Chapter 22: Too Much Deception (part 5 of 5)
For a moment, Shen Mengxi felt that the three of them were quite pitiful.
When the sixth generation was born, it really led the whole era!
Zhang Yuan's "Beijing Miscellaneous Middle School", "East Palace, West Palace";
Wang Xiaoshuai's "Extreme Cold", "Days of Winter and Spring", "17-year-old bicycle";
Lu Chuan, young and wild is undoubtedly his label, in 2004 with the movie "Ke Ke Xili" by the American magazine "Variety" selected as the world's top ten young directors.
These directors were all at the top of the trend back then!
The sixth generation was closer to the New Wave, indulging in the thrill of self-expression, albeit impartially borrowing the framework of realism.
Compared with the ancestors born under the old Chinese film education imprinted with the tradition of "film drama", they are more flamboyant and eclectic in film selection and creation, integrating the achievements of Western classic film theory and modern film theory, and achieving the re-integration of mainland films with the international in terms of narrative and image style after the left-wing film wave.
The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the little people in the city used to be the object of their focus on tracking and expressing, but after 05 years, many people gradually abandoned this theme.
Some of them turned to the blind worship of religion and mysticism, while others were trapped in the reminiscence and glorification of their childhood experiences.
They're embarrassing!
In their best era, the Chinese film market was very bad, and when the Chinese film market was getting better, their status in the rivers and lakes had not yet been established and was about to become obsolete.
The films of the future, whether in terms of presentation or technology platform, are not something that the sixth generation can operate and understand.
What's more, they still put up a shelf and put out the score, and regard the director as their personal art!
The sixth generation is a group of self-centered people who were once in the best position, but because of themselves, they refused to learn new knowledge and accept the rapid change of science and technology.
The sixth generation has the opportunity to see the world, but it has not developed the world view that filmmakers should have, and the knowledge, insight, cultural literacy, and narrow vision make people speechless...
Take Wang Xiaoshuai as an example, he thinks that the country is raising him!
Why raise him, what's the use?
"Dream Creek... What do you want to say?"
The host is Yin Hong, vice president of the China Film Association, the kind with deep qualifications in the rivers and lakes...
"There's nothing to say, it's just that the skills are not as good as people!" Shen Mengxi said: "The biggest enemy of domestic films is bad movies, and it is these bad movies that make the audience in theaters drop sharply! The impact of Hollywood blockbusters is only external, and what really makes domestic films lose their reputation is that there are too many bad movies." Even without Hollywood blockbusters, our results in the first half of the year would not have been much better!"
"I also do cinemas, what the audience likes to watch, the theater managers will arrange more screenings of what movies, which is a matter of course..."The Avengers" was released, sixty percent of the prime films of Golden Harvest Cinema were given to it, and "If Love Has Providence" only accounted for 20%..."
"The first half of this year is special, there are a lot of large-scale popcorn movies in Hollywood, and the audience hasn't seen much popcorn commercial films in theaters, all, even mediocre movies like "Super Battleship" and "Men in Black 3" can harvest the market... Wait another two years, and the audience should be aesthetically fatigued. ”
"Aesthetic fatigue?"
Shen Mengxi nodded: "Hollywood has an inherent set of script software, which can write movie scripts of about 110 to 140 pages, no more, no less, one page is just one minute, and the movie duration is controlled at about 110 to 140 points, which are the most popular commercial films, and even the appearance times of the male and female protagonists have been analyzed in detail, and the way to do this is to avoid global sensitive points - because it involves religion, censorship in various countries, etc., so their scripts are always very mentally retarded..."
"For example, a story must have at least several twists, which time period of the film should each turn occur, what proportion of fights and conflict scenes should be in the film, such as how many conflicts must be there, what are the ways in which new characters should appear, how long the time between the previous battle and the next fight should not exceed at most, and how long does an audience probably feel aesthetically tired of the rhythm of the film.
Then, with these patterned routines, add an appropriate amount of storyline and details and character dialogues between the fill-in-the-blank questions, and then think more about how to better attract the audience's attention in the climax. ”
"Industrial assembly line output..."
"I think a few more movies like "Super Battleship" and "Men in Black 3" will almost be eaten by the audience!"
"Domestic films... Now is the stage of big waves and sand, for a period of time last year, there were 5 production companies to shoot Guan Yunchang, 4 to shoot Sun Wukong, 3 to shoot Mu Guiying, and 3 White Snakes, 3 tables of Hongmen banquet, this year, the capital has ebbed, and the coal bosses can't afford to spend money... They recognize the cruelty of film investment!"
"Don't rush, take your time..."
......
Shen Mengxi still sprayed Lu Chuan: "I think some people should stop pretending to be known on Weibo, Hu Ge shared his testimonials about his work, why did it become a drama? I also think that the surname Long is a fool, should I also be banned? Why is it that scolding a government on Weibo is a person these days?"
Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Mengxi to mention this matter on such an occasion...
It was last month that Hu Ge finished reading "The Great River and the Sea 1949", published his feelings after reading it, and then was scolded by Lu Chuan...
And then a bunch of public intellectuals and their fans teamed up to scold Hugo...
Just what kind of 'drama', 'lackey'...
"Why don't you speak? If you don't say it, let me say a word: Since ancient times, literati have been good at feelings, so there are people who say it, but this kind of feeling is based on their own true feelings! Only with Li Min in their hearts can they write "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy." Only with strong and fierce ambitions can we write "The king and the king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice has not forgotten to tell Naiweng" Only by pursuing the avenue can we write "thinking of the world and the world, and being alone and weeping" A writer from Taiwan Province, went to the United States to study, married a German man, and had several mixed-race children. Then, she thought that she was superior, and she could look down on China and teach the Chinese people a lesson?
"Is there any argument for that broken book? Standing and talking is not a backache, history must be viewed in the light of the circumstances of the time, otherwise it is useless except incitement! What I said should be banned!"
Glancing at Lu Chuan again, the latter was still stunned, Shen Mengxi shook his head: "Forget it, I guess you don't dare to say anything! In addition, I heard Qin Hong say that he had invested 90 million, and it was originally scheduled that 60 million could be filmed, but you overturned the existing plan and redid it, and added another 30 million, which is not enough now... It is said that if you want to make up the filming, it is not a question of whether you can pass the review at all, but you overspending, causing the crew to stop filming!"
Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi smiled at the audience: "So, I said that the censorship system cannot be canceled, once it is canceled, these directors can't find anything to blame!"
......
Lu Chuan... Crying...
Shen Mengxi pointed at his nose and scolded him!
It's too much of a deception!
This forum was attended by the media...
It's over, the ironclad report is out!
But Shen Mengxi can guarantee that everything he says is true.
Even in 2020, Mr. Lu made a lot of heart-wrenching remarks, such as 'sending planes to bring back young students stranded overseas, which is what the government should do now.'" Even if there are no conditions, there should be policies to encourage domestic airlines to increase flights to pick up children!'
Looks right, because it's politically correct!
But with 4 million international students around the world, how big of a project is this?
That's where intellectuals are annoying, only making demands, because the demands are certainly not wrong and sound pleasant.
The request made them earn enough fame and fame, and when the people heard his request, they were so excited that he had done it, or that he had done it. And whether this "requirement" is logical and in line with objective laws, how much cost is needed and how much resources are dispatched is not within the scope of consideration of those intellectuals!
It's good at hiding in a kennel and kidnapping people morally!
As for his overspending, he is well known in the industry.
In 05, revisiting modern history, discovering data and new historical materials, under the temptation of the other side of history, he was inspired, pre-prepared the theme of the Nanjing Massacre, wrote a script, and went to Changchun to see the scenery and build a group.
During the filming of the movie "Nanjing, Nanjing!", at several nodes, the funds were hollowed out and the flow was cut off, and the props in the crew, a street lamp, and a chair could be reported as false accounts, and the budget was sky-high!
Regardless of the finesse of project management, the construction scene is turned into a process of fieldwork.
The leading actor is replaced, the filming is overdue, the release is delayed, and a script is carried out for three years...
The filming investment of "Nanjing, Nanjing!", plus publicity, can reach 90 million!
That's why Yu Dong sighed, 'Chinese film directors are the most enjoyable directors in the world!'
What happened to "The King's Feast"?
His girlfriend has more than 6 million, what else can he do?
