Chapter 252 Realism Theme
Without worrying too much about this issue, Zhang Chen came to his office, then turned on the computer and logged on to Zhang Chen.
Yes, he has known about the existence of this bar for a long time.
As a time traveler, of course I know the importance of fans.
There is no Weibo at this stage, so Tieba and blogs are the largest gathering places for fans.
After browsing it, I found that the owner of the forum, ‘Qingcheng Wuji’, immediately moved his blog here last night, and also heart-warmingly attached a link to the “Dialogue” video.
Zhang Chen used a large account that he had certified, but he only browsed and did not speak.
Just when he was about to walk around and leave today, a post suddenly caught his attention.
The title is - [I hope this post can be seen by Zhang Chen]
Zhang Chen clicked in curiously, and there was a short paragraph in it.
[
First of all, let me clarify my identity. I am a student at Northeast Normal University, majoring in film and television. I am considered a fan of Zhang Chen.
I watched "The Conversation" and was deeply touched by the term "popcorn movie" in it.
What I studied was film. From the time I entered school, the education I received was that film is the seventh art after architecture, sculpture, painting, music, poetry, and dance, and it should bear certain social responsibilities.
Movies are not only mass entertainment, but also have a social significance of spreading positive energy.
The word ‘positive energy’ was also mentioned by senior Zhang Chen when he gave a speech at Nortel.
But I found that Zhang Chen never makes realistic-themed movies. His movies focus most on entertainment attributes. "Dark Invasion", "Shark Beach" and "Manslaughter" are all good movies, but they are all good. It’s not about the people and things happening around us, but more about curiosity.
I don’t mean to say that what Zhang Chen did is wrong, but I am a little confused as to why his creative direction is different from what is taught in school.
Isn’t this how Nortel teaches movies?
My friends in the dormitory and I often discuss some hot events in society. I feel that many of them can be made into movies. If it is made, it will be a good work, but it is not likely to be a hit, so I'm a little hesitant and don't know if this is the right way to go...

After watching it, Zhang Chen was touched in his heart. This doubt among friends is probably the common doubt of all filmmakers when they first entered the industry. Zhang Chen has also had it before.
......
In the afternoon, Qingcheng Wuji, who was working in the CBD, finished the work at hand and then started fishing.
Finding that no one nearby was paying attention to him, Qingcheng Wuji visited the forum as usual and then returned to his own post bar.
He is the bar owner and always spends time taking care of the bar.
As for salary? Of course not, it’s purely for love.
I was going to reply to the newcomer's question, but I found that a post was pushed to the headlines of Tieba.
He has not done anything similar recently, so this post can only be promoted due to real popularity.
Qingcheng Wuji took a look, and the title was - I hope this post can be seen by Zhang Chen.
Out of curiosity, he clicked in. There was nothing surprising about the post. It was a question from a Northeastern Normal University student about Zhang Chen. But what was surprising was that Zhang Chen himself actually replied.
On the 12th floor, Zhang Chen’s certified account replied under the post: Received, very touched. Thank you, junior brother, for reminding me. I will explain it in detail on my blog later.
It was just a few words, but it attracted everyone’s attention.
A lot of comments below:
Am I dazzled? Zhang Chen actually replied in person~
Come on, come on, capture a certified Zhang Chen alive~
Oh my God, could it be that this bar was certified by Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen actually showed up~
I don’t believe it, I’m sure It's fake. Zhang Chen, please come out and say a few words~
...
Everyone expressed their shock in various ways.
Qingcheng Wuji was not much better.
He did not expect that Zhang Chen, who he had built casually, would actually appear.
Does this count as Li Kui meeting Li Gui?
Immediately, I was overwhelmed by the huge surprise. Zhang Chen appeared and replied to the post in person. This was simply a huge surprise.
By the time he exited the post, the post bar had gone crazy, with many posts expressing excitement appearing:
[Are we considered a full member now? 】
【Finally it’s not Tuba Road anymore! 】
[Master, why didn’t you tell me earlier about this relationship? Can you arrange an offline meeting? 】
[As for the reply, I read it several times, but there is no reply at all~]
Qingcheng Wuji realized this and hurriedly opened Zhang Chen’s blog and found that there was no reply. Said reply.
Is it not too late? Or forgot?
……
In Xingchen Entertainment, Zhang Chen’s office was filled with fairy mist.
In the smoke, a figure was typing on the keyboard with a cigarette in his mouth...
A knock on the door sounded, and then the door was pushed open, followed by Chen Xi's cough.
"What are you doing, making the house look like Penglai Wonderland~"
"Thinking~"
"Thinking about what?"
"Life."< br>
“Will you die if you don’t show off?”
"Haha, yes~"
Chen Xi waved his arms and waited until the smoke was almost gone before he came over.
"What are you writing? A script?"
"Well, a few realism themes."
"Realism?"
Chen Xi expressed surprise, "Don't you always look down on realistic themes?"
Zhang Chen was shocked: "Who said that? Who made the rumor?" He wanted to pull out the rumor maker. die.
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not.”
Zhang Chen was already over 40 before time travel in his last life. When it comes to watching movies, there is a clear difference between the movie-watching habits before and after the age of 35.
Before the age of 35, Zhang Chen liked the same things as all young people. He liked watching movies, blockbusters, visually stunning movies, beautiful cars, explosive gunfights, in short, the kind that can stimulate adrenaline secretion. .
After the age of 35, I gradually lost my love for this type of movies, and instead fell in love with realistic themes.
For example, "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Twenty-One" and "Keep You Safe".
The kind that can resonate with you or gain insights into life after reading it.
I am no longer interested in such visual feast films as Marvel.
It's weird, but that's it.
The post he read last night was quite touching to him, so he wrote hard and wrote out several realistic-themed books that were easy to write in his memory.
""Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots"?" Chen Xi came over and said, "What kind of story is this?"
Zhang Chen put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray, "Migrant Workers Death, the story of his fellow workers returning home thousands of miles away with his body..."
"Ah?" Chen Xi opened his mouth in surprise.
Zhang Chen closed her little mouth: "Don't be surprised, this is adapted from a piece of news reported by the Southern Metropolis Daily at the beginning of this year."
Zhang Chen even took out a I read that newspaper——
My companion Zuo died in a foreign country. In order to return the body of the deceased to his hometown, Li Shaowei and other four fellow villagers from Hunan disguised the deceased as a drunkard and a sick person in order to transport the deceased back from Fujian. From my hometown in Hunan, I was discovered by the police on the way to Guangzhou and stopped.
Subsequently, the body of the deceased Zuo was sent to the Guangzhou funeral parlor, and his family members also arrived one after another.
"Southern Metropolis Daily" and some other media also conducted a series of follow-up reports on the incident, involving Li Shao's censure from the family of the deceased, the situation in Li and Zuo's hometown, and the subsequent handling of Zuo's funeral, etc., which aroused great concern at the time.
Original empty, director Zhang Yang saw this news, and then wrote the script of "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" and invited Zhao Benshan to star.
The script was originally called "Falling Leaves", but later it was changed to "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" following Zhao Benshan's suggestion.
Zhang Yang combined the four workers in the movie into one person and filled in some plot points to create a road comedy.
The idea was actually very good, but in the end the box office of the film was not very good and the cost was not recovered.
But this has nothing to do with the quality of the movie. The main reason is that the promotion was not adequate and the schedule chosen was not good.
He chose the Lunar New Year stall.
Maybe it’s because there are more people watching the movie during the Lunar New Year period.
But I didn’t consider the issue of publicity.
The Lunar New Year movies are full of blockbusters, and the one that was released at the same time was "The Golden Armor". With Zhang Weiping's urinary nature, it will definitely occupy most of the space. How many resources will be left for "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots".
The movie is indeed a good movie, and Zhao Benshan's performance is also very exciting. It will be unforgettable for a long time after watching it.
What a pity.
This film didn’t get much attention at all, and it certainly didn’t do well at the box office.
If the box office is not good, the theater chain will downgrade the film, and the box office will not be better.
Not every film can rely on word of mouth.
In addition, Uncle Benshan's acting skills are actually very good, and "Liu Laogen" is the best proof.
In terms of acting skills, he is better than Fan Wei.
In fact, the acting skills of many people in China are seriously underestimated, especially comedians, because people always unconsciously regard movie roles as an extension of their comedy roles.
Of course, except Guo Degang, he really can't act.
The one who has developed the best among Deyun Club in film and television is the eldest son. That is because many of the characters he plays are very similar to his own personality, which is equivalent to his true performance.
Zhang Chen has considered that if this film is made by Star Entertainment and it is released on May Day or Eleventh Day, it should be no problem to get a box office of 20 to 30 million yuan.
No matter how high it is, it is unlikely. After all, it is a realistic subject.
Because realistic themes must respect facts, dramatic conflicts are generally not very strong. The only way to impress the audience is to resonate.
But the story of "The Return of Fallen Leaves" can only move people at best. It is difficult to resonate with some feelings, which limits the box office ceiling.
The reason why the later "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was able to get a box office of 3.1 billion is because there are too many illnesses around us that cannot be cured.
The audience can easily find similar situations in their own experiences, which resonates with them.
"Are you going to film this story?"
"No."
Zhang Chen shook his head: "I'm afraid I don't have time. There is also a movie called "Seeing the Devil" in Hollywood. It's "Painted Skin". "Who are you going to film? "The Crazy Journey"?
It's a good suggestion, but Zhang Chen doesn't dare to do it.
Ning Hao is the director he introduced. He wants to become the second banner of Star Entertainment and cannot tolerate any mistakes.
Moreover, the script structure of "Falling Leaves Returning to Its Roots" is completely different from that of the Crazy series.
The biggest label of the Crazy series is multi-line narrative, and "Crazy Racing" almost takes this to the extreme.
Why did the later "Crazy Alien" have such a bad reputation? In addition to being a rushed work, it was also a big reason why it did not meet people's expectations.
When people hear that it starts with "crazy", people will subconsciously think that it is a multi-line narrative type, which has been used as a label by Ning Hao.
If you just ride on the crazy popularity, you will soon know what it means to succeed and fail~
“Forget it, Ning Hao can’t do it, I’d better think of other candidates. ”
