557. Sad Romance

For example, "The Red-Cutted Crane" in the musical movie prepared by Wang Yifan.

Wang Yifan himself likes this song very much, and he was also deeply saddened by the story behind this song.

This song tells the story of a girl who lost her life due to protecting a red-crowned crane. She is a female college student, and her father is a crane protection engineer. Influenced by her father, the girl has loved red-crowned cranes since she was a child and has a deep relationship with red-crowned cranes. After graduating from college, the girl stayed at the Yancheng Nature Reserve to work. As a gift, she brought two red-crowned cranes to Yancheng. One night, the red-crowned crane did not return to her nest on time. The girl went out to search for two days. During the search process, the girl slid into the swamp and did not get up.

Such a story obviously has not strong commercial elements, but Wang Yifan still took it out.

In fact, when he reaches his current level, he is not short of money, so he can do whatever he wants. Moreover, although movies like "The Story of the Red-Crowned Crane" may not be as big as those in the first episode, but they will basically not lose money.

After all, it is a low-cost movie, coupled with Wang Yifan's lyrics and music, and Huaxin's promotional and distribution capabilities, so such movies may not have any good results in the box office, but their reputation will definitely not be bad.

In fact, directors like Wang Yifan are often asked about how to view literary and artistic movies? Do you have any plans to shoot a literary and artistic movie, etc.

Since its birth, movies have had the dual attributes of commodities and culture. However, domestic films nowadays often use box office as the main measure to test whether a film is successful or not.

This is also human nature, but it is undeniable that the development of Chinese films has indeed shown a deformity. In the early years, when the Chinese film market was not so big, there was almost no market for commercial films. Therefore, the films made by that generation of directors were more cultural and artistic attributes, and were basically inseparable from commercial.

This is actually not their fault, because in that era, for Chinese filmmakers, there was no place to talk about business in movies, because the market could not afford commercial movies.

But with the explosion of the film market, what happened? Commercial films have risen, but literary films have declined.

Some critics pointed out that the rapidly built cinemas are not only tools for commercial capital to pursue profits, but also a spiritual home for us to observe reality and see through our hearts.

Is this true? Of course there is, but the same is true, taking into account both business and art itself is a paradox. Such movies do have one, but they are seldom in the corners.

Not to mention the immature Chinese film market, even the Hollywood film market lacks such movies.

However, there are indeed some real filmmakers in China who are born for movies and are proud of them.

Wang Yifan didn't dare to say that he was a real filmmaker. At best, he was a commercial film director. He asked him to make literary and artistic movies, but he said he couldn't make them.

But there are some people who have gained their own net worth in order to make movies, but they are not for the so-called box office at all, but because of their deep love for movies.

Therefore, the second phase of the New Star Director Program of Wang Yifan’s plan, Xinxing Entertainment, is not entirely prepared for new directors, but also for real filmmakers.

Although Wang Yifan's story will set some frameworks for them, it will also give them enough room to play.

......

Yang Hong once had the reputation of being the number one beauty in the Chinese entertainment industry, and she has starred in many epic TV masterpieces in her early years.

Later, he switched to the film industry and also gained a lot of honors.

But Yang Hong has a very special hobby, which is to be a director and make movies.

However, Yang Hong, who is an actor, has a reputation, but Yang Hong, who is a director, can only admire the movies alone.

Yang Hong loves to make love films, but she is a romantic person in her bones, but she likes tragic films. The first movie "Love Without the Next Life", the movie is romantic enough, but the plot is a mess.

In fact, even if she knew that she would mess up her movies, many people were still happy to donate generously in her early years.

As a result, the first movie "Love Without the Next Life" caused investors to lose a lot.

If it is another director with a thicker face and the movie is screwed up, there is nothing we can do about it, investment is risky.

But Yang Hong is not that kind of person. Since then, she would rather make money by filming movies and filming by herself than accept investment from others.

She spent three years preparing for a movie, but she spent more than a year shooting the second movie "The Love of Wushan", and then continued to lose.

Invested 30 million, and the box office was less than 3 million.

She even sold all her property in order to make a movie.

Actually, if you want to say that Yang Hong is not capable, it’s not true. Her directorial ability is pretty good, and she has her own style and is romantic. Her movies only have this characteristic.

In fact, the biggest problem with "Wushan Jue Love" is still in the plot. Many film critics lament that if there is a reliable screenwriter to check this movie, it will not be a failure.

Although tragedy is easier to achieve classics, the premise is that it is a wonderful enough story.

Yang Hong's third movie, this time, she learned from the lessons of the first two movies, did not do any big productions, and only filmed them at a low cost. Moreover, she also invited the well-known screenwriter Liao Hanqiu to check.

So the third movie, "Brother House".

Unfortunately, Yang Hong probably trusts the so-called well-known screenwriter too much because she thinks that her screenwriter's ability is too poor.

As a result, she was cheated by Liao Hanqiu. Who is Liao Hanqiu?

This guy is indeed a well-known screenwriter, but when Yang Hong invited Liao Hanqiu, it was the time when Liao Hanqiu was the most glorious.

Once a person becomes famous, he is prone to being unable to control his original intention and his ambition begins to expand. As the name suggests, "Brother House" is a story about the bitter feelings of a brothel girl.

Originally, such stories were simply shot according to the bloody plot of the eight o'clock stage, and Yang Hong's romantic shooting method would not be too bad.

Yang Hong's movies have always been very pure and pure love, but when it comes to Liao Hanqiu, she felt that this was one of the biggest problems that Yang Hong's previous two films failed.

As a result, the script was greatly modified, and as a result, romance was romantic, but the heroine became a real brothel woman with the best of her ability. Do you expect the audience to accept such a woman?

The result is naturally self-evident. "Britain" was directly banned in China because it has a large number of large-scale scenes.

Originally, according to Liao Hanqiu's intention, this movie could be completely able to go abroad to attend a film exhibition. According to Liao Hanqiu's words, it is normal to have a standard abroad, but Yang Hong directly refused.

Because this is completely inconsistent with her original intention.
