Chapter 45: The Itinerary (Part 2)

Yang Lan changed people and interviewed Zhang Junsheng: "You seem to be very disgusted with literary films?"

“… No, I like to watch films like "The Color of Pomegranate" and "Red Balloon", and when I used to go to school, I especially admired those masters of literary films!"

"But your movie..."

"Worship is worship, things that are too literary are very niche, I don't want to be a niche director..."

Xu Jinglei said that the minority is also the public, and now it seems that the minority means that no one looks at it. Do you agree with that?"

"I agree very much, compared to the mainstream audience with a huge base, in the eyes of theaters that have to make themselves snobbish, niche means that no one watches. ”

The operation of the cinema chain needs money!

Many literary film directors, such as Wang Xiaoshuai, posted an article accusing "The Intruder" of not getting the film scheduled...

He said middle-aged and elderly audiences were excluded from cinemas. He complained about it.

However, a person's cultural consumption patterns are related to their youthful reserves. Today's generation of elderly people in China, who were only involved in various sports when they were young, how can they have the habit of going to the theater regularly?

You can't perfect your Godhood and ask for a lot of real money at the same time.

People who deliberately ignore current affairs are worthy of respect, but only if you are prepared to accept those costs, smile and shut up, and reap your own destiny instead of begging for mercy.

What to say that France stipulates that a film cannot exceed one-third of the number of seats in any one theater, etc...

Regardless of the current economic situation in Europe, so many art films are not selling.

If China does the same, there will be a bunch of countermeasures immediately: I will simply not release your films, and I will not even have the opportunity to take a day trip, so I will let the most profitable films divide the third equally.

It is not promoted in the early stage, and it is not promoted in the later stage.

To put it bluntly, he is reluctant to spend money, and in the end he can only cry poor on Weibo, and he still wants the theater to pay?

Why?

"Then why did you start supporting literary films now?"

“… They didn't do it deliberately, commerciality and artistry are the two pillars of the film industry, and Hollywood's global promotion is so strong, but they also focus on independent films. Yuehua's films are commercial enough, so we are now starting to tilt a little bit of resources into the literary aspect..."

……

I took a fifteen-minute break, and when I was about to end, I talked about "All-Channel Blocking Interference"...

"What does "Omnichannel Blocking Interference" mean?"

Liu Cixin explained: "How to say it, if you watch it, you will know, and in the end, the protagonist resolutely controls the space station and crashes into the sun along with his own life. The violent solar activity has affected the Earth's signal communication, causing [all-channel blocking interference], in fact, this is a term for electronic warfare!"

“… So, this movie is a war movie?"

"Almost..."

"I heard that the investment in this film is 800 million?"

Zhang Junsheng nodded: "Nearly 800 million, 68 countries and regions around the world will be released simultaneously!"

“… Do you like this work very much?"

"I read this book in 01, and in the end, the male protagonist drove the "Ten Thousand Years Yandi" spaceship into the sun, which caused a magnetic explosion. The warring sides returned to the pre-Marconi era, and the military superiority of the technological superior was negated. This kind of play that gives me a fulcrum, that I can block the whole earth, deeply shocked me back then! From that day on, I vowed to make this movie!"

"Of course, the plot must be modified somewhat, and we set the opponent as a robot army..."

"All-channel Blocking and Interference" was written in 1999, and the content is: NATO's full-scale invasion of China, the Russian steel torrent in the Far East, the war is losing and retreating, and the domestic form is in danger...

As an astronaut on the space station, the actor can be said to be the farthest away from the war and the safest individual, but the country is like a thunderous egg. My father fought hard, the female vote was martyred, and he had to participate in the war when he hated war the most. Resolutely control the space station and crash into the sun along with his own life. Intense solar activity has affected the Earth's signal communication, causing [all-channel blocking interference]. NATO's superiority in informatization has been weakened, and the war has been reversed.

What was the situation back then?

The embassy was bombed, and it was a great shame, and he broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach;

Two years later, the South China Sea collided with a plane, and he was so humiliated that he broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach;

Three years later, in the second Gulf War, can the war still be fought like this? Can I, the big Iraq, win?

Looking around, I couldn't find anyone who could be called a friend, and the enemy was so powerful that it was suffocating...

Gao Zu can really endure it!

I can't help it if I can't bear it, I can't beat it again...

Let's develop the economy first!

If it is filmed according to the original book, it is estimated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will stop it directly, so you can only set the opponent as a robot...

After that, the content is routine:

"Do you know anything about young directors nowadays?"

"I don't know much. ”

"If you were asked to give them some directorial advice, what would you say?"

“… There's nothing to say, I want to please the audience and then myself!"

……

Four hours later, Zhang Junsheng and Liu Cixin walked out of the TV station building...

Both of them talked a lot, some of them could be broadcast, some of them couldn't...

The mouth is dry, and the head is always turning, for fear of falling into the pit.

Yang Lan is a typical white left, he always likes to stand on the moral high ground, Da Liu doesn't care, anyway, he is in the science fiction circle, Zhang Junsheng is different, he knows his influence.

A lot of things have to be kept in the heart...

"Let's eat something first, there will be an interview with the scum waves in the evening!"

"All-channel Blocking and Interference", an investment of 800 million, even with "The Wandering Earth" in front, proves that big-budget commercial films can get high income, and Tamsui does not dare to take it lightly...

After all, the painting was also opened at the same time, and Fuji Xun spent three years to create "The Ferryman"...

Wang Jiawei + Zhang Jiajia + Liang Chaowei + Jin Chengwu.

Such a combination is enviable!

In fact, it stands to reason that "The Ferryman" should not be released at the same time as "All Channel Blocking Interference", which is not in the best interest...

But that's what they did!

Probably want to step on Yuehua to take the top...

Hehe, what confidence!

Da Liu didn't speak, and after getting into the car, he closed his eyes and rested...

He's also a little tired...

Zhang Junsheng also closed his eyes.

An Shaoyang suddenly spoke: "... By the way, Mr. Liu, "Country Teacher", we have adapted it into an anime, do you want to watch it?"

"Anime?"

"Yes, and it's a sixty-minute anime, not a big movie!"

“… I won't watch it, Junsheng, do I have to follow the roadshow this time?"

"Do you have any other arrangements?"

“… That's not it, it's just a little too tired..."

Zhang Junsheng thought for a while and replied: "It depends, no, let's only be on a few TV shows..."
