The Director of Music Department - Chapter 1395
“Actually, my first movie was a love movie that I made. Unfortunately, that movie was not even available on the theater line.” Yang Qing explained with a wry smile.
For every director, the first film he directed is often special.
Just like, every woman is always particularly impressed with her first man.
Wang Yifan could understand Yang Qing’s obsession.
But to be honest, when it comes to love movies, I don’t know when it will start, as if people all over the world are no longer in love.
You know, before this, love movies are usually hailed as the safest movies.
In fact, in the early years of love movies, there are not a few who are big and small.
For example, “33 Days of Broken Relationship”, and “Overtime Cohabitation” and so on.
At that time, romance movies were considered to be the most likely to make money. Starting from “33 Days of Broken Love”, they all felt that this was the safest and most likely to be a small film type. All the film companies are developing this kind of film, and now, the film companies shook their heads when they saw this genre.
Many people don’t realize that love has been ignored, but it is still the strongest emotional need of mankind.
We must know that when “Overtime Cohabitation” appeared, in fact, there were very few top-selling love movies on the market, but why did it still sell well? Why did “The Later Us” sell so much? If the sincere feelings between men and women can be expressed, this part of the audience may have been silent.
As for why there are no romance movies? Even if there are many, they are all remakes. The law of love is no longer applicable, because love in reality cannot be made into a movie at all: it is just a piece of cake, with various considerations of reality. These films seem to be okay, but the intensity of filming is not enough.
First of all, of course, because of the harsh social environment, money has become the most worrying thing for young people. In comparison, what is love?
But does it mean that there is really no market for romance movies?
Definitely not. As mentioned above, love is still the strongest emotional need of human beings!
Therefore, love will not really have no market, but how to tell and how to shoot love has become the biggest problem.
Why is Zhao Dongming dissatisfied and frowning?
In fact, if it is a domestic one, one or two romance movies can occasionally appear to be hits, but on the contrary, it is a foreign country, Hollywood, it really seems to have become a desert of romance movies.
There are only a few small-cost movies, and big stars are reluctant to make them.
Investors are not willing to invest anymore.
Because they think that the market no longer needs such movies, or that the current market does not have an environment for the outbreak of such movies!
In fact, it is quite similar to the decline of martial arts.
In previous romance movies, the heroine in “Lone and Widow” gave up the wealth of the upstart Internet elite, but chose her boss who was not very promising; the big star in “Notting Hill” fell in love with the small bookstore owner… Money and status are nothing to talk about. Love movies always talk about “the moment when love happens” is the most important thing.
And now? The serious homogeneity of thinking among young people is very narrow. All these classic love movies appear to children nowadays to have “three wrong views”.
Yes, it’s weird, isn’t it?
Pure love, on the contrary, becomes “the three views are not right”.
The big star fell in love with the bookstore owner. From the perspective of young people nowadays, not only do they not feel romantic, but feel too fake!
So, many times, we will find that people now start to like nostalgia.
Most of the love can only exist in nostalgic movies, youth movies and so on.
Because if it is the past, then everyone may still think, true!
So, it’s not a movie, if the previous life can explode, this life will surely become popular.
For this reason, Yang Qing’s inclination actually made Wang Yifan a little embarrassed.
He can’t destroy his undefeated golden body, so the movie must be more sure.
Some people might say, don’t TV dramas often have many romantic dramas?
But look carefully, those so-called hot dramas about love and marriage.
It can really be said that all that is promoted are negative energy.
What “Ode to Joy”, what “Thirty”, what “Golden Years” and other dramas, there are a lot of men and women, but what you can see is the innocence of money worship, derailment and so on. .
Anyway, in short, all young people now believe in: “It’s nice to be alone.” “Are you not happy to follow stars? Isn’t the drama good? Why do you want to fall in love?” …
If you are in love. Then young people want an absolute love, that is: “If you are in love, you must get married. If you are in love, you must keep your eyes open. There can be no change in love.”
People sympathize with those who have been abandoned, “Her boyfriend/girlfriend… is so pitiful”.
But what the previous love movies said is: if this is not true love, then it is also unfair to your boyfriend/girlfriend. He/she should also look for his/her true love again. In other words, love is an uncontrolled flow process.
It can be said that it is a change of concept, which completely makes the once-popular love movies gradually disappear from people’s field of vision.
Well, having said so much, it’s actually just one point, that is, the market for romance films is really bleak!
However, Wang Yifan wanted to give it a try. The classics are classics after all. Some movies, even if they are put in ten or twenty years, will actually not change much.
In fact, love is always the emotion that people need most, otherwise, “Titanic” would not sell so well.
“Romance movie, will it be too…” Zhao Dongming still didn’t want such a rare opportunity to be put on the top of the romance movie.
With so many themes of commercial movies, are science fiction movies not popular?
Are monster movies not popular?
Isn’t adventure blockbusters popular?
Why do you have to have a romantic movie?
Isn’t this a waste of resources?
I can’t help but feel resentful towards Yang Qing.
After all, from the standpoint of Zhao Dongming, the first thing he must consider is whether the movie can be a hit and whether it can become a hit. In fact, he doesn’t pay much attention to the subject matter.
However, Yang Qing chose a movie theme that can be said to be the most difficult to break out, which made him a little dissatisfied.
“In fact, romantic films are also a good choice. After all, it can be said that popular themes have long been badly filmed. Otherwise, Hollywood will not have been committed to the development of sequels of those films. On the contrary, it is a romantic film. Although the subject matter is a bit old, if the shot is good, the influence is not comparable to other subjects.”
“The classics that can be passed down for a long time, in fact, there are not a few about love.” Wang Yifan said with a smile.
It is true, what a capable person can’t, is a heroic character.
