Chen Shaojun was married, and Wang Yifan was a little uncomfortable for a while.
The point is that this guy, using the excuse of getting married to spend his honeymoon, directly threw the entire "King Kong" crew to the two assistant directors.
Well, in fact, the shooting cycle of big productions is not longer than other movies.
For example, "Titanic" lasted nearly three years, but in fact, most of the time is actually spent on the preliminary preparations.
The actual shooting time is actually only a few months.
The same is true of "King Kong". The preliminary preparations are quite long, but when it comes to the shooting stage, it does not take so much time.
Of course, the shooting method of Sunglasses King is unique.
I took a lot of shots, but I didn't use much.
It is impossible for a big production to take a lot of shots and discard it like a literary movie.
Commercial production, most of the time, is based on a predetermined plan, and few people do things outside of the plan.
After all, every day and every shot requires a lot of money.
Moreover, directors of literary and artistic films usually do not need to consider the box office at all, and what the return on investment is. At least most literary film directors will not consider this issue.
But commercial film directors are different. They must consider these issues. Otherwise, who would dare to invest in you?
A few millions of low-cost movies may not matter, but a movie with hundreds of millions of costs, who is not under pressure?
This is why many literary and artistic film directors can have the patience to grind their foreign work over and over again, and the actors who grind will collapse, but they are still the same.
On the contrary, commercial film directors are violent on the set. The truck driver was once called a tyrant on the set, not only because of his temper, but also because of the pressure on his body, which is unimaginable by many others. of.
In fact, Chen Shaojun is under tremendous pressure.
Even if "King Kong" loses, he will lose, but the problem is that no one wants or wants to fail.
Therefore, during the filming of "King Kong", Chen Shaojun was under pressure. Even Wang Yifan wondered whether Chen Shaojun chose to get married and spend his honeymoon at this time because of this reason, just to relax?
Well, these are not nonsense.
On the other side, Li Mingjuan's "Super Body" has already started shooting. Although "Super Body" is also a science fiction movie, it can only be regarded as a low-cost science fiction movie at best.
Because "Super Body" involves not many special effects shots.
Of course, if the investment in a film is several hundred million, it is estimated that Li Mingjuan may not dare to make it.
In the current situation in China, the pressure on investment return for large investments is enormous.
For example, generally speaking, if a film invests 100 million yuan, plus the cost of publicity, 50 million yuan, then the final box office must be at least three times the cost to pay back.
That is to say, the investment includes the cost of publicity, 150 million movies, 450 million box office must be paid to not lose money.
This number seems very simple, but in fact, it is not so easy.
Because of the current movie market, the proportion of the cost budget for publicity is getting higher and higher. If a movie wants to sell well, if you want enough schedules, you must first promote it, and then engage in public relations after the screening. These are all Need to spend money.
Then, online and offline material placement and so on.
time flies.
Three months passed in a blink of an eye.
Ma Qingshan's "To Live" has been quite good at the East Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival.
It's just a pity that as "Alive" shines overseas, but as a result, after returning to China, Ma Qingshan got bad news.
"Alive" is stuck!
Moreover, no reason was given.
In fact, this is very clear, "Alive" was eventually banned.
Although the script was reviewed at the beginning, in fact, this movie has always had problems with review.
That is to say, the movie was made by Ma Qingshan, a major domestic director, otherwise, the script of such a movie would not pass the trial.
Many things involved in "To Live" are too sensitive. After all, although the background of "To Live" is in the old society, it spans decades.
Well, those are actually secondary, mainly in the theme of the movie. The theme expressed is: the philosophy of life. Kind and humble people are always working hard for their lives, always losing, but always In getting, this is living.
To be honest, this is indeed very negative energy.
Because the philosophy of life is too profound for the general public! It's too negative energy.
Perhaps someone who likes it will say that although "To Live" is a very profound movie, although it has been telling tragedy and the tragedy of Fukuki's life, it is actually the philosophy of life.
But for ordinary people, all they can see is what they have been losing, what they have been gaining, maybe living a humble life? But what is the point of this?
Therefore, "Alive" was banned.
Even if the screenwriter of this movie is Wang Yifan, even if the director of this movie is Ma Qingshan.
But in fact, if it weren't for this, the film wouldn't even have the opportunity to participate.
"You seem to be in a good mood?" Wang Yifan was a little surprised that Ma Qingshan was not lost at all after the news that "Alive" was "none".
"Actually, I had expected it a long time ago. For the director, for me, when I was filming "Alive", I felt a lot of things, but when I filmed it, many people on the crew did not understand it. I feel that this movie is too depressing. Fukui is actually not universal. Like many negative news reported by the media, he is only the most unique and the most unrepresentative! He can't represent the majority of ordinary people, only He himself, therefore, is banned, I am prepared!" Ma Qingshan said lightly.
"I thought you would be disappointed, it seems I was thinking too much." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"You already thought of it, right?" Ma Qingshan asked.
Wang Yifan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Think prepared!"
"I just don't know what Lin Dong will think, eh." Ma Qingshan smiled bitterly.
Wang Yifan said with joy: "I always thought that you would make a literary movie, and would never consider the rate of return on investment. I didn't expect you to be an alternative, Ma."
Ma Qingshan gave Wang Yifan angrily, "Am I the kind of person in your eyes?"
Wang Yifan laughed and said nothing.
Ma Qingshan sighed, "This is one of the reasons why literary and artistic movies have fallen. Many literary and artistic film directors, when making movies and investing in them, have never thought about it, nor have they considered the return of movies. Ben’s question. As a result, a vicious circle has formed. After all, how many literary and artistic films can win awards?"
