Cannon Fodder Battle Chapter 899: Get out of the entertainment circle (18)
It is not right to say that Director Zhang does not make movies to make money, but he really does not make movies to make money and leave.
He is not short of money, he is just a person who strives for excellence.
He has long seen through the chaotic domestic film market, so he will not spend much money on actors.
There are too many actors and actresses begging to make his movies. There used to be a sister and a brother in China. The number of fans on social media has reached tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Stars are vying to make his movies for free.
However, Director Zhang may not necessarily like them.
To be featured in his movie, firstly, the appearance must conform to his own vision, and secondly, the acting skills must pass the test.
Even for a newcomer who has no filming experience at all, as long as he meets his requirements during the interview, he can train that grass bird to fit the role in his heart.
This time, Director Zhang just posted a ten-word message on his personal Weibo that he was preparing a movie, which attracted tens of millions of people's replies.
Fans of the director are all, "Looking forward to the new film!"
"What kind of film is Director Zhang planning to make this time?"
"Shooting in China or abroad?"
"I look forward to Director Zhang bringing back an Oscar statuette again."
And the executives of the major entertainment companies are also busy. They know Director Zhang's temperament, and they are in a hurry. He really doesn't care about the domestic market. He can make a lot of money abroad, so they just Can follow him, send tactful greetings, ask Director Zhang if he needs help or something.
In the past, the major domestic entertainment companies actually united to force Zhang Yixi over. At that time, Zhang Yixi had not yet become the honorary president of the National Film Association.
What happened that time was quite big, because the major film companies squeezed him out.
Because Zhang Yixi revealed in advance what type of movie he was going to shoot, major entertainment companies found that they needed to shoot in China, and it was also a movie where all the actors needed Asians to shoot.
At that time, the bigwigs in the industry united and threatened that anyone in the country who was in the film and television industry would not be allowed to participate in Zhang Yixi's film.
Otherwise, no matter who is in Zhang Yixi's crew, even if it is a camera operator, lighting engineer, make-up artist, etc., as long as the name appears on the subtitles of Zhang Yixi's movies, he will not be able to enter other people's jobs in the future. crew.
Also threatened several film and television bases that fit Zhang Yixi's film settings, warning them not to let Zhang Yixi go in to shoot, otherwise they will not shoot future movies and TV series.
This kind of threat is really scary. After all, only those who are not short of money will pursue fame and fortune, and most of the rest will join the film crew for food and clothing. If they joined other crews, wouldn't they be unemployed?
Not every film and television base wants to be as good as Hengdian, so naturally they are also afraid of such an industry ban.
Some children from the film school and some ordinary actors were also frightened and did not dare to interview Director Zhang's film.
What happened that time was really amazing.
It is really difficult to shoot a movie without these basic staff.
However, Zhang Yixi once again proved with practical actions that he is a genius, a person who is not afraid of threats, and slapped everyone in the face.
Although, at the beginning, their strategy succeeded, and no one dared to go to Zhang Yixi, and Zhang Yixi also knew that they banned him, so he didn't go to the film and television academy to interview actors, and he didn't call any actors .
Just when they thought they had succeeded, just when everyone thought Zhang Yixi would bow to them for peace.
Zhang Yixi drove away from Shangjing alone.
It looks like I went out to relax.
How can one person make a movie? Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had succeeded.
However, for Zhang Yixi's film that time, he really shot it with his hand alone.
Actors, I really didn't find anyone from a professional class. He went directly to the countryside and personally looked for farmers without any acting experience.
Those who got the news thought that he was crazy and that he was killing himself.
However, Zhang Yixi is not crazy, he knows what he is doing.
As for the farmers in those villages, they have nothing to do with the entertainment industry. Even if they are banned by the film and television industry, it will have no effect on them. They are originally farmers and have no intention of being in the entertainment industry.
So they received a salary ranging from 80-300 per day from Zhang Dao, and followed Zhang Dao.
The cost of Director Zhang's filming was the same as that charged by extras in many big movies.
Of course, I also rented two trucks that pull river sand from farmers' villages.
There is also money given to the women in the village to help the "crew" cook.
Then, a movie was shot with a cost of less than 500,000 RMB, and the cost is really that low.
The film is completely original and hand-held, recorded on-site, edited by Zhang Yixi himself, with English subtitles by Zhang Yixi himself.
Those people can still do it with some small tricks, but they can't interfere with the radio and television. Zhang Yixi's film passed the review and was sent to the international awards. Radio and Television is eager for Zhang Yixi to win glory for the country.
The rural suspense movie still won an international award.
Scheduled movies in foreign theaters and made a lot of money. The village flower from the village has since gone international and won awards.
Everyone exclaimed that it was impossible, but Zhang Yixi did it.
This ending slapped the faces of those "banned" people in China, and satirized a large group of actors and actresses who claimed to be stars, even the acting skills of farmers were inferior.
However, the domestic industry is like that, and they will not admit their mistakes, and the ban will continue.
In those two years, Zhang Yixi also seemed to be competing with the domestic film industry. In less than a year, he once again announced on Weibo that he was about to shoot a new film.
At this time, the "blocking" is still going on. Even if some people want to participate in Zhang Yixi's film, they are still afraid of being "blocked~IndoMTL.com~Zhang Yixi seems to have fallen into the dilemma of having no actors and no crew.
People don't believe that he created a miracle once, and he can create a second miracle.
As a result, Zhang Yixi drove his car again this time, and drove off with a hand-held camera.
This time, Zhang Yixi did not go to the countryside.
He went to the forest, found a few hunters, took the order to find the ranger for assistance, and entered the forest.
It came out a month later. This time, the subtitles are still made by himself. In fact, there is not much dialogue. It is full of scenes of forest rangers and poachers dealing with each other. There is no dialogue, but it is exciting enough.
This time, he shot a poaching-themed movie. Although the hand-held shooting was shaking, it also increased the sense of reality and tension. Foreigners like this.
Then, he won an international award again, and foreign cinemas also made money by arranging films. In China, Zhang Yixi directly put it on the Internet for viewers to watch for free,... ()
