Chapter 320 Award-winning mode

"Spring in a Small Town" is a literary and artistic movie.

Through the emotional story of three people who seem to advance but cannot stop, and are entangled together, they express the implicitness and forbearance of the Eastern people just right, without being ostentatious and artificial, and the rhythm is soothing.

The inner scenes of the characters are the highlight of the film.

The movie does not use realistic techniques and is slightly abstract.

In this declining small town, there are no streets, shops and neighbors in the camera, only one family and five characters.

The city walls that appear many times are undoubtedly a symbol, symbolizing traditional culture and the walls deep in everyone's heart.

The whole film tells not only the feelings between men and women, but also the confusion and depression that followed after the war. The old things are already ruined, and the new world outside is still not sure what is going on.

No one can tell the future clearly.

Lin Zixuan only thought of "Spring in a Small Town" through "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". A martial arts drama is not comparable to a literary film, mainly because of the similarities in the characters' relationships.

That is the emotional concept of intellectuals influenced by traditional culture.

He felt that "Spring in a Small Town" should be filmed, and the actors were the three in front of him. Director Chen and Yu Feihong played Dai Liyan and Zhou Yuwen, and Wang Zhiwen played Zhang Zhichen, a young doctor who returned from Shanghai.

These three people all say they are from the south.

Wang Zhiwen is from Shanghai City, Yu Feihong is from Zhejiang Province, and Chen Daoming was born in Tianjin, but his hometown is from Zhejiang Province.

It should have a good effect to interpret an emotional entanglement that took place in a small town in Jiangnan.

Haomeng Company has been shooting entertainment films, and it has made a lot of money. However, in the domestic film and television industry, looking at the foundation of a company, funds are on the one hand, and whether there are any works that can be produced is on the other hand.

This work refers to being recognized by people in the circle, winning heavyweight awards, especially winning big prizes internationally.

After all, art films still have the upper hand in the domestic film circle.

Feng Xiaogang's New Year films were so popular at the box office, and some people still criticized them. If they want to be recognized, they have to win awards to block their mouths.

Good Dream Company has made a good move in the path of commercial films and will start the winning mode in the future so that it can enhance its heritage and become a film and television company that has achieved both business and art.

Will not make New Year's films next year, Lin Zixuan plans to invest in two to three art films.

Art films focus on meticulous craftsmanship. Unlike low-cost entertainment films, you can invest millions. Just look at Zhang Yimou and you will know that people have at least tens of millions of dollars in large investments.

Whether it is the arrangement of scenes or photographers, they are looking for top talents in the industry to strive for excellence.

However, there are also low-cost art films, such as "The Two of Us", which can be shot for hundreds of thousands of yuan, but in terms of picture and structure, it is impossible to compare with Zhang Yimou's films.

Lin Zixuan did not intend to compare with Zhang Yimou, he was following the route of low-cost art films.

The film "Spring in a Small Town" is not complicated in itself, the plot is simple, with only five actors and no gorgeous props are needed, just a dilapidated house in the Jiangnan style and a mottled city wall.

According to Lin Zixuan's estimate, as long as the actors and behind-the-scenes staff can be controlled, the filming can be completed with three million yuan.

One of his films was that the company needs to transform and make two art movies that can win awards. He also thinks that this movie is very meaningful in this era.

In the 1990s, Chinese society developed very quickly, and people's life was growing wildly and they didn't know how to control it.

This movie may bring something different to the current society.

To be honest, under the impact of Hollywood blockbusters, this slow-paced art film is not in line with the taste of domestic audiences. It will definitely lose money in the domestic film market and can only take the international route.

In this way, Director Chen, Yu Feihong and others can be introduced to the international film industry, which has a certain influence in the West.

Then the chances of success will be higher when filming the movie version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the future, and you will have to do it step by step.

Lin Zixuan didn't tell them for the time being, and he had to wait until the script came out before talking. Maybe they had different opinions about the characters. This is all a matter of certainty. Anyway, it's still early, so don't worry.

At the end of June, director Li An returned to Baodao to promote one of his films.

He is from Baodao. He graduated from the National Arts Department of Baodao. Later, he went to the United States to study and studied film production at New York University.

After graduation, he had six years of unemployed at home. Later, he filmed many award-winning art films and became famous. He successfully entered the mainstream film circle in Hollywood and gained recognition from Hollywood film companies.

Among the Chinese directors in Hollywood, he is one of the best.

This time when he returns to Baodao, Li An will not stay for too long. There is still a movie in Hollywood waiting for him to shoot.

In the American film circle, Chinese directors don’t have much chance of making movies. Even if they have to shoot, they are still low-cost movies, such as thrillers and horror movies.

It is not easy to receive a big production with an investment of tens of millions of dollars.

This is the difference between the mainstream film industry and the non-mainstream film industry. If you haven’t made large-scale productions, you won’t be considered as entering the ranks of mainstream Hollywood directors. Li An’s next film will be invested tens of millions of dollars.

After years of hard work, he obtained a pass to enter the mainstream Hollywood film industry.

At home in Baodao, Li An occasionally saw a TV series. When you watch the actors and scenes, you will know that it is not a Hong Kong and Taiwan drama, but a martial arts drama filmed in the mainland.

In recent years, with the prosperity of the mainland TV drama market, Baodao TV stations will purchase dramas produced in the mainland.

The most popular one is the historical drama starring Zhang Guoli and Li Baotian, which has achieved extremely high ratings in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which has enhanced confidence in mainland TV dramas.

They try to buy the types that local audiences like, mainly historical themes, and martial arts dramas are also included.

Lin Zixuan and Baodao's TV stations have cooperated and sold "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to Baodao.

Although the price is not high, he can make a little profit. What he didn't expect was that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is more popular in the mainland on Treasure Island.

This is the first time that the audience in Baodao has come into contact with a martial arts drama in mainland China and finds it new.

It’s like eating the same taste of food every day, and it’s good to change it occasionally, especially the two actors, Director Chen and Yu Feihong, which brings different feelings to the audience in Baodao.

Director Chen became the idol of middle-aged and elderly women in Baodao, and Yu Feihong also gained the admiration of countless men in Baodao.

Baodao TV wanted to invite two people to Baodao to conduct publicity activities, but Director Chen did not agree.

After watching a few episodes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and thought the story was interesting. Mainland TV series pay more attention to scenes and literary dramas. This drama has cultural heritage and is more grand than the martial arts dramas in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He paid attention and learned that the original author was a mainlander named Lin Zixuan. (To be continued.)
