405 Idols and benchmarks for young filmmakers
Honggao reorganized to take over the endgame of Times Pictures and created a new film company, Honggao Film and Television, and Hu Zhengxin, the former vice president of Times Pictures, became the new president of Honggao Film and Television. Medals, Dynasty Cinemas, and ticket-buying software resources are interconnected, and the relationship between the capital side of the film industry is confusing. ”
The movie "The Man Behind the Scenes" has been praised and praised as the most exciting and explosive movie this year, director Xu Nan said: A Spring Festival blockbuster that is definitely not to be missed. ”
"Legend of Kung Fu", "Great Power Climbing", "Mysterious World" and many other blockbusters were launched and released, and the Spring Festival war in the new year started again, and Wei Xun's "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has a high reputation and has been praised by industry insiders, and it is suspected of impacting the Beijing Film Festival awards and giving up the box office market. ”
"In May last year, at the launch conference of "God of Medicine", Wei Xun made an astonishing statement that the box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" would exceed 3 billion, but now it seems to be just a gimmick. ”
"The Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey will immediately enter the registration screening rehearsal, it is rumored that Wei Xun will join the Spring Festival file this year, the reporter of this newspaper inquired in many ways and confirmed that the news is true, but what program Wei Xun will come out of, it is not yet known. ”
Entering January of the new year, the major awards seasons have ended, and the major headlines in the entertainment industry are basically movie-related, and of course, the Spring Festival Gala that begins to warm up at this time of year.
At a time when major film companies are launching a fierce publicity offensive, on the 1.5th, the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" launched the first roadshow at the Beijing Film Academy.
Next, they will travel to 17 cities for a 22-day national roadshow.
At this time, people still don't know how much potential "God of Medicine" has. Dynasty Entertainment's Ke Runheng is dreaming of defeating Wei Xun in the box office field, Huaying and other major film investors are thinking about how to carve up the Spring Festival market, and industry professionals are not optimistic about the box office of "God of Medicine", and no one even knows what kind of preparations Wei Xun has begun to make in advance for the arrival of the post-traffic era.
At least at this moment, in the eyes of a group of crazy young students in the film school, everything else is not important, the important thing is that everyone finally met the legendary director, screenwriter, and actor who can be called the young legend of the film industry - Wei Xun in the auditorium of the film school.
In January in Beijing, the temperature has completely entered the coldest stage of the year, Wei Xun is wearing a blue down jacket and a peaked cap, which can be described as very low-key, but he still can't hide his handsomeness and casual confidence.
And the main creative team of "God of Medicine", Shao Bing, Jiang Duzhou, Yi Heng, and An Shi, also stood on the stage in the auditorium.
Half an hour later, it will become a temporary screening hall for the screening of "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
"After the film viewing that day, Mr. Chen came to me and said, Wei Xun, when you are on the roadshow, come to the film academy. Originally, I didn't want to disturb everyone's schoolwork at this time, but Teacher Chen told me......"
On the stage of the auditorium, Wei Xun held the microphone, looked at the hundreds of students below, and teased with a smile: "He said that you all like me very much and want me to come and meet you, I think for this reason, I will definitely come." ”
The students in the audience burst out laughing.
"Director Wei, what Teacher Chen said is right, we all like you very much. ”
"Yes, yes, I still want to wait until I graduate to go to Medal Media as an intern director, I don't know if Director Wei will recruit people. ”
"Director Wei, do you still accept apprentices, my grades are no worse than Senior Zhang Yu and Senior Zhou Bing. ”
"Wei Dao ......"
The auditorium was filled with the cheerful voices of students.
Everyone looked at Wei Xun on the stage, and everyone's eyes were full of admiration, because this young man's achievements over the years were really exciting.
"So, let's come one by one, well, so many of you talk together, I really can't answer. ”
Wei Xun smiled and motioned for everyone to be quiet, then stretched out and pointed to a boy with glasses who raised his hand, and said, "Just you." ”
In the envious eyes of the students, the boy with glasses stood up and asked a little shyly: "Director Wei, what I want to ask is, is the success of your "Chainsaw" in the United States accidental, or can ......it be replicated? Is it possible to catch up with the level of Hollywood films. ”
Everyone didn't expect him to ask this question as soon as he opened his mouth, and the entire auditorium fell silent for a while.
Even Professor Chen Qinghe, who was sitting at the back of the auditorium, raised his head.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at Wei Xun expectantly, or apprehensively, waiting for his answer.
"You just asked me if the success of Saw was accidental or could have been replicated. I can tell you for sure that any success is not accidental, but if you want to succeed, you have to put in hard work and sweat. When I was in the United States, director Kang Cheng and director Lin Fan didn't believe that we could succeed at first. ”
"But then you all know that "Chainsaw" has been an unprecedented success in the United States, and now it is ready to be released in 72 countries one after another, and the promotional posters of each country have our Chinese language. ”
Wei Xun looked at the boy in the audience, and said with a serious expression: "As a Chinese filmmaker, if you don't believe that you can succeed, then how can you go abroad with movies in the future?" Now that you are in the film academy, you are a student, and when you go out of this school in the future, you will be a part of the filmmakers." Hollywood isn't scary, because I've beaten them at home and abroad. Since I can, it doesn't make sense that you can't, so it's not that we might catch up with Hollywood, but that we will, and will!"
His voice was not deliberately raised, nor was he deliberately incitement to emotions, let alone deliberately pretending.
But it was such a confident and loud remark that made all the students present feel enthusiastic. His students, who have not yet stepped out of the ivory tower, tend to be more energetic and ambitious, and they dare to fight and think more than their predecessors.
Seniors can't catch up with Hollywood, but young people don't have to.
What's more, in front of everyone, there is a fierce man who has successfully sniped Hollywood movies, and he has the most right to speak!
Bang bang bang.
And this answer also made the entire auditorium applaud.
Even the old professor Chen Qinghe was applauding.
Looking at Wei Xun who was seriously interacting with the students, and then looking at the excitement in the eyes of the students at the scene, and the uncontrollable worship when he looked at Wei Xun, the old professor was very relieved.
Because he saw the idol and benchmark of a young filmmaker.
Chinese films, sure enough, have reached the era of blooming flowers, and Wei Xun's success overseas has greatly inspired and inspired the young people of this era, and they will be like their idol Wei Xun in the future, going abroad one after another to contribute to the Chinese film industry.
And Chen Qinghe clearly felt that Wei Xun was deliberately encouraging the young students and building confidence for them.
The power of example is endless.
"You will be a legend of this time. ”
Chen Qinghe looked at Wei Xun on the stage, and thought of it silently in his heart, with a very relieved expression.
