The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 172 I'm Not the Director You Think
Wang Wei realized that he had underestimated the crowd's resistance to him making a spoof comedy.

It wasn't even an outsider, but a member of the director's team. Wang Wei was surprised and speechless at the extent of his grief.

In the words of Zhou Lin, the art director of Dunhuang and Wang Wei's royal photographer, "It's like a world-class master director who went to shoot a small movie about shit, shit, fart, pornography - well, you can't be called a master, this one Movies aren't that cheesy either, but it's unimaginable, you know..."

They all wanted to knock open the director's head to see what was going on inside.

In theory, isn't the more expert you are, the more cautious you should be in your shots?

This guy is just the opposite, the more famous he is, the more he likes to "let himself go".

Just looking at their reactions, Wang Wei can imagine the critique of the new film by professionals and even a considerable part of the public.

Therefore, he listened quietly to the opposition, as if going through a social experiment.

After they finished speaking, Wang Wei slowly opened his mouth——

"What should 'Director Wang Wei' look like?"

"What kind of 'Director Wang Wei' should be done in the eyes of the audience to be worthy of this title?"

"Do you want to be known as the successor of a certain great director, and then shoot a series of master-level works that will become famous in the film industry, and even become a popular legend for generations?"

Even though they knew that Wang Wei was talking ironically, Zhou Lin and the others still nodded—it is no exaggeration to say that this is exactly what most people expect from him, a director who has repeatedly created miracles.

Wang Wei shook his head and said seriously——

"I think everyone has misunderstood me, I am not the director you think!"

"In order to show the so-called force, I will not be trapped in a framework such as 'master director' or 'international director' according to the definition given to me by the public;"

"I will not keep my eyes upwards forever, staring at the top of the peak out of scruples about the public opinion environment; I may climb to a certain height, go down the mountain, and climb another mountain to see another scenery;"

"I won't just shoot one or two familiar movie genres, in fact, I really plan to try all genres-comedy, song and dance, war and even documentaries... This time I really didn't lie!"

Zhou Lin and the others have been Wang Wei's partners since he entered the industry. If there is no accident, they will continue to work together for a long time.

Therefore, although he himself feels that some of the ideas formed in the past few years of experience and thinking are not complete, Wang Wei still took this opportunity to speak out frankly.

As far as Wang Wei personally judges, he believes that people like Xiaozhen are the real geniuses; and "pseudo-geniuses" like him who have life experience, knowledge, and vision ahead of this era. , In fact, it is essentially just the capital of the middleman.

"The capital of the middle man" may not be unable to evolve into a real "capital of genius", after all, he has such a good advantage--

Unlike many directors who are already good enough to make one type of film in their lifetime, Wang Wei has the capital to try all types of films.

Trying is not for "copying", but for always absorbing new things like a sponge, until you get a thorough understanding, and finally you can come up with your own work.

As the saying goes, copying for a while is cool for a while, copying all the time...it won't be cool all the time!

The premise is to have the courage to "deny" yourself and "change the mountain".

Therefore, Wang Wei will not be like what the public thinks - he has become famous and stands at a certain height, and he should not return to "vulgar" comedies.

His thinking was, if there was something he could learn from making this film, why not?
If you think "vulgar"... that's your definition of "vulgar", go ahead.

——Of course this is a very rebellious idea, Zhou Lin and the others were also dumbfounded!

They looked at each other and couldn't help sighing.

I thought this guy was enough to toss around, but I didn't expect him to say that in the future, "life will not stop, toss endlessly"!
It's really tiring to have such a boss on the stall.

Continue to persuade?

After they looked at each other, they fell silent in unison.

Cognition is different from person to person.

Wang Wei felt that he was just a middle-of-the-road talent, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was a talented genius.

Genius is admirable and desirable, but it is also very helpless.

Because geniuses are often paranoid.

Paranoia is good, and paranoia is bad.

Going in the right direction, this kind of paranoia can make any impossible possible; but if you go in the wrong direction, even if they are bloody, paranoid they are rarely willing to stop.

As for whether Wang Wei's current direction is right or wrong...

Please, they are not geniuses, how can they understand the world of geniuses?
Uh, no, there's another genius on the scene.

They involuntarily moved their eyes to Shen Zhenyi who came over to listen, but kept silent, listening and thinking all the time.

However, seeing this little girl looking at Wang Wei's bright eyes, they covered their foreheads.

really……

"Refused to be defined, it's cool and crazy, but..." She raised her head slightly, and said softly, "Following you... There is only one way to go to the dark."

Wang Wei couldn't help being elated - this is the best love story he thinks.

After Shen Zhenyi said this, the others basically calmed down.

"Actually, from the perspective of the box office, it is very difficult for this movie to fail - just the title of Wang Wei can recover the cost; and the controversy that will inevitably arise is also conducive to the promotion of the movie."

Comrade Lao Wang is undoubtedly the one who considers the problem from the perspective of this kind of income promotion.

"You who are at the top are not afraid of being scolded, what are we afraid of. It's good to try to make more types of movies, so that I can see more actresses with different styles."

The one who can be so coquettish is naturally the master photographer Zhou Lin.

"Art should not be defined by a few people. Art can resonate in the deepest part of people's hearts. In this sense, laughter is also a kind of art, so it cannot be said that this "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is A vulgar work without artistry..."

There is no doubt that Xu Daoxing is a steady and kind old man who knows how to find a way to make money for the boss.

After listening to Wang Wei, on the one hand, he felt heartwarming——

It can be seen that they may not understand his adventure, but they basically support his decision.

This feeling of not fighting alone is quite enjoyable.

On the other hand, he wanted to smile wryly——

They objected to making this movie from the perspective of "forced style", and they were confident in making the movie itself, both inside and outside the words.

After all, having seen Wang Wei's rapid progress over the years with his own eyes, he habitually has an indescribable confidence in him.

It's just that, to a certain extent, making this movie well is more difficult than making the first three movies!
