Chapter 282: Cinema and Politics
"Director Feng, do you have any plans to cooperate with the Phantom in the future?"
Feng Xiaocang has been very popular in the past two years, and of course reporters will not let him go of this topic.
"Of course it's possible, with such a deep fortune as Phantom, I don't think anyone can come up with more investment than Ye Luo! If a blockbuster movie is made in the future, there is the possibility of cooperation!"
Feng Xiaocang's words were very straightforward, he was not afraid of what Hua Yi would say, even if Wang Zhongjun came over today, not far from him.
Because that's the way it is, who dares to say that they will invest 100 million yuan in movies?
The domestic "Life and Death Choice" has exceeded 100 million this year, but I don't want to think about how much water there is. Many units organize people to go to see them, how can your personal movies compare?
If you are a director, you want to direct a blockbuster, but where does the investment come from? So Ye Luo wanted to contact the director, but he didn't know that the other party was also trying to get close to him.
Now many movies have an investment of one or two million, which is like playing for Ye Luo, and it is no problem for people to lose dozens of films.
In fact, why a director like Lou Hua can win the award is not only his own artistic level, but also for this reason.
If there is a shortage of funds, then he has to work the details, otherwise what will he rely on to attract people! This is a form of funds forcing the director to control the details, and if you can't make a commercial film, then you have to make some achievements in art.
If you give him 10 million shots, the result will be difficult to say.
Another point is that Ye Luo is not very fond of making literary films.
He has always believed that commercial films can expand culture more than literary films. No matter how well a literary film is made, its audience determines its prospects, and most people will not choose art films.
In a word, there are many people, vulgar, and biya.
And these directors who hold the sixth generation of cow ears are very criticized.
Why? They have vividly presented the life of the lowest level of the country to the world, presenting an ugly, backward image.
In the end, it is the individual who wins the prize, and it is the image of the country that is tarnished.
A real, pure art film, why bother to participate in the evaluation? Do foreigners really have such a high standard?
At the beginning of the new century, the country is struggling to integrate into the world and needs a tangible and invisible help.
Even more than ten years later, there are still many foreigners who think that this ancient oriental country is a backward civilization.
And these movies just give each other a basis for ridicule, and the movie is blocked, sometimes it doesn't mean that those big men sitting in chairs don't make sense.
If you can do that position, there will always be some vision.
And if you say something inappropriate or condemning, why can you win an award? Is it true that all the judges abroad are honest people? Is it true that the moon in a foreign country is really rounder than in China?
I'm afraid it's not likely! I'm afraid it's not because the backward, ugly, and stupid images presented in the movies sent to the past just cater to the hearts of some judges!
At a time when the country needs a positive image to join the TO, bid for the Olympics, and integrate into the world, Ye Luo believes that what is needed at this time is a kind of positive publicity.
You know, movies are also politics, because people have nationality.
Don't think that Hollywood blockbusters are just good-looking, that's also politics, representing a cultural invasion.
How many people go to the United States because of the beauty shown in the movie? I don't think there is a few, and these people are almost elite or rich.
When you sit in the movie theater and see the American GIs showing their heroes on the battlefield, don't you know how much blood, how much ugliness, and how much evil there is behind the screen?
A hero, but he grew up on the battlefield of aggression, it is ironic enough to think about it.
And those terrorists who are shown, will they become enemies of the first power for no reason?
Homes have been destroyed, loved ones have died, and when they take up arms to resist, they are still being branded as terrorists on screens all over the world.
When the movie became a tool to whitewash evil, it was still sought after by the public, and it has to be said that it was a success.
Well, it was a success.
And why many countries turn away Hollywood blockbusters also has this consideration.
And when the WTO negotiations, why did the quota for the introduction of Hollywood films be listed as an important clause?
If you think about it, all this shows that movies are also in the service of politics.
Of course, Ye Luo thought so, but he didn't criticize, he just didn't agree.
It's also a bit biased to say this, after all, Ye Luo is an angry youth, and the perspective of the angry youth is nationalistic.
It's not that all art films are denied, but of course there are good works.
Ye Luo just thinks that the bad side of the country should not be presented to the world, just like most people will not say that their parents and wives are not on the outside.
There is a saying that family ugliness should not be publicized.
Not to mention anything else, as soon as the movie "My Sassy Girlfriend" is released, I don't know how many tourists, how much income, and how much good national image it will add to South Korea.
And in China, whether it is now or in the future, Ye Luo can't think of one. Of course, there should still be, but how many are there?
What makes a good movie?
In addition to the director, there are also Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Liu Jiacheng and other people who have something to do with Ye Luo. The rest is the leader, Han Sanye is indispensable, and Ye Luo also called Liu Simin.
Needless to say, the red carpet walked, and when they saw Ye Luo appear, the fans cheered constantly and applauded.
Reporters also pestered Ye Luo, asking about the box office, the plot, the plan, the gossip, all kinds of differences.
didn't stay too long, Ye Luo entered the theater, although Chang Jihong greeted him, but in the end he was the chairman of the company.
Many of the guests who came also looked at his face, can you not say hello?
Pre/play ends, lights out, screening.
"Hahaha-"
"Oops-"
There were no laughter or exclamations coming from the theater. The former is normal, and the latter is to see Ye Luo's large-scale piece.
Some girls cover their eyes shyly, but the gap between their fingers is very large, and there is a bit of a taste of wanting to cover up.
At this time, most people are still very simple, and they have not yet reached the realm where they can not change their faces and even evaluate their figures.
Ye Luo didn't look closely, most of them still paid attention to the audience's reaction.
He is still worried that he is a little uncomfortable, not because he cares about how much money he makes at the box office, but because he wants to succeed at one time. Establish his acting status, and then he can go international as soon as possible.
Where is the income, of course, overseas, the total annual box office in China at this time is only about one billion, which of course cannot satisfy Ye Luo's appetite now.
Also, his goal is to become a domestic banner in Hollywood, and now he happens to have such strength and potential.
As for Cheng Long, he can be represented, but more foreign countries will label him as Xiangjiang.
The other Li Lianjie represented a period of time, but unfortunately later immigrated to Singapore and became a Chinese representative.
After that, there were no celebrities in Hollywood in China, and the international chapter was somewhat famous, but it was far from enough.
"Whoa—"
The comedy ending at the end of the film touched all the audience, and many people sobbed, but this did not affect the enthusiastic applause in the slightest.
There is still a lack of movies of this level in China.
All the directors who arrived had their own impressions, no matter what it was, they all achieved one of the purposes that Ye Luo called them to come.
