Chapter 1017 The sorrow of the little people who are not paid attention to
1017
"Speaking of the latest adaptation of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and Tukarev's latest cooperation, I feel that it may not have a very good box office. He even kept saying that he would completely follow the original work, and there would be almost no modifications. That's not true. Is it equivalent to reshooting the scenes and stories in the original game? It’s just superfluous.”
"That is, movies have souls, and directors also have their own consciousness. It is an insult to the film industry to simply follow the words of such capitalists to make such films without autonomy."
Jimmy and the others can be said to have very similar interests and subjective tendencies.
And they have one thing in common that none of them benefited from, which makes them feel very close to each other.
Jimmy smiled and said: "The magazine I manage will publish a few reviews about this kind of movie recently, mainly to criticize this kind of disadvantage that does not give us screenwriters and directors any autonomy. At that time, you can also Check it out, and post it on facebook if you're interested."
"Huh? Did you write the article?"
"Well, I have my signature and my participation."
"oh oh."
Several other people looked very respectful on their expressions, but they all knew very well in their hearts that Jimmy’s nonsense must never be believed. He probably squeezed an editor to write an article. He would at most give a general direction, and then Let them write it, and I may not be able to do it at all.
I really envy this guy, this guy has the social status of an editor-in-chief, which is still slightly different from pure screenwriters like them.
However, in order to have more promotion opportunities for the films they wrote in the future, they still have to follow Jimmy a little bit. In the future, maybe the magazine he manages can give their films a good word, or give them competition at the same time. Opponent black two.
They all have their own ghosts and have different purposes.
At this time, one of them suddenly remembered something, so he said, "By the way, besides the adaptation of Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted, there is another movie whose name has not been announced. Who is the director of this movie who will be Jimmy? Do you know?" ?"
Jimmy thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard about it, maybe the candidate hasn't been decided yet?"
"Then you say we...well, probably not, we are only screenwriters, and it may be difficult to become the director of this kind of movie."
Jimmy said casually: "Don't say that, in the future we will also embark on the path of directors sooner or later, we must always make our own movies, we can't always be in the screenwriting industry, in fact, we all have directors Strength is just a lack of a chance to show."
"Jimmy is right, but even if the director of this movie has not been fully determined, at least there will be a general direction."
Jimmy said: "I think it's most likely the director of the Resident Evil movie. That director is already well-known now, and having him film it will also have a certain reputation effect."
Someone said unconvinced: "Hmph, this guy just caught up with the good times, and half of his fame is exaggerated."
This and that director of Resident Evil entered the film and television industry at the same time. Before the Resident Evil movie, that is, the Zombie World War movie in this world, was made, he and that director had almost the same status, and they were both from the bottom. Fight.
Then he got lucky and suddenly became the director hired by Tukarev.
There is another rumor, that is, the director was also an avid gamer before. He was very excited when he heard that a video game would be made into a movie, and it was his favorite Resident Evil work. People are not optimistic about eating the first crab when a game is adapted into a film and television.
The final result is naturally everyone's happy. With the foundation of a mature commercial film like World War Z, as long as the ability is not bad, the general director can make quite good.
Several sympathetic people got together and chatted for a long time, and then they said goodbye and left.
A few days later, magazine articles, as well as articles by these screenwriters, began to gradually circulate on the Internet.
Their main argument is that this kind of one-pot stew movie with various IPs is easy to make the audience tired, and at the same time, it is easy to produce aesthetic fatigue just by simply integrating various characters into one movie.
All kinds of video game styles are different.
May I ask, can you imagine that Cloud in the remake of Final Fantasy 7 can stand with the 2.5D style of the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild?
No matter how you look at it, it is quite inconsistent.
Because they still have a certain social status, there are quite a lot of people who agree with their views.
Gradually attacking this big IP film seems to be a routine operation in the film industry.
It seems that if you don't spray it, you are not qualified to hang out in this industry.
However, it is a little strange that there are quite a few people who criticize this movie in the middle and low-level film and television circles.
But when the class rose to a higher level, those well-known directors, screenwriters and others kept silent.
Even if some people in the industry contacted them to ask them to comment on the movie of this big IP collection, they were more cautious, but expressed that the filming style of this movie was relatively new and would be very challenging.
Jimmy's behavior didn't cause much trouble, which made him feel a little restless.
He felt that his social influence had been challenged, so he immediately arranged for his own people to publish more articles.
But most of them are still gone, and there are no more people who respond.
And just when he wanted to continue to do something, Tukarev suddenly announced one thing, that is, the director of the big IP movie and the final naming of the movie.
The name of the movie is directly given by Zhu Youxing: "Ready Player One"
The specific worldview also reveals a little bit, it will be a dystopian society in the future, people have high technology, but the per capita living standard is not high, so people began to indulge in the world of video games, where they can find some joy.
Then there is the final choice of director.
Jesse Hallmill, a living fossil in the film industry, announced that he would take over the directorship of this film, and the biggest reason he chose to direct this film was to challenge an unknown territory again.
The various genres of the film industry have become more and more mature, and he, the living fossil of the film industry, has long been bored.
But this kind of movie that mixes games of various art styles is very interesting.
Maybe there will be no improvement in shooting techniques and other aspects, but putting so many cultural IPs together, how to make so many things not feel inconsistent is a challenge, a challenge that a director like him is most willing to accept.
And after learning that the final candidate for the director is a living fossil of the film industry, Jimmy immediately shut up.
Just kidding, if he dares to criticize that movie now, it is tantamount to making an enemy of the movie industry. His thinking is still normal, and he even deleted and blocked all the articles publicly criticized on the Internet without hesitation, for fear that there will be more Many people saw it and looked for his old account.
It’s just that the Internet has memory, and there are no secrets on the Internet, it just depends on whether you are worthy of attention.
It's just that he was a little lucky, and he hasn't been paid attention to by top bosses like Zhu Youxing and Tukarev.
This may also be another kind of sorrow, the sorrow of the little people who are not paid attention to.
Just hilarious.
