The Director of Music Department

For example, "Red Crowned Crane" in the music movie prepared by Wang Yifan.

Wang Yifan himself likes this song very much, and he was also very sentimental because of the story behind this song.

The song tells about a girl who lost her life protecting a red-crowned crane. She is a female college student whose father is a crane protection engineer. Influenced by her father, this girl has loved red-crowned cranes since she was a child, and has a deep relationship with red-crowned cranes. After graduating from university, the girl stayed in Yancheng Nature Reserve to work. As a gift, she took two red-crowned cranes to Yancheng. One night, the red-crowned cranes did not return to their nests on time. The girl went out to search for two days. During the search, the girl slipped into the swamp and did not get up.

Such a story obviously does not have strong commercial elements, but Wang Yifan still took it out.

In fact, at his current level, he is not short of money, so he can do whatever he wants, and although a movie like "The Story of the Red-crowned Crane" is made, it may not be as big a box office hit as the movies in the first issue , but basically will not lose money.

After all, it is a low-budget movie, plus Wang Yifan's lyrics and music, and Huaxin's publicity and distribution capabilities, so this kind of movie may not have any good results at the box office, but it will definitely not be bad in terms of word of mouth.

In fact, directors like Wang Yifan are often asked, what do you think of literary films? Is there any plan to shoot a literary film and so on.

Since the beginning of its birth, movies have had the dual attributes of commodity and culture. However, the current domestic films often use the box office as the main criterion for testing the success of a film.

This is also human nature. However, it is undeniable that the development of Huaguo film has indeed shown abnormalities. In the early years, when the Huaguo film market was not so big, there was almost no market for commercial films, so The films made by the directors of that generation were more cultural and artistic, and basically insulated from business.

This is actually not their fault, because at that time, for Chinese filmmakers, there was no place for film to talk about business, because the market simply couldn't support commercial films.

But with the explosion of the film market, the result? Commercial films have risen, but literary films have declined.

Some critics pointed out that the rapid construction of movie theaters is not only a tool for commercial capital to pursue profits, but also a spiritual home for us to observe reality and understand our hearts.

Is there any truth in what you say? Of course there are, but in the same way, it is a paradox to consider both business and art. There are indeed such movies, but they are rare.

Not to mention the immature Huaguo film market, even the Hollywood film market lacks such films.

However, there are indeed some real filmmakers in Huaguo, who were born for and proud of films.

Wang Yifan didn't dare to say that he was a real filmmaker. At best, he was a commercial film director. If he was asked to make literary films, he said that he couldn't make them at all.

However, there are some people who put their fortunes down to make movies, and they are not for the so-called box office at all, but because of their deep love for movies.

Therefore, in Wang Yifan's plan, the second phase of New Star Entertainment's Rising Star Director Project is not completely prepared for new directors, but also for those real filmmakers.

Although Wang Yifan's story will set some framework for them, it will also give them enough room to play.

Yang Hong used to have the reputation of the number one beauty in the Chinese entertainment industry, and she starred in many epic TV dramas in her early years.

Later, he moved to the film industry and gained a lot of honors.

It's just that Yang Hong has a very special hobby, that is, being a director and making movies.

It's just that, as an actor, Yang Hong is well-known, but as a director, Yang Hong has always been able to enjoy his movies alone.

Yang Hong loves to make romance movies, and she is an extremely romantic person in her bones, but she also likes tragic movies. The first movie "Love has no afterlife" is romantic enough, but the plot is a mess.

In fact, with Yang Hong's status, even if she knew she would screw up making a movie, many people were still happy to give generously in her early years.

As a result, the first movie "Love has no afterlife" caused investors to lose money in a mess.

If it's another thick-skinned director who messes up the movie, there's nothing you can do about it. Investment is risky.

But Yang Hong was not that kind of person. Since then, she would rather raise money by making movies and movies by herself than accepting other people's investment.

She once spent three years preparing for a movie, and finally spent more than a year shooting the second movie "Wushan Love", and then continued to hit the street.

With an investment of 30 million, the box office is less than 3 million.

She even sold all of her real estate to make a movie.

In fact, if you want to say that Yang Hong is incompetent, she really is not. Her directing ability is not bad, and she has her own style, romantic. Her movies only have this characteristic.

In fact, the biggest problem with "Wushan Absolute Love" still lies in the plot. Many film critics lamented that if this movie had a reliable screenwriter to check it, it would not be so frustrating.

Although it is easier to say that tragedies become classics, the premise is that if there are enough exciting stories.

Yang Hong's third film, this time, she learned the lessons of the previous two films, did not make any big productions, only made a small budget, and also invited the well-known screenwriter Liao Hanqiu to check it out.

So there was a third movie, "The Brothel".

It's a pity that for this movie, Yang Hong probably trusted the so-called well-known screenwriter too much because he felt that his screenwriting ability was too poor.

In the end, she was tricked by Liao Hanqiu, who is Liao Hanqiu?

This gentleman is indeed a well-known screenwriter, but when Yang Hong invited Liao Hanqiu, it was at the time when Liao Hanqiu was at his happiest.

Once a person becomes prosperous, it is easy to lose control of his heart, and his ambitions begin to swell. As the name suggests, "The Brothel" is a story about the plight of a woman in a brothel.

Originally, this kind of story was simple, even if it was filmed according to the bloody plot of the eight o'clock file, with Yang Hong's romantic shooting method, it would definitely not be too bad.

Yang Hong's films have always been very pure and pure love, but when it comes to Liao Hanqiu, she feels that this is one of the biggest problems in the failure of Yang Hong's previous two films.

As a result, the script was greatly revised. In the end, the romance became romantic, but the heroine turned into a real brothel girl who could do her best. Do you expect the audience to accept such a woman?

The result is self-evident, "The Brothel" was directly banned in China because of its large-scale scenes.

Originally, this movie, according to Liao Hanqiu's intention, could go abroad to participate in film exhibitions. According to Liao Hanqiu's words, this kind of scale is normal in foreign countries, but Yang Hong directly refused.

Because this is completely inconsistent with her original intention.
