I hope to invest in sponsoring Li Mingjuan to make a film that highlights the local cultural characteristics of the Haixi.
Li Mingjuan naturally hopes to be able to contribute to his hometown, but the problem is that this kind of proposition composition, let alone her Li Mingjuan, looking at China, not many people can really do well.
Director Yang was prosperous and sincere, but Li Mingjuan knew how many pounds she had.
She simply didn't have the ability to meet the requirements of Director Yang and the Haixi government, so she thought of Wang Yifan.
Yang Ming naturally knows Wang Yifan’s name. However, Wang Yifan is not from Haixi, and people may not necessarily see the sponsorship of Shanghai West. Especially this time, Haixi’s request is to make a film that highlights the local characteristics. movie of.
Everyone knows that movies with local characteristics are difficult to accept across the country.
In particular, the Haixi is located in southern Fujian. It speaks the Hokkien language and has local characteristics. How can it be so easy to get out of the Haixi to the whole country?
And the key point is that Haixi and Wang Yifan have never dealt with each other, but Li Mingjuan is different, she was started by Wang Yifan's deputy director.
It can be said that Wang Yifan is kind to her, and Li Mingjuan highly respects Wang Yifan.
Especially the several small projects jointly launched by Wang Yifan and Huaxin. There are no big directors or big stars, but they are still big and small. Everyone knows that this is not only a smart eye to know people, but also a more critical script!
Big movies may have limited use of scripts, but for small-cost movies, script creativity is really critical.
For large-scale productions, innovation is equal to increasing risk, but for small-cost movies, creativity is worth a million!
As for Wang Yifan's several projects, the first two have achieved great success, and his screenwriting ability is beyond doubt.
That's why Director Yang and Li Mingjuan were able to explore the class.
"Director Yang, what are your specific requirements for Haixi City?" Wang Yifan asked noncommitantly.
Yang Ming attached great importance to this meeting, pondered for a moment, and carefully organized the words: "In fact, we also sponsored some film series earlier, but to be honest, most of them just went to Haixi to film the scene, and the effect was very ordinary."
"Last year, we all cast a period drama on Haixi, but the result was only broadcast in our Fujian province, and the ratings were average."
"We also want to sponsor movies from big directors like Director Wang, but the scripts are often difficult to hook up with our Haixi City. Therefore, we wondered if we could ask someone to customize a script, and then we would provide funds and find someone on our own. Come to shoot. The requirements are naturally to highlight the local culture of the Haixi, it is best to show the characteristics of the Haixi..." Yang Ming said the request.
But in fact, what Yang Ming said are all in space and too general.
"In fact, many of the cultures of Fujian and Baodao come from the same origin, and the dialects are also the same. Why doesn't Haixi ask someone on Baodao for help?" Wang Yifan asked curiously.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly. Li Mingjuan looked at Yang Ming and said: "I have actually asked Director Yang about this. In fact, Haixi has been cooperating with the film and television circles on Baodao for many years, but the results have been minimal, even In many cases, money was spent, but it turned out to be a treasure island, which has nothing to do with Haixi. Sometimes, the culture has the same root, and it may not be the same."
"Furthermore, the filmmakers of Baodao have rarely had any very good results in the film and television industry in recent years, plus some other reasons, so..." Li Mingjuan sighed.
Wang Yifan nodded, expressing understanding.
It’s actually very simple. Although everyone speaks the same dialect, most of the time the filmmakers and films on Baodao highlight Baodao instead of Haixi. In fact, there is another main reason. , Is the decline of the treasure island movie.
"Actually..." Yang Ming stopped talking.
Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Director Yang has anything to say directly."
"Actually, there was a very successful case in Xinghua earlier. They invested in a TV series about Mazu, and the effect was very good. We wondered if we could learn from the unique locality in Xinghua. Culture, and some folklore as the starting point to shoot a movie?" Director Yang asked.
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "Director Yang, your idea is very good, but in fact, this is not reproducible."
"First of all Mazu TV series, the story took place in ancient times, and they promoted the story of Mazu, not Xinghua City, but because Xinghua City is the birthplace of Mazu, Xinghua City can be fed back, but it is well-known and well-known. It's just Mazu!"
"If Haixi City has a mythology with local cultural characteristics similar to Mazu, of course it can also be used, such as the biographies of celebrities, etc."
"We have many historical celebrities in Haixi City." Director Yang said.
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "But the key to the problem is that what you want to promote is the city, and what you want to do is the city card. Mazu already has many believers in the coastal areas, so it can be said that it has a certain reputation. ."
"But what about Haixi? Those historical celebrities can take their celebrity biographies, but this seems to be inconsistent with the characteristics of Haixi you asked for?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
"It's not impossible that culture builds a stage, economics, and sings, but it can be said that this method is not new anymore. How can this highlight its characteristics?
In fact, to put it plainly, Yang Ming's requirements are just a propositional composition, but the problem is that their requirements are actually relatively high.
So it really doesn't work to talk about famous historical figures, because most historical figures are actually in this place, but most of their stories don't have much to do with their hometown.
Moreover, it is really difficult to make such a movie.
"Actually, there is no way. Director Yang has seen "The Great Earthquake", right?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
Yang Ming nodded and said, "Of course!"
"Actually, the way of film promotion of "The Great Earthquake" is what Haixi needs." Wang Yifan said.
"You mean to show the development and culture of the city through the changes of the times?" Yang Ming asked with bright eyes.
Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Yes."
"Director Wang, do you have any ideas?" Li Mingjuan had a lot of contact with Wang Yifan, and when he heard Wang Yifan's words, she asked with some joy and expectation.
"Well, director Li should know the movie "Grateful Heart" I shot before?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
"Of course I do. What does Director Wang mean?" Li Mingjuan didn't understand.
"A child will spend more than 20 years from falling to the ground until he grows up to become a benevolent child. If he takes it as the main body, through such a story, it will show the changes of a place, and even a city..... ."
