Yazawa Guobu is a senior reporter for Fuso's authoritative film review media "Moviewalker", 30 years old, and he looks quite fair, which is quite rare among Fuso women. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, most of the women in Fuso are ugly, and no matter how beautiful they are, they have entered the showbiz.

Today she will interview Gu Cheng, the screenwriter, starring and investor of "Sunset in Three Chomes", and Cai Mingliang, the director of this film.

She did a lot of homework before the interview. And with the constant update of the latest news in all aspects, it seems that her homework will never be finished, and she will not stop until the moment she goes on the interview.

Although "Moviewalker" is not the most visited film review community in Fuso, it is relatively the most trafficked and professional. If you must find a benchmark product in China in the future, "Moviewalker" is higher than Douban's, and there is a special issue of professional media commentary, but the proportion of traffic visited is definitely less than that of Douban.

If you only look at the number of people and the small number of people, the biggest exposure of Quanfusang must be "Yahoo Pictures". But as is common in many countries, the most visited websites are often at the bottom of the chain of contempt, and the number of whites is also the most overwhelming.

Coupled with the characteristics of Fusang's national conditions, "Yahoo Pictures" is full of two-dimensional enthusiasts, all of whom are scum houses watching cartoons, so that the award-winning directors and producers who hold their own identities in traditional three-dimensional movies are reluctant to accept interviews with "Yahoo Pictures".

Gu Cheng naturally wouldn't accept it, especially now that he has such a bad relationship with Sun Zhengyi, the big boss of Yahoo Fusang.

The interview took place at YY Asia's corporate headquarters, an office building in Nishi-Shibuya, between Shibuya and Roppongi. Gu Cheng spent a lot of money to buy a whole five-story office building, preparing to build this generation into the base camp of his future career in Fuso, and after the establishment of the future niconico video network, its subsidiary in Fuso will also be located here.

Halfway to the interview location, Yazawa sat in the back of the company's nanny car, still hurrying to flip through the open mailbox on his laptop to receive the latest overseas inquiries about the film.

On January 7, Dongyi's premiere day, 24,000 moviegoers watched the movie, and on Saturday, January 8, NAVER's hot search index jumped to the first place in the film category, with a praise rate of 9.3 points, and the number of moviegoers soared to 87,000 on the same day due to the word-of-mouth effect.

As of today, the number of moviegoers is estimated to be no less than 140,000, and the cinema scheduling rate has further increased, which is the highest screening rate for Fuso Capital's works since 98 years. It is expected that the total number of moviegoers will exceed 260,000 in the three days of release, and the cumulative box office will hit 3 billion yuan......"

Looking at these data, Yazawa Guobu understood for a while.

She is a veteran media person and knows the resistance of Dongyi people to Fusang films.

In Dongyi, a country with a population of 50 million, 10 million moviegoers belong to the top three epic masterpieces in history. And most of them are to take advantage of the strong "persecution delusion" nationalist sentiment of the Dongyi people, or the top Hollywood masterpiece of the father of the United States.

For example, this year's box office champion "Tai Chi Flag Flying" (just a statement of history...... Of course I don't like it, this is a Korean War version of the "anti-X drama"), which is typical of selling 10 million people by selling fire.

This is also the case with the future world box office champion "Avatar", or "The Battle of Mingliang", which sold to the extreme in Dongyi's own country.

If you don't sell Hollywood's top productions, don't sell national attention and persecution feelings to make money, a slightly more rational film, even if it is the best in history, has not exceeded 6 million people - this is still a sentimental film made by Dongyi people themselves.

If it is an imported film from other countries other than the United States, a purely box office commercial film, the best result in Dongyi is 2 million viewers.

"Based on the assessment of 260,000 people at the first weekend, counting five working days, there are about 350,000 people. If the weekly recession rate can be controlled at 25 percent, and the Dongyi people can add a bonus to the Chinese New Year, there is still hope for a rush to 1 million people - a record is impossible, but it is already very staggering. ”

Yazawa thought about it: After all, compared with "the most successful non-American imported film in history", this film has two very unfavorable factors: First, this is a film co-produced by Fuso and Huaxia funds, and there is cultural resistance. Second, this is a literary film.

1 million people see it, it is already a kind of history-making existence.

She thought about it, the car had arrived at the place, and the staff of YY Asia picked her up downstairs and invited her upstairs politely.

In a long, narrow conference room with transparent glass walls on three sides, she saw the mysterious and handsome 21-year-old legendary young man with huge wealth.

The director of this film, Cai Mingliang, was also on the side, drinking tea and chatting and other interviews.

The tea is Wanwan's kung fu tea, not matcha for the Fuso tea ceremony, Cai Mingliang did it himself.

Gu Cheng didn't understand this, so he just drank it.

Yazawa Guobu humbly stepped on small steps, and quickly approached Gu Cheng and bowed: "Hi~ Gu Sang, Cai Sang, it's a great honor to be received by the two of you." On behalf of MovieWalker, I would like to thank you for choosing to do an exclusive interview with MovieWalker. ”

"Miss Tamaki is polite. Gu Cheng doesn't talk much nonsense, standing in his position, it is unnecessary to be polite to reporters.

Cai Mingliang also poured a cup of tea in front of Yazawa Guobu. He's a, and he's not interested in beautiful women, but he hasn't come out of the closet since 05.

Yasawa Guobuxun thanked and drank, and then asked in a whisper: "Mr. Gu, in fact, the industry has always been curious, why would you come to make a movie in person with such a noble status?"

"No reason. Gu Cheng blurted out without thinking about it, "I like it, I just want to shoot this topic." ”

"Uh...... He's really temperamental. Yazawa Guobu was suffocated, and said in his heart that such a willful local tyrant is really rare.

Because she was taking a videographer to record the live broadcast, she could only give full play to her adaptability and help Gu Cheng round the audience: "Then I can understand that it is like some people singing in front of the public in order to make money and hold concerts." Some people sing just to show off their talents, or just like it, just like going to KTV to consume?"

"Good analogy. Gu Cheng took a sip of tea.

Yazawa Guobu saw that he had already pinched the rhythm and eased his breath: "Then why is it from Fuso cultural background? As we all know, although you used to be an Asian superstar - I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend your current popularity when I said the word 'was', I just emphasize that you used to be a showbiz before you were a minor, and then gradually faded out as your business grew as you became an adult - but your popularity in China is the most vigorous, and your appeal is also the most obvious. Why did you choose to come to Fuso to shoot this kind of period literary theme?"

This question finally made Gu Cheng need to pretend to take the time to think about it - it wasn't that he couldn't answer it instantly, but he needed to pretend to be helpless.

"Alas...... Maybe it's because I have a more advanced vision for discovering social issues. If the idea I want to convey at the moment is expressed in the form of a Chinese movie, I am afraid that the audience's sense of social identity will be relatively low. Because Huaxia has not yet experienced the evil consequences of this 'extensive reproduction of cultural products', the society will not reflect, but in Fusang, all these pains of social transformation have already occurred more than 30 years ago, and my outlook and review can be more organically combined. ”

Gu Cheng felt that what he said was quite good, but I hope that these words can be brought back to China in the future, so that domestic media people can see it, so as not to be sprayed on him "As a celebrity, he actually spent his limited time making movies on a joint venture with Fusang people".

He wanted to save the country and wake up some people, but the country still didn't understand.

The country is still on the path of price war and extensive expansion, and has not yet experienced the heavy blow of extensive exports after the global financial tsunami in 2008, thus shouting the slogan of "consumption to save the country".

At the beginning of 05, at this juncture, Huaxia's consumption upgrade has not yet started, and it is still too heavy to talk about separation with the people. Only when the low-end replicas can't be sold, the pain is painful, and the low-end export enterprises have died hundreds of thousands of bankruptcies, and the Fuso people at the time of the "Plaza Agreement" reflect on the discomfort of the global division of labor planned by the people of the United States, and everything will go naturally.

Gu Cheng wants to talk about this truth four or five years in advance, and talk about the channel stratification and upgrading of the cultural and creative industry, which can only pretend to be a foreign background.

Yazawa Guobu pondered Gu Cheng's words, and suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, then rummaged through the bag, took out a few media articles that she had only printed last night, pointed to the content and asked Gu Cheng:

"Thank you very much for your enlightening answer, I just saw one of the most searched analysis articles on NAVER yesterday about the popularity of "Sunset in Sanchome" in Dongyi. The above believes that this movie can change the dismal box office and word-of-mouth of all Fusang movies in Dongyi in history, mainly based on these reasons:

First of all, you used to be an Asian superstar, you have high popularity in various countries, and your legend and success have also made countless people become your admirers. Secondly, you have a stake in the entertainment industry giant in Dongyi, and there are numerous promotional resources and other resources.

Finally, and most importantly, this article is because your film "Sunset in the Three Chomes" also reveals the detours of Dongyi's cultural export after the economic crisis and transformation in the 90s, which resonates with those low-level ruthless competitors - do you agree with this argument?"

Gu Cheng smiled humbly: "I don't think I have that much appeal, but there are naturally many reasons for the popularity of a movie." It's still unclear, I don't want to say anything more, just let the truth fly a little longer.

But I want to emphasize that for any country that wants to export cultural products, except for the United States, it should consider the question of 'the existence value of the weak under the Matthew effect', and I don't want to talk about the philosophical principles in this regard, I am just a filmmaker, a philosophical porter, and put the universal principles in a layer of flesh and blood, so that everyone can subtly discover them from the beauty of life. ”

Yazawa Guobu's heart was already full of worship at this moment, and although there was a camera filming, she still recorded Gu Cheng's every word with a pen. As she wrote, she suddenly remembered a question:

"By the way, according to your theory, don't you think that Huaxia will also undergo the transformation of the creative industries that took place in Fusang and Dongyi a few years later? Do you think that this situation means an industrial pain? Or do you think that you are a prophet of history?"

The question is acute.

After all, anyone who admits that he is a prophet will be attacked by fools all over the world, even if he is as good as Gu Cheng, he has to be cautious.

Predicting that a certain industry will have problems and must be transformed is even more offensive.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Cheng chose a way of expressing it as little as possible to offend people: "I have never said that I am a prophet, I just have a deeper understanding of certain industries and technologies than ordinary people, and I am more comprehensive than professionals." As for the kind of transformation and labor pains you mentioned, I can't predict it exactly, but I can only say that within three years...... That's absolutely not going to happen. Within five years, it's very likely to happen. ”

History has been changed, and the prophecy should not be too dead. Leave a two-year floating range, so that you can appear more modest, and it is indeed a conclusion based on industry analysis, rather than a straight conclusion.

However, when he heard these words, he already felt that Gu Cheng was not ashamed of his words.

"What? How dare you make such a prediction within two years? That would be very bold. Forget it, let's see if he will be slapped in the face by then, or if he will really be a blockbuster. Thinking like this, Yazawa Guobu decided to record it truthfully and stop arguing with Gu Cheng.
