Chapter 403 The director is very depressed
Yi Zhiyan has been playing and disappearing since he won the prize in France. Of course, it was not the director who won the prize himself who wanted to disappear. It was just a gamble after falling into an embarrassing situation. ∑, who was originally proud in Cannes, suddenly became the director who won the prize. Although he knew that he could not compete with those old men, Lao Liu, and the old monsters, he was only one line away. However, the director who won the prize abroad thought that he didn't know what the newspapers in Taipei praised him.
Well, this is just a scene of Yi Zhiyan hypnotizing before going to bed. In fact, this young director is still very pragmatic. At least in terms of the number of works, there is still a big gap between himself and famous directors. Work hard and come on. For this goal, Yi Zhiyan stayed in France for a while and was seeking to continue to cooperate with the French side. But things didn’t go as expected. Of course, he was willing to cooperate with France, but the money was really not much. How much money could a person who works in art films have?
This made Yi Zhiyan a little unhappy. I also won the Best Director Award for Director. Will multiple hundreds of thousands of euros die? The fact is that the French are spreading their hands together, and we really don’t have much money. Yi Zhiyan realized that the French are not fooling themselves, but that it is really impossible to give themselves two or three million euros at a time to film. Anyway, after returning to Taipei, he is still unable to find an investment with the halo of the grand prize?
As a result, the director of the grand prize was slapped in the face. In the Taipei film industry, no one invested tens of millions of dollars to make movies. For this reason, Lao Hou also persuaded director Xiaoyi to earnestly. The original saying goes: Movies are an art, and money cannot measure the achievements of artistic works.
Director Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said that you just have no money. I was so disappointed in my heart. Waiting for "Taipei 9-to-5" to be released, the box office jumped so hard. Yi Zhiyan was unhappy again. This film won’t be awarded, but it can still earn more than 7 million yuan in box office? Just kidding, it hasn’t been released yet, and it will be more than 8 million yuan when it is released. Do the audience like to watch salty and wet movies so much? Art, you need art to cleanse your soul.
So Yi Zhiyan disappeared for a while and really needed time to adjust the gap in his heart. By the way, he waited for the release of "Blue Gate" to regain confidence and slap everyone loudly.
On September 1st, "Blue Gate" was released throughout Taiwan, and a small premiere was held in a cinema specializing in broadcasting art films in Ximending. The distributors also preached the right medicine. Those who watched this film must be fresh and fresh young people, middle-aged and old people. However, Yi Zhiyan was a little dissatisfied, and actually a little uneasy. If the box office exceeded "Taipei 9-5", it would not mean that he would be disgraceful.
The director was absent-minded, and Du Hanwen, who came to attend the premiere, was also absent-minded. There were so many things. If Xu Wei-ying hadn't dragged him to come to this premiere, she would have been a little reluctant to come to this premiere.
The paparazzi were very happy because they had not gathered all of these four main creators since they won the award in Blue Gate. Not to mention asking some interesting questions. Now the opportunity has finally come, so how can they not be enthusiastic?
"Is it true that the two kisses in the poster?"
"Xiaomei, what do you think about the love of a woman?"
"Anning, when you were shopping with Miss Zhang Junning, would you be called the wrong name?"
"Dudu, what do you think of Xiaomei's acting skills?"
"Dudu, can you accept the love of a woman?"
The reporters asked questions excitedly, as if they had forgotten Yi Zhiyan, who had prepared a lot of drafts. There was no way. The readers were not interested in the director. They were not Ang Lee, and they didn't go to Hollywood to shoot movies, nor did they go to Japan to shoot movies. There was really nothing to talk about. Not even saying that they were forgotten by everyone, Yi Zhiyan found that he was gradually introduced to the problem circle by the reporters.
It's really a big deal. Yi Zhiyan is speechless, it's fine if he is ignored in France. After all, it's an occasion where big names are gathering, with international superstars everywhere. But in Taipei, I'm also a director who won the grand prize. A good premiere, no one asked me questions. Can it work? The worst thing is that it seems that these people are ignoring their anger. Can't you tell me that my brother is losing his face?
Yi Zhiyan blamed these paparazzi because they didn't see it at all. Of course, some people would still notice Yi Zhiyan, each with their own love. The paparazzi represents business and secular. Outside this circle, two or three big cats and kittens are wandering beside Yi Zhiyan, which is a niche literature and art. These people are really for the content of the movie, not because Du Hanwen starred, and are instigated by content like the love of women. The touched Yi Zhiyan almost choked up and was patient, communicating with each audience member who came to talk to him, and even talked about interesting stories about going to France.
Du Hanwen is too lazy to care about Yi Zhiyan. This film has received a pay symbolically, which can basically be regarded as a voluntary labor. The purpose of this film is utilitarian, so don’t mention any face. Du Hanwen doesn’t think he will have the opportunity to cooperate with this award director. A creative director is too sensitive to the market. This guy actually thinks that he should continue to create a pure lace-edged film. Brother, don’t be funny, okay? Your success in this film comes from the addition of brother and the change in Lin Yuezhen’s role. Alas, of course, you can’t blame Yi Zhiyan. You can’t tell him that you think too much, so you should continue to settle down.
Without market sensitivity, I feel that Yi Zhiyan is going astray and I am too lazy to correct it. This just shows that my vision is just like the question asked by the reporter in front of me.
"Dudu, you and Vivian invested in "Taipei 9-5" and participated in "Blue Gate". Two new-style feature films that are different from New Wave movies, and they both seem to have been a great success. Are you ready to develop into the film industry? Are you going to go to Hong Kong or Japan?" asked the paparazzi.
Du Hanwen smiled, "No, first of all, I don't think it's a great success. Compared with the seniors who have achieved brilliant achievements in the film industry, I am just lucky and met the favor of success. Even compared to director Yi Zhiyan, there are still many things to learn. The film industry is still a very distant thing for me. I am only twenty-four years old, and I still have a lot of experience to learn and settle. Maybe one day I will transform into a filmmaker, but it is definitely not now. I also hope to discuss movies with more filmmakers. I am very interested in new era genre films."
He told the truth, but it just covered up some unexpressed meaning. These words were nonsense to the layman, but it made sense to the insider. At least Yi Zhiyan pricked his ears and knew that Du Hanwen seemed to be very interested in investing in movies. This is enough. The original intention was to let these people know that their interest was investing in filming, not publishing and making money.
Investing in filmmaking and production and distribution are two different concepts. Investment can be any person with capital. Production and distribution, which is naturally something that only experts can do. Du Hanwen uses this concept to let the people in the film industry know that he is not interested in bringing Kemi Ruizhi into the film industry. Of course, it is not that Du Hanwen is not interested in movies, but that he is not interested in Chinese films these days. Especially local films in Taipei, which are not money-lossing goods. In other words, people who can still remember the box office and the production cost can pick out a few movies that can be successful. Otherwise, why is the film industry in the cold winter these days, and the works they shoot are all at a loss, and someone invests will be a pity. This is a negative cycle.
Fame is accumulated bit by bit, and it is not recognized if you invest in a movie that makes money. One is luck, two movies make money, and three movies make money, that means you have a good vision. So when facing media questions, Du Hanwen also said it was very vague, and a humble attitude should still be achieved. The entertainment industry has never accepted rebelliousness. This is a capital market, controlled resources are good resources, and rational partners are good partners.
It was a premiere held in the Art Theater, which was simple and reserved. The theme was to watch movies, so the things that bothered Du Hanwen did not last long and entered the theme. Xu Weining was very happy. She hadn't watched movies with Du Hanwen in the cinema for several years, let alone watching the movies she starred in. Could this experience be the only experience in her life? The little girl has reached the age of sentimentality. As a college sister about to graduate, the girl can feel some confusion facing social pressure.
Those students who have never received any performance opportunities in three years are confused about their future. Only a few students have clear goals. Rainie Yang is not one of the girls who has made a model of future by relying on herself. As for herself, without Du Hanwen, what the hell is she? Xu Weining has this perception. Of course, she doesn't agree with it at all. This is the benefit of growing up since the age of a girl. Xu Weining has taken Du Hanwen to arrange his future for granted. She never thought that if Du Hanwen let go, it would be unimaginable.
"I want to go to college, too." Xu Weining told Du Hanwen seriously. This is Xu Weining's world. She thought that she could tell Du Hanwen everything and that he would do everything for him. For example, if he had no confidence in college, of course, it refers to a university that only gifted students can get into in the eyes of the public, such as the university that Zhang Junning went to.
Du Hanwen of course understood what Xu Weiyin meant, touched the girl's head, and made a good suggestion, "How about studying abroad?"
"I haven't thought about it." Xu Weining was stunned. In a simple world, she never thought about studying abroad.
"For example, go to the mainland with Xiaomei to learn performances." Du Hanwen said.
Xu Weining looked at Gui Lunmei beside her, "Xiaomei, why do you want to study performance in the mainland?"
Gui Lunmei smiled sweetly, "You are stupid, save money."
"What a bad reason." Xu Weining smiled. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
