In the end, it’s true that you won’t know it until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.
If I had known this, I might as well not have watched it!
When Wu Di opened his eyes, the first thought that came to his mind was this.
He really stepped on one of these deep pits, and there was another one that he wished he could lose his memory!
Period film?
Or Meng's orphans?
real or fake?
Back in the room, Zhang Feng was still busy at Mi Li's house and had not come back. Wu Di quickly summoned the system and asked him to call up the movie and hurry up to watch it.
Why are these great directors unwilling to let him go?
Even if he is a great director, the most famous one, someone who is coveted by others, that is not the reason for the two of them to join forces to deceive him.
After three words and two films, Wu Di ushered in another masterpiece, that is, Mengshi Orphans!
That’s right!
that's it.
Lao Zhang’s information is not wrong, not to mention, the opening and closing subtitles of the movie also show that this is the movie of this year!
This is it!
Compared to Sanyan Erpai, this is a more troublesome film. Generally speaking, it is probably on the same level as Master.
Just how to say it?
Covered in the guise of a serious drama, the airs are really big, but what about the details?
The details must not be delved into, and the most frightening thing is that, as a costume movie that is extremely far away from this era and does not have that high social awareness, the story is as bland as water.
No flavor or taste.
Those big conflicts, big scenes, and big turning points that you think are actually useless in the eyes of the audience.
It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
It would be unfair to say that there is no story or plot.
There is still a story, and at the same time you can see that compared to the master director Gu Mei, Meng's Orphan still wrote the story carefully.
A story that may not have taken up much space in history has been stuffed with a lot of things that can be extended.
This is definitely a huge breakthrough for Brother Hai, who has never been good at telling stories.
Of course, this kind of breakthrough is only for him personally. As for Brother Hai's shortcomings, they are naturally exclusive to him.
It just means that he has started telling a story, not that he can tell a story well. In fact, the temperament displayed in the whole movie of "The Orphans of Meng" is still loose.
Many times, things that can be easily explained clearly have to go through many detours and include two sentences about life, making it poetic and picturesque.
Another huge problem is that when Brother Hai got up again from Mantou's somersault, he still didn't seem to fully understand the lesson that Mantou taught him.
Among the Meng's orphans, he has gathered a lot of celebrities, and they are all very familiar to everyone, and some are even famous for being greasy.
In the past few years, Brother Hai has been superstitious about star power and always felt that his previous movies might be too sophisticated and too prose.
Affect the audience's understanding, so using these popular stars can at least make the audience enter the cinema as much as possible.
As for whether they can understand my masterpiece after luring them into the cinema, that is their business.
Doing this can be regarded as an explanation to the theater chain.
Don’t you want the box office?
You see, the audience bought tickets to enter the venue, doesn’t that count as a box office result? Didn’t you also make money?
This is enough to prove my appeal.
This is Brother Hai, who is just making a movie, but he can still be so willful.
Regarding this aspect of his business, both investors and theater chains are having a lot of headaches.
But, there's nothing you can do.
Some people are born to be darlings and have a good life, but there is nothing they can do about it, just like Brother Hai.
Many times, even if you know that he is acting out according to his own temper, you just can't do anything about him.
What else can be done?
Pamper me.
Who makes people so talented?
Who makes this person so famous internationally?
After all, in this day and age, there are really not many directors who are as widely recognized internationally as Lao Zhang and Hai Ge, and this kind of prestige is still long-lasting.
It can be said that they are rare.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of maintaining influence or from the perspective of cultivating and paving the way for new talents, great directors like them cannot be left without films.
Moreover, he also has the will and can always come up with scripts that seem to have great selling points and ideas.
Of course, investors from all walks of life still have to give Brother Hai some face.
After all, he is such a naughty person.
What's more, people have put down their airs now. Really, after inviting so many celebrities, many of them are obviously not suitable for this role, but it doesn't matter. As long as they are popular among the audience, it doesn't matter.
That's almost enough. With Brother Hai here, are you worried that no one will watch the movie?
However, it was this kind of thinking that delayed Brother Hai for many years.
That’s right!
His idea may be right. There are many blockbuster movies nowadays. Sometimes if you carefully study their plots and their filming, they may not be so beautiful.
There are many shortcomings.
However, because of the presence of celebrities, a movie that originally only had a six-point score can be praised by fans from all walks of life as an eight-point score.
What's even more convenient is that these fans are often willing to spend a lot of effort and spend real money on movies.
Box office!
That's all money!
They are all real gold and silver, who is nobler than the other? The same gold bar is placed in front of you, can you tell which one is noble and which one is dirty?
There is no shame in making money from fans.
However……
When we got to Brother Hai, a problem arose.
The idea of inviting celebrities is right, and there is nothing wrong with it. What is wrong is that there is something wrong with the people invited. Brother Hai's idea is still stuck on ten years ago.
The evil stars he invited are all well-known, which is no problem. However, these stars are generally a little older, about thirty years old.
Well, the fans of these celebrities have long passed the age of being aggressive, and they will not work hard to increase the box office for their idols.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What's more, they were not that popular anymore. The so-called popularity sometimes does not have an absolute correlation with popularity.
For example, take the wave of celebrities who became popular around 2000. In that era when television was still dominant, their popularity among the public was real.
Nothing to say about this.
If the current time point is 2000, then there will be no problem. If there were fans at that time who were so particular about chasing box office for their idols, their fans would be the most powerful group.
However, after all, it is now another ten years. In the past ten years, this group of stars have enjoyed the dividends of the first wave of star-making movements, and all of them have made a lot of money.
However, although their popularity is wide enough, their popularity is not high enough. The reason is simple. The new wave of young star-chasers no longer chase them.
The most popular people in the star chasing industry are always those young people in their twenties, such as Sisi and Cifang.
Obviously, it can also be seen from the ages of the stars themselves that they are generally more than ten years younger than the male and female protagonists selected by Brother Hai.
In short, the era of the last wave of stars has gradually passed. They can enjoy high popularity and use this popularity and the connections they have accumulated in the industry over the years to obtain better resources.
However, if you want to go further, you can only rely on improving your acting skills.
People who like to watch their performances have no concept of fans at all, and they will not go to the box office for the people they like.
I'm not used to this idea of them.
If Brother Hai wants to use celebrities to boost box office, he can only learn from Zhang Feng. Look, look for Sisi and find the power.
Coupled with Kung Fu superstars, it is guaranteed to lure men and women into the cinema to the greatest extent, and it can also fully mobilize their stupid fans to rush to the box office.
If you look at Brother Hai again, you will know where he went wrong.
To put it bluntly, my personality is still causing trouble, and I can't get rid of this face.
You want to make money at the box office, but you also want to maintain the style and quality of the movie to a certain extent, so this creates a situation where you can't do anything less than you want.
What are you talking about? To be honest, Brother Hai has never thought about it. In his impression, those are just idols and children.
I have never seen them act in a movie before, and their acting skills don't need to waste Brother Hai's time to watch them.
In short, there is no level at all.
It completely failed to meet Brother Hai's requirements. You know, Brother Hai is not the kind of director who would give advice to actors.
In his movies, big-name actors have to rely on themselves to perform, and what they can do depends entirely on their own skills.
I'm counting on Brother Hai's guidance, haha, it's impossible.
Many times, Hai Ge’s own movies are so confusing that even if he is willing to give you some advice, it is guaranteed to be the kind that you will not understand.
It's better not to say anything.
So, let’s forget about things like thinking about power.
Right, letting them come would not be good for me, and it would also be a huge psychological stimulus to Brother Hai.
Brother Hai, after all, is still far away from this era. Unlike Lao Zhang, even though he is about the same age, he is also a famous director in the same time period. However, Lao Zhang has always been comparable to the younger ones.
The actors and stars are relatively close.
In terms of male and female protagonists, on the one hand, Lao Zhang loves to discover new talents. Many of the current first-line stars, actors with status and qualifications, especially female stars, have worked with Lao Zhang back then, and Lao Zhang can be regarded as theirs.
Noble person.
Looking at the qualifications that Lao Zhang has discovered for new actors over the years, although they all seem to belong to the same category, in fact, the overall aesthetic trend is getting younger and younger.
What is rejuvenation?
Could it be that there are age differences among beauties and handsome men?
Shouldn’t the standard of having good facial features be universally recognized?
If there is no consensus among the audience, how can it be considered beautiful or ugly?
no no!
The so-called aesthetics are naturally not that simple. In fact, the era and fashion trends play a large guiding role.
For example, in the 1950s and 1960s, what were the so-called handsome guys at that time?
Thinking back to our parents and their era, what were their favorite popular celebrities like?
In fact, it can be distinguished from a very simple indicator.
For example, the actors' face shapes.
Think about it, yes!
As long as we look at old movies, we can easily see that in that era, both men and women, actors with square faces were active in the movies.
As for the actress, she tends to have a somewhat rounded square face shape, and her overall appearance is very plump, giving her a feeling of harvest and wealth.
And what about the male actors?
Not to mention.
If you don't have a standard face with Chinese characters, you will be embarrassed to fool around.
How manly is it?
This is the aesthetic tendency of the times at work.
In the era when Lao Zhang became popular, people's aesthetic tendencies have become more diversified. With the improvement of economic level and improvement of living conditions, people seem to be more inclined towards exquisite things.
Even the actors and stars whom we admire daily tend to have delicate faces.
The traditional square and round face is no longer popular, and has been replaced by small round faces and small pointed faces that can make people appear younger.
As the noble person of the stars and the director who gave them their works, Lao Zhang quickly understood this change.
It can also be said that this is just his sensitive artistic touch as a well-known director.
Because he produces films more efficiently and likes to use new actors, almost every year, he has the opportunity to come into contact with new students who graduated from major drama schools that year.
There are also schools in other categories that have something to do with drama, such as dance academies, music academies, etc.
If you have seen them enough, you will naturally know what the most popular looks are among this generation.
Why are you so confident?
Why so sure?
Of course, this is because the students who emerge from major colleges and universities have all gone through the keen eyes of teachers from major colleges and universities.
Different from other ordinary colleges and universities, major drama schools do not only rely on test scores to determine the outcome when selecting students for admission.
There is also an interview stage.
Of course it also includes a certain talent show.
Although the interview process varies from school to school, whether it is relaxed or strict.
However, one thing will not change, that is, because it is a drama school, students still have to look at their appearance.
Right.
This is a very simple truth.
Although strong talent also helps to a certain extent, in today's entertainment industry, a good-looking face is the most important factor.
Even if you have a bad figure, you can save it, but if you have a bad face, it is really difficult to develop better.
After all, today's audiences are also living increasingly refined lives, pursuing dressing and makeup effects. What they expect to see on the screen are at least faces that are more refined than theirs.
Therefore, in the selection of the reserve army of actors, it is natural to tend towards more refined and lighter types.
The plump and plump type is no longer popular.
The students who were selected by the teachers of those schools were sent to Lao Zhang, and then screened by Lao Zhang's discerning eyes. It can be said that the actors selected are all high-quality.
