?? e?? E?z??? D?m?????? ??1? Y?9=?b5?sf'h?? *?m?n?d?? The directors know more about filming than me, but when I find two, it's not that I can just give you money to be perfunctory, but to find two of them to make a "Opium War" that can pass in my eyes!"

"Pass?!" The two great directors couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment, even if they ...... Their film achievements have not yet reached the level of the world's top masters, but they are definitely not novices, but recognized as great directors of Chinese films.

Needless to say, Li Hanxiang has become a famous director in the Hong Kong film industry since the fifties. Although, in the 60s, he once went to Taiwan to develop, so that he missed the fastest development period of Hong Kong films. In the early 70s, he returned to Hong Kong but was once considered an outdated director because the limelight was no longer as strong as it was grabbed. Of course, in the early 80s, he became the first batch of Hong Kong directors to co-produce films with the mainland, among them, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" was a sensation across the Taiwan Strait, and it was a topical film at home and abroad. Of course, it is precisely because of the great influence of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" that Leung Jiahui won the title of actor and was immediately banned from Taiwan.

Of course, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" is not without flaws, first of all, its war scenes are not big enough. If it is a Hollywood commercial film, then it must be burning, exploding, burning, exploding, and there are more scenes of visual impact of this kind. That kind of rough visual impact can often attract the box office more effectively.

Xie Jin's "Garland Under the Mountain" can be called a generation of classics. Of course, as a movie set in the counterattack against Vietnam, the war scenes are shocking and rarely seen. Therefore, this movie is more of a literary film. There are too many literary dramas, perhaps, this is the reason why it can win awards and is highly respected by the industry, but it is also the reason why it cannot become a blockbuster film.

"That's right!" Lin Qi said, "A passing movie, it doesn't just have to be applauded by a few people. A movie that is praised may not be really good. But the movies that are popular are often really popular, because the cost of counterfeiting is too high! Just like "The Court of Avalon", I ask not to make a profit, but to make a pure and beautiful movie. The end result is that it makes a lot of money, but the purpose of my investment is really not to make a profit, let alone win a prize. For example, I didn't plan that "Court of Avalon", which had an investment of 137 million yuan, would make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. In fact, it grossed $30 million worldwide, proving its appeal. At least the $30 million box office can prove that it is indeed not a movie that I think is wonderful, and there should be nearly 10 million viewers around the world who agree with it!"

There is indeed the possibility of box office injection, but the price is relatively expensive. Because, the box office of water injection is also made by spending real money to buy tickets, and the money that is finally distributed to investors is less than half of the box office. In the case of overseas distribution, it is even lower than the two-component account, which is also the lack of motivation for overseas distribution to buy films.

People fake the box office in an attempt to brush the box office to the first and second position, or a high box office that can attract attention and has news value, so as to attract some audiences who do not know the truth to enter the cinema to contribute to the real box office.

From a commercial point of view, if a movie wants to make money, then even if the box office is brushed, the limit is that thirty percent of the box office is fake, and the rest is the real box office. And the better the box office results, the better the movie, the authenticity of its results is about guaranteed. Because, even if you want to be famous and want to go crazy, it is impossible to pay astronomical losses to fake.

Relatively speaking, the space for the shady operation of award-winning movies is much larger. A lot of movies are obviously shit, but the reviews are surprisingly high. Wait until a real audience watches it, will you find out if this is a bubble of?

"What Mr. Lin means is that 'Opium Wars' is going to be a commercial blockbuster?" Mr. Li said.

Xie Jin was a little annoyed and said: "I don't have that experience when making commercial films!"

Don't say it's Xie Jin, Li Hanxiang feels bottomless!

After all, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" is not a blockbuster, and the reason why it can become an adult is because of the Beijing fever in the 80s. Modern cultures such as the Forbidden City and the late Qing Dynasty are now more popular.

At the same time, mainland audiences in this era have not seen many unseemly commercial films. In this environment, as long as the movie is not too bad, it is easy to achieve amazing results!

"Yes, I don't want to make "Opium War" into a film with any reflection, anti-war, or any profound theme!" Lin Qi said indifferently, "Most of the people in the world don't even know what 'Opium War' is all about, we take it too seriously, and it is only the beginning of humiliating modern history." Wanting to educate people too much may be the fault of our Chinese directors, so the details are more powerful, digging deep themes and human nature, and it is not difficult to cater to the judges and blend into the so-called literary circle. However, I have never taken the kind of award-winning director seriously, because his aesthetic is contrary to the mainstream public in the world. Don't look at their loud voices, the media sing and harmonize, as if their aesthetics are like the mainstream, in fact, no! Movies are consumer goods, and the best way to express your love for a movie is to buy tickets. Audiences who are not even willing to contribute to the box office are really unconvincing when they talk about how much they like a certain director and movie. The highest-grossing movie is not necessarily the best, but a good movie won't be low......"

If someone else talks to the two big directors like this, the two of them will definitely walk away. However, after all, Lin Qi is currently in the Chinese entertainment industry, and he can't find a second thigh thicker than him.

If you want money, you want to have a distribution channel (VCD), and you want advanced technology.

What's more...... "Court of Avalon" is a work, they have not only heard of it, but also actually seen it!

The blockbuster-level quality does make people in the industry feel that it has no depth of connotation, but they have to convince the commercial and technical success of this movie!

Ordinary viewers just want to see the scene a little bigger and the special effects look better.

Now the world's film industry still regards "Star Wars" as a special effects blockbuster. The special effects made by supercomputers in "Court of Avalon", where can ordinary audiences control them?

Not to mention ordinary audiences, even many big directors in this era, after watching it, they have to be shocked. Because...... With traditional cinematic techniques, you really can't shoot that effect!

It's a technology gap!

In the history of film development, technology has always been very important! From the stage of silent film to sound film, most film masters opposed sound film, believing that sound film is a desecration of art. However, in the end, sound movies still won the mass market with an absolute advantage, and filmmakers who were not convinced by sound movies before finally had to accept sound movies.

Black and white films have transitioned to color films, and they are a group of masters, who think that black and white films are artistic, and color films are artistic regressions, and a bunch of reasons are given, and the industry agrees. However, it has been proven once again that color films represent the future trend more than black and white films!

At this point in time, computer technology is constantly developing, and the computer special effects technology, which was not yet mature, is becoming more and more mature with the development of time.

Although, it is not mature enough to be used in live-action movies, and it is still lifelike. However, when used in animated films, technology is enough!

"Passing is also a little more war and less opium. Lin Qi said, "Yes! The political game of the smoking ban can be filmed very elegantly, exposing the officialdom ecology in the late Qing Dynasty." However, with a lot of details, this is not a war film, but a political history film that is too Chinese. For example, I have limited knowledge of French history, but the romance of queuing for shooting in the era of muskets like "Waterloo" still feels cool! In "Opium War", to show the tragedy and tragedy of queuing to be shot, it is enough to be epic!
