At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 408 Why not be a director?
I have won awards, how can I evaluate it?

Mr. Huang didn't pick up the quibble, and Zhou Shen took the topic to Uno: "We want to thank Xudong, Liu Lu and I are making a movie for the first time, and we are very nervous, but Xudong told us, 'This movie was filmed by ourselves. Just play, don't stress'..."

Liu Lu also said: "The preparation of the script includes post-editing, and he has been deeply involved..."

Zhou Shen nodded: "That's right...Actually, the work "The Aviator", whether it is the original work or the script, is Xudong's work..."

"So," Chen Daoming took the microphone: "Why don't you just be the director?"

Shen Xudong was delighted: "I don't have any thoughts on this for the time being...Moreover, watching other people's shooting is always more accurate than shooting by myself...The authorities are fascinated, but the bystanders are clear!"

Then Chen Hao shared his filming experience

After a brief chat, there is a little time left for the students.

The young people are active and enthusiastic, hoping to impress Shen Xudong.

Being pulled by him casually will save at least five years of struggle, so the questions basically revolve around Shen Xudong...

"...I want to ask Xudong, what is the difference between the original novel and the movie script?"

"Actually, the novel of "The Aviator" is not the same as the movie. When I wrote the novel, people like Li Mingqi were so-called romanticists or idealists, but to some extent they were also escapists. By.

As brilliant as the ideal is, so is the desire to escape.

These little people have their own self-enclosed small universe, they refuse to merge into the crowd, and use a way that belongs to themselves to resist the polishing of the world, but the world also smooths them out in another cruel way .

Therefore, I write novels with an attitude of scrutiny...

However, when the script was written, it was obvious that he favored it... Put him in a romantic cloak! "

"I watched "The Aviator" three times in the cinema, and I watched it again just now. I want to ask why Li Mingqi..."

"Senior, I heard that the leading actor is from Nortel? Why not use our Chinese drama?"

"...Actually, the director and actors of "The Aviator" are all from our company. Needless to say, Senior Sister Chen Hao, Huang Bo was our voice actor when we were working on "Screening Room". We have known each other for a long time..."

The last question is Chen Xiao's question: "I want to ask my seniors... Regarding "The Aviator", do you expect to win awards or earn box office?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Actually, "The Aviator" has been rushing to win awards from the beginning, so the commercial element of the film is not very strong..."

"Then do you think box office is more important than winning awards?"

"This thing, you should consider it clearly from the very beginning of the film project, analyze the subject matter, possible cast members, and then estimate the market cap...

Let me give you an example. For example, "The Aviator", if we don't win the prize, we need to spend at least 1500 million in publicity costs if we want to sell 800 million at the box office... But if we win the prize, we will save a lot of publicity costs , but... winning an award is not a good thing, because most viewers subconsciously feel that they don't want to watch it when they hear that it has won an overseas award! "

"...But there are also quite a few viewers who are willing to pay for art films!"

"It's useless. Now there are only 2000 screens in total. You have to consider the market and theaters. What kind of movies do theaters like? They hope that when a movie comes out, all men, women and children across the country are willing to sit in theaters and watch it." ...Art films obviously do not have this attribute! This is a very real problem!"

……

"I think this Chen Xiao is pretty good, it's definitely no problem to act in ancient costume!"

"...Okay, I'll talk to him later!"

Chen Xi nodded...

She also thinks this Chen Xiao is good!

Sword-browed and star-eyed, she's definitely the way to go...

The company has already signed a bunch of 'strength factions', and it should also add an idol faction.

As for whether Chen Xiao would agree...

Still have to think?
Tianmei Media is famous for giving opportunities and complimenting people...

"Jackie Chan's "Myth" was released this weekend..."

"It's okay. With the current market and the quality of movies, there are very few long-term box office. Usually it is fixed at two weeks. After two weeks, the box office is almost the same, and piracy should also be rampant."

"But we haven't even had two weeks..."

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "Then I have no ability to persuade "Mythology" to withdraw!"

"...I just want you to think about the reality before bragging next time. You still have 2000 million at the box office. Now it seems that you can get 1500 million!"

"Didn't I think so much at the time!"

Shen Xudong was also quite embarrassed...

But the awesomeness has been blown out...

Chen Xi thought of something, and reminded: "Go to the Hundred Flowers Awards next month...don't forget!"

"I know... No, isn't this year's Golden Rooster Award?"

"...Then the Golden Rooster Awards... are almost the same!"

"How can it be almost the same... Well, it is indeed the same!"

……

The golden rooster is powerless and the flowers are dead...

A simple analysis, in fact, is the immobilization of the circle. The so-called market impact is only an external cause. The real internal cause is the so-called division of circles by some people in the film circle. no voting rights

If film awards want credibility, the film industry or film art must always take the lead.

It is also a skill to not occupy both ends!
In the future, the world's largest film market will not have an influential film award, which is a kind of sadness in itself.

Pulling back, this year's Golden Rooster Awards are actually the 25th Golden Rooster Awards. Shen Xudong has the impression that Jackie Chan was crowned actor with "New Police Story"!
Well, the Hong Kong Film Awards don’t give you the award, but our Golden Rooster Award best actor will give it to you...

However, this time, Daoming Chen from "Outstanding Citizen" is added...

Uh, judging from the nominations, "Outstanding Citizen" is the big winner, with five nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography!
Did not sign up for the Golden Horse Awards—the Golden Horse Awards have been chaotic in the past two years. I don’t know what happened. They learned from the three major film festivals and won the jury awards, but they refused to give up the original team...

Not only the Jury Award, but also the Special Jury Award, and even "Best Taiwanese Film of the Year", "Best Taiwanese Film Worker of the Year"...

Make people uncomfortable!
However, this year's "The Aviator" signed up for the Golden Horse Awards, because starting from this year, such awards have been cancelled...

By the way, it is beneficial to sign up for the Golden Horse Awards-the finalists will be awarded a bonus of NT$5 and a certificate.

Of course there are Golden Rooster Awards - "Outstanding Citizen" was filmed in Huairou, and the local government of Huairou also has a film-related support strategy...

However, why did Shen Xudong not expect that with the reports of the results of the trial screening of the Chinese opera, the most discussed question on the Internet is 'Why doesn't Shen Xudong become a director! '

Even many journalists asked about it.

Shen Xudong first explained seriously...

I got tired of asking, so I asked directly, 'Why should I be a director? '
