Making commercial films. Make art films. Which is more difficult?

Of course, this is a commercial film. Those who say this is an art film, I believe ordinary people who have never made a film will take it for granted.

The reason is simple: art film creators don't have to follow rules and regulations, and basically shoot according to their own ideas, regardless of whether you are professional or not, so this is one of the reasons why most art films are independent productions. Because no investor will invest you to shoot anything you want unless you are a successful filmmaker.

The shooting of commercial films should meet the public's taste, which requires considerable effort to study the audience's psychology. Editing and plot should be in line with the audience's preferences. Secondly, the producer will basically control the production, and the director does not have much freedom, but is just a tool for exercise. Thirdly, big scenes need to spend more money, time and manpower. Generally speaking, the shooting difficulty of commercial films is incomparable to that of art films.

But in terms of its value, commercial films are the main force of the film industry, because most art films face a small audience and can't make money. They are more like a work of art, attracting only a few people to watch.
