444 Movies are always a culture

The next night, Chen Xiao returned to Huaxia.

In the end, it was just a little golden man in hand, and the last nomination was not won.

But as he imagined, as early as the end of the Oscars, it was the morning of Chinese time, and the reports of various media had already been capitalized and featured.

The Oscars, which were twenty years late, are finally back.

So does this prove that Chinese films finally have hope to march to the Oscars?

I have to say that Chen Xiao's award this time is still very morale-inspiring, at least in the eyes of those media people, they feel that the spring of Chinese films seems to have arrived.

And Chen Xiao, who returned to Huaxia, also accepted the highest treatment, that is...... Interview!

As soon as he got off the plane and left the hall, he saw a lot of reporters waiting for him outside, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao was prepared, wearing a mask, then putting on his hat and bowing his head slightly, silently following the pedestrians outside.

Although this looks very obscene, it is good to be able to avoid reporters.

"Well, didn't find me. ”

Chen Xiao passed by these reporters and did not attract attention, Chen Xiao, who had regained his freedom, only felt that the sky was high and the clouds were light, and he originally wanted to make a phone call with Wu Daoyi and ask him to pick him up, but now he can only do it.

I took a taxi on the side of the road, and just arrived downstairs at my house, but I found four or five reporters at the door.

Belch......

This is just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den, and it is still waiting for the rabbit, waiting for work, amazing.

Now he can't use the same way anymore, because Chen Xiao's goal is too obvious, that is, to enter the building, if he is a little careful, he will be able to recognize him.

After seeing Chen Xiao, these reporters surrounded him in the fastest way, causing the surrounding pedestrians to turn around again and again.

"Chen Xiao, may I ask you that you won the Oscar, how do you feel now?"

"Chen Xiao, are you still preparing for the Oscars for your next movie?"

"Chen Xiao, some people say that you have shortened the distance between Huaxia and Oscar, what do you think about this?"

Chen Xiao was a little impatient: "Come one by one." ”

Immediately, a reporter asked: "Hello Chen Xiao, this time "Resident Evil" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in one fell swoop, but in recent years, there have been many films that are more ambitious and have a higher box office than "Resident Evil" to enter the Oscars, and they all failed miserably.

This reporter's question seems to be a little unsatisfactory to the movie "Resident Evil", but in fact, it is just a common problem.

It's not that I can't look down on "Resident Evil", but there is indeed such a situation, and there are also box office and investment far exceeding "Resident Evil", but they didn't win an Oscar.

If you want to win the Oscar, it's actually quite difficult.

Just like Chen Xiao's experience this time, he almost lost all of his seven nominations, but fortunately won a Best Foreign Language Film at the end.

Otherwise, it will be too ugly, and even if there is no hype from these reporters, he will be a little unable to pull his face.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xiao said: "In fact, what we lack most in Chinese films now is not money, on the contrary, the investment in many of our films is relatively high in the world, although there is still no way to compare with Hollywood blockbusters, but it is not too much worse, as for the box office, we are not lacking, so what we lack is actually content." ”

A reporter asked: "Is there relatively new content like "Resident Evil"?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, the Oscars are actually more concerned with realistic themes, showing rich humanity in realistic themes, which is the leading value orientation of world creation, of course, the novel theme is indeed a huge advantage of "Resident Evil". ”

"Is it like the theme of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix"?"

"That's right, "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" is a very good movie, and it almost entered the Oscars at that time, Oscar director Martin met Director Jiang Suping because of this movie, and praised Director Jiang as a real giant in the film industry.

But I think "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" didn't win the Oscar, a big reason is not because the theme of this movie is not enough, it is probably because those foreign judges don't have much empathy for our Chinese culture, which is actually a very regrettable thing.??"

Reporter: "Do you think that if the judges from all over the world are familiar with Chinese culture, "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" is still very likely to win the Oscar, right?"

"It can be understood this way. ”

Reporter: "Then what do you think is the future of Chinese films?"

"I don't think I'm qualified to answer such a thing, but I personally think that the future of Chinese films is obviously not enough to rely on large-scale productions with luxurious appearance and pale content. After all, what can move the audience and judges is the story that can touch people's hearts, not the gorgeous shell piled up with money. ”

The reporter asked: "Then what do you think Huaxia films should do now?"

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "In fact, I have said so much, it's all about the Oscars, but you must know that the world film art is full of flowers, movies are always a kind of culture, culture comes from the nation or country, and our Chinese films still have a strict censorship system, which itself is different from the model of Western films, so it seems that it is incapable to make a film to participate in the selection of the Oscars in this situation."

If our goal in making a movie is to hit an Oscar, it actually shows that we lack culture in the film industry, in this way, we can't find our own personality or find our own characteristics, the most taboo in the creative and cultural industry is to catch up, so we will always be passive behind others, only by insisting on finding our own characteristics and paths, will we win the respect of the world, at that time, the Oscar is no longer far away. ”

The reporters at the scene were very excited, this interview was not a loss, Chen Xiao's words this time were definitely serious, completely different from the previous interview, full of dry goods.

Then after going back this time, I definitely wrote it.

I really didn't expect that when Chen Xiao was interviewed, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Just when the reporter was about to ask a few more questions while Chen Xiao was seriously answering the questions, Chen Xiao saw Wu Daoyi come out shaking his head.

When he saw Chen Xiao in the distance, he was stunned for a moment: "Chen Xiao, are you back?"

Chen Xiao beckoned to him: "Come over here." ”

"What are you doing?" Wu Daoyi was a little puzzled, but still walked over.

Chen Xiao said: "Just now, these reporters were very curious about the situation when "Cat and Mouse" won the Oscar, and it happened that you came over to talk to these reporters. ”

Wu Daoyi blinked, is that so?

It's been a year, and there are still reporters who can't forget it?

Then Chen Xiao said to reporters: "This is the producer of "Cat and Mouse", and he once won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, you talk first, and I'll leave first." ”

Saying that, Chen Xiao didn't wait for the two sides to react, and disappeared, leaving only a few reporters and Wu Daoyi with big eyes and small eyes.
