What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 259 The Path of the Master
The reality gave Vice President Liu a better choice than in another world, but Yang Shu didn't agree.

"The Three-Body Problem will take more than a month to finish. Let me come up with a story first and then we can decide."

Vice President Liu was tired of being fooled, and he hoped to have a definite answer: "I believe Director Yang's screenwriting ability will definitely be able to write a good story. There are many classic battles to resist US aggression and aid Korea. It is no problem to shoot anything. Shangganling, Sansuoli, Songgu Peak, Changjin Lake, etc. can be photographed.”

Generally speaking, Yang Shu took over this job. This is a work commemorating history, and it does not require free play. It is not difficult to write a script in it.

Before he even stepped out of China Film, he had already decided what kind of story to shoot.

There are already classics in Shangganling, so there is no need to feel uncomfortable and have to shoot a version to challenge.

The stories of Sansuoli and Songgufeng are very exciting, but they are not as famous as Changjin Lake.

Changjin Lake was not well-known to the audience before, but after several years of continuous skipping publicity, it has already gained a certain reputation. Of course, this film will save some publicity fees.

It doesn't really matter what kind of story it is.

It turns out that there is a story in "Changjin Lake" filmed by Brother Kai and Xu Ke?
It seems to be there and it seems not to be. The reason for saying no is that it mainly talks about the experience of a group of characters in historical events.

The so-called story is that the hero goes home to visit his parents and younger brother, and then his younger brother joins the army to grow up.

In Yang Shu's view, the part without a story is the most touching part, and the so-called growth story is the biggest flaw in that movie.

The role of parents is like a background, numb and stupid, dispensable, the younger brother joins the army and directly joins the company where the elder brother is, and the traces of imposition are also very obvious.

Then he grew from an undisciplined teenager to a mature soldier. The story is too old-fashioned, and I don't understand why growth must be described as transformation.

The audience does not need to receive passive education all the time. There is no task for everyone to write after watching the movie. In fact, in the big historical environment, as long as each character in the movie is well shaped and the experience on the battlefield is described wonderfully enough up.

Liu Man could see that Yang Shu was not very enthusiastic about this project, so he suggested after he came out of China Film: "You are already busy enough with "Three-Body Problem", or I organize people to write the script, this kind of theme gift film may not be your specialty Yes, leave it to screenwriters who have been trained in this kind of writing."

Yang Shu refused: "No, I still prefer to film the stories I made up."

Writing your own screenplay is more free, and you can infinitely adjust and polish the plot, which is the joy of creation.

From an artist's point of view, Yang Shu started filming "The Three-Body Problem" just to present other people's works in film and television. This is a job, not a creation with much value.

Therefore, it may be difficult for a director who does not know how to write a screenplay to become a master. This can also understand why big directors like Yimou and Kai Ge insist on getting involved in the screenwriting work after they become famous. Three kilometers.

Yang Shu wrote, directed and acted by himself. There is no such thing as the last three kilometers, because he is still far away from becoming a master, and it is more than three kilometers.

If the target is a film master, he has even gone the wrong way, and has been on the road of business for too long, and the opposite is the opposite.

Even Niangniang and Tianxian thought that he wasted his talent and could have been given a higher position in the film and television industry, not just a box office director.

However, as Sister Tao said, everyone has to respect the original decision. What kind of seeds are planted will yield what results. One is good and the other is not good.

Destiny is not a script, it can be modified arbitrarily, Yang Shu has had the opportunity to rewrite, and now there are many things that are dissatisfied, but there is nothing he can do, or he is unwilling to correct.

The four days of returning to the capital are full of work schedules. I worked on "I am an art candidate" for two consecutive days on Sunday and Monday. The students were selected and divided into groups. On Tuesday, I had to rush back to the crew to continue filming on location.

However, the team going back will be very large. After 20 students are selected and divided into groups, the first stage of training is not to attend classes or go to the crew of their respective counselors for internships, but to start under the leadership of Sister Tao and Jiang Shiyu. Dang first went to the crew of the four counselors to go around and observe.

Of course, this is for the effect of the program, and at the same time to promote the four works. This is an agreement with the counselors, so these contents should be presented from the beginning.

In addition, it is also necessary to do so from the perspective of economic interests.

As soon as the program's approval was announced, various advertising sponsorships flooded in. If all endorsements were made, the value would be hundreds of millions.

However, it is impossible to endorse all of them, and the program cannot become a container for advertisements. Besides, some advertisements also have requirements. For example, the running man that Brother Chao participated in was broadcast under the exclusive name of a certain milk, so that milk is everywhere, and even he is on camera from time to time. Drink two sips of milk before.

Yangshu also does not allow this program involving exams to be too commercialized, and product advertisements are not allowed to appear in the footage of student training and selection.

This sister Tao strongly resisted at the beginning: "We are a variety show. Even if you pretend to be a training program, it is still entertainment. No commercials are allowed in the show. Let's go drink Northwest Wind?"

Drinking Northwest Wind is of course not enough. Advertising is not the only source of income, but it is difficult to give up such a large number, so Yang Shu thought of a way to put a large number of advertisements in the few episodes of the students' next crew, which can reduce the negative perception. drop to lowest.

For example, during the training process, I never saw the students drinking a certain brand of iced black tea, but when the crew Chaoge was drinking it, Yu Hewei was also drinking it. Is there anything wrong with that?
And when I went to the "Shanhe" crew of Sister Qin and his wife, I could see old instant noodles everywhere in the room, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with "I am an art candidate".

As for Zhou Xun asking Sister Tao if she would like to spend two yuan of Yida, it seems that it is not a big problem.

However, there are some places that are not easy to cause controversy, and the advertisements are also inserted. For example, Sister Tao, Liu Man, and Jiang Shiyu went to several constituencies to shoot audition materials. They used Cadillac off-road vehicles throughout the process, which was also provided by the sponsors. of.

Sister Tao is the spokesperson of Porsche, so this is a bit subtle, but because it is an advertisement of the program group and not her own, the brand side also understands.

Porsche also intends to sponsor, but the brand is too tall and inappropriate. Choosing Cadillac feels less arrogant, and the money given is more than other car manufacturers.

However, this advertising revenue is not unique to the program. Variety shows are broadcast simultaneously on TV stations and platforms. Everyone relies on advertising to make money, so it is customary to share it with the broadcaster.

Conversely, the greater the value of the advertisements that come with the program, the more popular the TV station and platform will be.

The culture test of the students does not have as many subjects as the college entrance examination, and the scope of the test is different. It is a paper given by the professor of Chinese opera, and the test is about general knowledge.

The exam was supervised by the notary office, and the results were announced. Sister Tao said that many parents packed their bags and left right away.

Zhuang Zhuqing ranked first, Yang Shu was not surprised at all.

In the morning of the second day, the professional examination began, and the last 20 students were selected, and all counselors were present as judges.

The selection is open and transparent. 100 students gathered in the banquet hall of the hotel, sitting in a large classroom like an open class, excited and looking forward to it.
