Feng Xiaogang has been in a good mood recently, the box office of "Hero" exceeded 100 million, and he officially entered the 100 million yuan director club. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the box office forecast has been made internally by Good Dreams, this film is going for 200 million, and he has a certain psychological preparation, but after it is really realized, he is still a little excited.

At this moment, all the hard work in the past has paid off.

In the mainland, there are only a handful of movies with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, and the 100 million yuan director club represents an honor, not only because of the box office, but also because of its status in the circle.

If you want to get out in the director's circle, you either win the big prize or get a high box office.

Feng Xiaogang's previous films basically had a box office of around 30 or 40 million, which is quite good compared with most directors, but it is far from being amazing.

He was in an awkward position in the director's circle.

On the one hand, he can't get along with those directors who have won international awards, and people don't pay attention to him, not because they don't talk to him, but because they exclude him from entering that circle.

It's not hard to feel this feeling, it's good to meet everyone in public, but he is not invited to private gatherings.

Even if we happen to meet at a dinner, they talk about artistic topics, exchanges with a foreign film master, and anecdotes at European film festivals.

He couldn't interject, the two sides were not in the same dimension.

On the other hand, he doesn't mix well in the circle of commercial film directors, everyone has a common topic, but there is also fierce competition.

Commercial films pay attention to the box office, compete for schedules, compete for films, and compete for box office.

Every year for the Chinese New Year, those commercial film directors don't want Feng Xiaogang to appear, in this case, how can the relationship between them be harmonious.

There are also directors who have a good relationship with Feng Xiaogang, such as shooting main themes and feature films.

Every circle is a river and lake, and as long as there are people, there will be contradictions and disputes, which are inevitable.

For a long time, Feng Xiaogang's confidence was insufficient.

In this circle that pays attention to family and identity, he was born in Yeluzi from the beginning, he was in a disadvantageous position from the beginning, without the serious reputation of the academic school, and there is no teacher and nepotism that can be relied on.

The friends he met in his early years were significantly higher in status and position than him.

Although Ge You has been running for ten years, he comes from a family of performing arts, graduated from Lin Zixuan Broadcasting Academy, is a well-known screenwriter and writer, Jiang Wen was born in a professional class of Drama Academy, a big star, Zhang Guoli is the first student in the southwest, not to mention real power figures like Han Sanping.

Feng Xiaogang's family background is average, he has no education, no connections, no sect.

He entered this circle and knew the importance of connections, especially when his own strength was not strong, and he needed the help of his friends.

He seized every opportunity to be motivated, from an artist to a screenwriter to a TV series director and film director.

In this process, there is both the help of friends and malice from within the industry, and some professionals blame, criticize and some form of indifference to him.

Compared with the criticism and questioning of the media, this kind of internal repression is more chilling.

Feng Xiaogang is worried about this, but this is the reality of the entertainment industry, he is not a magnanimous person, but he does not have the confidence to lift the table.

Moreover, he is running for the position of vice president of the Directors Guild and needs more director support.

With the development of Good Dream, it has become more and more influential in various associations, such as the Television Association, the Film Association, the Directors Association, etc., all of which are affiliated institutions of the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

These non-official bodies wield no small amount of power.

For example, it hosts film festivals, awards awards, organizes performances and cultural exchanges, and echoes the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

It can be understood that the General Administration is responsible for the management of the general direction, and various associations contract specific work.

The success of "Hero" at the box office made Feng Xiaogang a big showman, and he didn't care much even if the attitude of film critics and professionals did not improve.

Or rather, it's long been used to it.

What he cares about is his status in the circle, and when he entered the 100 million yuan director club, he stood at the top of the mainland director circle and had more right to speak.

It can reflect his changes from several aspects.

In the past, reporters called him a great director, he would be modest and work hard, but now he may be polite, but his mentality is completely different.

There are some things that he wouldn't say before, but now he has the confidence to blurt them out without paying attention.

He is a little flamboyant in character, and at the same time has a delicate side, but with the gradual success, the flamboyant character is constantly amplified.

It can also be said that he is a little self-confident, this is Feng Xiaogang's current state.

It is not obvious in front of Lin Zixuan and Ge You's friends, he suppresses his temperament, and he doesn't have so many scruples in front of the media.

Feng Xiaogang violently bombarded piracy, exploded foul language, and scolded pirates.

As a director, it is very normal to bombard piracy, "Hero" only lasted for ten days, and after ten days, pirated CDs were overwhelming, and it was completely unstoppable.

Piracy not only reduced the box office, but also directly affected Feng Xiaogang's income, and he took a share of the box office.

Other directors also hate piracy, but Feng Xiaogang is the first in the face of directors who are scolded by the media regardless of their image.

"If we compare a movie to a designer bag in a store, you can't say that you steal it because it's too expensive, and if we compare it to a son, you can't say that you want to steal someone's child because you can't give birth to a son. The streets are full of bargains, and there are really few people who can withstand this to test human nature, so it is necessary to fight piracy from the system. Feng Xiaogang proposed.

In addition, he also tore up with film critics, satirizing film critics for not understanding commercial films.

I'm a commercial film, and you and I talk about artistry, isn't it? You should look at this film with the same eyes as a commercial film, and you can see the merits.

Film critics think that it is my business to write film reviews, my personal opinion, I just see it this way, can you control it?

Feng Xiaogang said that you are criticizing my movie, why can't I care about it, you beat my child, I can't reason anymore, is this like words?

Objectively speaking, there is no one who is right or wrong, but everyone's views are different.

is the same as reading novels, some people like to read cool texts, some people like slow heat type, if you apply the standard of cool text to slow heat novels, there are poison spots everywhere.

Most directors are introverted and are not good at or disdainful of explaining and arguing.

Feng Xiaogang is different, he has no artist style, after gaining confidence, he doesn't mind tearing each other up with film critics, and even expresses his dissatisfaction with the professionals in the circle and the entire system.

This has a lot to do with the experience of being blamed and ostracized in his early years.

The media likes Feng Xiaogang, who is full of firepower, and brings them entertainment topics.

Feng Xiaogang also entered the state, thinking that he could not only promote the movie, but also scold people, which was very good.
