Chapter 316 Receiving a lot of help

The morning after Peng Yichen was interviewed by reporters at the gate of the company.

Major domestic newspapers and major portals on the Internet published relevant news, and fans across the country were shocked by Peng Yichen's "lofty ambition".

Peng Yichen's Oscar declaration, the best foreign language film has arrived. ”

Peng Yichen never thought that Hollywood movies were anything great, and participating in the Oscars was a chance for them to learn. ”

"Let them see how a good movie should be made and what a good performance should be?—— Peng Yichen went to the Oscar declaration. ”

You must know that Peng Yichen is in China, and under the pressure that everyone is not optimistic, it is not once or twice that he finally succeeds.

Although his movies were not favored by everyone almost every time before they were released. But the end result was that he was successful again and again.

In terms of movies, Peng Yichen has the honorary title of "Miracle Maker".

Even if he said that he wanted to shoot an unpopular movie like a horror movie, everyone actually believed that he could achieve amazing box office results in the Chinese film market.

After all, I have questioned so many times before, and the person who is not questioning this time will also have a painful face.

Peng Yichen is now a dignified "billion-dollar director", and in terms of box office results, if anyone still doubts him, it is unless it is Shenjing Bing.

But this time it's completely different, this horror movie is going to be released in North America, not just in China.

Chinese filmmakers have never had a precedent for success in the North American film market.

Even Li An, a Hollywood first-line director, has never achieved any amazing results in the North American film market in terms of box office.

What's even more crazy is that Peng Yichen not only wants to succeed at the box office in the North American film market this time, but also wants to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film......

This is an award voted for by the filmmakers of the Star Flag Country.

Who can pack tickets for their own film to win the award?

Even Hollywood's most arrogant "God" director Cameron did not dare to say that.

Moreover, among the films shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, only one of them actually won the award, and the probability of winning the award is very low.

The only one that won the best foreign language film is also considered by many people to be a Hollywood literary film made with the skin of Chinese martial arts, and Chinese fans have a very poor evaluation of this movie.

It can be said that over the years, Chinese filmmakers have admitted a 'fact', that is, Chinese films are inherently unsuitable in the North American film market.

People with star flags and Chinese people can't look down on your Chinese culture.

In the Internet era, the speed of news circulation is the fastest, and Peng Yichen's unbelievable arrogant declaration made the Chinese people who advocate low-key and modesty were taken aback.

Many media that have been constantly slapped in the face by Peng Yichen before finally seized the opportunity this time and published a large number of articles to make all kinds of cynicism about Peng Yichen's arrogance.

A review article was published, saying:

"Perhaps Peng Yichen is the most box office appeal director in the mainland, but there is little hope that he can make a classic horror movie and be recognized by the North American film market.

Perhaps he thinks of himself as a 'god', and this time he will not only conquer the North American film market with horror films.

He also wants to win an Academy Award with a Chinese main theme movie.

But he forgot that the main theme movie of Huaxia is not the main theme movie of Hollywood......

Mainland directors and actors have never won an Oscar once.

We can't help but want to ask, is Peng Yichen too confident or too arrogant?"

Online film critics also commented: "This is the most outrageous of all Peng Yichen's declarations." He wanted to conquer the North American film market with horror movies, and he shouted the declaration of winning the Oscar early.

Although I can understand Peng Yichen's idea that he needs to promote his new film.

But the attitude he showed was too unrealistic, and it was a bottomless attempt to stir up the national sentiment of Chinese fans, and this kind of propaganda method was disgusting. ”

Of course, no matter how much the media and film critics are not optimistic about Peng Yichen, his fans still firmly support him.

In the past 5 years, Peng Yichen has shot movies that are classics in the hearts of fans.

Again and again it has achieved amazing box office success.

Therefore, in the minds of fans, Peng Yichen is a miracle of 'omnipotence'.

And this time, Peng Yichen's declaration that he wants to conquer the North American film market and conquer the Oscars made them very excited, and they didn't think that Peng Yichen could do these things at all.

Because Peng Yichen is no longer simply an idol in their hearts, he is the representative of the top level of Chinese films, and he is synonymous with classic movies.

When he was successful with only one movie, he dared to compete against Hollywood blockbusters in the Chinese New Year, and challenged CCTV Group and Hollywood Film Company in the summer file.

Up to now, he has even changed the entire film ecology of China and has become the first "billion-dollar box office director" in China.

If others say that he conquered North America and conquered the Oscars, fans will definitely call him crazy.

But Peng Yichen said that he is confident that he will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and conquer the North American film market, is there anything wrong with this?

There is no problem, fans unconditionally believe Peng Yichen's bold words.

Because Peng Yichen has never let them down.

It's like a Chinese science fiction movie, but when Peng Yichen announced that he was going to make a science fiction movie, they all looked forward to Peng Yichen being able to reverse the situation.

However, now Peng Yichen has said: Chinese actors and directors are not inferior to Hollywood actors and directors, although fans support him, but they have little confidence in other Chinese directors and actors.

As a result, fans split into two factions, and their views were diametrically opposed.

One school of thought believes that the directors and actors in China are not as good as Hollywood in terms of professionalism as a whole, which is caused by the cultural environment and the film market environment.

One faction believes that China's top directors and actors are no worse than Hollywood's, but now the development of China's film industry is relatively backward, and there is no support for the mature film industry environment for these directors and actors.

But Peng Yichen's views have been supported by almost all Chinese actors and directors.

The famous actress Zhou Jing, when attending a fan meeting, was interviewed by reporters and was asked what she thought of Peng Yichen's words.

This Chinese first-line actress said very directly:

"I don't think there is any gap between actors in China and other countries, maybe we can't act in that kind of movie, but Hollywood actors can't act in such movies either.

Our culture is just not promoted and not understood by most of the people in the Star Flag Nation of the world. It's not that our films are worse than theirs."

Jiang Wen, who has the most straightforward temper, said directly when asked this question by reporters again:

"Is there anything wrong with what Chenzi said? There are many actors in Huaxia whose acting skills far exceed the so-called Oscar winners.

People who think that Chinese actors have bad acting skills should go and watch our Renyi's dramas. I've watched movies, TV, plays, and plays all over the world. But I always feel that in terms of performance level alone, there is no one in the world who can surpass Teacher So. ”

To everyone's surprise, Peng Yichen also received the support of many great Chinese directors.

Wu Yusen, who is preparing for filming, also expressed his opinion on Peng Yichen's statement that "Chinese directors and actors are no worse than Hollywood" in an interview with a TV station.

"Director Peng Yichen is a person who dares to think, dare to say and do.

In fact, I have worked in Hollywood for so many years, and I have long felt that our directors and actors are not much different from them. It's just that I haven't had the courage to say it.

The reason why Chinese films have not been able to gain the attention of the international film market is, to put it bluntly, just a problem left over from history.

Since modern times, China has been a weak country for a long time, and its cultural influence has greatly declined.

In the past decade, with the growth of China's national strength, our culture has attracted more and more attention from the world.

Therefore, I believe that in the future, our directors and actors will be able to make classic movies that are recognized by fans all over the world. ”

And when the same question was put in front of Zhao Jianguo, who was also Peng Yichen's teacher and friend, his answer was even more profound, and he commented:

"I can't be sure who has better acting skills between Chinese actors and Hollywood actors, and I don't know who has better directing ability, whether you say Chinese directors or Hollywood directors.

But one thing I do know is that if our crews and sets, our post-production and special effects production, can reach the level of professionalism that Hollywood has. Chinese domestic films have long dominated the world. ”

The controversy triggered by Peng Yichen swept the whole of China.

Whether it's attending a premiere, a ribbon cutting in a shopping mall, or an advertising campaign, reporters will ask all the actors and stars the same questions.

The result was surprisingly unanimous, although everyone is not sure whether the "billion-dollar director" will win the Oscar and conquer the North American film market as he wishes.

But on the issue of "who is better between Chinese and Hollywood actors and directors", without exception, they all support Peng Yichen.

For a long time, in the Chinese film circle, the theory of Hollywood superiority that has been circulating seems to have disappeared in the past few days.

The actors and directors of Huaxia are holding their breath, hoping that Peng Yichen can create a miracle again this time and fiercely fight back against the media and audiences who look down on filmmakers in their own country.

In the circle, Peng Yichen, who has always been extremely low-key, finally made his voice heard to everyone this time.

Whether he can successfully break into Hollywood and enter the North American film market is no longer his personal matter before he knows it. It has become the common hope and sustenance of the entire Chinese filmmakers.
