Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 201-Dilraba was betrayed (please follow up)
In the 203 screening room of the East Education Building on the campus of the School of Art and Media of Yanjing Normal University, a small-scale "preview party" of new films has just concluded.

Ms. Zhang Wei, co-president of Alibaba Pictures (in charge of publicity), led several company executives, Zhao Ruoyao, the second-in-command of Jiaxing Media, as well as nine professional film critics and five independent writers attended this preview meeting. The result was The current atmosphere is very depressing.

Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei, who are both directors and screenwriters, were a little at a loss when they stood on the stage.

Especially when the two of them saw Zhang Wei's solemn expression, they became even more confused.

"If I remember correctly, "Pride and Prejudice" was officially launched in late October 2015, and it seemed that it was basically completed in less than forty days. Then the film was backlogged for more than a year despite the "Dragon Label" Take it out, but are you satisfied with the final product?"

Zhang Wei looked at Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei who were staring at the toes of their shoes on the stage, then slowly turned around and glanced at Zhao Ruoyao who was rubbing his mineral water bottle, and then turned his head slightly to glance at the smiling professional film critics and independent writers scattered around. people.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Wei sighed slowly and expressed that she was very disappointed with this film.

When Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei saw this, their slightly bowed backs instantly collapsed again.

Zhang Wei pursed her lips. Although she did not major in film and television or related disciplines, Zhang Wei understood the principle that "it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

It is indeed beyond Li Haishu's ability to ask Li Haishu, a female director born in 1977, to train Dilraba, Zhang Yunlong and Gao Weiguang.

Therefore, Zhang Wei's attitude towards the pairing of Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei was only disappointing, and even showed a hint of sympathy and pity, but he had absolutely no complaints.

Zhang Wei turned around and motioned to Song Lixin, the capable officer sitting next to her, to share her opinion.

This elder sister "Song Lixin" is from the cultural industry. The latter nodded to Zhang Wei and then directly "fired".

First of all, she pointed out that the special effects shots of this movie are very childish and ridiculous, and are completely inconsistent with the production level of Mo Jing Tianhe.

Secondly, he questioned how the script of this movie was revised four times and five times, so that all the interesting and novel features of the first three versions were eliminated?

Finally, the supporting and guest roles represented by Zhou Haimei and Jin Chen completely surpassed the leading actors led by Dilraba Dilraba in terms of acting skills!

"Ms. Zhao Ruoyao, do the artists under Jiaxing Media usually treat their work with such a perfunctory attitude?"

Song Lixin skipped the last seven items recorded in the notebook and turned directly to question Zhao Ruoyao, who was still stroking the mineral water bottle.

Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei on the stage also straightened their waists slightly, and at the same time raised their heads and looked at Zhao Ruoyao with complicated eyes.

When "Pride and Prejudice" first started filming in 2015, Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei were very excited. After all, the heroine was the rising star Dilraba, and the two male actors who co-starred with her were also her fans. They work as colleagues, so at least in terms of tacit understanding, these three people should not have any problems or mistakes.

Once we started shooting, it was exactly what the two directors expected.

Dilraba, Zhang Yunlong and Gao Weiguang coincidentally pulled away.

This situation caused Li Haishu to suffer from insomnia continuously a week after the film was started, and Huang Yanwei, one of the domestic "gold medal" screenwriters, also fell into self-doubt.

Huang Yanwei once talked about this matter with Wang Hailin, his friend and colleague for many years. The latter advised him that since he accepted the project without in-depth understanding, he should let go of the obsessions in his mind and heart and help Li Haishu to write "Tsundere and Tsundere". After directing "Prejudice", hand in the "answer sheet" to the employer and don't shrink from the battle.

Wang Hailin's meaning is very simple and pure, just do your best and obey fate.

Wang Hailin happened to be present today, so when Song Lixin questioned Zhao Ruoyao, the latter did not say a word, causing the atmosphere to become even more tense at the stall when he stood up to speak.

"The three points that Ms. Song condensed just now are indeed [hit the nail on the head], but this film is by no means a puddle of smelly mud or filth."

When Wang Hailin said this, he paused for a moment, then lowered his head and quickly glanced at the notebook in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at his old friend with an incomprehensible expression and a hunched back.

Dilraba Dilraba interprets the "silly and sweet" side of the heroine very well in this film, and her small movements and micro-expressions are all on point.

As soon as Wang Hailin's words came out, the professional film critics and independent writers sitting around nodded their heads one after another. For this point, Dilraba must be especially praised.

Although "Silly Baitian" and "Mary Sue" have always been despised and ridiculed by practitioners in the film and television industry, media people, and audiences.

But Wang Hailin can responsibly say that 90% of actors cannot compare with Dilraba in this aspect.

"Silly and sweet" is the highlight of Dilraba's performance and it is also a selling point for the promotion and marketing of "Pride and Prejudice"!
Wang Hailin's words made Zhang Wei, Song Lixin and other Alibaba Pictures executives whisper to each other, and the two directors on the stage straightened their backs.

Huang Yanwei's eyes towards Wang Hailin were full of gratitude. His old friend could both find fault and find food in the mud.

"In addition, although this romantic comedy does not have any intimate scenes or intimate scenes, it can be packaged as its second [scream] point."

"Pride and Prejudice" Wang Hailin carefully watched the footage from the beginning to the end, and found that the male and female protagonists in the film were side by side at most.

Thinking back to the fact that Dilraba would rather have her pay deducted or even be replaced than do a kissing scene, he suddenly felt that Dilraba was a bit scheming.

In fact, Li Haishu and Huang Yanwei also knew that Dilraba was using her firm resistance to intimate and affectionate scenes to force the reputation and praise of passers-by.

It cannot even be said to be a "forced change" but should be described as "gamble". But at that time, except for the people around Reba, no one knew how deep her gambling capital was!
Wang Hailin tapped his laptop gently on his thigh to bring his thoughts back to the present. What he wanted to do at the moment was to help his old friend save the situation as much as possible.

"Previously, there was a trend of [chick movies] in our country's film market, and female artists such as Bai Baihe became the darlings of the big screen. Although Dilraba's business level is not one percent as good as Bai Baihe's, but Couldn't we try to label this "Pride and Prejudice" as "Pure Love"?"

At this moment, Wang Hailin did not look at the executives of Alibaba Pictures and Zhao Ruoyao of Jiaxing Media. Instead, he turned around and stretched out his arms to look around at the film critics and writers.

Professor Dai Jinhua wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back. He had previously thought that Wang Hailin was talented, dared to speak out, and understood humor, but he did not expect that he would talk nonsense.

"Pure love" + "comedy" are also meant for people to watch?

"The King of Comedy" created and filmed by Stephen Chow could only be considered to have a touch of "pure love", and its main focus was "nonsensical" rather than "comedy". The gap between the two is very big and they belong to completely different approaches. .

Therefore, Wang Hailin is "stealing a new concept" at this moment, so when he speaks, he must face a group of film critics and writers to ensure everyone's cooperation.

They all hang out in the same circle and never look up. If Wang Hailin does this, anyone will give him three points of disgrace at this moment.

Therefore, even colleagues who have different ideas from Wang Hailin choose to listen quietly now. Anyway, they will have time to rage after the movie is released.

Furthermore, the popularity of "chick flicks" is mainly due to the excellent quality of the scripts.

Then even if Dilraba Dilraba were to act, her advantages would be fully demonstrated, but looking back, the script of "Pride and Prejudice" was completely changed.

Wang Hailin believes that the first version of "Pride and Prejudice" can be rated at 80 points; Professor Dai Jinhua believes that the revised second version can also be rated at around 70 points.

But the fifth version of the script that was ultimately used for filming was only worth 40 points in the eyes of Mr. Gu Xiaobai.

Wang Hailin calmly sat back down after setting the tone for the film critics and writers who came to attend this "preview meeting".

Gu Xiaobai stood up and spoke immediately after him. First of all, he agreed with Wang Hailin's point of view. Although this movie is bad, it is not without merit.

The acting skills of Dilraba Dilraba, Zhang Yunlong and Gao Weiguang were indeed "crushed" by Zhou Haimei, Jin Chen and other green leaves.

However, this can be used in post-release marketing to guide the audience to go to the theater to explore the big "gap" in business capabilities between the protagonist group and the supporting group.

"Engage in debate" and drive supporters on both sides to actively spread the influence of this bad movie by exalting the acting skills of the supporting cast and belittling the acting skills of the leading cast.

Even if you want to scold Dilraba Dilraba, Zhang Yunlong, and Gao Weiguang, you have to read it again before opening your mouth to rant;
On the other hand, even if you are prepared to support Zhou Haimei, Jin Chen, etc., you still have to appreciate them once before you start to praise them.

Gu Xiaobai pushed the glasses, saying that although doing so would seriously harm the big-screen future of the starring troupe, it would at least earn a little more box office and recoup costs.

In addition, since her acting skills are not good, she deserves to be criticized. Can Dilraba and the two male artists refute this? Dare to reply?
Since the small-scale "preview meeting" held today is biased toward internal review, the film critics and writers who received large appearance fees worked very hard.

Regardless of whether what you say is important or not, you must show a positive work attitude and make Alibaba Pictures feel that the money is worth spending and invite everyone next time!

So when Gu Xiaobai sat down, Hu Xudong stood up and expressed his opinion. Letting the starring team take the blame for the film is one of the best plans for later marketing.

Dilraba's true professional skills are obvious to the audience in the series, so it is not an accident that she performs abnormally on the big screen.

As for why Dilraba was chosen as the female lead, it can be summed up with the "Jiaxing Gift Package".

When Hu Xudong said this, he didn't even look at Zhao Ruoyao who was sitting in the front row.

Jiaxing Media is nothing compared to Alibaba Pictures, and today's "salary" is still given by Alibaba Pictures. Whoever eats his food will do what he does. This is a must-have professional ethics. Jiaxing Media doesn't have the guts to offend it anyway. "Film and TV Review" Industry.

If Dilraba didn't have Chen Yu as her backer, she would have been scolded by the film critics and writers present today.

Now you can tell why Alibaba Pictures didn't invite the actors from "Pride and Prejudice" to participate in this "preview", right?

Yes, Alibaba Pictures has been preparing to let actors take the blame from the very beginning.

The executives who called Jiaxing Media were not only because Jiaxing Media was one of the main investors, but also wanted to intimidate Jiaxing Media and tell them not to struggle blindly.

In addition, isn't Dilraba going to star in the healing film "Worry-Free Grocery Store" co-invested by Wanda Group and Yinghuang?

Then I, Alibaba Pictures, will first create a fresh "wound" for you to worry about and worry about!

Alibaba, Wanda, Yinghuang and Chen Yu are all cooperating but wary of each other and even causing trouble.

　3254, I hope everyone can interact more and ask for further reading.
