Chapter 198: A New Era

Winter is not the season of tourism, most people still like to hide in the warm room without going out, the villa is as lively as usual, Leslie Cheung, Fan Binbin, Su Yawen, Andy Lau, Xu Zhen, Wang Baoqiang, A Long, A Xing, Li Lianjie and several other people are too lazy to move, give them a holiday for more than a month They have not been anywhere, saying that it is almost the New Year to stay with a few brothers, and travel to wait until after the winter to go.

The snow is very large, the whole city B seems to be covered with a white cloth, the white expanse is very spectacular, the open space in the villa area is very clean, the little girl is building a snowman with a little glove, and the snow on the ground is piled up by her.

After the New Year, the little girl will be 10 years old, and she has grown into a little girl, with yellow hair, a tall nose, and big black eyes with Chinese characteristics. Before going to school, Wang Rong and Lin Feihong were filming outside and had no time to take care of her, and then Wang Rong became pregnant, so she had no time and energy, so she lived in Wang Rong's parents' house, and now she will come over on vacation.

The little girl had a good time, she hadn't played like this for a long time, although sometimes she came to sit on the weekend, but her ass was pushed back before it was hot, and it was important to study. Now she can finally play with a few big brothers in the villa, which is more fun than playing with the children.

It didn't take long for Wang Baoqiang to join in, he didn't want to, a person in his twenties still playing with children in the snow seemed a little embarrassed, but there was no way, this was the little girl's request, she liked to play with Wang Baoqiang the most, because this lovely brother was the most fun.

Ah Xing also likes little girls, take the initiative to join in, in Ah Xing's view, playing snow is a pleasure, regardless of age, as long as you can resist the cold, you can play, the older you are playing in the snow, it means that you are still young, this mentality is worth recommending, and there are very few people who have this kind of immortal legend now. Nowadays, most people in society have been worn out by life, and they have lost the original childlike interest.

Su Yawen, Fan Binbin, Ding Xu and several girls are not to mention, they are more active than the little girl, and they also built snowmen not far from the little girl, forming a trend of four generations and five countries, Wang Rong also wants to play, but just thinking about it, Lin Feihong will never agree, and he will become a father in less than two months. There is absolutely no room for error.

It's enough to have four generations and five countries. Leslie. Xu Zhen, Liu Dehua, Ah Long, Li Lianjie. Others such as Lin Feihong did not participate anymore, they acted as spectators.

A few people sat in a row and watched a few people under the steps busy, listening to their chatter and laughter, the little girl's voice was the loudest, sometimes a big laugh almost shook the whole villa, and the silver bell laughter of several other girls formed a beautiful song out of the villa, attracting passers-by couldn't help but take a few more glances at the villa, what is going on in this villa, so cheerful!

You can't smoke a cigarette. It's inconvenient to have women and children, so everyone endures it.

"Guorong, what do you think of the current movie market?" Lin Feihong crossed Erlang's legs, holding a glass of boiled water in his hand, drinking boiled water in cold weather, and his whole body was as refreshing as autumn. Every time it is cold, Lin Feihong has a cup of boiling water in his hand, he would rather drink water than strong tea, although boiling water is light, the effect is far better than strong tea.

"Our status of "Cinema Paradiso" may not be so easy to shake, in the first week from the theater to get 1,400 screens, the box office reached 269 million, firmly ranked the weekly box office champion, recently this throne has become our exclusive seat, except for our film no other film can occupy." Leslie Cheung drinks strong tea, he likes to keep his spirit at all times every day, and he will be efficient when he has the spirit.

Xu Zhen nodded and said: "Now we have won almost every weekly box office championship, and those big directors in China can't catch up, and they can't catch up if they want to, but then again, it's not a way to do it all the time, I feel bored." ”

Lin Feihong took a sip of boiling water, smiled, and said to Xu Zhen: "Although we can now say that we are quite good in China, we are just frogs at the bottom of the well. Under equal conditions, people are still willing to support Chinese films, and their films are among the best in the country.

The incompatibility will affect the performance of a film, just like the results of our films moving overseas are not so good, and they can't surpass local films just like they come to our country, and they are left far behind.

Like the international awards Oscar and the Cannes Palme d'Or, most of them take care of local films, and if they are not particularly good, they will be easily turned away.

For example, people will love their own children more than other people's children, selfishness is human nature, if China's film festivals such as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, the Xiangjiang Film Awards can have the Oscar and the Cannes Palme d'Or as high international status and popularity, I think most of the award-winning films are local films, of course, if China's film festivals can reach that level, then China's film industry is also developing to the peak, and it is natural that films can win awards at that time. ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhen nodded, sighed lightly and said: "It's very difficult to do well in the field of film, as long as our actors are mature in acting, it will be easier to play any movie in the future, but the director is different, if the director has no goods, the inspiration is no longer so unique, and he can't create a more innovative movie, then it will be difficult for the film industry to develop, innovation is something that any creative industry must have, novels, movies, and products must be innovative, if it is set in stone, apply a model, and people will be numb if they watch too much."

Like the new and dislike the old is the nature of people since ancient times, there are novel things will be sought after and loved by people, of course, if no one can create something new, everyone accepts the old model, but the content has changed, the shell is still the same, then there is no difference, the competitiveness is in and whether the content is colorful.

This situation is more and more developed in society, and as the things that people can think of are innovated, it becomes more difficult to innovate, and then it becomes more obvious, so at this time, it is to reform the content, and a theme can be expressed by several modes, and the reason why our movies can succeed is mainly in this content, the theme is very ordinary but the content is wonderful. ”

"That being said. But this is not a long-term solution, although it is difficult for us to be surpassed, but there are always exceptions, the so-called Yangtze River later pushed the front wave, the follow-up leader is still a lot, as Feihong said we are still just the frog at the bottom of the well, did not meet the opponent is our luck, you take a closer look at the current situation is not difficult to find, now although we are in the first place, but the gap with the back is not big.

Today is the 10th day of the release of the Chinese New Year film. Judging by the progress and observations of these ten days. I don't know if you have noticed that there is a movie that has made great progress at the box office. A lot of potential. ”

After listening to Andy Lau's words, Lin Feihong nodded lightly, there is indeed a Hollywood blockbuster that covets the championship.

Leslie Cheung said indifferently: "The potential of the Hollywood sci-fi film "Aragon" is limitless, and the box office has begun to rise in a straight line since the third day of its release. Since then, the attendance rate has continued to rise, and by the end of the week, the attendance rate has risen to 100%, ranking first among several Hollywood blockbusters, far behind the same kind, and the theater chain has also made an exception to increase the number of screens for it since the second week, and now its number of screens has also reached 1100, an increase of 300, and the number of screens in "Paradise Cinema" has only increased by 300 this week, a total of 1700. It's only 600 more than "Aragon", and the gap in the past is much more than now.

The theater chain saw the potential of "Aragon", so it gave it the same treatment as our mainland films for the first time, only three of our mainland films increased by 300 screens in the second week, and the others hovered in the more than 200. This situation is unprecedented, and there has never been a foreign film with such results before, and although it is still only ranked seventh at the box office in the first week, I suspect that it could easily surpass Xu Ke's "I Am a Hero" in sixth place with its speed. ”

Aaron took Leslie Cheung's words and said: "I think this is a new era, and we will face a new challenge. ”

Everyone didn't speak, Lin Feihong didn't speak, gently sipping boiling water, only feeling that there was a new force spreading across the country, this feeling is familiar, from the body of "Aragon" seems to see the shadow of the previous life "Avatar", the previous life This movie also swept the country, and there is still no film that can surpass it, this movie still stands in the country, the box office throne of the world, no one can change the situation.

Four snowmen have been piled up on the ground, a small snowman, three big snowmen, Wang Baoqiang and A Xing, two big men, are also playing crazy, six people form three independent legions, Wang Baoqiang, who was originally with the little girl, rebelled halfway, ran to the front and formed a group with Ding Xu, so there were only Ah Xing and the little girl left on the little girl's side, Su Yawen and Fan Binbin had no man to help, so the two little women joined forces to fight the enemy together.

Three groups to see who builds a snowman beautiful, more, the little girl does not ask for more but only for beauty, until now, although only a snowman as tall as her is the most beautiful of the four, she and Ah Xing cooperate very well, she goes to fetch snow, Ah Xing is responsible for piling it. Wang Baoqiang and Ding Xu also cooperated quite well, Wang Baoqiang naturally didn't want Ding Xu to move the snow, so he went to transport the snow, and it was very cold to hold in his arms, but the smile on his face never disappeared, and now two snowmen have been piled up. Su Yawen and Fan Binbin are not yet ready to make a snowman, and they are now looking for materials to fill their eyes.

The six of them were picking snow and piling up snow on the open ground, and a huge clearing was now so clean as if it had never snowed, and the snow was still falling, but it could not stop the six people from playing in the snow, and the cheers of the six people hovered over the villa, breaking up the dull atmosphere on the steps

Feng Qingyang is very depressed, he has never said others when he hits himself in the foot, but he didn't expect it to be used on himself now, the Hollywood blockbuster "Aragon" was introduced by him, when he first chose this movie, he never thought how popular this movie could be, and he chose overseas films just to let his films be sold overseas.

Although "Aragorn" has not yet reached the realm of "Cinema Paradiso", with its popularity and praise, the film is dangerous.

Although the increase in the box office of "Aragon" is also a good thing for Qihong Film and Television, at least it can get a certain percentage of it, but now for Qihong Film and Television, money is no longer a problem, and Qihong Film and Television has never developed overseas projects for money, and the only purpose has always been to let their films be released overseas.

Honor is the most important thing, whether it is for Qihong Film and Television or for Lin Feihong himself, I don't know how Lin Feihong will react when he sees the current situation.

"Actually, the movie 'Aragon' is not necessarily good, people probably like it because of its spectacular scenes. The light sensitivity is better, there is nothing in essence, there are more computer operations, special effects are the characteristics of this film, and its special effects are really well done, there is no doubt about it. ”

Feng Qingyang looked at Lin Wenqing, who was sitting opposite, and nodded, Lin Wenqing was right, in terms of substance, "Aragorn" is indeed not as good as "Paradise Cinema".

Lin Wenqing shrugged. He continued: "But the film industry right now is not based on how much substance your film has. How many real-life scenarios are there to decide whether it is good or bad. With the development of science and technology, computer technology is getting better and better, and the movies produced are more cool and spectacular. This is what the audience likes, and everyone watches movies that have to be cool.

At a time when most people choose to use computer technology to make movies, and you are still making substantive movies, then it seems backward, some older audiences may like substantial, real movies, but young audiences definitely like movies with fantasy colors, and young audiences are the main force in the film market.

"Aragon" doesn't have much substance, but it is loved by everyone. All this is the effect produced by special effects, this is the charm of special effects, as a special effects artist, I know more about this, and I like to see the special effects I make more loved by the audience, which is the necessity of the existence of special effects artists. So I hope that in the future, the company will make more films like this, after all, this is the era of special effects, even if it wasn't before, but now the arrival of "Aragon" proves it.

In your Chinese special effects era, it is not very obvious, except for the films directed by Lu Lijun, which will use a little more special effects, most of the films of other directors are realistic, and most of them are combined with multiple shots. In the United States, the era of special effects began a few years ago, so it gave birth to a large number of special effects companies and special effects artists, and the real reason why American science fiction films are more famous all over the world is that they rely on technology to win rather than shoot and combine them one by one.

After seeing the popularity of "Aragon", I went to the cinema to watch this movie, it is really good, unlike other science fiction films, many special effects are something I have not seen, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to do it, it can be said that "Aragon" is a science fiction film with great potential, and it is an inevitable trend that it has the current results. ”

After listening to Lin Wenqing's words, Feng Qing raised his eyebrows and frowned, and after being silent for a while, he said to Lin Wenqing: "Maybe you are right, we should think about the current situation, when the foreign films were stationed in China, because their results were not very satisfactory, we didn't pay much attention, and felt that the local culture was good, but now the impact of "Aragon" has sounded the alarm for us, and its rise has to make us think."

It's been two weeks since it was released in one day, and now, the number of screens in "Aragon" has increased to 1,500, and there are 400 more screens in six days, and the number of screens on the first day when it was just released was only 800, which is unprecedented in China, and even our last movie "The Shawshank Redemption" did not have this kind of promotion speed.

The most important thing is that the theater chain made an exception to increase the number of screens in "Aragon", in the past, the number of screens would only increase in theaters a week later, and now "Aragon" has increased from 1100 screens on the first day of the second week to 1500 on the sixth day now, this speed is extremely amazing, 200 yuan is short of catching up with "Paradise Cinema", and it is 50 more than Lu Lijun's sci-fi film "Metamorphosis 2", and the attendance rate has maintained this full form since the seventh day of release. Although the box office of "Aragorn" is not as high as "Cinema Paradiso" and "Metamorphosis 2", the gap between the two has narrowed a lot, and it seems that it will sit in third place this week.

Fortunately, the number of screens in my country is basically fixed, and there are not many screens in the country that can be allocated under the distribution of so many movies, if "Aragorn" continues to increase the number of screens at the current rate, "Paradise Cinema" will be easily squeezed down.

This is a new era in China's film industry, and the seclusion of the country will only lead to backwardness, although the overseas market has been developed, it is only a simple transaction, and the essence of the foreign film industry, the culture has not been learned and introduced. It is time to re-examine yourself by the paralysis of appearance, China's film industry needs to transform, and Qihong Film and Television Company must also transform, and it is necessary to recognize this film world with a new attitude, rather than being a frog at the bottom of a well.

"Aragorn" was a catastrophic invasion, but it was also our luck. ”

After Feng Qingyang saw Lin Wenqing walk out of the office, he looked out the window at the white expanse, and the snow was still falling heavily, as if it indicated that a disaster was coming.
