Chapter 328: Myths in the Film Industry

Zhou Bai knew that his words would definitely cause controversy, but he himself had an indifferent attitude, after all, these are facts, and the big deal is to set off a debate, and it doesn't hurt to make "Hero" hot by the way.

At this stage, commercial films are even unpopular in the film industry, and those people who play movies are very strange, they don't like commercial films, but they are especially looking forward to a high box office, this kind of behavior is simply whimsical.

In the past, there have been a large number of movies with good quality, and more commercial elements have been explored in them, but unfortunately because of the infighting in the film industry, the most commercially conscious directors at that time were forced to have no scenes to film, and the exploration of some achievements that had already appeared was also broken, which cannot but be said to be a pity.

"I have always felt that there is a myth in the film industry now, the market is not good, so I desperately shoot literary films, as long as I can win awards, I can recover my investment, I can make a profit, whoever is tinkering with commercial films will be treated with all kinds of disdain, I think why are you so vulgar, full of copper smell, as if you will be struck by lightning when you stand together, I don't know why these people have this kind of mysterious confidence. ”

Chen Luyu's eyes were about to widen when she heard this, she didn't expect that Zhou Bai wouldn't brake at all when she said it, and she really dared to shoot at the things in the film industry, if she said these words, she might offend a group of people.

At the same time, she was very happy in her heart, what is this, these are all topics, as long as they are sent out, they will definitely cause heated discussions, and even the ratings will soar.

"But film is an art after all, and I think there should be nothing wrong with pursuing art, it may be that our industry is developing slowly, and we can't do it like abroad. Chen Luyu still helped Zhou Bai start a round, although the topic was very explosive, but she still admired Zhou Bai and didn't want to cause trouble.

"Yes, the speed of our industry development needs to be improved, and the current film market environment is not very good, but I still insist that only by shooting more commercial films and making more mature and successful commercial films can the market recover and come back to life, which is the responsibility of every filmmaker, everyone knows that the market is not good, and the most important thing is to change the concept and shoot more movies that are liked by the audience. ”

According to Zhou Bai's previous character, he would not speak so directly, and this trip also made him understand a lot of things, and sometimes there is no need to be taboo about some things.

"The movie you directed this year is a commercial film, what did you think about it at the time?" asked Chen Luyu.

"That movie will not meet the audience until next year, and it is still gradually completing post-production, and being a director is also a last resort, I really can't find a script that makes me happy, and the scripts sent over are all literary films, and they are not well written, and there is really no one I really like. So I simply went to shoot a low-cost commercial film by myself and tried a different position. Zhou Bai explained that "My Sassy Girlfriend" is his debut as a director, and there are very few people who don't know.

"Don't you don't like literary films very much? Everyone's aesthetics are different, and the requirements for works are also different, maybe these have not yet reached your standards, I can understand your feelings, it is not easy to meet what you really like. ”

"It's not that I don't like literary films, in fact, I have shot a lot of literary films, but I didn't have a script that satisfied me, the script was very problematic, and it was hard for me to imagine how well it would be filmed at that time, so I simply didn't accept it all and shot it myself. The reason why I said so much just now is because I don't like some rumors recently, when is it a kind of depravity to shoot a commercial movie?" Zhou Bai shook his head and said, what he said was not without reason, and after he came back, he saw in the newspaper that many people actually criticized Zhang Yimou while discussing the movie, which made him feel ridiculous.

What Zhang Yimou has fallen, the master who insisted on pursuing art in the past has become a businessman, he compromised with the market, and no longer has the previous insistence on following the trend, which makes people's hearts ache, this kind of argument is not a little bit or two, the more the publicity of "Hero" is grand, the more they like to stand up and make an expert, the appearance of a master outside the world, almost made Zhou Bai laugh off his big teeth.

"Film is indeed an art, but it is definitely not just art, it is also a commodity, most of the movies are shot at the beginning to make people like, in order to recover the cost can be profitable, why in the past few years everyone in the film industry has a hard time, that is, most of the films are lost, and there are fewer and fewer people willing to invest, and the final result is that no one is willing to invest, everyone has no food, and they talk about art when they are hungry, which is simply ridiculous. ”

Some people in the film industry are not very good at all, but they are still the best in the world, all the movies that are market-oriented to please the audience are garbage, and I don't know where they get their confidence, investors are about to lose their bottoms, they still pretend to be high-definition that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

If they really don't eat the fireworks of the world, then they can still be said to be real celebrities, at least people really have their own backbones, the reason why they don't want to see commercial movies is actually jealous that these movies can make money, and in their hearts they want to make money more than anyone else, but they really can't.

The most obvious example of commercial films being unpopular is Feng Xiaogang, whose films can still maintain the record of box office popularity despite the shrinking domestic film market, which is a remarkable achievement, but Feng Xiaogang is obviously the unpopular group in the film industry.

It is said that Feng Dacang has struggled all the way from scene art to TV series director, and the film director is also bloody, don't look at him as an old cannon, in fact, he is a person who can seize opportunities and can bend and stretch, and can become a director who was once compared with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige in China, and his ability can be seen.

Even though Feng Cannon has all kinds of hype and all kinds of tearing things, no one can deny that he is definitely a powerful director, and the quality of his filmed works is also first-class in China, but every time he is in various award seasons, he is finally ignored intentionally or unintentionally, and others don't want to see him when they mention him.

Of course, Feng Cannon is not without black spots, for example, he is good at greeting, he once knelt and licked Wang Shuo with a dead face, and when Wang Shuo was not treated by the above, he immediately withdrew away, for fear of being implicated, and later served wine to Wang Shuo in person to make amends, which can be regarded as the end of this snobbish holiday.

In the studio of "A Date with Luyu", after Zhou Bai expressed his views on the strange shape of the film industry, he went on to chat with Chen Luyu about the fun things that happened during the filming of "Hero", and the atmosphere changed from solemn to relaxed.
