rising director

"That is to say, now that the market is just getting in touch, and we haven't done our own exploration, many young people are desperate to make movies. Is it so easy to make movies? There is no accumulation of time. How can you make an excellent movie if you don’t put your mind down and think about the before and after?” The old filmmaker couldn’t stop talking.

"What is the biggest ethos? It lies in deception! Deceive the audience, give the audience some vulgar things, things that no one cares about, and poison the audience. This is the greatest shame! We must not tolerate such filmmakers. He must be prevented from going out, and he must be made to realize his mistake."

Listening to the old filmmaker's chorus, Wan Xiaohu couldn't hold back his face at that time.

Although these people were not named, it was clear at a glance who they were targeting.

Criticism is just criticism, Wan Xiaohu was a little guilty for releasing the navy tactics to himself.

But these are not only criticisms, but also want to cut off Wan Xiaohu's way. Even the words "to appease" and "put an end to" to deal with traitors and villains are used on him.

That's all, but they even labeled Wan Xiaohu as vulgar and indecent.

Wan Xiaohu only felt that a little bit of guilt had turned into anger.

Clenching his fist, Wan Xiaohu swallowed back the words he wanted to curse.If others don't call names now, they rush up by themselves, isn't it self-inflicted.Being upright is not afraid of shadows, Wan Xiaohu admits that he is a little shadowy in publicity, but the movie is by no means vulgar and obscene, so he is not afraid of their criticism.

However, Wan Xiaohu endured it, but someone exploded.

Feng Xiaogang was about to pat the table: "I just want to ask all the seniors, outstanding seniors, what kind of movie is a good movie? A movie that only ten audiences applaud and like to watch. Is this a good movie? ?A movie that 1000 million viewers applaud and like to watch, is this a bad movie? What is the standard you define? People care? I want to know, as love is an eternal theme of human beings, which movie depicts love? A little vulgar?"

Without waiting for the old filmmaker to refute, Feng Xiaogang continued: "Some people say that comedies are vulgar, and some say that romantic dramas are vulgar. I don't understand why audiences like to watch comedies and love dramas. Do you think that audiences are all vulgar? Don't you deserve to enjoy the so-called good movies with human care? We always say that Chinese movies should follow the market-oriented route, but when a movie is accepted by the market, everyone comes out to say that people don't care enough. Could it be that no one is going to shoot and give away tickets? The art films you watch are in line with the market? If commercial films don’t build up the market, how can art films survive, and who will they be filmed for?”

"You can't say that. The market belongs to the market. After all, we are shooting movies, artists, not showing off in the streets. If movies are not artistic, what is the point of earning one billion or eight billion? Vulgarity is Not acceptable!"

"Old Liu is right. We would rather not have box office without art."

"Feng Xiaogang, let's discuss, let's talk about the facts, don't always automatically substitute yourself. I'll just say it, "My Sassy Girl" is a typical example of vulgarity..."

Wan Xiaohu couldn't sit still, and stood up: "This Mr. Zhao, I am the director of "My Sassy Girl". I accept your point of view, vulgarity is not advisable. I just want to ask Mr. Zhao. Have you been to the cinema to watch a movie?"

"I didn't take the time." Mr. Zhao didn't know why.

"So have you been to my movie premiere?"

"How can I have this leisure time."

Wan Xiaohu nodded and smiled: "This movie of mine has been kept secret from the very beginning, in order to prevent piracy. The copies are all numbered and sold, and each copy is marked. You can tell it at a glance. As far as I know, there is no clear pirated version on the market. So far, in the mainland, movies have only been released in premieres and theaters. You have never been to the cinema, and you have not attended the premiere , I must have never seen the movie, you have never seen the movie, you say the movie is vulgar, I really don't understand this point."

popping.

As if Mr. Zhao had been slapped twice on the face, he blushed on the spot and coughed.

Feng Xiaogang laughed at the side.

He has had a lot of fun celebrating the new year in the past few years, but he has been criticized endlessly, and he has been called vulgar.This was also the reason why he spoke out angrily just now, and now hearing what Wan Xiaohu said, he was immediately overjoyed.

Calling you Ya Yi Lao sells the old, you will be slapped in the face by the younger generation.

After Wan Xiaohu finished speaking, most of the indignation in his heart disappeared, and he sat down calmly.These old filmmakers used to seldom talk, but this time they attacked him together, without Li Tianer's handwriting behind them, Wan Xiaohu didn't believe it.However, after all, he is an old man who has made a little contribution to Chinese movies.

With a slap in the face and a warning, Wan Xiaohu didn't continue to slap his face. In essence, he was still willing to respect the old and love the young.

Along with Mr. Zhao's cough, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to freeze.

The old movie people who were standing on the moral high ground felt that their feet were empty. They rushed over to ask the crime this time, but they didn't pay much attention to "My Sassy Girl", and they didn't even know that there was such a thing as Wan Xiaohu No. people.

I don't know the enemy's truth or reality, which is a big taboo for military strategists!

0147【I want to buy a plane】

Walking out of the conference room, Zhang Yuan hugged Wan Xiaohu directly.

"You are so powerful. Did you see that Zhao's face at that time was the same color as sauced pork liver. In the meeting later, I was always worried, because I was afraid that he would not be able to think about it, and he would not be able to catch it all at once. Then your little one?" It became famous completely. In ancient times, Zhuge Liang scolded Wang Lang to death, but now Wan Xiaohu pissed old man Zhao to death."

Wan Xiaohu was speechless: "If I really pissed him off, then I wouldn't be drowned in saliva, so I wouldn't mess around in the movie circle. To be honest, if I wanted to bear it before, I can just scold him, as long as I don't name names, It's nothing special. Maybe the more you scold, the more the audience will like to watch it. But this old guy just made it clear and called me vulgar and indecent, and the clay figurine is still three-pointed, not to mention that I'm not a clay figurine, and I don't have such a good temper. .”

"Hey, just wait and see. Even if you give them some leeway today, tomorrow, when they go back to finish watching "My Sassy Girl" and keep dozens of chapters scolding you, they will still be published in the newspaper."

"It's okay to be in the newspaper, then continue to scold. Zhang Yuan, let me pass on a secret to you. The box office of a movie does not depend on how many good reviews the movie has. In fact, it depends more on whether someone scolds you. If someone scolds you, it means you are popular Yes, the more you scold, the more people come in to watch, this is called joining in the fun! Everyone likes to join in the fun." Wan Xiaohu laughed loudly.

There is no director who has not been scolded, and it is hard to say. Even James Cameron, who filmed "Titanic", was scolded by many people back then.

It's not realistic at all to try to please everyone these days.If you want to please most people, then you are a commercial director.If you don't want to please most people, you're an art director.Wan Xiaohu, what he wants to do now is a commercial director, first earn money and fame.Come back to art later.

As long as the audience likes him, a few old filmmakers, who cares!

Because the meeting was not very pleasant, everyone didn't go to the organizer's banquet, so Wan Xiaohu and Zhang Yuan, a few young directors, went out for a drink.

at night.Wang Zhonglei came over again.

"Xiaohu, why did you get up with an old guy at the film festival today?"

"It's not that I want to quarrel with them, it's that they probably took the aphrodisiac medicine Li Tianer gave, and they acted like they were rejuvenated one by one, pouring dirty water on me. I couldn't help but retaliate It took a while, and I didn't dare to exert any force at all, and I was afraid that they would be pissed off."

Wang Zhonglei nodded: "Sooner or later, Li Tianer will give him a fairy jump, so that he can understand that the more he jumps, the harder he falls! However, I had tea with the judges of several film festivals in the afternoon. When I heard the news, many old people followed me. They say hello, to put an end to giving you this year's award."

"What? These old guys are too shameless, right? What do the judges say?" Although Wan Xiaohu didn't care about a few small awards, he didn't want to be taken away from his own things.

"The judges are under a lot of pressure. Many of these old people are their teachers, and their influence in the industry has not yet dissipated. But don't worry. Whether it is the teacher-student relationship or any influence, there is no real money. The movie is currently in theaters, and there are still DVDs to be sold in the future. If I don’t win an award, it will have a great impact. I have already done my job. I don’t want the award that should not be ours, and the generals who should not be us can’t run away. Right.”

"Brother Lei is so agile." Wan Xiaohu gave a thumbs up, very satisfied with the cooperation with Huayi Brothers.As a private enterprise, the rise of Huayi Brothers is entirely due to the two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei who are good at dancing.any industry.No human affairs can be separated from communication.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes.

The same is true in the film industry, especially during the awards period, there is never any fairness.Even if it is an authority like the Oscars, major films have to conduct public relations against the Olympics, and they have to put down their arrogance to canvass votes and buy favors.

Awards are money.As long as you win an award, it will not only affect the box office at that time, but also affect future sales, because after the end of the promotion period, the movie can still sell money, and it can only rely on the pile of awards left over from that year.This is the same as hype. Only hype can sell tickets, and winning awards can gain attention.

Wan Xiaohu currently makes movies for the sake of money and fame, so naturally he will not be hypocritical, pretending to be high-spirited and not hyped does not want awards.

"I don't do things like you young people who draw swords at each other when they don't agree with each other. Whether it's hypocrisy or tact, the scene is always passable... This time, you have to be ready to win the award, "My Sassy Girlfriend "Although we hired people to praise it, the movie was really liked, my little niece called me after watching the movie and asked me to help her get Jun Ji-hyun's autograph."

"It's not easy to get an autograph. Jeon Ji-hyun is an actress we signed, and we can have as many as you want." Wan Xiaohu laughed.

Wang Zhonglei shook his head: "The water in the manager's bowl is not deep, so why do you mix it in?"

"No matter how shallow the water is, it's still water. You Huayi Brothers just let it leak out through your fingers. I don't plan to expand this business. Now the Dandelion Film Company is spreading it here and there. Let’s talk about it later. No one knows how the Chinese entertainment industry will develop in the future, and we must not miss the shortcoming. By the way, how to promote the next stage, Brother Lei, have you made a plan?”

"After the first week's results, the second week will be much easier. I also plan to withdraw the navy first. After all, I will beg for food in this circle in the future, and I will have to rely on the breath of the film group. If I continue, I will offend Han San. Father is not well."

"That's right, Sanye Han can't be offended." Wan Xiaohu thinks that, Sanye Han is in the Chinese movie circle, that is, he is the emperor. No matter how many movies, even if they don't hit eight poles, they have to add Sanye Han's name to the list. Movie.

"But having said that, there is still a lot to do in publicity. I guess you haven't noticed two pieces of news. "Waiting Alone" will be broadcast on CCTV on the 6th. You can get popular again and increase your attention. , This is a publicity point. Second, "Butterfly Effect" has been contacted by many companies in North America to buy the distribution rights, which is also a publicity point."

"It will be aired on CCTV 6?" Wan Xiaohu was a little excited.

Now that movies are shown in cinemas, after all, they are too high-end and the audience is small, so they won't be popular at all.The seemingly enthusiastic publicity is useless, and [-]% of the audience still choose to watch TV at home.
