The rise of the country from the entertainment industry

Chapter 259 The End of Literary Movies Is Commercial Movies
Jiang Li is the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine", which many people have discovered.

But I didn't expect that "Farewell My Concubine" was actually a screenwriter-centered system.

I didn't expect it to be "centered" to such an extent.

But no one doubted that Zhang Mou was lying.

Because of this kind of thing, you can just interview a few crew members to verify it, and lying is meaningless.

"So Mr. Jiang is self-directed and self-acted?"

"Impossible, it's just that Director Zhang is not greedy for credit. There must be an element of modesty in this statement. His contribution to the film is indispensable. If you change the director, the film may not be as good."

"But the presentation of the scenes is determined by the script. It is estimated that, as Director Zhang said, the real leader of this movie is Mr. Jiang..."

"This is the absolute centralization of the screenwriter's core system. I have only seen it in Hollywood before. I really didn't expect to see this form in Huaguo!"

Although the reporters who interviewed were a little surprised, they didn't intend to let them go so easily.

"Using the screenwriter-centered system, do you feel that your talents cannot be displayed or are restricted everywhere?"

At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast had already become irritable.

These two questions are basically trying to provoke the relationship between Jiang Li and Zhang Mou!

However, Zhang Mou was not flustered, and said calmly: "Whether it is a screenwriter-centered system or a director-centered system, the essential purpose is for a better presentation of the movie. Everyone is for a better final effect of the movie."

"I don't think I can do better than Mr. Jiang. Besides, people who really know how to do it should know that even in a crew with a screenwriting core system, the importance of a director cannot be ignored for a movie. If there is a problem, I will I will also discuss changes with Mr. Jiang, everyone knows Mr. Jiang's character, he is not that kind of dictator."

Zhang Mou didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He is not short of fame now, let alone money.

Willing to join the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" is purely a joy to see Liexin.

As for whether the filming is directed by others, Zhang Mou does not pursue this.

In his eyes, Jiang Li is a monster, a real super genius!
Jiang Li grew up very fast, this person is like a sponge, he can absorb knowledge and experience crazily.

In Farewell My Concubine, I actually just played the role of icing on the cake.

If it wasn't for catching up with the New Year holidays, it was for borrowing his connections.

Jiang Li can completely direct and act on his own.

Just like what he confided with Jiang Li at the "Farewell My Concubine" finale banquet.

"Brother, I'm in the film field. What honors haven't I won? But it's really the first time I've directed a work of the level of "Farewell My Concubine". I also want to thank you."

Jiang Li saw that he was putting it on, so he followed his words and said, "Uncle Zhang is a big thank you, I have to thank you!"

When Zhang Mou heard it, he was humble, but in fact, the pores all over his body stretched out, feeling extremely refreshed.

He has decided that Jiang Li's talent is far superior to his own.

Anyone who has worked with this kind of monster will know how outrageous he is!

It is indeed a bit refreshing to let this evildoer boast about himself.

Seeing Zhang Mou's old cannon showing no flaws, the gunpowder-filled female reporter turned her head to look at Jiang Li.

But he couldn't help but blushed.

"Mr. Jiang is as handsome as ever, and the show has traffic." She joked.

Jiang Li's route has always been in ancient costumes.

But it was an interview after all, so he wasn't wearing an ancient costume, and the suit wasn't suitable either.

The clothes that Tong Ningyi prepared for him were a bit like Chinese tunic suits, but slightly different.

Not to mention, it is very neat to wear, and the whole person looks very energetic and handsome.

"Literary and artistic films are called box office poison. Since Teacher Jiang is the center of the crew, what do you think of the current situation of literary and artistic films?"

Her interview questions finally captured the core focus.

In today's society, audiences have less fragmented time, and everyone is using and distributing it at a high speed.

Emotional expression is the main focus, "no pain, no itching", full of literary and artistic films, it is difficult to concentrate the audience's viewing emotions, it is difficult to generate popular topics, it is difficult to airborne hot searches, and naturally it cannot get the audience's response.

Whether it's a literary film wrapped in suspense, or a film that directly expresses one's heart, the overly conscious emotional expression, even if you watch it, you will be dominated by the "cloudy and foggy" viewing experience.

It can also be found on film review websites that the number of ratings for literary and artistic films is very small, even less than some bad commercial films that have received more attention.

It's like "Planet Fortress", which is almost rotten into a meme now.

Especially the phrase "fire at me" was directly made into an emoticon package.

The scolding of bad commercial films at least shows that there is still "hotness", while literary films without popularity always give people the feeling that they are always quietly released and quietly removed from the shelves.

But the birth of "Farewell My Concubine" undoubtedly injected a boost to literary films.

Jiang Li responded with a smile: "Actually, we also took advantage of the investment. The shooting cost of many literary and artistic films is not high, and the expected box office is not high, so in terms of content, it seems that we are looking forward and backward, and neglecting others."

The female reporter asked: "The biggest method of commercial films is not to focus most of the audience in the same emotion and judgment, while literary films are just the opposite to give the public something to think about?"

"There is no problem with this sentence, but if you only think about it for yourself, it will be difficult to mobilize the audience's emotions, and it will be difficult to generate hot topics and box office results."

Jiang Li shook his head, and added: "You can't have both, if you want to make money at the box office, you need to be down-to-earth, don't play tricks and profound principles that the audience can't understand, just imagine, a person who only pursues the unfathomable Even the judges and professionals can’t understand a literary film, so how can it satisfy the audience?”

"Then, how can a literary film that only follows the trend to please the audience without any ideological connotation get a high score?" the reporter asked without hesitation.

Even Zhang Mou couldn't help but nodded.

This is also the difficulty faced by every literary film director.

Every director who wants to make a good literary film is mostly a literary person who "comes out of the mud but not stained", unwilling to follow the trend, and just wants to maintain his own maverick in the impetuous society.

But such feelings are incomprehensible. In reality, one after another resounding box office slaps have caused serious work of literary and art creators to suffer.

It is difficult for them to balance both pleasing the audience and showing a certain "height" and connotation.

In recent years, most of the so-called literary and artistic films that have been successful at the box office in theaters have only figured out the audience's tastes and achieved targeted pseudo-literary and fast-consuming works.

"In my opinion, the end of literary films is commercial films." Jiang Li said.
