The rise of the country from the entertainment industry

Chapter 232 The Death of Literary Movies

In the face of everyone's curiosity, Jiang Li's words were indistinct.

Mr. Deng laughed angrily and said, "You boy, we are not paparazzi, why are you guarding us so much?"

"Or, you are a guilty conscience, and you are on two boats?"

The old man said jokingly.

Jiang Li was stunned and a little guilty.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother certainly knew the inside story, but they are still hesitating.

The woman the son mentioned seemed to be his assistant.

I have also seen photos online a few times.

As beautiful as Xiaoyu, but more mature.

"This kid..." Father Jiang muttered, "Why do you owe a lot of love debts outside?"

Mother Jiang asked with a half-smile: "Why, are you envious?"

Oops……

Father Jiang's goosebumps fell all over the ground, and his desire to survive was extremely strong: "Hehehe, how is it possible, I am an honest person, and I only love my wife!"

That night, Jiang Li brought Shen Ling back home.

"Mom and Dad! We're back."

Jiang Li pushed open the door, followed by a nervous Shen Ling.

The two carried gifts in large and small bags.

But as soon as he entered the door, Jiang Li was stunned.

"Little, Xiaoyu!" The corner of his mouth twitched, "Why are you here?"

When Mu Yu saw Shen Ling behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile.

"Welcome back, Brother Li."

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, who were hiding in the room, looked at each other.

They all saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

The scene of the meteor hitting the earth did not appear.

Mu Yu also behaved very normally, and even pulled Shen Ling to ask questions.

Such enthusiasm made Shen Ling feel embarrassed.

And Jiang Li was fidgeting on one side the whole time.

But generally speaking, this meeting was a surprise and the result was good.

After Jiang Li and Shen Ling left, the smile on Mu Yu's face disappeared immediately.

Without a word, he returned to his room.

"Ah!" Mother Jiang sighed, "What a crime!"

………………

Although the employees of Yanhuang Studio are on vacation.

But the operation of the new movie cannot be postponed.

The production of "Farewell My Concubine" has also been prepared, and the production news has also been released.

The turmoil that had not yet dissipated was stirred up again by Jiang Li in an instant.

"??? Today is the Spring Festival, not April Fool's Day?"

"Mr. Jiang, we don't want to be so scary. Anyway, starting to make a movie in a year is too outrageous."

"It's not a mess, it's a direct split!"

"Ms. Jiang, why doesn't she always take the usual path..."

"'Farewell My Concubine'? It sounds a bit retro, isn't Mr. Jiang just playing for tickets?"

Compared with ordinary netizens, people in the entertainment industry got more news.

"Farewell My Concubine" is a literary film...

Who gave Jiang Li the courage to directly make literary films?
Both those who understand movies and those who don't understand movies are silent.

"This, you want to ascend to the sky in one step?"

"Ham, no matter what, there is a gimmick. We have been filming for so many years, and it is not as loud as when someone took the first step."

"A bit curious about the cast and production team..."

"Do you think Jiang Li plans to direct and act on his own?"

"Impossible, that's too outrageous, right?"

Many actors began to wonder who the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" would offer an olive branch to.

And these people who received the olive branch will make such a choice?
At the same time, which actors with ulterior motives will take the initiative to post it, fight for the role by themselves, and fight for this opportunity by themselves?
You know, the competition in the industry is becoming more and more fierce now. As soon as many major productions are announced to be in preparation, countless actors will try their best and even use all means to win the role.

But from the current point of view, the risk factor of "Farewell My Concubine" is very large.

Literary films are big pits.

Is there any domestic director who can make a popular literary film?
There is no market for literary films!

During this time, Feng Ligang paid more attention to Jiang Li.

When he learned that Jiang Li planned to make a literary film, he made a direct phone call.

"Xiao Jiang, I heard that you plan to make a literary film?" Feng Ligang frowned slightly
"Director Feng, you are the fourth person to ask me this question today." Jiang Li's tone was full of helplessness, "I really am determined to make a literary film, Director Feng, you don't have to persuade me."

Feng Ligang didn't give up, and asked instead: "Even no one buys tickets for Lao Mo's literary films, do you think you can understand literary films better than Lao Mou?"

The old Mou he was talking about was also a famous director on the same level as him - Zhang Mou.

Zhang Mou is good at commercial films, and his work style is also known for Beijing-style comedies.

As a banner of commercial films, Feng Ligang not only created one film after another with good market appeal, but also formed a commercial film aesthetic system that combines linear narrative and comedy genre.

In recent years, the hottest literary and artistic films have been his works.

After the movie was released, public opinion generally showed a three-way fight.

On the one hand, ordinary audiences who watched in a cloud of mist, were tricked into the theater by the false propaganda of commercial comedy, holding popcorn and did not wait for the relaxing moment of laughing.

As a result, I spent money, couldn't read it, and gave a bad review.

On the one hand is a literary youth with considerable literary literacy, who is deeply moved by the Shakespeare-like thinking in the film and the various famous dialogues blurted out.

Directly call Director Zhang understands me, Director Zhang is awesome.

On the other hand, Qianfan is a movie viewer who has done everything he can, and directly classifies it as an outdated movie that is purely self-satisfied.

This literary film won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Fame is given by others, but the box office has to be earned by oneself.

Whether this high-profile literary film can successfully face the test of the market and the public is the key point.

No one's money comes from the wind.

Investors only value box office returns.

But in the final result, the box office was only 5000 million after it was released for a week, which can be said to be very dismal.

Faced with this situation, even Zhang Mou was a little frustrated, and even joked to himself: "This movie is for the box office in the mainland market."

Even Zhang Mou, the director who is best at making literary films, can't handle it, and others are even more daunted.

At any time, poor box office seems to be the original sin of literary films, and has little to do with the release schedule.

However, Zhang Mou has since become a director who walks between business and art.

On the one hand, he insists on the line of commercial films, on the other hand, he is unwilling to give up the pursuit of art, so when he makes commercial films, he has many dimensions and orientations that focus on reality.

He started with a ridiculous but slightly rough treatment, and then gradually discovered the essence of the times in his film works. This approach from the shallower to the deeper allowed him to find a dual-track path between entertainment and art.
