1372. There are no permanent enemies, only interests
However, the plot of a movie like "Origin" is relatively simple and easy to understand. Because it is a science fiction movie, the special effects are pretty good, so this movie may not be a hit, but this year's Spring Festival period has the data not too bad.
In fact, domestic audiences have not really high requirements for movies.
Especially for some blockbusters, most of the time, as long as there are highlights and certain viewability, the box office will not be too bad.
The main reason why some blockbusters often suffer huge losses in China is that the directors are really not friendly to the audience.
For example, Feng Dapao in his previous life really looks like he is the best in the world. I will make a movie for you to show you, which is your honor.
The fact is that Feng Dapao did take the mass line in his early years. Even if the movie was advertised in some advertisements, the box office was not bad.
But later, he disliked integrity and despised those art awards while chasing various awards. As a result, the movies he made were all kinds of mysterious and naturally abandoned by the audience.
Then he angrily said something, "This audience is not good at it."
In Wang Yifan's opinion, this is completely nonsense. When the director reaches the level of Feng Dapao, saying such words is extremely corrupt.
After all, movies are always a commodity. If you want to pursue awards and art, don’t expect too much of the box office.
But he wanted awards and box office. The box office was in a downturn, so he ran out, and all kinds of diss audiences were not yet him, so who would make a movie for the audience to watch?
"Director Wang, what do you think?" Chen Hang asked with a smile after the end of the video.
"What does Director Chen think?" Wang Yifan asked instead of answering immediately.
Chen Hang shook his head and said, "You can pass the exam, Meng Ke still lacks experience."
Wang Yifan smiled and said, "In fact, from the perspective of commercial movies alone, "Origin" is pretty good. After all, the script creativity of science fiction movies itself has high requirements."
Is the script important or not, of course important?
But when it comes to the requirements for script creativity, which type of movie is the most popular script?
Some people may think that science fiction movies seem to be too creative in scripts, right?
This is probably the illusion that "Avatar" brings to many people, because the plot of Avatar is actually really simple and outrageous.
So is science fiction movies not too creative in scripts?
Don't forget that what really makes Avatar is never a plot, but a change in the special effects of this movie.
As the saying goes, a heavy sword has no edge!
Movies like "Avatar" do not require any clever creativity, because this is a film with the main technology.
But how many movies are there like "Avatar" in the world?
It can be said that for pioneers and breakthroughs, script creativity is really not that important.
However, although the script of "Avatar" is very cliché, the problem is that the logic is very smooth.
If you think about it carefully, the sci-fi movies that are really popular are actually script ideas.
For example, "Edge of Tomorrow", "Mars Rescue", "Moon", "Day of the Groundhog", etc. These movies are actually very creative.
In other words, experts rely on technology, while ordinary people rely on creativity!
The legend of the Internet is that Hollywood does not attach importance to scripts, as if it makes people feel that, oh, scripts are not important at all.
But in fact, everything is relative.
Even if it is a project initiated by the gold medal producer, it will require a lot of investigation before the project is established!
It’s not that the script is not important, but most of the time, the script is actually very routine. For those gold medal producers and big directors, the script is indeed not that critical, because often a creative idea can be directly involved, and the screenwriter team can just stick to the plot in the routine.
But this is for big directors and gold medal producers, and for most directors, the script is still quite critical.
Why is the new star director program different from other new director training programs?
Because the new star director program always has projects first and then find directors.
The premiere of Jiuzhou, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, ended successfully.
Ali Media followed closely behind and held the premiere of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty".
On the "Glory of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", Ali Media also invited Wang Yifan.
Originally, Wang Yifan didn't want to go, but in the end he was still very kind. In addition, Wang Yifan was actually quite curious about the movie "Glory of the Tang Dynasty".
Because watching the trailer gave Wang Yifan the feeling that the movie "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" gave him a bit familiar.
Of course, another point is that Wang Yifan has been to the Jiuzhou and Wansheng Huanyu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. If Ali Media does not go there, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will gossip.
Another thing is that Yang Qing is also the best among the newcomers trained by the Huaxin series. The new star director program has always been the name of cultivating new blood for Chinese films, rather than simply cultivating talents in Huaxin. Therefore, Wang Yifan also wants to express his feelings on Yang Qing.
Although he doesn't go, the impact will not be too great, because at his level, some public opinion from the outside world dare not report it too much.
But Wang Yifan decided to go.
In fact, although it seems that the outside world is rumored, Huaxin and Ali Media are almost pissing their brains.
But in fact, the relationship between the two companies is not as tit-for-tat as shaped by external public opinion.
On the contrary, Huaxin and Ali Media have actually cooperated more.
Wang Yifan has never underestimated Ali Media, although he is not optimistic about Ali Media's strategy of dominating Hollywood and becoming one of the Hollywood giants.
But Ali Media is really rich, and it will cost billions of dollars. In Hollywood, Ali Media is also the one with the most extensive channels in China.
The Marvel Universe Project will also have certain cooperation with Ali Media in the future.
Ali Media’s domestic entertainment strategy is indeed a hypothetical enemy that has always been Huaxin, but for now, Ali Media has not been able to truly threaten Huaxin’s position.
Because the film market always relies on content, and content is king is not something to say casually.
In this regard, Ali Media obviously has a long way to go.
Zhao Dongming has actually been under a lot of pressure during this period.
Since he took office as president of Ali Media, he has done a lot of operations, but almost all of them have not achieved the expected results.
The original Ali Media’s film big data strategy failed.
Although the subsequent globalization strategy was not a failure, it did not achieve the expected good results.
Speaking of Ali Media’s globalization strategy, it can be said that it is indeed a real big deal.
After spending billions of dollars, it has indeed achieved good results in terms of channels.
After that, there were indeed many domestic directors who fell into the arms of Ali Media.
But so far, there have been few successful cases.
