It is even very possible that after making a masterpiece, bad luck will linger for three years, and you will never be able to make a movie that is both popular and popular.
I've been on the street like this for a few years. Once I get better inspiration and better shooting conditions, I might be able to make a comeback with a movie!
However, if you want to have such luck and have the capital to withstand the rush, you must have a masterpiece that can withstand the wind and rain.
You have to know that competition in the film directing industry is also very fierce. Many directors can often produce good works and receive good market feedback.
However, once the follow-up works are not well connected, they become short-lived and can no longer meet the broad audience with the works.
This is called the thickness of the work.
If it is thick enough, even if one or two poor movies are made, the audience will treat them with tolerance.
In the minds of the audience, what they remember is the director's past masterpieces, and the filters in those works are still very useful.
But the film is not thick enough, so there is no filter to speak of. Zhang Feng also plans to use this film to expand his popularity.
In the current film industry, there is only one thing that is most important and has the highest value retention, and that is awards!
It can't be an ordinary award, not a watery one.
At least it must be an international Category A film award.
Although it seems to have a big name, in fact, there are quite a lot of types of A-type film festivals. However, depending on their popularity, their influence and recognition in domestic entertainment are also different.
Zhang Feng's current movie can only be said to have such an intention, but whether it can guarantee that it will actually win awards in the end still depends on luck.
Therefore, Director Zhang Da planned to go hand in hand with the filming and promotion of the movie.
On the one hand, it must have a certain style and pursuit of video art, and in terms of subject matter, it must also choose a suspense type that has a certain possibility of winning awards.
On the other hand, even with the box office results, she doesn't intend to let it go.
Once a suspense movie is completed, it will have a certain box office base.
Although the total amount is not too high, compared to the cost, it is quite worthwhile.
This is a rare recipe that offers the best of both worlds!
However, as a suspense film and a rare forensic mystery film, what kind of name could Zhang Feng choose?
After much thought, Zhang Feng still couldn't find inspiration.
Naturally, she will not let go of her best friend, the authentic screenwriter Ms. Mi Li, and of course she will not escape her questioning.
However, Ms. Mi Li's writing skills are acceptable, but she is really not good at naming.
It seems that there is only one person I can rely on!
…………
"Ms. Zhang, you finally remembered me?"
"I'm so touched!"
My girlfriend and soon-to-be wife, who I haven't seen in person day and night for several days, actually came back today before the sun set. With Boss Wu's character, it was impossible not to say a few strange words.
Because he asked for help from others, Zhang Feng's attitude was also very good.
Surprisingly, he didn't get angry or sarcastic.
But the more this happens, the more suspicious it becomes!
Wu Di immediately became more vigilant, his ears and eyes perked up.
"Don't look at me with such an expression. What can I do? Didn't you say that we are in the same boat?"
"How could I do anything against you?"
hehe!
It was easy to say that such a guarantee, even if it came from Wu Di's mouth, he himself would not believe it, let alone if it came from Zhang Feng's mouth.
Impossible!
This woman always only thinks about herself, and her emotions come at random. Wu Di really can't feel her pulse.
What a terrible woman!
However, even if he dodges his words and even puts on a smile, Zhang Feng has already identified him and there is no way he can escape!
"Xiao Feng, what have you been busy with these days?"
"You come back so late every day. Are you tired? Do you want to take a bath? I'll give you water?"
Before Zhang Feng could say anything, Wu Di stood up in secret, trying to please her so that she wouldn't have to talk.
"No."
"As long as you can help, we can wash it together later!"
what?
Wash together?
This woman!
She actually wanted to use a beauty trap to force him to submit!
Look, right in front of Wu Di's eyes, Zhang Feng's beautiful smile is big, very obvious, very cute, and very innocent.
There's even a hint of cunning.
What's happening here?
Why does this expression look so familiar?
Could it be that she was led astray by Han Jingjing?
Or is it just rice grains?
After all, these women are more dangerous than the last!
Xiao Fengfeng hangs out with them every day, there is no way he can learn anything good!
"How about it?"
"You're not so afraid, are you?"
"You know what I'm going to say, and you're so scared. It's a shame that you were bragging before, saying that I'd leave all the promotion of the new movie to you. You're a model husband, and you have no shirk in this kind of thing!"
“Taking it all!”
Forehead……
"It turns out it's just a matter of publicity. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Boss Wu finally felt relieved.
"I thought……"
"What else do you think?"
"Can I still sell you?"
"No, no, what's the point of selling me? I'm worthless." Since he knew the general situation, Boss Wu's sense of humor came online again.
Even more humble.
"Who said it's useless?"
"Our boss Wu is now a famous star all over the country. Not to mention selling it, he can make a lot of money just by selling your photos and videos!"
"Those fans of yours are waiting for food!"
Zhang Feng pinched his fingers and made some calculations.
"Taking all of this into account, I can make a lot of money even if I don't make movies. Boss Wu, you have to work hard!"
"The more popular you are, the more I will earn. Why don't I be your agent? I think that Da Fei is not that professional and won't be able to get you any good resources at all."
"It's better to let me come, and the wealth will not flow to outsiders."
"Sister, I have changed my agent, don't you know? I don't need your help anymore."
"Yeah?"
"Has someone been replaced?"
Looking at Zhang Feng's confused eyes, Wu Di was speechless and choked up. No way, doesn't she run to the company every day?
You don’t even know about such a big thing?
"The girl who is leading the marketing team now, her name is Simple, is my new agent. Her business ability is very strong!"
"You should have seen it too!"
"It's her..."
Speaking of this person, Zhang Feng was indeed impressed, and the impression was extremely profound, mainly because his appearance was so distinctive.
No wonder Zhang Feng went to the company several times to inspect and she was very active in chatting with her. Zhang Feng also fell into a misunderstanding. Unexpectedly, Wu Di changed his agent.
"I thought it was Yuan Dafei all along!"
"I also thought it was strange that you weren't anxious at all when his abilities were so bad. He was really able to keep his composure."
"I see."
"Okay! I'm relieved now!"
"Let's talk business!"
Anything else?
Why did Wu Di interrupt her for so long and she still remembered? Boss Wu said he was very disappointed. It was a waste of a ton of spit.
Then say it!
You can also block your ears.
Regarding Zhang Feng's new movie, as long as it's not about money, everything is a trivial matter, not to mention that money matters have long since ceased to matter.
Haven’t the publicity tasks been handed over to Wu Di?
Doesn’t that mean that he needs to bear part of the subsequent funds?
"Little Didi, please help me think about it. What kind of name can I give my new movie to be a blockbuster?"
Is Yiming even more amazing?
Wu Di was dumbfounded.
"How can I do this for you?"
"You made the movie, and you are the most familiar with the plot. Besides, what kind of emotion a movie wants to express still depends on your ideas."
"How could you listen to me?"
"I have no experience in this area, so I can't harm you."
Wu Di waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to take on this matter even to death, but Zhang Feng ignored him at all.
Still stubbornly pulling Wu Di: "If you don't care, who cares?"
"Aren't you very smart? You are knowledgeable, and you have well-selling works. I think you have a bit of luck."
"Maybe if you help me choose a name, maybe I'll be a hit!"
Is there still such a brain circuit?
All I can say is that in order to achieve his goal, Director Zhang Da can say anything!
"All right!"
"Since you trust me so much, I can't keep denying you face. As for the name, since it is a forensic reasoning and a suspense movie, it must have a loud name, so that the audience will know that this movie is
what type."
"And it's very attractive, allowing them to take the initiative to pay attention and be interested in trying to watch movies."
"Xiao Fengfeng, I have also considered your current situation for you. Although you have hit movies now, in general, the audience does not quite recognize your appeal."
"For example, if I see your name in the director column, I will probably be interested and give you a chance to try it out."
"But to say that when I saw your name, I rushed into the movie theater to support you without thinking, you have not reached such a height."
"So, you are right to choose Sisi to star in this movie. You must have an idol who is popular enough to increase the audience's attention to your work."
"Now, although the investment in this movie is not as high as a new skin, it has popular stars, great actors, and reliable screenwriters, who can guarantee the quality of the work and the smoothness of the story."
"It can almost be said that even though it is a small sparrow, it has all the internal organs."
"Having said so much, it's time to talk about the shortcomings!"
"Say it quickly!"
Zhang Feng's tone was fierce. Wu Di had no intention of talking about his shortcomings, but she still forced him to talk about his shortcomings. This seemed to be a way of expressing obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"I can't tell you the shortcomings at the moment, and I haven't seen the finished film, but you can even make a movie like Skin Change that doesn't have a complicated story. The basic quality of a movie with a solid script like this is probably not
What's the problem?"
"How about you let me see the samples first?"
Rubbing his hands like big flies, to be honest, Wu Di was quite looking forward to it. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen this movie in his previous life, but now the protagonist and director were changed.
Wu Di never delved into this issue, and he couldn't figure out where Zhang Feng got the script.
In other words, he doesn't want to figure it out at all. This is a parallel time and space. He just needs to steadily advance all the events he can access.
As for the direction of history and the butterfly effect, who cares about such things?
It's all insignificant things.
"Forget it if you don't show me."
Seeing Zhang Feng's hesitation and refusal to reveal it, Wu Di also understood that she would not be willing to take it out.
Whatever!
We are decent people, so if you don’t want to show it, don’t show it!
Just because she doesn't show it, we can't stop providing her with inspiration.
"Then I'll just pick one randomly based on my feeling. It's up to you whether it works or not. I can't guarantee that I will be successful in getting the name."
He had already given up hope. As soon as he heard this, Zhang Feng immediately became energetic: "It doesn't matter, just say it!"
"What do you think of calling it manslaughter?"
Manslaughter?
Manslaughter!
Zhang Fengteng suddenly jumped up and walked around the room.
What's happening here?
Aren’t you crazy?
Wu Di fell into confusion, but Zhang Feng, who was spinning around in front of him, seemed to have lost consciousness and had fallen into a state of being as if no one else was around!
OK!
Very good!
Such a great name, why didn’t I think of it?
"Little Didi, you are really amazing!"
"How did you come up with such an appropriate name?"
Zhang Feng desperately patted Wu Di on the shoulder, and little Didi almost fell apart. This was all the inspiration of the time traveler. How could you have thought of it?
Even though Wu Di has never seen Zhang Feng's finished film, he has seen similar types of movies. Judging from Zhang Feng's excited look, it can be inferred that the core of the story should not have changed.
Then, the name Manslaughter is appropriate.
It has a sense of suspense and some tension and excitement. The key is that the audience can tell at a glance that this is a suspense film.
You know, this kind of exciting feeling is extremely needed for this movie.
As a courtroom mystery movie, in terms of violence, gore, and tension, it can never be compared with that kind of immersive suspense movie.
After all, court debates take up a lot of space.
In this way, in the eyes of suspense film lovers who are looking for tension and excitement, the conflicts may not be so intense.
As a film title, what we have to do is to attract as many potential audiences into the cinema as possible. We cannot have a situation where we obviously have a very good film but lose the audience because the title is not attractive enough.
.
And Manslaughter is obviously a very eye-catching title.
The coverage is relatively broad, the number of words is small, concise, and most importantly, it fits the core of the story relatively well.
Wu Di clapped his hands with satisfaction. This time, he finally made some contribution!
In the short term, no one will harass him anymore!
Come on...
Bar……
…………
"Xiao Wu, you've been quite free lately. Haven't you started filming your new movie yet?"
"Still don't have a suitable script?"
The moment Wu Di saw Lao Zhang's figure, he knew that he was overthinking again.
