Hao Xiaolei was really a little nervous, after all, before she came, she had learned about the background of this Boss Shen.

Not to mention anything else, just the net worth of tens of billions made her dumbfounded.

People are really rich!

And it's the kind of rich people who can look at themselves with complete disdain.

So speaking from the heart, Hao Xiaolei is a bit empty.

But she can't help it, she has starred in too many literary films before, and even broke up with her boyfriend in order to star in Lou Ye's "Summer Palace".

As a result, the movie was made, but it was banned, and his hard work was in vain.

Now that she is thirty years old, she can't continue to be like before, so she wondered if she could change her acting path.

Thinking of this, Hao Xiaolei took a deep breath, looked at Shen Fei and said, "Mr. Shen, I don't know if you want to sign me?" "

"Huh?"

Shen Fei was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Hao Xiaolei to be so honest and directly tell her thoughts to herself.

But when you think about it, it's very much in line with her character.

In his previous life, Shen Fei had the deepest impression of Hao Xiaolei that her personality was very direct, otherwise she would not have made it clear during the interview that she was dissatisfied with the shortcomings of some young actors' performances.

If you say it well, you can call it outspoken, and if you put it bluntly, it is called being open-mouthed.

But at that time, her status in the circle was there, and she was an old actor in the acting school, so there was no problem in saying a few words.

"I don't want to make literary films anymore."

It seems that because of the first sentence, Hao Xiaolei was a little bolder, and said calmly to Shen Fei: "I want to make some commercial films, after all, at such an old age, I always have to make money." "

After speaking, she looked at Shen Fei a little embarrassed and said, "I'm single now, so I have to buy a house in Yanjing." "

"Eh, isn't making movies profitable?"

Shen Fei blinked his eyes and asked curiously.

In fact, he asked this on purpose.

After all, in his previous life, Shen Fei knew too well the situation of these literary film actors.

"What kind of money to make?"

Hao Xiaolei said with a wry smile: "Literary films are originally niche, you are like Director Lou Ye, the budget of a drama is only two or three million, am I embarrassed 01 to ask for a high salary?" If you can give 100,200,000, it's already very good. A few months of filming, two such dramas a year, and the days are over. "

Shen Fei immediately laughed when he heard this.

Let's be honest.

He knew very well that Hao Xiaolei was telling the truth.

Domestic literary films are so miserable.

In fact, in Shen Fei's view, when we are talking about whether a movie is a commercial film or a literary film,

We must pay attention to a question, that is, where is the boundary between commerce and literature and art?

The field of film is full of flowers, and various types of movies have been endless.

In fact, it is difficult to truly define the so-called literary and commercial films.

Some people say that the theme is more literary and artistic, but in fact, there are many counter-examples that can be cited.

Because, any movie has the values and themes he wants to convey.

This kind of transmission of values and themes is something that every film will undertake, so it is a partial generalization to define literary films and commercial films by whether the theme is literary or not.

There is also a saying that literary films are movies that mainly tell the plot, represented by "Schindler's List" and "Gone with the Wind".

But in Shen Fei's eyes, this statement is unreasonable, because this kind of movie is obviously a commercial blockbuster.

"Schindler's List" and "Gone with the Wind" are both standard big investments and big productions, and "Schindler's List" used two big-name actors at the time, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, who were very popular at the time.

And "Gone with the Wind" included heavyweights such as Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and Olivia de Havilland, who were popular at the time, and also invested a lot of money to lay out the big scenes.

Literary films refer to works created by the integration and balance of comprehensive human factors such as skill, willingness and imagination, which has a high aesthetic pursuit, which widens the distance between the works and ordinary people.

It does not attract the audience's attention with exaggerated cinematic stunts and bizarre or fascinating storylines, but focuses on films that reflect deeply on life, human nature, and philosophy in order to express human emotions.

Through the artistic shooting techniques of the director and the artistic performance of the actors, it makes the audience deeply feel the beautiful emotions of human beings and arouses emotional resonance, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of film shooting.

In later generations, Shen Fei watched a movie, and the small-budget literary film "The Nameless" broke out of the encirclement in front of a lot of blockbusters, and achieved a box office counterattack of 800 million yuan with excellent word-of-mouth, which surprised people who were not optimistic about literary films, and also injected confidence into the creators of countless small-budget films.

An equally successful example is "Wu Wen Xidong", which achieved a high box office of 750 million yuan.

Of course, "Wu Wen Xidong" is actually not a literary film, after all, there are many big names in it, and the box office appeal is actually very strong.

To put it bluntly, the reason why literary films want to succeed is very simple.

Judging from the successful films, the answer is imminent, and that is to have a good production.

The script of "Nobody" is strong enough, the story is complex but self-justifying, and there are a lot of laughs in the middle, and the actors perform exquisitely.

"Wuwen Xidong" has stars such as Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Zhen, etc., but what moves the audience more is the youth stories of the characters in the play who embrace ideals, these stories not only have ambitious feelings for the family and country, but also subtle emotional discussions, which are moving.

This shows that literary films are not synonymous with obscurity, a good literary film also needs a good-looking story, and good-looking literary films can also be welcomed by the market.

The concept of commercial films is relative to art films.

Commercial films refer to films with box office revenue as the highest purpose and catering to the taste and appreciation level of the public.

For example, "Schindler's List" has enabled so many big stars and directors to support the film, and there is an easy-to-understand script story, and it has spent so much money, in fact, it is a box office, so from this point of view, this is a commercial film.

Shen Fei had conducted special research in his previous life, and in his opinion, there are basically three general characteristics of commercial films.

On the one hand, commercial films integrate a variety of commercial elements, such as popular stars, well-known directors, complex special effects, large investment, large-scale publicity, and simultaneous national or global releases.

In addition, commercial films, especially those in the United States, have huge investment and greater box office returns, but not every commercial film is successful.

Moreover, the main role of commercial films is entertainment and leisure, and the success of commercial films mainly depends on the box office!

In fact, there is no precise definition so far, and there is no clear distinction between literary films and commercial films.

Many excellent commercial films are not inferior to literary films in terms of ideology and exploration.

On the contrary, many literary films are far inferior to commercial films in terms of narrative, lyricism, and ideology.

Moreover, many films cannot be clearly classified at all, not only with commercial elements, but also with literary and artistic spirit, and this composite trend is becoming more and more obvious.

The best art film, and certainly the best commercial film.

Although this sounds a bit nonsense, Shen Fei feels that it actually makes sense.

Hao Xiaolei is a very good actor, her acting skills in literary films make her acting skills guaranteed, Shen Fei knows very well that if she transforms into making commercial films, she should be a very marketable actor.

After thinking about it, he nodded with a smile and said, "Since that's the case, then you can join my company." "

It's not that complicated.

A good actor is beneficial to the company and can make the company make money, so Shen Fei is of course willing to sign a contract.

And.

Shen Fei felt that in fact, Hao Xiaolei and the others, including Qin Hao, just didn't catch up with the good times.

Wait another ten years, and they will find that their market is actually huge!

Shen Fei remembers very well that he once met a producer in his last life, and the other party made it clear: "Now it is much more difficult for you to use a youth comedy to make money than it is to use a literary film that you can't understand." "

That's right.

Ten years later, that's it.

Wen Qing was respected and praised.

It's the style if you can't understand it, and the high box office is a miracle.

The god-making era of domestic literary films only appeared ten years later. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

Shen Fei thought it was ridiculous when he thought about it, and pure market behavior seemed destined to be accompanied by a certain degree of overkill.

In this regard, there is no essential difference between a swarm of youth films and a swarm of literary films.

After Huaguo film entered the commercial era, there has never been a moment when literary and artistic films have been promoted to such a high status as in later generations. Oh, this big concept of literature and art, you have to add documentaries and pseudo-documentaries.

The spring breeze of "Twenty-Two" and "Kailash" breaking 100 million yuan blew yesterday.

Hot money such as Maoyan and Taobao tickets poured in collectively.

Art Alliance, Elephant Screenings and even private theaters are gradually growing.

From investment to distribution, every chain of literary films is gilded.

But are domestic literary films really good-looking?

Actually, Shen Fei didn't think much about it.

In the years before his rebirth, the overseas film festivals of Chinese films were clearly experiencing a big regression.

In China, films with a little literary and artistic color are touted too magically after they are commercialized.

"A certain actor will harvest all the actors in the coming year", "A certain movie is destined to shine overseas", "A certain literary film can create a new box office record".

Domestic literary films seem to be full of style, crushing those commercial films full of copper stench, just waiting for the "tasteful" audience to discern the pearls.

But when the mystery is revealed, there are many people who don't know what to do.

But the advantage of literary films is that they occupy the commanding heights, and you can say that they "don't understand"!

The circle of friends of the masses needs to be embellished, and the new stories of capital need to be increased in literature and art.

Literary films may be destined to experience a slaughter, as well as exciting fishing in troubled waters.

"Really?"

Hao Xiaolei was very happy and looked at Shen Fei in surprise, she didn't expect Shen Fei to agree so happily.

originally thought that Shen Fei would hesitate, after all, he didn't have any resume, but he had just made some literary films.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fei agreed directly.

Although this Mr. Shen looked at him a little unscrupulously, and even a little aggressive, Hao Xiaolei inexplicably didn't feel uncomfortable, but stood up proudly.

I'm very proud!

Women, of course, have to be confident.

"Of course it's true."

Shen Fei smiled and said to Hao Xiaolei: "But don't worry, if you have a good book in the future, the company will still support you to shoot it." "

It's the truth.

In fact, the vast majority of people have a serious misunderstanding of the definition of literary films.

For example, in the early days, many people narrowly defined literary films as films with low box office, few stars, rough production, and a slightly dull pace, which were reserved for overseas film festivals.

Such an inherent impression has, to a certain extent, made the public and literary films drift apart.

For ordinary audiences, the "labels" of early literary films are incompatible with their own aesthetics.

The weakening of market demand has made literary films extremely struggling in the market.

Therefore, many early films had to draw a line with "literature and art", even if they were really literary films.

For example, "Fireworks in the Day", which won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, is a standard literary film no matter what dimension it looks at.

But after returning home, the film used a well-established commercial operation.

Highlight the star starring and the Berlin Golden Bear Award.

The most important thing is to draw a clear line between this film and "literary films" and promote it as a crime genre film.

The prospects of the overall market are uncertain, so that the seed players who can best drive literary films to break the game turn against each other and pretend to be commercial films.

But then, "Fireworks in the Day" won more than 100 million at the box office, and the filmmaker immediately changed his tune, saying that this film broke the box office record of domestic literary films.

Such struggles are reasonable, and the successful market performance makes it enough to define itself.

With the success of blockbusters such as "Fanghua" and "Wuwen Xidong" in the market, the concept of "literature and art" as a market strategy has become more and more radical.

The market is emerging, as long as the reputation is acceptable, and there is no clear blockbuster logo, movies are all considered "pseudo-concepts" of literary films.

The market uses its own logic to define literary films absurdly, which in turn forms a great misleading effect on the market itself.

The public believes that literary films should be like "Fanghua" and "Wuwen Xidong 443", which are wide open and full of emotions.

Capital believes that literary films that break one billion abound, and literary films have quickly become a red sea of hot money.

Shen Fei actually really scoffed at this.

In his opinion, after the influx of hot money, a large number of literary film directors will frantically experiment with many unrealistic literary ideas.

Frames of unbearable black and white long shots, sentences of illogical dialogues and even monologues.

Every penny spent by capital has become a more refined audio-visual language, coaxing more non-core users, and making more people feel that the goods are not the right version and do not know what to do.

But actually. No matter what kind of consumption upgrade is carried out, niche literary films will not completely become mass entertainment.

The original intention of hot money is to be small and big, and the violation of the two concepts contains a huge rift.

The aesthetic improvement of the general public may be far from keeping up with the speed at which literary films are being chased by capital.

The vast majority of audiences are still more receptive to the impact of narrative, and literary films with a strong experimental style are difficult to match with the public's consumption demand for movies.

You can expect that after the release of "Children of Jianghu", even if the box office is bad, the reputation will not collapse.

But you can't imagine what kind of ending "The Last Night on Earth" will go after it is released.

The bubble of literary films is more like a ticking time bomb, and once a high-profile film causes a huge disappointment, it is possible to quickly knock the entire category back to its original shape.

In Shen Fei's view, compared with classic literary films, too many literary films in later generations have to be patient to watch them, and the sense of form of the film is greater than the depth of the content.

It may be malicious to say that "trickery" is malicious, but at least it does not have enough ideological support.

tickles the three-point boots of life, and busily pretends to be twelve points of soul tremor, and it turns out to be pretentious.

And when the general public is disappointed with the "landmark" literary films, will this fire that has just been ignited be extinguished again? Especially for many propagandists, the labels of "strongest" and "best" are attached to literary films at every turn, so that the public's expectations for them are raised.

But every time the actual movie-watching experience is not satisfied, it is the word-of-mouth overdraft of the entire literary film category.

Shen Fei thinks that making a small-budget literary film is like rock music, you are just shaking your hands and shouting in a dirty place, if you have to force people to sit in the auditorium in a dress and listen, even if there is an audience, he will not accept it.

There is no distinction between literature and art in movies, only good and bad.

And the bubble of literary films that is being advocated will eventually burst on the face of everyone who advocates it.

And signing Hao Xiaolei made Shen Fei have an ambition, and he felt that maybe he could create a queen of literary films.

Of course.

This also requires Hao Xiaolei's cooperation, after all, if she can't make herself comfortable and satisfied, why would Shen Fei spend a lot of money for her?

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and every gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price!
