Since the three of them often eat and chat together during this time, Li Xiaole knows very well that Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang have already aimed at the international market, and they have seen the stepping stone of costume films, Zhang Yimou will shoot "The City is Full of Golden Armor" in the near future, and Feng Xiaogang also put "Night Banquet" on the agenda.

It's not that the two directors are overly pursuing the market, but they really want to expand the influence of Chinese films on shijie, due to the difference in cultural forms, just like "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", a messy fashion drama that is popular in the mainland, but its overseas influence is not even one-tenth of that of "Ambush on All Sides".

Li Xiaole thought for a while and replied: "Frankly speaking, my movies can't impress Western audiences for the time being, jishu, the story is actually not the main reason, the main reason is that Western audiences don't agree with China's modern behavior model, they appreciate more the unique Confucian values of ancient China."

At present, the universal values of the Chinese audience do not have the mainstream values of the Western Christian system, and they have also lost their own Confucian morality, which is culturally lost, resulting in the confusion of values, and it is impossible for Western audiences to understand ......"

"Then Director Li, do you also plan to shoot costume dramas?" The bespectacled female reporter continued to ask.

"That's not it, my generation of directors doesn't have enough background, and I can't shoot Director Zhang's kind of ancient feelings." Li Xiaole shook his head again and again, and said frankly:

"I think in the future, if Chinese films want to occupy a place in the mainstream international commercial market, the most important thing is to do two things, the first is to cultivate their own movie stars with international influence, and the second is to tap into their own traditional surreal themes, just like "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and "Spider-Man".

American movies can become mainstream on shijie because of their monopoly on surreal themes, after all, although the lives of all shijie people are different, but dreams can be the same, we have to create exquisite dreams in order to impress people in more places. ”

"I completely agree with Director Li's words, but there is a practical problem with jishu, and it requires the common progress of the entire industry, not just a few directors who are alone." Feng Xiaogang also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, we first have to set up our own film special effects company." Li Xiaole nodded seriously.

"Okay, the three directors of Xiexie, please say the last paragraph in Zuihou to promote your new film, and we will put this paragraph as a promotion on the show and broadcast it on a rolling basis." The female reporter of CCTV instructed.

After Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang recorded "Ambush on All Sides" and "No Thieves in the World", they all looked at Li Xiaole's side, and they were curious about what kind of movie his new film "Let the Bullets Fly" is, and it is rumored in the circle that this "Let the Bullets Fly" has invested more than 100 million yuan, and Jiang Wen is the starring role, of course, Feng Xiaogang also wants to know what role he wants to play in a cameo, about which Li Xiaole has never told him.

"This is a Chinese western film, set in the era of the Republic of China government, simply put, it is a story of the struggle between good and evil, in which the protagonist hero is played by Jiang Wen, and the villain will be played by an actor-level actor, and Ge You will mediate in the middle, a bit of black humor, but it will make the audience enjoy watching it......" Li Xiaole talked eloquently to the camera, introducing the relevant content of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Horse opera? Jiang Wen, starring Ge You? Hearing these words, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and only after a few seconds did they invariably show a wry smile and glance at each other, although they didn't speak, but they were thinking about the same thing in their hearts, this time Li Xiaole is probably in danger.

In the eyes of these directors, although Li Xiaole is a very good director, his advantage is that he has always been good at grasping the market to please the audience, and he is completely incompatible with the movies that people in the circle appreciate, so in the eyes of many film critics, Li Crazy's style is still relatively common, this time he wants to challenge the high difficulty? Republic of China Westerns ...... This subject matter feels too unpopular.

After the end of the program, CCTV's reception center was lively, and it was rare for the three major directors from the mainland to come, and a meeting between the media and fans was also held by the way.

"Director Li, can you sign for me?" "Can I take a picture with you if I want to?"

In the reception center, a large number of young or middle-aged fans, in groups of three or five, sat on chairs to rest, stood and laughed and talked, until they saw Li Xiaole's appearance, all of them flocked to it.

Li Xiaole, who was wearing a white casual T-shirt, accompanied by several CCTV staff, sat on the table to hand over the DVD of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" to the fans, and also cooperated with the fans' various requests.

A young girl fan wearing glasses timidly asked him, "Director Li, who are you dating with?" Is it the media that says Sun Li, Ha Ji Won, or your alumnus Zhao Wei? ”

"No, I'm still single." Li Xiaole signed while smiling, but what he didn't expect was that the female fans at the scene burst into excited screams, which made his eardrums ache faintly, and a female college student fan weighing about 180 pounds even took the opportunity to quickly kiss him on the face when he signed the autograph, and then waved his hand to his companion and got a hero-like applause, which made him extremely speechless.

Those who came here to participate in this kind of meeting were all loyal to his fan club, and some fanatics were indispensable among them, which made Li Xiaole only smile bitterly.

And those male fans are much calmer, Zhang Han, a handsome young man who has just been admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, is very excited, holding a signed DVD and asking: "Director Li, I just watched the recording of the show, do you really want to make a western movie in your next movie?" Is it an art film? ”

"I really hope Director Li can make some in-depth movies, "Crazy Stone" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" are very good, but if you don't watch it, you will feel bored after watching it twice~" Zhang Li, a beautiful long-haired female classmate next to him, also said: "We want to see you make more complex movies, Director Li, the story of your new work should not be so straightforward, right?" ”

The people at the scene were all viewers who had just recorded the show, and after hearing the news of "Let the Bullets Fly", they were all curious about what kind of movie this was.

"Art films, I'm not good at making them right now, but this time the film will be more interesting than ever, and maybe few people will understand it." Li Xiaole smiled, the narrative of "Let the Bullets Fly" is light and dark, and there are not many that can really be understood, the bright line is refreshing for ordinary audiences, and the dark line is for senior fans to appreciate and figure out, which is a bit similar to the technique of "The Godfather".

Zhang Han and several other Chinese operas couldn't help but be excited when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Is it?" Is "Let the Bullets Fly" hard to read? What kind of story is it? Zhang Li remembered what Li Xiaole said on the show, and guessed with great interest:

"Director Li, do you want to shoot a surreal theme in this movie?"

"It can also be said that the story in the movie does not happen in reality, this is a western hero film, of course it is not surreal, surreal movies are my goal, and I will try it when I have the opportunity in the future." Li Xiaole smiled: "I can't say any more." ”

"Li is crazy~! You are a stupid director, and you can't make "Alive" and "Farewell My Concubine" in your life! At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him shouted loudly, this middle-aged man had gloomy eyes, and a thick beard on his face as if he hadn't shaved for three months.

"You're a liar~ You will only shoot some scenes that cater to stupid audiences! I don't understand movies at all! The little deflated three in the film industry~! Korean stick little fart~! ”

Several staff members immediately blocked in front of Li Xiaole and wanted to go over and throw the troublesome man out, but Li Xiaole stopped them in a big way, and said with a smile: "Let him go, lest the reporter take pictures, and say that I discriminate against Director Zhang's fans." "Ignore this benevolent brother, continue to sign his name.

Although this person is here to make trouble, but in fact, this is also the industry's general evaluation of him, professional filmmakers like that kind of thing that is higher than life, and he has always been very close to the lives of ordinary people before, which also leads to the fact that in the hearts of many fans, Li Fengmad and Feng Xiaogang are almost the same, they are box office directors who can't get on the stage.

"You idiot came to the wrong place~! Go next door to find your old mouzi and lick your shoes~" Zhang Han, who had just gotten the autograph, was very unhappy with the appearance of this idiot, and shouted at the scumbag: "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is much more novel than your Lao Mouzi's rural aiqing drama, can you understand it?" ”

The beautiful long-haired beauty Zhang Li was even more excited, and scolded the scumbag directly:

"Are you sick, this is an autograph session, not a hospital, don't get nervous here if you don't take medicine."

"You're sick!" The scumbag shouted reluctantly, glared at Li Xiaole, who didn't look at this side at all, and mocked: "Your movie can only fool these brainless post-80s, a little kid is blown into the sky every day, and I think I really am a seventh-generation director, Jiang Wen doesn't dare to say that he is the seventh generation, and you are a generation alone?" It's fucking funny! Go back to Korea and shoot your tertiary film~"

"Alright, it's all signed." Li Xiaole smiled and signed the DVDs for his fans one by one, put away the autograph pen, turned around and glanced at the scumbag, and knew that he had broken the "Hero" record at the box office, and "Ambush on All Sides" was not doing well recently, which made Zhang Yimou's fans feel very depressed.

He doesn't need to prove anything, Zhang Yimou is indeed great, and he just has some tricks, it is normal to be said a few words by fans, and it is not more convincing to say 10,000 words of justification than a good work, facts speak louder than words, but he is very curious, how will these fans who oppose him react on the day the wonderful movie "Let the Bullets Fly" appear?
