806. Main theme movies
Zhou Zhan really likes the script "Donkey Des Water".
It can be said that this script perfectly fits his philosophy.
It is not too deep but commercial, but commercial movies with depth, no longer simply popcorn movies that have no impression after watching them.
In fact, Huanyu is not very satisfied, because "Donkey Dessert" is indeed a good story and a good script, but to be honest, "Donkey Dessert" does not look like a big shot.
It can be said that this may be a movie that is well received but may not be popular.
But helpless, Zhou Zhan likes such a story.
Fortunately, this time, Huanyu can also intervene in several other projects, so he gritted his teeth and had to admit it.
It was He Jun's turn soon.
He Jun, the king of police and gangster films in China, once had a greater influence than Chen Hang.
Unfortunately, the era of police and gangster movies seems to have passed, and now people prefer to watch special effects blockbusters.
Therefore, although police and gangster films cannot be said to be declining, they are indeed not as box office potential as before.
"Hello everyone, I am He Jun. Many people say that the era of police and gangster films has passed, and domestic police and gangster films have always been criticized for not being able to produce any new ideas, but I never think so."
"But, we have been limited all the time. It is often difficult for police and gangster films to have any big scenes, but the real restriction of police and gangster films, or the reason why everyone misunderstands about police and gangster films is actually the story and the script."
"Thanks to Director Wang Yifan for the story and creativity provided. This time, we will put the battlefield outside the country and have a real big scene of justice and sinful duel!"
"I wonder if you still remember the tragedy that happened in the Mekong River a few years ago? This new movie will be adapted from the real event this time, with the title of "Operation Mekong River". I believe I will bring you a real police and gangster blockbuster movie!"
What Wang Yifan gave He Jun was the film "Operation Mekong".
It can be said that this is the beginning of the main theme commercial blockbuster.
Although similar overseas law enforcement incidents are not the same in the two worlds, they also have similar cases.
And this story is very in line with He Jun's appetite? What he has always wanted to film is a police and gangster film? And "Operation Mekong" can be said to have inspired him.
The previous "European Strategy" was actually a bit false, and coupled with some unspeakable factors, so? Although the films made were good at box office? But in fact, He Jun himself was not very satisfied.
Because "The Strategy of Europe" can be said to be an almost replica of the Hollywood model? "Operation Mekong" will be a police and gangster blockbuster film with unique Chinese characteristics.
This is what He Jun is most satisfied with.
Tianfang is very satisfied with the video Wang Yifan gave to He Jun.
Because this is obviously a mainstream commercial blockbuster, it is completely different from the previous films like "Donkey Des Water".
For directors, they may have their own ideas, especially directors at this level? In fact, the restrictions on them by several giants are already very small? It can even be said that many times, they often play a service and auxiliary role in the films of these directors, and are completely unable to point fingers.
So? When encountering a director like Zhou Zhan, Huanyu is actually very depressed? When Zhou Zhan got a script like "Donkey Gets Water", he stubbornly wanted to make this movie? What can Huanyu do?
They are also helpless, can they be sure? They will never want their directors to make any films with literary attributes? They are film companies? They are commercial institutions, so naturally everything is looking towards the box office.
But there was no way for Zhou Zhan and the others.
The same is true for Tianfang. If He Jun likes a literary and artistic movie, then they will probably go crazy.
After all, it takes less than a year for a movie to be prepared to be released, especially these big directors who make movies, which is definitely not a small production, so the time period will take longer.
In a limited time, they naturally hope that these big directors can make big productions and commercial blockbusters, bringing more returns on business investment.
Instead of working hard all year, the income is very small.
But there is no way. The great directors are very independent and self-reliant. They are unhappy and can leave. For those like Chen Hang, Jiuzhou, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, dare not say anything wrong. They are also afraid that Chen Hang will be really unhappy, which will have a huge impact on them.
Simply put, giants may not be able to do without big directors, but obviously, the departure of big directors has a huge impact on giants. Especially when their own big directors leave, there are only a few opponents that will defect to. One rises and the other falls, and it is definitely not what they are willing to see.
Especially Huaxin, it can be said that they are the ones they most unwilling to see. They are already so powerful. If you poach me, will I fight to you if you believe it or not?
Therefore, there is a relationship between fish and water between them, but there is more than one pond, so if the fish leaves this pond, it can jump to other ponds. If the original pond loses this big fish, then only small fish and shrimps will be left. No matter how big the pond is, it is useless.
Back to the topic, He Jun once again proved that this Hongmen Banquet was completely dominated by Wang Yifan.
However, Wang Yifan's level of evil is far beyond everyone's imagination.
This is not that Huaxin wants to be the leader of the martial arts world, but that Wang Yifan wants to be the leader of the Chinese film industry.
And the key is that he actually succeeded.
It is conceivable how high Wang Yifan's momentum will be when the news is announced today?
And the key is that if all these movies today are successful, then Wang Yifan will basically be the number one person in Chinese movies.
But what makes people despair is that the possibility is very high. In fact, Wang Yifan cannot say that he has not failed. However, most of the failed projects are actually literary and artistic movies. It is hard to say that Wang Yifan failed in this kind of movies, because although the box office of those movies is not good, the director is not Wang Yifan, he is just a screenwriter. Secondly, these movies may not be compared with those commercial movies, but most of them are basically not losing money. What's more, most of these movies have a very good reputation. Can you say that they failed?
If that counts, then what should you do if you let the big guys who make literary and artistic movies?
If Wang Yifan's status was not stable enough in the early days, at that time, if his reputation as a victorious general was broken, it would have a great impact on him. Although it would not make him unable to recover at once, his power was definitely not that great.
