712. Difficulties of Reality Movies

In fact, there have been many directors in China doing real-life movies.

It’s just a pity that most realistic movies are either filmed too heavily or have too many personal personal products. In the end, the response is not very good.

According to reason, movies with realistic themes are not uncommon, but many are suitable for adaptation.

But there is a problem with the actual subject matter, how to commercialize it.

Realistic themes and literary films are actually different.

Most of the time, literary and artistic films are carried out on the basis of reality, and the most important thing is the director's personal ideas.

Realistic themes, such as "I Am Not a God of Medicine", are actually the most successful real-life themes in China.

In fact, there is no shortage of realist works on the market in the previous life. For example, movies such as "Su Yuan", "The Furnace", "The Gift of Room 7", "Defense Attorney", and "Horror Live" in the previous life were also talked about by Chinese movie fans. Taking "The Furnace" as an example, the real incident of a school for deaf and mute people in Gwangju, Kwanzi, is by no means just the weight of a film. Its release ultimately affected the legislation of the Kuangzi Country, which is also the practical significance of a realistic film. Those who have watched this film should remember those lines with super realistic tone: "We fought all the way, not to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us."

On the other hand, Chinese-language movies have made achievements in this regard, or there are not many movies that are well received and popular, and they can even be said to be a handful of them.

When the Chinese Kingdom in his previous life came to Wang Yifan, in fact, movies with realistic themes began to gradually land, such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Fire Hero", "Captain China", etc. The stories adapted from reality were not only successful in box office, but also had a very good reputation.

This shows that realistic themes are not niche movies. On the contrary, good shooting of realistic themes will also become a trend.

Of course, many domestic filmmakers will probably sneer at this point now, because at present, after the success of "I Am Not a God of Medicine", many directors have actually begun to focus on films with realistic themes, but in the end, they have not achieved ideal results.

To put it bluntly, no matter what kind of movie it is, telling a good story is the most fundamental thing.

......

"I understand what you mean. Just so happens that you should have paid little attention to domestic news recently, right?" Chen Hanming asked with a smile.

Wang Yifan was a little confused: "What? What big thing happened again?"

Chen Hanming shook his head and said, "No, it's not a big deal, but it has something to do with us."

"In the first half of this year, we reached a cooperation plan for the third phase of the New Star Guide Plan with the island countries, targeting the original domestic new star guide plan and targeting the island countries and Asian regions. Moreover, "Midnight Bell" has achieved amazing results. However, many netizens in China are complaining that the third phase of the New Star Guide Plan has begun to be aimed at foreign markets. So will the new star guide plan be no longer in China?" Chen Hanming said with a smile.

"Well, but the third phase of the New Star Director Program is mainly trained as a domestic new director. The candidates from the Island Country and the Bangzi Country account for less than half." Wang Yifan was a little puzzled.

"But the problem is that movies like "Midnight Bell" cannot be released in China at all, and the third episode of the new star director program, such as "Ghost Call", did achieve good results abroad, but the problem is still the same problem, and it cannot be released in China. So, to put it bluntly, it will be difficult for these people to make some movies that can be released in China for a long time." Chen Hanming spread his hands and said.

"So, what do you mean?" Wang Yifan understood a little, but asked.

"I mean, just create the fourth episode of the domestic new star director program. This time, don't you want to make a realistic movie? Then just use this as the content theme of the fourth episode of the new star director program, killing two birds with one stone!" Chen Hanming said with a smile.

Wang Yifan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had forgotten before that the third period of the New Star Director Program seemed to be held as scheduled, and it was also a continuation of the previous two periods of the New Star Director Program. However, the problem is as Chen Hanming said, horror movies, after all, are difficult to release in China, so the third period of the New Star Director Program, is somewhat "offset" in China.

"Also, realistic movies have a much better future than horror movies. Isn't "I Am Not a God of Medicine" a good example? So, I think this time, the fourth episode of the New Star Director Program will be bigger and not limited to new directors. In this way, it can not only achieve your goals, but also enhance the influence of the New Star Director Program." Chen Hanming said.

"And, to be honest, it is still difficult for new directors to shoot movies with real-life themes. After all, real-life theme movies are not as good as other movies, such movies, early preparations, etc., but they require a lot of energy, manpower and material resources. Even if ordinary new directors are willing to do these surveys, they are still a little worse in experience, etc." Chen Hanming continued to add.

"You keep talking." Wang Yifan signaled Chen Hanming to continue.

"The key is, what do you think?" Chen Hanming asked again.

"What do I think?" Wang Yifan was puzzled.

"I mean, if you just want to do a small scale movie, then there is no problem. Just follow the previous new star director plan. But if you want to expand the impact, then the investment cannot be a small amount. Do you think the new director can control it?"

"Secondly, realistic films have high requirements for actors' acting skills, and ordinary actors are not good at all. This is different from the previous movies planned by the new star director. At the same time, actors with acting skills and famous actors have high pay, and it is difficult for new directors to control them. Therefore, it is obviously not suitable to only use new directors." Chen Hanming analyzed.

Wang Yifan nodded.

This is true. Although some old actors have good acting skills and their pay seems not high, it depends on who they compare with.

Moreover, movies with realistic themes are basically narrative-oriented and plot-oriented movies. Such movies have very high requirements for actors. No matter how good the scripts are, the actors cannot get the job, or the director's skills are not enough, it is also difficult to shoot the desired effect.

Then the question is, the New Star Director Program has always been committed to cultivating new directors and cultivating fresh blood, but if it is placed on realistic topics, it is a bit inappropriate.

Because it is really difficult for new directors to shoot realistic subjects.

Too many constraints.

Although Wang Yifan seems to be filming very quickly when watching "I'm Not a God of Medicine", it is because Wang Yifan has watched this movie in advance and learned a lot about it.

Even so, Wang Yifan checked a lot of information and visited many people when filming this movie.
