After the Golden Tripod Award, "The Heart Epidemic" also ended perfectly, and finally won an amazing box office result of 1.35 billion, and also occupied the top of the world's horror suspense and supernatural movie box office history, showing the industry new possibilities of this type of film.

Why does the Producers Association like Wei Lan so much?

It is because every time she tries a new type of movie, it opens people's horizons, which is equivalent to taking out a new and mature template, telling the investors and producers behind that this type of movie should be shot in this way to succeed.

"System, how many points do I have?"

Because 100 million points is very far away, Wei Lan has not paid attention to the status of points for a long time, and as a result, he got an amazing number from the system.

System: The current balance of the host's points is - 4358072

Wei Lan was shocked: more than four million, so much?

The voice of the system is still without ups and downs and emotions, but Wei Lan heard a resentment in it: the host's points only go in and not out, of course there are more.

Wei Lan directly ignored the system's yin and yang and checked the detailed income of the points.

Unlike games, Wei Lan does not get a fixed number of points after completing a movie. Just like people's emotions, it is an uncertain value that grows every day and will be affected by many factors. However, during the release of the movie, the number of points will peak, and the subsequent impact will continue to exist.

In addition to the goodwill radiated by the work, it is also directly aimed at Wei Lan's own goodwill. It may be that a fan saw Wei Lan's Weibo and was attracted by her performance in variety shows, or the recent "pentakill" stalk, a netizen shouted "Director Wei bless" when he was about to get a pentakill, and he really got a pentakill, etc., which may be the reason for the increase in points.

I calculated in my mind that if all of these 4 million points can be converted into life span, then I have to live... Forget it.

Then Wei Lan looked at the points income during this period given by the system.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the peak of points during the release of the two movies, the three peaks of her points recently were when she appeared on the parent-child program "Family Treasure" with Wei Sijia...

emmm... Sure enough, in addition to filming movies, she can also go the path of being cute on parent-child programs?

But Wei Lan soon rejected this view. Compared with filming movies without showing her face, this path is not a long-term solution. She looked down at her little hands and couldn't help but frown.

At first, under the influence of the gene drug, her body really didn't grow halfway. Her situation was originally an abnormal state. Under normal circumstances, her genes would have collapsed and she died. She survived entirely because of the system's golden finger.

Children of this age group grow and develop very quickly. It is impossible for her to earn enough points by participating in a parent-child program once. If she participates several times, the time will be extended. The children are growing up, and Wei Lan is still three or four years old. It is easy for the audience to find clues under the camera.

So in the final analysis, it is more reliable to make movies well.

After the Golden Tripod Awards, Wei Lan, who won six Golden Tripod Awards, still received many invitations from the media and variety talk shows. She roughly looked at the content and rejected the entertainment programs and interview talk shows. Wei Lan was not a high-profile person, especially in her current situation, it is better to avoid these activities as much as possible. However, among these invitations, one of them was a discussion invitation held at the Imperial Capital Theater to discuss the "future trend of information film development" that attracted her.

Wei Lan is still very interested in this kind of artistic discussion. It would be best if she could put forward her own views and attract like-minded partners. Even if she didn't find one, the exchange would add some new inspiration to her next movie.

After confirming that the organizer could let her participate by phone, Wei Lan agreed to the invitation of this lecture.

On April 15, the largest lecture hall in the Imperial Capital Theater was full of students who came early to take seats, and even the corridors were full of students. If this lecture did not refuse external media to enter, it is estimated that the crowding would be even more terrifying. Even so, many latecomers could only barely squeeze in the door.

With the participation of Wei Lan, a hot and talented director, the organizers immediately raised the level of the other two guests invited.

Shen Zhiwen, the famous director who is the chairman of the Directors Guild and one of the judges of the Golden Tripod Awards, was originally unable to invite him even though he was the honorary president of the Imperial Capital Theater. The director of the directing department did not get a positive response until he confirmed that Wei Lan could come.

Another guest, Ding Chenghong, the president of the Producers Association, also changed his tone immediately after hearing that Wei Lan was willing to attend the lecture, and changed his schedule to attend.

There was a three-seater sofa and a coffee table on the stage. The host this time was Shao Yuzhen, a well-known host who graduated from the Imperial Capital Theater. This elegant female host usually hosts serious and in-depth talk shows, and has always been very popular and influential.

At this time, Shao Yuzhen and the two guests sat on a single sofa. There was a phone on the coffee table, connected to the classroom audio.

Of the two guests sitting on the sofa, Shen Zhiwen is nearly 60 years old and now has gray hair, but still has an elegant temperament. Ding Chenghong, the president of the Producers Association, is about 40 or 50 years old, slightly fat, and has a friendly smile.

In addition to the official recording equipment, many people present also took out their mobile phones to open the live broadcast. Everyone is looking forward to what famous quotes Director Wei will say this time.

"Let us welcome our three guests."

After Shen Zhiwen and Ding Chenghong greeted each other, along with the applause of the students in the classroom, a familiar cold female voice came from the phone: "Hello everyone, I am Wei Lan..."

Another round of applause broke out from the audience. It was obvious that Wei Lan was now as popular as a star among the younger generation.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Shao Yuzhen began to raise the topic: "Then we come to the topic of our issue. Regarding the development trend of the future film industry, the three of them are industry authorities. What do you think about it?"

"Then let me first throw some light on the topic." Ding Chenghong said: "From my perspective as a producer, the trend of future movies will definitely be to invest more and more in capital and data flow. Compared with Zeng's small Cost, more themes and content will appear in cinemas in the future..."

Ding Chenghong is a producer, so he naturally speaks from the perspective of a producer.

It was Shen Zhiwen's turn and he smiled: "I agree with what Mr. Ding just said. In terms of the subject matter and content of future movies, there will definitely be a scene where a hundred flowers bloom. One is the development of culture, which brings more new trends of thought. The other is capital investment. More of our data flow will be used for things that cannot be included in the original movie..." He said and looked at the phone: "I would also like to hear Director Wei's opinion on this. "

Upon seeing this, Shao Yuzhen smiled and supported: "As far as we know, all the film and television works directed by Director Wei so far are all with different themes, and they have achieved excellent results at the box office and reputation. The "Psychic Epidemic" has a great box office reputation. After Harvest, many places say that Director Wei is a walking film textbook. I am also curious, how does Director Wei view this issue? "

"You two are overly complimentary." Wei Lan on the phone was modest for a moment, and then said seriously: "The two of you have just summarized it, so I'll just talk about the specific directions that I think we can try..."

After hearing this, the host and guests all made a listening gesture, and the classroom became extremely quiet.

"I think it is also a good direction for storytelling to form a more open-ended plot model in an environment like the movie to increase the interaction between the audience and the movie world."

Shen Zhiwen asked with interest: "In addition to the director's perspective that you tried in "Psychic Epidemic", is it a way of hiding the plot from the actor's perspective?"

"Yes, this is one way." Wei Lan said without concealment: "Maybe there are other ways, such as letting the audience choose to interact with each other. The audience's choice determines the plot of the movie they will see next..."

Shao Yuzhen's eyes lit up: "It's like playing a game?"

Speaking of games, the students below remembered Director Wei's five-kill plot that was very popular during this period, and couldn't help but smile and make some buzz.

"Yes, it can even be combined with games, but of course, the experience is different, and it is different from real games, and the process design of this model, etc., the short-time method can be applied to movies, but it can also be used in dramas. This is It is a way to increase the sense of interaction for the audience. For example, the moment when many characters have a different thought determines the direction of the entire ending. The inclined audience can find the ending they want according to their favorite method..."

These words immediately made everyone present fall into thinking and imagination... Can movies still be shot like this?

Ding Chenghong and Shen Zhiwen couldn't help but think deeply after hearing this. After a while, Ding Chenghong said: "It is difficult to apply it in a movie mode in such a short time, which will make the audience come to the cinema repeatedly, or extend the length of the movie. For theaters, It’s not easy to arrange events.”

As a producer, the first thing he considers is the reaction of the application to the market.

Just like the model of "Psychic Epidemic" this time, the audience is willing to watch it three times. That is because when the plot is fully shown from the director's perspective, the audience spontaneously wants to find the hidden content, which forms this trend. upsurge.

When you saw the movie being released, when did Wei Lan and the producers take the initiative to say to the audience, "This movie has a lot of hidden content, please go to the cinema and watch it again to find out"?

It's okay for the audience to do this voluntarily, but if the producer tells the audience this, it would be strange not to be called a profiteer.

Regarding this, Wei Lan also agreed: "Yes, so what I am talking about is just another direction. I prefer the former way, adding richer content to future movies or film and television works. Don’t limit the audience to the director’s perspective.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhiwen's slightly frowned brows relaxed and he smiled again. He didn't want such a talented film director to really mess around with this game-like interactive film and television model.

Just listen to Wei Lan continue to conclude: "Our brains are always eager for more and various stories. This is the key to the various emotional values ​​​​that film and television works bring us. Interesting movies are the best representation of filmmakers... …”

"I think the way movies develop under this model is to give the audience more 'space' and 'visual windows', not to limit the audience to the narrow director's vision, but to truly create a vivid world where the story is happening. "

"This is the charm of Xi movies."

Wei Lan's tone was calm, but the scenes depicted in it really made the blood of several filmmakers boil.

The teachers present were half of the film and television industry, and the students were also future filmmakers. The scene was still for a few seconds, and Shen Zhiwen's hands trembled slightly, and he was the first to applaud.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

As if it was a switch, the audience burst into long applause.
