There is a question on Zhihu: Is it possible for Brother Chen Kai to make a good movie?

This is really the opinion of the benevolent, the wise and the wise!

Putting aside "Farewell My Concubine", in the past ten years, whether it is "Wuji", "Search", "Taoist Descending the Mountain", or "The Legend of the Demon Cat", the production quality is not low, but the box office is not too good.

I have to explain that I don't have any preconceptions about things like "Iron Fist of Shame" and "Pancake Man", because these are purely commercial films for money.

Director Chen still has his own artistic pursuits!

It's a pity that the time that belongs to him has passed!

However, Kai Ye will definitely be able to come up with something new that makes people change!

After all, the accumulation is there, and the humanistic qualities are there. Something made by a visionary person may not be awesome, but it certainly has a new feeling. It's awesome to be able to do a new look in this era!

In the final analysis, China is an identity society, and when it comes to the upper class, it is not easy to come down, and if you are used to using the caviar with swallow abalone fin truffle all day long, you don't know much about the benefits of refreshing stir-fried dishes with shredded pork with green peppers.

When the big directors are on the table, the shelf will be bigger, and the weather will be bigger.

When the weather is big, it is inevitable to have a little bit of self-sacrificing strength.

But it's a pity that the audience in this era is used to being relaxed, and Profound will never buy it, and if you play Deep, you can't play yourself in the nineties, so why bother?

In the past, movies were very niche, and an elite knew the taste of the marrow and vigorously promoted it, and then word-of-mouth drove the market, and the market promoted word-of-mouth, which was a slow heat.

Now, they are all aiming at the market, shooting out and cutting a few dazzling films, a round of explosion, and stun the audience.

The times are more impetuous than Kai Ye himself, so even if he has the foundation to make a good movie, I'm afraid the market can't wait!

It should really be on par with Lao Mouzi, Lao Tzu doesn't care about the market, "One Second", Zhang Yimou's version of "Heavenly Sky Cinema"...

……

Released on December 4th, it is exactly eight days before "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", and you must not let "Mei Lanfang" affect the box office of "If You Are Sincere"!

Tang Ningyu asked very seriously: "How is the word-of-mouth of "Mei Lanfang"?"

"It is said that China Film is very optimistic..."

Can you not be optimistic?

What about an investment of 100 million!

The theme of Peking Opera is definitely Brother Chen Kai's best theme, and "Farewell My Concubine" is this theme!

Probably China Film also hopes to regain the glory of the last century!

"Do you want to discredit Brother Chen Kai?"

"No," Zhang Junsheng walked in while chewing the fritters in his hand: "Movies like "Mei Lanfang" are literary films, and the box office will not be too high, let's follow the established route..."

was sober-minded, Zhang Junsheng didn't take "Mei Lanfang" in his eyes at all.

Half a classic...

What's the use?

In the era of commercial films, classics don't work, and being able to sell for money is the last word!

changed the topic: "When will "Sword and Fairy III" be broadcast?"

"Well, it's supposed to be March next year..."

"Well, Liang Fan is very good, let Sister Wang sign her, by the way, can "Inception" be made into a co-production?"

“… It's a little difficult, let's try!"

According to the General Administration, the "three principles" of Sino-foreign co-productions are: they must be filmed in China, the amount of Chinese investment is not less than 1/3, and there is at least one Chinese starring actor.

The summit invested 80 million US dollars, Yuehua invested 30 million US dollars...

Whether the investment at the top is considered a mainland investment is debatable...

"With a little more sponsorship, drinks, clothing, and China Mobile can all appear in the movie! In addition, if China Film wants to invest, it can also let them join!"

"However, if they invest, it is not easy to calculate the account..."

"Then give them the mainland box office is revenue, $40 million!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng explained: "What we want is distribution!"

“… Got it. ”

A couple of high-ups shut up...

Yuehua's several large-scale decisions were basically Zhang Junsheng's ideas, and everyone was very convinced of him!

"Old Tang, did "Mei Lanfang" send us an invitation to the premiere?"

“… It's gone, are you going?"

"Of course I want to go, I also want to see what is special about the literary film that is claimed to be shot with 100 million!"

……

Every year, the Chinese New Year file is a gluttonous feast for the domestic film industry!

A large number of well-made movies are rushing to be released, such as "Ip Man", which tests the waters for the New Year, and "Wolf Teeth", which was released by Huaxia Film Company, on December 1.

Frankly speaking, Zhen Dan is not a first-line action star, before "Ip Man", the best box office in the mainland was "Dragon Tiger Gate", 49 million, and then "Fuse" 39 million...

The light didn't invest much in publicity, and probably felt that the box office of "Ip Man" was at most 50 million...

No one expected that "Ip Man" suddenly broke out, and on the second day of its release, the box office directly reached 18 million...

This is the rhythm of breaking Yida!

It can only be said that in recent years, there has been a lack of action movies in the domestic film industry that can touch the people's G-spot!

By the time Ip Man in "Ip Man" defeated the audience's imaginary enemy, he had become a perfect symbol of religion through and through.

The national sentiment of the masses was stirred up, and irrepressible passions spread in the chest.

We give us a standing ovation, we raise our arms and shout, we immerse ourselves in the YY of a perfect image, as if our own bodies are merging with the great personality of the national hero, even though in reality it is nothing more than an illusion.

Of course, the film itself is very good, both civil and military.

In the first half of the battle, the battle with Master Liao of Taishan Hall was bloodless, and the small climax appeared in the battle between Ip Man and Shandong Dahan Jinshan, the fierceness of the northern fist and the ingenuity of the southern fist collided together, rubbing out dazzling sparks, which can be described as wonderful.

It was after the Japanese invasion that he really entered a state that was enough to affect the emotions of the audience.

Before that, even if Master Liao hid the needle in his hand, we actually all knew that on the territory of Foshan, Ip Man could undoubtedly turn everything into a light breeze without moving.

After the Japanese attacked, the advantage of guns and guns was far better than the power of fists and feet, and no matter how good the skills were, they became water without a source. In a one-on-one situation, Ip Man can naturally unload Li Zhao's revolver with a joke, but is he capable of facing the entire army?

If the background of martial arts films is in ancient times, it can naturally be whimsical and arbitrary, and if it is in modern times, the choices are more diverse, you can gag or play ruthlessly.

The most embarrassing thing is the kung fu movies in the modern background, and only the main theme of resisting foreign humiliation is left in the cracks - and China's tragic modern history is doomed, and the victory of individuals against foreign warriors can only be a Q-style spiritual victory.

The climax scene of "Ip Man" is to defeat the Japanese samurai, and the climax scene of "Jingwu Heroes" is also to defeat the Japanese samurai.

Zhen has been stumbling for decades, and finally ushered in his masterpiece!

Congratulations!

Director Kai Geda chose to release "Mei Lanfang" when "Ip Man" was gaining momentum, I really don't know what kind of considerations it was...
