Chapter 244 This Is My Uncle (Asking for Monthly Tickets)
MV is a win-win situation for Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi.
If "Dragon" is 100% popular, then Wang Yuyan can account for at least 20%. Now that she appears in Hao Yun's album, Hao Yun's album MV has suddenly become a popular MV of the year.
Zhang Yadong reported many award selection activities to Hao Yun.
Oriental Chart, Pepsi Music Chart, MTV Asian Music Awards, Global Chinese Chart...
Most were nominated.
But whether it will win or not is hard to say.
After all, there were so many classic songs last year, it’s not an exaggeration to say it was a fight between gods.
For example, e's "Super Star", Jay Chou's "East Wind Breaks", Chen Yixun's "Ten Years", Shui Mu Nianhua's "In a Foreign Country", Sun Yanzi's "Meeting", Xin Orchestra's "Li Ge", Ou Deyang's "Lonely Northern Hemisphere", Yu Quan and Huang Zheng "Run" Wait, wait...
Very many, very good.
Even newcomers who have just debuted have masterpieces like "Secret Fragrance" by Sandao Liang. Hao Yun's "Ningxia" is indeed very popular, but when it comes to classics, it is at most one of many classics.
It was impossible to dominate the music scene in 2003.
Hao Yun can only place his hope on the 2004 album "Hao Yun Comes Again". He plans to get five songs and release it around the middle of the year.
The total global sales of "Hao Yun" should not be less than 300,000 copies, which is close to that of first-tier singers.
Since the music video costs almost nothing and he is a songwriter himself, Hao Yun can get more than half of the money.
One hundred thousand is definitely no problem.
Moreover, the income is constant, not just from selling records. Hao Yun doesn't want to let go of this kind of long-term business.
Anyway, if you participate in music competitions, you will be rewarded with songs. If you don’t release records, you will have babies.
I just don’t know what songs can be awarded for the eighth-level guitar certificate and the fifth-level guzheng certificate. It would be great if there was something like "Ningxia".
Two albums were enough to establish his status as a singer.
In the future, any commercial performances of singers may be found on his head.
It's so cool to be able to get one hundred and eighty thousand for singing two songs. It's much more profitable than when he went to participate in the Bai Shi Grave Disco.
As for An Xiaoxi, she didn't gain anything from filming this MV.
Wang Yuyan's image is too high-spirited, and she even feels a little unsure.
The image of the little girl in the MV shows another side of her.
"I still don't quite understand, why is it so complicated?" Hao Yun rejected the first version of Lao Wu's soundtrack, and he decided to follow Zhang Yifan to learn more about the movie.
He knew the story of the movie, but the narrative style of the movie confused him.
This is not a finished film after all, but something to be edited.
"Ours is a non-linear narrative. In this way, a bizarre case is presented from different perspectives of different people, and finally the complete truth is pieced together. There is a profound philosophy behind the truth. There is no need to deliberately pursue the plot. Completeness, the ending has also changed from a single certainty to an ambiguous one, which strengthens the contingency and weakens the inevitability, which can further stimulate the audience's thinking. "
Hao Yun patiently explained to Lao Wu that Lao Wu's work efficiency was very high and his level was good, but the atmosphere could not meet Hao Yun's requirements.
Hao Yun is relatively undisciplined on the set, and that's because he has done a good job of storyboarding.
The actors basically just act as they should.
Moreover, the style of the movie "Heart Labyrinth" is natural. Too many requirements will make the performance override the story.
However, in the later stages, Hao Yun was not so easy to talk to.
Whether it is Zhang Yifan or Lao Wu, they must perfectly implement his ideas and achieve the results he wants.
"I understand, there are flashbacks, interludes, and supplementary narrations. I learned them in school before, but your non-linear narrative is too complicated. Aren't you afraid that the audience won't understand it? Who else will you sell it to if they don't understand it?"
Lao Wu works in rock music, and he thinks it is no different from making movies.
Rock people often overdo themselves and come up with some inexplicable things, but they feel that the audience is not appreciative.
"Let's put it this way, from the perspective of suspense and literary films, we can't make it too easy for the audience to understand the movie. For example, we watched "Rashomon" a few days ago, as well as "Two Smoking Barrels" and "Vulgar" "etc."
In order to facilitate the understanding of editors and composers, Hao Yun showed many films with non-linear narratives.
This kind of film narrative technique can be traced back to Griffith's film "Party Against Diversity".
He was the first pioneer of non-linear narrative.
The four stories are not told one after another, but are divided into small fragments, and then rearranged and then appear alternately, with only a shot of a mother shaking the cradle as a transition.
There are a lot of people playing this in Xiangjiang, such as "Infernal Affairs 3", "The Birth of a Prefix" and so on.
There are not many here in the mainland.
In other words, few people use this narrative style as a tool to increase the suspense of the movie.
When Jiang Wen told the story of "Sunny Days", he used some non-linear narrative techniques to intersperse scenes from different time periods to show the fate and inner emotional changes of multiple characters, making the film more vivid interesting.
However, there are so many brilliant things about his film that this bit of dazzling skills seems insignificant.
Hao Yun is one of the few mainland directors who has played with non-linear narrative so well.
Well, he is still a new director.
Lao Wu was so scared that he had to follow Hao Yun's requirements and make a more emotional soundtrack.
Zhang Yifan has long been numb.
Judging from the amount of film consumables, this movie is definitely not shot by Jiang Wen, but judging from the quality of the content, one has to wonder if Jiang Wen is teaching him step by step on the set.
After all, the style is too similar, and the play is so high-end.
If Hao Yun learns it, it will be quite interesting - just imagine, if Jiang Wen stops wasting film...
Hao Yun will definitely become a hot commodity.
Zhang Yifan's next job is "A Letter from a Strange Woman". He originally planned to read the original work first, but now he is immersed in Hao Yun's "Heart Labyrinth" and can't stop for a moment.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go for a big meal later." Hao Yun still has a lot of money left after filming this movie.
The main reason is that the budget is relatively sufficient. A movie that can be made with two or three million yuan was pulled in by him for an investment of four million yuan.
Well, the more important point is that Jiang Wen did not intervene throughout the whole process.
If the film goes to the international film festival route, it can save a lot of publicity and promotion.
Even if it does not win an award but only participates in the exhibition, it will be widely reported by the media - a 22-year-old young man, as a director for the first time, has made a work that can be exhibited. Isn't it eye-catching enough?
Well, if this is not enough.
How about adding the article "My Producer Jiang Wen"?
Oh! If Jiang Wen is really in this movie, it will be such a surprise!
There is also a sentence in that article that is very "artistic" - I silently said in my heart: "This is my uncle, my father's younger brother, my uncle."
It will definitely be easy to sell overseas copyrights at that time.
With this confidence, Hao Yun, Zhang Yifan, and Lao Wu have to order six dishes when they eat, and sometimes they have to ask the boss to warm up a pot of wine.
The post-production work of the film is mainly that it is more difficult to convey your own ideas in the front.
When everyone forms a certain tacit understanding, not only will he not need to interfere too much in the back, but it will also be faster and faster.
It will definitely be submitted for review in February.
I won't mention the Berlin Film Festival in February. There is some hope for Cannes in May, but this depends on the efficiency of the review work - I can only say don't hold too much hope.
But there will be no problem with the Venice Film Festival in September.
Moreover, Hao Yun has a good control over the content of the film. This film is mainly about human nature, and there is almost no risk of being rejected for revision.
Hao Yun stayed in the capital until late January, and only started preparing to return home on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
As for Zhang Yifan and Lao Wu, they are likely to work overtime in the capital for the New Year.
