Before the movie was released, he was floating. Wu Di instantly felt that he was talking too much again. If he had known better, he would not have told Lao Zhang this method.
Fortunately, he just mentioned this casually and did not tell him the specific implementation method. Otherwise, Wu Di was really worried that Lao Zhang would contact the company himself in the next second!
hehe!
This matter cannot be left to him.
If you don't do it well, you will become a fool, so what should you do?
"Mr. Zhang, since you accept this method, leave it to me to control the volume of public opinion. However, I will do it in my own way. I also hope that if you see something that you are not satisfied with, don't
Intervene.”
"Haste makes waste in many things. What we want is the final conclusion, rather than excessive intervention in every link."
"Can you understand?"
Wu Di and Lao Zhang looked at each other like this, and Lao Zhang, after a moment of silence, finally smiled happily: "Okay!"
"I promise you, isn't it just that you won't let me interfere? Then it's up to you!"
The son-in-law is like this, so if he doesn't use it, it will be in vain.
Lao Zhang finally figured it out.
All right!
Since Lao Zhang agreed, Wu Di also had reason to refuse. It was time to give these ancient humans a little bit of a navy shock.
In fact, it seems that although Wu Di has plenty of gunpowder, Sanyan Erpai does not need to use the power of the navy to guide him.
After all, Lao Zhang's previous hypes were very successful, which raised the attention of San Yan Er Pai to a high level.
The audience is full of expectations for this movie with a strange style, and Lao Zhang is also confused. What good will it do to him to raise the audience's tone so high?
Doesn't he know that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment?
Of course, for Lao Zhang, whether he hypes him up or not can't change the audience's expectations of him. After all, he is now the well-deserved number one among domestic entertainment directors.
Who can compare with him?
Who is his opponent?
Since the so-called commercialization experiment of the previous film was a great success, Lao Zhang's new film has been widely anticipated by the industry.
There are many who are waiting for him to produce another masterpiece.
Of course, there are many people waiting to see the joke.
After all, everyone makes mistakes, and Lao Zhang is an exception. The better the performance in the previous one, the greater the possibility of falling off the altar in the next one. This is a regular phenomenon.
And what about Lao Zhang?
The work was done with great fanfare, and it was said that it was just an experimental work, just for fun, but in fact, it was also full of expectations.
After all, film is also a very serious art form. The most important thing is that shooting it is not about writing and painting, which requires a huge investment.
Under huge cost pressure, claiming that everything we do is just for fun is inherently irresponsible and unconvincing.
Since it has been able to attract so much investment and build up such a huge momentum, it is enough to see that Lao Zhang is definitely not playing tricks on San Yan Er Tai.
He is going too far!
The military journey is dangerous!
You see, according to traditional concepts, Lao Zhang's previous works were very successful, receiving more praise from both the industry and fans.
This brought Lao Zhang's reputation to a new peak.
So, the audience will definitely have higher expectations for Lao Zhang's next movie, and they will also doubt whether Lao Zhang can produce better quality works.
After all, creative inspiration doesn’t always burst out; it always dries up.
And Lao Zhang is obviously no longer a newcomer, so naturally his inspiration will not be as abundant as when he was young.
Therefore, after the praise, there are more doubts.
Lao Zhang is a man who is always enterprising. He has a quick temper, but he is also full of confidence in his works.
Facing a peak, he never intends to fall from the altar until a new work is released. What he pursues is a new peak.
Therefore, in order to better free himself from the dilemma of public opinion, he repeatedly weighed it when conceiving a new work.
If you continue to use traditional shooting ideas to interpret those drama films and tell emotional stories, although you may not necessarily fail, but correspondingly, the impression on the audience will not be very good.
Either they question his fear of failure, or they accuse him of losing his creativity and falling back on his old ways.
Anyway, for a well-known director like Lao Zhang, before seeing the real material, there will always be more doubts than expectations.
Since such voices will appear no matter what, and there is no way to prevent them, why do we insist on performing according to their scripts?
All right!
Didn’t they say that I would only shoot those old stories about old sesame seeds and rotten millet?
This time, I will give them a new one to play with.
I also do structure, I also do comedy, let’s see what they will criticize.
I'm lucky if I succeed, but it's my fate if I don't succeed.
If Lao Zhang does this, it will be equivalent to punching the old monk to death, just to stop these gossips from talking.
Look, I've let myself go, what else can you do to me?
Am I afraid of being scolded?
Am I worried that you will give me a bad review?
I've already made my appearance look like this, can't you still see what's going on with me?
Are you still embarrassed to speak up?
This...is the meaning of taking a different approach.
At this moment, Wu Di also figured it out. However, what he didn't expect was that people always have to look at Shu. He has obviously given up on the reputation of the public. However, when he heard that Wu Di had a way to turn things around, Lao Zhang immediately changed his mind.
A look.
Get it started!
No matter what method is used, as long as it does not break the law or commit any crime, it can be done, and Lao Zhang must be kept in an invincible position in the field of public opinion.
"Mr. Zhang, you just said that you also want to participate in the competition, right?"
Let’s get back to the topic, let’s talk about the key points.
Lao Zhang was stunned and immediately responded: "I did have such an idea before, but after watching Xiao Qi's movie, I stopped thinking about it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Forget it this time, let's talk about it next time."
"That's it," Wu Di also smiled: "Then I'll feel relieved."
"You just wait and see. When I get home, I will contact a promotion company I am familiar with and make a plan to ensure the release of the movie."
"What are you worried about?"
"Are you afraid that I will fall into your trap?"
Wu Dimeng nodded: "Of course, how famous a director are you? If you go to Shuicheng to compete, regardless of the quality of the film, the jury will give you a spot. Wouldn't that squeeze our chances of being shortlisted out of thin air?
"
"This is our first time participating in the competition, so naturally we will pay more attention to the probability of success. Please give us a face, Mr. Zhang. We are also recommended by you to sign up. If we are not shortlisted, wouldn't it be a shame for you?"
Hum!
I knew this kid had this idea!
At this time, Lao Zhang couldn't help but admire himself. He was really smart and could see the conspiracy of these people at a glance.
"It's okay not to participate in the competition, but you should also pay close attention to your affairs over there and pay attention to the impact."
Transactions are always bilateral.
Regarding this point, Lao Zhang calculated it very clearly. At the critical moment, he was not confused at all.
"Don't worry about this. I have experience." Wu Di patted his chest and boasted: "Besides, I didn't tell you not to participate in the film festival. Shuicheng is not the only one among the three major film festivals. You can also go to Xidu!"
Lao Zhang: Daqing, which one should I go to? I have to listen to you?
On Lao Zhang's side, the filming of the new movie has been completed, and everything is waiting for the moment when the bride takes off her hijab.
On the other side, in the quiet place of Xiangshan, another peak in the domestic entertainment directing world is hard at work.
Once upon a time, he and Lao Zhang could be regarded as twin peaks and absolute rivals. However, in the past few years, he has inevitably become a little lonely.
On the one hand, Lao Zhang's career has become more and more prosperous and has not stagnated because of his age.
Although there are always discussions about whether his works are as deep and valuable as when he was young, and whether his creative ability has declined.
However, it has to be said that discussion is good, which shows that in people's hearts, especially in the hearts of the new generation of young people who have been baptized by Internet communication, Lao Zhang still has a unique status.
On the other hand, it is natural that your career is not developing as expected. You can only blame yourself for this kind of thing, and it has nothing to do with Lao Zhang.
Who is such a depressed person?
Who else could it be?
Of course, he is the poet in the directing world, the representative of lyricism and freehand brushwork, you Brother Hai!
In recent years, Brother Hai has always been very melancholy.
It was a strong hesitation that could not be waved away or thrown away. It would always come to mind unconsciously and harass him.
This is the contradiction of human beings.
If Brother Hai had never reached such a height in the past, he would not be so lost now.
How about giving up halfway?
So what if it often ends in an anticlimax?
Didn’t I finish half of the photo?
Sometimes it’s even more than half!
It’s not that everyone doesn’t know the level of domestic entertainment directors nowadays. Let’s not talk about anything else. I’ll just talk about the beginning and middle of every movie I shoot with my heart. Which one is not brilliant and gorgeous, and is particularly outstanding?
That kind of use of light and shadow, that kind of story, that kind of emotional expression, if you put it on any director in domestic entertainment today, would they be able to produce it?
Isn't this enough to illustrate my level?
Old man, the sword is not old yet!
However, self-confidence is self-confidence, and it is always impossible to produce works that satisfy the audience and the market. This is still a big regret for Brother Hai.
As a director, he is poetic and willing to add a lot of personal emotions to his films.
However, even a poet like Brother Hai has to admit that sometimes, as a director, you cannot settle for obscurity.
You can't accept it!
You can't stand it!
What's more, you still have a natural enemy there in the domestic entertainment industry. He doesn't need to do anything. As long as he does his job well, it will be enough to make Brother Hai sleepless and sleepless.
If you say you don't have a competitive mentality, you're deceiving yourself. If you say you're not jealous at all, you're just kidding. The truth is, Brother Hai can't let go.
Every time I sit and reflect, Brother Hai has repeatedly confirmed his own mentality. It's not jealousy, it really isn't.
It’s not envy, no, in terms of literary skills and personal attainments, Brother Hai thinks he is one step ahead of Lao Zhang.
Moreover, this impression is not only rooted in his mind, it is also a broad consensus in the industry.
However, Brother Hai is always a little unwilling to deal with Lao Zhang.
hehe!
I think back in those days, when everyone was a lover of scar literature, you and I were immersed in memories. The subjects we photographed were always on the same track.
Of course, in comparison, Lao Zhang always pays more attention to the story and the plot is more compact and solid, while Brother Hai pays more attention to the expression of emotions.
Haige's works always convey a touch of melancholy and depth from time to time, especially with that sad tone.
This is one of the reasons why he can gain countless fans.
After all, the so-called movie lovers are actually mostly petty bourgeoisie. Aren’t the so-called petty bourgeoisie the kind of people who like to engage in petty romances?
Sadness about spring and autumn, and self-pity are the mainstream. Since this is the tone of this group, it can be said that they are naturally attracted to directors like Hai Ge.
That kind of tone, that kind of emotion, it’s so exciting!
In addition, compared to Lao Zhang, Hai Ge's works are always more refined and have a more upper-class consciousness and an elite tendency.
Then, there is no doubt that this type of movie will resonate more spiritually with moviegoers. After all, you know, in the era when Lao Zhang and Hai Ge became famous, there were many cinemas that could make their popularity soar.
, and even the international awards they won. To be honest, at that time, except for these petty bourgeoisie young people in the city, who could keep them all?
No.
The conditions at that time were not only a problem of cinema coverage, but also many places without electricity!
Even if there is no electricity, do you still expect everyone to watch the movie? Do you still want them to keep the name of the director in their hearts?
As for Lao Zhang, of course he is also making a movie, and he also has an audience problem, but his story is still relatively down-to-earth.
It's very rustic and heavy, so it always reaches a wider audience and won't face the same dilemma as Brother Hai.
Similarly, Brother Hai naturally has an advantage, that is, he stands in a very high position and is held up to a high altar by a group of young men and women in literature and art.
unattainable!
That is definitely God!
It's Aquaman!
Therefore, among children who are active on the contemporary Internet, Brother Hai is also an ancient legend. Although he has completely overturned in the past few years, this does not hinder his discussion among movie fans.
When it comes to Brother Hai, a group of people are particularly prone to get angry. Anyone who dares to say that Brother Hai is a gangster will fight with their lives.
But there is another faction, naturally those who are at odds with the literary and artistic youth groups. They are extremely contemptuous of Brother Hai and do not like him at all.
Do you think he just reaped the dividends of the times? He was at his peak when he debuted. What are the works he shot later?
