Chapter 733 Dont even think about untying yourself
Don't worry, the kind of actors who specialize in bad movies and make the audience turn off their stomachs as soon as they see him will not be so crazy that they want to direct movies.
hehe!
are you crazy?
No one watches the TV series starring the actors for free, so you actually want the audience to pay to go to the cinema to suffer?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, actors who carry a large number of audiences' favor transform into directors. Well, not to mention, at least during his first two works, the audience was particularly tolerant and preferential to their works, with a filter.
mirror.
With these two factors put together, it can be said that from the starting point, an actor's transformation into a director has taken a huge advantage.
As for movies, many people regard them as works of art, but some people only regard them as fast-selling products.
Actually, this is pretty much the same.
What kind of movies have the movie market been flooded with for a long time? When audiences go to the cinema every holiday, what kind of works do they expect to see?
It's just to relieve boredom and relax. Do you think they are all rushing to watch a classic movie that can leave its name in film history?
no no!
To be honest, many viewers, or it can be said that the vast majority of viewers who go to the cinema to relax and relax, do not have that otherworldly style.
They just want to see some movies of medium quality that are suspenseful, exciting, funny, and tearful.
Those classics?
Come on, the so-called classics are not necessarily in line with the public's taste. Most of them are dull and boring, making people feel on pins and needles in the cinema.
Therefore, among these medium-quality films, actors-turned-directors have plenty of room to operate.
A little talent, a little keen sense, and an understanding of hot topics form the basis for a popular movie.
Of course, after doing this, if a movie wants to achieve basic success, serious directing is also indispensable.
Putting aside those ostentatious skills, as a film director, telling a story well is the basic thing. Generally speaking, people who transition from actors to directors tend not to come up with so many nonsense.
What a feeling, what atmosphere.
Those are all imaginary, and they are things that only directors who value art should pursue, special metaphysics.
That kind of metaphysical thing, if you do it well, it will be a masterpiece; if you don't do it well, it will be nonsense and still be treated as a treasure.
For those transitioning directors who just want to make medium-quality films, they are useless and can be completely discarded.
However, in the current film market, or in other words, friends who are directing graduates from major universities, it seems that they have fallen into a dead end.
I haven’t learned to walk yet, so I want to learn to run first.
What they watch every day are things like Godard and Bergman, which can be said to be New Wave and Expressionist. Therefore, in their eyes, it seems that only such literary and artistic films are high-end and high-end.
If you want to succeed in the directing world, you have to pursue that goal and learn from such role models.
For commercial films, many young directors who have just entered the industry are often not that interested.
Of course, the so-called interest must be considered from two aspects.
One is that he really has little interest, and the other is that shooting a commercial film requires a huge investment. How can an ordinary student who has just graduated from school have the ability to attract such a large investment?
Even if you win, how can you save everything you have and be sure that you can get your money back?
So, you see, low-budget literary films have naturally become the first choice for many fledgling film directors.
Our movies are not made for the general audience, but for the big guys in the industry.
Just for the sake of winning prizes!
As long as there are awards, given the current situation, it will be enough to gain a certain degree of popularity and attract investment.
The investment for the next movie has been secured.
Of course, such an attempt is risky. Believe me, there are not that many directors who are fond of literary films.
The initial goal of many people is to become famous in the industry by making a few artistic films. After that, they can openly dive into the waters of commercial films.
However, reality often educates them.
Do you think commercial films are so easy to get started with?
Besides, you started out making art films. So, as we all know, art films are not profitable. How could those big bosses behind the scenes who are waiting to make big money easily give you the opportunity to let a director of art films like you harm commercial films?
Woolen cloth?
This can prove the binary paradox, that is to say, the better you make literary and artistic films, the fewer opportunities you will have in the field of commercial films.
If you are so good at shooting things that don't make money, then this proves that you are only suitable for shooting this type of film.
You have performed so well in the field of literary and artistic films, why do you have the nerve to work in the field of commercial films?
As a result, many young and ambitious directors took the wrong path from the beginning. They originally wanted to win an award internationally through small-cost literary films, and then use these awards to make flowers bloom outside the walls.
Won the favor of major investors.
However, the bosses are not stupid either. They know very well that literary films and commercial films are two completely different fields.
Directors who are good at making commercial films often find it really hard to control those romantic films with minor romances, and can't decide which tone to use.
Therefore, major investors will also observe that an artistic film director who has gained international reputation will often not be favored by them.
Because they know very well that directors who are good at shooting commercial films are very good at mobilizing the audience's emotions and understand what points can resonate with the audience.
This kind of expertise is completely incompatible with the areas that art film directors are good at. Why force each other?
However, people like Wu Di who have transitioned from actors to directors are often very concerned about the needs of the audience.
When making a movie, you put what the audience wants to see first, and put your own dazzling skills and emotional expression behind.
They often don't choose to shoot literary films, and naturally they won't do thankless things.
Let's start with commercial films. Although the themes and types may be different, in the final analysis, the needs of the audience should be the starting point for creation.
With this starting point, we can clearly distinguish between directors of literary and artistic films and directors of commercial films.
Directors of literary and artistic films don't care what the audience likes to watch. What they care about is the expression of self-awareness.
You also have to be a bit of an artist.
However, actors-turned-directors often do not have such psychological baggage. They can smoothly enter the field of commercial films and find suitable themes for filming.
As long as one or two movies accumulate a good reputation and even become a box office hit, there will be no worries about follow-up investments rolling in.
It is a matter of course to build the famous director's daughter into a director's brand. It is not difficult. What's more, Zhang Feng already has a blockbuster movie in hand, which is still fresh and hot, so it is even easier.
Being able to turn someone like Wu Di who has not yet figured out his career as an actor into a famous director is his true ability.
"Do you really want to make a movie and become a director?"
At the critical moment, the system still misses Wu Di.
Zhang Feng went to do his own business, while Wu Di was also preparing to contact Sisi to finalize the signing as soon as possible.
Although Wu Di previously felt that his company had just started and could not accommodate Sisi, the Buddha, but now, he has changed his mind.
Anyway, this is Sisi's voluntary decision. What's more, there is really no other powerful company negotiating with her so far.
Then, there should be no problem if we cooperate.
As a result, before he could make a call, the system popped up with a look of regret, and Wu Di clicked his tongue.
"It's great to be a director. It also paves the way for the future. You see, this time, once I complete the task as required, you and I will be separated, and I can choose the development path I like."
The house hasn’t even been demolished yet, but Wu Di has already begun to think about the future. How can he not make the system sad?
"Don't you think it's a pity? The career of an actor is developing very well. I believe that you can develop very well even without my help in the future. It would be such a waste to become a director with such good momentum.
."
Wu Dike disagreed with what he said.
"Then do you think when is the right time?"
"It won't be appropriate when my popularity is at a low point and I have no filming at all!"
"Can you please stop making fun of me? When the time comes, I can't even get a good script for acting, so how can I get a good script to become a director?"
This is... really a problem.
Many actors-turned-directors have one thing in common, that is, self-directing and self-acting are the mainstream.
That is what later generations would say, making your own cake.
If you direct and act by yourself, if the box office results are good enough and the reputation is good, it will be a double bonus for a person who has the dual identity of director and actor.
On the one hand, his ability as a director has been recognized by the market and the audience, and he has slowly established his own brand reputation. On the other hand, as an actor, he produces and sells his own films, directs his own movies, and stars in his own films, which has earned him a reputation.
Good box office results, of course, must also be attributed to the individual. As an actor, the cumulative box office of an individual will also rise slowly.
Comparatively speaking, in this era, the individual commercial value of an actor is still much greater than that of a simple director. Therefore, an actor with good box office performance is also a hot director in the film market today. It is conceivable that this person
What high point will its commercial value reach?
This is definitely a profit-only business.
Of course, it must be successful. If unfortunately it suffers from box office reputation failure, then this dual identity will also be very damaging to the actor's own foundation.
However, these are all things for later. Now, Wu Di still has many movies in stock. Moreover, there is an invitation from Brother Hai.
Even if he wanted to direct a movie, he would have to wait until he finished all these movies. There was no rush.
"Retreating bravely from the rapids is definitely the best choice."
Since Wu Di said this, the system can't force anything more. After all, he is just a system and can't control human affairs.
As a human being, no matter how Wu Di wants to choose, even if he announces in the next second that he will never cooperate with the system again, the system can only passively bear it.
As for the consequences, that is what Wu Di has to bear, and it has nothing to do with the system.
"How's the College Student Film Festival going? Didn't you sign up? Why didn't I see you attending?"
Wu Di was not surprised that the system knew about this.
Regarding Wu Di's privacy, he and the system have always maintained a tacit understanding. It's okay for you to know and for me to know.
As long as there are no rumors, as long as Wu Di is not embarrassed so much that he cannot come to Taiwan, he can just close one eye.
There are non-human intelligent creatures over there, and I have no idea what they look like. You, a mere mortal, can only survive in this world because of the system.
You are completely transparent in the eyes of others, what more do you want?
Thinking of this, Wu Di couldn't help but sigh: "What you said is of no use."
"Why is it useless? Did you win the prize?"
"That," Wu Di said vaguely, as if he didn't want to mention this topic, and the system immediately became excited.
He quickly asked, but Wu Di couldn't bear it and said: "No."
"Didn't win the prize?"
"How is this possible?" The system was simply unbelievable.
That shocked look seemed to be even more serious than Wu Di's.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The quality of the movie Labyrinth is very good. I am not bragging for you. It can be said that this is the best quality suspense movie that can be seen on the market this year.
It’s over.”
"What kind of taste do these judges have?"
"You can't lie to me!" The system was still aggrieved before, but after thinking about it, it was full of doubts.
Wu Di didn't care.
"What did I lie to you for? Is this necessary? What we lose is what we gain. Who knows, there might not be a better opportunity waiting for us?"
It seems to be true: "You can't even get a general prize like this for college students. Is there really any hope for Shuicheng?"
"It's none of your business."
"Isn't June the final deadline? Isn't it not there yet?"
"Don't worry. When the time comes, if I get the grand prize as required, you will untie me obediently. If you don't get it, then I won't hang around."
"Wherever you come from, go back."
Surprisingly, Wu Di's attitude is still very tough, and he doesn't seem to be worried that there is a high possibility that he will be returned to the system world.
To be honest, this can be said to be a heavy loss for Wu Di.
After all, in this kind of binding system management, Wu Di has already achieved very good results, and he has accumulated a lot in this life. If he does not continue to grasp such a good situation, what will he do with all the previous efforts?
Wasn't it all in vain?
Besides, this is considered a significant loss to the system.
The competition in the system world is also very fierce. Being able to get a host like Wu Di is a stroke of luck.
But now, Wu Di told him firmly that it was over, everything would be over, and there was no such thing as a feast that never ends.
As long as they complete this task, they will disband. The system will never accept such a thing!
