Chapter 1129： gorgeous

It is actually very easy to arrange Qingtian into the film school.

It would be good for Tang En to say hello to Mr. Han directly.

A word from Mr. Han.

However, Dunn still chose to trouble Laomouzi.

The relationship between Tang En and Mr. Han is an official relationship, and he can't waste it for the trivial matter of going to school.

Tang En and Laomouzi are personal friends and friends, and it is more convenient to deal with such private matters.

Tonight is a night shot, and it is the big scene of the palace coup at the core of the whole movie.

Tang En pretended to read the split-shot script and nodded, "It seems that the theme expressed by this film is very consistent with "Thunderstorm"."

Lao Mouzi said with a smile: "Indeed, this is not a soap opera, it is a drama full of tension. With the tone of "Thunderstorm", the theme of the film will be very profound."

"It's too profound to be banned. From what I understand, "Thunderstorm" was banned back then."

"Haha, worry too much! Think too much! That group of people can't understand, even if there are people who understand, there are very few, and the common people will definitely not understand."

This is probably a common problem for artists.

From "The Promise" to "Golden Armor in the City", and then to "The Banquet", the three mainland directors seem to be very confident in their works, and what is more questionable is the audience's appreciation level.

Tang En hesitated for a moment and said, "Since it is the theme of "Thunderstorm", the depth of the core must be enough, and when I see the footage in your photo album, there is indeed a morbid struggle of the royal family and a sense of solemnity of the ancient Greek tragedy. And the sense of form. But I have a little doubt, this picture... will it be too gorgeous?"

Lao Mouzi said confidently: "Yes, that's what we want. The brilliance of the colors is just an appearance. It also represents a wild gushing emotion, which is driven by the tone."

Artist directors such as Kai Ge and Lao Mouzi, it would be too hasty if their films were simply evaluated as good or bad. Everyone has different understandings of art and pursuit of different expressions.

The difference is that some people's art is public.

Some people's artistic views are difficult to popularize.

There are very few directors in the world who can play both art films and commercial films at the same time.

Dunn expressed a different point of view, "I think the sense of hierarchy is very important. Excessive flamboyance, continuous spraying, will reduce the progression of feelings. Red flowers must be matched with green leaves to be more gorgeous. "Schindler's List" The black-and-white imagery created the poignant and beautiful red of the little girl like blood. You want to express a profound theme in the film, but the excessively gorgeous images lacking contrast will only draw the attention of the audience.”

Of course Laomouzi understands such a simple truth.

After being silent for a while, Laomouzi sighed, "Tang En, you still don't understand China's film market well enough."

"what?"

Dunn felt a little strange.

I do not understand?

Laomouzi said: "American audiences have accepted the influence of the film culture for hundreds of years. There is a big market for commercial films, and a small market for literary films. As long as it is a good film, there will be room for survival. However, it is different in China. Our films are talented How many years? The movies 20 years ago were all about that ideology, so they weren't movies at all. Our audience is still very ignorant of movies."

Dunn is also not unfamiliar with this kind of argument.

Brother Kai, Zhang Ke, and Jiang Wen have all made similar remarks, and Xiao Gangzi even bluntly stated that it was because too many garbage audiences led to garbage movies.

Qing Tian blinked her eyes in disbelief, "Director, this... won't it?"

Laomouzi greeted his assistant, poured two cups of herbal tea for Tang En and Qingtian, and said, "Last year there was a domestic film "The World", have you seen it?"

Qing Tian blushed slightly and shook her head.

Tang En smiled and said, "The one from Section Chief Jia?"

Laomouzi gave a thumbs up, "Yes, that's the one, it won a lot of awards at the European Film Festival. In the end, it was released in China, how much was the box office? 100,000 yuan! Xiao Jia's documentary audio-visual language is popular all over the world. The avant-garde films are all top-notch and very experimental. When they arrive in China, the audience can't eat this set. Why? No stars, no scenes, too deep."

Sweet and weak said: "Is it too sharp? Chinese people don't like to criticize the motherland."

Laomouzi shook his head and said, "You are still young, you don't understand. Passing the censorship means you have received official approval. Criticism and realistic innuendo are the essence of art films. Official approval means that even if there is criticism, it is still there. Within the scope of permission. Criticism makes people progress. In the 21st century, we can’t continue to pursue a unified ideology, right?”

As he spoke, he laughed at himself, shook his head, no longer complained, but continued to expound his views on the film: "The world is such an excellent film, the box office is 100,000. There was another film last year, directed by Wang Jing. The "Courtesy on the Sign", a big bad film, needs a plot without plot, logic without logic, and depth without depth, and ended up with a box office of 7 million! How ridiculous do you say?"

Qingtian blushed and said with some shame: "I saw that movie, it was quite... quite interesting. This is a commercial film, and it has a higher box office than a literary film, is it normal?"

Laomouzi nodded, "Commercial films have higher box office than literary films, which is normal. But bad films have higher box office than good ones, which is a big problem. Do you know the overseas market? "World" sells copyrights in Europe and earns a lot of money 3.5 million US dollars, a full 20 million yuan. "Courtesy on the Sign" is less than 10 million box office in the world. This is normal logic, good films should make more money than bad ones. "

Qing Tian was a little bit at a loss for words. Seeing that Tang En had been drinking tea silently, he stretched out his hand and pulled him, and whispered, "Godfather..."

Tang En raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, old Zhang, this is the status quo under the changing times, and there is no rush. The mainland's film market must be healthier than Russia, right? It's better than Eastern Europe? Disappeared. What else do you want? The current film mechanism in Hollywood has only been born in the past 20 years. The tortuous history of Hollywood has gone through many detours. Take your time! Tell me about your film?"

Lao Mouzi's face looked much better, and then he shook his head and laughed: "Of course the development of the country is good, forget it, let's not mention this." After a pause, he said: "That's what I think, a domestic film with a profound theme. It's not flattering, or... This kind of film is very repelled by domestic audiences. It is precisely the foreign market that pursues artistic conception and themes. If you want to sell well at home, there is also a market internationally. It is necessary to use some special means to shoot a certain type of film. Feature film."

Tang En suddenly realized, "You mean the blockbuster has a visual sense?"

Laomouzi said: "The domestic movie market is very unhealthy. Before the movie is released, pirated discs come out. At first glance, it is a collusion between the cinema and the pirates. How angry do you think? The pirated market is so developed, who will go to the cinema. If you want to pull the audience into the movie theater in this environment, the movie theater must have a completely different viewing experience from the home theater. This is the necessity of blockbusters in this era. Do you know what the people usually say?' Go, go to the movie?', No, it's 'Go, go to the blockbuster.'"

Dunn nodded, that's the truth.

"House of Flying Daggers" was sprayed into a dog, and it turned out to be the runner-up at the box office in 2004, ahead of a series of Hollywood blockbusters such as "The Lord of the Rings 3", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter". This year's box office champion is "Kung Fu".

"The Promise" was sprayed into a dog, and it turned out to be the box office champion in 2005, ahead of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Harry Potter", "Star Wars Episode 3", "Mrs. Smith" and "War of the Worlds".

"The Golden Armor in the City" and "The Banquet" were both sprayed into dogs. As a result, they were the box office champion and runner-up in 2006, and continued to represent domestic films to crush Hollywood.

These films are almost identical.

Before this model, Hollywood blockbusters such as "Titanic", "Life and Death" and "Pearl Harbor" led the mainland film market. After this model, it became the world of "Transformers", "2012", "Avatar", "Fast and Furious".

From "Hero" in cynicism to "Night Banquet" in endless scolding, this model has helped domestic films resist the Hollywood blockbuster that swept the world.

Laomouzi said frankly: "Choose the theme and philosophy that Western audiences like, and choose the gorgeous visual sense that mainland audiences like, which is the core of making money for this type of film."

Tang En was silent for a while, and some disapproved, "movies can have different expressions, but I heard... You chose a singer who has never acted as the protagonist?"

Qing Tian said: "I know, it's Zhou Jilun!"

Laomouzi said: "This is the producer's request. The past two films, "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", the audience was mainly between 25 and 45 years old. There are not many teenagers. Pick one The most popular singer of the moment helps bring the youth group into the cinema."

Tang En smiled and said, "You have compromised!"

Laomouzi said helplessly: "This is also impossible. Since I took over this project, I must be responsible for the investment."

Tang En waved his hand and stretched out, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. What are you going to shoot in the next movie?"

Laomouzi laughed suddenly, "Where is the next film? After filming this, we will be busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. That is the image of the country It must not be sloppy."

Tang En said: "I thought of a historical story, which is very interesting. When you finish the Olympic Games, maybe you can try it."

"Oh?"

"It's a Chinese historical story. It's very moving. Every time I think about this story, I get an inexplicable feeling of moving."

Qingtian was very interested, tilted her head and asked, "Godfather, what's the story?"

Tang En said with a smile: "I know, and you must have heard of the story of Wen Tianxiang being captured by the Mongols in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty and vowing to die."

Qing Tian shook her head with a charming smile and said, "I know that since ancient times, no one has died in life, and they will keep their hearts and minds in the history!"
