Chapter 5: The Blockbuster Era
No one knows who Huang Feihong is, and everyone is an expert in the film industry, and they all know that it is a taboo in the industry to inquire indiscriminately before other people's movies are made, so after a moment of silence, Liu Chengzhang reminded a few words, "The situation of martial arts films in recent years has not been too good, and the audience is tired of watching it, if you want to shoot, you must shoot something new."

Everyone else was silent, not seeming to know what to say.
For Liu Chengzhang's kind reminder, Li Qian smiled and nodded in agreement.
Hearing that Li Qian already had his exact arrangements, and even looked like the script had been completed, Hu Fei and Qin Wei invariably flashed a slight disappointment on their faces.
However, after all, one of the two of them is a predator in the industry, and the other is the supreme in the industry, although there is disappointment, this little thing, but it is not how to take it to heart, Hu Fei smiled at the moment: "Then we have to pay attention to the big sale of the new film!" After that, he raised his cup, and everyone responded one after another, holding the cup, wishing Li Qian's new film a big hit.
Li Qian naturally thanked him.
After everyone drank and sat down, Hu Fei said again: "It's just ...... It's a pity. I thought that your last movie had just been released, and you would definitely have to take a break, so I wanted to pull you over and have a perfect match with our Uncle Qin!"
Li Qian smiled noncommittally when he heard this.
Looking at the expressions of Liu Chengzhang and Ming Xiaojing, a few of them who were close to Qin Wei and Hu Fei, it seemed that they had already known something in advance, but he didn't take the initiative to ask, but said: "There will be a chance in the future, wait for next time, I will also go to Director Qin's 'prison' for half a year." ”
Everyone laughed.
Qin Wei, known as "Uncle Qin", also known as "Master Qin", has many nicknames such as "Big Prison", "Heavenly Prison", "Class Room", "Trumpet" and so on.
Hearing this at this time, Qin Wei also smiled reservedly.
At this time, everyone was full of food and drink, and the cigarette ash on the cigarette roll in Qin Wei's hand was two centimeters long, but he didn't mean to play a flick of the cigarette ash, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "You also want to make martial arts films, okay, martial arts films are indeed going downhill, but in my opinion, if our domestic films want to take the road of commercial production, martial arts must be the best choice." That's good, let's shoot it, this year is Chengzhang's "Sword Fairy", next year I will watch your "Huang Feihong", mine ...... Strive to be released next year, let's join forces to redo martial arts, only in this way, only by doing a good job of martial arts films is the foundation for us to fight against Hollywood blockbusters, otherwise, we can only let people come in and collect the box office!"
Li Qian's heart moved and his brows furrowed when he heard this.
Liu Chengzhang seemed to be very helpless, rubbed his nose, and said: "I'm not called a martial artist, I'm a fairy!"
Qin Wei didn't even look at him, and said: "You are martial arts, no matter how gorgeous your clothes are, you are martial arts in your roots!"
Liu Chengzhang was speechless, but he didn't say anything more.
He is an introverted and proud person, of course he is not satisfied with the concept of "Xianxia" that he worked so hard to create, and he was beaten back to his original shape with a stick so lightly, but it is obvious that he is also a person who is not very good at verbal competition, and in the final analysis, Qin Wei is the boss of the domestic director circle after all, although Liu Chengzhang already has a domestic film box office champion work in hand, in front of a generation of grandmasters like Qin Wei, who is internationally famous, he still has a little lack of confidence.
So, he simply stopped talking.
At this time, after hesitating for a moment, Cao Zhan took the initiative to ask: "Director Qin's new film, also want to shoot martial arts?"
Qin Wei nodded, although there was a little smile on his face, his expression was full of flying energy, and when he heard this, he replied: "Make a martial arts, make a blockbuster, and do it with Hollywood films!"
Hearing the word "blockbuster", Cao Zhan turned his head to look at Li Qian, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Just a few days ago, Cao Zhan took his wife to visit Zhou Yan and his wife, and they sat and chatted together, and when it came to this year's work arrangement, the two took the opportunity to chat about the current situation of the domestic film industry.
At that time, Li Qian once said that maybe in two years, several big directors who had been making literary films would also change and start to make big investments and make commercial productions.
When Cao Zhan heard this, he hesitated in his heart and didn't dare to believe it, but who would have thought, it had only been a few days, and Qin Wei's side had really revealed this meaning!
At this time, hearing this, Li Qian sighed in his heart, but nodded again.
In short, the development of the times is like this, as the so-called time is also the trend.
Around 2000 in another time and space, a group of big domestic directors also began to transform into commercial productions, the reason for this is that you say that those big directors are watching the film market so lively, watching others make a lot of money, or saying that they are the backbone of domestic films, and they are unwilling to see foreign films entering the country to make money, in short, there are various reasons.
The development of the economy and the prosperity of the film market have made this market bigger and bigger, and the art film atmosphere at that time when the country was weak and the people's micro market was small will inevitably be washed away by the surging commercial atmosphere, which is the inevitable law of market development, and no one can stop it.
Only those who conform to it can survive and progress.
Of course, judging from the history of film development in another time and space, Zhang Guoshi has a mixed reputation, although after taking the lead in opening the blockbuster era of domestic films, his film reputation has always been on a downward trend, but I have to admit that he still contributed a lot to the commercial production process of domestic films, as for the other one, he is really completely unable to grasp the way of commercial films, and gradually sank in one surprising bad movie after another, and later even became synonymous with bad movies.
In the current time and space, Qin Wei's status and representative significance in the film industry are inferior to Zhang Guoshi in another time and space, and he announced that he would enter commercial productions, in a sense, it may also represent the era of domestic blockbusters, which is about to begin?
Of course, in fact, it has been opened a long time ago.
Du Weiyun is still making this movie, and it is said that the investment is as high as 60 million, which is already an absolute big investment in the domestic film market, not to mention Liu Chengzhang's "Sword Immortal".
And Hu Fei and Zhou Yanghua have always been opposites, Zhou Yanghua spent 60 million yuan for Du Weiyun to make a blockbuster, presumably on his side, he will never be willing to live under others.
In contrast, Zhao Meicheng's investment in each film in recent years can be controlled at about 20 million, and the highest does not exceed 30 million.
The leading bosses of the domestic film industry have devoted themselves to commercial productions, whether it is right or wrong? No one can say for sure. Will they succeed in the transformation smoothly, or will they have to fall a few heels to slowly understand what commercial production is?
But after all, this is the general trend of historical development, and no one can change it!
Whether it is this time and space, or the time and space that used to be, this kind of transformation in response to the requirements of the changing times may have labor pains, and there may be people who can't keep up with the development of the times and will sink, but in any case, in the end, it will definitely win, and it must win!
Because the Chinese, the favorite thing to watch, must be the story of the Chinese.
