Chapter 62: Say, Did You Do It On Purpose?
During this time, the hottest news is still the debate between Director Feng and Shen Lin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two went all the way from the Magic Capital International Film Festival to the Internet.
Three days ago, the two tacitly stopped.
As a filmmaker, Xu Yuan certainly wants to understand the cause and effect.
"I have a lot of respect for Director Feng, it's true, it was he and Shuo Ye who led me into the door at the beginning, and the reason why I was like making a movie was also because of the relationship between staying in the crew of "Assembly" for two months. ”
"I just don't agree with some of his views, of course, my way of expressing himself needs to be improved, no matter what, I shouldn't blame a senior in public, let alone that senior is still my mentor and friend!"
Shen Lin pondered for dozens of seconds, and then replied.
"But you did it anyway!"
"That's no way, his words are a bit insulting to the audience, and it's definitely wrong to scold the audience for spicy chicken!"
"Director Shen, do you think our audience shouldn't scold?"
"What our audience needs is guidance, not total denial, our big film market ultimately relies on the audience, the audience doesn't pay, no matter how good you shoot, it's useless!"
"Then according to your logic, bad movies like "Little Times" are flooded, but it has a box office!"
"That's different!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Okay, "Little Times" is a bad movie, this is the most fundamental consensus of ordinary audiences, but don't forget, "Little Times" is a movie adapted from a novel!
This is definitely a blasphemy against the normal order of movies and television, a real filmmaker should build himself into an IP, just like Feng's comedy, Chenlong action movie, Xing Ye is nonsensical, these are what filmmakers should pursue!"
"Let's take a look at the difference between "Little Times" and other bad movies, most of the people who go to the theater to watch "Little Times" are Guo Xiaosi's fans, or they are forcibly dragged into the theater by fans, that is to say, as long as the "Little Times" series starts filming, it doesn't matter who the actor is, as long as the director is Guo Xiaosi, the box office starts at least 200 million, which looks very high, but this has nothing to do with most moviegoers, because Guo Xiaosi can't shoot "Interstellar", and he won't be interested in "Veteran" Such a film is interested in, in essence, he is a businessman!"
"Relying on the momentary popularity or the accumulation of only brain-dead fans at the box office is very fake! If you want to get a higher box office, you need to further show your directorial strength, not just rely on two long shots! Speaking of which, I really doubt that the Cai Dou who wrote the film review has collected money!"
"What do you mean that a movie like "Little Times" doesn't hurt Chinese cinema itself?"
"It should be like this, let me put it this way, if there is one more Guo Xiaosi, it will be difficult to say, but he alone will not reach the level of harming Chinese films! We produce more than 40 billion box office results every year, and no matter how hot Guo Xiaosi's fans are to boast about "Little Times", it is impossible for the box office to exceed 500 million! Unless he pushes the box office himself!"
Shen Lin's words were categorical!
"Then let's talk about "Breakup Master", why do you always firmly believe that "Breakup Master" is not a bad movie?"
"No way, I owe favors! Now that the movie is about to go down, I'll be honest, the biggest problem with the whole film of "The Breakup Master" is logic, if I were to be the director, I would speed up the editing rhythm or simply cut out some scenes with low laughter, but Deng Chao really worked hard, you can evaluate "The Breakup Master" as a bad movie, but you have to admit that this is a very funny bad movie!"
"That's right!"
"Domestic comedy movies rarely output laughter and grooves so enthusiastically and intensively. On the Chinese screen, Deng Chao created a new concept of entertainment, like a variety show that pleases the youth group in every possible way, and carries out self-blackening, cheapness, and weirdness to the end, and we can feel that he is trying to amuse B every moment! Mr. Lu Xun said, 'The core of comedy is tragedy,' and this sentence has been praised by many filmmakers, but can't comedy just comedy? Deng Chao is right on this path!
"That's why you're trying so hard to explain. ”
"That's right, of course, if he asks me to make a cameo in the future, I will definitely not agree, it's too embarrassing!"
"Hehe, let's go back to "Super Body", you just said that this is a movie that sells gimmicks?"
"Yes, so to speak, so, its logic will not be very smooth, but I used twice the editing effect, many viewers have no time to react and think, plus the interpretation of the villain Jin Shijie this time, it is estimated that many people will be shocked!"
"I heard you right, you just said that there is a problem with the logic of "Super Body"?"
You even have to go black with your own movie?
"That's right, if you put aside the concepts of scenes, special effects and brain domain development, I won't touch a movie like "Super Body"! But if you add those three things, I can clearly say that "Super Body" is definitely a movie worth the ticket price as a commercial film and a science fiction film, and I am very confident in its box office!"
"So, you have scheduled for July 25?"
"What happened on July 25?"
"No, it's just that "Small Times 3" will be released on July 17! Are you deliberately scheduled for July 25, in order to stagger "Small Times 3"?"
"And then, you don't doubt that my movies are not as good as Little Times!"
"Of course not, we all know that even if you shoot it with your eyes closed, you are better than Guo Xiaosi!"
"Although I know you're a sycophant, what you said is very realistic!"
Shen Lin smiled, and then said: "The North American release time of "Super Body" is set for July 24, in order to achieve global simultaneous release, the release time of China can only be set at July 25, in fact, if I really want to be able to follow my ideas, I will definitely release it on July 17, and directly let the audience compare!"
"Then why do you think highly of Han Shao, who is also a writer-turned, and deliberately contributed to his screen debut?"
"First of all, I am good friends with Han Shao, and secondly, Han Shao's movie aesthetics are very correct, I said before that aesthetics determines whether a director will make bad movies! Obviously, the worst thing about Guo Xiaosi is the aesthetics of the movie!"
"Can I understand that as long as it's your friend, you won't lose the movie he makes?"
"Not necessarily, depending on the situation, if one day a friend of mine shoots "Fuchun Mountain Residence", it is estimated that I am embarrassed to wave the flag for him. ”
"Okay! Thank you Director Shen for accepting our interview with "Human Movie Cannon", by the way, Director Shen, can you roughly predict the box office results of "Super Body"?"
"The box office, 500 million worldwide!"
"500 million? Dollars?"
"Of course!"
