Chapter Eighty-Four: Thoughts on Movies

Disappointed.
This is how Zhang Bufan felt after watching the first half of these movies in this year's Lunar New Year.
Zhang Bufan will not use this kind of word when evaluating a movie, even if he encounters a bad movie, it will be rotten, which is normal, even if Hollywood does not produce countless bad movies every year? As long as there are still movies of good quality, or the vast majority of movies remain above the standard, Zhang Bufan will be very satisfied, and he will never be affected by those one or two bad movies.
So, when he was disappointed, it must have been a bunch of movies that had gone wrong.
Just like last year's Chinese New Year, he watched all of them once, and there were no shortage of bad movies, but after watching them all, his evaluation was still quite good, and even according to his scoring standards, he could score about 7 points overall.
However, this year's situation is different, except for one "October Siege", others, such as "Mulan" performed by Xiaoyanzi and Chang Hua, and "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" by the national teacher, etc., there is no one that makes him feel good anymore.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, both Xiaoyanzi and Changhua in "Mulan" are acting very seriously, and they can be regarded as dedicating quite good acting skills, but in a movie, you can never just look at the performance of the actors, from the script, to the director, to the service and other aspects, if these are not up to standard, then the actors' acting skills are useless.
Suddenly, Zhang Bufan had an urge to talk to someone, this impulse appeared for the second time after he stepped into this circle, the previous time, it was when he walked on stage and received the Golden Horse Award trophy, at that time he said that making movies is really an interesting thing, but this time he felt that movies disappointed him.
took out his I8910 and dialed the phone one by one, and as a result, Guan Hu's few were not available, and the last person to answer his phone was Ning Hao.
On that time, Zhang Bufan exchanged phones with each other when he went to the studio to give the script, but he didn't contact him once, at most it was just a nodding acquaintance, and Zhang Bufan didn't think about contacting him, it was just a mistake......
For Zhang Bufan, Ning Hao admires it very much, the reason is very simple, Zhang Bufan's performance last time made him feel that this little brother who was a few years younger than him was the same person as him, and belonged to the kind of person who could go crazy for the movie.
"Hey, Zhang'er, what's the matter with me?" Ning Hao asked, tossing until now, and knowing that "No Man's Land" would definitely be out of theater when it was released, his mood was a lot calmer, and his tone of voice was relaxed.
Zhang Bufan was stunned, yes, why am I calling you? But I can't tell people that I'm embarrassed to make a mistake, I'm not looking for you, right?
After thinking about it, Zhang Bufan still spoke, "Ning ...... Brother Ning, have you seen these movies for this year's Chinese New Year?"
Ning Hao was stunned, he didn't understand what Zhang Bufan meant by asking him this, but he still replied: "I just watched "October Siege", and I am very interested in his story." ”
Zhang Bufan asked again, "Then what do you think, how does your "No Man's Land" compare with "October Siege"?"
"Hey......" Ning Haole said, "You let me compare my movie with others, do you think I should be more confident or humble?"
"Uh......" Zhang Bufan choked.
Fortunately, Ning Hao didn't prepare him to answer, and then said: "If you want me to think about it, my movie is not necessarily better than "October Siege", but it will definitely not be worse than it. Hey, what are you asking for?"
"Isn't it like I have nothing to do these days, so I went to watch all the movies that have been released during the Chinese New Year, and then I was a little weird......" Zhang Bufan said: "Isn't it all rumored now, the Sino-Mi film agreement is going to be re-signed, I always feel that if the boundaries are really relaxed, although it is not a good thing for our Chinese films, but under the huge pressure, it should always be able to inspire some upward psychology, right? But why are the movies we make getting worse and worse? Not only on our mainland, but also on the Xiangjiang side. ”
"Hey, that's it?" Ning Hao was very calm, and said with a smile: "Isn't this normal? You saw that foreign movies are coming in on a large scale, but haven't you noticed that the box office growth in our country in recent years has also become very exaggerated?"
"The entry of those foreign films, especially Hollywood blockbusters, not only put pressure on our local films, but also accelerated the development of our country's box office potential. ”
"Take my "Racing" as an example, if it was released two years earlier, I think it would be almost impossible to exceed 100 million, and I would be very happy to have 80 million, but, on the other hand, if it is two years late, this year, I am confident that it will be over 300 million. ”
"So, the pressure is great, but who is the pressure? It's us who not only want to make money, but also want to push our country's film industry up again, but for those who purely regard movies as a money-making tool, there is no pressure at all, on the contrary, this is their best era. ”
I just want to stand up and make money! Zhang Bufan suddenly thought of such a line.
After being silent for a while, he said: "Does that mean that in the next few years, this kind of bad movies will not only not decrease, but will increase?"
"That's right. Ning Hao replied in the affirmative, and at the same time subconsciously clenched his fists, his words were light and light, but can the mood be the same? Of course it can't be, especially when he watched so many bad movies that were rotten to the mud and wantonly make money in the theaters, and "No Man's Land", which he had exhausted his efforts to carefully produce, was banned from being released, that kind of unwillingness became more and more intense.
"There is a way. Ning Hao replied: "I can only hope that there will be more people like us in China to make more good movies, and in addition, we can only hope that those audiences, when they are disgusted enough by bad movies, they begin to boycott spontaneously, and then those guys who only want to collect money find that they can't make money, of course, they won't invest money to make those bad movies." ”
Then, he asked Zhang Bufan in turn, "Hey, why did you think of this? It's because you're disgusted by those bad movies?"
Zhang Bufan tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and said: " To be honest, if I saw these a few years ago, I would have scolded a few words in my heart at most, but I would never think about it so much, maybe it really has something to do with me stepping into this circle, I have experienced it myself, I understand that it is not easy, and then I go back to watch these movies, it is difficult to watch them purely by my own preferences, I began to analyze, to think, not only to think about the movie itself, but also to think about the industry, I know that with my current qualifications and status, it is a bit too big and too arrogant to say this, but ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ning Hao over there suddenly laughed, "I especially know why you, Bo'er, and Zhengzi can get together." Why do you think I run my own studio, and why do they invest in their own films? Don't you just want to have more say in the matter, and use this to promote and make our country's films better?"
In the end, Ning Hao said leisurely: "Zhang'er, in the future, you will be my brother!"
