The Director of Music Department

Chen Shaojun's wedding is over.

Chen Shaojun is married, so Wang Yifan was not used to it for a while.

The point is, this guy, using the excuse of getting married and going on a honeymoon, directly threw the entire crew of "King Kong" to the two assistant directors.

Well, in fact, the shooting cycle of big productions is not longer than that of other movies.

For example, "Titanic" lasted nearly three years, but in fact, most of the time was actually spent on preparatory work.

The real shooting time is actually only a few months.

The same is true for "King Kong". The pre-production is quite long, but when it comes to the shooting stage, it doesn't take that much time.

Of course, Sunglass King's shooting method is unique.

A lot of shots were taken, but not many were usable.

It is impossible for a big production to shoot a large number of shots and then discard them like a literary film.

Commercial production, most of the time, is done according to the predetermined plan, and few people do things that are not planned.

After all, every day, every shot, it costs a lot of money.

Moreover, for literary and artistic films, directors usually don’t need to think about the box office at all, or the issue of return on investment, at least most literary and artistic film directors will not consider this issue.

But commercial film directors are different. They must consider these issues, otherwise, who would dare to invest in you?

A movie with a small cost of several million may not matter, but a movie with a cost of hundreds of millions, who would not be under pressure?

This is also why many literary and artistic film directors can patiently grind foreign jobs over and over again, and the actors who grind them will collapse, but they still remain the same.

On the contrary, commercial film directors are extremely violent on the set. The truck driver was once called a tyrant on the set, not only because of his violent temper, but also because of the pressure on him, which is unimaginable to many others of.

In fact, Chen Shaojun was also under tremendous pressure.

Even if "King Kong" loses, he can afford to lose, but the problem is that no one is willing or wants to fail.

Therefore, during the filming of "King Kong", Chen Shaojun was also full of pressure, and even Wang Yifan wondered whether it was because of this reason that Chen Shaojun chose to get married at this time for honeymoon in order to relax?

Well, these are not nonsense.

On the other hand, Li Mingjuan's "Super Body" has already started shooting. Although "Super Body" is also a sci-fi movie, it can only be regarded as a low-budget sci-fi movie at best.

Because "Super Body" involves not many special effects shots.

Of course, if it is true that the investment in a film is several hundred million, it is estimated that Li Mingjuan may not even dare to make it.

In the current situation in China, the pressure to pay back the investment faced by large investments is enormous.

For example, generally speaking, if a movie invests 100 million yuan, plus the cost of publicity and distribution, if it is 50 million yuan, then the final box office must be at least three times the cost to pay back.

In other words, the investment includes the cost of publicity and distribution. For a movie of 150 million yuan, it must have a box office of 450 million yuan in order not to lose money.

This number seems to be very simple, but in fact, it is not so easy.

Because in the current movie market, the cost budget of publicity and distribution is getting higher and higher. If a movie wants to sell well and wants to arrange enough movies, it must first publicize in the early stage, and then engage in word-of-mouth public relations after the screening. It costs money.

Then, online and offline material delivery and so on.

time flies.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

Ma Qingshan's "Alive" has achieved quite good results at the East Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival.

It's just a pity that, as "Alive" shined overseas, but in the end, after returning to China, Ma Qingshan got a bad news.

"Alive" is stuck!

Also, no reason was given.

In fact, this is very clear, "To Live" was eventually banned.

Although the script was reviewed at the beginning, in fact, this movie has always had problems with review.

That is to say, Ma Qingshan, a famous director in China, made this movie. Otherwise, the script of such a movie would not pass the review.

Many things involved in "To Live" are too sensitive. After all, although the background of "To Live" is the old society, it spans decades.

Well, those are actually secondary, mainly in the theme of the movie, the theme expressed is: the philosophy of life, kind and humble people are always working hard for their own survival, always losing, but always In getting, that's being alive.

To be honest, this is really negative energy.

Because the philosophy of life is too profound for the general public! Also too negative energy.

Maybe people who like it will say that although "To Live" is a very profound movie, although it has been telling about tragedy, the tragedy of Fugui's life, it is actually a philosophy of life.

But for ordinary people, all they can see is what they have been losing and gaining all the time, maybe it is a humble life? But what's the point?

Therefore, "Alive" was banned.

Even if the screenwriter of this movie is Wang Yifan, even if the director of this movie is Ma Qingshan.

But in fact, if it weren't for this, the film wouldn't even have the chance to be exhibited.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Wang Yifan was a little surprised that after the news that "To Live" was "finished", Ma Qingshan was not at all disappointed.

"Actually, I had expected it a long time ago. For the director and for me, I felt a lot of things when I was filming "To Live", but when I was filming, many people in the crew didn't understand it. I think this movie is too depressing. Fugui is actually not universal. He is just like the negative news reported by many media. He is only the most unique and the least representative! He cannot represent the majority of ordinary people, he can only represent He himself, therefore, is banned, I am prepared!" Ma Qingshan said lightly.

"I thought you would be disappointed, but it seems I was overthinking." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Have you already thought about it?" Ma Qingshan asked.

Wang Yifan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Be mentally prepared!"

"I just don't know what Chairman Lin thinks, eh." Ma Qingshan said with a wry smile.

Wang Yifan laughed and said, "I always thought that you made literary films and never considered the issue of return on investment. I didn't expect you, Ma, to be different."

Ma Qingshan gave Wang Yifan an angry look and said, "Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

Wang Yifan smiled without saying a word.

However, Ma Qingshan sighed and said: "This is one of the reasons why literary and artistic films have declined. Many literary and artistic film directors never thought about it at all when they were making movies or when they received investment. Ben's problem. As a result, a vicious circle has formed, after all, how many literary films can win awards?"
