Huayu 05, our science fiction movie universe

Chapter 44 Seniors’ Care

In the screening room, the audience was still expressing their opinions on what they had just seen, and the old and the young, who had different thoughts, were also having a great time chatting with each other.

Tian Zhuang made a lot of suggestions based on what he had just seen, and Wang Hao also talked about his ideas for making science fiction movies in the future.

Tian Zhuang was very interested in Wang Hao's ideal and supported it very much.

Nowadays, he has fewer opportunities to be a director and more opportunities to be a teacher. Therefore, he pays more attention to the development of the national film industry and the cultivation of film and television talents.

Science fiction films are still a rare genre in China at this time. Not only are there few of them on the market, but even related courses offered in schools are also very scarce.

But this type of film is extremely important to a country's film industry.

If a region's film and television industry wants to achieve economies of scale, it cannot do so by relying solely on low-cost, small-scale productions.

Today's Chinese directors all have the same understanding on this point.

Therefore, there was the so-called blockbuster plan. Not only Master Zhang, but also many big directors, invested in it.

The work "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun" which is currently being filmed by the famous poetry master also belongs to this category.

But compared to those confident directors, Tian Zhuang, who stayed out of the matter, saw things more clearly.

Those colleagues of his age can’t do that!
It's not that he looks down on his colleagues, but that he thinks too highly of them.

So he knows what is a state of being unable to reverse, what is a barrier of knowledge and views, and what is the arrogance of an artist!
In comparison, in Tian Zhuang's opinion, young people like Wang Hao offer some new possibilities.

At least in his opinion, "Buried" can be said to be a highly completed commercial film.

The "face project" is done very well. The shots and plot are simple and straightforward, very friendly to the audience, and there is nothing obscure and difficult to understand. At the same time, elements of Hollywood blockbusters such as suspense, surprises, and happy endings can also be seen in this film.

Don't underestimate this point. Many directors cannot do the so-called "face project". They cannot let go of their artistic status and like to stand on a high position and lecture their audience.

So from this point of view alone, as a director, Wang Hao maintains a humble attitude and is willing to please the audience.

"Not bad, the structure is tight, and the composition is well thought out. Although it's a bit straightforward, it's already very good for your age. It seems that you haven't wasted your four years in college. How about it, are you interested in studying for my master's degree?"

Tian Zhuang patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and laughed loudly, not caring that people around him would hear it.

If he was worried before that being too close to Wang Hao would make people accuse him of operating behind the scenes, then the quality of "Buried Alive" would be enough to shut others up.

"Teacher, I'm so happy that you are willing to accept me!" Wang Hao said with surprise.

This is not a disguise. Compared with the acting department, the academic degree of the directing department is quite valuable.

Especially in a social environment like China, a master's degree student and an undergraduate student will give people different impressions when they speak out, and will have a greater advantage when cooperating with people within the system and the academic community.

Moreover, master's students in the directing department focus more on practical operations. Even if he studies for a doctorate or a master's degree, it will not affect Wang Hao's future filmmaking at all.

In this way, the man fell in love with the woman and the woman was interested in them, and soon the relationship between master and disciple was roughly determined.

After Wang Hao finished communicating with Teacher Tian, ​​Lu Guotao also came over with Du Yueming, the person in charge of the film channel.

"Director Lu, Secretary Du."

Wang Hao greeted him first, and Lu Guotao just nodded reservedly. On the contrary, Du Yueming smiled and praised him:
"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Wang, your film is really good. The plot in the beginning is suspenseful enough, and the twist in the end is also very touching. And the twist at the end is simply a stroke of genius!

In just a few seconds of footage, the sense of science fiction came out immediately. "

"Thank you for the compliment, leader." Wang Hao was being polite but his face was full of smiles.

He wanted to say a few more humble words, but the excited Du Yueming held his hand and continued:
“No prize, no prize!

We have invested in many films in our film channel before, some of which were directed by big directors, but few can produce the quality of a movie like you do with just one million.

To be honest, I felt a little regretful after watching it. Such a good movie should be shown in theaters for the audience to enjoy. It’s a pity to make it into a TV movie!”

“You can’t say that,” Wang Hao smiled.

“Without the leaders giving me the opportunity, I wouldn’t even be able to make this TV movie.

The leaders are not unaware of the current market situation. If I, a senior student who has not yet graduated, go to those film and television companies and say that I want to make a science fiction film, I am afraid they will not even let me in. "

When Du Yueming heard this, he also joked:

"Why do you sound so self-boasting when you say this?

If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have noticed that the director of this film is actually a college student who hasn't even graduated from his senior year.

Director Tian, ​​you have such a strong teaching ability at Beijing Film Academy to be able to reach this level!"

Tian Zhuang didn't expect Du Yueming to suddenly mention him. They were old acquaintances. Upon hearing this, he immediately helped his student and said:
"Secretary Du, thank you for your compliment. Xiao Wang is still a newcomer and very immature in all aspects. From now on, I will need seniors like you to take care of me."

"That's easy." Du Yueming agreed readily.

“Besides, newcomers are good, because only newcomers have the courage to innovate.

Today's domestic films are trying to become blockbusters and market-oriented, and I agree with this.

Xiao Wang's film is very market-oriented. "

"Yes, yes, our department has always encouraged students to be more innovative.

I think that as a new era filmmaker, we must have the courage to be the first in the world. As long as the laws and regulations of the country do not explicitly prohibit it, we can all have the courage to try it! "

Tian Zhuang's words silenced everyone for a moment. You know, this great director is also a brave and ruthless man.

Not to mention that it is not expressly prohibited by law, even if it is prohibited, he might dare to try it.

In 92, he was banned from filming movies for ten years because of a movie he made, and it has only been a few years since the ban was lifted.

So after listening to his words, everyone could only smile awkwardly.

Fortunately, this was just a small episode during the movie viewing.

As the movie was over, everyone was in high spirits and naturally praised the quality of the movie, and the ratings were certainly not low.
