Directors who are truly responsible for the audience should rack their brains on how to make these ancient stories understandable to modern audiences.

Directors should use the core of modern people's thinking to fully integrate and recreate these classic ancient stories.

Audiences like movies with a high degree of historical restoration, but that doesn’t mean that they restore history, which means that they are completely unable to understand and form empathy.

What modern audiences want to see are, after all, film and television works that are more in line with the ideological and spiritual core of modern people.

Let me give you the simplest example. In ancient times, two peaches killed three people. It was a song of loyalty. Although it was a bit pedantic, it definitely had a positive propaganda meaning.

However, if such a story is placed in front of modern people, they will probably think that there is something wrong with the minds of these three people.

Water got in.

This is a story that is completely inconsistent with the core of modern people's aesthetic tastes and thoughts, and there is absolutely no point in adapting it.

For film directors, they must not only maintain the vision of modern people, but also tell ancient stories well, so that modern audiences can also identify or criticize such ancient stories to a certain extent, or at least let movie audiences

They resonate with the spirit of the story.

Otherwise, it can only be the director's self-admiration and will not be recognized by the audience at all.

When all factors are combined, it can be seen that, in fact, it is very difficult to shoot an excellent costume movie.

But it's obvious that Brother Hai didn't take these difficulties too seriously and didn't think about them deeply at all.

He is a person who lives a poetic life all his life. It doesn't matter how many packs of ink he has in his stomach.

The key is how he, as a director, constructs his own movie.

As we all know, film is the director's art, and this is why. Many times, directors only focus on the expression of their own hearts, and their so-called emotions and moods are often not necessarily blended into the world and can be widely accepted by the world.

.

But as the creator of the film, the director still has the right to do so. Regardless of whether the audience likes it or not, I will express my own story.

You see, the difference between art films and commercial films can be clearly seen here.

As for commercial films, the main goal of making them is to make money. If you want to express your subjective opinions as a director, that's fine.

But you have to make your work profitable.

If you don't make money, even if you are a film master or film emperor, it is absolutely impossible to attract high investments.

No fool would invest in such a project.

Do you want to express your feelings?

sure.

Go out and make a right turn to shoot literary films. Those kinds of films are all about emotions and style. No boss will talk to you about money.

Isn’t it beautiful?

However, Brother Hai...

Obviously, this is not a man who plays his cards according to common sense, and he never cares about other people's feelings.

So what if you are a distinguished investor?

As long as he is dissatisfied, even if the immortal emperor comes, he will still have to follow his arrangements.

For Hai Ge, he can explain everything clearly before the filming starts. After the filming starts, he can shoot according to the previous plan, which is already a great honor to investors and producers.

Everyone should be grateful to this old man.

He should be given three dings.

For a great stream-of-consciousness director like Hai Ge, there are definitely two different states after the shooting starts and before the shooting starts.

When he gets to a serious studio, he always shoots whatever he wants. Many times, he doesn't know which scene to shoot next.

I always take pictures wherever I think. I only have a rough outline in my mind, so I just take pictures wherever I want.

That's how willful it is.

I'm afraid, on the set, the only ones who are proud of themselves are the big stars. Brother Hai is not a director who is good at training actors. No matter you are an experienced actor who has always been famous for his acting skills or a new actor who is just starting out, when you join my brother Hai's crew

.

That is, the master opens the door, and cultivation depends on oneself.

Don't have extravagant expectations. There is no movement to lead you in. There will be no such operation at all. Brother Hai will not give you time slowly and help you polish the show bit by bit!

Whether you can act well or not is your own business and has nothing to do with me as the director. As for the unsatisfactory effects after filming, that is not my responsibility.

If the audience really doesn't give face and gives bad reviews, then that's okay, just blame it on the actors.

Anyway, I am a well-known director, ranked internationally, so is the problem still here with me?

Since it's not with me, of course it's with you.

If the director has such a mentality, the actors will feel much more relaxed on the set. Anyway, the director will not raise his eyes, frown, and yell at you to perform according to his requirements.

I won't let you try to shoot the same scene over and over again. Brother Hai, if you say he has a good temper, he is really good.

On the set, he has never been called a tyrant, and he has a very harmonious relationship with the actors.

When actors arrive on his set, they generally feel relaxed.

Anyway, whether you act well or not, you can pass the test with the director. As long as you don't have high expectations, you can naturally feel at ease.

As for those veteran drama stars who have strict requirements for themselves?

That's even simpler. After all, people are responsible for themselves. If you have high requirements for yourself, the films you shoot will naturally be of higher quality, but that is your own business. As the chief director,

It's impossible for Brother Hai to protect you.

Therefore, although Wu Di did not reject the movie Orphans of Meng, he did not have high hopes for the final effect of the movie.

Brother Hai and Lao Zhang are different.

Although Lao Zhang is stubborn, he can still listen to suggestions in the end. The main reason is that compared to Brother Hai, Lao Zhang's attitude is softer.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He knows that although as an international director, your reputation has reached a certain level, but as long as you continue to make movies, no matter you are

Whether proactive or passive, you will eventually face a process of gradually moving closer to commercialization.

After all, the current film market is a mature environment for commercialization. As a human being, of course what you can do is to adapt to the environment. Can you still imagine that the environment will condescend to adapt to you?

You do think so.

Can you succeed?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

As a senior director, Lao Zhang has already understood this point, so his goal is also very clear.

That is to transform as soon as possible, and don't wait until you have made a few bad movies and your creative inspiration has further faded before you try again.

By that time, everything is too late.

As for Brother Hai, of course he also realized that times have changed and the old way no longer works, but even so, he still sticks to his principles.

Sticking to his own artistic aesthetic, of course, in order to cater to the market, Brother Hai cannot remain unchanged. In that case, how can he attract investment?

The vest of this set still needs to be put on. As for the core, it is still the one that Brother Hai is good at.

As a result, under Brother Hai's careful operation, a series of commercial masterpieces appeared one after another.

For a long time, Hai Ge's works have always given people a hazy feeling. From a distance, they look like large-scale commercial films with all the elements. Every one of them is aiming to win the annual box office championship.

Looking closer, the spiritual core still has an ethereal flavor.

No matter what, let's make peace with it.

In Hai Ge's case, Xiao Didi can only take advantage and will never suffer a loss. After all, regardless of his fame or status in the industry, Hai Ge's position is much higher than his.

It's always good to give it a try.

Maybe it just happened?

The more he thought about it, the more comfortable Wu Di felt, it was simply great. You see, what is a child of luck? Just look at Boss Wu and you will know.

If you look at the entire entertainment industry, besides Xiao Wu, who else can shoulder the responsibility of two major directors?

Tell me loudly!

Who else?

Isn't this enough proof of his ability?

However, what kind of role is Brother Hai going to arrange for him?

It's definitely not the kind with a very good character, although Brother Hai has never revealed a single clue to him.

She even always patted her chest and promised him that she would make good arrangements for him. However, even so, Wu Di was ready.

There is a good character. How could Brother Hai think of him?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

But, how can a bad character be a bad actor? Wu Di is really curious, because he has watched all the movies of Mengshi Orphans!
