Before the official media launched, the media under Second Brother Su took the lead in publishing the interview news.

[A maverick director - the leader of postmodern idea films, farewell]

"Director Fang Bei is a very special director, he never accepted interviews in the past, and he lived in seclusion every day, and even when we contacted his company, we learned that Director Fang Bei didn't even have an agent.

But what's interesting is that Director Fang Bei often replies to fans on Weibo, and even he will hack himself and joke with fans, instead of some official information sent by assistants and new movie promotions like other directors - Director Fang Bei has never promoted his movies on his Weibo.

Even for this interview, he didn't promote his new film. When we asked him if his new film was a climbing theme, he smiled and didn't say.

Maybe that's the confidence of a director.

But at least we have confirmed that the new film directed by Fang Bei will be a literary film, and the production cost will exceed 100 million.

We take it for granted that this is the usual large-scale production of director Fang Bei, and we even ask, does a literary film really need such a high cost?

But Director Fang Bee denied our claim.

He asked me what a literary film was, and I was a little speechless for a while.

But I just think that it may be difficult for literary films with big production and special effects to be liked by people in the industry.

But director Fang Bei said that he didn't make movies to win awards, but to bring better films to the audience.

I think he has a point.

Some directors in our country only characterize the type of film based on cost, picture special effects, etc., and they have a bad reputation at the box office, so they will say: I am a literary film, and literary films don't care about the box office. The audience doesn't like it, it's just that their level of appreciation is not enough.

This is all a kind of evasion of responsibility and an evasion of self-absorption.

Movies must first not lose money, so that more practitioners can have the ability to create better works without worrying about life.

And what is not liked by the public, is that really art?

Director Fang said it very well, what the audience likes, you don't like it, how old are you?

And he said that the cost of "Captain China" is not as much as 80 million as the outside world guesses, but only 7 million!

It only took 7 million to make an Oscar-winning movie, which grossed more than one billion, and the special effects editing and so on set a good benchmark for domestic films.

This makes us have to look forward to the fact that it only takes 7 million to make a commercial film masterpiece like "Captain China", so when the cost exceeds 100 million, what kind of answer can Director Fang hand over to us? I am very much looking forward to it. ”

followed by an interview with Liu Mang and other crew members......

Liu Mang: "Fang Bei is a genius, he is actually very old-school filmmaker. We also persuaded him to do more publicity, but he said that the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and insisted on not doing this, but using all the money where it should be used. Now that a movie invests 100 million, the actors will first take away more than 60 million at the box office, and then deduct the rest of the money for publicity, etc., how much money can be really used to make the movie? I don't want to say more, I can only say that Director Fang's new movie will not disappoint everyone. ”

Luo Wei: "In fact, there are many companies and crews who poach me at a high price, and the treatment they give is ten or even twenty times better than that of Director Fang here, but no one in our crew will leave." Because what we want to do is real art, and Fang Dao is the person who understands us best. ”

Kira Yoshikage: "Why did you take this play? Because I believe in Director Fang, and I trust my eyes even more." I've been with a lot of crews before, but when I was filming "Captain China", I didn't see the 'unspoken rules' that are common in other crews in this crew. The lunch boxes of other crews are all things for a few dollars, and even then there are rebates. Director Fang requires that the crew's lunch box must reach the standard of 20 or even 30 yuan, and all the props and costumes of the crew are newly bought, rather than rented dirty clothes full of sweat and smell. Even when I go to and from work every day, I send them by car. It's hard not to put your heart and soul into such a crew. ”

sprinkled a lot of them, basically praising others and other gratitude.

As soon as this news came out, Fang Bei was once again on the top of the hot search.

And now everyone calls him has changed.

In addition to the titles of maverick young director, the only Chinese face of the Oscar, and the father of superhero movies, there is a new title...... Director of conscience.

............

In a certain office, Wu Kai was smoking a cigarette with a numb expression.

Zhang Luo sat across from him, watching him and not speaking.

After a while, Zhang Luo sighed: "Xiao Wu, are you sure that this movie will also be made into a literary film?"

Wu Kai raised his head with a blank expression: "Isn't this the company's order?" ”

"It's the company's orders, but now it's different from the past, I didn't expect that the literary film that Xiao Fang said would actually invest so much!" Zhang Luo also felt quite speechless.

You can make literary films, forget it, and invest more than 100 million in literary films?

Why can you shoot "Captain China" with an investment of 7 million, what do you want to do with an investment of more than 100 million?

Anyway, he Zhang Luo doesn't plan to make a new film this year, it's really just right, there is no way.

Originally, the company wanted Wu Kai's film to slow down first, and avoid the limelight of Fang Bei first, but Wu Kai said that he would shoot anything, and he also had to set the schedule with Fang Bei at the same time.

Isn't this death?

Wu Kai pursed his lips: "Uncle Zhang, give me a chance, I want to try." Commercial films may not be my opponent, but literary films ...... I don't think I'm worse than anyone else. ”

Zhang Luo didn't answer, he just sat there and smoked.

After a long time, he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, raised his head and said, "I can help you apply for additional funds from above, but it is only 30 million at most." ”

After a pause, his expression was serious: "Remember, this is the face of me and your father-in-law, no matter how bad this movie is, you should understand the consequences." ”

After all, film companies have to make money.

Wu Kai's last transformation into a commercial film "Iron and Blood Flying Sand" has lost more than 50 million, and if this one loses again, the company may have to give up Wu Kai.

Even if his father-in-law is a director of the company, the result is the same.

When it came to his father-in-law, a trace of resentment in Wu Kai's eyes flashed away, but he lowered his head and covered up the past well.

Raising his head again, he nodded heavily: "I understand, I won't fail this movie!"

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi! Since you came to make a literary film, then I can't lose to you!

This time, I won't do anything like a "capital enemy" again!

I won't look for a water army, I want to defeat you with dignity!

............

On the other hand, Xu Kuangfu, the director of the crazy side, dropped the tablet directly during the live broadcast of the Oscars.

"Don't you want to make trouble?! I make literary films, and he also shoots? He wants to slap me in the face? And what does this media interview mean? Aimed at me?"

The assistant standing in front of him laughed: "Director Xu, dissipate your anger." This is actually an opportunity, and the company will support you strongly. The investment in your new movie has been increased to 1.5 billion, and we can also make a large-scale literary film. ”

This is indeed an opportunity for Xu Kuangfu's Shengyu company.

How can we maximize the benefits?

Hype, of course!

And what could be more eye-catching than playing in the ring with an Oscar-winning director?

Moreover, the director has never made a literary film, and even this is only his second film.

What if you win?

That's a double harvest of fame and profit.

So they increased their investment in Xu Kuangfu's films, and even encouraged him to say goodbye to Fang.

It's a pity that Fang Bei didn't react there, and he didn't even pay attention to Xu Kuang's relapse on Weibo.

"I knew I couldn't lose. Xu Kuangfu calmed down.

He is a veteran of the domestic film and television industry.

What is the most important thing about domestic literary films? Box office? No, of course, it is award-winning!

And Fang Bei is a person who is outside the circle, and this interview is very sharp, and he also offended the domestic film and television circle.

No matter how good he is, he won't win the award!

But that's not enough, we need some material.

Maybe Xu Kuangfu didn't feel it himself, he faced Fang Bei, and he was actually a little empty in his heart.

"Xiao Ye, you go find someone to write a movie review, and when the time comes, write me a different black draft when the movie is released, not only the movie, but even him will be arranged for me. I want him to have as much black material as possible. ”

Assistant Xiao Ye pushed his glasses: "Okay, I know a film critic who has hacked Fang Fang before, he has been quite popular recently, I will contact him later." ”

"Oh, what's his name?"

"I don't know, it's an online film critic, and his Weibo ID is 'Great Onmyoji - the strongest paramecium'. ”
