This director needs to apologize

Chapter 43 Try your best to make the whole scene lively
The last time I came to see the second uncle, Da Zhuang could hold back his temper and waited until Chen Yiming got in the car before explaining.

This time he left the office and couldn't wait to go out, so he directly dragged Chen Yiming into an empty reception room next to him.

"What on earth can you do, Tiezhu? Let me tell you, this matter is definitely not going to please both parties!

Or do you already have a general idea? "

When it came to the latter part, he was somewhat doubtful. After all, there was a precedent like "Holiday in the Magic City".

Leng Buding said he wanted to make a movie, and then he turned around and took out a thick stack of scripts and storyboards, like magic!
Chen Yiming spread his hands, "I have no clue, how can I come up with ideas?"

Da Zhuang became anxious when he heard it, "I didn't expect you to agree so happily? Let me tell you, you must not think that I just talked about it casually. He has never tried to talk about work matters."

He leaned down and stared at Chen Yiming, speaking word by word.

"Either you reply to him as soon as possible and say that you are not sure, and I will take care of things for you; or I can only treat you as someone who has a good idea, and then you must make a name for yourself from beginning to end.

You know, this is different from us tinkering with "Holiday in Magic City".Once the project is officially launched, it will be the entire Demon Shadow Group's business. Don't talk about face in front of Director Ma, I won't even have a butt, and I won't even be able to make a punctuation mark. "

Ma Yunteng said it very solemnly, and his concern for his brothers was beyond words.
Chen Yiming also put away the carelessness in his heart, leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and lowered his head. Only the tapping of his right hand on the armrest of the sofa made him seem to be concentrating on thinking instead of sleeping. On fire.

Da Zhuang didn't hear Chen Yiming's reply for a long time, so he couldn't help but continue to dissuade him.

"Tie Zhu, "Holiday in the Magic City" is a loud start. We can take small steps and walk slowly. We don't have to take huge risks and squeeze into the main melody. If we step too fast, we will break our eggs.

You know, Xiaomei and I have received a lot of scripts and projects from me these days. I looked through what they were all about, but they were not as interesting as the little story you casually told me last time.

What I mean is, I know you have a lot of ideas in your mind, so let’s take it one step at a time. There’s really no need to mix it up with propositional composition. "

After all the words were spoken, there was still no response from the other party. Master Teng couldn't help but become more impatient, and the words he spoke became a lot heavier.

"Yi Ming, you really need to be careful about your second movie. There are a lot of people waiting to see your jokes. At least the gangsters from the Imperial Circle don't mind stepping on them hard.

The circle is so big, except for the good guys, all of them are bad guys. Do you think there are more good people or bad people?
Don't think that "Holiday in the Magic City" is going smoothly. The group can always do so with the help of people and efforts. There are many people who can't stand Bo Jue, you and me. I can't cover up the sky with one hand in Moying.

There are only so many things, and it’s wrong for us small characters to get the limelight! "

Chen Yiming opened his eyes, turned to look at Ma Yunteng, and gave him a comforting punch on the shoulder.

"Dazhuang, you know me, I will never come up with an idea if I don't think about it neatly.

I didn’t lie to you just now, I really don’t have any specific ideas at the moment.

But it is rare for the second uncle to speak to us two young people. I can't refuse regardless of emotion or reason, and I have to do my best.

I know that taking care of both domestic and foreign parties, there is a high probability that both parties will suffer from the hard work, but if you don’t really give it a try, your dad won’t be willing to do it.

People know their own business, and without the clever princess of Britain, the overseas revenue of "Holiday in Magic" would be the same.

This time it’s different. We have the entire Demon Shadow Group as our backing, asking people to ask for money and give them money. Let us two brothers play around freely. Ask yourself, are you willing not to give it a try?
We are young. Isn’t our greatest asset the ability to survive failure? "

Ma Yunteng's expression changed again and again, but in the end it was Young Master's thug who got the upper hand, and he said viciously.

"Okay, since you said so, then I have no problem with it and I'll bet on this store."

Chen Yiming shook his head in confusion, "It's not about gambling, the time limit given by the second uncle is too short, in fact, we can only make small and medium-sized costs, and we can't open any big business.

Even if the goal of two blossoms is not achieved in the end, it will not create any big trouble for the group. "

Da Zhuang waved his hand indifferently, "Just tell me what to do next."

Chen Yiming counted his fingers and calculated them one by one for him, "First, after I go back, I have to go into seclusion, and those interviews, seminars, etc. were all given to me.

Then, Sister Shen, you will take over and follow up. We have a principle: as long as cash is paid, there is no need to discuss division, installment, or replacement, and the money will be transferred into the company account as soon as possible.In the second movie, we can’t just work part-time, we always have to occupy a small position.

Next, you have to arrange recruitment for the company. Even if the group takes over, we still have to have someone dedicated to the job. Xiaomei can't do it by herself.Also, those unfinished cultural and creative projects should be completed as soon as possible. From now on, we will completely transform into movies.

Finally, you have been out and about a lot in the past few months. Pay attention and create a file for the reliable, low-key and useful behind-the-scenes information in the circle. Maybe you can use it sometime.Forget it if it's famous or famous, we can't reach it. "

……

The two of them had decided on a plan. Ma Yunteng drove Chen Yiming to the Magic City Library, while he himself went directly to Bo Jue.

Time and space have changed drastically. Chen Yiming has not even understood the history of China in this time and space. How can he have any specific ideas?

In fact, when the second uncle mentioned the theme movie, Chen Yiming reflexively defined the general scope.

There are ready-made examples in previous lives of whatever it is that is shot with the main theme of China.

"Changjin Lake" is a war movie with big scenes, including airplanes, tanks, gun battles, and explosions. It is naturally suitable for movie theaters and is the first choice for both theme and box office.

"Operation Mekong" is an action film about gunfights between cops and gangsters. It can barely reach the edge of the main theme by relying on overseas law enforcement, and its box office competitiveness is also not low.

"The Climber" is an action-adventure film, and perhaps a love story. Compared with the first two themes, it is slightly weaker in terms of both theme and box office.

Except for Li Yannian's "Meritorious Service", which is about war, the others are biopics similar to "Secretary Jiao". The themes are substantial and the box office is inherently weak.

Later there was "The Wandering Earth", an industrial science fiction film that perfectly presented the Chinese nation's unique view of salvation; and "Win the Championship", a sports film, reawakened the spirit of the women's volleyball team in the national memory.

It is a pity that the main theme movies in the previous life have indeed benefited from the rapid growth of the Chinese film market and the awakening of the audience's national spiritual and cultural confidence, and have generated billions and billions in the domestic box office.

However, when I go abroad, no matter what the subject matter or the scene, whether it is box office or awards, all of them fail without exception.

At that time, some experts believed that if Chinese films wanted to go overseas, they must face up to cultural discounts, pay more attention to universal values, and reflect the magnanimity and broadmindedness of a great country.

To translate, the core of the story should cater more to the tastes and habits of foreign audiences.

Chen Yiming has always disagreed with this.

To put it bluntly, movies are just fun to watch.

If you want to be awarded awards, your film must be original, and if you want to earn box office, your film must be fresh.

Originality, freshness, different names, but still lively.

The difference is that after hundreds of years of development, the technical ingenuity of movies has been exhausted. Directors can only work hard on artistry, and their perspectives are getting further and further away from ordinary audiences. As a result, there are art films that have no box office. statement.

On the other hand, it is just the opposite for ordinary audiences. Genre films have become highly mature and new stories are rare. Commercial films have to focus on technical aspects such as sound and light special effects. The scenes are grand and special effects are piled on the characters but the stories are simple. In other words, commercial films have no connotation.

The embarrassing thing is that the Chinese-themed movie is not strong on both levels.

I won't mention the awards. First of all, the theme conflicts with the positions of the three major European films and the Nut Oscar. It's okay to sell the film, but there is no need to talk about winning the award.

As for the box office, to be honest, those Chinese blockbusters in the previous life, even "The Wandering Earth" with the best special effects, can only be said to be at the middle level of Hollywood, the level of the beginning of the century.

Global audiences have been bombarded with Hollywood blockbusters for decades, and the technical capabilities of the Chinese film industry are not enough yet.

The rapid development of the previous life for more than ten years was not enough. The Chinese film industry in this time and space in 2009 is naturally even less popular.

In fact, even after ten years of going overseas, the slogan was still the same.

Before Chen Yiming's time travel, the copyrights of art films had dropped to a [-]% discount, and the box office of commercial films was so bad that it was impossible to watch them. Both roads were basically blocked.

Therefore, conventional ideas will definitely not work. If Chen Yiming wants to achieve the effect of two flowers, he must use a vision that transcends the times to create a unique excitement.
