This type of director usually does not work for the purpose of making money, and of course, they generally do not make any money.
They are what we usually call those literary film directors. They are frequent visitors to film festivals. They pay more attention to the recognition of industry insiders than the recognition of the general public.
Their works are expressions of emotion, the use of various camera movements, and innovations in film techniques. As long as they can win awards at film festivals, everything will no longer be a problem.
After all, there are only two purposes of being a human being, either for profit or fame.
As a director who specializes in making literary films, it is basically very difficult to achieve a good harvest at the box office.
Since you can't seek profit, you can only make a fuss about fame.
As long as the film festival continues, I will definitely have a place in the future when looking back at previous award-winning films.
It's also a great way to leave your name in film history.
Wu Di still has a correct understanding of himself. Fundamentally speaking, he is not a person who is too proficient in the directing industry. After all, he is a monk halfway.
Maybe it's not difficult for him to tell a good story, but if he wants to make achievements in those professional fields, it's really difficult.
He doesn’t understand at all!
Just look at his performance in the Maze crew. Although he can provide some new ideas to Xiao Qi, in fact, this can only be said to be a transformation of the plot. If Wu Di was allowed to shoot a movie by himself,
Plug-ins without a system are absolutely impossible.
But now Wu Di doesn't want to rely too much on the power of the system. After all, he has too many choices now.
Actors can do it, directors can do it, and of course the big boss behind the scenes can do it too.
Since it's all possible, why not try other things instead of just being involved in the directing track?
It's better to make money.
If you have a good script, you can also star in it yourself. This is also to maintain the image of your company.
There are only benefits to the company's operations and no harm.
But now, Wu Di has reached such a crossroads. Labyrinth is about to be released. In this movie, he is both the starring and the director.
It is precisely because of the combination of both identities. How the audience responds to his works and which identity they will prefer can now finally be revealed.
"Why are you here dressed like this?"
"Don't you have any other clothes?"
Behind the stage, Boss Wu was stunned when he saw Xiao Qi in an orange suit.
what is this?
What are these?
Xiao Qi is still aggrieved!
"It's not all your fault. I made an appointment that day to help me choose clothes, but what did you do? I contacted you for a long time and you didn't answer the phone, and now you're blaming me!"
This is really a slap in the face!
"Even if I don't help you choose clothes, you can't come wearing this outfit!"
Good guy, you won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Looking down, he saw that in addition to the orange suit, Xiao Qi also wore a pair of large leather shoes of the same color.
It’s really eye-catching!
"Didn't anyone tell you that dressing like this would be considered oily?"
"Beautiful thing?"
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"This shows that this outfit has obviously improved my appearance!"
Wu Di was so embarrassed that he was speechless: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, why didn't I realize that you are such a funny person before?"
“What a sense of humor!”
"All right!"
"Just wear it like this!"
"You are a director anyway, so no one will say anything about what you wear. The most important thing is that the work must be good. As long as the quality of the work is high, the appearance of the director is secondary."
"Hey, you said that, I love hearing it." Xiao Qi walked in front happily, Wu Di followed him, looking at his back: Fortunately, he is not black yet...
If it were black, it would be even oilier...
The so-called premiere is just a promotional event for the movie. The reason why it is very important is because it is the first shot of the movie.
Generally speaking, before a movie is officially released in theaters, its content is kept secret from the outside world. For example, even if it has been released abroad, the audience for watching it is basically limited to people in the industry.
, these people are still professional and tend not to leak the core plot of the movie.
Even internal movie viewing sessions are mainly aimed at those who are responsible for arranging movies within the theater. These people watch the movie to see the quality of the movie and determine how many movies to schedule.
Generally speaking, films that dare to do this are more confident in their own quality. On the contrary, there are some films that, for one or other reason, will not be shown to relevant people before they are officially released.
The purpose of covering it up is to generate more box office and to prevent theaters from knowing the true quality of the movie.
Against this background, a premiere is the first meeting between a movie and the general public.
After going through the premiere, the reputation of a movie at the public level can basically be determined, which is also a good publicity tool.
Once the premiere is done, it will naturally attract a wave of attention. For example, for our movie Labyrinth, because of the intervention of Boss Wu, we will naturally not lag behind in publicity.
A work like Labyrinth that has already won awards abroad naturally does not require excessive or excessive marketing.
What we want to highlight is style.
The place to focus on publicity is the Internet.
After all, young people who are now active on the Internet pay the most attention to these foreign awards, especially those who are immersed in fan circles, and it can be said that these awards are treasured at home.
After all, brothers and sisters need it when they brag!
In fact, awards are just a sign. In many cases, award-winning movies may not necessarily meet the public's taste.
After all, as mentioned before, the film festival focuses on auteur films, and these films are usually neither salty nor bland.
Bing Hui made the audience feel happy, so the box office naturally couldn't soar.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, sometimes it is a bit risky to use film festival award-winning works as a promotional point. After all, many directors who are direct descendants of film festivals have really shot
A movie that is not for the general public.
The publicity was vigorous, and in the end many people saw the movie as nothing. After watching it, many people were shouted at by the audience that they had been deceived.
Fortunately, Labyrinth is not this kind of scam movie.
His ability to win the award largely relies on its simple background, rounded story structure, and almost all-amateur cast.
Such a model gives the well-informed judges a sense of freshness, which is why many actors often have good acting skills, but those who win awards are often for their debut works.
It's all because of the freshness and the rare sense of surprise. As an actor's performance experience increases, this sense of surprise will become less and less, and it will be harder to win awards.
Maze combines the advantages of all aspects, including new directors, new actors, brand-new themes, and the recommendation of famous directors, so it is naturally easy to stand out.
However, putting aside these off-screen factors, Labyrinth is still a rare movie that can take into account both literary and commercial aspects.
This is not what Wu Di said, it is the fact.
Don’t forget, this is a movie with a very suspenseful atmosphere. For a certain type of movie, such as a suspense movie, as long as the suspense part is done well and some literary and stream-of-consciousness things are added to the suspense, the audience will
acceptable.
Those who can understand it will think that the director is competent, but those who can't understand it can just skip this section.
It's all very easy.
For Maze, this premiere is easy to say but not easy to say.
The easy part is that there are only two of our main attendees, but the difficult part is that there are only two of us.
You have to know that some movie premieres are highlighted by a lively atmosphere, with the main creative staff lining up, either famous directors or big stars.
There were several of them. The media and fans who came to the premiere were worth the money just to see the big stars.
Extremely hot.
But what about our maze?
star?
Wu Di can barely be counted as one, but this is the only one. The remaining actors, who have had many opposite roles with Wu Di, can also be counted as starring actors, and were also invited to the premiere, but they really have nothing to do with big stars.
.
Even after finishing this movie, their rating in the industry has improved, and they will probably have more scripts in the future, but they are still very lacking in reputation.
As for the director, even if he holds the title of Best Director, he is still too young, too inexperienced, and the audience's recognition of him is still too low.
Instead of using Xiao Qi as a selling point, it’s better to use Wu Di as a selling point!
In this way, the two brothers stood on the front stage and faced the public. What kind of feedback will the audience give them?
"Wudi Wu Di, invincible in the world!"
The fans held huge light signs and glow sticks and were widely distributed in the center of the venue, shouting slogans.
And the slogans they said were exactly the same as the big characters on the light signs.
Wu Di already knew that this was the slogan of his fan club, but when he heard it at the scene, he was still a little speechless.
He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, really, it's too vulgar!
Even if he knew that these slogans condensed the love of fans, Wu Di still said, sisters, can't we do something good?
It's really embarrassing.
However, just like Wu Di's own positioning, her fans are mainly composed of young women. Of course, there are also some young men and even old uncles mixed in among them!
As for those who can happily attend the premiere to cheer for Wu Di, no need to think about it, they must be able to mingle with the young sisters.
Several bearded men wearing Maze's eponymous cultural shirts crowded among the ladies and shouted slogans passionately.
When he didn't see them, Wu Di could still hold on. When he saw them, Wu Di immediately became stupid.
Even when the host handed him the microphone, he was stunned for a second.
"Teacher Wu, how would you rate your performance in the movie Labyrinth?" The host, dressed in sky-high clothes, raised his voice, trying to regain Wu Di's attention.
Wu Di quickly said: "From an actor's point of view, I think it's 10 points, because I have tried my best in this movie without any reservations. From a director's point of view, I want to give Director Qi the same
Give it 10 points, because without him, there would be no this movie. Our movie, because it is a suspense movie, focuses on the suspense of the beginning, the transition, and the reversal at the end."
"So, as you can see, the entire direction of our movie is very smooth, and the twist at the end is also very powerful. These are all the work of director Qi."
After saying that, Wu Di looked at Xiao Qi politely. Xiao Qi held the microphone and was so moved that his face turned a little red.
Just as the host was about to answer, Wu Di spoke again.
"But movies are a popular art, and the final score is still in the hands of the audience."
What Wu Di said was almost watertight, and immediately triggered a burst of warm applause and laughter in the audience.
Even Boss Wu admires himself. Since joining the industry, his water-carrying skills have gotten better and better.
"But what I want to say is that the most beautiful scene in our premiere today is our director Qi."
Professional questions such as the film's production process and original intention have been almost answered. Because of Wu Di's fan base, the atmosphere of the entire premiere was quite warm.
The audience's interaction was also very enthusiastic, because there were many enthusiastic female fans present, and Wu Di even sent two warm hugs.
We also accepted flowers from them, and there were small activities one after another, which was quite lively.
However, these alone are far from enough. We also need to dig out some content that is enough for passers-by to talk about.
for example……
Our director Xiao Qi, Wu Di saw his eye-catching suit in a blink of an eye. Such a sexy orange suit. Would it be appropriate if he didn't capitalize it and bold it?
Isn't this a waste of resources?
As soon as he said this, Xiao Qi's face immediately turned red. Visibly, the eyes of the little girls all looked towards him.
The movements are very consistent!
Then, laughter like a roaring tsunami spread!
"You may not know that Director Qi is actually a very casual person in private, and he mainly dresses in a casual style. This time, in order to attend the premiere, he specially designed a look. At first he wanted to wear
Something more low-key.”
Unexpectedly, Wu Di talked a lot, but he explained such a little thing in such detail?
The more he expressed, the darker Xiao Qi's face became, and his expression became distorted. Even the host lady beside him saw some clues and wanted to stop Wu Di. Unfortunately, Boss Wu didn't answer her call at all.
stubble.
"A black or gray suit has been chosen. I suggested that he wear something more beautiful to give everyone a surprise."
"For the sake of the movie, this is all difficult."
“Director Qi’s sacrifice is so great!”
"yes!"
"It's not easy!"
"We must buy two more tickets!"
"How can two tickets be enough? We want to book the venue!"
