Chapter 340: Two blockbusters
Qin Huaizhang actually didn't plan to make movies again, but obviously, because of the influence of "Crazy Stone", he also held his breath in his heart.
To be honest, when he first expressed his stance on "Crazy Stone", he didn't know what kind of film it was, and at that time he was also misled by other people's information, thinking that this was really a bad movie crew that cheated money at a small cost, so he made that comment with righteous indignation at that time.
It's just that he didn't expect his words to be constantly quoted, and in the end, he was even used by someone with a heart to borrow a knife to kill, which made him a little annoyed.
But what made him even more angry was that "Crazy Stone" was not a bad movie crew at all as he predicted, on the contrary, it was affirmed by the upper media, and it seems that it can really become a representative work of a small-budget film counterattack.
If that's the case, then he's been completely slapped in the face.
As an old-timer in the film industry, Qin Huaizhang has actually experienced a lot of ups and downs, but he never expected that he would overturn in this kind of thing, so the anger in his heart soared, and he couldn't extinguish it.
The older a person gets, the more his temper is like a child, although Qin Huaizhang has not made any new comments on "Crazy Stone" after that, this does not mean that he has forgotten about this matter.
So, in the end, he suddenly announced that he was going to participate in Lin Yueliang's New Year police blockbuster "Vacuum"!
In his opinion, as long as there is a movie related to himself that can crush "Crazy Stone", his mood can be straightened out.
Lin Yueliang, as the director of "Vacuum", is naturally very excited that Mr. Qin Huaizhang can make a cameo, he himself is from the southern entertainment circle, and most of the actors used in this film are also star artists in the southern circle, and everyone secretly holds back their strength in their hearts, as if they want to fight for the southern entertainment industry again.
Therefore, this "Vacuum" is also riveting at this time, ready to fight a bloody way in the New Year's Day stalls!
……
At the beginning of December, "The Longest Night" and "Vacuum" also released their own trailers.
Chen Feng also watched the trailers of these two films on the Internet, but after watching it, he became more confident in "Crazy Stone".
Judging from the trailer, "The Longest Night" is an urban comedy, but it seems that the theme of the film is a bit heavy, and it is a black humorous way to interpret the helpless life of many people...... Although the language lines are very funny, there is a deep sense of fate behind it, and this kind of superficial comedy and core tragedy is estimated to have a small audience in the Chinese New Year.
However, Director Ma Ying still has some things, the lines in the trailer are frequent, and the language shots are also very freehand, which is really worthy of the handwriting of a well-known director.
"It's a pity, this type of movie, after all, is different from a purely commercial genre film, the director's personal style is on the heavy side, and comedy is only a surface cover, in essence, the content of the film is still more of the director's personal expression...... Well, it may be a good movie, but it doesn't necessarily work out at the box office......"
This is Chen Feng's prediction of "The Longest Night".
An Ruohua didn't agree much with this.
"I think this film directed by Ma Ying is very good, you look at the trailer, the texture of the movie lens is really good, I like this style very much, and ...... What is a purely commercial genre film? "Crazy Stone" and "The Longest Night" are both comedies after all, and they are no different, right?"
Chen Feng shook his head.
"It's different, the core selling point of "Crazy Stone" is the story, the narrative technique, which is good-looking, enjoyable, and interesting...... You can find a lot of things in this film that can stimulate the audience's interest, but you can't find the director's position...... Even if you find it, the director's position must be consistent with universal values, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, this simple orthodox concept is not exclusive to the director. ”
"And "The Longest Night" is different, but from this trailer, we can see that there are many things that the director wants to express, and even every shot is from the director's personal perspective, although the form of the story is comedy, and those lines are quite funny, but these are all in the service of the director's thoughts......"
"This is the difference between a purely commercial genre film and a director's personal style work. ”
An Ruohua's eyes widened after listening to Chen Feng's words.
"Hey, are you studying film, or am I studying film? Why do I think you know better than I do?"
Chen Feng smiled: "No way, I'm a genius, can't I?"
"No!" An Ruohua puffed out her mouth angrily, and then reached out and pinched Chen Feng's arm: "I don't care, after the film is released, you have to accompany me to see this "The Longest Night" directed by Ma Ying first!"
"Okay, good ......" Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders and agreed very easily.
In fact, he also understands An Ruohua, after all, she graduated from film school, although she usually makes some commercial films, but she still yearns for that kind of purer movie in her heart.
People, after all, their respective pursuits are different, and tolerating each other is the best way to get along.
……
Compared with "The Longest Night", Lin Yueliang's "Vacuum" trailer is more exciting, in just two minutes, gunfights, racing, hand-to-hand combat, explosions, jumping...... There are all kinds of exciting elements, this is a police blockbuster that contains action, martial arts, suspense, love, revenge and other elements, and the trailer can give people the greatest sensory stimulation.
However, Chen Feng and An Ruohua felt that it was not interesting after watching this trailer.
This time the two of them have completely the same opinion, although "Vacuum" is very lively on the surface, but it can't hide the old problem that the content of traditional police and gangster films is old-fashioned and has no new ideas, even if the film is filmed wonderfully, there is basically nothing new.
This is the shackles and limitations of the subject matter itself, and a single director or some actors cannot reverse this general trend in any case.
"Why do they have plenty ......of money and very good actors, but they have to stumble on such an old subject? It's really not interesting at all," An Ruohua sighed.
Chen Feng smiled: "For the sake of insurance...... Those of them have long been accustomed to the production process of the southern entertainment industry in the past, making such a film is the fastest, safest, safest, and most worry-free, of course they don't want to bother to develop new themes, what if they pounce?"
An Ruohua nodded, but then smiled: "So...... Who can guarantee that the old theme of the film will not flutter? hehe!"
Chen Feng thought so and agreed.
