Q: How can you save a must-win movie without interfering with the filming?
The answer is actually very simple, get the final editing rights of the film!
Directors, especially those under the director-centered system, like to mix a lot of private goods into their personal works.
Literary films are the hardest hit area.
Commercial films cannot avoid these.
What is director-centered system?
That is to say, within the film crew, the director has all creative and command rights. If there are different opinions, the director has the final decision-making power.
Our country implements a director-centered system, which we borrowed from Mao Xiong.
In Hollywood, most of them are centered on producers, and directors are, at best, producers, or tools of the production company.
There is no difference between the director-centered system and the producer-centered system. They just have different creative forms.
For the former, the upper and lower limits are both very low. If you are a big director, you are likely to make a classic. If you encounter someone who is irresponsible or cheats money, the investor's money will be wasted.
As for the latter, although the upper limit is locked and unable to produce classic art films full of humanistic care, under the producer system, the lower limit of the works can be guaranteed.
Under the producer system, movies are also an industrial product. As long as they follow the rules of the industry, or a fixed structure, even if the movie fails, it will not fail too badly.
Obviously, commercial films are more suitable for the producer-centered system, while literary and artistic films are more suitable for the director-centered system.
In later generations, with the influx of capital from all walks of life into the film and television industry, although the director-centered system still existed, it slowly shifted to a producer-centered system.
Back to business.
It is not easy to save director Lin Xia's debut film.
"Female Flower" is the name of the work directed by Lin Xia. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is a literary film.
The first version of "Female Flower" is about the love of young people in the 1970s and 1980s.
But after being revised by Shen Miaomiao, Woman Flower became a one-man show for the heroine.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, after all the hard work, was admitted to the art troupe. A group of boys and girls in their youth gathered together, and hormones were inevitable.
But there is no scene of the heroine falling in love, she only has the longing for love.
All love scenes have been moved to the male lead and the female lead.
That's right.
There is no male lead in this drama.
The actors who played the second male lead and the daughter were all found by Lin Xia herself. She has been filming music videos for so long, so she always has some connections.
There is no need to ask others to recommend it.
However, there are not many scenes for the lead actor and the daughter. Before the year, only Zeng Li and some special actors were cast.
After the brief launch conference, several reporters immediately surrounded Li Jie.
"Hello, Teacher Erjun, I am Wu Yue, a reporter from the Yanjing Times. What is your relationship with Director Lin Xia?"
…
"Teacher Erjun, is "Female Flower" your work?"
…
"Hello, Teacher Erjun, I am Feng Xia, a reporter from Morning News. May I ask why you are here?"
…
The reporters at the scene were all asking questions and talking at the speed of a machine gun. In fact, it’s not their fault.
The main reason is that Li Jie's public appearances are too few.
The day before yesterday, they received the interview notice and almost suspected it was fake.
What "Female Flower" movie crew?
When you hear this name, it sounds like a work that will hit the street. Who is Erjun?
How could a well-known music producer and a well-known best-selling author come to such a small crew to attend the launch conference?
It was not until repeated confirmations that they confirmed the facts.
The phone call is real!
The interview invitation is also real!
Of course, the reporters present understood the exchange of interests in this interview, even if Huang did not say it explicitly.
It's nothing more than a platform for the movie "Female Flower".
When I went back to write the manuscript, I had to give the movie "Female Flower" a certain amount of space.
With Li Jie's status and popularity, such unspoken rules are not unacceptable.
Therefore, these reporters came with a mission.
"Everyone, how about we go to the side?"
Li Jie smiled gently and pointed towards the tent on the side.
"Don't disturb Director Lin's filming."
On the side, Zeng Li silently glanced in Li Jie's direction.
To be honest, she was quite touched by Teacher Erjun's dedication.
The crew of "Female Flower" needs money but not money, and fame but not fame. If Teacher Erjun hadn't attended, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be some second- and third-tier media.
On the other side, Li Jie led several reporters to the temporary tent.
This tent was used to store some equipment. Although the arrangement of things was not too cluttered, it was very crowded and not suitable for interviews at all.
But those reporters didn't care at all about the difficult conditions.
As long as we can interview our troops, it's not impossible to stand there for a day.
"The conditions are a bit rough, please bear with me."
Li Jie chuckled and sat directly on a wooden box.
"Just now a reporter from the Yanjing Times asked me what my relationship is with Director Lin. Some attentive reporter friends may have discovered it."
"Director Lin is Shen Miaomiao's official MV director, so I have a pretty good relationship with Director Lin."
"Female Flower is Director Lin's first work. As a friend, of course I have to be there to support him."
"As for whether Women's Flower is my work, I dare not take the credit. Women's Flower is an independent work of art created by Director Lin."
"I won't go into the specific content. Anyway, it's a very interesting story."
"I'm looking forward to the theatrical release of 'Female Flower'."
In the following time, in this small space, Li Jie faced several media for the first time and conducted an informal interview.
The interview probably lasted for more than an hour. During this period, as long as he could answer any questions that were not too sensitive, he came back.
certainly.
Before the end, he specifically told the reporters present that they should not publish his personal image in newspapers.
He didn't want to live a life in the spotlight.
Too tired.
When he was still Lu Xinghe, he had already experienced that kind of tiredness once, and he didn't want to experience it a second time.
Although the reporters present did not understand this 'strange' request, some people who are engaged in artistic creation have a little habit, which is also very important.
Therefore, the reporters present agreed not to publish the photos.
After all, they wanted to do another interview in the future.
If they turn against each other, how can there be a second time?
Not long after, Li Jie personally sent all the reporters away from the set, and then he returned to the set in a hurry.
It's not bad to watch Dalizi filming, at least it's more pleasing to the eye.
When he rushed back to the set, he happened to be filming an indoor scene again, and it was the interview session when Dalizi was admitted to the art troupe. (End of chapter)
