Shen Xudong has also been in the circle for a few years, and he has heard many things...

What's 'some female celebrities go to Thailand to invite a little gui in order to be popular, and they will also use lipstick made of corpse oil' and the like, it's not even news!

Especially in Hong Kong, the leading place of the metaphysical world, there are even more celebrities who have been rumored to 'raise a little gui'.

It's hard to understand why these people would believe this thing.

But Shen Xudong probably understands that Marx once said: 'Even the most absurd superstitions are rooted in the eternal nature of human nature'.

Many people in the entertainment industry are actually not sure that they will be popular...

Whether the fire is hot or not depends on the luck of the component is very large, and the uncertainty is strong.

The so-called little red relies on support, big red relies on life, and strong support is punished by God...

Every year, countless handsome men and beautiful women pour into the entertainment industry, and every agency hopes to make its own artists popular.

But it's hard to say whether an artist can be popular!

Powerful artists may not be popular; Handsome artists may not be popular.

So, what conditions does an artist have to be successful and famous?

This question, it is estimated that the artist himself is also muttering in his heart.

In a circle where there is no rising standard, excluding some artists with a gold owner's father and family background, the remaining artists can only pin their chances of success on mysterious things such as ghosts and gods, fortune, and feng shui.

When people can't control their fate, they tend to believe in cows, gods, ghosts, and snakes.

Therefore, it is not surprising that operations such as praying to God, worshipping Buddha, and raising children are not surprising.

In addition, many celebrities can become popular and feel that they are the darlings of God's food, so they always feel that they will lose something...

In fact, the heart is not satisfied!

Many people feel unreliable after becoming popular, and they have no sustenance in their hearts.

Why don't they trust science, you say?

Because they are looking for inner peace, science is so strong, but it really doesn't necessarily bring this to people!

……

The second point of discussion in "Time" is 'how to make a movie that both Chinese and American audiences will love... In addition to storytelling, would you consider the scale and universal value? ’

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't believe in the so-called universal values, don't discuss this with me, when freedom meets fairness, when cooking meets human liberation, I will definitely stand on the latter." Therefore, I only consider the storytelling when making movies, and as for the scale or whether Chinese and American audiences like it, it is not within my scope of consideration. ”

After a pause, he added: "For example, "Twilight", I guess mainland audiences hate it... But it can be sold in the United States, for example, "Painted Skin", the box office in the mainland is very high, and the sales in Southeast Asia are also good, but North America, including Europe, will definitely not sell... When making a movie, you must not think about what is global, and you must not think about what foreigners can't understand..."

"Then what do you think about the movie going to sea?"

"I don't have any opinion.,I've always thought the best way to do it.,It's to forget about the "output".,The most hated thing we hate about playing games since we were kids is that kind of provenance restriction.,You have to hold your own handsome seal.,Everything has to be personally commanded.,This is not allowed.,That's not good.,This is detrimental to the prestige of a great country.,That humiliates the historical heritage... Such guys are boring and the least popular. ”

"So, I bypassed them and started my own American film company, which is a temporary way!"

"Transiently?"

"You have to take your time, get the aircraft carriers right first, when China has twice as many aircraft carriers as the United States, it's easy to talk about anything.

I always believe that a nation and a country do not rely on movies to rule the world!

If you look at American films, some of them are really bad, but the whole world is willing to accept them, because people have aircraft carriers as backstage, and just having a film industry is useful. ”

Well, he talked about aircraft carrier determinism again, which is actually the determinism of national hard power!

The essence of all cultural cults is the cult of power.

Why didn't Hollywood work in China anymore?

On the one hand, the plot does pull the crotch, and later Hollywood is simply a collection of American-style model dramas, LGBT must be made up, the dog's tail continues to mink and the dog's tail continues to mine, innovation will never be, and there will be only calves left to make up blind fabrication...

On the other hand, people really don't believe that the United States can save the world!

"In fact, the conditions for Chinese films are very superior, and it can even be said that Chinese films have the best development environment in the world except for North America."

"First, the average price of Chinese films is relatively expensive, almost equal to the absolute price of developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, far exceeding the ticket prices of developing countries such as India. For the film industry, this means much more profit per audience, which is quite beneficial for recovering investment, especially the high-cost special effects necessary for modern big productions. ”

"Second, this high-quality market is protected by the state as much as possible. Compare South Korea, which was once known for its strict protection of the country's film industry, which originally required theaters to show 146 days of domestic films a year, but in 2006 the limit was cut to 73 days a year, despite opposition from Korean filmmakers. Our film market is only allowed to introduce 20 part-of-the-book blockbusters every year, and there are also protection measures in the scheduling of films, relying on state-owned companies to monopolize the distribution rights of overseas blockbusters, and the cooperation of the cinema chain with the policies of the film bureau is a beautiful thing that filmmakers from other countries dare not even dream of. ”

"What about censorship?"

"I also don't approve of the current non-graded, turnkey censorship system, but to be fair, in recent years, the constraints on filmmakers have long been less powerful than those at the beginning of the century and earlier.

The sixth generation has long been fully lifted, and what has not yet passed the censorship level is nothing more than too much pure color blue with too many dew points, bloody or disgusting scenes that can directly cause psychological discomfort, and overly sensitive political topics.

As a producer, I certainly know that these are sometimes useful gimmicks for some films, but no strong film industry in the world has ever been dominated by these genres.

Or to put it more bluntly, if it is reduced to the point that it is impossible to make a movie that the audience wants to watch without relying on these, then this kind of movie can only be called a hunt for curiosity, and there will be no great future at all! ”

"The biggest problem with Chinese films is that there are actually too many Chinese filmmakers, to put it bluntly, the mainstream of Chinese filmmakers, who are too keen to emphasize and maintain their identity as "artists", and still do not understand and disdain pure commercial films.

Even when filming so-called "literary films", many Chinese filmmakers probably feel that if the vast majority of the audience can directly understand the movie in the cinema, they will lose their share, so how can they make the audience confused, how to shoot! ”

With this mentality, how can you compete with Hollywood for audiences? Those who ignore the audience will inevitably be abandoned by the audience! There are still three years, the first decade of the WTO agreement expires, and according to the agreement, we will open up the film market, and when the time comes, we will face head-on competition from Hollywood! ”

Well, aircraft carrier determinism has swiped the screen ...
