Chapter 160: Movie Diary (I) (4/5)
(I really can't think of the title)
In fact, Hollywood didn't want to go global at the beginning, they wanted to serve the local American audience...
Later, the proportion of overseas box office became higher and higher, and I had to focus more on overseas!
The market in China is big enough that, according to Assistive Devices, at its peak, there were 90,000 screens – three times that of North America!
What is the concept?
The market capacity is at least three times that of the North American market!
It will take at least a few decades to build the Chinese market first!
Then think about going out...
Of course, his statement was directly refuted by Ren Zhonglun: "Chinese films must go to the world." Over the past decade or so, Shanghai Film Group has adopted a relatively gradual approach to participation. Ten years ago, Shanghai Film Group began co-production, but the co-production with shallow participation in the previous ten years was essentially co-production. Now, Shanghai Film Group has 'taken off the lifebuoy, slowly walked to the depths of the sea, and began to try a real co-production'"
"We have been in a cultural form for a long time, and we may not be well known to the world, but we cannot be considered that this is our essence. China's cultural circles should also have a global perspective with China's financial circles. The Chinese film industry should have the mind to learn from the world. ”
Lu Xiaoran thought for a while, and said again: "I think Mr. Ren is right, I have been in Hollywood, and I have also been to South Korea for a while, and they rarely talk about American movies, Korean movies, and the 'works of a certain director' on their lips. If the movie is not filmed well, who cares about you. ”
"The world market share of American films is an unshakable default, and we can only compete with world movies in the remaining less than 10% of Hollywood's market share! Chinese films cannot become the staple food of entertainment for world audiences in a short period of time, and at best they are just a dessert! The supply of desserts is limited!"
"As for co-productions, let me say a word, don't be angry, Mr. Ren, American films are filmed much more often in Italy (Rome Cinema), Australia (Sydney Studios), the United Kingdom (Pinewood Studios), the Czech Republic (Prague is the mecca of Hollywood costume films), Canada (American dramas are basically there) than China... I didn't hear them say they wanted to go out into the world!"
"Anyway, I always believe that movies are cultural products, and a healthy film format must be satisfied with the local market first, and then there can be output!"
"Thank you!"
Ren Zhonglun is the chairman of Shanghai Film Studio, saying that this person, everyone may not know, saying that he organized the movies: "Xinhai Revolution", "The Climber"...
A great guy!
If it weren't for him, the Climber, there might be a second master on Mount Everest!
......
For seven days, there are a bunch of forums every day...
Lu Xiaoran participated in one, and then went to South Korea to inspect the filming location.
(The later stage of "Star You" was handed over to Guo Shubo.) )
Korean movies, it's really good!
At least the degree of freedom in the creative environment is far greater than that of mainland films!
Frankly,
If you really like movies and follow the development of the film industry, you will feel sad when you see the development of movies in neighboring countries - "Parasite" won four Oscars!
On the one hand, the shrinking capital market makes it more difficult for films to attract investment, and on the other hand, there are constantly strict censorship and self-censorship, a bunch of technical problems...
The overall status of Chinese films in film history is indeed higher than that of South Korea, but the rise of Korean films in recent years cannot be ignored.
I'm afraid that some people can't watch a few movies all year round, and they don't even figure out which three of the three are, which is also very funny.
Korean movies, the most famous, are, of course, reality themes!
In fact, I don't like the "Korean reality themes" that are blown very high, including a certain furnace and a certain Yuan, because most of them are emotionally first and use too much force.
"The Crucible" and "Carnival"...
"The Crucible" is a typical commercial film, all the characters are extremely face-painted, for example, the dean, found an ugly and obscene actor to play the principal, and let the audience release all their emotions at the villain.
"Carnival" is an indictment of society, the emotions and cameras are very restrained, and even the faces of the bad guys can't be seen clearly...
But many people praise these Korean films, not necessarily because they really recognize the level of film, but because they envy the freedom of creation.
Domestic environment: As long as the movies that reflect reality to a certain extent are miserable in China, most of them are not cared for, and they will be sprayed if they are popular.
Like "Carnival", it has been revised several times and released with difficulty, but no one has watched it.
What's even worse is that it is difficult enough to pass the trial, and many people will jump out and accuse you of betraying the country and offering ugliness.
Like "The Party at the Southern Station", which was shortlisted for Cannes last year, a group of people have not seen the film, and the remarks of "shame" and "licking foreign judges" have already come out, and after Zhang Yimou's "One Second" was technology, people on major platforms came out to say that "forbidden is good" and "Zhang Yimou is outdated".
And then I came to scold the domestic movie garbage...
Lu Xiaoran walked very chicly, and she didn't worry much about the publicity of "Scorching Sun"...
Orange is such a big company and has its own rules and regulations!
Huang Zhongjun can go to work one day a week and spend his spare time experiencing life, why can't Mr. Lu?
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a key project of this year's orange, filmed in China, Japan and South Korea, and CJ Group also participated in the investment.
Boss Lu arrived in South Korea and was picked up by Ahn so-hyun, the head of Xijie's film department...
"Scorching Sun", offline promotion smashed 20 million, street signs, posters, online marketing releases, film critics, everything that should be done is in place!
You just need to turn on the computer and search for keywords such as 'Shanghai Film Festival' or 'scorching sun' and 'Lu Xiaoran', and you can immediately see: "The opening of the Shanghai Film Festival shocked the audience!"
"The first advance screening made the media stand up and salute!"
"< Sunburning", the biggest dark horse movie of 2012 has been born"
Whether the schedule is suitable or not, "Scorching Sun" is the work of Lu Xiaoran as the emperor, and there is no problem with blowing a sentence of internationalization!
So, the propaganda team really exhausted all means ...
......
Caring people can see that the domestic films that sold well in the first half of this year are inextricably linked to Lu Xiaoran, needless to say, "Fireworks in the Day", written and directed by himself, the screenwriter of "Predecessor Raiders" is Lu Xiaoran, "Manslaughter", and the script creativity is Lu Xiaoran...
Insert a sentence, after Han Yan finished filming "Predecessor Raiders", he took over the foreign drama "The First Time", produced by Anle Pictures, starring: Yang Tianbao + Zhao Youting...
Orange has no opinion, director, you can shoot whatever you want, the company read the script, and then did not invest.
Back to the topic, the script idea of "Scorching Sun" is actually Lu Xiaoran!
Han Mingming, who is the second generation who played "Journey" Wan's doubtful life, is now the vice president of the Beijing Lu Xiaoran Movie Fan Association!
No longer has to use tea to attract tickets to the premiere, now it's a bunch of people inviting him to tea!
Why is the upgrade so fast?
The main original president was transferred to work in the theater, and he recommended him before leaving...
Sometimes to get closer, all you need is a horse of Ukrainian black tea!
After ascending to the throne, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, so he simply followed Douban and made a viewing record in the group - mainly to talk about his thoughts after watching the movie.
That is, to write a movie review!
If there is a particularly good writing, he will submit it to the president, and once hired, it will be promoted on the whole network, and rewards will be issued.
He will give 80% of the reward to the original author, and keep 20% for himself to promote the fan club...
Anyway, that's what he said, and as for how to do it, no one supervises it...
"Scorching Sun" was released, and Han Mingming watched the movie for the first time.
After reading it, to be honest, he was not satisfied with "Scorching Sun" and did not meet his expectations!
Although it's good, it's incomparable to what the media has blown up, especially "Manslaughter" in front!
I bought a copy of "Sunspots", looked through the original book, and then understood the crux of the problem - the change is too big, the biggest change, the three brothers are not the culprits!
The theme of "Sunspots" is about the atonement of human sin, and the reason why the three brothers desperately force themselves to atone for their sins is because the previous sins are so serious. If this "sin" is not so heavy in the end, then the atonement does not seem to be so strong.
The straightforwardness of the real criminal added at the end of "Sunburning"...
A bit redundant!
Of course, Wang Yanhui acted really well!
After coming back, he clicked on the QQ on his mobile phone, looked up 'Guangmu Mu Haifeng' for the first time, and then asked: "Have you watched "Scorching Sun"?"
This guy has written several movie reviews and all of them have been accepted!
Known as the first person to kneel and lick Lu Xiaoran!
"Not yet, I'm sleeping, we'll talk later!"
"How old are you, still sleeping!"
“... Jue Jue is my wife..."
