On the question of the gap between Chinese and American films...

Actually, our generation has really caught up with the good times.

The first time I came into contact with Hollywood blockbusters was "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Matrix" and other masterpieces that are enough to go down in film history!

Therefore, the later Hollywood productions made people complain!

Indeed, it has completely reduced to an assembly-line model production...

"Fast and Furious 10", "Transformers; Rise of the Power Warriors...

The plot and dialogue are extremely mentally retarded.

The lines all want to learn Marvel-style gags, and the actors greasy to say a stalk that everyone knows is the opposite, and when it comes to the real need for a narrative, the actors read the lines as mechanically and stiffly as AI...

It's rotten!

But, to tell the truth, in terms of production level, Hollywood movies can be said to crush most domestic films...

Hollywood movies are basically based on superhero films with large investment and big productions, because Hollywood films are oriented to the global market, so the production cost of these films is often hundreds of millions of dollars, so whether it is the scale of production or the level of special effects, domestic films are difficult to match, and Hollywood wins the production level...

Why can't it be sold?

Hollywood films are like industrial prefabricated dishes produced on the assembly line, such as KFC and McDonald's, the standard is high, but it will be difficult to make changes and innovations...

In fact, both Hollywood and Hong Kong are their own problems.

Because their old films are still very good!

pulled back, Shen Xudong continued: "I think the first sign of the rise of local films is by no means to enter the world, but to occupy the local ecological niche first, you have to make local audiences like local movies...

In the early years, our film industry liked to cater to Western tastes.

This logic is that the outside world recognizes → win glory for the country→ local audiences are attracted to watch.

However, under this logic, external recognition is more important than local recognition, so local films are branded with exotic colors, not to mention, over time, it will produce a fixed impression that foreign culture is higher than local culture, and local culture still wants to develop, is it not a joke? ”

"When the local audience is not taken care of, you just want to break into the world, and in the end you will not have either."

"Therefore, I think we need a group of people who don't care about the recognition of the outside world and only serve local audiences, so that Chinese films can gradually regain their lost ground in China."

"Don't talk to me about cultural export, many people think that local recognition alone is useless, external recognition is really good! I've always believed that cultural exports are spillovers, not pandering. ”

After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "The film market in Chinese mainland is larger than the film market of the world's third to tenth countries combined, and of course we must focus on the mainland market." ”

"Your so-called overseas market is actually the "golden billion" of developed countries, especially North America, but to be honest, whether Chinese films can be accepted by this market is obviously a matter of national politics, and the relationship with film production is not very big, no matter how well you shoot, people just don't arrange a screen for you! ”

"Then why did many movies sell well overseas before?"

“… Because there is a sense of curiosity..."

……

Starting from "Thai Embarrassment", a group of self-media on the Internet sang about the overseas box office of domestic films...

Indeed, whether it is "Thai Embarrassment" or "Tang Detective", the overseas box office is quite low...

"One Shot to the End" is okay, and it has sold more than 10 million US dollars at the box office overseas.

Of course, it is still not as good as the Three Kingdoms series - "Wolong" has a global box office of more than 300 million US dollars, of which the overseas box office is close to 140 million!

More than 40%!

When it comes to "Thai Embarrassment" and "Tang Detective", can only be in the nest?

In fact, the Three Kingdoms series, the box office in Europe and the United States is not good, mainly relying on the Asian market!

Overseas audiences, especially those in Europe and the United States, are not used to reading subtitles...

- People don't need to read subtitles.

On the other hand, it's really hard to go abroad for something like comedy - Chaplin only has one.

But the self-media doesn't care about this, they conclude from the box office data: Chinese films are regressing.

It's very good!

It's quite normal, these self-media either collect money to do things, or purely reflect on psychology...

There is a saying that goes like this: In the days of Taiwan's power outage, China's major Internet platforms were suddenly cleaned...

……

"The Hobbit" failed to succeed, "Detective Chinatown" still held the single-day box office champion, and then "Les Miserables" was released...

Not at all!

Les Misérables is a musical and dance film...

Naturally, it is contrary to the aesthetics of Chinese audiences!

On the first day of release in the mainland, the film schedule did not reach 10%, and the box office was naturally not high!

Oh, the reason why "Les Miserables" is mentioned is because it was released on February 28, and "Detective Chinatown" was released for 19 days, with a cumulative box office of 1.341 billion, exceeding the 1.339 billion of "Avatar"...

Officially crowned the first in film history...

The next day, all the entertainment newspapers went crazy, and the headlines in the entertainment section were the news that "Tang Detective" surpassed "Avatar"...

The record held by Avatar for three years has been broken!

Of course, it's just the mainland market...

That was exciting enough, Shen Xudong posted a Weibo 'Come on Chinese movies!' ’

Then there are many 'netizens' who question that "Tang Detective" has no gold content in breaking the record of "Avatar", on the grounds that "it largely depends on the expansion of market capacity." The number of screens in the movie is much more now than when "Avatar" was released, and the market is much better. If "Avatar" is released now, the box office will definitely be more than 2 billion! ’

There are also many 'netizens' who say, '"Avatar" is a world record in film history, and "Detective Chinatown" only broke the box office record in the mainland, what is there to be proud of?' ’

And then... A die-hard fan of Shen Xudong directly replied, 'It's useless to find 10,000 reasons, the facts cannot be changed, "Tang Detective" broke the record of "Avatar" in the mainland! Unconvinced! ’

It's hard to say if you can't hold back, anyway, Shen Xudong has been low-key recently...

After the publicity, he didn't go to the seminar on "Tang Detective", organized by the General Administration and the Film Association...

The reason is simple: I'm too tired to go out on vacation!

Did go out - to Hong Kong...

Zhong Lifang discussed with Sammo Hung about restarting the "Five Lucky Stars" series...

"Huang Feihong" and "Fengyun" rebooted, Shen Xudong can understand, after all, this thing belongs to a big IP and has an audience base;

"Best Partner" reboot... Okay...

Cops + Comedy...

It's all good at things!

"Five Lucky Star Series"...

Neurotic, huh?

"Five Lucky Star Series" is a Hong Kong film in the 80s of the last century, both the plot and the sense of the times are very old-in a word, it is not suitable for the requirements of the times!

In fact, when the third part of this series is filmed, it is ready to end - at the end of the third part, more than 100 new and old faces of Hong Kong films came out of the elevator, and I knew that this might be the final chapter of this series, and director Sammo Hung asked everyone to come out once and say goodbye to the audience.

But Golden Harvest wanted to use the "Five Lucky Stars" series to fight "Best Partner", so Dogtail continued to play several mink...

It can be said that the dog-tailed mink has squeezed out the potential of "Five Lucky Stars"!
