Chapter 278 Renewal (3/5)
"There are all directors here, most of them are my seniors. I don't want to be arrogant, so I just want to say a few simple words why I want to be a director!"
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "I have watched too many so-called movies and don't understand why such works can be brought to the big screen. It's even more desperate. These people are going to buy my film and television adaptation rights!"
"When I first entered the industry, there were not many movies that could be watched in the theater. Most of them had a strong personal style. I don't dislike personal style. But if the market doesn't buy it, it means that your personal style is not working. If that's the case, why no one has filmed some popular stories?"
"I talked to my teacher about this issue. He said that movies are art. If the public likes it, it is not art!"
"I do not agree with this view. No art should be separated from the masses. Without the art of the masses, it is water without the source and wood without roots..."
"After becoming a director, I discovered a phenomenon that every job in the crew needs you to decide, including landscape setting, art and even clothing. I am not a professional costume designer. Isn't you kidding me by asking me to decide on clothing? Later I asked Zhang Shuping, and he said that this is the norm, even when filming movies in Hong Kong, and each crew has a role, and this role determines the direction of the whole drama!"
"This may be a legacy of the opera troupe culture. In the past, it was popular to raise one team in the opera troupe!"
"In today's film industry, this character may be a director or a superstar."
"I think this is wrong. Everyone is not a versatile person. If the director is allowed to control everything, it is very likely that the rich man will wear a Metersbonwe..."
"Of course, I'm not saying Metersbonwe is not good, I'm just saying it's an example."
"That's how I watch it. Of course, the director is very important, but other jobs are also very important. Photography, art, props, lighting, costumes, etc. are all related to the success or failure of a play. Please leave professional matters to professionals. Thank you everyone..."
Accompanied by the applause, Zhang Junsheng walked off the stage.
"I thought you would say you would encourage the new director..."
"…No need to say this? I've always done this..."
The two deputy directors of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are now the only ones, and the photographer has also become directors...
Not only that, the dozens of director assistants that Yuehua has signed contracts will be directors in the future.
"They were discussing just now, and they felt that the box office next year is likely to exceed 20 billion..."
Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "...How can it be so fast?"
"Not a long time, think about it, the number of screens now has reached 22,000, and new cinemas are completed every day..."
"I think it will be the next year."
Rao Xiaozhi probably got rid of the topic of beautiful legs and interrupted and asked, "...why?"
"Because the "Memorandum of Understanding on Sino-US Films" will be signed in the next year!"
...
Looking at Zhang Junsheng standing on the stage, everyone on the table next to him had their own thoughts.
In fact, when Zhang Junsheng first started filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", gossiped in the circle, and most of them were saying what tricks a doll could play?
Then, "A Chinese Ghost Story" won the box office championship of that year with a box office of 220 million yuan. Not only that, it also sold well overseas!
If you say he has lost his luck, will the following "Crazy Stone", "Pulp Novels", and "Lost in the Road" also have lost his luck?
Not only himself, but also 90% of the movies produced by Yuehua are making a big profit, and this probability is higher than most moviemakers in the country!
Everyone knows that for domestic movies, now is the best and worst.
It is said to be the best era because policies have been relaxed and the creative environment has become more free. All kinds of films can be tried, unlike before, only main theme films and literary films.
The worst era refers to the globalization of the film market. Liu Xiang of the Internet has allowed everyone to see a huge gap.
I used to close the door, but you would like to watch the movies I made, and it would not delay my family. Now it is no longer possible, it is marketized, and if a movie is lost, it must be made up for it...
More often than not, there is no chance to find a make-up...
After the party, everyone went back to their own houses, and Zhang Junsheng got in the car and prepared to go home. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and the whole family must be together!
In fact, when the Directors Association invited Zhang Junsheng, he was a little hesitant, but he eventually joined!
In China's social life, organizations play a very important role. Staying away from organizations means instability and difficulty in managing.
Only by incorporating it into this management system and becoming a member of the organization can everyone feel at ease.
When a person gains status in society, he will join various organizations and be included in a huge management system, otherwise he will become an alternative in the eyes of others.
This is called mainstream absorbing marginal characters!
...
After New Year's Day, Zhang Junsheng immediately started working mode.
If you go to the United States the day after tomorrow, you must complete the contract renewal of the agency within two days.
I discussed with Wang Shumei that those who are willing to sign a personal studio will be affiliated with Yuehua, and those who are unwilling will be released!
Brokerage companies are independent of Yuehua system...
Therefore, whether they leave or stay is not a big impact. Mr. Ge signed a film contract at the beginning. As for Zhou Xing... we can only say that everyone has their own aspirations.
However, Yuehua holds a stake in the brokerage company...
Wang Shumei: "Actually, most of the actors are still willing to stay."
"…That's for sure. We have enough resources, and we are not fools."
"…The thing that is a bit difficult now is those little flowers. They don't want to renew their contracts, they all want to mess with the studio!"
"Let them go and have a hard time!"
Wang Shumei was very unhappy: "...You said it simply. What should I do if I really make them trouble? "
"It's okay, just the brokerage company can take a stake!"
"Without artists, I have all set up personal studios. How can I continue to manage them?"
"Sign up a few more newcomers..."
"If you sign a newcomer and make it famous, they will leave... It's not a solution to keep going like this!"
This horse pedal is a vicious cycle...
Zhang Junsheng had no good idea: "This, we can learn more from Hollywood. It is one thing to not forget the kindness of Bole, and it is another thing to give in to open market competition. With artists as the center and solve the needs of each stage for artists, the agency can last for a long time."
"You said it simply. If someone can make money by himself, why should he share it with outsiders?"
Wang Shumei shook her head: "I still think we should set the conditions for termination higher..."
Chapter completed!
