China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 248 explodes the topic [please subscribe]

The script of a movie is difficult to say and easy to say.

The first is a purely original plot.

This is difficult, because there are so many routines, and the predecessors have basically written them. You have to write a script that is logically smooth, free of bugs, and has strong dramatic conflicts. Such a script requires very good inspiration in the early stage, and also in the later stage. Keep grinding bugs, the cycle is really long.

The second type is to adapt the plot, which involves adapting the original work or real events. Because the movie wants to create a sense of dramatic conflict, it requires secondary creation of the original work and original events.

This is not simple either. It is not an easy task to tell a complete story in a short period of time, not to mention that it is also difficult to adapt it in a wonderful and dramatic way and to arouse the audience's emotions.

Sun Yi tried to create something original, but after two days, a lot of hair fell out, but there was still no progress in the script.

It can't be said that there is none, but he is not satisfied with it.

He now realizes that no wonder the most commonly mentioned sentence in the entire director circle is that it is hard to find a copy.

Since originality failed, Sun Yi began to try to adapt it, but just when he was about to start, a sudden incident once again pushed him to the forefront.

It turned out that during the two days when he was in retreat to write the script, the media had spread the rumors about what happened between him and director Lu Chuan at the jury symposium of this year's Beijing University Student Film Festival.

And there are more and more versions.

Some of the more reliable ones say:

"Two outstanding young directors in China had a dispute at the symposium because they had different views on a movie. Director Lu Chuan criticized Director Sun Yi for the lack of artistic expression in the movie "Fake Marriage", while Director Sun Yi A strong response was given.”

This type of media is mainly based on "Nandu Entertainment", which previously interviewed Sun Yi, and the content of the reports is fairly objective, while some other tabloids don't care so much.

It's as exciting as it is, it's eye-catching, it doesn't take logic into account at all.

What "The two got into a fight over the movie at the symposium."

There is even a report: "Two young directors are jealous of an actress."

It really shocked movie fans across the country.

The university film festival organizing committee met and things got out of hand, so they had to stand up to refute the rumors and explain what happened that day realistically.

However, the wording was very euphemistic. It said that Sun Yi and Lu Chuan had a friendly exchange on the issue of movies.

However, the heat of the matter did not cool down because of this. Sun Yi had no choice but to stop writing the script and hold a press conference.

"Director Sun Yi, did you really have a dispute with Director Lu Chuan on the day of the symposium?"

"We can't talk about arguments. Both of us are directors, and we have our own unique testimonials about movies. Of course we had some exchanges after meeting. Maybe we are both more serious, so when we are outsiders, it's like a dispute."

In the face of the media, Sun Yi also avoided the important and ignored the easy.

He thought, this is not a pleasant thing to hear. It can't be said that the two of them really almost had sex directly.

Sun Yi's answer obviously did not satisfy the reporters in the audience, and he continued to ask:
"But according to Director Lu Chuan, he really thought that your movie "Fake Marriage" had no artistic connotation, so he couldn't help but put forward his own opinion."

"This journalist friend, no matter what Director Lu Chuan says, I want to say that this argument is fundamentally wrong. As a film director, the film "Fake Marriage" is completely a commercial production. What she pursues is The market value of box office and its derivatives is aimed at the recognition of consumers, that is, the majority of movie fans."

"What Director Lu Chuan is talking about are art films. Most of them explore esoteric themes such as philosophy and human nature. They use eclectic shooting techniques and aim to be recognized by industry insiders." "Is there any comparison between the two? "

The topic was relatively professional, and the reporters in the audience could not refute it, so they had to ask another question.

"Then I would like to ask Director Sun Yi. There is internal information that you and Director Lu Chuan will shoot a love-themed short film for the College Student Film Festival at the same time as the opening film of the film festival. Does this move have a higher meaning? "

Although Sun Yi was prepared before the press conference, he was also very shocked at this moment.

The whole thing was really investigated by these reporters, but even so, he couldn't admit it.

You can be arrogant, but you can't be domineering.

"It's not convenient for me to answer this question. I shot the opening short film at the invitation of the organizing committee. As for a competition or something like that, I can only say that the film is for the audience to watch and comment on."

Seeing that there were still many reporters raising their hands to ask questions, Sun Yi felt that he could say no more about this matter, so he simply made the final speech.

"Okay, that's all for today's press conference. Let me say one last thing."

"Originally, I was recommended by the school to serve as a student judge for this college student film festival, but because I have works that are also participating in the selection, although the organizer has no relevant requirements for this, I personally decided to resign from this film festival to avoid suspicion. as a student judge.”

This was what Sun Yi had discussed with Yang Fan before the press conference. With the current level of media interest in this matter, someone will definitely follow this trend. It is better to withdraw directly and seal this loophole in advance, leaving the remaining I have to be talked out of again.

After the press conference, Sun Yi and Yang Fan returned to the company to drink tea and complain.

"Do you think these reporters have nothing to do? It's not a big deal, just one by one."

Yang Fan took out a handful of tea leaves from the tea box and put them into the teapot.Then, he covered the teapot with the lid, picked up the boiled water and rinsed the tea leaves. While rinsing, he smiled at Sun Yi and said:
"You don't know how popular you are right now. You have something to talk about. As a reporter, that's what you rely on to make a living. Besides, this is also a good thing."

"Good thing?"

Sun Yi put down his tea cup and asked with some doubts.

"Well, you have been studying the script for the past two days, and you have no time to pay attention. Taking advantage of this media hype, the box office trend of "Fake Marriage" has bucked the trend." After saying this, he opened his palm and gestured towards Sun Yi. .

"The revenue in a single day is 500 million, and in two days, the box office revenue is 1000 million, and the total box office has reached 1 million. If nothing else happens, the final box office revenue of our movie will definitely be more than 9 million. Do you think this hype is worth it? worth."

If you think about it this way, it's really an unexpected surprise.

Since the commercialization process of Chinese films began in 02, the dispute between the art and business of films has gradually become more and more intense in the entire film industry.

The new generation of filmmakers and some who have clearly seen the situation and have the courage to pioneer have begun attempts to commercialize films. However, a considerable number of veterans still stubbornly cling to the incomplete, believing that only art films are real films and commercial films Movies are trash in their eyes.

The dispute between Sun Yi and Lu Chuan at the symposium this time seemed to be a fuse, directly putting the dispute between Chinese film business and art on the table, and aroused widespread attention. Many people who had never watched "Fake Marriage" before Movie audiences also walked into the cinema out of curiosity.

This is what caused the movie's box office curve to show a strange reverse increase in the last week of release.
