The Director of Music Department

Compared with other directors, Li Mingjuan, who is from Haixi, is obviously more trustworthy, so Yang Ming found Li Mingjuan on behalf of Haixi City.

I hope to invest and sponsor Li Mingjuan to make a film that highlights the local cultural characteristics of Haixi.

Li Mingjuan naturally hopes to be able to contribute to her hometown, but the problem is that, let alone Li Mingjuan, there are not many people who can really do this kind of propositional composition in Huaguo.

Director Yang is kind and sincere, but she knows exactly how much Li Mingjuan weighs.

She simply didn't have the ability to meet the requirements of Director Yang and the Haixi government, so she thought of Wang Yifan.

Yang Ming naturally knows Wang Yifan's name, but Wang Yifan is not from Haixi, and people don't necessarily see the sponsorship from Shanghai West, especially this time, Haixi's request is to make a film that can highlight the local characteristics movie of.

And everyone knows that movies with local characteristics are difficult to be accepted by the whole country.

In particular, Haixi is located in southern Fujian and speaks Hokkien with local characteristics. How can it be so easy to go out of Haixi and go to the whole country?

And the point is, Haixi and Wang Yifan have never dealt with each other, but Li Mingjuan is different, she started as Wang Yifan's assistant director.

It can be said that Wang Yifan has been kind to her, and Li Mingjuan highly respects Wang Yifan.

Especially the few small projects jointly launched by Wang Yifan and Huaxin. There are no big directors or big stars, but they are still small and big. Everyone knows that this is not only about discerning people, but more importantly, the script!

Big movies may have limited effects from the script, but for small-budget movies, script creativity is really crucial.

For big productions, innovation equals increased risk, but for small-budget films, creativity is worth ten thousand dollars!

As for Wang Yifan's several projects, the first two have achieved what can be said to be a huge success, and his ability as a screenwriter is beyond doubt.

That's why Director Yang and Li Mingjuan came to visit the class.

"Director Yang, what specific requirements does Haixi City have?" Wang Yifan asked noncommittally.

Yang Ming attached great importance to this meeting. After pondering for a moment, he carefully organized his words and said: "Actually, we also sponsored some film series earlier, but to be honest, most of them just went to Haixi to shoot scenes, and the effect was very mediocre."

"Last year, we in Haixi all voted for a period drama, but it was only broadcast in our Fujian Province, and the ratings were average."

"We also want to sponsor some films made by big directors like Director Wang, but the scripts are often difficult to hook up with our Haixi City, so we wondered if we could ask someone to customize a script, and then we would provide funds and find someone by ourselves Let’s shoot. The requirements are naturally to highlight the local culture of Haixi, and it is best to show the characteristics of Haixi..." Yang Ming said the request.

But in fact, what Yang Ming said is too general.

"In fact, many cultures in Fujian Province and Baodao have the same origin, and the dialects are also the same. Why doesn't Haixi ask people from Baodao for help?" Wang Yifan asked curiously.

Yang Ming smiled wryly and remained silent. Li Mingjuan looked at Yang Ming and said, "Actually, I have asked Director Yang about this. In fact, Haixi has been cooperating with the film and television circles on Baodao in the past few years, but the results have been minimal. Even Most of the time, money is spent, but in the end the publicity is all about Treasure Island, which has nothing to do with Haixi. Sometimes, people with the same culture may not have the same heart.”

"Besides, Baodao filmmakers have rarely achieved great results in the film and television industry in the past few years, plus some other reasons, so..." Li Mingjuan sighed.

Wang Yifan nodded, expressing his understanding.

In fact, it is very simple. Although everyone speaks the same dialect, most of the films made by filmmakers in Baodao highlight Baodao instead of Haixi. In fact, there is another main reason. , that is, the decline of Formosa Films.

"Actually..." Yang Ming hesitated to speak.

Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Director Yang can speak directly if he has anything to say."

"Actually, Xinghua had a very successful case earlier. They invested in filming a TV series about Mazu, and the effect was very good. We thought, can we learn from Xinghua City's local specialties? Chinese culture, as well as some folklore as an entry point to shoot a movie?" Director Yang asked.

Wang Yifan shook his head and said: "Director Yang, your idea is very good, but in fact, it is not replicable."

"First of all, the Mazu TV series, the story happened in ancient times, and they promote the story of Mazu, not Xinghua City, but because Xinghua City is the birthplace of Mazu, it can feed back Xinghua City, but it is famous and well-known It's just Mazu!"

"If Haixi City has myths and stories similar to Mazu's local cultural characteristics, of course they can also be used, such as biographies of celebrities and so on."

"We have a lot of historical celebrities in Haixi City." Director Yang said.

But Wang Yifan shook his head and said: "But the crux of the problem is that what you want to promote is the city, and what you want to do is the city's business card. Mazu already has many believers in the coastal areas, so it can be said that she has a certain degree of popularity. .”

"But what about Haixi? Of course those historical celebrities can take their biographies, but this seems to be inconsistent with what you want to highlight Haixi's characteristics?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"It's not impossible to set up a stage for culture and play an opera, but it can be said that this method is not new for a long time. How can it highlight its characteristics?"

In fact, to put it bluntly, Yang Ming's request is just a propositional composition, but the problem is that their request is actually quite high.

So it really doesn't work to talk about historical celebrities, because most of the historical celebrities, in fact, do have their hometowns in this place, but most of their stories have nothing to do with their hometown.

Moreover, it is really too difficult to make this kind of movie well.

"Actually, there are ways. Director Yang, have you read "The Great Earthquake?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

Yang Ming nodded and said, "Of course!"

"Actually, the way of promoting the movie "The Great Earthquake" is exactly what Haixi needs." Wang Yifan said.

"You mean to show the development and culture of the city through the changes of the times?" Yang Ming asked with bright eyes.

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Not bad."

"Director Wang, do you have an idea?" Li Mingjuan asked Wang Yifan with a lot of contact, and she was delighted and expectant when she heard Wang Yifan's words.

"Well, Director Li should know about the movie "Grateful Heart" I shot before, right?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

"Of course I know. What does Director Wang mean?" Li Mingjuan didn't understand.

"It will take more than 20 years for a child to fall to the ground and grow into a benevolent child. If this is the main body, through such a story, it will show the changes of a place or even a city... .”
