Chapter 41: The Little Flame
In fact, within the small circle, everyone discussed it, and it was still relatively accepted that Bai Xiaofei was indeed a genius in making commercial films, and he was indeed talented, and the blockbuster movies he had made over the years were more and more blockbuster, many of them were phenomenal, but he never dared to touch literary films.
Regardless of whether this is a sour thing, or looking for psychological balance after the comprehensiveness is not as good, at least this statement is really widespread - in fact, those who play literary movies and those who play commercial movies will indeed look down on each other!
Literati are light!
Therefore, after Bai Xiaofei's "Truman's World" was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, there were many > and it was praised by many people!
This is not the opinion of one person, but the collective opinion of a considerable number of literary and art film fans within the entire Chinese film circle.
Of course, few people say anything in front of Xiaobai.
After all, now is the era of commercial films, Xiaobai's movies are selling so well, except for a group of experts scolding Xiaobai for being vulgar through the screen, no one else dares to say anything!
……
In the original time and space, this Cannes was promoted in various ways, mainly because of Lao Jia's "Children of Jianghu"!
gathered Lao Jia's eternal female No. 1 Zhao Tao, as well as a group of powerful factions: Liao Fu, Xu Zheng, Feng Xiaogang, Diao Yinan, Zhang Yi, Dong Jian...
The publicity is so strong that people feel that Lao Jia is stable this time!
Then, diarrhea, and even more desperate, Comrade Xiaogang was also heroic!
So much so that the movie was released, and Xiaogang's scenes were all deleted...
Do you want to vigorously promote Mao?
Because the producer has Huayi!
It is estimated that what Hua Yi thought was that he finally came up with a movie that was enough to force the standard, of course, he had to blow one more wave to attract the audience to watch the movie, but he didn't expect a Xiao Cui to pop up, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he didn't have the energy to promote "Children of Jianghu"...
Originally, the studio also wanted to promote "Truman's World" with great fanfare, but it was suspended by Xiaobai...
He is confident that he will win the award, even if he can't win the Palme d'Or, it is still very possible to win the best screenplay!
Returning with glory is more effective than any kind of publicity!
As for the disapproval of a bunch of people on the Internet, Xiaobai is too lazy to take care of it...
Lao Tzu didn't make movies to please you?
Don't you like it?
How old are you?
You're not a Cannes judge!
Then Wang Sicong probably felt that it was time to go out, and directly said publicly on Weibo: "There are too many garbage movies in China, and there are too many garbage directors, I don't understand why a director who made "Riding the Wind and Waves" kneels and licks the European Film Festival? ”
Then, his fans boiled!
As we all know, the three major European films that have crowned Chinese films are all very alternative films!
The Chinese literary and artistic works that can win awards abroad all expose the dark side of the new China and show the bright side of the old China, and those that show the bright side of the new China and expose the dark side of the old China do not seem to be very popular abroad.
It seems that foreigners prefer to see the superstitious, backward, primitive and ecological static Shangri-La China, rather than a modern, industrialized China that will keep moving forward no matter what the cost!
There is a famous saying: in fact, Westerners don't care about the development of China (or other third worlds), as long as these places can be used as their vacation destinations, preferably there people still wear hats and bicycles, maintain a "rustic and natural" lifestyle, and preferably everywhere a group of children excitedly gather around and beg for candy in their pockets.
So the more movies imagine what they imagine China, the more they can win awards!
This point of view is accepted by many people, so they indiscriminately think that as long as it can be shortlisted for the top three European films, it is a film that pleases European aesthetics!
Then, Xiaobai didn't pay attention to it at all...
……
Discussing the art of cinema with someone who doesn't understand filmmakers at all is a particularly speechless thing!
Wang Gongzi thinks that "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a bad movie without any nutrition, and "The Grandmaster" is very ordinary...
Of course, it is impossible for people to panic Diss a director with so many fans and a good audience, and people are taking the opportunity to promote: "Banana new director digging plan!" ”
To put it simply, it is to scold Bai Xiaofei first, and after paying attention, he immediately announced his plan, and said: "I don't want to see this garbage anymore, so I will train our own new directors to come up, hoping to change this status quo." Others want to have 200 million to become 1000000000000, but I already have 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ”
All right...
People are happy, and they sincerely want to do something for Chinese films!
However, this consciousness is still not as good as Mr. Bi, who is also a second generation, and has been honed for 12 years, and has contributed a stalk that can be used for a lifetime, what about you?
""Embroidered Spring Knife" garbage? The two scripts of Xiuchun Dao are complete, the fighting scenes are excellent, the costumes are excellent, and the acting skills are online (except for the two heroines), which can be called the leader of domestic martial arts action movies in recent years. ”
"When can investors shut up and let professionals focus on one thing for a long time. It is estimated that domestic movies will be saved! ”
"Dad's investment in movies is almost over, and you still invest in movies? The Wang family really likes the film and television industry! ”
Bai Xiaofei ignored him, and a bunch of his fans stopped doing it, and poured directly into Wang Silian's Weibo, all kinds of diss...
Wang Gongzi loves it, Xiaobai doesn't play with him, and everyone doesn't match the line at all.
He doesn't need to use people to attract people?
……
In the current Chinese director circle, it is difficult to divide the grades.
Those who can take out their hands are still those people, and the popularity of people is there!
Although the follow-up Lao Jia has won Venice, the Chinese people don't recognize it!
A director who is not recognized by the Chinese people, will it be embarrassing if you insist on blowing that he is a great director?
Looking at the box office rankings, the first place is Wu Jing, is he a big director?
Big of you!
Next is Xiaobai, the question is, is Xiaobai a big director?
I don't think so!
Winning awards is not equal to masters, masters rely on trophies and the audience's reputation, piled up little by little!
There is also a saying, masters are like red wine, the longer it lasts, the more mellow it becomes!
Xiaobai's qualifications are too shallow!
But if he persists for a few more years, when the curtain comes down on these masters, he should be able to ascend to the throne...
At this time, our future great director walked into the campus of Chinese opera with a brisk pace, and he... I came to visit the teacher, and of course, I also had the idea of casting.
The heroine of "Kung Fu" thinks about it, Li Kaixin is not suitable, this girl is not pure enough... It's the kind of thing that makes people very protective at first glance.,But it's not Lori!
In fact, Lao Liu is quite suitable, but he is a little old...
