The Director of Music Department

Realistic-themed movies, in fact, many directors in China have been making them.

It's just a pity that most realistic-themed movies are either too heavy to shoot, or they have too many private goods, and when they are finally shot, the response is not very good.

Logically speaking, movies with realistic themes are actually not uncommon, but many are suitable for adaptation.

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

Realistic themes and literary films are actually two different things.

Literary films, most of the time, are based on reality with a lot of artistic processing, and the most important thing is the director's personal thoughts.

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

In fact, there is no shortage of realism-themed masterpieces on the market in the previous life, such as "Suyuan", "The Melting Pot", "The Gift of Room No. 7", "The Defender" and "Terror Live" by Bangzi in the previous life are also talked about by Huaguo movie fans. . Take "The Melting Pot" as an example. It is based on a real incident in a school for the deaf and mute in Gwangju, Bangzi Country. It is by no means just a film. Its release eventually affected the legislation of Bangzi Country. practical significance. Anyone who has watched this film should remember those super realistic lines: "We fight 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 movies that are well-received and popular, or even a handful of them.

In the Hua Kingdom of the previous life, when Wang Yifan crossed over, in fact, movies with realistic themes began to rush to land, such as "Wolf Warrior 2", such as "Fire Heroes", such as "Captain of China", etc., adapted according to reality In the end, the story not only succeeded in the box office, but also in terms of word of mouth is also very good.

This shows that realistic themes are not niche movies. On the contrary, if realistic themes are well shot, it will become a trend.

Of course, many domestic filmmakers would probably scoff at saying such things now, because currently, after the success of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", many directors have actually begun to focus on realistic themes for movies with realistic themes Movies, but in the end, did not achieve the desired results.

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

 …

"I understand what you mean, just right, you should pay little attention to domestic news recently, right?" Chen Hanming asked with a smile.

Wang Yifan was a little puzzled: "What? What happened again?"

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 a cooperation plan for the third phase of the Rising Star Guide Program with the island country. The target market of the original domestic Rising Star Guide program was aimed at the island country and the Asian region, and "Midnight Ring" achieved amazing results. However, there are quite a few netizens in China complaining about the fact that the third phase of the Rising Star Guide Program is open to foreign markets, so is it true that there will be no Rising Star Guide Program in China?" Chen Hanming said with a smile.

"Uh, but the third phase of the Rising Star Director Program mainly trains new domestic directors, and the candidates from the island country and the Bangzi country only account for less than half of them." Wang Yifan was a little puzzled.

"However, the problem is that movies like "Midnight Ring" cannot be shown in China at all, and the third phase of the Rising Star Director Project, such as "Ghost Call" did achieve good results abroad, but the problem is still the same. It cannot be screened in China, so in the future, to put it bluntly, it will be difficult for these people to make some films that can be screened in China for a long time." Chen Hanming spread his hands and said.

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

"What I mean is, let's start the fourth phase of the domestic Rising Star Director Program. This time, don't you want to make a realistic movie? Then just use this as the theme of the fourth issue of the Rising Star Director Program, killing two birds with one stone!" Chen Hanming said with a smile.

Wang Yifan's eyes lit up when he heard the words. He had forgotten that the third phase of the Rising Star Director Project seemed to be held as scheduled, and it was also a continuation of the first two phases of the Rising Star Director Project. But the problem is just like what Chen Hanming said, the horror film genre After all, it is very difficult to release a movie in China, so the third phase of the Rising Star Director Project has been "out of stock" in China.

"Besides, reality-themed movies have much more 'money' than horror movies. Isn't "I'm Not the God of Medicine" a good example? So, I think, this time, the fourth phase of the Rising Star Director Project, simply Make it bigger, and don't limit yourself to new directors, in this way, not only can you achieve your goal, but it can also increase the influence of the Rising Star Director Program." Chen Hanming said.

"Besides, realistic-themed movies, to be honest, it is still difficult for new directors to shoot such movies. After all, realistic-themed movies are no different than other movies. Such movies require a lot of money in preparation and so on. A lot of energy, manpower and material resources. Ordinary newcomer directors, even if they are willing to do these investigations, they are still lacking in experience and other aspects." Chen Hanming continued to add.

"Go on." Wang Yifan signaled 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 realistic movies on a small scale, then it's fine. You can just use the previous Rising Star Director Program, but if you want to expand the impact, then the investment cannot be small. , and do you think the new director can handle it?"

"Secondly, reality-themed movies require a lot of actors' acting skills. Ordinary actors can't do it at all. This is different from the previous movies of the Rising Star Director Project. At the same time, actors with acting skills and famous actors have high salaries themselves, 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 the salary seems to be not high, but it depends on who you compare with.

Moreover, realistic-themed movies must basically be narrative-oriented and plot-oriented movies. The requirements for actors in this type of movie are not generally high. Some movies, no matter how good the script is, the actors cannot match, or the director If the skill is not enough, it is also difficult to shoot the desired effect.

Then the problem arises, the Rising Star Director Program has always been devoted to cultivating new directors and fresh blood, but if it is placed on realistic subjects, it is somewhat inappropriate.

Because of a new director, it is really difficult to shoot realistic themes well.

There are too many constraints.

Don't look at "I'm Not the God of Medicine" as if Wang Yifan filmed it very quickly, but that's because Wang Yifan had watched this movie beforehand and knew a lot about it.

Even so, when Wang Yifan was filming this movie, he checked a lot of information and interviewed a lot of people.
