Chapter 330 (1/2)
Feng Nan's first reaction was the same as that of Chen Jiao, Tao Cen's agent: we must not let this matter leak out, so that Jiangse and chezaley can get on the line, and let her fame rise again and again in China. We should suppress her.
In terms of dining etiquette, Cesare keeps an impeccable good habit. He is not very proficient in the handling of Chinese chopsticks, and occasionally needs to use knives and forks:
”from the perspective of many people, the sales volume of Matthew's novel is not good, and today, the number of reprints is not too many.”
He forked a piece of meat. ”I wanted to put it on the screen for more people to see, but now the plan has been shelved.”
”It's not that she's not good enough, it's just that you like it so much that you're more careful.” Ganser answers chezaley's question and makes him laugh:
”that's just one of the reasons.”
His eyes sparkled with pleasure, he put his knife and fork, and raised his hand:
”but I like your saying that, which makes me feel comfortable.”
”In fact, the real reason is not only that she deserves my caution, but also the investment.”
Cesare sighed, and his smile faded.
Jansser frowned. Cesare is still young, less than 40 years old, but he is already a young director who has won great recognition in the film industry. He is well-known internationally. As long as he puts forward his ideas, there should be many people willing to invest.
She has recited chezaley's information and knows some of his achievements. Many famous Hollywood movie stars should be willing to cooperate with him.
But at this time, Cesare is saying that he did not shoot his favorite ”prisoner” because of the investment.
Jiangser is very keen to respond that it should not only be general investment, but also chezaley has certain requirements for these investments.
As for this requirement, jansser speculates that from the importance and love of chezaley for the novel the prisoner, he should hope that he can get more authority as the basis for shooting.
Jansser has not been in touch with the foreign film industry, but probably has some understanding. The role of the studio director is to give art depth to the story.
However, with the intervention of investors and producers, if the director is not strong enough, it is very likely that the final direction of the story will deviate from the director's imagination and focus on the taste of the market audience.
Today, the Hollywood film industry has developed and matured. A large number of investors can invest in many films at the same time. The loss of one film can recover the loss of other films. In this case, commercial blockbusters are frequently produced, but there are not many films with real depth.
Since Cesare likes the prisoner, he naturally does not want it to become a commercial film. However, if he wants to follow the original work and make the original prisoner without a large number of fans, how can the producers invest in it?
This is probably the real reason why ”the prisoner” has not been filmed so far.
As Cesare said, it's not because the film is not good enough, it's not because he's not famous enough, not only because he likes it, but because his ideas are likely to conflict with the market.
It is a very difficult task to make an imaginary movie that the audience likes and he is satisfied with.
”It's not a simple thing.”
Janser wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. Cesare is young and rich, but it is obviously unrealistic to invest in a film alone.
Especially for works with magic color like ”the prisoner”, the employment of actors, the post production team and special effects production, all kinds of money are money. Jansser thought about it and put forward a suggestion:
