Chapter 636 Return to Hometown

In the Chinese film and television industry, there is a very bad phenomenon. Once someone becomes popular in making a certain type of movie, driven by interests, many capital spokespersons will rush to move towards this type of movie, striving to take advantage of the popularity and make money by making one.

Therefore, once a certain kind of drama becomes popular, the following dramas will be filled with the mountains and fields, such as the martial arts TV series shot by Guo Dalu becomes popular. Now, almost all costume dramas in the entire China region have martial arts scenes.

"Shaolin Temple" that Guo Dalu had previously filmed has become popular. Recently, some people have started filming movies such as "Wudang Mountain", "Kongtong Sect", and "Huashan Divine Sword", and they all want to get a share of the popularity in action movies.

However, the action movies made by these people did not even have a real martial arts actor, and they were all selected from the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Masters. No matter how hard these people's fights can't learn the fighting style in "Shaolin Temple", they still have the shadow of the slow fighting of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master stage team in the past, which looked extremely unsmooth. Therefore, after these action movies were broadcast, there was almost no market response and they barely made some money, but they were completely inconsistent with the expected box office.

Because in the film and television industry, the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts and the martial arts group collectively banned Guo Dalu, which led to the reverse ban of the old Dragon and Tiger team in anger. Now, the new fighting style electric action movies that can only be guided by the people of the Guo family squad, and other martial arts teams cannot adapt to this fighting design until now.

Even though they watched the martial arts movements designed by Guo Dalu many times, they still couldn't make the movements they designed like Guo Dalu.

How could these people know that the people who filmed Guo Dalu's action movies are all real martial arts masters. Some martial arts moves are not designed by Guo Dalu at all. They can handle them by themselves.

This is the current situation of action movies.

Later, after Guo Dalu achieved great success in filming the romantic film "Roman Holiday", many "holiday" romance films emerged overnight on the land of China, such as "Motion and Static Holiday", "New York Holiday", "Morning City Holiday", "Vienna Day", "New York Night", etc., which made a good film market extremely chaotic.

Not to mention, these movies have achieved a lot of box office, at least these directors have earned less money from previous movies.

So they also made love movies badly, at least recently, love movies have been played badly by guys in the domestic film industry, and it can even be said to be badly bad.

After arriving at Guo Dalu's "Terminator", this was even more amazing. The science fiction movie that no one has touched for many years was actually made like this by Guo Dalu. Some directors believe that the time for Chinese science fiction movies to turn around has come, so they started looking for scripts and attract investment, hoping to follow Guo Dalu's science fiction trend.

Capital is like a flies that smell the stinky, and it really invests in these science fiction movies.

As we all know, science fiction movies should be the type of movie with the highest cost of shooting. If you want to make a good science fiction movie with more special effects, don’t even think about it if you don’t have a 100 million or 200 million.

But these investors are worried that investment will be wasted. Although they make investments, they dare not invest too much money. At most, they only invest millions, but not tens of millions. If they encounter a good science fiction movie script and don’t need too many special effects, it’s not a bad idea to make a science fiction movie for millions.

However, Chinese people often focus on making special effects, and it seems that they can’t make movies without special effects. They seem to have forgotten one thing: special effects serve stories, and the audience mainly watch stories when watching science fiction stories, not special effects.

In this way, the director's focus on shooting science fiction movies was wrong. Coupled with the rough story and the stinginess of the investors, the works produced in the end became strange movies with rough stories and even rougher specials.

Such movies have great flaws in terms of logical consistency and narrative nature of the story. The audiences today are not fools. Good movies and bad movies can still be separated. If the movies are made like this, it is almost impossible to make money.

Among all the movies that follow the trend, science fiction movies lose the most badly, and they get the most criticism.

Some directors said so sadly: "Huaxia is not a country that shoots science fiction movies. Guo Dalu was just lucky to be able to shoot a terminator. If he was asked to shoot a science fiction movie again, he would definitely not be able to shoot good things!"

Regarding this, netizens laughed at them for not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour, but many people who engage in science fiction believe it. They do not think that Guo Dalu can still shoot science fiction films that can compare to Terminator.

Especially after several directors who made science fiction films were ridiculed abroad with their works, they firmly believed that China was not the soil for science fiction films.

It is because of this that Ma Chengcai looked contemptuous to the domestic science fiction director in front of Guo Dalu, "These people don't do it themselves, but they think others can't do it. The key is that they even put you on the list of bad things, which is really embarrassing!"

Guo Dalu laughed, "Why are you angry with these people? These guys are just puppets of capital. If they were shooting science fiction films seriously before me, I would respect them even if they were bad. After all, in the market at that time, they really loved science fiction films. But the guys who said I was not good were all those who took a hasty shot and took advantage of the popularity shortly after my "Terminator". Not to mention that they did not shoot well, even if they were very good, they were not worthy of respect."

There are many things to prepare in advance when filming the film "Resident Evil", whether it is the set, the actors, or the setting and production of props. All of these require time.

Although the new film and television city has been built, the props, background and other things for "Resident Evil" have not been perfected.

Needless to mention the script of this movie, it must have been done by Guo Dalu himself. Even the actor's styling, prop design, and scene arrangement were all done by Guo Dalu alone.

After all the scenes were arranged in the film and television city, Guo Dalu summoned the crew members who had been prepared long ago and his junior sisters to rush to his hometown Baolan City.

This time, because he was back to his hometown, Wang Xiaolu also took the child with her. You should know that Guo Kaishan and his wife are making chili sauce in Baolan City.

Originally, when Guo Dalu and others were going to the film and television city, Ma Cheng asked Guo Dalu whether to advertise in advance, but was rejected by Guo Dalu, "Don't hype anything about me in the future. If it is not necessary, I will not appear in public during the period of filming the movie."

When the crew arrived in Baolan City and settled the crew, Guo Dalu and his wife went straight to their hometown Shilipu.
