China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 410: Find a Great God [Please subscribe]

When lunch time came, the students came out of their respective teaching buildings, gathered together in twos and threes, and walked to the cafeteria.

The office building of the directing department is just on the way to the cafeteria. If anyone looks up, they will definitely find that an office on the east side of the third floor has a strangely wide open window in this early winter.

It's the office of Tian Zhuang, the director of the directing department.

It won't work if you don't open the windows. If there's no ventilation, you'll probably have to call 119.

Sun Yi picked up the air conditioner remote control, made a beep sound, and turned it up one degree, then turned to look at Tian Zhuang.

The ashtray on the old man's desk was already full of cigarette butts. At the moment, he was wearing a pair of reading glasses, holding a cigarette in one hand and a signature pen in the other, and was still marking the script.

It was obviously a newly printed script, but it was already full of folds and had rough edges.

For most of the morning, Tian Zhuang has been reading the script repeatedly, and also read the original autobiography "Second Breath".

Finally, Tian Zhuang raised his head with red eyes, took a long breath, refilled his cigarette, put down the pen in his hand, clenched his fist with unfinished thoughts, and said to Sun Yi with a trembling voice: "I like this story. It's the redemption of humanity. It's the power that shocks the soul. This is the charm of film art."

The old man used a parallel sentence and looked very excited, completely living up to his lonely look just now.

Sun Yi was secretly surprised that this "medicine" was too strong.

For the first time in Tian Zhuang, he felt a director's devotion to movies. How should I put it, piety.

Yes, it is piety, a power close to faith.

This shocked him greatly. Since his rebirth, he had made several films, but this kind of behavior of treating movies as his own faith was something he had never felt before.

Sun Yi was somewhat self-deprecating.

After all, I am a common person and cannot be so pure.

"Give me this film, what are your plans?"

Tian Zhuang rubbed his hands awkwardly, and in desperation, he almost said what he wanted to take pictures of.

Sun Yi didn't expect this. He still can't understand the director's eagerness to put the story on the big screen when he sees a good story.

Following Tian Zhuang's question, he expressed his thoughts.

"Teacher Tian, ​​I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I want to win awards with this film. You also know that I am planning to try the industrialization of the film in the starry sky. However, the industrialization of the film cannot be achieved by me alone. I cannot do it without success. In addition to the support of relevant national units, we also need the help of various talents.”

After speaking, Sun Yi paused for a moment, giving Tian Zhuang some time to react, and then continued: "Teacher, as you know, our industry is also very particular about seniority. I am young and debuted late. Although I have a lot of experience in business, I have achieved some results, but if I want to do something as big as promoting the industrialization of Chinese films, my qualifications are still a little lacking. If I want to convince the public, awards are my only choice at the moment."

"I don't have much experience in this type of movie, so I want to ask the teacher to make a paper cut to check it, and help me polish the script."

Tian Zhuang held a cigarette and nodded. He was over fifty and had experienced so many years of ups and downs. He could understand Sun Yi's meaning with just a little thought.

The implementation of film industrialization in China is tantamount to a reform for the film and television industry.

Everyone knows that Hollywood movies are very industrialized, but why doesn’t anyone really try to learn it?

Things like technical difficulty, supporting equipment, etc. are all nonsense. The fundamental reason is that in China, bad movies can still make money.

Find a few celebrities, save a book, take random photos, expand publicity, and make money by specifying, and who wants to study industrialization in a thankless way?

Don't look at the production costs of tens of millions or hundreds of millions for external publicity. They are all filled with water. They are all yin and yang contracts. After each release, they say they will lose money. However, in the past few years, the number of film shootings has increased year by year. It has not been seen. Several film and television companies went bankrupt making movies.

It is true that this phenomenon also exists, but it is very rare. Most film and television companies make a lot of money.

Some people do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money.

If they are all losing money, are these film and television companies really stupid? The more they lose money, the more they film?

This also forms a vicious cycle, that is, "bad money drives out good money."

If the film industrialization fails, it is easy to say that we will do whatever we need to do, but if it succeeds, it will definitely be a dimensionality-reducing blow to the current Chinese film and television industry.

Take a look, China’s local stars, Hollywood-level production technology, China’s costs, and Oriental stories, all these combined together are simply awesome.

The audience will definitely be excited, but on the other hand, if you think about it, doing so is tantamount to destroying other people's jobs, and the entire circle.

Think about it, you could make money easily in the past, but now because of the emergence of Sun Yi, film and television companies have to invest in research and development, and the production must be sophisticated. The appeal of celebrities cannot be compared to the special effects scenes. Who can feel better? When the time comes, the finger will inevitably be pointed at Sun Yi.

Commercially, with the development momentum of Xingkong, he may not be afraid, but in terms of public opinion, if those veterans and the masterminds in those circles jump out to criticize, with Sun Yi's current influence, it is hard to say .

Therefore, he must improve his status. To put it bluntly, he must have awards around him.After thinking about this, Tian Zhuang agreed with Sun Yi's idea. He was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He was able to make steady use of limited resources and could not help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

Sun Yi is much stronger than when he was young, and his future is limitless.

Then we started discussing the script with Sun Yi.

Sun Yi's current script has not yet been adapted. It is just the first version of the script based on his autobiography "Second Breath", which is also the script of the movie in his previous life.

But he also wanted to insert this story into the background of China's times.

As a result, it becomes a lot more difficult in actual operation.

The most fascinating thing about the original film is that it interprets the purest friendship, regardless of skin color, age, rich or poor, it only cares about the harmony between hearts.

The real situation is that the male protagonist Philippe is a descendant of an aristocrat in France, a vice president and executive of the Hennessy Group, a successful man, with a good higher education, an enviable family property, and a decent social status. Due to a skydiving accident, he lost his life. Unfortunately, he was paralyzed from a high position.

Driss, who is also one of the male protagonists, is an Algerian immigrant and an orphan. He was adopted as a child and lives in poverty. He has little education and no fixed occupation. He also has a disgraceful past due to robbery. .

If such a story is transferred to China, if it is copied, the local environment will obviously not accept it.

In the original work, Philip's preferences as an upper-class person are still simple. Opera can be replaced by drama, and oil paintings can be replaced by ink paintings. Music has no borders and does not need to be changed.

But the most critical point, and the core point in the story, is that there are no skin color, immigration issues, or racial discrimination in China. There has always been great national unity. On this point, Sun Yi could not and did not dare to make a fuss.

He couldn't find a black person to star in the movie.

Therefore, the depth of the entire story is lacking, and he can only add more details in other places and polish the details.

But he still doesn't have a clear idea on how to do it, and the same goes for Tian Zhuang.

The two discussed it for a long time but could not come up with a satisfactory direction for the adaptation. As directors, both of them have good appreciation of scripts and can point out the shortcomings of the Chinese version.

If this movie is just a casual shot, it doesn't matter. There is no need to compare it to reality. The version the two of them are talking about can already kill 90.00% of the books on the Chinese market.

But it was obvious that neither of them were willing to accept it.

Sun Yi smoked a cigarette in a depressed manner, while Tian Zhuang turned over the original book and kept rubbing his chin with his hands, so worried that he even pulled out a few strands of his beard.

Time passed by, and finally Tian Zhuang slapped the original work on the table with a "pop" sound, which shocked Sun Yi, thinking that the old man had figured out how to adapt it.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Do you have any ideas?"

"It's a fart." Tian Zhuang uttered a curse word in annoyance. This feeling of knowing that the script has shortcomings but not knowing how to deal with it is really uncomfortable for the director.

It would be fine if there was no original autobiography, and there would be no harm without comparison, but in reality, the autobiography comes first, and the foreign version of the script adapted by Sun Yi is so deep, Tian Zhuang really doesn't want to make a low-profile version.

"No way, we have to bring in reinforcements." Tian Zhuang took out his cell phone from his pocket with a helpless expression and started to look through his address book, muttering, "I have to let him get proud of me again."

Sun Yi watched the old man's movements and thought in his heart.

Who are you planning to find? They seem to be old acquaintances, but they are a bit in love with each other.

Tian Zhuang had already found the phone number and dialed it.

"Hey, Lao Lu. Haha, what do you mean by not being able to contact me? I took the initiative to call you. It's a good thing. I have a good book. You will definitely like it. What do I mean by asking you for help? It's to open your eyes. Just in time to treat you to a drink, um, my old place, Dong Laishun."

Putting down his cell phone, Tian Zhuang smiled at Sun Yi and said, "With this person here, my book will be fine."

Sun Yi is still a little confused. It’s not that he thinks the script he adapted is so awesome. He still knows how much he weighs. He has great experience in commercial films. Now even if he is allowed to create an original film without relying on his previous life, he will We are all confident that we can produce a qualified book.

He just wanted to know who the old man was, Lao Lu, who was worthy of his respect. The two of them had been thinking about the script for a long time, as if this person would be able to succeed immediately.

Seeing the confusion on Sun Yi's face, Tian Zhuang smiled mysteriously and asked, "I wonder who it is?"

Sun Yi shook his head and said he didn't know.

Tian Zhuang's face seemed to be lost in memories. He leaned back in his chair and asked, "Have you seen "Alive"? Have you seen "Farewell My Concubine"?"

Sun Yi was stunned.

Zundu is fake.
