Chapter 412 I'm Waiting for You at Home (5)
As for Qin Baizhou? Did he take it seriously? No.
Xia Siyu was originally his girlfriend, his wife, and now the two of them have broken through the most important step. Qin Baizhou? He didn't even hold Xia Siyu's hand, he didn't care about it!
But he didn't value Qin Baizhou, but Qin Baizhou valued him very much. A group of actors were discussing the plot, but Qin Baizhou suddenly said: "The script is so detailed, what if there is a temporary change? This is the first time Director Sun has directed it. I want to know how much control Director Yu will have in it." Power? Director Sun, I know that he studied photography, and he can make beautiful shots, but this is a movie after all, not a landscape album. Has Director Sun thought about how to grasp the plot and characters? After all, for a movie, the plot is Clues, characters are souls. Other artistry is incidental. Also, in Director Sun’s script, I saw a lot of critical things. Not to mention that it is inconvenient to pass the review. Movies are art, not It’s for criticism, not to expose any reality. Maybe that’s incidental, but more importantly, it’s a way of expression. I don’t know if Director Sun will put too much emphasis on criticism and ideology, and instead lose the original intention of storytelling?”
Qin Baizhou's words actually hit part of the current situation.
Many filmmakers want to shoot the bizarre scenes in their minds for the first time, regardless of the final film or whether the audience understands it or not.
Of course, he admits that there are indeed some really talented new directors, and their films are also very imaginative. But most of them use stream-of-consciousness montage and various editing methods to pursue one shot to show off their skills. In the end, they can't even tell a complete story.
The audience watched the clouds and mountains, and the box office was not good at the low score. The filmmakers would blame the audience, disgusted with "this audience is not good". You don’t even look at what you’re photographing. If you can’t understand it yourself, you blame others for not knowing how to appreciate it?
Xia Siyu took such a low salary and spent six months working on a movie, of course he was worried. What if the final prize does not have a box office, and even the word of mouth is ruined, can the producer afford it?
The provocation of Bo Yan just now really made Qin Baizhou a little uncomfortable. And Sun Wujiu was recommended by Bo Yan, and his movie was planned and filmed with Bo Yan's help, and he even tricked Xia Siyu into going there. More often than not, the director played haphazardly and ruined a play. Since you are aiming at word-of-mouth and winning awards, then do it exactly according to that configuration. He would hardly be satisfied.
Xia Siyu is easy to talk, but he is not, so naturally he has to help Xia Siyu check.
Directors do have a lot of power, but it also depends on the situation. For example, Wang Ju, such as Yu Fenfei, not only the actors have to listen to him, but even the investors have to give him some face, and they can't just stuff people into the crew.
However, a new director like Sun Wujiu is facing a big name like Bo Yan and Xia Siyu, so it is conceivable that he has the right to speak. Maybe it's possible that everyone in the crew listens to nonsense.
Qin Baizhou is known as the "smiling tiger". When fighting for the interests of artists, he is quite aggressive. But when it has nothing to do with interests, he is always generous.
But this time, he lost control slightly because of thin words.
Bo Yan's sentence "I'll wait for you at home tonight" is like an empty sentence for him!
