Super Zoo

Xin Linli's words made Su Ming think of several other movies released earlier, all of which were art films.

Su Ming felt that his aesthetics was quite advanced, but even he looked drowsy.

What the little fool said is true at all. Even if it is an art film, it should be watchable and attractive to the audience.

In fact, many so-called art films, like bad commercial films, only have the title of "art", and the content is really unflattering.

In a commercial society, such art films can only dig their own graves.

"I would add that even art films can be made into a form that the people like to see and hear." Su Ming said, "For example, The Grandmaster."

"That's right!" : "This is a matter of plot and acting. To be honest, the visual effects of Legend of the Gods are actually quite stunning. The castle in the sky is quite majestic, with ten arks sailing in the turbulent blue sea, and a castle like a space fortress. Walking through the Bagua array; and the ever-changing nine-tailed demon fox. From the perspective of an audio-visual feast, it is indeed a magical blockbuster... However, there are real problems with the plot... Since we already have a strong special effects team and visual performance capabilities, why not Is this money, technology, and high technology used for the "righteous way"? I remember that when technology was not developed in the past, the special effects of Journey to the West and The Legend of the Gods filmed in the Mainland may not even cost 30 cents, but the plots are very attractive. "

Su Ming thought for a while and said: "Adaptation is difficult. If it is too deep, most viewers will not be able to understand it. If it is too shallow, it will become what it is now: cutscenes that rely on special effects to support the scene."

"There is no need to make major changes at all!" Xin Linli waved her hand with great momentum.

"No need to adapt?" Su Ming was slightly startled. This statement was quite new. Aren’t all the current fantasy blockbusters ‘adapted’ from the original works?

"In other words, there is no need for large-scale adaptation. The purpose of adaptation is to faithfully reflect the original work." Xin Linli explained: "Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and the myths and legends passed down from our ancestors have been passed down for hundreds of years. Polished and tested, such a story is not only beautiful and interesting, but also full of historical and cultural value. As long as we inherit it, make appropriate adjustments on the original basis, and give it technical innovation and gorgeous visual presentation, it will be perfect. , why do you have to abandon the original story line and talk nonsense? From screenwriters to directors, do you think your IQ is better than that of many ancients over the past few hundred years? If so, why not just write a new one? The story is just fine, why use the name of a famous book? Isn’t this a lie?”

…

During this trip to the film company, he really picked up a medium-sized treasure. After chatting with Xin Linli for more than an hour, Su Ming found that this guard was not as good as a dog, and even the boss couldn't recognize him in person. She actually has some unique and profound insights into movies. I had a great time chatting with her and even learned a lot from her.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ming looked at the time and was about to leave if he and a young female colleague stayed alone in the company until too late.

When he responded to Long Wu early tomorrow morning, he asked Su Ming to watch the internal screening first, hoping that he would give some suggestions.

Before leaving, the film critic who was just a moment ago turned into a little fool again.

"Mr. Su, I will stay in the company for at most three days before leaving. I will definitely find a house within a week. If I haven't left in half a month, I will accept your dismissal..."

Su Ming rolled his eyes, how many days? Does this idiot have any sense of time?

"Forget it, forget it, live here if you like. Don't sleep at the front desk at night. Go to the small screening room and sleep with the air conditioner on, so you won't get sick. If you can't handle renting a house by yourself, just make a report and ask the company assistant to help. "Su Ming said helplessly.

Xin Linli's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you are such a good person, so handsome!"

Su Ming was in a good mood, and suddenly looked up at the big photo of himself hanging on the wall, feeling melancholy and speechless again.

…

Early the next morning, Su Ming called Long Wu.

"Brother Ten, I've watched the movie," Su Ming said.

On the other end of the phone, Long Wu smiled: "How do you feel? Is it so exciting?"

Su Ming was silent for a second or two and said, "Brother Ten, we are friends and partners, right?"

Long Wudao: "It's so good, why do you say that? Of course it is."

"Then friends should be honest with each other, right?" Su Ming also smiled.

Long Wu was silent for two or three seconds and suddenly burst into laughter.

"I know what you're going to say. Do you want to tell me that this is a bad movie?" Long Wu asked.

"Actually, there are many merits..."

Su Ming tried his best to choose his words. It was not because he was afraid that Long Wu would not offend him, but because this film was a father's contribution to his son, and Su Ming did not want to hurt the father too directly.

Select part of the conversation with Xin Linli yesterday and tell it to Long Wu in a more tactful way.

Unexpectedly, before Su Ming could start speaking, Long Wu said: "Don't worry, I am also a movie maker. How could I not know whether the movies I made are good or not? I invited a group of industry experts, oh, and Wang Jin , has been screened twice internally, and I would like to hear everyone's suggestions. The results are negative reviews, and it is a terrible movie. The company and mainland professionals have predicted that the total box office will be difficult to exceed 500 million. Three to four hundred million, I can wake up with a smile after recovering the cost. I am not afraid of your jokes. My wife has been so angry that she has spent a lot of money shopping these days. "

Hearing what Long Wu said, Su Ming admired this former Xiangjiang boss for his ability to take things up and let them go, and to smile at the wind and clouds. This was a truly open-minded and open-minded life.

"Brother Ten, I won't say anything more. In short, if I can do my best, I will do my best," Su Ming said.

"Although your company has only produced one movie, it has a very good reputation at the box office." Long Wudao: "So, I want to hear, what suggestions do you have? The movie has not been officially promoted and released yet. If there is a chance, how much more? At least I can make some remedial measures, so as not to make me suffer too badly and give Xiang Zuo some hope.”

Su Ming thought to himself, boss, you really love your son. For this reason, are you still planning to let Xiang Zuo develop his acting career?

"I said that he is my son. As long as he lets me see that he works hard enough, I will give him three chances. This is the first time. I don't want him to despair the first time." Long Wu said in a deep voice.

"Well, Brother Ten, I will summon my people to discuss it now and call you tomorrow. However, as of now, the movie has been filmed and has been scheduled. If we want to make up for it, there is probably little hope." Su Ming said.

"I understand, everyone should try their best. But when it comes to human affairs, everyone depends on destiny." Long Wu said.

Su Ming hung up the phone and went to the film company again.

The so-called 'underlings' are actually only Xin Linli. Cai Liming and Li Wanting are both abroad. Moreover, Cai Liming's strength lies in distribution and management, and Li Wanting's strength lies in communication. From the perspective of film criticism, at present, both Not as good as Xin Linli.

I wonder if she has any suggestions.
