"I knew that my mother was right, I would definitely be able to do a big thing!" In a restaurant near the Chinese opera, Jiang Wen, whose face was flushed, said excitedly.

Looking at this guy's expression, you can know that he must have been drinking.

"Well, my mother. After picking up a mouthful of food and swallowing it, Zhao Fusheng smashed his mouth and said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Ye Jing and the others next to him looked dazed, not knowing what he was talking about.

Obviously, Jiang's mother is cheating on Lao Jiang, so mad that she even cheats her son, and only her own mother can do it. Zhao Fusheng blinked his eyes and pointed at himself: "My mother said when I was a child that I looked like Liu Dehua." ”

Burst!

Everyone couldn't hold back, and laughed one by one with strange expressions.

As far as Zhao Fusheng is concerned, although it is not ugly, compared with Liu Tianwang, there is no common point at all.

"Hey, hey, what's that look on your face. Zhao Fusheng saw that everyone's reaction was so huge, and said helplessly: "Are you jealous of me?"

"Hehe......"

"Well, we're jealous of you, jealous of your shamelessness. ”

The people here are all acquaintances, either independent filmmakers such as Wang Xiaoshuai and Lou Ye, or friends in the circle like Ye Jing and Yu Feihong, so they are naturally not so restrained, and they are quite relaxed when they talk.

Regarding Zhao Fusheng's shameless remarks, of course, he refuted them unceremoniously.

Zhao Fusheng pursed his lips and simply ignored them.

Although Liu Tianwang's acting skills are average, purely relying on handsomeness, Zhao Fusheng feels that compared with him, he is actually only about a little bit worse.

Well, a little bit means an ellipsis......

………………

………………

When everyone is young, they are asked what they want to do when they grow up.

"I want to be a pilot. ”

"I want to be a scientist. ”

"I want to be a soldier. ”

In that ignorant time, we used to be high-spirited, once fearless, and once thought that we were the king of the world, but as time went by, we slowly realized that we couldn't actually do anything.

If you want to be a pilot, you may drive a taxi. If you want to be a scientist, maybe move bricks at the construction site. Those who want to be soldiers may become sanitation workers.

Life is always like this, you often can't get what you want.

That's how most people live.

For example, Zhao Fusheng in the previous life, such as the original Jiang Wen.

And now, Jiang Wen has done it.

He has always been a man with dreams and a desire to do what he wants to do.

Zhao Fusheng's words last year were like a lamp in the fog, making Jiang Wen realize that what he sometimes needed was the courage to let go.

Since God closes a door in front of you, there will not even be a window.

The only way to break the game is to break all the shackles.

Jiang Wen knew very well what Zhao Fusheng meant, so he chose the most drastic way and stabbed the sword in his hand at an appropriate time.

In the first three quarters of the whole 03 years, domestic films fell into an unprecedented downturn, and as of October 1, the box office of domestic films released in 2003 exceeded 20 million. There are only two films with a box office of more than 10 million.

In other words, almost all domestic movies are losing money.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable to the General Administration.

On the one hand, the box office is hot after the release of Hollywood blockbusters, and on the other hand, domestic films are mourning.

No one can take that responsibility, so change is an unstoppable trend.

Jiang Wen's "book" behavior is just right. And the next thing is up to the filmmakers themselves.

But no matter what the result is, many people in this circle must admit that Jiang Wen's role in this matter is not trivial.

After the dinner, everyone dispersed, but Zhao Fusheng and Jiang Wen did not separate, but asked Zhang Qian to drive the two of them to the vicinity of the Chinese opera.

"I sometimes always wonder when I'm going to make the movie I want to make. ”

In the capital in October, in late autumn, the weather is already a little cool, especially at night, there is a hint of chill, so that hangovers can quickly wake up.

Jiang Wen leaned back on a bench, lit a cigarette, and spoke slowly.

"Someday. Zhao Fusheng smiled faintly, but did not smoke like Jiang Wen, but said with an indifferent expression: "Many things actually need time." ”

He said this from the heart.

The current recession of the film market is actually largely related to the socio-economic level.

Outsiders can't understand it, but insiders actually understand this truth.

When people don't even have a problem eating, they don't think about how to enjoy life all day long. Only those who have no worries about food and clothing, and have spare money, will consider the pleasures of spiritual life after satisfying material life.

To put it bluntly, the current salary level of ordinary people is not high, they have no money in their hands, and they don't have the leisure to go to the cinema to watch movies and consume at all, so naturally, the box office of the movie is not high.

After ten or eight years, when the people have money in their hands and regard watching movies as part of their leisure life, the box office of movies will naturally increase.

You don't see, many inexplicable bad movies can easily harvest more than 100 million box office, in fact, this is the truth.

Jiang Wen naturally didn't know this, he thought that Zhao Fusheng was comforting himself, and said with a wry smile: "Seriously, I don't know what kind of movies the market likes now." ”

This is what I said in my heart, the domestic film market for this matter is actually quite chaotic, not to mention Jiang Wen, no one dares to guarantee that what he shoots will be recognized by the market.

The most obvious example, many big directors of commercial films, swear that the works they shoot often become a joke after being tested by the market.

Of course, there are also some directors who may not even understand the thing they shoot, let alone the audience.

But many directors have realized that the previous small-budget film shooting practice is not suitable, and only big productions can attract the audience's attention, so they began to gather a large number of star coffee in a work and invested huge production costs, hoping to impress fans.

It's just that Jiang Wen always feels that this kind of practice is similar to drinking water to quench thirst, and it doesn't seem to solve the fundamental problem.

Zhao Fusheng was very calm, and after hearing Jiang Wen's words, he smiled lightly and said lightly: "It's not what kind of movie the market likes, but what the audience likes." ”

Yes?

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, a little bit I didn't understand what Zhao Fusheng meant, isn't the market and the audience the same?

Zhao Fusheng looked at Jiang Wen helplessly: "You must know that the market can be manipulated, but the audience cannot be manipulated." If you cheat for a while, you can't fool for a lifetime. ”

"What do you mean, you can be clear. Zhao Fusheng's words made Jiang Wen stunned, his eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that he was about to hear something he had never heard before.

Although Zhao Fusheng always claims not to mix in the entertainment industry, Jiang Wen feels that this guy seems to be born to eat this bowl of rice, and he can hear something inspiring from his mouth every time.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Jiang Wen and said helplessly: "What is the film market, it is a big concept, and the composition of the market includes investors, including directors and actors, including all stakeholders. For example, if a drama is filmed, it may not be released now, but the distributor and the filmmaker can use various ways to make the drama look attractive and hot, creating a false market boom. ”

"But there is no way to manipulate the words of the audience. You can't stop people from saying that this drama is a bad movie after watching the movie, and you can't force people to pay for movie tickets. ”

Zhao Fusheng looked at Jiang Wen with a smile and said slowly: "So, if you have that time to think about what kind of works the market likes, it is better to think about your script, because when, regardless of whether the market is prosperous or not, the quality of the script is related to the success or failure of a movie, there is no doubt about it." ”

Jiang Wen was thoughtful, he felt as if he had touched something critical.
