When Chen Kaige heard Yue Guan's suggestion, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Chen Hong was beside Chen Kaige at the moment. She pushed Chen Kaige, and then said firmly to Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, I'm sorry, our old Chen doesn't accept TV series."
She wanted to hold her son in her arms.
But she knows the general picture and knows the importance.
Chen Kaige is a great movie director.
If Chen Kaige goes to film a TV series, he will be lowering himself.
She couldn't accept such a thing.
This is also the reason why Yue Guan did not consider Chen Kaige before.
In any case, it is difficult for you to imagine Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Feng Xiaogang filming TV series.
At this stage, TV dramas are indeed on a lower level than movies in many senses, especially in the world's perception.
Yue Guan didn't force it, but just reminded him: "Director Chen, Sister Hong, things are different now. According to my judgment, it will be a general trend for movie stars to go down to earth to shoot TV series, and for film directors to go down to earth to shoot online dramas."
Chen Hong had no reaction when she heard this. Although she was considered an industry insider, her sense of smell was definitely not comparable to that of professional directors.
Chen Kaige is more perceptive than Chen Hong.
He looked at Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, do you think the status of online dramas and TV series will increase in the future?"
"Pretty much, the main reason is that the status of movies will also decline. In fact, whether you are making movies or TV series, it is all about making money, and whoever makes more will make whichever one. Director Chen, if you have paid attention to Hollywood, you should be able to find that, Now even the Oscar-winning actor has started filming Netflix series."
Chen Kaige has really paid attention to this.
Hollywood is the ultimate dream of directors of their generation, and of course they are very concerned about the trend of Hollywood.
This was also the reason why he looked at Yue Guan's words in a different light just now.
He had only vaguely noticed these trends, and more people had not even noticed it, but Yue Guan had already judged this general trend.
There is no real person under such a great reputation. At this moment, Chen Kaige thought of the legend about Yueguan in the industry.
In terms of market prediction, Yue Guan is undoubtedly ahead of many people.
During his contact with Yue Guan, he also recognized Yue Guan's talent and vision.
Therefore, he quickly accepted Yue Guan's judgment.
But he still has concerns.
"Yue Guan, I personally think what you said makes sense, but directors like me have no precedent of making TV series."
Hearing what Chen Kaige said, Yue Guan knew that Chen Kaige was moved.
Otherwise, it will be rejected directly.
Chen Hong also realized it and called out anxiously: "Old Chen."
Chen Kaige raised his hand to stop Chen Hong from continuing to speak.
In the general direction, he is the one in control.
Yue Guan smiled upon seeing this and said: "Director Chen, this drama is a mission from above. It is not an ordinary drama. It is just like "Those Things in the Entertainment Circle". The scale is larger than this, and the lineup is also comparable to "Entertainment Circle". Those things are stronger."
Nowadays, people in the industry believe that "Those Things in the Entertainment Circle" was filmed under the direction of higher authorities, so Yue Guan did not have any psychological pressure to pull the flag and pull the tiger's skin.
Chen Kaige believed it.
It has never been a secret that Yue Guan has a good relationship with his superiors.
It is normal to receive this kind of mission.
And if this kind of drama is filmed...
Chen Kaige narrowed his eyes.
This is all about qualifications and popularity.
At his level, money is no longer the most important thing.
And Yue Guan can provide him with something that is exciting.
"In addition, I personally estimate that Xiaogangpao will also try online dramas in the future."
Yue Guan brought the small steel cannon in, which made Chen Kaige interested.
Although he always believed that Zhang Yimou was worthy of being his opponent, Xiaogangpao was also a well-known director after all.
If Xiaogangpao went to film online dramas, it would not be a big deal if he filmed a TV series starring Yue Guan.
Chen Kaige just didn't understand: "Why do you say that?"
Yue Guan smiled: "The Dragonborn brothers are finished. If Xiaogangpao doesn't want to become a dumb gun, he must test the water in many ways, or will he sink the ship with the Dragonborn brothers?"
After "Things in the Entertainment Industry" broke out, the stock prices of Dragonborn Brothers skyrocketed.
The fall was so bad that the Huang brothers wanted to commit suicide.
As a director bound to the Dragonborn brothers, although Xiaogangpao wanted to help the Dragonborn brothers, he really couldn't do it.
Even he himself is in danger.
At this time, being competitive is not a priority.
Survive and make money are the most important things.
Hearing what Yue Guan said, Chen Kaige took a deep look at Yue Guan.
Speaking of the tragic situation that the Dragonborn brothers are in today, Yue Guan should be directly responsible for it.
He didn't know that Yue Guan was not only the direct promoter, but also the culprit.
Despite this, it was still enough to make Chen Kaige look at Yue Guan in a new light.
"Is this drama starring you Yue Guan?"
"Yes, I am looking forward to working with Director Chen. Moreover, the script is very heavy, which should suit Director Chen's taste."
If you ask Chen Kaige to make a comedy, it will most likely not work.
He doesn't like that kind of subject matter either.
But Chen Kaige was very interested in Yue Guan's heavy-themed script.
"It goes without saying that the quality of your script is great. Since you asked it yourself, I'll take it."
Chen Kaige finally reached a verbal agreement with Yue Guan.
As for whether the follow-up can be successful, naturally we still have to continue talking.
But that's what happened to Chen Hong and Mo Xiangwan.
Chen Kaige wants to determine to what extent Yue Guan is involved in this drama.
And Yue Guan has to ensure that he can make Chen Kaige restrain his desire for secondary creation, shoot strictly according to the script, and only bring out his masterful directing skills.
If we really want to cooperate, there will definitely be a lot of details that need to be finalized, and it won't be easy, especially with such a big director.
But as long as both of them are willing, it shouldn't be difficult.
As for now, the most important thing is the promotion of "Search".
Yue Guan was tired of following the promotion for a few days. He took the initiative to suggest: "Director Chen, I actually think that "Search" can start to be screened and take the word-of-mouth route."
If you are particularly confident about the quality of a movie, the screening route is actually a good choice.
Yue Guan thought that Chen Kaige must be very confident.
But this time he was wrong.
Chen Kaige felt a little uneasy.
"Would you like to think about it again?"
Yue Guan was a little surprised: "Director Chen, you don't have confidence in "Search"? You shouldn't."
"Yue Guan, I filmed this drama too fast, and I haven't had time to show off all my skills." Chen Kaige said worriedly.
Yue Guan: "..."
This is a good thing.
"Also, the previous screenings of "Pure Heart·Dream Showbiz" and "Taiping Wheel" both overturned. I feel that the screenings are poisonous, so I should be cautious." Chen Kaige said.
Yue Guan was delighted: "Director Chen, don't worry, you are much better than Director Bi and Director Wu."
