Chapter 571: What type of shooting?(1/2)
"Say it."
"What's the trouble?" Lao Zhang's voice was very calm. Zhang Feng thought for a while and said: "It's about the direction of the next movie."
"There are many directions, but I still can't grasp them well, so I want to discuss them with you and listen to your opinions."
"Say." Lao Zhang nodded.
"As you know, the movie Skin Change is very successful. Now many screenwriters and investors are looking for me to negotiate. If they want to invest in a new project, they want to direct me. There are also good scripts in it. I can
Respectable."
"However, I don't want to continue making commercial films. I chose to make commercial films at the beginning because I wanted to gain fame. Only when I am famous can I make the movies I want to make and my own movies."

"So, you want to make a literary film?"
As expected of Lao Zhang, he is very knowledgeable and very sensitive on such professional issues.
Zhang Feng was also convinced and nodded repeatedly: "I'm just struggling with this."
"I've been so worried these past few days."
"From my original intention, I have a certain foundation. Of course I want to make my own feature films and feature films. But, as you know, there are many people who handed me the book.
Good project.”
"As long as you agree to them, the investment will be in place quickly, which is quite easy. This is indeed very tempting."
"So, what do you think, what should I do?"
Isn’t this a classic question of ideals or bread?
This problem has been plaguing mankind since its birth. It appears in all walks of life and on various issues.
Of course, ideals must be pursued, and we must devote our entire lives to pursuing them without slacking off.
But what about bread?
Bread is of course also very important.
Without bread, people will die. How can we pursue our ideals?
Zhang Feng is eagerly waiting for Lao Zhang's answer. This is the first time in several years that she has been eagerly looking forward to her father's answer.
Such a scene has not occurred for a long time.
On the other side, Lao Zhang didn't speak for a long time, his expression was dull, but his lips were pursed tightly, as if he was thinking deeply.
After a long time, I heard him cough lightly.
"If you want to listen to my opinion, then I can only say that with your current level, you should make two more commercial films and then talk about taking the literary route."
"What?"
"You actually asked me to make a commercial film?" Zhang Feng never expected that after waiting for a long time, he would get the result like this.
"Don't you want me to make a literary film?"
"Didn't you say that commercial films are all rubbish and have no nutrition? A successful director would not make such rubbish?"
"You don't take pictures yourself, why do you want me to take pictures?"
"I said before that I wanted to make commercial films, but didn't you still look disgusted and said that I was worthless and had no pursuits?"
"Now I want to stick to myself and make a breakthrough, why don't you support me?"
Hearing his father's answer, Zhang Feng became very angry.
Especially the various cynicisms that Lao Zhang made to her before, she remembered every one of them and never forgot them.
In fact, in her heart, she has never given up her pursuit of film art, and she also knows which path to take is the most correct.
The choice I made before was just to make progress by retreating and to accumulate experience and fame for myself.
Now that the goal has been achieved, of course it is time to realize the dream immediately.
Who knew that her father, who had always been opposed to her, would actually disagree. This was beyond Zhang Feng's imagination.
However, Zhang Feng's jumping did not arouse Lao Zhang's resentment.
He also knew that Zhang Feng would definitely jump up when he said this.
So he eloquently said: "Although the skin change was successful, your foundation in the film industry is still shallow after all, and the audience is still not familiar with you. You don't want to watch this movie and the audience supports you, just like,
The next one will be equally successful, it won’t be that easy.”
"It is good to make literary films, and it is really an expression of personal artistic pursuit. However, the times are indeed different now. I admit this, and you know, isn't the film I am planning to shoot recently also a commercial film?"
"In this day and age, if you want to do well, awards are definitely not enough. After all, making movies is a money-burning activity. Without money, what ideals do we have to pursue, and what movies can we make?"
"Being a human being must first be based on reality, and then you can pursue your ideals. This is basic. You don't understand this principle, right?"
Zhang Feng nodded fiercely: "Of course I understand this, but I think it's good to give it a try now."
"If I continue to make commercial films now, if I make one or two films, my image will be fixed. Even if I want to make artistic films, no one will believe that I can make them successfully."
"I don't want this." Zhang Feng pursed his lips, not to mention how wronged he was.
She has been like this since she was a child. As long as she is not satisfied at all, she will often pout her mouth and express her dissatisfaction, as if she could hang a kettle.
"I'm still young and I don't want to be easily stereotyped."
"What you said makes sense. However, it is precisely because you are still young that you should continue to make commercial films. It is only right to wait until you have more experience and become more mature to explore literary films in the future.
order."
"So what do you mean?"
"I do not quite understand."
Once he entered the professional field, Lao Zhang's absolute dominance became apparent. His analysis was penetrating and extremely high-level.
The key is to be close to Zhang Feng's character and definitely consider her sincerely.
"This is very simple. Just because you are young, there are still many opportunities and a lot of time, so you might as well make some gains in one field before trying a new one."
"Think about it, although you have gained some status in the industry now, especially after your box office success, many investors are willing to continue investing in you, but what they are interested in is your performance in commercial films."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You suddenly said that you want to change your career to make literary films. Believe me, not many people will recognize your ability. Maybe, with the investment, you will be able to do it all at once."
They all ran away."
"One more thing, you are still young and can still make many movies. If you want to realize your dreams and complete your personal expression, you don't have to rush for one or two years. Once you are stable in the field of commercial films, I think a three-year period is better."
"Make at least two more commercial films to let the market and investors recognize you. By then, you will have a certain amount of capital and the right to speak. You will no longer use my name to fool people, so you want to follow your own
It will be easier to think of making a movie."
"Besides, there is another very practical problem. I think, with your current experience, it is still too shallow to make a literary film."
"Literary and artistic films generally need to have a relatively profound connotation, have a kind of enlightenment of life, and give people some kind of spiritual shock. It's not that I look down on you, I just judge based on your daily behavior. You are still a long way from being deep in your heart.
A long distance."
"You might as well continue shooting commercial films to practice your skills first, and then wait until your mind is a little settled before shooting literary films. The effect will be better."
"So it's still so complicated?"
Zhang Feng, lying on the bookcase, seemed to have finally realized this problem. She had always regarded shooting literary films and making a successful literary film as an ideal.
However, after listening to Lao Zhang's analysis, she realized that it might not be possible to make a literary film without real ability.
"How about taking it slow?"
Lao Zhang shrugged: "You can decide this yourself, I'm just providing professional advice."
Although Lao Zhang said this, it was obvious that his professional advice was still of great reference value, so Zhang Feng could only put the script he had carefully prepared back into the drawer.
And gave up the idea of making an artistic film in a short period of time.
And picked up the scripts recommended to her.
There is no other way. If you want to hand in another assignment this year, you can only start with these ready-made scripts.
According to Zhang Feng's own plan, she originally wanted to make a literary film, and she also had a written script in hand.
However, if the plan suddenly needs to change, she is not the magic pen Ma Liang, and she really can't make it happen, so what should she do?
You can only work with professional screenwriters.
So what type of photo should I take?
Magic movies are obviously not good. One has been successful before. To be honest, it is not easy for a movie of this type to replicate this success in a short period of time.
Extremely difficult.
Moreover, the investment in fantasy films is too large. The investment in the last reskin was already high for domestic entertainment. As a sequel to such a masterpiece directed by Zhang Feng, if Zhang Feng continues to make fantasy films, then higher investment will not be possible.
It is great to attract investment, but whether it can recover the capital is also a big problem.
Tsk tsk...
The possibility of Waterloo is too high.
To be continued...
