Chapter 156: Battle of Words (4/5)

Be careful?

What do you mean?

Can he still eat me?

Zhang Junsheng was a little puzzled, but still replied very respectfully: "I haven't had time to see it yet..."

"Can't Do Without You" is known as a very 'New Wave style' film.

According to Taiwanese media: "Daley Shinobu said that he chose black and white images as the visual style of "Can't Do Without You" to let the audience focus on the storyline itself, but my experience was gray: dove-gray sky, silver-gray clouds, black-gray seawater, fluorescent gray streets, and gray people, gray grease on clothes, gray smiles on faces, and many helpless gray expressions. ”

"Can't do without you" is a bit like the restrained self-control of Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda in "Nobody Knows", all through the sense of landscape light and the emotional rhythm of the soundtrack, as if overflowing from people's hearts, natural and innocent. ”

"Can't Do Without You" has guarded the tradition of Taiwanese literary films, and continues to focus on marginalized social figures. However, the film does not have the self-talking atmosphere of the previous Taiwanese literary films, and the entire social ecology has become an important element to promote the development of the plot. Despite the film's strong dramatic conflict, "Can't Do Without You" focuses on Lee Moo-shiung's efforts after being forced to separate from his daughter, and he continues to work without giving up the search, portraying a grassroots self-esteem and perseverance. Taken together, "Can't Do Without You" is a commercial film that breaks the commercial film model!"

And then, the box office is NT$4.91 million...

How many Taiwanese people are said to have been moved, the question is just moved, and the box office only contributed 4.91 million, which is a good result?

Compared with the box office of 53.77 million in the tenth best-selling "Night at the Museum 2" in 09?

Taiwan media itself said: "In fact, this kind of social tragedy realistic film, you don't have to shoot it, you have the money to set up a charity fund, you can help the poor fight lawsuits, why not?"

You see, the Taiwanese media like to fight with themselves!

"Haven't you seen 'Can't Live Without You'?"

“… I've never been interested in marginal films!"

Wang Tong sneered: "I heard that mainland directors are very modest and polite, but today it seems to be the opposite, you are ignorant and vain at a young age, if you don't understand art films, don't come here to expose your shortcomings." ”

“… Walter?"

Zhang Junsheng was a little confused...

I don't understand the art of film?

Lao Tzu has won the Palme d'Or, won the Golden Bear, you say I don't understand film art?

Wang Tong turned his face to Hou Xiaoxian next to him and said: "I just said that young people don't understand movies! This Zhang Junsheng, I know, for filmmakers like him, movies may just be a tool to make money..."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong said in an elder's tone: "Most young directors are uncertain, how to cater to the market, they like to do what they like, in order to please the audience, they dare to shoot any plot! The audience likes crime stories, so he made up a fictional "Crazy Stone", and the audience pays attention to eroticism, so he shoots "A Chinese Ghost Story"... Anyway, he will shoot whatever he wants to make money, Director Zhang, you are not very old, and there is a saying that is contrary to your words, but you must also say that filmmakers should have their own dignity! Otherwise, they are just businessmen in the garb of directors!"

Hou Xiaoxian is a little embarrassed...

Zhang Junsheng came to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, and he also made a lot of efforts, in a sense, Zhang Junsheng belongs to the guests...

How can the host blame the guest?

As for Wang Tong, Hou Xiaoxian would never dare to offend!

This gentleman has been a member of parliament, known for his eloquence, hard background, good eloquence, he can't afford to offend, and most importantly, he has a good pen, and his influence in the media industry far exceeds that of other directors.

Wang Tong advocated the so-called "blockade of Taiwan's literary and artistic films", calling on all directors in the industry to dig out these degenerate forms of commercial films, which is a well-known thorn in the industry...

He opposes commercial films, opposes the star system, in short, all movies that can make money, he is against it!

Hong Kong films, Wang Tong said that they have a bad taste.

In the era of mainland blockbusters, Wang Tong despised them for disrespecting the art of film.

All the directors in the Chinese area are still cheeky and openly claim to be the last barrier to film art...

The most depressing thing is that this person still has a bunch of huddles...

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "I don't agree with the old man's words, the film industry has always been business king, and the box office comes first." Vigorously developing commercial genre films is the foundation of the prosperity of Chinese films. Art films can only be embellishments!"

"Since the director wants to make a movie, the first thing he needs to face is the audience, and he will guide the audience in different regions with different themes, instead of taking other people's shots and only what he likes! The audience likes comedies, and you have to make tragedies, this is not ruining the film industry? The director should invest his preferences in simple terms, and on this basis, he is guiding the audience, and this is what a serious director should do!"

"If every director is like you, he doesn't think about how to make movies every day, but instead points fingers at all filmmakers, regardless of place or crowd, he takes a subject he likes to the highest standard, suppresses others and elevates himself, and when no one likes to watch it, you scold others for having no taste, which is no different from a shrew!"

"I've always wondered why Taiwanese films have always flaunted the New Wave, but in the huge Chinese region, from Taiwan to Hong Kong, the mainland, and Singapore, there are more than 100 film companies, and none of them dares to invest in you, why is this?"

"After listening to your opinion on the movie, now I understand, you guys are too artistic!"

Do you really think Zhang Junsheng doesn't dare to scare people?

Respect for the elderly does not mean respect for the elderly!

“… The Golden Horse Awards will never be awarded to a director like you who only knows how to promote commercial films!"

Zhang Junsheng glanced at him with a little pity: "... I'm only now understanding what it means to be arrogant, do you really think I care about the Golden Horse Awards?"

"Little globe, a few flies hit the wall. Buzzing, a few poignant, a few sobbing. Ants boast of a big country, and it is easy for a mayfly to shake a tree!"

turned his head and left directly, regardless of Hou Xiaoxian's blackened face - he is also a filmmaker who can't attract investment in Zhang Junsheng's mouth...

The market is the most realistic, if you lose money, no one will ask you to make a film. Even if it's famous, it's still the same.

The capital market has a profit-seeking nature!

Not to mention Hou Xiaoxian, even Kurosawa is the same, he has no fame and can't attract investment!

After Akira Kurosawa's filming of "City Without Seasons" failed at the box office, it was difficult to attract investment easily.

In the end, he went to the Soviet Union to return to the film industry.

The same is true for Hou Xiaoxian, whose 2001 film "The Name of the Millennium Mambo Rose" has French funding;

In 2003, "Coffee Time" Japanese funds entered;

By 2007, he simply used French actress Juliette Binoche to make a French film "Trip to the Red Balloon", and the funds were of course French.

During this time, he almost avoided overseas, and used overseas money, overseas actors, and overseas markets to open up a way to survive overseas...

Why use overseas funds?

Nonsense, no one among the locals dares to invest!
