Chapter 111 Emotions
Chapter 111 Emotions
After all, Zhen Liang is very beautiful, and Wang Xiaohao added a lot of passionate scenes.
However, the film performed quite well in Asia.
This film performed exceptionally well, especially in Japan and South Korea!
In addition, Japan and South Korea have a strong tendency to admire and fawn over foreign things. Zhen Liang earned the title of "Oriental Goddess" at the César Awards, which made her even more famous in these two countries.
As a result, Zhen Liang now frequently flies around, traveling to various Asian countries to rake in money.
By the way, Wu Yu, an artist signed to Wang Xiaohao's company, also made a fortune.
It's said that he has already earned tens of millions for the company!
Many companies want to poach Wu Yu with a large sum of money.
Wang Xiaohao didn't care about this; he didn't manage artist management at all.
However, with Wang Le'an and Zhao Liang around, they were able to keep Wu Yu in check and keep him at the company.
In short, everything is going very smoothly and is thriving for the time being.
All of this is thanks to my achievements!
Wang Xiaohao made a lot of money from three movies in a row.
Unless he makes a mistake, when a movie fails, all sorts of misfortunes and troubles will probably come knocking on his door!
Wang Xiaohao came from a humble background and achieved success with great difficulty, so he clearly understood what his foundation was!
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao dared not be careless in the film, nor did he dare to cut corners in the slightest.
Following his own creative habits, Wang Xiaohao recruited creative staff, mainly Ding Binbai and a few others, to help him create storyboards.
This helped Jin Ningxin understand the whole story and also facilitated the subsequent filming process.
Wang Xiaohao believes that the more thorough the preparation in advance, the more at ease you will be during the actual filming, rather than making mistakes and feeling lost.
What is meant by the industrialization of film?
In Wang Xiaohao's understanding, besides needing a standard process, a film also needs...
The most important thing is the preliminary work!
Love Letter is an art-house romance film, and its production difficulty is much higher than that of the purely commercial romance films, My Sassy Girl and My Love from the Star!
It was even more difficult to film than "Beautiful Legend".
The emotions in "Beautiful Legend" are much more intense, and intense emotions are actually easier to film.
On the contrary, films like "Love Letter," which appear calm on the surface, are the most difficult to handle emotionally.
If the emotions are too intense, it's easy to go overboard. If the emotions are too weak, the whole movie will feel bland and uninspired.
It is very difficult to control one's emotions.
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao definitely needs to do more pre-shooting preparations to avoid any mishaps!
Moreover, Wang Xiaohao was also a little worried about Jin Ningxin's acting skills.
I'm worried she won't be able to achieve the effect I want!
Movies like "My Sassy Girl" and "My Love from the Star" are commercial films. What they need most is the actors' character portrayals, rather than high demands on acting skills.
The female lead in "Beautiful Legend" doesn't actually need to have very high acting skills; most of the time, she just needs to keep a straight face.
In addition to those two movies, Wang Xiaohao was basically made for the role.
Therefore, the character's personality is very well-matched! It wasn't very difficult to act.
Love letters are different!
Although the film "Love Letter" doesn't demand too much from actors, Wang Xiaohao is still worried that Jin Ningxin won't be able to portray the character well.
Although "Love Letter" was a script that Wang Xiaohao specifically came up with for Jin Ningxin, it can be said to have been tailor-made for her.
However, Wang Xiaohao had never met Jin Ningxin at the time; he only knew Jin Ningxin from media reports and imagined her.
It wasn't until Wang Xiaohao met Jin Ningxin that he realized he had been completely wrong.
Jin Ningxin doesn't like reading at all, she's not a literary youth at all, and she doesn't like sentimental or melancholic things at all.
In addition, Jin Ningxin came from a wealthy family and was a flower in a greenhouse, so she had never experienced many of the emotions in the world.
While Love Letter appears to be a film about unrequited love, it also explores themes of life and death.
Whether this wealthy young lady can capture that feeling in the photos is really hard to say!
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao's early work in creating storyboards and storyboards also helped Jin Ningxin understand the mission status!
Yes!
Task status!
For commercial films, the most important thing is, of course, the story.
However, for art films, the story isn't the most important thing. Instead, the characters' states, emotions, and even the director's intentions—all sorts of miscellaneous things—are more important.
This is also why art films are not very appealing to most ordinary viewers.
Many times, I simply can't understand it!
Take the famous movie "Citizen Kane" from the previous life as an example. It ranks number one on many lists abroad.
However, when this film is introduced in China, it is often presented from the perspective of its plot and story.
The three people each told a different story, which had a huge influence on later films like Rashomon and Hero.
It's really baffling; I don't understand why this movie is ranked so high!
However, in reality, the reason why this movie is ranked so high has little to do with its plot.
What makes this movie so amazing is that it pioneered many film technologies.
In particular, its revolutionary use of depth-of-field lenses achieved an extremely high level of unity in film technology, aesthetics, and narrative, influencing subsequent filmmaking.
To put it simply, in early films, the film was flat and had no depth of field.
It wasn't until the release of films like "The Game Changer" and "Citizen Kane" that depth of field was introduced into cinema, giving it a sense of solidity and depth.
However, The Game Rules was the pioneer, while Citizen Kane, which appeared two years later, was the culmination of the game.
This is why Citizen Kane holds such a high position in film history; it is a pioneer in terms of technology.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline!
However, laymen don't understand that when discussing movies, they often start with the story and plot.
Commercial films and feature films are all about the story.
The reason why movies are considered art is largely due to the support of art films.
Of course, although Love Letter is an art film, it is one of the more enjoyable and easier-to-understand art films.
However, it is much more difficult to understand than commercial films with even simpler stories!
This is also why Jin Ningxin didn't even like the script for "Love Letter" back then.
As the days went by, something particularly funny happened this year.
That is, major film companies are all starting to develop commercial romance films!
The movie "My Sassy Girl" from two years ago made the romance film genre popular, and many companies followed suit.
Not many were successful!
This year, the film "My Love from the Star" grossed 1.8 billion yuan, shocking the entire industry. Suddenly, every company started vying to make commercial romance films!
