Chapter 19: New Friends (part 2 of 4)
By the way, Xu Zhiyuan also asked about "The Ferryman"...
"I'm so disappointed in Wong Kar-wai, four years, to hand over such a thing... To put it mildly, with the level of "The Ferryman", I can shoot it in less than a week! β
"The director is Zhang Jiajia"
"Don't be funny, if it's really directed by Zhang Jiajia, how can Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu join?"
After a pause, Shen Xudong added: "Some bad movies are easy to watch after watching, and they even want to watch it a second time, which is the best among bad movies;
Some bad movies are forgotten after watching them once, and they don't want to watch them a second time, which is a pollution-free bad movie, which is the middle of the bad movies;
And the inferior bad movies are terrible, the first time I watched it, I stumbled, I dropped eye drops several times halfway, after watching it once, I was disgusted for a long time, I had nothing to think about, and I would feel disgusting, "The Ferryman" belongs to this category! β
"There were a lot of these types last year, right?"
"Well, "Legend of the Gods" is enough to be included in the bad movies of film and television..."
"You said before that the Western Magical Aesthetic..."
"That's right, including last year's Spring Festival block "Zhong Kui Fu Demon Demon: Snow Demon Spirit"... It's all typical of the Western magic aesthetic... Filming this kind of theme, the audience is looking forward to seeing the immortal magic powers of soaring clouds and fog, calling for wind and rain, moving mountains and seas, and scattering beans into soldiers, but you wishfully let the alien battleship soldiers come under the castle... Aesthetic mismatch! β
Xu Zhiyuan nodded: "The aesthetics of "The Great Wall" are oriental enough! β
"As far as possible, the special effects of the city in the sky took a lot of time..."
"What about The Ferryman?"
"The Ferryman is simply not well adapted... I thought that with a big IP + big star, I found the box office password..."
After complaining a few words, the recording was almost over, and then Xu Zhiyuan remembered something: "By the way, Guo Jingming's "Jue Ji" was scolded by many people this year, and you didn't speak... Can you tell us what you think of him? β
"To him or to the film?"
"Let's talk about the movie, why did "Jue Ji" fail?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while and said: ""Little Times" is quite successful, handsome men and beautiful women, exquisite costumes, and it is not outdated today, Guo Jingming successfully conveyed the top luxury life atmosphere in fashion magazines to a wider group of young people through film shooting. The friendship between best friends in the movie who is more in love than Jin Jian does not tear cracks, and does not divide into three, six, nine and so on by origin... This is very much in line with the imagination of fans of "Little Times", so "Little Times" is very popular... He is a live-action CG movie... Forget it, I can't go on, the box office failure of "Jue Ji" confirmed the correctness of the decline of the fan economy... Why can't it be compared to the blockbuster of "Little Times", because Guo Jingming's fans are not strong enough! β
"So, you said 'don't have to pay attention' from the beginning?"
"That's right!" Shen Xudong nodded: "It's just a fan movie... It's a non-mainstream genre in itself! β
"Then what do you think about Guo Jingming himself..."
"I don't know much about him, but I've seen quite a few people like him!"
Xu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" β
"The small county town comes out... Suddenly I arrived in a big city, and I felt a big gap... You may be a celebrity in a small county, and no matter how bad you are, you are a literary pacesetter or something, but after you arrive in a big city, you find that you are nothing... This sense of disparity has the potential to destroy a person! β
"You're from a small city, right?"
"Luzhou is the new frontline... Well, I actually just arrived in BJ and couldn't fit in, but later, I found that BJ is a city, no one can afford to change much, the ancient capital of more than 700 years, the common people are used to seeing the city head of the changing king flag, used to seeing the ups and downs of dignitaries.
The bottom layer and the top floor are almost implicated, and the waves at the top cannot even stir up a splash at the bottom floor.
At BJ, no one takes anyone seriously! Don't think anyone is awesome... Don't say that I'm worth tens of billions, even if I'm worth more than 100 billion, when people see me, the most they can say: 'Good job, keep working hard!' ββ
Xu Zhiyuan nodded: "Indeed, I also think BJ is very good!" β
"It still varies from person to person" Shen Xudong added: "In Guo Jingming's "Success Studies", if you have money, you have the right to speak, and if you have money, you will succeed... I don't know how his worldview was formed... But crude values and worldviews, simplistic social logic...
Therefore, although "Little Times" was criticized, he was indifferent, 'how can movies speak by the box office', and when it came to "Jue Ji", he couldn't bear it, crying that netizens targeted him for his personal talent, which led to the poor box office of "Jue Ji", a typical businessman who values profit over word-of-mouth image..."
In the end, Shen Xudong sighed: "I still like Guo Jingming in "Left Hand Reflection, Right Hand Years", he wrote confident and rebellious words: I hope that all people can be happy and can walk quietly and contentedly in their respective cities, instead of standing at the crossroads with a flamboyant face and losing all directions..."
β¦β¦
"Reflection of the Left Hand, Years of the Right Hand", "The Edge of Love and Pain"...
Shen Xudong also couldn't put down the two books back then, and copied a lot of sentences, similar to 'Memories are like water poured in the palm of your hand, no matter you spread it out or hold it tightly, it will still flow clean from your fingers, drop by drop, after all.' 'One day, when I grow up, I want to look back at my growth and look back at itβmy shining years, and then I can say to them, I'm glad to have met you.'" β
Guo Jingming was also a young man full of literary and artistic talent back then!
This person has nothing to pay attention to, everything he has is that his heart is not strong enough...
No amount of fame and fortune can comfort a poor man with a barren heart...
If a writer's status is not determined by his work, then his position must be awkward and uncertain.
β¦β¦
In the horse farm, Shen Xudong is feeding forage and brushing horses...
Wu Jing took Yu Qian to find him.
It was to introduce Yu Qian to him...
Wu Jing has a good relationship with Yu Qian, otherwise, "Wolf Warrior 2" would not have found someone to make a cameo...
Shen Xudong said hello and came out of the stable, Yu Qian looked at his horse farm with a little envy: "These are all good horses!" β
ββ¦ I don't have any other hobbies..."Shen Xudong smiled: "Most of them are purchased by myself, and those horses over there are fostered by friends..."
"Don't you have a pony?"
"Nope!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "I was originally going to raise it, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, but didn't it expand into a resort, and I didn't have a special horse farm..."
Wu Jing interjected: "There are many ponies in Teacher Yu's horse farm..."
"I know, I also listen to cross talk!"
The sky thunders and splits the zoo, and every horse contains the blood and blood of the teacher!
After changing places and sitting down, Wu Jingdao: "I heard that you have been very anxious recently... I'll bring Teacher Yu over to explain it to you! β
"Who said that?"
