These people were all vulgar and uninformed people. Although their remarks were extremely offensive, Director Gu did not take them seriously.
That’s it!
They are just little dolls, let them talk!
However, the remarks of other people were something that Director Gu could not ignore.
That is those professional film critics, although there are also some who are critical and deliberately critical among these people.
But even so, their advice is generally professional.
Many of the opinions raised were to the point.
But this time, it can be said that every comment made by the critics was enough to make Gu Mei's blood pressure soar.
The casting fails, the plot is delayed, and the prose narrative lacks focus, which simply negates the movie Master.
The questions they raised can be said to be principled and basic, and they are not meant to criticize minutiae.
They just pointed at Gu Mei’s nose and said, your movie is absolutely useless!
Just tasteless!
How could Gu Mei, who was used to hearing praises, stand up to such accusations?
Of course he was angry!
She was definitely not in a good mood. Facing all kinds of accusations from the outside world, Gu Mei fought hard for herself on the show and never backed down easily.
But under the greater wave of momentum, her personal remarks will definitely not be accepted by the critics.
After all, their accusations are based on facts!
On what basis?
Isn’t the box office the basis?
If it was really well shot and recognized by the public, how could it fail miserably at the box office?
What?
You said that second place cannot be called a disastrous defeat at all.
So can Master’s achievements like this be considered a success?
You see, even when Gu Mei complained on the show, at most she could only say that her movies were not in line with the audience's taste, and she could not agree that her results were excellent.
The so-called box office performance is closely related to the investment in the movie. For example, if the performance of Master is like this, it can even be regarded as a great success for Maze!
After all, the little investment in the labyrinth can be considered a fraction of the Master's.
Therefore, to be able to achieve the box office results of Master is of course a huge profit. Moreover, if such box office results are achieved, then the director who shot the film, Xiao Qi, will naturally receive the most dividends.
His market was suddenly opened!
Good guy!
Who is this guy?
Are purple stars falling from the sky?
This is amazing too!
As you know, the entertainment industry is actually a circle of acquaintances. Many times, in order to maintain the prosperity of the circle, of course it is necessary to attract some new people.
Then, people like Xiao Qi will naturally come into their sight immediately, and the door to their connections will be opened for him in an instant.
Absolutely no hesitation.
It's a pity that as time goes by, Gu Mei will never have Xiao Qi's age again, and the industry's requirements for her will never be the same as the newcomer Xiao Qi's.
She not only needs a good work to prove herself, but also needs a breakthrough, which comes in various senses.
In other words, it is not enough for the movie Master to have a box office, but it is also not enough to have word-of-mouth but not be recognized by the box office.
She must achieve good results in all aspects and angles, so that she can be praised by the industry. This is the level that a well-known director like her should have.
The results of it?
Now it has become like this.
The picture becomes darker and darker, and almost nothing can be done to reverse the situation. Can Director Gu feel happy? Can she be happy?
But what does this matter have to do with Wu Di?
Although what Jianbing said made sense, Wu Di still couldn't figure out the key to it.
However, under Jianbing's earnest guidance, Wu Di really felt that this matter really had something to do with him.
At least, he did not do enough when it came to promoting the movie Confucius. Even if Gu Mei didn't come to him, he himself should actively participate in the promotion.
The results of it?
He didn't participate at all, and even seemed a little angry.
Didn't you invite me too? Why did I rush up?
However, in this case, Gu Mei must have some opinions in his heart. Doesn't this mean that he is siding with the enemy?
She was obviously a starring role in a competing movie, but she was cast in her own movie and given a chance. What was the result?
Movies starring the same person are huge hits and make a lot of money, but at the same time they are left with nothing but criticism and loneliness.
How could the arrogant Gu Mei swallow such a sigh of relief?
"Thank you for reminding me. This is indeed a mistake on my part. Once the film is finished, I will find an opportunity to apologize to Director Gu face to face."
"Gu Dao is magnanimous and will definitely forgive me."
This person is quite willing to find excuses for himself. Can someone like Gu Mei forgive him easily?
Everything has been preset on his side.
"Anyway, your attitude must be correct. This time, you really pissed off Director Gu. After the Spring Festival, I heard a lot of complaints."
Pancakes are also difficult to describe.
Gu Mei can criticize a small supporting role like Wu Di over and over again. Can he, the leading actor, survive?
Of course not!
Therefore, when he mentioned this matter to Wu Di today, he also had the intention of dragging his allies into the water together.
"I know this. Brother, you are also in a difficult situation."
"There is nothing difficult about this. Let me tell you, of course I have my reasons. If everything develops in the current direction, you and Director Gu may still have to meet. Therefore, there is no harm in easing the relationship now.
."
"We still want to meet?"
"What's happening here?"
Wu Di's heart skipped a beat: No way!
Didn't you just say that you hated him so much that you complained about him, and now you have to meet him? Is this... could this be the legendary sadomasochistic relationship?
However, looking at Director Gu’s appearance, he doesn’t look like this type!
Seeing the constipated expression on his face, Pancake laughed loudly: "Why do you have such an expression?"
"Aren't you happy that Director Gu wants to make a film with you?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Are there any new movies?
It shouldn’t be!
According to the development trajectory in history, after the Confucius collapsed, Gu Dao remained quiet for several years.
After the defeat of Confucius, no new works were published.
Now, although Wu Di changed the release result of the skin change, he really didn't interfere much on Master's side.
The Master is still the same Master, and judging from the finished product, it is not much different from the one in the memory, and the result is the same result.
It seems that the development trajectory of the Master has not changed significantly because of Wu Di's participation. Doesn't this mean that Gu Mei's personal destiny will not change much?
"Here is a piece of news for you. It is the costume film and large-scale TV series I mentioned before. The director Gu is also interested in competing for the position of director. You understand."
That TV series... isn't that still a famous work?
Wu Di was stunned, and Jianbing continued to explain patiently. It turned out that the previous costume masterpiece did encounter some financial difficulties.
However, after the Chinese New Year, the investor's financial situation improved, so now they plan to start filming immediately.
This was originally a very easy thing, but the speed of change in anything in the entertainment industry is not that fast.
Although there was a problem with the investment, the entire project was not started at all. However, when I wanted to restart it now, I found that the situation had changed a lot.
The first is the starring role. It doesn't matter to Jianbing, he has always reserved time, but the other starring roles are different.
The male lead who was originally going to play the other side's overlord resigned due to scheduling issues.
then what should we do?
It's not anyone else's responsibility.
Originally, the filming of this TV series had not officially started, and the leading actors had not yet signed contracts. However, it turned out that the project was postponed for two months because of problems with your film studio. Since there was no contract signed, everyone is still free.
If there was a better project with exciting shooting, there was no reason to refuse it, so they just jumped on it.
Not only the lead actors, but also the director has changed. The original chief director seems to be unable to take charge due to various reasons.
It can also be said that it's not that he can't film, but he can't put all his energy into this TV series.
This is what happened. In fact, the director was very innocent, and he didn't want to. It was because the timing couldn't go wrong.
All because of the length of the film!
Now is an era of popularity. For example, it is very common for TV series to be too long.
This kind of water is not ordinary water, but large-scale water, planned water, water that floods the Jinshan Mountains.
For example, the initial plan for this TV series was to shoot fifty episodes. For such a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation, and the content is so compact and diverse, fifty episodes is indeed a more reasonable number.
At the beginning, Jianbing also thought that this was a more appropriate episode, and he could renew his relationship with a director he had worked well with before. This was of course a very gratifying thing.
However, after preparations were made again, the situation changed qualitatively.
Investors have already made bold claims that our TV series will have 100 episodes!
right!
You heard it right!
That’s one hundred episodes!
Well, this is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At least, Jianbing was shocked when he first heard the news.
This... is too long.
Can it really be finished?
Is it really possible to shoot them all?
It’s hard to believe that someone would have such perseverance to shoot a hundred episodes of a TV series. At least, the last named chief director of Jianbing’s Good Friend was a little scared.
Everyone is somewhat famous, and everyone is very busy. If one hundred episodes of a TV series like this are shot, in terms of scale, it will be roughly equivalent to the length of three other TV series!
This is really a bit of a drag and a waste of time.
Although I don’t know how the specific script was written, it is conceivable that under the current conditions and background, if you want to make a 100-episode TV series, the project is quite huge and difficult.
You have to know that the TV drama market today is already different from what it was in the 1980s and 1990s.
At that time, in order to shoot a TV series remake of a famous movie, the crew could study it for three or four years, and the final product would only be dozens of episodes.
But now, such a TV series, which is said to be a masterpiece, can only have three to four months of filming time.
The time was shortened ten times compared to the past, and the length of the film shot was actually longer than before.
If you think about it, it would be impossible for this kind of TV series to make him uncomfortable.
Either it's water, or it's shoddy. In short, it's very difficult to produce pure quality products in such a short shooting time.
This is not a problem with the director's skill, it is simply a problem with the setting up of this project. Think about it, for a 100-episode TV series, each episode would require at least 35 minutes of filming, excluding the opening and closing credits.
So how many minutes does 100 sets total?
That’s right!
A very simple arithmetic question, that’s 3500 minutes!
In other words, it will take at least about 60 hours of shooting!
This is really difficult. Looking at domestic entertainment, or even looking at the film and television industry of various countries on the planet, if you want to shoot such a long TV series with full content, all kinds of excitement, numerous contradictions, and a clear main line, almost no director can do it.
Such ability.
There are some exciting themes that can break through this number of episodes and shoot at the same time, but they definitely have nothing to do with the one that Jianbing and the others are going to shoot.
That's the realm of family movies.
Daily style is the way to go.
Generally speaking, in today's film and television drama market, the only TV dramas that can exceed a hundred episodes are family films.
This has a certain basis in reality.
Because family films are inherently about a steady flow and tell stories about daily life, which can give people a sense of closeness.
Moreover, the story is rich in material, almost at your fingertips. The audience for family films is often older women.
This type of audience will continue to watch a certain TV series once they start watching it. The so-called audience stickiness is extremely high.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter if the family film is longer, it can be digested. For investors, this kind of family film is also a better choice.
After all, today's TV stations are also trying their best to fill up the entire day's broadcast time, so in addition to those blockbuster movies that will be on prime time, other time periods, such as morning shows, daytime shows, and various time-slots
Theaters need a lot of TV dramas to fill them.
Then, this kind of slow family movie is the first choice.
First, it is close to life, making it easier for women friends who control the daytime slot to be interested in watching it.
Second, and most importantly, this type of TV series is generally not too expensive when packaged. After all, the production cost itself is relatively low.
Commonly known as cheap, it is cheap and often has good ratings. Moreover, because of the large number of episodes, it can occupy a certain time period for a long time and be broadcast for a long time, so it will naturally be loved by TV stations.
It's no wonder that once many TV stations find that a certain family movie has good enough ratings, they will broadcast it repeatedly within a short period of time.
For no other reason than to save money and trouble.
For a long time, the director responsible for programming did not have to worry about the arrangements for the next film.
