Chapter 557: . Sadness and romance

For example, "Red-crowned Crane" in the music film prepared by Wang Yifan.
Wang Yifan himself likes this song very much, and he was also sentimental because of the story behind this song.
This song is about a girl who lost her life because of protecting a red-crowned crane. She is a female college student and her father is a crane conservation engineer. Under the influence of her father, this girl has loved red-crowned cranes since she was a child and has a deep relationship with red-crowned cranes. After graduating from university, the girl stayed in Yancheng Nature Reserve to work. As a gift, she took 2 red-crowned cranes to Yancheng. One night, the red-crowned crane did not return to the nest on time. The girl went out to look for it for two days. During the search, the girl slipped into the swamp and did not get up.
Such a story, obviously not strong commercial elements, but Wang Yifan still took it out.
In fact, at his current level, there is no shortage of money, so he can do whatever he wants. Moreover, although movies like "The Story of Red-crowned Crane" are made, they may not be as big as those in the first issue. , But it will basically not lose money.
After all, it is a low-cost movie, coupled with Wang Yifan's lyrics and music, and Huaxin's ability to publicize and distribute, so this type of movie may not have any very good results at the box office, but the reputation is definitely not bad.
In fact, directors like Wang Yifan are often asked what they think of literary movies? Is there any plan to shoot a literary film and so on.
Since the beginning of the film, it has the dual attributes of commodity and culture. However, the current domestic films often use the box office as the main measure of the success of the film.
This is also human nature. However, it is undeniable that the development of Huaguo movies has indeed shown an abnormal phenomenon. In the early years, when the Huaguo film market was not so big, there was almost no market for commercial films, so The films produced by the directors of that generation are more cultural and artistic, but are basically insulated from commerce.
This is actually not their fault, because at that time, for Chinese filmmakers, there was no place to talk about commercial films because the market simply could not support commercial films.
But with the outbreak of the film market, what is the result? Commercial films have risen, but literary films have declined.
Some critics pointed out that the rapid construction of movie theaters is not only a tool for commercial capital to chase profits, but also a spiritual home for us to observe reality and understand our hearts.
Does this make sense? Of course there are, but the same. It is a paradox to take both business and art into consideration. There are indeed such movies, but they have sharp edges.
Not to mention the immature Chinese film market, even the Hollywood film market lacks such films.
However, there are indeed some real filmmakers in China. They were born for movies and are proud of them.
Wang Yifan didn't dare to say that he was a real filmmaker. At best, he was a commercial film director. If he asked him to make a literary film, he said he couldn't make it.
However, there are some people who have gained their fortune in order to make movies, and they are not for the so-called box office at all, but because of their deep love for movies.
Therefore, in Wang Yifan's plan, the second phase of New Star Entertainment's New Star Guidance Program is not entirely prepared for new directors, but also for those real filmmakers.
Although Wang Yifan's story will set some framework for them, it will also give them enough room to play.
...
Yang Hong once had the reputation of being the first beauty in the Chinese entertainment industry, and appeared in many epic TV masterpieces in his early years.
Later, he moved to the film industry and gained a lot of honors.
It's just that Yang Hong has a very special hobby, that is, being a director and making movies.
It's just that Yang Hong, who is an actor, is well-known, but Yang Hong, who is a director, has always been alone in the film.
Yang Hong loves making romantic movies, and she is a romantic person in her own bones, but she also likes tragic movies. The first movie "Love Never Lives", the movie is romantic enough, but the plot is a mess.
In fact, Yang Hong's status and status, even if she knew that she would mess up when making movies, many people were still happy to give generously in her early years.
As a result, the first movie "Love Never Lives" made investors lose money.
If it's other thick-skinned directors and the movie is messed up, there is no way, investment is risky.
But Yang Hong is not that kind of person. From then on, she would rather make money by making movies by herself than accepting investment from others.
She used to spend three years preparing a movie, but it took more than a year to make a second movie "Wushan Jue Lian", and then she continued to rush on the street.
The investment is 30 million and the box office is less than 3 million.
She even sold her property to make a movie.
Actually, Yang Hong is incapable, right? She really is not. She has good director ability, and she has her own style and romance. Her films have only one characteristic.
In fact, the biggest problem with "Wushan Jue Lian" still lies in the plot. Many film critics lamented that if this film had a reliable screenwriter, it wouldn't stop here.
Although tragedy is easier to achieve classics, but the premise is that if there is a sufficiently exciting story.
Yang Hong’s third movie, this time, she learned the lessons of the first two movies, did not engage in any major productions, only made a small cost, and also invited well-known screenwriter Xiao Hanqiu to check it.
So there was a third movie, "The Brothel".
It is a pity that Yang Hong believes that his screenwriting skills are too poor, so he trusts the so-called well-known screenwriters too much.
As a result, she was pitted by Liao Hanqiu, who is Liao Hanqiu?
This gentleman is indeed a well-known screenwriter, but when Yang Hong invited Liao Hanqiu, it was when Liao Hanqiu was most proud of it.
Once the scenery rises, it is easy for people to lose control of their original intentions, and their ambitions begin to swell. As the name suggests, "The Brothel" is a story about the bitter feelings of women in the brothel.
Originally this kind of story, simply, even if it is filmed in accordance with the dog-blood plot at 8 o'clock, with Yang Hong's romantic filming method, it is definitely not too bad.
Yang Hong's movies have always been pure and pure love, but when she came to Liao Hanqiu, she felt that this was one of the biggest problems with the failure of Yang Hong's previous two films.
As a result, the script was drastically revised. As a result, the romance is romantic, but the heroine has become a real brothel woman who can do her best. Do you expect the audience to accept such a woman?
The result is naturally self-evident. Because of the large number of large-scale dramas in "Brotherhood", it was directly banned in China.
Originally, this movie, according to Liao Hanqiu's intention, could go abroad to participate in film exhibitions. According to Liao Hanqiu's words, this scale is normal abroad, but Yang Hong directly rejected it.
Because this is totally inconsistent with her original intention.
