Chapter 967: Chen Kun's experience

In the film industry, there is a kind of movie called a series of movies, among which the more classic ones are, such as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and the "The Matrix" trilogy.

Of course, in addition to the trilogy, there are also some movie series with more episodes, such as the Star Wars series, the Resident Evil series, etc., all of which belong to the series of movies;

"Huang Feihong" many years ago, or "Rich and Ghost" earlier, are all films that have been prosperous in Chinese;

There are two ways for sequel movies in the industry. One is to shoot one first to try the market. If the feedback is good, the classmates will dig deep into the follow-up of the story or extend the protagonist's story to form another series; the other is to position the sequel movie from the beginning on a certain subject.

For example, the "Mission: Impossible" and "Spy Shadows" series are filmed step by step. Although the director's style is different, the overall temperament and story of the film are coherent. The sequel series of movies are about long-term fishing and sustainable development.

It is precisely because of the plot's connection and coherent story clues that the series of movies are highly sustainable and can conform to the "business rules" of batch and industrial production.

In the fiercely competitive and even cruel film market, maintaining an existing brand is of course much easier than creating new content. It can not only cover shooting costs faster and more, but also conduct publicity and marketing more conveniently, which can not only consolidate the audience group, but also mobilize more people to like it;

In Meng Qingzhou's selfishness, he hopes that the company has enough movies, so he doesn't have to rack his brains to consider how to be a porter;

Xu Zheng brought light to the producer of "Hong Kong Lost", and Meng Qingzhou would not say much, but if he really wanted to ignore the quality of the movie for the sake of his interests, he would have to replace him;

It is not necessarily easy to find a suitable director, but it is too simple to have the right tool!

As an actor, Xu Zheng is definitely not very successful in comparing those big names, and no big directors ask him to act. Wang Baoqing has Feng Jugang, Chen Kaige has him, Huang Bo has Zhou Xingxing, and Xu Zheng is at most Ning Hao, who became famous later.

Another reason may be that Chinese film directors all have serious clichés - they love handsome guys and handsome men.

And he himself said that because he didn't have a great director asking him to film, he became a director himself.

Xu Zheng’s ability to be a director is not very good at the moment, but it can attract attention. This is enough. The main purpose of making movies is to make money;

But the films he directed have their own characteristics, which are a bit like Zhou Xingxing. He always plays small roles. Even if he is a big character, he always gets entangled with small characters in the play, always encountering nonsensical things, but he can turn bad luck into good fortune and never give up. Therefore, his trait brought into his director's works, which made him a down-to-earth comedy film.

The director is actually the same as the actors. He is not afraid of being bad, but he is afraid of having no characteristics. Are many of the movies Wang Jing’s filmed still bad? But if he has his own set of characteristics, that’s fine.

Xu Zheng’s ability to successfully transform into the ranks of excellent directors with just one movie also shows his ability;

The director’s threshold is getting more and more open, but in fact he hasn’t let go, but he is just making it more open to the entertainment industry. I think it’s not good to have too much intersection between the movie and the entertainment industry.

Singers can make movies, young writers can also make movies, and even master's graduation works can be brought to the screen for various reasons;

With the development of the domestic film and television industry, it has suddenly become that anyone can play with it and make a lot of money and leave.

I still think that the word director is not a casual term, and requires extremely high professional skills, cultural literacy, a deep understanding of society and a careful appreciation of life.

But just like the word "professor", can you print it on your business card now by publishing two papers?

Alas...

Let’s talk about actors, there are a group of old actors in China. One of the characteristics of these old actors is that they can play the same accent and style. Fortunately, these old actors basically play the same routine role, so they can also bring people into the role on the screen.

But now, it may be that the times require different requirements. I don’t have time to appreciate it with your life. It’s better to perform with your good face. I feel comfortable looking at my eyes;

It’s not that young actors are not enterprising. They also want to act so well, but the environment is not good. You read the lines in a coquettish way and tell me how to get involved. And they also found that they don’t need to act too well, so they can run more publicity and keep the money in their pockets. Anyway, everyone is the same now, so I’ll just follow the trend.

In addition to the three important elements of script, director and actor, there is another factor that plays a dominant position, that is, the audience.

How to design a product is never how a designer uses his own creativity, but how a designer uses his own creativity according to consumer needs.

What kind of movies the audience wants to see, what kind of movies they like, and why they pay for money. To 80% of these are absolutely the trend of the film industry.

Think about it more than ten years ago, the movie was still in the theater. I heard that a romantic blockbuster "Titanic" was released. Everyone lined up to spend 20 yuan to buy a ticket. The big ship flipped over and jacked. As soon as "My Heart Eternal" sounded, the audience's soul resonated with the sea water of the Arctic Ocean. When they left the theater, they burst into tears and their mood could not calm down for a long time. Although this 20 yuan was very expensive, it was worth it!

Now, it’s a trivial matter to spend money to watch movies. Group purchases are on the rise, and there are various discounts. You can watch 30 yuan in addition to IMAX. You say that you buy a bottle of liquor for 2,000 yuan, you care about its taste, whether it is mellow enough, and whether it is sweet in the mouth. But what else do you want to buy a bottle of 5 yuan? Just get drunk.

So everyone started to go to and from the cinema frequently, and almost every half month and every month I wanted to go to the cinema to see what new films there were. After watching it, no matter whether it is good or bad, at least friends can talk about it. They were so stupid when they were young. What kind of thing is that of Toyama Haruju? Huang Bo is so funny. How many girlfriends do Meng Qingzhou have?

The cast of "Hong Kong Empress" was confirmed. The most important thing was that after the general flag was replaced by Hao Lei, Meng Qingzhou sent a message to Sisi and asked her to go upstairs;

"Lao Meng, I plan to set the schedule for "Hong Kong Empress" in the National Day holiday, and there is no conflict with "The Dragon Search"?"

Meng Qingzhou waved his hand, wiped out the cigarette butts in his hand, and walked out of the study with Xu Zheng;

"Old Xu, don't forget to go to the company to launch a project tomorrow. It's best to start the computer in early March, otherwise it may not be too late!"

Meng Qingzhou did not explain the relevant terms of the agreement and the protection of Xu Zheng's interests in detail, and Zhong Li did not make any arrangements;

Because she had a friend, Sisi had a little dressing up and changed into a decent casual outfit before slowly going upstairs. This was the first time she had seen a guest as Lao Meng’s girlfriend, and she felt a little panicked;

The old Meng family was in an abnormal state. Huang Bo and the other two saw Liu Sisi. After greeting each other familiarly, the topic focused on the script of "The Dragon Search";

Chen Kun pointed to the mantra of the dragon search in the script and said, "This mantra has a prototype. After calling me, I checked it out. The original text seemed to be written by a Feng Shui master in the Tang Dynasty!"

Meng Qingzhou gave Chen Kun a thumbs up, this is a qualified actor;

"Brother Kun is amazing. When I was writing the script, I specially asked Zhang Muye for advice, but he couldn't even remember it himself!"

Looking for dragons and looking at the mountains, one level of entanglement is another level of gate; if there are thousands of locks in the gate, there must be kings and princes living here.

This is a short passage from the original text "The Dragon Shake" and wrote an online novel. It is indeed ruthless to look up information. You can find such unpopular books, so I like him!

"Brother Bo, what are your thoughts?"

Friends all know that Huang Bo’s habits are the first thing to do when you get a script is to find information and materials. If there are prototypes, original works, etc., he still needs to understand and read them one by one;

Holding the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light", Huang Bo said: "I will study the script home and study it again. I will try to finish the novel as soon as possible. However, Director Meng, you have to give more time. I am not as good as Brother Kun. I have never been exposed to it before. This requirement is not too much, right?"

Speaking of this, Chen Kun depressedly filmed Huang Bo. Not long after the Spring Festival, the box office of "Zhong Kui Fumo" is currently less than 300 million yuan. The producer's failure is already a foregone conclusion, which triggered the statement that Chen Kun was not capable of carrying the box office, and Chen Kun was also very upset;

Huang Bo said to Meng Qingzhou: "Boss Meng, it's hard to get you, just have some drinks!"

Seeing that Chen Kun was not in high spirits, Lao Meng was about to ask the aunt to get the wine. Sisi had already gotten up and called someone. Huang Bo adjusted his position and shook his eyes at Lao Meng;

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's so cruel Mr. Meng, are you planning to catch them all in one go? I was pretending to be in front of us a few days ago, why don't you hide it now?"

"I'm afraid that you will be inferior, keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"

The depressed Chen Kun was also shocked by Meng Qingzhou's shamelessness and raised his hand to point at him: "Do you think no one knows? It's just that no one dares to say it, but Qingzhou, you are so awesome!"

Meng Qingzhou smiled complacently, unwilling to talk about this matter, "You two help me think about the candidate for the heroine. Lao Wu and I chose two, Sisi and Li Meiqi."

"This still needs to be considered. Just Sisi. If you don't take care of your own people, what do you think?"

Chen Kun also nodded in agreement. If it weren't for the age restrictions, he would have wanted to recommend Zhou Xun, produced by Meng Qingzhou. No matter how bad it is, it would be a good foundation. Moreover, this movie is obviously a big production, and the opportunity is rare!

Any director who chooses an actor will experience it. According to the script, should you choose a post and character image or have better acting skills?

In fact, this matter is very simple, depending on the director's ability.

The director can hold the actors and understand exactly what they want, and he will definitely choose to fit the character's image.

Because no matter how awesome a director is, it is difficult to adjust the texture of the actor. The supporting role is fine. If you delete the actor's crying scenes and dialogue scenes, the texture can be increased a few times, but the operation of the protagonist is not practical.

But the problem is that most directors do not know how to perform. An actor with a score of about 70 is often very intimidating. With a yelling, crying and making a fuss, the director's heart begins to see a burst of acting skills.

Such a director is still suitable for choosing good acting skills.

Why? Because people who are not confident need to find this kind of confidence to deceive themselves. This can also ensure that the film can be shot a little more satisfactorily to a certain extent, which is a relatively responsible approach to the producer. At least the lower limit of the film will not be so low.

But at the same time, there is no limit. Most domestic videos are produced under this method.

There is no way, it is determined by the core creators and market aesthetics.

In other words, because the aesthetics of the core creator is not enough to drive the aesthetics of the market, he must succumb to the aesthetics of the market. The aesthetics of the market will not be a very high-level aesthetic in any case, but a normal and low-level aesthetics, because there are too many people to take into account.

That's about it.

And, there is a prerequisite for this problem to be true that everyone defaults to:

An actor with good acting skills does not mean a "suitable" actor.

Lao Meng turned around and looked at the corridor without hearing footsteps. He said in a tight voice: "I'm worried that Sisi's acting will drag you down. If you two have no objection, then I'll make a decision!"

"With our brother Kun here, no problem with the designation!"

Meng Qingzhou was thinking about the original version of Shu Qi, and then changed Sisi's face automatically in his mind. It didn't feel very inconsistent, and there was nothing wrong with it!

In my memory, the extreme acting skills can ignore the influence of role fit. Many people popped up in his mind, one is Li Ruotong's Xiaolongnu, one is Fa Ge's Little Ma Ge, one is Ye Tong's Xu Xian, and the other is Qianqi's Wang Yuyan...

The characters are in tune with each other and ignore their acting skills, which are produced by Adam Cheng’s Chu Liuxiang and Zhao Yazhi’s Bai Suzhen, both of which are very good;

Sisi walked over with two bottles of red wine, Zhao Xiaogu followed closely with a wine plate, Chen Kun and Huang Bo looked at her round belly, his eyes almost glaring out;

"Old Meng, there are only two bottles, there are no more!"

Xiaolongface greeted the two of them and sat down calmly next to Lao Meng;

"Is it still possible today?" Zhao Xiaogu has had a severe morning sickness these days. He vomited whatever he eats, and the whole family is nervous;

Xiaogu leaned on the back of the chair, looking listless, Qingzhou felt very distressed. He took a soft cushion from the side and placed it behind her, poured her another cup of boiled water;

"Do you have anything to eat? I asked Zhou Yun to buy it. How many days will you pick up your parents tomorrow?"

When Huang Bo saw Sisi, he also looked at Xiaogu with concern and admired Meng Qingzhou from the bottom of his heart. No wonder this guy was able to make such a big family business and such strong management ability, who could stop him!

"I've been much better today, but I still don't have much appetite. Qingzhou, you guys talk to you, don't worry about me!"

After all, Chen Kun brought a child and probably read a lot of books on this matter. He said to Xiaogu: "It is definitely not okay not to eat. Let the aunt at home stew some soup and then use the soup to cook porridge. This is what I heard from someone. Do you want to try it?"

Is this an experience that a single dad can have?
