As a director, Jing M.Guo, can Tiny Times represent his directing ability?

Jing M.Guo and Tiny Times: The rules and regulations of the director center are necessary.

There are all kinds of amethyst cups neatly placed on the coffee table in the reception room of Jing M.Guo, and there are VOSS and Paris water in the wooden cabinet behind. People who have seen movies come here,

I'm sure I'll think of Gong Ming's hobby, that cold mysterious figure drinks different water from different cups. In daily life, Jing M.Guo is such a person.

Jing M.Guo's Qingming Festival is the creator of a small era. He created every character and projected his heart into it. All the joys, sorrows, actions and lies of such characters depend on the master of the creator. But in the film industry, director Jing M.Guo is still fighting for great dominance for himself. In his industry, the authority of the creator is sacred and inviolable.

Tiny Times is very special, and because of this, director Jing M.Guo became the key to this film. He should take care of those who should work and those who shouldn't. According to him, everyone agrees with the "director-centered system" in the small era.

Dealing with the authority of filmmakers is likely to threaten movies. Xiaosi laughed it off. "They are afraid."

In the face of possible huge rights and interests, all investors obey Jing M. Guo. As a director, he can decide which investors to cooperate with, what techniques to use to make movies, and when to publicize and plan raw materials.

His reason is simple. "This is my novel, and I know exactly what my readers want."

However, the new director is not complacent in front of his rights. He only had 47 million days to shoot, so he had to work under the pressure of two films. Jing M.Guo is versatile. He completed the filming of Tiny Times 1&: 2 ".

He will cut the film in order to win more than three rows, and he will give up other plots in order to better achieve the actual effect of a camera lens. It uses the judgment and execution ability of managers to complete a task that is not easy to complete in daily life.

I asked him which movies he liked, and his answer was very general. "Both commercial services and plastic arts are acceptable, such as those in Christopher Nolan."

This response is boring, but it is not easy to complete.

Shooting a childhood is forced. "No one can grasp the essence of this collection of novels except me."

Sohu Entertainment: Tiny Times is your first movie. Which do you care more about, winning the prize or the box office?

Jing M.Guo: I don't care much about winning the prize. I care more about the box office. I'm making movies for the audience, not winning prizes. After all, I'm not a technical director, and I don't expect any honor awards.

In the whole process, I have a harmonious relationship with the film crew, and I very much hope that everyone's diligence can be seen by the audience, so that the film can have a good result.

Sohu Entertainment: What is the purpose of filming, in order to better enhance their dominance and popularity?

Jing M.Guo: I may already be famous among writers, and filming is not my main demand. I really like Tiny Times. I hope the film can meet the taste of the novel collection, and I really want to make this film myself.

This is a long-standing dream of mine, and I hope it can also make readers feel something after reading the novel collection.

Sohu Entertainment: Since you know Tiny Times best, why didn't you gradually decide to be a director?

Jing M. Guo: 20 10, the copyright of the novel collection was sold to Li Jie of China Film International Studios, and he suggested that I be a director. At that time, I was writing Tiny Times 3.0, and it was impossible for both to have vitality.

They asked a lot of directors to talk to me one by one, but everyone couldn't catch the taste of the movie.

Until last summer, the film rewriting copyright was about to expire, and they were also very anxious. Looking for Chai Zhiping as the chief producer, she has also found many new directors in Taiwan Province province, China, but the directors in Taiwan Province province, China pay more attention to prohibiting the design style of domestic novels.

At present, Ann An, a domestic producer, heard that I studied film and television as a director before, so he proposed to be a director himself. By that time, the collection of novels had been completed, and I had detailed short stories.

Moreover, the TV series Tiny Times has been finished, and it has been greatly revised, which has nothing to do with the original novel. For various reasons, I feel I must work hard to be a director. Even if it doesn't work, I will destroy it myself.

Sohu Entertainment: So many people can't grasp the essence of the novel collection. What is the difference?

Jing M. Guo: First of all, it is a very sexual novel, which is different from short stories in terms of language expression. In China's history of China literature, there appeared for the first time young writers who deliberately described and discussed the current chemical substances and daily life.

Naturally, many little-known writers have seen similar works, but great writers have hardly touched on such subjects. Shanghai writers have only written some contemporary works such as Yi Shu and Wang Anyi, but now no one cares about Shanghai.

Sohu Entertainment: What impression do you expect the audience to leave after watching the movie?

Jing M.Guo: Dream of youth, pursue dreams, long live friendship, and cherish the people in front of you.

Sohu Entertainment: Paying attention to material conditions is popular in the current social development?

Jing M.Guo: I think this is a huge difference in our daily life. Our fathers didn't have chemicals, but they just survived, ate the same food, kept the same hair and cut their trouser legs to the same length, so they wouldn't discuss it like that, and there would be no doubt about chemicals for them.

Nowadays, with the development of social economy, most young people are not easy to meet the challenge of survival limit, especially those in big cities.

In the case of such a rich and colorful chemical substance, everyone may have a lot of doubts, struggles, anxiety and hatred about social development in their hearts. Even if the chemicals are so good, why is there such a mentality? This is a crucial issue that my novel focuses on.

Some people surrender to chemicals and become slaves of chemicals; Some people swear to resist chemicals, even if it is very unsuccessful, it is the bottom of social development; Some people approach chemicals step by step, control chemicals and let them serve my project.

Everyone's attitude towards real identity, famous brand and influence is different.

This kind of young people really don't know how to pretend to understand when they graduate and step into the society and work in multinational companies and fashion weekly. But in the first episode of Tiny Times, I still solved the short story squarely and adjusted the main theme of the short story to Happy Dream 2, which is my understanding of youth. Some people think that youth is cruel, but I think there are more good aspects than bad ones.

But at that age, everyone can feel strong resentment and hatred, not as numb as adults. That's why I made the main theme of the first movie so proactive.

Sohu Entertainment: Your works have always been regarded as inspiring the pursuit of perfect chemicals.

Jing M.Guo: I can't escape the pursuit of perfect chemicals. I can't make a movie. Everyone will pursue the perfect chemicals. That's what parents tell their children. Even if I can't make a movie, everyone will pursue perfect and stronger chemicals and life.

You tell them to work hard for their dreams, realize their ideals and stand on a higher stage of performance. Is very positive energy.

Sohu Entertainment: The values you clearly put forward have always been appropriate.

Jing M.Guo: My "three views" are super correct.

Sohu Entertainment: Because consciousness and the development of this society have reached a new consensus, you have achieved success?

Jing M.Guo: I think that's also the reason.

Sohu Entertainment: Are there any other reasons?

Jing M.Guo: For example, my own diligence and hard work, my input in the field of work and the assistance of people around me cover all great times and situations, so I can create heroes in this period. It is not because of my "three views" that I can succeed. Many people in the world share my "three views".

The director is the key to anyone in this play.

"In the face of contradictions, filmmakers dare not crush me."

Sohu Entertainment: For the marketing promotion of this film, many professionals have clearly put forward their own opinions. Which aspect do you think is the most important?

Jing M. Guo: There is a very unified key to this film, that is, everyone agrees with the "director-centered system". In fact, many films are director-centered, but they are not strengthened to that extent.

From the integration of resources in the early stage, to the shooting in the middle and late stage, and then to the promotion and marketing of films in the later stage, other directors are not so involved. I have been writing this collection of novels for five years, so that you can gradually feel that I was working outside five years ago.

There are ten investors, which is actually who I let in (who goes in). For example, I think we can let Long Danni in. Because Tianyu and Hunan Satellite TV have tens of millions of communication resources, which can be used as the standard of equity premium, his well-known brand audience meets everyone.

I am still in control of all the floor plan materials promoted in the middle and late stages of the film, still choosing the connection point of marketing promotion for the preview and behind-the-scenes tidbits, and taking on an exciting point every once in a while.

Including choosing the theme songs sung by Sodagreen, I use them to tap the sales market of young artists. They don't pursue perfection and commercial service. If we must balance these parts, Sodagreen is actually the best choice.

All new projects must have a person who knows everything. I can do literary and artistic creation, and I can also do equity financing for commercial services. I can publicize, plan, market and promote myself, and accurately locate the audience. Coupled with the popularity of Sina Weibo, I can step on every step accurately.

In the case of filming, people will gradually release stills. The first is the definition of throwing two famous actors' twin flowers. This idea is what I think. Every connection point is the joy of fans. I hope the next information content.

In the middle and late period, every round of posters, drama drawings and raw materials was published ... This accurate and reasonable layout lasted for a whole year.

Sohu Entertainment: Not every director is like you.

Jing M.Guo: I'm more like a businessman. I can think independently from the perspective of film promotion in the middle and late stages than other directors.

Sohu Entertainment: Then why don't you put the title of film producer on the poster?

Jing M.Guo: Well, then help him.

Sohu Entertainment: But many things you undertake are arranged by filmmakers, and in the more perfect management system of Hollywood in the United States, filmmakers have higher rights.

Jing M.Guo: So they all want me to be a film producer.

Sohu Entertainment: Why not hang up?

Jing M. Guo: Because I want to keep some simple things, Jing M. Guo's things, which can be done in private, but I don't want the masses to think. What happened to this director? Since filmmakers and directors are born opposites, one needs cost performance and the other needs to pay.

I can give extra help, but when this title is put on my head, my opinion is not firm. For example, whether this advertisement should be directed or not, I am going crazy myself.

Sohu Entertainment: If there is a real contradiction, involving contracts and policies and regulations, can you worry that they will use the real identity of the film producer to pressure you?

Jing M.Guo: They are afraid.

Their purpose is to make money, and I also told them that they can help everyone make a lot of money, and no one can be against money. For example, if you give me a well-known brand with a million dollars, I will also tell you the evaluation that is likely to hurt users. The million-dollar box office can be consumed at once. Which one do you want?

So if you watch the detailed film, it is not easy to find that there are very uncomfortable advertisements implanted. Although there is a large version of the well-known brand LOGO on the credits list, it is not easy for the audience to have a clear psychological state of exclusion.

Sohu Entertainment: But the camera lens of Milk is quite entertaining.

Jing M.Guo: Because it was endorsed by Yang Mi, there was nothing anyone could do.

47 million, post-70 s, several jobs, two movies, two dramas.

"Affirm the shortcomings of the key point of zero tolerance"

Sohu Entertainment: Look at the tidbits. Your orders to famous actors are simple and direct, and you look confident. Does this have much to do with your understanding of the collection of novels?

Jing M.Guo: I'm quite sure about the temperament, words and deeds of each character in the short story, even including what Taiwan Province didn't have in this book. I can inform famous actors and help them get into the role.

Because of my mastery, they will give themselves to me with peace of mind.

I watched many movie tidbits and documentaries before shooting, and observed the expression and communication of the director at the shooting scene. Some directors will give demonstrations to famous actors, while others just stay behind the monitor and make gestures.

Everyone's filming time is very short, and it is stipulated that bullets should be loaded as soon as they start. If something goes wrong and the shooting scene gets out of control, it will be quite scary.

Sohu Entertainment: The filming time of this film is very short. Two episodes only take 70 days, and a movie takes an average of five weeks. For many relatively simple low-budget movies, this is a huge challenge. How do you ensure high efficiency?

Jing M. Guo: We put a lot of energy into the preparation step by step, especially shooting some wide-angle shots, so we need to choose every angle of view, the position of the camera and the rehearsal of famous actors in advance.

There is also a scene of overpass congestion. Government departments have many restrictions and time is too tight, only one day. So, everyone got on the bridge at one o'clock in the morning, set up the equipment, lit the lights, made the snow, set up the vehicles, and put up the animation special effects signs ... We also drew the story board in advance and shot the lens in strict accordance with the script, so we made enough preparations in advance and got up as planned.

Sohu Entertainment: Does the overpass usually have cars passing by, or is it half built?

Jing M.Guo: Half can walk and half can't. The front of the bridge is blocked, so be sure to use angle and animation special effects to avoid crossing the picture.

Sohu Entertainment: Is it easy to get the approval for shooting?

Jing M.Guo: Not easy, not easy.

Sohu Entertainment: Who won for everyone?

Jing M.Guo: Producers have to compete with them themselves. This scene is very important and makes people cry. The theme style of the film is flying towards the ideal, so we must do our best to fight for it. And if this paragraph only produces running in the street, there will be no such feeling, and running on it must be the most charming.

Sohu Entertainment: Are all these vehicles driven up one by one?

Jing M.Guo: Yes.

Sohu Entertainment: Are they all real cars that can be driven?

Jing M.Guo: All of them. Every car has a driver. Because you never know how the camera lens will sweep, in case a car cab is empty, the audience will enter the show. ...

Sohu Entertainment: There is no doubt that you can't tolerate this.

Jing M.Guo: Undoubtedly, this is something I can't tolerate. So this kind of driver has been sitting until everyone gets off work from 4 am.

Sohu Entertainment: With so many cars, it is not easy to transfer ownership at one time.

Jing M.Guo: It's all made by the producers. Some of them rent cars and drive by car, and some are professional game props of the film crew. Because the cars on the road can't all be the same, they must be all kinds of cars, and the license plates can't all be from Shanghai, but from Jiangxi and Sichuan ... It looks real.

Although the license plate number may not be photographed, all the key points on the big screen are very clear. If you get it, it will decompose.

Everyone makes plans in advance, including the proportion of different models, including which car to take the middle camera lens from. Everyone has a good idea. We also bought many toy cars in advance and left with miniature camera lenses. We saw the actual effect, so in the case of actually shooting video, we have a bottom in our hearts.

Sohu Entertainment: Did you think of these key points, or did the elite team help you consider them?

Jing M.Guo: Let's report our work together. They will ask me what I think first, and then discuss it. Some camera lenses cannot be put into use. It is best to shoot the overpass by helicopter, but it is too late for everyone to apply for opening the airspace to the outside world, so they have to use telescopic guns instead, but that will limit the production scheduling of camera lenses and there is not so much air.

Sohu Entertainment: The wide-angle lens before the fashion show in the film is impressive. Do you want to be cool or show your own directing methods?

Jing M. Guo: There are four floors over there, and each floor meets a girl. Finally, the four sisters got together and rushed in together. I think it has practical significance, which shows that she and she are moving towards their ideals all the way.

Because I discussed with the cameraman that the connection points in the middle of the camera lens can be connected with animation special effects, which can at least reduce the number. Whether some viewing angle devices can come in or not needs to be considered. And there are classic lines along the way, which is quite a headache.

Moreover, everyone has only seven days to apply, and time is very urgent. For everyone, the mental pressure is very great.

Sohu Entertainment: Have you ever seen a similar design scheme before? I think it's very fun and should try it.

Jing M.Guo (Jing M. Guo): Of course, every director likes to challenge the wide-angle lens and the unlikely parts of the lens. You think it's all desire and coolness, which is also the photographer's favorite. They are also very excited.

In fact, it is ok to chat with two people on the front and back, but if you are so insincere, others will really think that you are playing with tickets.

Sina Entertainment: Will the producers and producers dissuade you from canceling this idea?

Jing M.Guo: We must discourage it! But I think these things are very interesting, and after reading them, I think the effect is better than expected. In our later period in Taipei, Mr. Du, who voiced Wong Kar-wai and Ang Lee, also said, "Children have ideas."

Sina Entertainment: You really want to shoot, but the producer told you that it would cost a lot of money and suggested you give up. What should I do?

Jing M.Guo: I will make a balance, save money in other ways, and then make sure I get what I want. If I can sacrifice, I will definitely choose to sacrifice. For example, I will give up filming some sideline scenes, integrate into other plots, and use the money where it is needed.

Sina Entertainment: This temporary response is quite a test of the director's decision-making ability.

Jing M.Guo: I'm fine, because I have been running the company for many years. As a boss, I will also give a lot of instructions, but it is not such a big challenge.

Sina Entertainment: Can the resources given now satisfy you?

Jing M.Guo: Actually, it's very strict. The two films cost a total of 47 million yuan, which means that I only spent 23 million yuan on the first film, and the budget is very tight. This is a very low-cost movie.

Sina Entertainment: Is splitting into two sets an idea from the beginning?

Jing M.Guo: Of course, from the beginning, we were two complete and independent scripts. Unlike Taiji, which is a story cut off in the middle, it is a complete and closed structure.

Sina Entertainment: The first story is not so cruel.

Jing M.Guo: There is still a gradual process. We plan to shoot four films. If the first two films are successful, we will continue shooting. It's boring if all four flavors are the same. So be fresh, even in the shooting method, you won't feel that the second part is the same series.

By the third episode, there will be a greater breakthrough in photography style and narrative style. Others think I'm ambitious. I really have a lot of ideas on the road of directing, not just to make money.

No matter whether the audience says it is good or not after watching Tiny Times, there is no denying that this film must be very novel and different. As long as everyone realizes this, I will be very happy. Movies are not afraid of good or bad, but most afraid of sameness.

Sina Entertainment: If the film succeeds in making a sequel, will it be afraid that the actors will get a high salary?

Jing M.Guo: Not bad. I talked to them, and they all thought it was ok, because they really liked this work. Because everyone knows that no actor makes money by acting in movies, he must rely on commercial endorsements and TV dramas. The movie is a dream, and only when he has this movie dream in his heart will he be willing to pay.
