variety show director

And countless reporters came to Hengdian Film and Television City on August 28, because today the crew of "The Last Days" will hold the opening ceremony here.

This kind of ceremony originated in Xiangjiang, where the commercial operation of film and television dramas was earlier than in China. There are no fixed rules for the objects of worship. Those who believe in Buddhism worship Bodhisattvas, Taoists worship gods, and those who don’t believe in anything worship their ancestors or even Guan Gong. Luban has it all.

One of the more famous ones is the White Dragon King of Thailand. At that time, Lin Jianyue’s Media Asia Film Company feared the downturn in the market and held a very ostentatious worship opening ceremony. The name of the movie was changed to "Infernal Affairs" at the suggestion of the White Dragon King. It sold out in the end.

Now the words are more of a symbolic meaning, similar to the opening ceremony, groundbreaking ceremony, crew mobilization meeting, but also to attract attention and win attention.

Of course, because there are many uncertain factors that are difficult to control, such as the actor’s illness, natural disasters and man-made disasters, the shutdown will cause a lot of expenses, so I pray for God’s blessing, sometimes the machine is broken and so on. Expected loss, please feel at ease after goodbye.

Furthermore, those who shoot horror films, after all, many times the filming locations are so-called "haunted houses", so it is natural to pay for the possible "existence".

Since it is a custom, Su Yan naturally will not destroy it.

At 100:[-] in the morning, which was an auspicious time, he brought more than [-] actors and staff to face Emperor Guan, and began to worship under the guidance of a special person.

Afterwards, he went to the place where the pig's head, fruit, pastry and other offerings were placed, and lit the incense in his hand with a pious face. After three obeisances to Brother Guan again, after silently chanting his expectations for the next shooting, Gently insert it into the incense burner, and the actors behind do the same.

The whole process took about an hour. In the end, Su Yan walked to the side and lifted the red cloth covering the camera. After everyone gave warm applause, Li Cheng, everyone stood together and took a family portrait.

It's still early, the first shot will be shot in the afternoon, and the rest of the time will be handed over to the reporters present.

Lao Hu, Wu Jing was not on the scene, but Chi Chi was really awesome. He rushed over from Yanjing for the special show. You know, his scenes for the whole drama are estimated to be less than 2 minutes.

Soon, Su Yan sat in the interview booth with the three leading actors and supporting roles, and the flashing lights basically never stopped.

Lao Wang was very happy, and he came down to be the host himself.

"Welcome to the colleagues and journalists who came to the launch site of "The Last Days"... Now let's start asking questions freely."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless reporters raised their hands.

Su Yan pointed at one at random.

"Director Su, as far as I know, although you graduated from the directing department, the focus of your work in recent years has been on variety shows. As a movie virgin, is the investment of 4 million yuan too risky?"

It can only be said that this reporter is already very face-saving, and he didn't make his words too clear. The subtext is that as a rookie, if you dare to invest [-] million, you are not afraid of losing your money.

"First of all, "The Last Days" is a good script. It took the original author three years to write this story. In addition, our excellent actors and staff have done a lot of preparatory work. I believe the result will not let us, nor will we Let the audience down."

This kind of answer obviously didn't satisfy the reporter, he was obviously doing Tai Chi, and he wanted to continue talking, but Old Wang didn't give him a chance, so he switched to the next one.

"Hello, Director Su. Listening to the name, this seems to be a sci-fi film. Since "The Wandering Earth" became a hit, many directors in Huaxia have also made similar films, but the results were not very good. Some directors were even dismissed. Criticism said that the door that was opened with great difficulty, but then closed, do you think you can open the door again?"

There are traps in the question, so Su Yan naturally won't step on it.

"Actually, every movie is made with the hard work of a group of people. As for whether the door can be opened again, I don't care. Only through the inspection of the audience can we know, but I have confidence."

"Director, the title of the film is "The End of the World". Will there be zombies, mutations, etc., like the setting of a Hollywood movie?"

Finally someone cared about the movie itself.

"The end of the world here refers to a result, which is the story of the remaining human beings struggling to survive in a desperate situation after a catastrophe..."

Su Yan said a lot about the setting of the movie without spoiling it as much as possible.

"Hello, little sister Liu Chutian." The reporter took care of this 13-year-old actor: "What kind of character are you in the movie?"

"I've been running away, and bad guys have been looking for me." The little girl answered innocently and romantically, making the scene laugh.

"Then did you escape successfully in the end?"

"I don't know either. It's not written in the script. If you want to know, you can go to the cinema to watch it."

What a clever little ghost.

"Tylore, what kind of role do you play in the movie?"

"Struggling to survive..."

"Is there any emotional drama with Guo Hangyu?"

"In Director Su's last days, love is a luxury, and it may sprout, but no one can be sure about the future direction."

"Guo Hangyu, just after the TV series ended, I came to participate in the movie, will there be no problem with the role change?"

"I have to thank the director and the author. They spent a lot of time explaining to me the setting of the world view, as well as my character, form and style, etc..."

An hour later, the reporters were satisfied and went back to write a press release with all kinds of materials.

(Thanks to Mr. Ah Zheng 128 for 20 consecutive rewards, and Mr. Bai Mantian for his reward)

Chapter 548 Stress and filming

"Su Yan has finally returned to the right path, but I decided not to watch this movie. What if it becomes popular and I don't make variety shows in the future?"

"Su Yan's product must be a high-quality product."

"Why doesn't Director Su's movie let Yoona be the protagonist?"

"I'm looking forward to it, "The End of the World" eh, it sounds interesting."

Many of Su Yan's true fans made the above comments, but there are also many who are not optimistic.

"I'm not mistaken, is this going to change careers? If you want to make a comedy film, maybe I'll watch it again, but sci-fi...forget it."

"I only know that I have graduated from university for four years, and I have returned all my professional knowledge to the teacher. Isn't this really a risk?"

"The investment of [-] million yuan, I think it will be in vain."

"Without zombies, is it still called the end of the world? I really can't imagine what it will be like."

"I'm afraid it's a relationship under the sign of the end of the world."

Fans didn't think much of it, let alone critics or professional directors.

From the perspective of variety shows, perhaps no one would make irresponsible remarks on Su Yan, but suddenly there was a movie to be made, and many people couldn't sit still.

"As a young director, Su Yan, no one can shake his position in the variety show circle, and no one can doubt his ability to make variety shows. He became famous at a young age and his ratings broke records. Su Yan seems to have lost himself and thought about making movies. It seems too simple, with an investment of [-] million yuan, a sci-fi film, in my opinion, is going to stumble." --Director Yang Senyuan

"I don't know when it started. What kind of person can take up the profession of film director? Is it because of money or blind self-confidence? Of course, I don't mean to underestimate Su Yan. After all, he is a professional film director. Optimistic. As a qualified director, I don’t use the word success, it needs practice and experience to achieve it, and it’s too difficult to become famous in one fell swoop." --Director Babao.

"Film is an art. I can only say that Director Su Yan is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. He is also rich and powerful, with [-] million. Just take it out. It seems that he has made a lot of money in the past few years, but the cruelty of the market will soon be over. Let them realize that making a movie is actually not as simple as imagined." -Director Zi Luolong

The attitude of the directors is actually quite gentle, but the words of the film critics can be said to be critical, such as "not only the heights of the heavens and the earth", "any cat or dog can be a director", "the worst Chinese film reservation", these are all merciless.

This is also normal. Nine out of ten film critics are bastards. It is normal to work with money. No matter how good a movie is, he can pick out thorns for you to show that you are different. No matter how good your director is, the box office No matter how high, criticism is the norm, and this is what makes money.

Of course, there are also those who talk about seeking truth from facts, but there are really few.
