This director is very reliable

Chapter 730 Not Optimistic (15)

"Human Movie Cannon" was later called "Human Movie", maybe the word 'cannon' makes people have bad associations...

It is a program made by a group of film critics. The hosts include Mei Xuefeng, Xu Yuan, Sairen, etc. It was once known as the interview show in the film circle with "the host with the lowest appearance".

In fact, talking about movies with film critics is quite boring...

The questions they ask are either too professional or too superficial, and... "Human Movie Cannon" has a terrible low click rate.

Shen Changlin still respects professional film critics.

Even if sometimes they don't agree with their views, but in most cases, the movies they approve still have certain value...

For example, Edward Yang’s films, if you savor them carefully, they really feel like the works of masters...

The premise is to be savored, and this premise has held back many viewers - his films are really hard to watch!

An important duty of foreign film critics is to use their influence to discover new directors, as well as those buried films.

Domestic film critics…

It's embarrassing, serious film critics don't have a platform to write some serious film reviews, everything depends on traffic.

Under the guidance of Internet traffic is king, the once serious movie reviews have also become web articles with rich pictures and texts, because many WeChat accounts have also raised funds...

Only when the power of film criticism returns to the essence of film criticism can it exude its greatest power.

Trying to use film criticism to accomplish something it shouldn't, such as applause and interests, such as greed and ambition, will complicate the review.

The public accounts are well versed in the way of rubbing the heat. First of all, they have preset prejudices against the movie, and they can always avoid the good part of the movie sideways, but grab the weak part.

This weak part, often becomes the whole of the review...

——Many film critics and audiences just want to see the movie they imagined. Once they see something different from their imagination or expectations, they will give the movie the title of "bad movie".

This kind of comment does not require a deep understanding of film history, or even an opinion, and does not need to describe, analyze, interpret, and evaluate these four actions. These are too brain-intensive. It only needs to grasp the emotions of the public and use Movie screenshots detonate emotions, as long as enough people agree with this emotion, the circle of friends can refresh the screen.

On the contrary, articles with a little point of view are too academic, too rational, and too in-depth, so they will not become popular.

The publicity expenses of "The Emancipator 2" basically accounted for 30% or more of the investment, and part of it was used to buy marketing drafts...

These marketing drafts will say that the movie is not good?
Are they still eating?

At the end of the interview, the host asked Shen Changlin: "What do you think is the most important thing for a movie?"

"I think the most important thing in a movie is the story..."

Shen Changlin is very sure: "Literature has literary responsibilities, and movies are the same. Captivating the audience with pictures and sounds is the original purpose of movies. Stories are the way to keep people from falling asleep while watching movies."

"What annoys me the most is that when a commercial film is made, the director himself goes around the platform, and each platform spends money to buy trolls and advertises. In the end, you can't tell a story-I didn't tell you Tell a good story—what’s the use of just talking about your feelings here?”

"Shakespeare said that the most important thing in drama is structure!"

"But that's Shakespeare, and he can write a good story, can you?"

The host asked the last question: "Then why can't most movies on the market even tell a good story?"

Shen Changlin was delighted: "For the market, the most important thing is not the story, not the sound effect, picture, special effect, or even the movie, but the money! A project that can make money is a good project worth investing in!"

……

"The movie version of Condor God? I really don't know... But Xu Ke still has two movies to shoot, "Nine-story Demon Tower" and "Captain Touching Gold", as well as the "Di Renjie" series. There is "Famen Temple Code"... I really don't know what new project..."

"Okay, let me ask for you."

Shen Changlin was a little surprised when he received a call from Sissi, but he heard the news about the adaptation of the film version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes"...

It's a little tricky!

Because the right to adapt is actually in the hands of Yiyi Media, Yiyi Media and Shen Changlin are not very close.

The investor of "Macao Wind and Cloud 3" which he dismantled in public has Yiyi Media. Not only that, Shen Changlin publicly stated that "IP can only be effective in the hands of professionals. It doesn't mean that with IP, there will be follow-up everything." ! '

Then... the most powerful and most eye-catching part of Yiyi Media-created a new way of playing in the film and television industry: IP Bank! ,

And then... development ends in 2019...

It's normal. By 2019, the film and television industry is no longer a hot industry. After the glitz, it will be dull after all!
Now that it is no longer popular, it is understandable that film and television companies that rely on piles of money to continue to develop have stagnated.

Unless Shen Changlin co-produces—that is, paying for it.

Forget it, Shen Changlin himself has no expectations for "The Legend of Condor Heroes"!

In the past ten years, Xu Ke's martial arts movies seem to lack the taste of the past. Whether it is "The Sword of the Three Young Masters" he participated in the screenwriting or "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" directed by him, the results and reputation are not high...

Why did Jin Yong agree with Xu Ke to make "The Condor"?
Everyone in the industry has heard that Jin Yong doesn't like Xu Ke and Wang Jiawei, because the two adapted his martial arts novels, not only not being faithful to the original, but also completely unconstrained, writing whatever he wants...

The reason for the change in attitude is very simple: after watching Xu Ke's adaptation of "Take the Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", Mr. Jin Yong felt that it was a good change!

But how Xu Ke wants to change, no one knows, maybe 'Diao' becomes the protagonist?

There is only one logic of success for the film adaptation of Jin Yong's novels, which is to allow movie viewers to see the film before understanding Jin Yong's story.

Otherwise, no matter how high-quality the movie is, as long as it is linked to Jin Yong's story, it will most likely be sprayed.

Unfortunately, that era is over!
Several popular novels, Trilogy, Tianlong, Xiaoao, Luding, the general content is well known to passers-by.Unpopular book swords, blue blood, flying fox, knights, etc., even passers-by are not interested in taking pictures. Those who can pay attention are the original book party and martial arts fans, that is, the group of people who are still familiar with the story.

If it is made into a TV series, you can also learn from the 17th version of the new Condor Shooting, honestly filming according to the original work, and the reputation can be stabilized.Even so, there was a lot of scolding when the new Condor Shooting first came out.When it is made into a movie, it is bound to be deleted or changed, either completely unrecognizable or incomplete.

Unrecognizable, incomplete, is there a good reputation? Yes, the batch shot in Hong Kong in the last century. Two "Swordsman", two "Deer and Ding", "Tianlong: Tianshan Child Elder", "The Demon Sect Leader Who Relying on Heaven", "Evil and West Poison"...

The quality of the movie was good, and the environment at the time was also good. Most of the current main crowd on the Internet were not familiar with Jin Yong’s story when they watched these movies before. The content is OK, even if it is far from Jin Yong's story, or even has nothing to do with it, movie viewers can accept it.

But to say that the audience who are familiar with Jin Yong's story can accept the setting of the adaptation of the same level as the old Hong Kong film, it is probably impossible!

He didn't take this matter to heart. In fact, Liu Qianqian just asked casually. She didn't have the heart to eat this thing...

The filming of "The Legend of Chu Qiao" was quite hard work. Liu Qianqian said that she has no professional attitude. It is necessary to do it by yourself. In Xiangshan in July, the surface temperature is close to 40°C. It is already very good to be able to guarantee that you will not faint on the set.

But her agent is different!

Asking for news everywhere, vowing to grab the "Sculpture of God" pie...
