Mo Xiangwan knew Yueguan well, and he also knew the market.
After hearing what Yue Guan said, Mo Xiangwan nodded: "If this is the case, it will indeed have great potential at the box office."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't make it. At this stage, I have no plans to make artistic films. Commercial films will always be my priority."
This is not because Yue Guan is utilitarian. He is not short of money. No matter how high the box office of a commercial film is, it will have little impact on him.
Mainly because Yue Guan's aesthetics doesn't favor literary films, so he doesn't have much interest in them. Moreover, Yue Guan is worried that if he makes too many literary films, he will fall into the state of self-excitement like those of great literary directors, which will alienate him and the audience further and further.
We still need to be cautious in this regard. Looking at the older generation of directors and the new generation of directors like Xu Zheng, this trend is very obvious.
Yue Guan doesn't want to follow their old path.
He still wants to stand with the broad masses of the people. Art that cannot conquer the majority of people can be left to others to pursue. He does not pursue those things.
"You really don't value awards." Mo Xiangwan sighed.
If you want to win awards, literary and artistic films are definitely much easier than commercial films.
Yue Guan smiled: "Sister Xiang Wan, if I want to win an award now, do I need to make a literary film? I just don't want to look too ugly. The leader can win a Grand Slam, as long as I want, with "Feng Shen 3" After winning a Grand Slam, who dares to point fingers at me?"
"Are you interested in the Grand Slam? If you are, I will help you operate it." Mo Xiangwan said calmly.
But behind the calmness is domineering.
With Yue Guan's current energy, the results of "Feng Shen 3" and Yue Guan's acting skills in "Feng Shen 3", if Yue Guan is really determined to win, then others will really have to make way for him.
But Yue Guan really doesn't pay much attention to this.
"I have already won a Golden Dragon Award. Let it be this time. There is no need to go to public relations. If you can win it, just get it. If you can't, just forget it. Just win as many awards as you can. We don't have to worry too much about this aspect. My bonus isn’t particularly big anymore.”
The first time, Yue Guan still valued and moved her heart.
But the second time, Yue Guan didn't care very much.
Just let it go. It's nice to have it, but it doesn't matter to him as long as it's fair competition.
However, although Yue Guan does not attach much importance to the awards in the film industry, he wants to win another grand slam this time.
"Sister Xiang Wan, don't worry about PR for awards in the film industry, but I want to win all the awards in the television industry this year."
Mo Xiangwan glanced at Yue Guan in surprise: "Everyone is going up, so how can you go down? There is a big difference between the awards in the TV industry and the awards in the film industry."
"I know, but although my performance in "Feng Shen 3" is qualified to win the Best Actor, it is not to the level where I can surpass the other heroes and look at the small ones at a glance, so I am too lazy to compete. But "The Qin Empire" "Unification" is different, I am absolutely sure that no actor can surpass the Ying Zheng I portrayed in "The Unification of the Qin Empire" this year, at least not this year, so I feel at ease in receiving this award."
Although this year is not over yet, Yue Guan has this confidence.
Ying Zheng is definitely the most successful role he has created and the best role he has played. When he created this role, he reached the pinnacle of his acting skills so far, and judging from audience feedback, it was only after he finished playing Ying Zheng that he was included in the discussion of the best actor in Dragon Kingdom.
Yue Guan had won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor before, but at that time no one thought that he was already one of the best actors in the Dragon Kingdom.
After playing "The Unification of the Qin Empire", Yue Guan began to be viewed this way.
Awards belong to awards, and audience evaluation belongs to audience evaluation. The audience has a scale in their mind, and this scale is different from the standards for awards.
In fact, what Yue Guan cares more about and pursues is the latter's approval.
Because the latter is difficult to buy with money. The four little actresses and those popular celebrities are very rich, but few of them can spend money to make the audience think that they have good acting skills. On the contrary, the people who the audience thinks are particularly good at acting are actually not particularly rich.
As for awards, as long as you have money and connections, you can still get them even if you have no acting skills.
For example, Baihua Jushi...
Therefore, Yue Guan cares more about the audience's reputation and recognition.
And Ying Zheng is the character with whom he is most recognized.
He also hopes the role will receive the recognition it deserves in official awards.
Mo Xiangwan understood and said with a smile: "Yue Guan, you still have too high demands on yourself. There is no need. Those who win awards are never necessarily the ones with the best acting skills. This is the same at home and abroad. There is no need to set limits for yourself." Such harsh standards.”
"I know, I don't have any mysophobia in this area. I just think I have the ability to play better roles, so I'll keep them for now. If I really play that kind of irreplaceable role, I won't let the award fall by the wayside."
What should be mine must be mine.
It shouldn't be mine, so I'll fight for it.
This is Yue Guan's current mentality.
That's what he can do now.
Of course Mo Xiangwan had no objection to this.
"I understand, this matter is not a big problem, just leave it to me. By the way, if you want to shoot "New World", will "Xian Qin Empire" be postponed?" Mo Xiangwan asked.
Yue Guan shook his head: "Of course we will shoot "The Immortal Qin Empire" first. What can bring progress to domestic films will always be industrialized commercial special effects blockbusters. "New World" is just an extreme genre film no matter how good it is. The upper limit is It’s not on the same level. The focus of my work arrangement is definitely still on "The Immortal Qin Empire", and even if "New World" is to be filmed, it will be after the first episode of "The Immortal Qin Empire" is completed."
"Then it shouldn't be urgent."
"There is really no rush, but I still need time to prepare in advance. In fact, I want to finish filming the first part of "The Immortal Qin Empire" and "The New World" this year."
Mo Xiangwan was shocked: "There are only a few months before the Chinese New Year, so it is still possible to finish filming "The Immortal Qin Empire". After all, "The Immortal Qin Empire" is easy to shoot, but post-production is difficult. But "The New World" is not It might be easy to shoot, but it should be more difficult to shoot than "The Immortal Qin Empire"."
After all, the selling point of one is the special effects and the selling point of the other is the plot, which is destined to have higher requirements for actors in the latter.
Yue Guan smiled: "Sister Xiang Wan, what you said are all normal situations."
“What is an extraordinary situation?”
"The unusual situation is that some people are talented and can always go faster than you think."
Mo Xiangwan: "...You're not talking about Wang Jing, are you?"
"Sister Xiang Wan really understands me."
Long time no see Wang Jing.
But the shock that Wang Jing brought to Yue Guan has not disappeared.
In terms of speed, Yue Guan would like to call Wang Jing the strongest.
As for Wang Jing, this kind of gangster and police film is absolutely professional.
