1395. The Dilemma of Love Movies
"Actually, my first movie was a love movie I made. Unfortunately, that movie was not even available in the theaters." Yang Qing explained with a wry smile.
For every director, the first movie he directs is often special.
Just like every woman always has a very deep impression of her first man.
Wang Yifan could understand Yang Qing's obsession.
But to be honest, when it comes to love movies, I don’t know when it will start, as if people all over the world are no longer in love.
You know, before this, love movies were usually known as the safest movies.
In fact, there are many early love movies that make big money by making small profits.
For example, "33 Days of Love Break", and "Shi Shishi Cohabitation", etc.
At that time, love movies were considered the most likely to make money. Since "33 Days of Love Break", they all thought that this was the safest and most likely to make a big fortune. All film companies are developing such movies, and now, film companies shook their heads when they see this type of movie.
Many people do not realize that love is ignored, but it is still the strongest emotional need of human beings.
You should know that when "Super Time and Space Cohabitation" appeared, there were actually very few top-notch love movies on the market, but why can it still be sold? Why did "The Us Later" sell so many? If it can express the sincere feelings between men and women, this part of the audience may have always existed silently.
As for why there are no love movies? Even many of them are remakes. The rules of love are no longer applicable, because love in reality cannot be made into movies at all: they are all fragmented and various realistic considerations. It seems that these are OK to make a drama, but the intensity of making a movie is completely insufficient.
First of all, of course, it is because of the harsh social environment that money has become the thing that young people worry about the most. Compared with this, what is love?
But is it true that love movies really have no market?
Surely not. As mentioned earlier, love is still the strongest emotional need of human beings!
Therefore, love will not really have no market, but how to tell and how to film love has become the biggest problem.
Why is Zhao Dongming dissatisfied and frowned?
In fact, if it is domestic, there are still one or two hits in love movies, but in foreign countries and Hollywood, it seems that they have become the desert of love movies.
There are only some movies with low cost, and big stars are unwilling to shoot them.
Investors are unwilling to invest.
Because they think the market no longer needs such movies, or in other words, the current market does not have an environment for the explosion of such movies!
In fact, it is quite similar to the decline of martial arts.
In the past love movies, the heroine in "The Lonely Man and Woman" gave up on the Internet elite of wealth, but chose her boss who was not very promising; in "Notting Hill", the big star fell in love with the owner of a small bookstore... neither money nor status, but love movies always talk about "the moment when love happens" is the most important thing.
And now? The serious homogeneity of young people's thinking is very narrow. All these classic love movies seem to be "incorrect in the eyes of the three views" in the eyes of children today.
Yes, it's weird, isn't it?
Pure love has become "incorrect in terms of values".
The big star falls in love with the bookstore owner. From the young people today, they not only don’t think it’s romantic, but they think it’s too fake!
So, many times, we will find that people nowadays are beginning to like nostalgia.
Most love can only exist in nostalgic movies, youth movies and other types.
Because if it was the past, then everyone might still think it is true!
So, it’s not a movie. If you can become popular in your previous life, you will definitely become popular in this life.
For this reason, Yang Qing's tendency made Wang Yifan feel a little embarrassed.
He cannot destroy his invincible golden body, so the movie must be more confident.
Some people may say, aren’t there often many romantic dramas in TV series?
But you can take a closer look at the so-called hot dramas about love and marriage.
It can really be said that all the propaganda are negative energy.
There are a lot of men and women in "Ode to Joy", "Thirty Only", and "The Golden Years", but what you can see are things like "The Undocument" and "The Undocument" and other things.
Anyway, in short, what young people believe in now are: "It's good to be alone." "Are you unhappy in chasing stars? Is the drama not good? Why do you want to fall in love?" "Nothing is nothing if you don't fall in love"...
If you are in love, then young people want an absolute love, that is, "If you fall in love, you have to get married, you have to look at it without squinting, and there can be no change in love."
People sympathize with those who were abandoned, "her boyfriend/girlfriend... so pitiful."
But what love movies used to say was: If this is not true love, then this is also unfair to your boyfriend/girlfriend. He/she should also look for his/her true love. In other words, love is an uncontrolled flow process.
It can be said that it is a change of concepts that completely made those once popular love movies gradually disappear from people's vision.
Well, after saying so much, it’s just one thing, that is, the market for romance films is really bleak!
However, Wang Yifan wanted to give it a try. Classics are classics after all. Some movies, even if they are released ten or twenty years later, will not actually change much.
In fact, love is always the emotion that people need most, otherwise "Titanic" would not have been so popular.
"Will it be too...?" Zhao Dongming still didn't want such a rare opportunity to be put on a romance film.
There are so many commercial film themes, isn’t science fiction movies good?
Isn't monster movies delicious?
Isn't the adventure blockbuster delicious?
Why do you have to have a romance movie?
Isn't this a waste of resources?
I couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Yang Qing.
After all, from Zhao Dongming's standpoint, the first thing he has to consider is whether the movie can be sold as a hit and whether it can become a hit. In fact, he doesn't pay much attention to the subject matter.
But Yang Qing chose a movie theme that is the most difficult to explode, which made him a little dissatisfied.
"Actually, romance films are a good choice. After all, it can be said that popular themes have been filmed long ago. Otherwise, Hollywood would not have been committed to developing sequels of those movies. On the contrary, romance films, although the themes are a bit old, if they are well filmed, their influence is not comparable to other themes."
"The classics that can be passed down forever are actually quite common about love." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Indeed, only those who are capable can show their true nature.
