Chapter 263: I Still Have Faith in Movies (4/6)

"This is something that we made specifically for Gravity to simulate the space environment,"

"Because most of the plot takes place in space, the actors' performance is a problem..."

"How much money was spent... I won't tell you this, I can tell you that 80% of the production cost of "Gravity" was spent on production and special effects!"

After a brief chat, Lu Xiaoran brought the microphone, and then the makeup artist came over to help him sort it out briefly.

......

"The origin of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is that I want to make a martial arts, and it just so happens that Lu Yang has a suitable script, and then we will shoot it!"

"We don't really want to do ordinary martial arts, "Embroidered Spring Knife" strictly speaking, it is filmed "the story of the eagle claw of the imperial court", and Jinyiwei is involved in the temple dispute and becomes a political pawn. ”

"Therefore, this movie can't be like the knights in martial arts who are happy and hateful, wandering the rivers and lakes, they have more of a sense of helplessness and weight for politics... Many people feel unhappy watching "Embroidered Spring Knife", which is understandable, and the Daming Jianghu we built also has that kind of refreshing story. ”

""Embroidered Spring Knife" plus six films "Factory Gong", "Dragon Gate", "Liukou", "The Biography of Ding Xiu", "Chivalrous Girl", and "Miao Jiang" constitute the prequel series of Daming Jianghu..."

"After "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", many people are interested in the story of the Ming Dynasty, we do the Ming Jianghu, and restore the story of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties as much as possible..."

"A lot of people criticize the love line?"

"This is really not very good, this is a necessary routine for martial arts movies - saving Hongchen, that is, traditional heroes, or talents or chivalrous, walking in the rivers and lakes can always meet a woman with huge eyes and a sense of the English, and then the two of them are in love with each other for life, and they rebel against feudal etiquette and religion angrily, and wait for the man to become famous, and then lead the woman to be good, and then he will go out to the prime minister Luanfeng and Ming. ”

In a sense, this kind of redemption is more self-actualization of male characters, and in order to protect this sense of self-realization, it is necessary to sacrifice the ability or initiative of female characters. ”

"Ding Xiu's moves... If you've watched the Ju Technique in "Rogue Kenshin", you can understand. ”

"Lu Yang likes "JOJO Adventure" and "Ronin Swordsman" very much, so thieves like Ding Xiu also appeared!"

So far, it's all about "Embroidered Spring Knife", which can be called the joy of the guests and hosts, and Lu Xiaoran is very cooperative...

Then the host asked again: "What do you think of Director Gao Qunshu's recent statement that 'movies can't just be fan movies, but must be pursued'?"

Well, yesterday, Gao Qunshu posted "Little Times" on Weibo, saying: I am not against making fan movies, but I don't want to make movies just to please fans and make young fans pay, and movies should have higher requirements.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, in addition to meeting the needs of the audience, we also have to challenge ourselves many times, people live not only to make money and enjoy, but also to pursue a little. You can have low-level fun, but it can't be all low-level fun!"

Of course, Director Lu doesn't like Gao Qunshu, but there is nothing wrong with his words...

It's like Director Lu doesn't like Feng Xiaogang, but still thinks he is a good director.

"Then what do you think of "Little Times"?"

“... As I've said a long time ago, it's just a fan movie, and neither the narrative nor the composition, including the director's skills, is mature. Mayday has also made a lot of movies that specifically make fan money, "Noah's Ark", "Dream Chaser 3DNA"..."

In the end, Lu Xiaoran still couldn't hold back: "I just hope that the Chinese film market will not become a treasure land for countless mercenaries to think of "people are stupid and make money quickly"!"

"I also hope that the audience will not be disappointed with Chinese films, we still have a group of filmmakers who make movies with heart!"

......

The biggest harm of the small era series is that it kicked off the prelude to fan movies!

The success of this movie has sent a message to many producers, that is, with a small amount of fresh meat and an excellent publicity, you can make money.

Movies are not RMB, and it is impossible for everyone to like them, but RMB is really liked by everyone, so why not earn it?

Moreover, it is very labor-saving to do so, and there is no need to grind the script hard.

What do you think, "Embroidered Spring Knife" invited Lu Xiaoran + Deng Chao, with a Douban score of 7.6 points, and a real production cost of 35 million, but the result is that I haven't sold "Little Times 2"...

What is "Little Times"?

Guo Jingming!

What is the secret of success?

A fan of someone!

As a result, more actors, hosts, cross talk actors, writers, and Internet celebrities who have not even performed their own plays well have also become producers and directors, and have flocked into the film industry.

Of course, the worst impact on the film market is that a large number of idols, comedians, and Internet celebrities have partnered to create one so-called "variety show movie" and "cross talk variety show" one after another, with 'I, want, circle, money' written from beginning to end, and the audience really bought it!

On the ugliness of eating, on the insult to the audience's IQ, and on the contempt for the movie industry, it is enough to make people jaw-dropping!

Movie... There should be a touch of artistry, right?

Actually, we don't like fan movies, not because we hate someone, but because this model is actually deformed!

The deformity lies in the fact that it is not beneficial to the future development of the film market, and everyone does not invest in films that require time and a lot of labor, which is not cultivating the market, or even cultivating audiences.

This is called bad money driving out good money!

In the long run, are there still investors willing to spend money to make serious movies?

......

Hotel, at ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiaoran was talking to Zhang Jin on the phone...

"Hunting" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, MK2 watched the movie and felt that it was the best work Zhang Yimou had made in recent years, and promised to do his best to help with public relations.

"Of course it's better to be able to win the Golden Lion, but it's really not good, at least get an actor!"

Boss Lu hung up the phone and looked at the sugar candy lying on the sofa and swiping the phone in a very indecent posture...

"..."Embroidered Spring Knife" surpasses "Little Times"..."

“... Single-day box office?"

"Hmm. ”

“... Did Gao Qunshu say anything?"

"Didn't speak, his film was scolded... Is that the one you're looking for?"

“... I have a problem, his movie is not made for normal people, and I still need to find someone to smear it?"

"I'll tell you something!" Sugar Candy got up from the sofa: "Someone invested me 80 million to make a movie!"

"Ahem..."Director Lu was shocked: "You... What kind of movie?

“... I didn't ask for it, so I said that the box office was over 200 million..."
