From eunuch to villain actor

If it is placed in a TV series, it is likely to be a small series of several episodes, but relatively, many things can happen in this one-hour movie.

Dong Yi recalled the scene when he first saw Hongfan District, and found that almost every detail was handled very well.

But Dong Yi felt relieved after thinking about it. If she couldn't even handle this well, it probably wouldn't attract North American audiences who have been baptized by Hollywood for years.

Dong Yi pondered for a moment, then got up and spoke.

"I don't know much about Hongfan District personally. What's more, I learned a few words from Brother Chenglong."

"I think this movie will definitely get a high box office and a good reputation, because this is Huaguo's first movie going abroad."

"However, in contrast, I personally think that there are still a little flaws. If you can make preparations for this, it will be perfect."

After Dong Yi finished speaking, everyone was astonished.

In the eyes of Zheng Shuang and Gu Li Nazha, Dong Yi's words cast doubt on Tang Jili and Cheng Long.

Because flaws definitely cannot be caused by one person, if there are flaws, it means that it is the problem of the entire crew.

If you say that, are you sure you won't offend others?

Cheng Long didn't expect that Dong Yi would actually dare to criticize. In fact, he asked this question in order to liven up the atmosphere and make the scene less restrained.

Most people will definitely appreciate it, after all, this matter concerns the face of many people.

But what he didn't expect was that Dong Yi didn't play cards according to the routine at all, which really surprised him a bit.

But recalling the process of getting to know Dong Yi, generally speaking, there must be flaws in what he said.

As for Tang Jili, he also showed an expression of listening. He would think seriously about almost anyone's objection.

After all, this matter is related to the consideration of the North American market.

If what Dong Yi said is right, then if you have it, you can change it;

He wouldn't get angry with a junior just because of this matter.

As for Mei Yanxiang and Ye Fanghua, they were already dumbfounded at this time.

They never thought that someone would dare to put forward different opinions in front of the two of them.

You know, Cheng Long and Tang Jili are present, even if they are the first-line popular stars, they are still on pins and needles.

On the other hand, this well-known Dong Yi seemed very calm and composed.

What does this mean?

It shows that he has real talent and learning in his heart, and the two of them also want to see how Dong Yi evaluates this movie.

Amid the eager anticipation of everyone, Dong Yi spoke.

"In fact, this movie is already at a very top production level in China now, whether it's from the preparations you made in the early stage or the shooting process."

"It can almost be seen that you are trying to cater to the North American market, but if this movie is released in North America, it will only be a small hit."

"There is no possibility of a big explosion at all, do you know why I say that?"

After Dong Yi finished speaking, everyone shook their heads at the same time. After all, this matter was still a little strange to them.

Even if several films have been shown in North America, without exception, they are all submerged in the vast ocean.

So they want to find the essence of North American films, which they have been unable to control.

It's Tang Jili again. Recently, he has been watching North American movies all night every day, trying to find a common ground.

But this point is very difficult to find, because of differences in culture, education level, environment, etc., the movies that everyone likes to watch are also different.

It is really difficult to find the movie that most people want to watch.

He was really pleasantly surprised to hear a different voice today, but he was also afraid that Dong Yi was talking nonsense.

Dong Yi paused for a moment, then spoke.

"In fact, when we look at Hollywood movies, we will find that there is a big difference between them and our local movies, and that is the concept!"

"Generally, our movies are for our family and country, for our little wealth and peace, but Hollywood is different. They like to exaggerate big scenes."

"Even if there is no cost to make a big scene, it will give the protagonist a very high intention, that is to save the world."

"Secondly, they like individual heroism, that is to say, a person single-handedly does something extremely difficult to save the world."

"Don't they know how absurd this matter is? They know it, but their countrymen like to watch it. If I want to comment, I hope Director Tang can add some ideas to it."

After Dong Yi finished speaking, he sat down on his own.

The entire private room could now hear a needle drop, and everyone was thinking about Dong Yi's words just now.

You know, in this era, many people don't have such a thorough understanding of movies, let alone foreign movies.

Even though Tang Jili has been abroad several times, he dare not say how deep he is in foreign movies.

But after listening to Dong Yi's words today, he seems to have a new understanding of that confusing foreign movie.

That's a lofty goal!

If he still chooses to be a couple, he will definitely encounter Waterloo again.

"Xiao Yi, do you think there is anything that needs to be changed in this plot now?"

Tang Jili asked with a trembling voice, after all, now he has not allowed himself to fail again.

Moreover, Chenglong couldn't fail again. If the plan to enter North America failed, the daily loss would be nearly ten million investment in vain.

This is a very dereliction of duty for a power director.

But now, being able to meet Dong Yi today, and hearing him say such words, he suddenly felt that he had a kind of enlightenment.

It's just that it's still a little hazy, and I don't know if this matter is right with what I imagined.

He decided to ask Dong Yi's opinion on this matter first.

Although the others did not speak, they could tell from their probing eyes.

They are obviously very interested in this matter now.

Especially when I heard that foreign audiences can also grasp a clear context.

Dong Yi coughed dryly, and then spoke.

"It's actually very simple. As long as the goal is set higher, for example, to save the world, save the country, and win the love of the people, it will attract a large number of fans."

Chapter 175 Personal Heroism

Cheng Long's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.

"How do you say this? Isn't it righteous to uphold social justice?"

Others also looked at Dong Yi curiously. After all, the concept Dong Yi mentioned is too general, if there is no definite formula.

It was difficult for others to understand what he was trying to say.

Dong Yi paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Actually, if you want to show this kind of righteousness in front of the camera, the protagonist must feel the pressure, and let the protagonist feel the pressure."

"The audience can actually see that at this time, we are throwing out a lofty goal, which is difficult to achieve in the eyes of ordinary people."

"But in the eyes of the protagonist, it's not impossible. As long as it makes sense logically, what the audience sees is actually a joy."

After Dong Yi finished speaking, the box fell into silence again.

Whether it was Cheng Long or Tang Jili, even Anita Mui and Ye Fanghua inevitably fell into deep thought.

In their previous vision, they believed that the elements that North America likes are those more American-style movies.

But after hearing what Dong Yi had to say, I realized that I seemed to have fallen into the misunderstanding of discarding everything.

Yes, movies with a more American style may indeed be more popular with audiences.

But when the audience is watching, they want to see the connotation of other cultures. If the outer skin of culture is peeled off, the core is still the core of culture in their own country.

They will definitely have a feeling of being deceived. Is it really necessary to replace the goal of Huaguo localization into the core of the movie as Dong Yi said?

Several people were contemplating, but Dong Yi didn't disturb them.

In fact, even if you don't have your own opinions, the Hongfan District can still become popular in North America, but it will definitely not be the number one box office champion of the year.

If they can change this point, the Hongfan District may have the possibility of aspiring to the annual championship.

It's just that now they have obviously entered the middle stage of filming, if they want to change the protagonist's goal.

Almost all small fine-tuning is done in the early stage, and the fine-tuning is likely to fall into the situation of infinite reshoots.

If this is the case, it is very likely that the filming will not be completed until the beginning of next year.

This decision was obviously not so easy to make.

At this time, the dishes ordered by everyone began to arrive on the table one after another, and Dong Yi also interrupted everyone's thinking.

"Everyone, stop thinking about it and eat quickly. You've all been busy all day."

As soon as Dong Yi's words fell, everyone came back to their senses like a dream.

It was true that they were all touched by Dong Yi's words just now, especially Cheng Long and Tang Jili.

They can say that they have been studying the North American market for several years, but until today, they heard that Dong Yi pierced the superficial camouflage sharply.

This surprised Tang Jili. After all, he had heard from Cheng Long that the other party had no habit of living in North America.

"Xiao Yi, why do you have such deep research on North America? Do you know many friends in North America?"

Facing Tang Jili's question, Dong Yi slightly shook his head and smiled.

"I don't know friends in North America. It's just that I have been studying North American movies since I was a child. I have watched almost all the movies that are slightly famous."

"Except for those romantic drama comedies, almost without exception, action movies have a big goal, and this is the common denominator of all North American movies."

"It is said that Chinese people have individual heroism, but in North America, their individual heroism is actually much more serious than ours."

Dong Yi's words made Tang Jili nod frequently. Before that, he had the illusion that he could not clearly grasp the context of the North American market.

Now after listening to his analysis, I have a very clear concept in my heart.

"Xiao Yi, thank you very much this time. Before, I thought I could be [-]% sure. Now that I have listened to your opinion, I am [-]% sure!"

"That [-]% is not because of your bad opinion, but because I am afraid that I am not doing well enough."

Dong Yi smiled and shook his head, and said.

"Director Tang, you are too humble. You are a well-known director in Huaguo."

Dong Yi's words made Tang Jili laugh out loud, and Cheng Long beside him couldn't help but patted Dong Yi's shoulder excitedly.

"You boy, I didn't see it. You still have time to study North America."

"Just a little understanding."

Afterwards, everyone began to officially enter the chat mode, and almost all movies from various eras were dug out and commented on by them.

And this meal, not only Dong Yi, but also Zheng Shuang and Gu Li Nazha felt that they had benefited a lot.

Of course, they are not as thorough as Dong Yi, and they have never even heard of the names of many movies.

Not to mention discussing the plot with everyone, so they are more often reduced to a spectator.

But they also feel very lucky to be a spectator among so many top actors.

Afterwards, amidst the cheers and laughter of everyone, the dinner party ended.

When returning to the hotel at night, Dong Yi noticed that the faces of the two girls were flushed.

This made him a little bit difficult for a while, and he taught them a lesson.

"Didn't I warn you a long time ago not to drink so much alcohol, why are you disobedient?"

Gu Li Nazha murmured, lying on Dong Yi's body, and said with a drunken eye.

"Aren't we happy? It's rare to get drunk a few times in life. Anyway, I feel very happy today."

Zheng Shuang, who was on the side, also began to chime in.

"Yes, yes, I am also very happy. I haven't felt this way for a long time. It's really great."

Seeing their staggering appearance, Dong Yi had no choice but to carry them to the room from one side to the other.

Along the way, no matter it was the waiter in the hotel or the smiling Cheng Long.
