Chapter Seventy-Two: Mouth
『Chapter error, click here to report』
Xu Hui has commented on hiccups in public more than once, including some directors who focus on literary films, and Wang Xiaoshuai is the most typical example.
Since Wang Xiaoshuai became famous in Rotterdam in "Days of Winter and Spring", he has been a little immersed in the momentum of self-expression and can't get out.
"Extreme Cold", "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", "Qinghong", "Me Eleven"...
A self-analysis of the road to the sublimation of literature and art was vividly staged...
Abbreviated as death, there are also literary film directors who are far away from the market and the masses...
Of course, his early works were not bad, with his unique long shots and white sketching techniques to show the world audience the poor and backward China...
Then he may be a little immersed in this style, and there are several works in a row, all of which are about the same subject...
In the 21st century, especially after the mainland film market has become popular in recent years, no one cares about Wang Xiaoshuai.
In the eyes of the financier, a movie that can't be sold is a money-losing product, and a movie that is destined to lose money, who will invest in Nima?
In the eyes of the audience, what are you shooting, don't look at it!
For a director like Xu Hui who can make commercial films, this is the best era;
For a literary film director like Wang Xiaoshuai who is only willing to express himself, this is the worst era!
The bad is the bad in contrast!
With the comparison, the audience knows that the original domestic movie can also be very interesting, and it can also be made for us to accept.
In such a comparison, the works of Wang Xiaoshuai and his gang are even more unsellable.
Of course, there are also those who conform to the market and want to make some commercial films, and then they found that commercial films are not as simple as imagined, the most successful of them should belong to Ning Hao and Lu Chuan, the former is not black, Ning Hao also said, he is a commercial film director, as for Lu Chuan, it is very typical of a director who wants to work hard in the direction of commercial films, but has not been able to touch the threshold...
Wang Xiaoshuai is different from them, he only makes literary films at all!
To be more precise, he looks down on directors who make commercial films!
Xu Hui is a very typical commercial film director, in other words, he doesn't like Xu Hui!
……
At the beginning of the discussion, Wang Xiaoshuai spoke first: "As soon as I came to the stage, I found myself in a trap, and I told myself again and again that I must say calmly, don't get excited, don't offend people, but looking at this person so calm, I can't be calmer anymore." The film market is now starting to become hot, and it is not uncommon for the box office to exceed 100 million, but to be honest, I think that as a director, those who have a box office of over 100 million are not necessarily successful!"
"I think these directors must be envious of me because I can decide what I do. No matter how poor I am, I have to carry it to death, otherwise people's faith will fall down, Yu Dan said when he said "Analects", once faith is poured down, it is unpleasant... I think these directors must be very envious of me, and Director Zhang Yimou will also envy me!"
"Eighteen years, countless people have persuaded me to make commercial films, but I think I should insist, I can carry it a little longer if I can live a little longer in this life, and I will carry it to a certain point if I live a short life. I can't wander around, and I'll be like a director like them!"
"Compared with a few years ago, our literary and artistic films are almost broken, which is a very bad phenomenon! I think that our relevant units should set up a special fund to support the creation of literary and artistic films, and films should always be and can only be art! Now that people have money and are willing to do charity, you should also do charity for art films, why don't you protect art films?"
Xu Hui rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to an eboned artist who couldn't tell the times and didn't understand the context of the market.
So he didn't pick up much.
Who knows, Wang Xiaoshuai regarded his disdain as a void of heart, and deliberately provoked: "You have made money, are you happy? You are under a lot of pressure, the next time your movie will not exceed 100 million, you will fail!"
You're pretty wide!
"I'm curious, Director Xiaoshuai, how do you judge that I don't like my work? Or, who told you that I can't decide my own work?"
"Also, in my opinion, artificially dividing the film into two parts, business and art, this is a very outdated way of thinking, we have so many commercial blockbusters, but the audience scolds them for having no connotation, but Xiao Shuai directs those so-called art films with humanistic connotation, and the audience will also scold. Here's the problem, if you make a movie that is accepted by the public, then it's a good movie, otherwise, it's a bad movie!"
"In my opinion, a film without a market and without an audience is a bad movie!
"Movies should not be consciously formed, but return to the film itself and the market. Everyone can see that the domestic market is expanding day by day, and what we should be thinking about now is how we directors can make movies that the audience likes, instead of being entangled in topics such as literary and commercial films! Hollywood is eyeing up, and according to the agreement that joined the TO, after 2012, there will be more than 30 blockbusters imported every year!
"We can't let the audience be occupied by Hollywood movies, once the audience develops the habit of watching Hollywood movies, they will no longer choose to watch our movies!
Xu Hui is just when his blood is strong, how can he accept such a straightforward provocation, besides, he himself has no good impression of literary film directors like Wang Xiaoshuai, and he is naturally hostile.
"Also, in the past, you said that you should not let the government manage the film and leave everything to the market, but now, the market hates you, and you want the government to support literary and artistic films?
“… The Rotterdam Film Festival is the recognition of all filmmakers in the world, and you actually say that it is a bad movie, what qualifications do you have?"
"Yes, film is art, but the process of the birth of film is very commercial, and every link needs to cost money, even the simplest literary film also needs to cost!"
"You dare to say that literary films are simple!"
"In my opinion, the so-called literary film is to create an atmosphere, and then find a few actors and actresses to interpret some humanity..."
"You are ignorant!"
Yes, Wang Xiaoshuai is already out of anger, if it weren't for the scruples of someone taking pictures at the scene, it is estimated that he would do it!
Xu Hui's face was indifferent, but he was always unforgiving: "We can let the audience speak, after all, it is they who buy the tickets, not yourself!"
Wu He, the owner of the largest cinema chain in Shanghai, slowly came to the sentence: "Don't we ordinary people love to watch movies that fight, kill, chatter, and laugh!"
Abbreviated as entertainment-oriented films.
Many directors also know it in their hearts, but they just don't want to admit it, or they don't want to make a movie like that.
Because the vast majority of them can't make commercial films!
To be honest, these people want to have a reputation, but as long as the basic skills are enough, with today's market capacity, the box office will exceed 100 million.
That's why they will hold high the slogan of literary films to hide the cowardice in their bones!
……
Chinese films, especially domestic Chinese films, have been particularly prominent in recent years because of the contradiction between commercial films and literary films.
The movie sold well at the box office, and a bunch of peers accused you of betraying the art of film, and you actually made a commercial film, you are too vulgar!
Why do you say that, it's not because they can't make movies that the audience likes!
It's like all kinds of opposition in the cross talk world, Guo Degang said that he has one meaning.
Desperately preaching, 'You have to be elegant!'
This kind of face is especially in line with those so-called artists!
It is those who feel how noble art is, how much it should be stripped away from secular industry, who end up burying it...
This topic has been revealed, and it is the turn of the discussion of 'Chinese films and the world'.
Xu Hui is still one of the three-person talking group, but the one sitting with him has been replaced by Lu Chuan...
It's embarrassing, the two of them tore up some time ago!
"Then in the opinion of the two directors, why can't many of our films go overseas? Director Lu Chuan, can you tell me first?"
