This director is very reliable

Chapter 822 It's okay to start a career, but you can't mess around! (33)

Miss Mi is very smart!
Even if she is not smart, her man is smart enough.

Shen Changlin told her at the beginning of last year, "Be prepared for transformation, you are already 30, and you should say goodbye to the Mary Su drama"...

She took it to heart.

But it's a little awkward to execute...

First, the team analyzed her strengths and weaknesses.

Advantages: top traffic, No. 80 commercial value of post-[-]s, queen of idol dramas, endorsement by the public, and five major magazines of fashion magazines;
Disadvantages: Lack of film masterpieces, no support from authoritative awards...

The representative works here refer to works with both commercial value and artistic value, such as "Li Mi's Conjecture" and the like.

That would be easy, just find a great director of literary and artistic films, make a literary and artistic film, and prove your acting skills!
Authoritative film awards basically rely on literary and artistic films, which are also a demon mirror to test an actor's acting skills.

Here comes the problem, directors of literary and artistic films generally have their own basic board, either they are employed by the queen, or the first-line celebrities lower their salaries-Tang Wei starred in "The Last Night on Earth" at a low price, or, there are special literary and artistic cafes, Hao Lei, Tan Zhuo or Huang Lu...

Moreover, it’s not that you can win an award just by making a literary film. Those who can hit every shot are either a well-accumulated acting school or a genius.

Want to win an authoritative award without acting skills?
Unless, you have a network of people who spend money to buy it, and then you are ridiculed by the crowd-Gwyneth Paltrow, the queen of water.

Now there is a serious shortage of scripts in the country, and there are fewer and fewer good literary films.

difficult!
Yang Xiaomi's team does not have this ability.

Otherwise, she will definitely not be allowed to receive the Houston best actress, let alone make a big publicity...

……

Whether you agree with it or not, the box office is the GDP of the Chinese film market.

For the relatively more special mainland film market, the box office is even more an indicator, a political achievement, a face, and a real benefit.

At the beginning of the year, someone predicted that this year's total box office will start at 600 billion!
In fact, judging from the general trend, this judgment is very accurate...

The Chinese film market is in an era of frantic box office. For the Chinese film market, which is growing at a high speed of at least 25% every year, last year it was 525 billion, and this year it will exceed 600 billion. There is nothing wrong with it!
However, the cold reality has poured a basin of cold water on Chinese filmmakers. Based on the current average number of screens of Chinese films that are increasing rapidly every day, behind the annual box office of 534 billion is the counter-trend of box office growth.

Mainland audiences who were once known as "people who are stupid and have a lot of money" have finally opened their eyes after being devastated by domestic bad movies. The producers want to collect money from the audience's pockets, so they must improve the quality of the movie...

And this year happens to be a year when the overall domestic films show a decline, but the good news is that the days when the film studios want to make money with bad films are over!

Which company has never produced a bad movie?
Changlin Film and Television!

Or a project related to Shen Changlin...

Yang Xiaomi specially made an appointment with Shi Shi and Shen Changlin this time for two purposes. The first is to let him watch a project and let him judge whether it is reliable, and the other is...she wants to star in "The God of Medicine"...

The first project is "Baby", a work directed by Liu Jie.

Liu Jie is an all-round talent who can also be a screenwriter, director, photographer, and producer.

He worked as a photographer and director of photography for Wang Xiaoshuai's many films, such as "17 years old bicycle" and "Winter and Spring Days". Later, he became a director himself. Yes, for example, "The Court on Horseback", "Biluo Snow Mountain", "De Lan"...

"Baby", produced by Hou Xiaoxian, won the work of Golden Horse Venture Capital!

The story goes like this: a severely handicapped foundling tries to save a handicapped baby whose parents have condemned him to death...

Shi Shi asked first: "What is your personality?"

"The one who stole the child..."

"Why steal?"

"If you don't steal it, the child will be abandoned... The director is just an idea, and the script is still being written!"

"Then...the audience won't be able to empathize."

"Literary and artistic films, they must be very small." Yang Xiaomi's "Desolate City" gave an example: "The box office of "Desolate City" is only 1.6 million..."

Shi Shi looked at Shen Changlin, who spoke slowly, ""Desolate City Chronicle" is about the Republic of China, and it tells about bad things. It's normal for the audience not to be interested, but the reputation of this kind of theme is definitely not bad... The story you tell, I don't like it!"

"Not optimistic? Why?"

"If I were to do this subject, I would focus on the parents who abandoned their babies. It is far more impressive to describe why parents give up than to describe why you steal!"

"Director Liu Jie said that I am the number one female... The whole play revolves around me."

Shi Shi nodded: "Where's the script? Let me see!"

"There is only one concept. The main story line has been determined. How to shoot it has to be polished on the spot..."

"Ok?"

"But he has long wanted to shoot the speech..."

Already wanted to shoot?
Then no time to write a screenplay?
Isn't this a contradiction?

Shi Shi rolled his eyes: "Don't pay attention to him, just ask him if he has a complete script... It's his honor to star in his movie with your popularity!"

"...But this is a Golden Horse venture capital project..."

"So what about the Golden Horse? Even if you won the Golden Horse Award, so what? Those who don't like you still don't like you... Let me tell you that times have changed... How do you say that?"

Shi Shi looked at Shen Changlin, who thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you trying to say that the way of judging stars has changed?"

"Correct!"

Shi Shi continued: "In the past few years, I have clearly felt the impact of the Internet on the entertainment industry. In the current era, traffic comes first. As long as you have traffic, no matter how trashy your acting skills are, there will be a market. It doesn't really make sense for you to struggle with acting skills, even if your acting skills are paralyzed. , and the fact that you are a representative figure of a generation of female stars cannot be denied!"

"What nonsense?"

Talking nonsense...

Shen Changlin hurriedly interjected: "Actually, the environment has changed. In the past, all kinds of resources were controlled by small inner circles such as film studios, TV stations, and well-known directors. If you want to be famous, it's very simple. You are attracted by a certain director or a certain unit. High praise, the actors will soon make their debut.

At that time, actors only needed to work hard on maintaining contacts and filming with heart. At that time, actors did not make much money filming, and it was more cost-effective for actresses to find opportunities to marry when they were young. "

"It's different now. Actors earn more, and more importantly, the control of resources has become a pile of capital from a small circle. It is the nature of capital to seek profit. Therefore, you don't need to toss yourself for the so-called acting school, it is meaningless! "

"Then what should I do?"

"...acting in more commercial films... It's a good idea to start a career, but you can't mess around, you are blind... By the way, this year...it should be why didn't you have any work released last year?"
