Chapter 169: The Upper Film Festival
In recent years, mourning culture has become popular, but it doesn't mean that the healing department has not been watched by anyone!
Last year, a "Our Day" had a Douban score of 9.5, and many people said that they had dried this bowl of chicken soup!
People use a story in every episode to tell us all the truths, such as love for life, love for family, etc., you want to say that this is a cliché, or that only Chinese audiences like this thing, sorry, the number of viewers in North America is 12.84 million!
Our screenwriter is really embarrassed.
Isn't last year's "The Ferryman" a lesson enough?
By the way, when the project of "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" was established, the producer Wanda Pictures also approached Chen Baolian and wanted her to participate in the investment, and even proposed to let Bai Xiaofei serve as the art director...
Of course she refused!
Twelve scenes, all settled in a day and a half, Xiaobai wanted to vomit...
This is too casual, the key is that every time the filming is finished, the director will praise 'Good!' ’
Good your sister, it's too perfunctory...
The director is all perfunctory, what else can the actors do? Of course, I filmed it with a more perfunctory attitude!
So, in a day and a half, I settled all the scenes, took the money and left...
As for the follow-up...
What else can follow? Does the distributor still dare to use his name to promote the film?
……
In fact, the way to make a lot of money at a small cost is a horror movie in addition to comedy!
Horror movies have always been the big head of the white wolf with empty gloves, as long as the quality is above the average, it is almost a net profit.
The Three Treasures of Horror Films: Beauty! Plasma! Scream!
It's a pity that few domestic horror films make use of these, and the original "King of Force" can't be released at all now!
There are definitely a lot of fans of Cut films in China, Xiaobai himself has been obsessed with Cut films for a while, and he once tinkered with the script of a plasma film, but unfortunately, that thing can't find a way to recover the cost at all, so it's over...
It's still a different environment!
There will be no living space for this type of director in the mainland!
There are many famous directors in Hollywood, the most famous are of course Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino...
Tim Burton and David Cronenberg are also very famous Cut film directors!
Even South Korea has Park Chan-wook...
If conditions permit, Xiaobai really wants to tinker with a Cut film with three views and one place...
In fact, if it is filmed, it will not be released, and it will only be sold on DVD... No, there is no guarantee for online copyright, and when piracy is rampant, the Film Bureau will find trouble...
Sitting on the plane, Xiaobai was a little bored with divergent thinking...
……
As the only international A-class film festival, the Shanghai Film Festival is always more special than the Hong Kong Film Festival and the Beijing Film Festival.
Compared with the declining Hong Kong film industry, going north to dig for gold is the right way for Hong Kong film talents; The Beijing Film Festival, which relies on government resources to rise rapidly, has less accumulation, and is more like a continuation of the traditional government-run festival in the film field.
Only the Shanghai Film Festival, relying on a mature operation and maintenance system and film selection mechanism, as well as the Golden Goblet Award selection that has been maintained for many years, has become an annual carnival for Chinese filmmakers.
The Shanghai Film Festival, which best reflects the "Great Leap Forward" of the mainland film market, was last year.
At that time, the major film companies released more than 200 new film plans, but a year later, many works are still in the PPT stage, and there are no film projects such as director and screenwriter, no starring plan, and no preparation for filming, which has become a huge slot of criticism in the industry in the future.
Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" film version announced the screening plan, which instantly ignited the Chinese people's fantasy of domestic sci-fi films, but the repeated ticket skips were far away, and finally "The Three-Body Problem" became a laughing stock in the industry.
The market downturn that began in the second half of last year has continued until this year, which has also given practitioners a preventive shot and forced the big guys to calm down!
Of course, for movie fans, it is possible to see some movies in theaters that are unlikely to be seen in the market.
For example, in the 'Midnight Surprise' unit, we can watch "Vulgar", "The Exorcist", "Midnight Bell"...
The 'SIFF Classics' section includes "Battleship Potemkin", "Three Livelihoods", "Tokyo Tramp"...
By the way, this year's chairman of the main competition of the Shanghai Film Festival is the famous Romanian director Christian Mongi!
Mongi is a female director who won the Palme d'Or in 2007 for her masterpiece "Three Weeks and Two Days in April". Since then, "Beyond the Mountain" has won the Best Screenplay Award and the Best Actress Award at Cannes, and "Graduation Exam" won him the Best Director Award in 2016!
For the media or the industry, everyone doesn't care about the screening unit, everyone always pays attention to stars and artists!
Many people don't even know how many films are shortlisted for this year's Golden Goblet Award...
Do you know that the opening film of this year's Shanghai Film Festival is Liu Yifei's "Beacon Fangfei"?
In the past few days, the Shanghai Film Festival has also been on several hot searches, for example, on the 19th, Liu Yifei and Da Mi Mi met by chance at the Shanghai Film Festival, and immediately appeared on Weibo hot search...
'Da Mi Mi "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" has become popular again, and is recently promoting the new movie "Rescue Against Time", and happened to meet the movie version of Bai Qianliu Yifei, so there was a scene of Bai Qian's combination, the two chatted for a long time, and finally reluctantly left..."
Then good girlfriends are on the hot search together...
Fans immediately tear up...
(=~ω~=)
Questioning, what's so much to tear up?
Holding hands and chatting a few words can also tear a round, these fans are very idle...
By the way, this is also the only time after the opening of the Shanghai Film Festival that it has been on the hot search...
It's so embarrassing, the dignified international A-class film festival, the last hot search, was because of the tearing between fans...
……
Xiaobai flew to the magic capital, rested for one night, and the next day, that is, on the 23rd, he was invited to participate in the official film forum with the theme of "using the spirit of craftsmanship to create Chinese films" at the Shanghai Film Festival...
Nima, after only two movies were released, she can be named a craftsman!
With him are Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin and Peking University professor Dai Jinghua.
These are all elites and masters in the industry, and Xiaobai feels quite pressured...
Although the organizer said that he could speak freely, he still had to say it with weight and level!
In recent years, the term 'craftsman spirit' has been mentioned repeatedly, especially after the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the craftsman spirit has been greatly said more than a dozen times!
From top to bottom, everyone is slowly admiring 'craftsmen'.
In fact, the so-called 'craftsman spirit' refers to focusing on a certain job and striving for excellence.
I don't know how it was extended to film production, probably because everyone thinks that the current movies make quick money and lack polish...
Xiaobai felt that he could talk about it in this regard.
Hehe, thinking too much, when he really arrived at the scene, he knew that there was a host asking questions, and he could answer...
The host is Liu Zhenyun...
It can't be said that he is the host, he is responsible for giving a proposition, and everyone can speak freely.
The proposition is 'the current situation of domestic films'...
