Chapter 431: The Road to Becoming a Great Director! Three Kingdoms Series! (23)

acting.

Still guidance!
Some are unavoidable, and some are involuntary.

Didn't grasp it!

Big sister is so good at playing!

Her voice is soft and sweet, her smile is lovely, and she is well maintained. She looks young, in her forties, but only around thirty.

Having given birth to a child makes one more charming.

Active and sensible.

The attitude is very clear and playful.

I followed the roadshow for so many days just to look for opportunities.

Looking for opportunities to improve your acting skills!

I want to improve so much!
Leaving behind He Qing, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion from constantly mobilizing emotions and pursuing the ultimate acting skills.

Shen Santong went to China Film Academy.

He Qing is an interlude. It is a bit surprising that she still wants to study acting at her age.

It makes sense when you think about it.

Forty is the time when your professional abilities are at their peak.

It must be admitted that these actors in the 1960s were all very good at having fun.

He Qing's ex-husband Xu Yajun, who plays Qi Tongwei, has been married four times.

The other Qing, Xu Qing, is still avoiding her mother's limelight.

Then, 18 years later, for some reason, he could not show his face in public.

Wang Zhiwen, one of the representative actors of the 1960s, also has a rich love history.

After enough fun, we got married at the beginning of this year.

China Film.

When Shen Santong saw Han Sanping, the other party laughed out loud.

High spirits.

The blockbuster strategy is correct!

It was because the previous director was not good!
After the greetings, Han Sanping asked Shen Santong for his opinion: "There will be a celebration banquet tomorrow. Little Pony Li Ming wants to come. Should we let him come?"

This celebration banquet was organized by China Film Group Corporation, after all, it was the largest investor and was also an important producer.

Shen Santong said: "Is it still about Ning Hao? I said, I have never banned him."

Han Sanping opened up: "Xiao Ma Pentium and Wu Yusen are very close and are discussing the creation of a new movie."

"Maybe Wu Yusen asked for help. Red Cliff won't be taken off the screen for a while, so he should still be trying to struggle. I hope you won't keep chasing him."

Shen Santong couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Ma still wants to invest in Wu Yusen's movie, what's the purpose? Wu Yusen's mind is no longer on movies."

Han Sanping said: "There is a saying now that Wu Yusen just met you because of bad luck. You understand our film market better. He still has the ability."

Shen Santong said nothing: "Come whenever you want, forget about Ning Hao's matter, I don't blame him, I really don't care."

He is now focusing on doing his own thing.

The arrangement for Ning Hao is to use "No Man's Land" to win the international awards and bring down the status of the international awards.

If Ning Hao fails to shoot "No Man's Land", Shen Santong will have some problems.

Besides, he was already strong enough and understood the principle that the strong are easily broken.

Shen Santong set a code of conduct and only spoke for the film.

Movies compete for box office, and it is justified to criticize anyone. So, do less irrelevant things in the future.

Chen Kexin was right. He did care too much for a period of time.

Shen Sandong said: "Ning Hao is Ning Hao, I promoted him. What did Xiao Ma have to do with the conflict between Wu Yusen and me over Red Cliff? Who do they count as?"

Unlike his previous life, Ning Hao was promoted by Shen Santong in this life.

Even if they announced that Ning Hao would be banned, it would only be a move to clear the house.

When it comes to reconciliation, the status must be equal.

The only person who could be said to have helped him was Han Sanping, who helped him when he had a conflict with Huayi.

Galloping Pony is nothing, it's just a bunch of bullshit.

Han Sanping just wanted more forces to enter the film industry and had no intention of interfering: "I'm just passing on a message."

Talking about the key points: "The projects of Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang have been launched, and we at China Film Group will invest. We will definitely give you the greatest support."

That's the point.

Shen Santong nodded: "It's time for us to have the say in historical blockbusters. Let's take a look at the films made by Hong Kong directors."

"At least the box office returns for movies like 'Hero' and 'The Promise' can be recovered."

“Hong Kong directors not only have a bad reputation, but they can’t even make up for their box office losses.” Was “Hero” really bad back then?
When the film was released, Shen Santong had just been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and still had a filter for the film and television industry, so he just watched some things for fun.

Looking back now, it’s quite interesting.

For many young directors, the first thing they do when they meet every day is to discuss how to criticize "Hero".

However, in 02, the audience liked "Hero".

It's all thanks to the contrast with other films in the same genre.

Art films are constantly complaining without reason, and mission films have rather dull narratives. In comparison, "Hero" is much better.

The reason why "Hero" has been attacked by everyone is that some people do not want domestic films to be commercialized and do not like the old pattern to change.

We also don’t want to see the film market controlled by domestic commercial films.

I hope that like the Taiwanese and Korean films, the market will be given to Hollywood, and the academy will give the right to speak to literary and artistic and marginal films.

As for the later "House of Flying Daggers", "The Promise" and "Curse of the Golden Flower", new forces have joined the critics.

At the end of 03, the Hong Kong circle moved north and set their sights on this piece of meat.

Of course, it is undeniable that there are problems with the quality of the film.

When "Hero" was released, audiences had never seen this type of film product.

The supply is insufficient to meet the demand, so there is a value-added premium.

With more and more costume blockbusters, only high-quality movies will have added value premium.

Similar situations have occurred in later generations. With the expansion of theater chains and supply being less than demand, "Tiny Times" can sell well, and many variety shows and movies can also sell well. Making movies is the same as making business. IP+traffic can also sell well.

When supply exceeds demand, shoddy products are no longer acceptable.

Only quality films can make money.

Even if a good movie is not scheduled to be screened frequently at the beginning, it can still become popular through word of mouth.

The film is so breakable!

According to normal logic, after some failed costume blockbusters, high-quality products should be produced.

But I didn’t follow this logic.

In the past, costume blockbusters quickly became stinky and rotten.

The entire chain does not follow the mainland’s development logic, but the Hong Kong style.

Many Hong Kong films are bad in this way.

They rushed in and quickly ruined a popular topic.

In 08, the film market’s autonomy was not strong enough and market logic could not be used.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry got involved and produced two super bad movies, "The Warlords" and "Red Cliff", as well as some small and medium-sized bad movies such as "Resurrection of the Dragon" and "The Beauty of the Kingdom".

Among them, Han Sanping also played a bad role.

In order to recoup the investment for "The Warlords" and "Red Cliff", they did not follow the basic market logic and forced the screening.

The audience was disgusted, and costume blockbusters and historical themes suddenly became a bad thing.

There is also external guidance here.

At this point in time, the external intervention forces are still very strong.

With the success of "Lust, Caution" in the past, it was just a borderline to shoot passionate scenes.

Or maybe go and film the Holocaust to win an award.

Costume blockbusters completely fell out of favor after 08, and there has been no reboot for many years.

Han Sanping talked about the next two big projects: "These two films will cost more than 400 million yuan. Do you decide to let newcomers shoot them?"

Shen Santong: "As co-directors, I am the producer and first director, controlling the entire film. We have to give them opportunities. Directing is a technical job, and you can't succeed without hands-on experience."

The two plays "Cao Cao" and "Zhuge Liang" are Shen Santong's attempt to build on the success of "Red Cliff" and regain the right to speak on historical blockbusters.

It completes the logic that was not completed in the previous life, and produces high-quality costume blockbusters and historical blockbusters.

When the subject matter is flooded, high-quality works have a premium.

These two films are mainly controlled by Locomotive Films, which accounts for 30% of the market share.

China Film Group is the main investor and also holds a 30% share.

The remaining 40% accepts external investment, shares risks, and is sold at a premium.

Shen Santong not only receives director's salary, but also demands a share of the box office revenue, which shows his appeal.

7 month 15 day.

A grand banquet was held to celebrate the success of Shen Santong's "Red Cliff".

The event was of very high standard, with leaders from the Film Bureau and the Propaganda Department all present.

Ning Hao stood like a minion and attended the celebration banquet with mixed feelings.

He found that no one paid attention to him.
