Five hundred and ninetieth chapters make a platform
Chapter 597 of the Full Level Director Text Volume: Being a platform director is a profession. Although it is an art, what industry or industry is not affected by capital? In other words, in today's era, capital, interests,
Only then can you measure your value.
You said that you make literary films and look down on commercial directors. Your literary and artistic standards are very high, and the films you make have great reviews. Okay, but where is the money? Where is the box office?
No box office? That’s not good! Otherwise, why wouldn’t anyone buy it? There’s such a huge market out there, and if no one buys it, why should we say it’s good?
Cameron's movie has a box office of billions of dollars, and he is the king of the world! Now Lin Jian's combined box office is close to 20 billion US dollars, and he is the most watched director in the world. It is that simple, but such a benchmark is set here
, among these domestic directors, which one doesn’t want to prove that he can surpass him? Who is not a little bit competitive?
In the past, it could be said that Hollywood was well-developed and started early, and we couldn't compare with it. Now that Lin Jian comes out, what excuses are there? The vast market has also opened up. I admire it. In such a big era, who doesn't want to be coquettish? Yes.
How can a man admit defeat? Especially those guys who have been around for a long time, how can they not be arrogant in their hearts?
"Director Lin, come here, let me toast you. I really admire you. Director Lin is indispensable for the good situation of domestic films."
At the wine table, bald Xu Zheng held up his glass and looked at Lin Juan with a look of admiration on his face. He really admired him, and the figure of 20 billion US dollars was really powerless, but for this film, he felt inferior.
He is also a man who has been China's box office champion and set records. He is even competitive and wants to make a movie that will break the box office record of Lin Juan's "The Alliance".
This kind of passion with opponents and goals is what makes people excited.
Lin Juan picked up the juice and said with a smile, "Forgive me."
He said he couldn't drink from the beginning, and almost everyone in the circle knew it, so no one forced him.
After drinking for three rounds, Huang Bo took the lead in talking about the topic and said with a smile: "As a representative at this summit, I really don't know what to say. The country is preparing to further standardize the film and television industry based on the situation. Director Lin, are you ready?"
Any suggestions?"
This is also one of the reasons why they asked Lin Juan out. Whether he admits it or not, Lin Juan is already the most influential person in the Chinese film industry. He doesn't need to be gregarious because everyone is watching his every move and learning from him.
Close to each other, it may not be the leader, but its weight is definitely not light.
They also wanted to find out what Lin Juan planned to say at the summit. His words must carry a lot of weight.
Following Huang Bo's inquiry, the private room suddenly became quiet. Ning Hao and Xu Zheng also looked at Lin Juan. Facing the gazes of the three of them, Lin Juan pondered for a moment and said, "I have some ideas, I don't know if they fit in."
suitable."
"Hey, we're just here to give our opinions. Whether it's suitable or not is for the higher-ups to consider, right? Director Lin, just say it. We're also helping to provide advice, and the three cobblers will decide on Zhuge Liang, right?" Huang Bo laughed.
He said, no matter what, he was angry when he said this
The atmosphere became more lively, and Ning Hao and two others also agreed. Lin Juan no longer hesitated and said with a smile: "That's right, I think there are many places where the connection is not smooth in our country's film industry, the most important of which is
One link is the script."
As soon as Lin Juan finished speaking, everyone present suddenly became thoughtful. These three people were all directors, so of course they would have some ideas about this. After Lin Juan's words, they had some vague concepts.
"That's right. When we are filming, we first need to have a good script." Xu Zheng agreed, and Ning Hao nodded and said, "This is so right. Sometimes I can't find a satisfactory script for several years."
This is not an isolated phenomenon. Many directors often go silent for several years. It is not for other reasons but because they cannot find a satisfactory script. In the end, they often choose a script that is not so disappointing just to make a living. Why do many directors
Are you saying that your lifetime masterpieces are only one or two movies?
It’s a script! And a good script will make the director put his heart and soul into it. Even a script that is purely about work will put his heart and soul into it, but the feeling is different. When dating, girls will also decide the degree of makeup based on the appearance of the person they are dating.
, right? That’s what it means.
"Director Lin, what are you going to do? There's nothing you can do about the script." Xu Zheng also asked.
Directors in the industry either receive scripts from companies, or ask familiar screenwriters to write scripts for them. The sources of scripts are limited.
"This has to be solved from two aspects. First, the country must relax some review standards, otherwise anything you write will be rejected. Second, this may require companies and directors in the industry.
They come forward."
"You may also know the way screenwriters live. First of all, they have low status and meager income. Secondly, the entry threshold is still high. Some excellent screenwriters cannot freely express their ideas at all, and what they write may be criticized by their mentors or
It was the superiors or someone who had infringed the copyright, and the new screenwriters had no channel to get their works into the hands of those who needed them." Lin Juan asked a number of more realistic questions in succession, and the three of them nodded while thinking.
In fact, what Lin Juan said is not complicated. Almost everyone in the industry knows it, but so what? They have never discussed these issues before, and they have not even thought deeply about screenwriting issues.
They thought about it, but they just thought about it, sighed and then forgot about it. What else could they do? They all have a lot of problems themselves.
But now that Lin Juan has spoken out about this problem, it means that he is prepared to solve this problem. This is the most important thing.
"I don't believe that in a country as big as ours, with so many people, there are no good screenwriters. It's just like online writing. Why is it developing so well? It's because the threshold is low and what you write directly faces the public. If you write well, you will have a way out.
Countless ideas collide, golden ideas emerge one after another, time travel, rebirth, oriental fantasy, and immortality. These elements are all used by our film and television industry in recent years. Internet writers have replaced screenwriters and become the backbone of the film and television industry, so we need to build a
Directors have direct access to excellent scripts.”
"Internet writing has its limitations. It can be adapted into a TV series, but there are too few that are suitable for movies."
It was reasonable and well-founded. What Lin Juan said was quite convincing to the three of them. Think about it, if restrictions were relaxed in this regard, how many elements of the land of China would be able to be made into a movie? Let go of the restrictions of imagination and provide direct access to the producer.
channel, how many outstanding works will emerge by then?
Ning Hao couldn't help but asked solemnly: "What are you going to do? You tell me, and if you think it's appropriate, we will help you talk about it then."
Lin Juan looked at the three of them and said solemnly: "We will come forward and cooperate with the authorities to create a screenwriting platform only for people in the industry."
