Li Xiaofeng, many people may not know.

He is also an author-type director, in the early years, he followed Lu Chuan to tinker with "Ke Ke Xili", and later filmed and screenwrote "Dada" with Zhang Yuan, yes, the director of Zhang Yuan, who was addicted to drugs...

In 13 years, he took the project "Girl Nezha" written by himself and was shortlisted for the venture capital unit of the Shanghai International Film Festival, and in July 15, "Girl Nezha" was released.

It was released at the same time as "Small Times 4: The End of the Soul" and "Gardenia Bloom"!

The box office failed miserably, only more than 500,000, and the theater line was a three-day tour...

It was a literary youth film, and Shen Ming didn't understand it...

Too self-expressive, too serious about himself - Li Xiaofeng himself said: I don't know what I filmed...

Very honest!

But his audience has various interpretations and insults for "Little Times" and "Gardenia Blossom", as if he is very awesome after watching "Girl Nezha"!

You didn't shoot it, what are you so awesome about?

There are only two kinds of films in the world, one directed by Nolan and one directed by non-Nolan.

Nolan fans look down on all the people who tinker with movies - the first director of the universe!

But what, David Fincher fans look down on Nolan fans the most...

The chain of contempt looks something like this:

I like to watch European movies, I look down on Hollywood movies;

Those who like to watch Hollywood movies look down on Japanese and Korean movies;

likes Japanese and Korean movies and looks down on Hong Kong and Taiwanese movies;

Domestic films are at the bottom end of the chain of contempt...

Of course, if you subdivide it further, those who watch domestic literary films look down on those who watch domestic commercial films.

Those who watch domestic commercial films look down on Guo Xiaosi...

Yes, as far as most viewers are concerned, there are occasional arguments with each other, but it is a relatively unanimous opinion that "Little Times" fans are at the lower end of the chain of contempt...

Frankly speaking, in art, there is a chain of contempt, you don't have to open your eyes and say no.

What have been said: art is inferior, you despise it, it is you who are narrow-minded, it is you who label it, it is you who are immature.

Immature fart, in fact, those who have a pursuit of movies, and even those who have a pursuit of beautiful and real things, have their own set of contempt chains in their hearts.

The chain of contempt for the work exists normally and reasonably - aesthetic level and personal hobbies are actually two different concepts...

However, it must be said that there is a chain of contempt between producers, and there should be no chain of contempt between consumers.

Everyone bought tickets, and many viewers were satisfied when they saw their idols appear on the screen, and this satisfaction was no weaker than when you saw a good movie with careful logic.

However, as a film practitioner, Shen Ming despises bad movies such as "Little Times" and "Jue Ji"...

But he also doesn't think that audiences who like his movies are more advanced than those who like Guo Xiaosi's movies...

As for "Girl Nezha"...

Read the script and know what it means: telling the different life trajectories of two little girls...

One is very rebellious, does not admit his feelings, and finally commits suicide - cutting flesh to return his father to his mother, and the other is grinding off his edges and corners to get on the right track...

But after the movie was made, Jinnyima didn't understand...

Including Li Xiaofeng's second work "Pursuit", in fact, the story is not well told, a crime film, there is no sharp temperament at all!

The reason why Shen Ming didn't take "Calm Waves" is because of his distrust of the director's ability...

But his script and creativity are very good...

Especially "Calm Waves", that book is amazing!

Then saw the edited movie...

He... He didn't understand!

Shen Ming has read the script, and he has mastered the context and logic of the whole story, just like that, he hasn't been able to understand "Calm Waves"...

"What did you shoot? Did you shoot according to the script?"

"I gave you Zhang Yu, Song Jia, Wang Yanhui, and Chen Jing, and you just took this thing out to fool around?"

"Do you know how much the movie costed?"

“… Do you know what 60 million is?"

"200 million to pay back!"

“… Don't say it's banned for you, can you find a publisher just like you are now?"

Shen Ming scolded directly...

He is also one of the investors...

……

At this stage, the relationship between Chinese film creation and the market is in nine words: don't fool, don't be intoxicated, shoot with heart;

However, many directors really can't do these nine words!

But as long as the basic skills are sufficient, with today's market capacity, the box office is guaranteed to exceed 300 million.

"I'm also responsible, when he made the movie, I didn't watch from the sidelines, and let him play freely... I really didn't expect it to be cut like this in the later stage!"

"Brother Bo, the current market is different from before, although word-of-mouth and box office are directly proportional, it also depends on the attributes of the movie. ”

Shen Ming was still a little resentful: "Just now, I watched it once and didn't understand it, the characters just appeared out of thin air, so you can't make some conventional narratives? A good murder incident, you can go backwards, you can narrate, and even multi-line narrative, but you can't completely disrupt the timeline, messy narrative, people who don't know anything about spatial modeling or environmental vocabulary, don't talk about any image realism, people must live in the environment!"

"So, let him make up the shots, and we'll re-edit..."

Shen Ming waved his hand: "You can't start this, if there are directors who do this in the future, then let's just wipe people's butts!"

Ming Tsai can understand Huang Bo, and he feels a pity, because the actor's performance is really good.

In fact, Shen Ming himself thinks that the actors in this play perform really well, but the movie is space, environment, situation, emotion...

It shouldn't just be a show!

Anyway, he won't spend another penny for this movie!

Li Xiaofeng is not a rookie director anymore, he already has two feature-length works!

"Such a good script has been ruined!"

“… Too self-expressive..."

"Forget it, let's talk about something else, how about "Chinese Women's Volleyball"?"

"I don't have time to talk to you, I have to go to Ahri's people and ask them to pay some more money!"

That's right, Bo Ge is a producer...

He's got to be in charge of the show being able to get out – it's definitely not going to work now!

As for the investment of Minghui's company, it is better to leave it to Dante and them to be responsible...

According to Shen Ming's understanding of Dante, he will only symbolically invest 500,000 at most...

……

On January 15, Shen Ming returned to Shanghai.

Before he could rest, he was called to the company by Dante.

This year's financial statements are a bit scary – close to 2 billion!

"Why are there so many?"

Shen Ming took the report with a little surprise - the investments in "La La Land" and "Joker" are all his own, not counting the company's bills.

"The periphery of "Nezha" has earned 300 million!"

“… Wouldn't it?"

Shen Ming took a serious look, and sure enough, the genuine T-shirts, canvas bags, and dolls of "Nezha", including cooperation with other toy manufacturers, made a lot of money...

"It's a pity that "Jiang Ziya" is still authorized later, and Guangxian Media wants to do it with us!"

“… It would be nice to let you take advantage of it once!"

After "Nezha", Lao Wang really decided to engage in the God Universe...

"Jiang Ziya", maybe this is Ya'er's fate...

Ahem...

The box office of this movie broke 300 million, and Shen Ming had to make money!

In fact, when investing, Shen Ming is more optimistic about "Jiang Ziya", because its directors Cheng Teng and Li Wei are both very experienced animation directors, one works at DreamWorks, and the other is the executive director of "Big Fish and Begonia" and "Baolian Lantern"...

It's just that I didn't expect "Nezha" to break out!

Now, I'm not very optimistic - the story of this movie is not a god, but after being a god, Jiang Ziya's mana disappeared, was spurned by the world, and then regained himself...

It has nothing to do with the 'God Universe' at all!
