Yue Guan could understand Yang Xue's feeling.
In fact, after watching "The Long Night," he had very complicated emotions.
There is some pride, some relief, but also some sadness and depression.
Most of the scenes he filmed before were just to entertain the audience.
This drama is not.
He himself felt unhappy after reading it.
But he has no regrets about filming this movie.
This is not to export values, but to take pictures of things that have happened in the past and are still happening now, and to praise those warriors who have existed in the past, exist now, and will still exist in the future.
""Long Night" has been online for a few days. Audiences who have watched it say it is good, but it is still difficult to attract those who have not watched it. It is indeed due to the subject matter. There is no way." Yue Guan was also helpless: "This With such a theme and plot, if I were the audience, I wouldn’t actually like to watch it.”
There is no right or wrong.
Most of the audiences come to watch movies and TV series to relax, not to reflect.
So even if the quality of your filming is very good, the audience will not only not be relaxed nor feel happy after watching it, then what will the audience gain
Most viewers don't want to receive education from a play.
Yue Guan accepts this reality.
Therefore, he did not have too many expectations for the results of "The Long Night" from the beginning.
Just satisfy the viewers who are willing to watch.
Li Xin checked the information about "The Long Night" online, and then said pleasantly: "It has a rating of 9.5, and 400,000 people have rated it. It has only been a few days, so this number is already very high."
Yangxue was a little surprised: "Is it so high? It's much higher than I expected."
"It's actually not that high. After all, with the audience covered by CCTV, my name, and the blessing of Chen Kaige, it is natural to achieve this result. However, the profit can indeed be expected. I will add some publicity in the future. "The Long Night" "Unclear" will definitely not become a phenomenal TV series, but it can still attract as many viewers as possible."
In fact, Yue Guan and Chen Kaige talked on the phone before.
Chen Kaige was stunned by the high reputation of "Long Night".
He never expected that after filming "Farewell My Concubine", his most acclaimed drama would not be a movie, but an online drama.
After watching "Long Night", many viewers exclaimed that Chen Kaige, who filmed "Farewell My Concubine", is back.
Many netizens who promoted that Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was made possible by his father, all apologized to Chen Kaige after watching "The Night of the Night", catching Chen Kaige off guard.
He didn't understand what was going on in the world.
It only took him twenty days to shoot the movie "Long Night". How come it has such a good reputation
But it's just that good.
And everyone agrees.
Niche themes have this advantage, and the audience will be very tolerant. In addition, "Long Night" is indeed well shot, which means that although "Long Night" has not yet exploded in performance, its reputation has exploded first.
If it weren't for the depressing subject matter and plot, the reputation would have been at least three times as popular as it is now.
Li Xin also thought of Chen Kaige and looked a little weird: "Director Chen was interviewed yesterday. I felt that he was confused and kept pushing the credit away."
"Be confident and get rid of your feelings." Yue Guan chuckled.
…
Go back to one day ago.
Chen Kaige, who was being discussed by Yue Guan and Li Xin at this time, was indeed very confused.
Chen Hong hung up the phone again, and then said to Chen Kaige beamingly: "Old Chen, have you noticed that you have been so popular recently that variety shows have started to invite you."
Chen Kaige has always been famous, but for a variety show, the price/performance ratio is too low.
After all, no matter how famous a director is, he can't compete with celebrities.
But now Chen Kaige has actually begun to receive invitations to variety shows.
The price made Chen Hong excited.
Chen Kaige didn't understand: "Just because of "Long Night"?"
"Definitely." Chen Hong said excitedly: "Old Chen, I also watched "Long Night". I really didn't expect you to be so good at it."
Chen Kaige: "..."
Did he take the photo well
It only took twenty days in total, and he felt that the work was completed mechanically.
The script of "Long Night" is shockingly written, and the actor's performance is awesome. In fact, he himself has no sense of existence from the beginning to the end.
But after "The Long Night" aired, his phone was bombarded with calls.
As the director of The Long Night, he was also praised by countless fans for The Return of the King.
This made Chen Kaige very confused.
Is it possible that this is the correct way for the director to open it
This is different from what he thought before.
When Chen Kaige was still confused, his cell phone rang again.
Chen Hong's sharp eyes saw the name on the caller ID on her phone, and she quickly reminded Chen Kaige: "Hurry, it's from the leader."
Chen Kaige also saw the name on the caller ID, and immediately got excited and answered the call immediately.
"Good leadership."
"Director Chen, I watched your film "Long Night" and it was very well shot and very shocking."
Chen Kaige said seriously: "There is still a lot of room for improvement."
"It's already very good, much better than I expected. Good script, good actors, and good director. Director Chen, I hope to see your more excellent works next time."
Chen Kaige thought the leader called with some instructions.
But he waited for a long time and still didn't hear any instructions until he hung up the phone.
In other words, the other party made this call just to praise him for the good work of "The Night of the Night".
After realizing this, Chen Kaige's mood became complicated.
To be honest, he really didn't feel that the TV series "The Long Night" reflected his level.
But everyone who has seen it said it was good.
"Old Chen, what did the leader say?" Chen Hong asked with concern.
Chen Kaige said with a complex expression: "I just complimented me on the good work of "The Night Is Hard to See"."
Chen Hong was stunned at first, and then she was overjoyed: "Old Chen, your fortune is about to turn around."
Chen Kaige: "..."
I always feel like a thief, stealing the fruits of other people's labor.
He mentioned this idea to Chen Hong, who laughed out loud: "You are the director of "The Long Night". The success of this film must be your credit. Why do you think so much about it?"
"I...hey..."
Chen Kaige has realized the problem.
It's just that he doesn't want to face it that much.
Unfortunately, if you try to deceive yourself and others, it is a bit insulting to your own intelligence.
Moreover, he really enjoys this current situation and this kind of pursuit.
Shaking his head, Chen Kaige said to Chen Hong: "The performance of "Long Night" is not particularly explosive. Let's activate our connections and promote it more to make the performance of this drama better. In addition, we should promote it more Praise Yue Guan’s acting skills and the acting skills of the rest of the crew, and don’t pin the credit on me alone.”
He thought about it.
It's better to be praised than scolded.
Anyway, he is indeed the director of this drama. No matter what, it will never go wrong if he promotes it more.
And when such a big director in the film industry wants to promote a TV series, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack for other TV series.
