Chapter 1000: Get together again in five years
And ordinary people, because Zhang Yimou is about to become the country's 'chief director', are full of curiosity about him, and under curiosity, they will also spend money to go into the cinema to watch the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor".
In this way, in terms of publicity, it is more than twice as far ahead of the movie "Night Banquet", which is indeed a rather terrifying advantage.
"It's just one factor, and while it's important, it's not the whole story!"
Nodding slightly, Menjie also admitted such a fact, but continued to speak.
"In addition to the fact that we will inevitably lag behind the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" in terms of publicity, there is also the cast of actors, indeed, I admit that all of us here are very popular stars in China, but if we talk about the cast...... Compared with the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", there are still some gaps! ”
Nodding slightly, although Menjie's words were a little unpleasant, they were also true, and everyone at the scene had to admit it.
Although the heroines of two of the movies are both Mou girls, Gong Li, who debuted much earlier and became much more famous than Zhang Ziyi, does have more box office appeal than Zhang Ziyi.
In terms of actors, the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" has Zhou Yunfa, one of the three men with the most box office appeal in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the remaining two, one is the actor Liu Ye, and the other is Jay Chou, who has an unparalleled appeal of the younger generation in the whole of China.
In some ways, these three men, I'm afraid that all the male actors in the crew of the movie "Night Banquet", including Menjie, can't match them!
On the whole, the cast of the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" is really huge!
"And in addition to the publicity, the cast. The stories they tell are also similar in nature to us, they are all stories of 'power struggle', but we are also inferior in terms of ideas! ”
"Not bad!"
Without waiting for Menjie to finish speaking, Feng Xiaogang on the side said softly helplessly, "Among the stories told in our movie "Night Banquet", the core is the struggle for power and profit for our own selfish desires, and from some perspectives, although the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor" is also such a story, it is better than our intentions and the scene is bigger!" ”
The previous publicity, cast and other factors really have nothing to do with Feng Xiaogang. But on this issue, he has a very close connection with Feng Xiaogang, which is very suitable for him.
"The movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" itself is still about feelings, and the use of intrigue, imperial power, and emotions can be said to have reached the extreme, and the things interspersed in it are also very rich. The three princes in this movie use emotional means, killer assassination methods, and finally very hot and shocking war methods to fully flesh out the story. In terms of literary drama, there are Gong Li and Liu Ye. Jay Chou also did a very good job in the play, although his skills are not very good, but he fully expressed the grand scene of the battle between countless fighters on both sides, just in this regard...... I'm not as good as Director Zhang! ”
may be because there is indeed a big gap between the two movies, which makes Feng Xiaogang feel a little lonely, and he doesn't have the indifferent appearance he had at the beginning when he speaks.
"Director Feng. I can't say that, I also participated in the filming of the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" for a period of time, and indeed, Director Zhang's directing level is indeed very high. But I don't think he's much taller than you, to be exact, you should be equal opponents! ”
Shaking his head slightly, Menjie was the first to say, "In fact, this competition is entirely because before the battle started, Director Zhang was already too far ahead, publicity, identity, lineup, script, investment...... Everything in this and so on surpasses Director Feng by a lot! ”
"And although the Olympic Games in 08 have not yet started, I heard that Director Zhang has begun to plan this Olympic event, although it is only on paper at present, but even if it is on paper, such a grand scene is definitely a very huge help for a director, so many reasons add up, plus Director Zhang has indeed played at a super level recently, and it is normal to surpass you!"
At the beginning, looking at Feng Xiaogang's lonely appearance, everyone's hearts were more or less unbearable, and they wanted to say comfort, but because they really didn't know about the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", they didn't know what Lu Dao should say, but after listening to Menjie's words, they understood, and they all talked nonsense.
"Director Feng, in fact, if you want me to say, although our movie "Night Banquet" may be difficult to surpass Director Zhang's pinnacle work "The City is Full of Golden Armor" in terms of box office, but whether it is the two of you directors or us actors, now is the time to be popular, there is still a lot of development in the future, there is no need to care about the gains and losses once or twice, future development is the king!"
"This time, Director Zhang directed the 08 Olympic Games, maybe we will have a second chance to host the Olympic Games in China in the future, maybe it will be up to you when the time comes! If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't host the second Olympic Games for a while...... But there is also the Spring Festival Gala, maybe in a few years, you will be the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala! ”
Everyone was racking their brains to comfort Feng Xiaogang, and Menjie was also telling his thoughts.
In fact, from a certain point of view, although Menjie has the king system, he will lose a lot of fun in the entertainment business.
For example, this time, other people may not really think that the results of the movie "Night Banquet" are worse than "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and even if the probability of losing is relatively high, there is still a desire to fight in their hearts.
And Menjie knows very well that the final box office of the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" will be more than double that of the movie "Night Banquet", and his heart is naturally full of entanglements.
But so what?!
Today's Menjie is just in his early twenties, and he was born in eighty-five years, and he still has countless possibilities in the future!
When he was only twenty-one or twelve years old, he was able to become the leading actor of the second film in the annual movie rating list in China, what could not be satisfied?!
Even if he lost to the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", from the perspective of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals, Menjie actually lost to Zhou Yunfa.
Between Menjie and Zhou Yanfa, one is the 'quasi-actor' who is about to become the actor, and the other is the trophy of the actor who I don't know how many times Lu Dao has won, standing at the pinnacle of the Chinese film industry, there is no comparison at all.
Losing to Zhou Yanfa, in fact, there is nothing to be depressed about.
Even Menjie thinks that as long as he gives himself time, his future self can at least reach a level comparable to Zhou Yanfa, and become a well-deserved boss in the Chinese entertainment industry, and even surpass Zhou Yanfa, it may not be impossible!
Success or failure at this time is just a temporary gain or loss, and there is no need to take it too seriously.
"You guys, you're actually starting to comfort me in turn!"
Seeing that everyone present was comforting himself, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help laughing, and at the same time felt the slightest warmth.
This group of little guys in Feng Xiaogang's eyes, when they encountered this incident, did not blame themselves, and attributed the responsibility for the possible failure to themselves, but found out other objective factors, and even focused on the problem of 'the cast is not good', and led the responsibility to themselves.
It's really ......
It's warm!
"Okay, I've been around for so many years, what battle haven't I seen? You think this little thing can make me decadent? ”
With a chuckle, Feng Xiaogang experienced a moment of loss, but he also returned to the state of a real director, looked around at everyone and said.
"Everyone in the crew of our movie "Night Banquet" is much younger than Director Zhang's movie actors, and you have such acting skills and popularity now, I believe that it won't take too many years to become even more prosperous!"
"Today, although it is difficult for us to shake Director Zhang's films, I believe that as long as we give everyone here a period of time to grow up, in a few years...... If we reunite, we will definitely be able to create one of the hottest works in China! ”
Nodding slightly, although Feng Xiaogang's words were a bit idealistic, they also said that the hearts of everyone present were boiling.
Indeed, everyone is still so young, and they have already gained such status, popularity, and strength, if you give everyone another time to grow, they will be ...... a few years later.
All people, including Menjie, have absolute confidence and can become more and more prosperous and dazzling!
"Director Feng, this proposal is good!"
However, when everyone was immersed in Feng Xiaogang's encouragement, Menjie deliberately misinterpreted Feng Xiaogang's meaning and said loudly.
"If in another three or five years, we can all become more popular and stronger actors, if at that time, we can get together again and have Director Feng direct a movie for us, I believe that we can definitely sweep the entire Chinese film industry very easily, right?!"
That's right!
Hearing this, all the people at the scene were dazzled.
Originally, because of the completion of the movie "Night Banquet", everyone had a feeling of reluctance, and looked forward to being able to re-cooperate with others one day in the future.
And this opinion put forward by Menjie is exactly in line with such an expectation!
If five years later, the more prosperous people are getting together again because of today's commitment, and looking back on today, it is definitely a very wonderful memory! (To be continued......)
