The Director of Music Department

Realistic movies, in fact, many directors in China have been working on them.

It’s just a pity that most realistic movies are either too heavy to make, or too many personal possessions are carried by individuals, and the response is not very good in the end.

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

However, there is a problem with realistic themes, how to commercialize them.

Realistic themes and literary movies are actually two different things.

Literary and artistic films, most of the time, have undergone a lot of artistic processing on the basis of reality, and the most important thing is the director's personal ideas.

Realistic themes, such as "I'm Not the God of Medicine", are actually the most successful domestic reality themes.

In fact, there is no shortage of realist themes in the market in the previous life. For example, the movies such as "Suyuan", "The Melting Pot", "The Gift of Room No. 7", "The Defender", "Terror Live" and other movies on the previous life stick have also been talked about by Chinese movie fans. . Take "The Melting Pot" as an example. It is not just a film that is based on the real incidents of a school for the deaf and mute in Gwangju, Bangzi Country. Its release ultimately affected the Bangzi Country's legislation, which is also a real-world film harvest. The practical significance of. Anyone who has watched this film should remember those very realistic lines: "We are fighting 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 some achievements in this area, or there are really not many popular and popular movies, and they can even be said to be very few.

In the previous life of China, when Wang Yifan crossed over, it was actually reality-themed movies gradually starting to land on the beach, such as "Wolf Warriors 2", such as "Fire Heroes", such as "Chinese Captain", etc., adapted from reality In the end, not only did it succeed at the box office, but it was also very good in word of mouth.

This shows that realistic themes are not niche movies. On the contrary, it will become a trend to make good realistic themes.

Of course, if you say this now, many domestic filmmakers will probably sneer, because at present, after "I'm Not the God of Medicine", many directors have begun to focus on realistic themes of movies with realistic themes. The film, but in the end, did not get the desired results.

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

......

"I understand what you mean. It just so happens that you should rarely pay attention to domestic news recently?" Chen Hanming asked with a smile.

Wang Yifan was a little puzzled: "What? What's the matter?"

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 the third phase of the cooperation plan of the New Star Guidance Program with the island countries. The original domestic new star guidance program was targeted at the island countries and the Asian region, and "Midnight Ring" achieved amazing results. However, there are many domestic netizens who are complaining, and the third phase of the New Star Guidance Program has begun to face foreign markets. So, is the New Star Guidance Program no longer in China?" Chen Hanming said with a smile.

"Um, but the third phase of the New Star Guidance Project mainly trains domestic new directors. The island countries and the stick countries only account for less than half." Wang Yifan was a little puzzled.

"However, the problem is that movies like "Midnight Ring" cannot be released in China at all, and the third phase of the Rising Star Project, such as "Ghost Call", did achieve good results abroad, but the problem is still that. There is no way to show them in China, so these people will, to put it bluntly, for a long time, it will be difficult to make some movies that can be released in China." Chen Hanming said.

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

"I mean, simply, make a domestic Rising Star Guidance Project Phase 4, this time, don’t you want to make a realistic movie? Then just use this as the content theme of the Rising Star Guidance Project Phase 4, killing two birds with one stone!" Chen Hanming said with a smile.

Wang Yifan's eyes also brightened when he heard this. He had forgotten before. The third phase of the New Star Guidance Project seems to be held as scheduled, and it is also a continuation after the first two phases of the New Star Guidance Project. But the problem is like Chen Hanming said, the type of horror film After all, it’s difficult to release movies in China, so the third phase of the Rising Star Project is actually "off the stage" in China.

"Furthermore, reality-themed movies have a lot more money than horror movies. Isn't "I'm Not the God of Medicine" a good example? So, I think that this time the fourth phase of the New Star Guidance Project, simply Be bigger, and don’t limit yourself to new directors. In this way, you can not only achieve your goals, but also increase the influence of the New Star Guidance Project.” Chen Hanming said.

"Furthermore, real-life movies. To tell the truth, it is still difficult for new directors to make these kinds of movies. After all, real-life movies are no better than other movies. For this kind of movies, preliminary preparations, etc., need to be spent. A lot of energy, manpower and material resources. The average new director, even if he is willing to do these investigations, is still a bit worse in terms of experience." Chen Hanming continued to add.

"You continue." Wang Yifan motioned to Chen Hanming to continue.

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

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

"What I mean is, if you just want to make a small-scale movie with a realistic theme, then it’s okay. You can use the previous new star guide plan. But if you want to expand the impact, then the investment cannot be a small amount. , And you think the new director can manage it?"

"Secondly, real-life movies require high actors' acting skills, and ordinary actors are not good at all. This is different from the previous films of the Rising Stars Project. At the same time, actors with acting skills and famous actors have high pay, and It is also difficult for new directors to manage, so it is obviously not suitable to only use new directors." Chen Hanming analyzed.

Wang Yifan nodded.

This is indeed the case. Don't look at some old dramas with good acting skills and low pay, but it depends on who you compare.

Moreover, realistic-themed movies must basically be narrative and plot-oriented movies. This kind of movies requires actors, which are not generally high. For some movies, no matter how good the script is, the actors cannot match them, or the directors. If the skill is not enough, it is also difficult to achieve the desired effect.

So here comes the problem. The Rising Stars Project has always been dedicated to cultivating new directors and cultivating new blood, but if it is placed on realistic themes, it is somewhat inappropriate.

Because of the new director, it is really difficult to shoot realistic subjects.

There are too many constraints.

Don't watch "I'm Not the God of Medicine" as if Wang Yifan was quick to shoot, but that was because Wang Yifan had watched this movie beforehand and learned a lot about it.

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