The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 137 Girl Beats the Zombie

Dunhuang’s “Female Director Cooperation Plan” did not make a big fuss, but it was soon noticed by people in the circle.

This is normal. At present, Dunhuang is the focus of both inside and outside the circle!

However, after paying attention to Dunhuang's action, most people in the circle's first reaction was not to pay attention or ridicule, but to... they couldn't understand it.

You know, what kind of environment is now-

"Charlotte's Troubles" is so popular that everyone feels that the prosperity of the film market is really coming!

A number of small and medium-sized film companies are becoming more and more excited. Just after the New Year, they announced the launch of new production plans one by one, and a considerable number of them are concentrated on low-cost productions such as comedy films and youth films.

The five majors are relatively stable, and the production plan is still mainly commercial production. However, because of the popularity of "Charlotte's Troubles", more capital investment in the Chinese entertainment industry has made the five majors busy preparing for more projects.

To absorb lay funds.

In this case, Dunhuang has made an incompatible "supporting female director plan"...

Picture name? Picture profit?

After the Chinese New Year, Song Zhicheng, who is preparing to officially start filming a new film, believes that it is the former.

"It's nothing more than trying to expand Dunhuang's influence in the circle by pleased female creators."

Because Song Zhicheng has been more inclined to shoot art films since his debut, he has a relatively familiarity with the female directors who also tend to shoot art films.

He couldn't help but sigh,

"I don't know when Eastern Pictures will make a big-money movie like "Charlotte"!"

In the past, others won at most hundreds of millions of box offices; Song Zhicheng won at most tens of millions to hundreds of millions of box offices, and even won awards, so his stature may be a little higher.

Such a monster-fighting movie with little investment, with women as the protagonists, is a great innovation, but it has also greatly affected the market prospects of this project.

He Wenying's face was obviously a little nervous.

Anyway, it always heals the scar and forgets the pain. It keeps breaking the conventions in the circle and then goes up and down.

Both are second-tier studios, he can understand why Dunhuang likes to "trot".

He Wenying seemed to project all the anger of being treated unfairly by the industry onto the zombies. The heroine in the play, who is more brave and stronger than men, kills all over the world, showing the ultimate charm of women.

He Wenying didn't know if Shen Zhenyi thought so, but she still wanted to give it a try.

Even her agent who supports feminism also expressed tactfully-

He Wenying paused and explained,

However, the Eastern Film Industry Group is Xiaoye Xiao, so it would be better to let Dunhuang take a thunder in front.

"For most industry companies, innovation means danger!" Shen Zhenyi nodded with clarity.

"After all, I'm still rich and willful!"

As Song Zhicheng said: "Women will use emotions to build relationships with the world and understand the world and their own sense of existence; while men often look at the world from a more grander, more externalized and more rational perspective, which is a different way of thinking.

; This leads to the works directed by the former, which are never as popular as the latter, and this gap is born.”

Hou Mai, the boss of Eastern Pictures, nodded: "I guess so."

He even felt that Dunhuang's move was mainly to expand his voice in the art circle and prepare for future awards.

"You should have invested in other companies before? They didn't even like it!"

"There are quite a lot of special effects required, no wonder it costs 50 million yuan."

——He knew that "Charlotte" was about to break one billion, and Song Zhicheng, who prefers to make art films, was not without shock.

This allows it to expand its influence patiently while making money.

After reading the script, Chen Zhenyi looked up at the female director opposite her.

"Yes."

Although there are many film companies in the circle, there are not many who have the ability and financial resources to maintain their main business, except for the five major ones.

Although they have little overall influence, if a company can gain their favor, their voices in the industry will inevitably become more powerful.

This is a script that breaks the boundaries of female directors in the conventional sense—

Because she was talking about the template responses that other companies refused.

Dunhuang is one of them.

After all, no matter how radical the creator's ideas are, the most impossible thing for a commercial film is to go against everyone's imagination.

Boys don't like to see girls who can fight too much, and girls - yes, most girls don't seem to like to see girls fighting. They prefer to see girls in love, girls wear gorgeous clothes, girls discuss career, family and The relationship between children...

Chen Zhenyi said so bluntly, but He Wenying didn't know what to say.

Hou Mai is happy to see Dunhuang put more pressure on Song Zhicheng.

If it is for profit, the female director group has little box office appeal, otherwise it would not be Dunhuang's turn to "find a bargain".

——The benefits that a "Charlotte's Troubles" bring to Dunhuang may be more than what Eastern Pictures earns in a year.

Now, when the box office reaches the billion-dollar level, the latter's box office results are completely insufficient.

Perhaps, only when Song Zhicheng fully grows up can he be successful.

"this……"

——Only by constantly "torn" and trying new areas, can we break through the five major sieges in the top.

There are many people in the circle who watch the fun like Hou Mai.

If the final result is still rejected, she can only give up the script for the time being.

Many data show that the market seems to be less interested in women fighting monsters—

And this kind of "win twice" is exactly what Hou Mai pursues...

If it is an action movie, women keep a beautiful image most of the time and play a pleasing vase, but show their glorious side at critical moments, cleanly solve the bad guys, and do not become a man-the burden of the protagonist, "then, That's enough."

However, director He Wenying and others are not waiting for Wang Wei's script. Many of them actually just need an investment opportunity.

Of course, some people also think that with Wang Wei's script as the foundation, female directors can still make a difference in their main creative positions such as youth films, comedy films and romance films.

"There are still many people who are optimistic about the creativity of this script, but they either want to replace the heroine with the hero, or they refuse to let me direct such a big investment project, so..."

It’s not about the romance or the trivial family, but about the sci-fi and horror films of the heroine playing zombies!

...

Thinking of this, his eyes turned around Song Zhicheng.

The new label is still under preparation, and director He Wenying sent the script he had already written to Chen Zhenyi.

To be honest, Hou Mai was extremely envious of this.

Fortunately, this time she received a positive response.

Not only did Chen Zhenyi not think that this film was not likable, but instead thought it was very good-

"It's so cool to use this movie of girls fighting zombies as the pioneering work of our new company!"
