To be honest, Li Mo is actually really the right person to stand up and answer the question of movie scheduling.

Because he is not only the president of a large media company, but also the owner of the top three theaters in China (although it is a little watery at the moment, but at least there is no problem on the surface), and he is also a director......

In the words of reporters, Li Mo's identity determines that he can think about this issue from a more comprehensive and multi-dimensional place.

！

It's not that the news of bullying labor and management and your news is not equal?!

No matter how many times Li Mo complained about his choice to be interviewed in the future, at least for now, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said next.

Since Li Mo was interviewed as the owner of Molong Cinemas, in order to avoid Li Mo from disappearing without saying a word, like those directors and actors, the reporters simply opened their mouths and pointed out the identity of the other party: "Mr. Li, do you have anything to say about Director Wang Xiaoshuai's comments on the Weibo platform?"

"I think it's understandable," Li Mo considered the wording and tried to choose some less exciting words, "From the perspective of the theater chain, they also need box office revenue to maintain their daily business activities." After all, there are dozens or hundreds of employees in a theater, as well as various expenses such as rent, depreciation of water, electricity, equipment, etc., and there is nothing wrong with hoping to make more money, after all, "The Intruder" is indeed not easy to be liked by most audiences. ”

In fact, according to Li Mo's temperament, what he wants to say should be more intense.

Like the so-called literary film director, most of the time the things he shoots are not understood by the audience.

It doesn't matter once or twice, if there are too many times, the audience will naturally think: I can't understand what his movie wants to say anyway, so why spend money to go to the cinema to watch it?

If you can't understand it once, is it difficult to continue to spend money just to understand it?

"However, many people in the film industry have called on the theater industry to change this status quo, and their view is that a well-crafted work like "The Intruder" deserves better treatment and more film scheduling......

"Excuse me, but did you go to the cinema to see this movie before you came to interview me?"

The reporter opened his mouth in the film industry and closed his mouth and shouted, Li Mo already felt a little impatient, he directly interrupted the other party's talking, and asked a rhetorical question.

"Me?" probably didn't expect Li Mo to ask such a question, the reporter was a little stunned, and after a few seconds of pause, he reacted and replied: "Interview...... I'll take a look at it when I'm done after the interview......"

"In other words, you haven't actually seen this movie yet, right?" Li Mo continued to press step by step.

"Yes...... I haven't seen it. ”

After thinking about it for a while, the reporter still felt that it would be better to simply admit it, at least, than to wait for the meeting to ask any questions about the movie and then be debunked, so he simply admitted it neatly.

"So, people like you, who will watch more films because of their work, may not choose such movies, so what position do we have to influence the managers of the theater chain and the managers who are responsible for the daily work of the theater?"

"Moreover, I think those so-called 'film insiders' seem to have forgotten a problem, that is, literary films are not only in the Celestial Empire, even if you look at various parts of the world, when it comes to box office and theatrical scheduling, it is inferior to commercial films, why do they suddenly think that literary films should get high box office?"

"But the previous literary films have achieved box office success," this reporter doesn't seem to have done his homework at all, although the problem of watching "The Intruder" just now is that it is stuck, but it is quite smooth when giving examples. "For example, "Return" directed by Zhang Yimou has achieved a box office of 400 million yuan, and Chen Ge is already in the preparatory stage of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", ......"

"Okay, let's talk about "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Ge first. Li Mo smiled slightly and talked eloquently, "As far as I know, Director Chen Ge has negotiated with the Jingzhou Municipal Government and plans to build an antique Tang City in the local area for the filming of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", if this plan is finally implemented, then I can be sure that "The Legend of the Demon Cat" will either not be a literary film, or it will definitely be a failure." ”

"With such a big investment, if it ends up being made into a tool for the director to express his personal will, without considering whether the audience can understand it at all, then there is no doubt that the failure of this film is conceivable......"

"Okay, "The Legend of the Demon Cat" has not yet been released, let's not use it as a reference," after silently writing down Li Mo in his heart, the reporter then asked: "What about "Return"?"

"To put it mildly, in my opinion, "The Return" and "The Intruder", director Zhang Yimou and director Wang Xiaoshuai, comparing them together is not a thing at the same level at all. ”

"In terms of director, director Zhang Yimou is far from being comparable to director Wang Xiaoshuai, in terms of casting, Mr. Lu Zhong I have worked with, of course she is also a very good, very good actor, but her acting skills are only limited to dramas and some TV drama audiences, and the fame of Teacher Gong Li cannot be compared at all, and to be honest, the two movies are not on the same level even from the perspective of film quality. ”

""Return" is director Zhang Yimou's return work after "The Great Wall", and it shoots specific characters in a specific environment that he is good at......

"And "The Intruder" was originally intended to start with the heroine's psychological changes, and finally reveal the truth, this setting itself is no problem, but Director Wang is not a director who is good at arranging the psychological level," Li Mo paused slightly and continued: "In my opinion, when Director Wang was filming "The Intruder", he obviously fell into the trap of choosing between business and personal expression, which directly led to his lack of purity in the expression of the whole film, and the focus was not focused enough,"

"You just said that he was shortlisted for so many awards, but in the end, this film did not win any heavyweight awards at the film level, except for Mr. Lu Zhong winning the Best Actress at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, I think this is enough to explain the problem. ”

"Although I am only the owner of Molong Cinema and not the manager, I absolutely understand and agree with the decision made by the cinema for "Intruder". In terms of artistic level, "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and "Left Ear" are certainly not as good as "The Intruder", but the problem is that whether it is "Why Sheng Xiaomo" or "Left Ear", they have done their promotional homework before their release, and even on my mobile phone, I will receive various recommendations about these two films. ”

"If it weren't for Director Wang who posted that Weibo, even I wouldn't have gone to watch that movie, and if industry insiders are still like this, why would the audience go?"

"If the audience doesn't pay, what reason do theaters and cinemas have to pay for Director Wang's work?"

"At the end of the day, cinemas and cinemas are not charities, they are staffed by ordinary people. Everyone works hard and earns money hard, and their salaries, bonuses and even all the benefits come from the theater after the movie is released. On the same day of work, the films "Furious 7" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Left Ear" may be able to harvest tens of millions of box office, and "Intruder" may only be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, why should people put themselves in because of the meticulous work of a certain movie?"
