After staying in the circle for a few years, Shen Xudong has seen a lot of things...

Let's say the sixth generation.

I used to think that these people were pro-Western in their bones...

In fact, no, they have personally felt the major changes brought about by the transformation of the economic system to China's social relations, interpersonal relationships, and family relations, plus they are basically academics, and they are also studying Western film theory.

Their work is closer to the New Wave, indulging in the thrill of self-expression, but without impartiality borrowing the framework of realism.

But their movies are also problematic, the biggest problem is the morality at the bottom, where the bottom is righteous...

Actually, these people are also very pitiful!

The films of the future, whether in terms of presentation or technology platform, are not something that the sixth generation can operate and understand.

What's more, they still put up a shelf and put up scores, treating the director as their personal art.

To put it bluntly, the sixth generation is a believer in art films, who play art when they are not qualified to play art and play themselves to waste; At the same time, they are also believers in some capital, they know the nature of capital, and they participate in politics when they are not qualified to participate, and they play themselves crippled...

The sixth generation is a group of self-centered people who were once in the best position, but because of their ego, they refuse to learn new knowledge, refuse to integrate into the market...

has the opportunity to see the world, but has not developed the worldview that filmmakers should have.

Knowledge, insight, cultural literacy, and narrow-mindedness are unexpected.

Generally narcissistic, feeling like an artist...

In fact, I don't understand anything, the most typical is Zhang Yuan, who took drugs and spoiled his brain, and made a "Lobster Detective" directly made a meal with top configuration into shit!

However, Lou Ye is not bad.

At first, I thought I was pretending to be a girl, but he can still maintain his energy from his debut to the present...

Moreover, Qin Hao, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Xun, Hao Lei, Tan Zhuo, Qi Xi, the current hot acting stars, when they were not very famous, they all cooperated with Lou Ye, and several of them have been cooperating for a long time!

His technique is quite powerful, "Tuina": using audio-visual to show the blind is really unprecedented.

Comparing the two films "Sound of Metal" and Taiwan's "Silent", you know that Lou Ye is a director of another level...

However, appreciation is appreciation, Shen Xudong will never cooperate with him in his life.

"I'm making popular films, and the films I make must meet the aesthetics of the masses, maybe a little higher, but not too much..."

"What is a popular movie?"

"For the average viewer, what they want out of the film is a "spectacle" experience, such as the beautiful alien world in Avatar, the epic narrative of The Lord of the Rings, and so on.

The impact experience that the audience intuitively feels through the movie: visual effects, auditory effects, plot level, lens language level, etc., will make their senses and thoughts moved or shocked.

From this point of view, if a movie can achieve this level, it is already a good movie in the eyes of fans: even if it is only "a certain local link" and "good sentence" in the movie that shocks them.

If there's still something to think about, it's a classic movie! That's what I'm going to do! ”

Speaking of which, Shen Xudong gave an example: "Tang Detective" is a film that conforms to the public's aesthetics, but it is one level higher than the public, because I played a little flower job at the end..."

Zhang Songwen: "What kind of little flower work? Isn't Snow the murderer? ”

"I'll arrange for Dan to appear eventually..."

"Dan... Sonpa's son? ”

"Yes..."Shen Xudong simply helped sort out the whole movie: "Actually, Si Nuo and Dan were exchanged for murder, Si Nuo killed Song Pa, and Dan was responsible for solving Li, but the arrival of Tang Ren and Qin Feng made Si Nuo change his mind and didn't let Dan come forward..."

Shen Teng interjected: "Why... Is it for a sequel? ”

"Yes!"

"Is there a sequel to this?"

"Of course there is, the next one is still in Bangkok, and then I'm going to New York, and I've planned seven or eight of them..."

……

Evenings in Bangkok are especially good for eating barbecue and chatting...

Shen Xudong was particularly interested in chatting this evening, and several people chatted about the recent situation of Hollywood movies dominating the mainland market.

Zhang Songwen mentioned that the Hong Kong film market was broken by Hollywood...

Shen Xudong smiled: "Hollywood blockbusters have been conquering cities in the whole world since the nineties, the big box office of Hong Kong films in Southeast Asia is gone, Taiwan is gone, South Korea began to develop its own films in the nineties, restricting foreign films, this box office is slowly gone, there is no market, there is no investment, no investment, of course, the film is slowly shrinking..."

"The film industry relies heavily on offline cinemas, and the main income of the entire industry is the box office, but since 95 years, the box office revenue of Hong Kong films has been shrinking rapidly..."

"Because of the system of selling films?"

"It's just one of them, the main thing, it's really not Hollywood!"

Selling film flowers is more about selling casts, so as to recover costs in advance and ensure that you don't lose money, but when the quality of the movie declines and the star's cards are not good, no one will be fooled for the second time!

If it's just the quality of the film, the key is that many people didn't shoot it at all after selling the film.

Pure money!

In addition to the box office fiasco of "Jigong", the main reason for the eight major film companies in Taiwan to force the palace is that they bought a large number of film contracts, but they couldn't get the film - there are a lot of them, about hundreds!

Then the Hong Kong filmmakers collectively pretended to be forced - they felt that the Taiwanese film companies couldn't bear it, but they didn't expect the Taiwan film companies to directly open up Hollywood films.

Screening Hollywood movies makes more money, and they don't sell films, and Taiwanese film companies are not stupid, so they naturally choose to open Western films!

"So the trend is the same as before?"

“… It's different, our audience actually prefers to watch their own stories! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly realized that Bao Qiang hadn't spoken until now, so he diverted the topic: "Bao Qiang, why don't you speak?" ”

"I don't understand what you're saying... I'm not going to talk about it..."

""Tang Detective" is finished, what kind of drama do you have?"

Bao Qiang said: "There is a TV series looking for me, "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", I play Li Yuanba!" ”

"How did you come up with this play?"

"Teacher Shan Tianfang invited, I have liked Teacher Shan Tianfang since I was a child..."

Well, that's understandable ...

Shen Xudong looked at Shen Teng: "... What about you? After going back, you will continue to record "Running Man"? ”

Shen Teng nodded, and explained by the way: "Actually, there are many scenes looking for me, but the scripts are so bad..."

"That's... What about the odeon? ”

Zhang Songwen shrugged: "Continue to be a teacher, and run the field by the way..."

"Running the field?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Running the crew, giving performance guidance to the actors... That's how I knew him. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Teng and Zhang Songwen: "I feel that the filming of "Tang Detective" is not enjoyable, what about you?" ”

Shen Teng was puzzled: "Not fun?" ”

"If you don't like it, let's have another movie!"
