Chapter 701: I smiled at the sky
If Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige and others are representatives of old filmmakers in Chinese mainland, then Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Shen Teng are the new generation and new hope.
The common characteristics of veteran filmmakers such as Feng Xiaogang are that they pay more attention to resources and qualifications. In the era when they succeeded, all the media were the mouthpieces of the government, and as long as they knew the people in the most critical positions, they could easily get things done. The filmmakers of this period were usually not afraid to offend the people, and their basic plate was not the people.
As long as they know someone from a certain channel, someone from a certain bureau, the top script owners will find them, and they just need to shoot something, and there is a powerful producer when filming, and finally there is a super cut, and the thing is at least "sophisticated".
This group of people is easy to be conceited, strictly speaking, their own image is detached from the public, and the things they shoot are not so down-to-earth. After carefully observing some people, Tang Juexiao could see the imprint of the times on them.
New filmmakers Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Shen Teng and others, when they first began to emerge, the Internet had already come out. Although the self-media did not appear, the speed of online information transmission is too fast, and many contents do not fall within the scope of control, so they will not be controlled.
Most of the filmmakers of this generation do not have a strong background, and they are really killed among the armies. They are stronger in themselves, and they know how to manage people, or they have excellent quality, they are the "market economy", and the old-school ones belong to the "planned economy".
On TV, Xu Zheng was wearing a white shirt and chatting with Yingluck, who praised that "Thailand" has been watched more than 40 million times, more than Chinese who travel to Thailand every year, congratulations to "Thailand" for its current achievements, and thanks to Xu Zheng for promoting Thailand.
Xu Zheng's feelings...... Very coping.
Dressed to deal with, I didn't wear formal clothes seriously, just a white shirt, the collar was still messy, and the sleeves were rolled up...... Is this what it is like to dress when talking to a country's leader?
At this time, there was already a problem with Thailand's famous rice incident, and the situation would soon expand, Tang Juexiao estimated that Xu Zheng was either behind someone to point out or he had a keen political sense. His current casualness and lack of seriousness seem to be the result of deliberate and serious thinking, because it is too abnormal.
Watching TV with Fu Mengyao at home, the eldest lady ate tomatoes as fruits, pointed to the TV and said: "The box office of 1.3 billion is terrible enough, and now I actually meet with the leader of a country, Brother Xu's influence is not said!"
Tang Juexiao smiled: "You didn't find Xu Zheng...... Doesn't seem so reluctant?"
"Are you saying that Thailand has to move a few more leaders before he is willing?"
“???”
Coincidentally, the mobile phone rang, Tang Juexiao took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and said: "Congratulations, congratulations! Mr. Xu's self-written, directed, and self-starred movies are a big hit, and in the future, Mr. Xu, you will be the first 1 billion box office Mr. in the mainland! Congratulations, a new generation of box office champion directors!"
"Where is it, Mr. Tang has a good reputation, it's not a matter of more money and less money, it's the responsibility of comedians to make a Chinese New Year comedy that the audience loves, at that time, I just wanted to make everyone laugh during the Spring Festival, and I didn't think about the box office. ”
The voice is still the voice of "Brother Pig", but the title is no longer Brother Zheng and Xiao Tang's classmates many years ago, but has become Mr. Xu and Mr. Tang......
Fu Mengyao watched Tang Juexiao answer the phone, and felt that time passed so fast, the vicissitudes of life, and the time changed......
Tang Juexiao gently stroked the cat with one hand and held the phone with the other: "Mr. Xu called, did he want to invite me to the celebration banquet?"
"Please, I'm going to please!, but there's another big thing, I want to ask Mr. Tang if you're willing to help?"
Tang Juexiao said: "I am willing to make money." ”
"Money can definitely be made, but the most important thing in this matter is to expose social chaos and make people reflect, but only the relationship on our side, the top is a little afraid to let go......"
Tang Juexiao was silent for a while: "No man's land?"
We really want to review this movie, this is a very educational movie, the content of Mr. Tang, you have heard of it before...... Now that the top is a little looser, maybe it will be released with more effort, is Mr. Tang willing to invest some money in post-revision?"
"You...... Wait for me to think about it, and I'll give you an answer in the evening. ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. Tang, you can think about it for a while, don't disturb the rest, and invite Mr. Tang to drink tea another day." ”
"Haha, let's talk another day. ”
Hanging up the phone, Tang Juexiao looked a little hesitant.
Old-school filmmakers have a point of view that they have to take turns making literary films and popcorn films, popcorn films are made to support their families, and literary films are made to win awards and edutainment.
In recent years, the focus of film and television has gradually shifted to political education, strictly speaking, any media.
The most typical thing is that the Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more boring, and the family reunion for the New Year is just trying to have a reunion dinner and watch TV, but as soon as the TV is turned on, the children who can only go home once a year after working part-time, and the old parents who stay at home and wait for their children for a whole year, turn on the TV, and the entertainment program is like watching a news broadcast......
The Spring Festival Gala in the past few years has made people laugh, and they can't talk about "edutainment", because they are not happy to watch. If people don't watch it, edutainment can't be realized.
Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment" restored popcorn to its purity, but his ability to entertain and educate also became stronger.
Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo's "Stone" has a box office of 20 or 30 million, satirizing social chaos and promoting positive energy. At the beginning of 2009, this team went on again to shoot "No Man's Land", which is China's first Great Northwest Highway movie, and it also exposes all kinds of chaos......
The result was not passed.
When I first filmed, it was no problem, although it was a little sensitive, but it revealed a lot of things, and exposing the chaos itself made sense.
Filmmakers make films that want to make society progress, to make people think better, just like Kafka said, if we read a book that can't slap us on the door of our heads and wake us up, then why should we read it?
The no-man's land was first reviewed, but in the second half of 2009, something happened that made Shaomin and Northwest China sensitive, and the no-man's land became unacceptable......
There must be a background to making TV movies in China, the background of "No Man's Land" is China Film Group, and Sanye's "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" can allow so many stars to perform for free, just like that, "No Man's Land" is still stuck, one card for three years, and every time it is handed in, it is said to be unqualified, but it does not say where it is unqualified.
Now that the term change is over, the new team is not yet familiar with the operation, so many people can make "No Man's Land" pass the review, and Xu Zheng is borrowing his strength.
In this era when everyone doesn't face up to the problem, although Tang Juexiao has converged his light, he is still regarded as the same kind by many newcomers, and he thinks that he is a tiger and wolf who can solve problems, but now he is dressed in sheepskin and pretending to be a herbivore......
"Is it an audit problem in no man's land?" Fu Mengyao asked.
"Yes. ”
"What do you think?"
"Just one "No Man's Land" can't represent anything, but liberating one "No Man's Land" is equivalent to liberating countless "No Man's Land". I support Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo, and I think they have a very positive side. ”
Although it is said that the liver and gallbladder are left in Kunlun...... But Tang Juexiao chose me to smile at the sky!
That night, Ye Xin called Xu Zheng's mobile phone and said that Shengtang Film and Television temporarily invested in shares to revise "No Man's Land".

[Suddenly I remembered, I seem to have blown through the financial world of the magic capital...... In addition, the gambling bar is gone......]
