Chapter 126: Thousands of People Moved to Tears...

It's a showdown, I mean everyone here is rubbish!

That's probably what this sentence means.

But let's talk about the decline of Hong Kong films first: "Hong Kong films reached a peak in 1993 and began to decline year after year, from the quantity and quality of production to box office revenue.

There are many reasons for the decline of Hong Kong films, such as the loss of the Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets, the strengthening of Hollywood's globalization strategy, the rampant piracy, the outflow of talents, the lack of talent, and the indiscriminate filming of the market..."

"People are good at Hollywood blockbusters, any one is a cost of 100 million US dollars, and the Hollywood computer CG blockbusters represented by "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" are completely rising, what do Hong Kong movies rely on to fight with others?"

"I think the main reason why Hong Kong movies are not good is that the older generation of film creators have exhausted their talents, and the original film creation ideas have entered a bottleneck."

"Let's talk about gangster films, after "Infernal Affairs", a bunch of almost genre projects, addicted to star group dramas, police and gangster films, all kinds of cool meanings, in short, I don't know what it is... I made a "New World", a very large-scale cool film, which was not released in the mainland, with a box office of 280 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, $11 million in South Korea, and 19 million in Japan..."

Luo Yongchang interjected: ""New World" is a Hong Kong film..."

“… Then why don't you shoot? ”

"If you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability... Talking about Hong Kong movies in front of me? Didn't you know if I had done "The Screening Room"? ”

"Do you need to tell me history? In 68, the Taiwan authorities forced the four major Hong Kong film companies to sign a joint convention, claiming that they would not buy, distribute, or screen leftist films! ”

"In 78 years of reform and opening up in the mainland, Wanwan immediately introduced a plan to deal with it, prohibiting Hong Kong actors from going to the mainland to film..."

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "I found that most Hong Kong filmmakers don't know anything about the mainland, even if they are ignorant, they still step on all kinds of arrogance... How?

At that time, the Hong Kong film industry forced Liang Jiahui, who had just won the best actor, to set up a stall in order to bend the market, and I heard that there were still a few big-name movie stars who were pointed at the head with guns to make movies, and Hong Kong had creative freedom at that time?

When the Hong Kong film was released in Singapore, in order to pass the trial, "Crazy Boy" was cut into "The New Police Story in the Rivers and Lakes"... Is this considered freedom?

Now the mainland does not stop you from making Hong Kong local films, and second, it does not prevent you from cooperating with other countries to distribute films, at most, there is a review of mainland films, which is not free, and you will not be able to make films? ”

"I'm sorry that the yin and yang are weird, this is not allowed to be filmed, and that is not allowed to be filmed?"

"If it's really just the system, then your movies should sell well in Hong Kong or Taiwan, right? Does it sell well? Director Du, how are the two parts of "Underworld" selling? Shen Xudong stared at Du Qifeng: "What do you ask, Director Du!" ”

Johnnie... I didn't speak with a black face...

The two-part "Underworld" together box office did not reach $8 million, and the copyright income was almost $5 million...

Thanks to the Chinese star, the Galaxy made two romance films, "The Favorite Woman Shopaholic" and "Natural Couple", thinking of making up for a wave of blood, but unfortunately, these two movies are still losing money!

How could Johnny To admit this kind of thing?

"Haolaiwu blockbusters have to be censored when they enter the mainland, if it doesn't work, it won't work, we have to be censored when we make our own movies, what's the matter? Are you so awesome? If you don't have the ability, you say you don't have the ability, and the environment is not good everywhere, what? You are the ones who destroy the environment! ”

finally concluded: "Stepping on a horse, I am the most annoying person who pretends to be forced, and the key is that I can't pretend to be on the point!" ”

Feng Xiaogang was dumbfounded and watched Shen Xudong scolding...

It's really swearing!

Shen Xudong didn't save any face, and directly slammed his face...

The media and reporters at the scene were crazy - they were all explosions!

Sure enough, with Shen Xudong, there was food!

The host wants to lighten the mood, but doesn't know how...

Very blunt to change the subject: "... Ahem, let's talk about anti-piracy..."

Shen Xudong didn't have anything to say about anti-piracy, so he simply shut up...

……

"What's wrong with you today? So angry? ”

"Golden Harvest was targeted by these people in Hong Kong... I'm upset..."

At the end of the forum unit, Shen Xudong didn't say hello to the gang of Hong Kong filmmakers, and left directly... Feng Xiaogang chased after him...

Oh, Feng Xiaogang came to the film festival in addition to promoting "Mobile Phone 2", but also helped the film festival make a creative short film - the theme is anti-piracy!

“… Is it serious? ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "They can't afford to make much waves, Golden Harvest itself has 8 theaters and 19 theaters, accounting for 27% of the market... I plan to acquire three more this year and make the market share more than 35%! What's more, there is Yindu, Oriental Film and Television, and Emperor Media as allies! ”

“… Be careful, I heard it's messy over there! ”

"It's not messing around... It's all back. ”

“… If you're confident, let's go, watch your new movie go! ”

"Hmm..."

The two got in the car and went to Shanghai Film Studios.

During the Shanghai Film Festival, there are three 1,000-person screening halls in Shanghai, No. 1 screening hall of Shanghai Film Cinema, and a 1,000-person screening hall; There is also the Majestic Theater in the No. 1 screening hall of the Daguang Cinema.

The Majestic Theater is not open for the time being, and "Life Events" premiered at Shanghai Film Cinema.

When Shen Xudong arrived at the screening hall, the movie had already been screened, and Han Yan was sitting anxiously in the first row...

It's normal, without Shen Xudong present, he has no bottom in his heart!

“… Shen Dong, how do you... Director Feng! ”

“… The forum we participated in together is over, and I rushed over immediately..."Shen Xudong replied, and then motioned for Feng Xiaogang to sit down first...

Feng Xiaogang sat down, and Shen Xudong introduced Han Yan: "New director, Han Yan..."

Director Feng glanced at Han Yan, who was a little excited, shook his hand, and then whispered to Shen Xudong: "... If you can pick it out, I want to see the level! ”

"You're going to see..."

……

"Life Events", the theme is clear, about death!

Most of the audience is actually taboo and repulsive about death-themed movies.

The male protagonist of the film, Mo Sanmei, is a mortician, who specializes in helping the dead tidy up their appearance, resetting the stiff corpse, and repairing the unrecognizable corpse.

In fact, Mo Sanmei doesn't like to be a mortician, this industry deals with the dead, and she is often looked down upon by others, because everyone thinks that people who do this job are "unlucky".

Mo Sanmei's plan was to wait for her father to pass on the store to him, and then change "Heaven" to another store.

Then Wu Xiaowen appeared...

This is a very ordinary movie of mutual redemption!

The difference is that the funeral details in the film about the deceased's joint displacement, cremation, delivery, etc. are in place...

But... From Feng Xiaogang's point of view, the whole story of "Life Events" is a bit floating, but it is not real enough.

It's sunny, childlike, like an urban fairy tale, with a lack of reality.

is too much in pursuit of romance and integrity, especially the appearance of Xiaowen's mother in the second half...

Although there are hints, it is not enough to have hints, and it is easy to give people the feeling of forcibly creating dramatic contradictions and conflicts.

However, this movie, he can feel that the market will definitely welcome it, because it is really just right, making people cry and laugh...

Therefore, at the end of the movie screening, the host asked Feng Xiaogang for his opinion, and he said, "It's a good movie!" ”
