Chapter 61 The Little Director and His Name (Part 2)

Like online movies, online movies and online dramas are a new type of film and television development model rooted in the Internet and video websites!

However, unlike online dramas, online movies have never appeared that refresh the audience. When it comes to online movies, the first reaction is low-end, bad movies, and eye-catching!

This is a fact...

Moreover, in a sense, these Internet-based big shots are just to gain a wrong path. They have very particular titles. For example, when looking for "The Mermaid", they will meet "The Mermaid Prequel"; when searching for "The Monster Hunting", they can also search for "The Monster Hunting"; before "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" has been released, there are two online movies, "I Am Pan Jinlian" and "Pan Jinlian is Me" that have landed on the beach!

By the way, I must mention a work - "Don't Cry Baby"!

It was a work that a team took advantage of the popularity and took a week to shoot when the baby incident broke out!

Online movies are actually a freak. In March 2014, iQiyi first proposed the concept of online movies, pointing to movies that lasted more than 60 minutes, had a complete story structure, and were released through Internet channels.

The film "The Taoist Goes Up the Mountain" which was often reported by the media was launched on iQiyi in April 2015. It actually filmed for 8 days, with a cost of 280,000 and a net income of over 24 million!

This is a ROI!

More importantly, Chen Kaige's "The Taoist Down the Mountain" will be released about 90 days in the morning.

Director Kaige University is not sure if he was sad by "A Bunny Cause". He did not accuse such obvious behavior of riding on popularity...

"The Taoist priests come out of the mountain" has almost become a standard for the Internet for a period of time: low cost, low quality, and hot spots, and later some soft and eroticism.

With successful cases ahead, Netmaster soon entered an explosion period.

According to statistics, in 2015, more than 650 online movies were launched online, and by 2016, this data had risen to more than 2,000!

The industry that can make money is the sunrise industry!

Unfortunately, after the outbreak period, they were greeted with collapse!

Optoelectronics dad took action!

A number of popular online giants have been removed from the shelves;

The "Movie Industry Promotion Law" in March was officially implemented, and the standards for review of online movies and theater movies were determined to be unified, so that the Internet University, which was known for its rapid resumption of funds in the past, will be extended to at least 45 working days alone...

Making money is becoming increasingly difficult!

However, with the experience of developing online dramas, we can foresee that the trend of high-quality online movies is unstoppable.

Moreover, compared with theater movies, NetDa has an advantage that theaters do not have, that is, the breadth of playback platforms - who has not had a computer these days?

In fact, according to the development path of American movies, the role of Netcom University is actually to provide talents!

In the United States, Internet giant is called DVD movies - this type of movie is not available in theaters, has a small budget (the guaranteed $700,000), and DVDs are directly released. There are more than 5,000 such companies in Hollywood!

Many directors started their careers with DVD movies, such as Quentin Tarantino, his first movie "Dog in the Water", such as Steven Soderbergh, his first work "Sex, Lies and Video Tapes" is also this type!

"There will always be two kinds of movies in the world, one trying to take us beyond the boundaries of the body and experience a kind of beauty; the other allowing us to return to the body and feel the pulse of desire. The former makes people respect, and the latter makes people vent. The B-level movie undoubtedly belongs to the latter, and there is no distinction between the two in themselves. Just like romance movies and erotic movies, one acts on the spirit, one acts on the body, one acts on the heart, and the other is to relieve the tension in the body. Both are beneficial to people."

A feasible suggestion is to pilot several R-level online movies on the Internet...

If the policy allows, Bai Xiaofei doesn’t mind making one or two works that give people a sensory experience!

The interview continues...

Fang Cunliang is preparing to ask some in-depth topics.

"Director Bai, will you focus more on the identity of an actor or the identity of a director in the future?"

"I don't think it's as detailed as you have to divide it. If there is a suitable script to come to me, I will definitely take it." I got up, picked up the teapot and poured half a glass of water into my cup, took a sip, and Bai Xiaofei continued: "I filmed "Brothers of Waste" and I actually want to show myself, because this is the market, I see it very clearly!"

"Movies need to find actors with box office, and TV series need to find actors with ratings. There are many celebrities with ratings and box office, so many people use it. This is a commercial interest that everyone knows and the market is normal."

"For a newcomer like me who has no background, I don't want to serve as a supporting role for some traffic factions without acting skills, so I might as well direct and act on my own. Although it is not as big as others' acting or not as good as others' acting, I can only say that I can do my best in my professionalism and creation as much as possible. As for whether there is a good response, it has nothing to do with me.



Bai Xiaofei picked up the cup and held it at his mouth. The tea slowly flowed into his throat. His eyes were staring at the bottom of the glass cup, and the brown tea table paint surface was faintly reflected.

“…”

Fang Cunliang was a little shocked.

He really didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to see so clearly!

Now is the era of fan economy, so it is so abnormal that Bai Xiaofei's very normal way of becoming popular by relying on his works has become abnormal!

Nowadays, actors or celebrities must be sought after first before they can appear in works!

With the introduction of the Korean idol model to the mainland, that is, fans are developed!

This ecological model was unimaginable at least ten years ago!

Liu Ye and Lu Yi were also young actors when they debuted, but they all became famous by their works.

The young and handsome guy is very famous now, but you don’t know what works he has, because his popularity and exposure are operated by crazy fans and agency companies. With this foundation, some directors or producers will extend olive branches to him, which is no risk. For traditional movies and TV series casting, you still have to rely on a keen eye to recognize people, and of course the surprises brought to the audience are even greater.

"What are the plans for the future?"

"Continue making movies, TV series!"

"Didn't you consider being a boss?"

"Are you talking about the meaning of establishing a film and television company by yourself? I have considered this before, but should you be Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, or Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen? Is it an entrepreneur or an artist? I may be an artist with business thinking, but in the final analysis it is still art, because money can't be made, and valuable things cannot be measured by money. I hope to shoot some artworks that are longer than my life."

"A last question," Fang Cunliang hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Some netizens said you have a big temper..."
