Although Lin Ge was driving, he didn't forget to add, "Sister Meiyan, just treat this as Sky Entertainment's investment. When Jiang Hong and Zixue rebuild the Jiang family, we'll write a script and go to Canada to make a movie about the revival of the Jiang family. I'm sure the box office will be over a billion."
"Do you really think consumers nowadays care so much about money? A billion? That's easy for you to say," said Zuo Meiyan.
A movie with a billion in box office would need at least two or more big name actors. That wasn't cheap at all!
They also needed a goddess with good looks and those handsome young men that young people liked. Just the cost of the actors was already a lot of investment.
"There are too many bad movies this year. It might affect next year's movie market." Xu Yun: "If you don't have money, you won't be able to find a good screenwriter or buy a good story. No matter how good the actors are, it'll still be a bad movie."
"The problem is that the acting skills of idols these days are really lacking." Zuo Meiyan felt a headache coming on.
Just look at the handsome young men signed by the company in the past two years. Other than being able to pose and act cool, they didn't have any acting skills.
Zuo Meiyan was helpless as to how they could use the same expressions to film a movie.
"Don't sign those who rely on hype." Xu Yun: "There are a lot of talented people who came from university. If you find someone capable in the circle of extras, immediately keep them."
"I've always done that." Zuo Meiyan: "It's just that young people nowadays want good looks on the screen."
Xu Yun: "If you want good looks, you can watch those groups of young men, those who sing and dance. I believe that people who really appreciate movies still want good acting skills. "
"You're an idealist," said Zuo Meiyan. Zuo Meiyan said, "Did you all hear that? That's our Chairman Xu. He said it so casually because he didn't consider the benefits. Making a movie has to be linked to benefits. We won't lose money to a famous director to make a movie that reflects the art of the movie. No one pays for things like 'feelings' these days. "
"Then Sky Entertainment will pay for it," said Xu Yun.
Zuo Meiyan rolled her eyes. "What kind of logic is that? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, I won't let you lose money. "
Xu Yun said disapprovingly, "I think we should really promote 'feelings' now. Art itself is a kind of feeling."
"Keep dreaming." Zuo Meiyan said, "In this era of business, even if it's a lousy film, as long as it's profitable, we'll still film it. Why does Little Time continue to film such a lousy movie? Isn't it because they want to make money? Boss Guo knows too well how to spend his fans. "
Xu Yun shook his head. "I really don't care."
"That's because you don't have the pressure to make money." Zuo Meiyan huffed.
"Big Brother, I think you should listen to Sister Meiyan on this matter. She's more thorough than you," said Bai Xiaoye.
Zuo Meiyan snorted. "Of course."
"Alright, alright, alright. I can't outtalk you guys." Xu Yun: "But I will personally pick a good screenwriter, write a good script, and make a good movie. I will let this movie have a good reputation and box office. It will become a classic. "
"Do you think this kind of movie is realistic in Hua Xia?" Zuo Meiyan said, "You know the rules of the SARFT."
Xu Yun sighed. That's true. Other than Hua Xia's wuxia movies and Stephen Chow's nonsense, what else could be considered a classic?
Look at the foreign dramas, such as "The Shawshank Redemption," "Forrest Gump," "Schindler's List," "The Ownerless City" … those were written in scripts, and those were filmed in movies!
What about Hua Xia's dramas? How many of them were not labeled as lousy?
If Xu Yun were to think about the dramas that Hua Xia could produce, he felt that it would probably be "Alive", which was filmed more than 20 years ago.
Then look at the war movies, such as "Saving Private Ryan," "Hunting Red October," "Battle Royale," "Full Metal Shell" … That reaction to war and human nature, that cruelty and shock, that could directly make people fearful of war, were all things that Hua Xia's war movies could not compare to.
Hua Xia's war movies had lousy scenes such as tearing ghosts apart with their bare hands and stuffing grenades into their pants. It was very difficult to find any good points.
Sci-fi movies? Xu Yun wanted to ask, "Does Hua Xia have any sci-fi movies!?"
Thriller movies? Hua Xia's thriller movies were the same as dramas. How many of them were not labeled as lousy movies?
The tragedy of Hua Xia's movies was in the script and the self-cultivation of the actors. There were only a handful of capable actors who could act.
There was a lot of hype in the entertainment industry. It was a basic rule to attract people's attention and get on the big screen.
If you didn't even have a basic influence on the public, who would look for you to act in a movie?
Even if it was someone who caused a bit of a scandal, such as being a prostitute, a mistress, a mistress, or an adulterer … You had to have some influence!
Those who were directly promoted had to be chosen by a big director. There were only a few big directors in Hua Xia, and only a few people were chosen each year. It was very rare.
The increasing number of people with facial paralysis on the screen would only ruin Hua Xia's movies.
The SARFT should be less restrictive. As long as it was not against humanity, it was fine to talk about social facts. It was also not a big deal to insinuate some problems.
Screenwriters should be more professional, with substance, and life experience.
There were so many people in Hua Xia. The story could not be supported by the random writers on the Internet, right?
Xu Yun was helpless. These things could not be changed overnight.
"Do you guys think I have any talent in acting?" Jiang Zixue thought of the realization she had when she was an extra. It was still vivid in her mind.
"You really do have some talent," Zuo Meiyan said.
Jiang Zixue was stunned. "Really? I really do have the talent to be an actress! "
"It's not the talent to be an actress, it's the talent to be in the entertainment industry," Zuo Meiyan said. "You've only been filming for a few days, and you've already made yourself famous. Other than you, no one else in Hua Xia can do this."
Jiang Zixue stuck out her tongue. "Why do I feel like you're not praising me?"
"Whether it's praise or criticism, you can figure it out yourself." Zuo Meiyan said, "Anyway, if I were the director, I would use you. It's a good thing to be able to create influence and publicity. It's good for profits. "
Jiang Zixue understood what Zuo Meiyan meant. She turned around and looked at Xu Yun. "If it's CEO Xu, he definitely won't want me. It'll hurt his feelings."
Xu Yun made a disdainful expression at the two of them who were echoing each other.
"If you really go to the acting classes to further your studies, you really have the possibility of achieving something." Xu Yun still gave Jiang Zixue an affirmative answer.
Jiang Zixue was overjoyed. "Really? You're not fooling me, right? "
"You'd better give up on her. If she really wants to stay and make a movie with you, I'll have no one to rely on." Jiang Hong laughed.
Jiang Zixue said seriously, "Don't worry, Big Brother. I definitely won't leave you behind. Even if I want to film a movie first, it will definitely be after I help you rebuild the Jiang family … Then I'll film a movie. It's not a bad choice."
Jiang Hong was dumbfounded by Jiang Zixue's seriousness. "Are you kidding me? You won't care about the family in the future?"
"You're enough." Jiang Zixue said, "I really want to be an actress."
"I think you have an ulterior motive. You can't bear to part with someone in Hua Xia." Bai Xiaoye stuck out her tongue. When she secretly observed Jiang Zixue, she could tell that Jiang Zixue admired Xu Yun very much.
However, she hid it well enough and didn't show it at all.
"Bai Xiaoye, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Zixue glared at her. "If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Bai Xiaoye said, "But if you really want to develop your career in Hua Xia, I'll welcome you at any time. Don't be polite and treat this place as your home. "
Jiang Zixue chuckled. "Really?"
"I think you really have other motives." Bai Xiaoye rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Jiang Hong was a little helpless. If the Jiang Family really rebuilt itself one day, would Jiang Zixue really leave? If that was the case, wouldn't he still be alone in such a big family?
He had had enough of living alone for so many years. It wasn't easy for him to finally have a family.
"Don't think too highly of yourself." Jiang Zixue said, "My brother is my only family in the world. How can I leave him and come to Hua Xia to fool around with you guys? My brother still hopes that I can take care of things on my own."
"That's good." Bai Xiaoye said heavily, "Then I'm relieved."
Jiang Zixue glared at her angrily. This girl's tongue is really poisonous.
