Chapter 1243: Attack on Crazy Racing
Li Canghai has never picked up the microphone since "The Great Man" and began to enjoy his retirement.
But this does not mean that he has no influence in the film industry.
On the contrary, as he bid farewell to the screen and became an honorary figure in major organizations in the Chinese film industry, his influence did not decrease but increased.
After Yang Ming's interview was broadcast on Phoenix TV, it caused a strong response from insiders, and it also caused a lot of controversy.
Many people questioned Yang Ming with ulterior motives, trying to confuse the public and achieve their ulterior motives.
Yang Ming saw these news that deliberately smeared him, he treated it indifferently and didn't take it to heart, and now with his achievements, if he is angry about these little things, it will not be in line with his identity.
For these things, there will naturally be special personnel under the company to be responsible.
It won't cause much wind and waves.
But Yang Ming didn't care, but the new issue of "Huaxia Movie" published an interview with Li Canghai, analyzing why Yang Ming has always been so successful, and he highly respected Yang Ming's success.
"A few years ago, Hollywood blockbusters entered the domestic film market, and our local fans learned about Hollywood from action movies. When it comes to action movies, this concept is relatively vague, and even our domestic film action movies have a history of decades, but when Hollywood's "The Outlaws" entered the local film market, giving all fans another concept and experience of action movies. ”
With the diversified development of contemporary films, in the era when television and computers and other media have entered thousands of households, our domestic film action movies, domestic fans have long been tired of watching them, and they can't feel anything new, except for fights or fights, except for the rare big scenes in police and gangster films, it is difficult to mention fans' interest in action movies. ”
Hollywood also took advantage of this, after the Hollywood blockbuster entered the domestic screen, the adrenaline-stimulating wonderful plot and the visual impact brought by the special effects lens conquered domestic fans at once. ”
So to position action movies, it still depends on whether the genre of movies meets the division of academic party action movies, to put it bluntly, you still can't escape the word "traditional" when you go around and around. In this kind of movie, more attention is paid to dramatic conflicts, thrilling plots, PK between good and evil, group fights, chasing and fleeing in various means of transportation, and intense explosion and gunfights are the core paragraphs, and a powerful action hero is indispensable. ”
"It's also a routine that Hollywood action blockbusters are used to. ”
"Action movies provide the audience with highly tense thrilling action and audio-visual tension, fully grasp the psychology of the audience's fast food culture and pursuit of entertainment, and make people willing to spend money to enjoy the 90 minutes of refreshing feeling, becoming a blockbuster film that has swept the world and has also become the darling of the box office. ”
"This is also the invincible means of the Hollywood film industry to sweep the global film market in recent years, and shooting commercial action blockbusters is what Hollywood does best. ”
But now Yang Ming is beating the other party in what Hollywood is best at, and taking the lead in breaking the single-day box office record of breaking 100 million yuan in the film market in the United States that even Hollywood has not touched, I have to say that this young man has been ahead of everyone in the development trend of the global film industry. ”
"Not pretentious, not moaning without illness, not fooling the audience, this is Yang Ming's success. ”
After all, Li Canghai is an old man at the level of Taishan Beidou in the domestic film industry, so naturally he will not simply praise Yang Ming.
His films have been released in foreign film markets several times, with both failures and successes, and he is no stranger to the successful model of the Hollywood film industry.
Therefore, the old man's analysis and comparison between Hollywood and Yang Ming in his personal comment can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
Especially the reasons for the success he summed up for Yang Ming, even Yang Ming himself was quite emotional.
The old man got to the point.
Yang Ming naturally knows that the film works he took out in this life have been proven in his previous life, and he also understands the success of these film and television works.
From ancient times to the present, Confucian culture runs through the entire history.
There are many values in Confucian culture that have influenced generations of Chinese people.
A gentleman who does not speak for profit is one of them.
Why the dispute between commercial films and art films is so fierce in this world has a lot to do with traditional Confucian cultural thought.
Even in previous lives.
The so-called popular fashion in the West, for the Chinese people, is simply self-degenerate, and does not conform to the aesthetics and values of the Chinese.
Therefore, for the introverted pursuit of leaving a name and a goose behind the death of the goose, art is their noble pursuit.
Yang Ming naturally will not be troubled by these when he comes to this world, he simply chooses the route of commercial films, which does not mean that in his mind, commercial films are higher than art films.
But what is his biggest appeal at the moment?
What is his biggest dream?
The box office of the movie has broken various records, and it can even sell Chinese films to the United States and every corner of the world, so that the United States and even Western Europe can also try the feeling of dumping Chinese culture.
This is Yang Ming's appeal.
It is Yang Ming's dream to establish his own entertainment and cultural empire and have a media industry chain to escort his career.
Therefore, his choice is commercial films.
Simple and straightforward.
Because whether it is his appeal or dream, he needs a large amount of money to support.
He didn't have anything to do but shoot commercial films.
As for art films, maybe when he is free, he will try to make a try.
Yang Ming's attitude towards movies has never been concealed on any occasion, and in several meetings with Li Canghai, he has expressed his opinions on the Chinese film industry without reservation!
Through the achievements he has made in the past few years, it has also indirectly proved that Yang Ming's choice is not wrong.
Li Canghai also admitted in the interview that he was not interested in Yang Ming's choice at the beginning, but now Yang Ming told him with his results that what he did was the future way out of the entire Chinese film industry.
To paraphrase Yang Ming, what is the appeal of the Chinese film industry?
If it is just a standout, entertaining oneself behind closed doors, then art films can indeed meet the needs of the Chinese film industry.
But if you want to enter the global film industry and let Chinese movies fill every theater in the world, then commercial films are the best choice.
Don't look ahead, don't be pretentious, don't be greedy!
This time, Renard used his own failures to show everyone that the balance between deliberation and art is not something that everyone can control.
Mr. Li Canghai's interview record is very long, a whole page, and most of it is talking about news related to Yang Ming.
From the reason for Yang Ming's success, and the thinking brought by Yang Ming's new film to the entire Chinese film industry by breaking the box office record again in the United States this time, the old man also talked a lot, and he also made a positive response to the incident of Yang Ming pouring cold water on the Chinese film industry in the past two days.
Well done!
The old man has also become unbearable for all kinds of bad habits in the current film industry.
He even said in the interview that he would prompt various organizations and institutions of the Chinese film industry and the government to rectify and deal with the current chaos in the film industry.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The people who attacked Yang Ming for being alarmist before, now seeing Old Man Li Canghai's statement, they were all so frightened that they came out to speak again.
Because of Li Canghai's status in the Chinese film industry, he has the ability and influence to do such a thing.
It's not something they can handle anymore.
Victory Pictures.
Zhao Jianfeng has been smiling for several days, he has been taking a gentle and pro-people line, and he has a lot of smiles, and in the eyes of all the employees of the company, the boss seems to be more 'like a spring breeze'.
He smiled and nodded all the way into his office, and as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Bufan, who came with him, looked at Zhao Jianfeng quite strangely and asked, "Aren't you tired of laughing like this every day?"
Even if everyone thought that Zhao Jianfeng was a gentle and kind person, Xiao Bufan would not think so.
This is a smiling poisonous snake that can kill people when talking and laughing.
Otherwise, how could the power of the timely film platform be in the hands of Zhao Jianfeng now? No one has a deeper feeling than Xiao Bufan.
Thinking of the beginning, when Zhao Jianfeng came to Yanjing, he was still warmly entertained, thinking about this, he had the urge to hit the wall.
Zhao Jianfeng heard Xiao Bufan's words, and after smiling and glancing at the other party, he didn't get angry, but picked up the red wine he asked someone to bring from his hometown in Guangdong in the office, poured two glasses, and handed one to Xiao Bufan: "Don't be sad, people who don't know, you still think that "Crazy Racing" failed at the box office!"
Xiao Bufan took the red wine and snorted coldly secretly, but he didn't show any expression, sat on the sofa, and tasted the red wine slowly.
Seeing Xiao Bufan's appearance, a trace of strangeness flashed in the depths of Zhao Jianfeng's eyes, and then he touched his nose, and his mood quickly returned to normal, and he sat down opposite Xiao Bufan.
Although the movie "Crazy Racing" was not Zhao Jianfeng's project from the beginning, now this film has undoubtedly benefited Zhao Jianfeng a lot.
Especially when the family saw the box office results of this film, they strengthened their plan to set foot in the entertainment and cultural industry and increased their support for Zhao Jianfeng.
It is precisely because of these that Zhao Jianfeng has been smiling and in a happy mood these days.
He also didn't expect "Crazy Racing" to do so well at the box office.
Of course, compared with the box office of that demon's movie, "Crazy Racing" has no comparison, but Zhao Jianfeng didn't have much hope for this film to stop the box office of that demon, as long as he could recover a little bit of publicity and production costs.
But now, with the box office results of "Crazy Racing", there is no problem at all in recovering the production costs, and it can also make a small profit.
In July this summer, after the opening of the box office war that was expected by countless media, the box office performance of "Fast and Furious" around the world was unbeatable, completely extinguishing everyone's speculation about the outcome of the game.
Compared with the Hollywood blockbuster "Speed Drift", which was pinned on by everyone but failed humiliatingly, after the release of "Crazy Racing" of Victory Pictures, although the box office performance was not as good as Yang Ming's "Fast and Furious", it has risen steadily and has been firmly biting the second position.
With a strong star cast, "Crazy Racing" still has a lot of box office appeal in East Asia, and as long as the movie is not too bad, the box office performance will not be too bad.
The box office results of "Fast and Furious" are unbeatable, with the single-day box office results already exceeding 100 million Chinese dollars and 200 million Chinese dollars, and the total box office in East Asia has also exceeded 1 billion Chinese dollars.
The box office results of "Crazy Racing" cannot be compared to "Fast and Furious".
But now the box office in East Asia has exceeded 500 million Chinese yuan, and it has only been released for a week, and when a month has passed, there should be no problem for the total box office of this film to break 1.5 billion in East Asia alone.
If this box office figure can be reached, it will undoubtedly refresh the highest box office record in the company's history for Victory Pictures.
This greatly helped Zhao Jianfeng, who had just taken charge of Victory Pictures, to better control Victory Pictures.
The most important thing is that the film "Crazy Racing" has also made a great breakthrough in the box office performance of the United States.
There is news from the United States that the single-day box office performance of this Chinese film yesterday exceeded 20 million yuan, if it were not for the existence of that demon, the film industry of Victory Pictures would become the pride of the entire Chinese film industry.
But that demon just broke the single-day box office record of breaking 100 million in the rice film market the day before yesterday, overshadowing the box office performance of "Crazy Racing".
Although Zhao Jianfeng contacted the media through various connections in the hope that they could make some reports and hype about the box office results of "Crazy Racing" in the United States, it is a pity that "Fast and Furious" has attracted everyone's attention and attention.
Even if several media have noticed the good box office performance of "Crazy Racing" in the United States film market, it will not help.
There is only one movie that the public cares more about, and that is "Fast and Furious".
Zhao Jianfeng saw that the demon was like a hero returning from victory, and he was so courteous and praised by the domestic people and the media, it was impossible to say that there was no envy in his heart.
But he also controlled his emotions very well, but arranged for Haitian to take the main actors of the crew of "Crazy Racing" to listen to the advice of Dimei Pictures, and immediately go to the United States to build publicity momentum, which can drive further increase in box office results.
Under the favorable situation, he called Xiao Bufan to the company's side, wanting to discuss some things with him.
"Bufan, do you think the result of a win or loss is really important to you?" Zhao Jianfeng said pointedly.
Hearing Zhao Jianfeng's words, Xiao Bufan sat opposite, took a sip of red wine, and a trace of flushing and invisible hideousness appeared on his face, but soon returned to normal, looked at the red wine in his hand, and said lightly: "This is not an important issue, but a question related to whether I lose face or not, no matter what the process is, I just want the result." ”
Although Xiao Bufan's tone was flat, it was full of anger, and after saying this, he looked up at Zhao Jianfeng and said, "Actually, I have already arranged for someone to do it yesterday, no matter what, I just want the result!"
When Zhao Jianfeng heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes froze, and he looked at Xiao Bufan with a hint of coldness, and the other party was not afraid to meet his gaze, full of unruliness.
