Chapter 177: The Market Is Big Enough (Part 2)

Ask a question, what is the most important quality of the UP master?

Of course, it's hot!

"The Great Wall", "Fuchun Mountain Residence", "Fuji Detective", three movies have been released one after another, providing a lot of material for the UP master who specializes in video editing...

But if you pay a little attention, you will know that videos that complain about bad movies often get more hits and are more popular than videos that praise a good work...

After all, everyone has gone to watch a good movie, a bad movie...

Listen to the video explanation and see if the UP master complains!

It's the same with "Little Times"...

Ji Huifu, Guangmu Haifeng, and Duty Risheng 1987 made video clips overnight, complaining about "Little Times"...

is different from the other two UP masters, Ji Huifu is a die-hard fan of Shen Mengxi, she knows him very well, knows the relationship between Mingxi Company and him, and also knows that the project "Little Times" can be established, produced, and distributed, and it must have something to do with him!

For a moment, I was a little disappointed!

The character has collapsed~

In his opinion, Shen Mengxi should not be the kind of mercenary businessman!

Therefore, I have been stealing Shen Mengxi's Weibo for the past few days, and I want to see what he thinks of "Little Times"...

finally waited for him to post on Weibo, but it was actually a 'sour word'...

I really want to scold directly, 'Isn't the movie "Little Times" made by you, what kind of garlic to pretend?'

I still held back and asked him, 'What do you think of 'Little Times'..."

"I really watched "Little Times", Mingxi's internal test screening, overall, the lens language is okay, the soundtrack and costumes are also considered to be the best domestic films, but the content and editing include the picture, I don't like it very much, it's a little too pretentious, too much slow motion, more like a MV, not a movie... As a first-time director, and self-written and directed, he made the common mistake, being too immersed in his own world, ignoring audiences who have not read the original work, "Little Times" is a feast for fans, but for mainstream and non-fans, it is a bit unfriendly!"

"That's it?"

“?”

"Don't you think that such a movie is unfair to the movie? Movies like "Little Times" are complained about while making money at the box office. If bad movies can be sold at a gold price, who will make movies seriously?

In the current situation, political censorship and the bad movie market are so good, who is still conscientious to play a few side balls and carefully talk about something in-depth, since so many people are rushing to make bad movies, then don't they all go to make bad movies.

"Little Times" is scheduled for 45%, Jia Zhangke said: France stipulates that the number of seats of a film in any one theater cannot exceed 1/3, nor can it exceed 1/3 of the total number of screenings in the cinema. The market economy does not mean that there are no constraints, it does not mean that operators can not assume any social responsibility, and a market economy without constraints is an amateur market economy. ”

Shen Mengxi thought for a while and replied: "... There is some truth to your fears, and it is foreseeable that the film market will definitely be filled with a bunch of bad movies in the next two years... However, with me, mainstream movies will always be big-budget commercial films, as long as there are no problems in the mainstream market, fan movies like "Little Times" will be watched by fans at most... It's the sky, the box office is 500 million... I think it's the current public opinion that has caused "Little Times" to be pushed to the forefront, since you know it's a bad movie, why do you still want to discuss it?"

"Actually, when "Twilight" came out, it was also criticized by many mainstream film critics..."

"The Chinese film market is huge enough, as long as the mainstream market is not chaotic, then there is no problem, I think you should complain about the Shanghai Film Festival, it is a mainstream film award, and it actually won the best film for "Little Times"... I'm ashamed!"

......

Shen Mengxi's point of view...

In fact, it makes sense, as long as there is no problem with the mainstream, the so-called fan movies and idol movies, no matter how they jump, what can they do?

The problem is that fan movies and idol movies are simple, especially suitable for new Internet companies, so "You at the Same Table", "Micro Love: Getting Better", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Bride Wars"...

Wait, bad movies are starting to flood the market!

Bad movies can make money and are stable, so why should the opinions of mainstream audiences be considered?

As for what he said, no one cared, and was even regarded by many Guo Jingming's fans as a remark in support of "Little Times"...

When one thing becomes a two-dimensional opposite, black and white, you make objective remarks, and you become a sword in the hands of people with intentions!

Especially "Little Times" broke 200 million in three days and 250 million in four days...

Guo Jingming bluntly said when he was a guest on the talk show, "I am very willing to listen to the hard or immature places that I will have as a rookie director, including artistic techniques and directorial feelings, I can discuss and improve, because everyone wants to do better, and I don't want to be a rookie director forever." ”

"You are like director Mengxi and director Zhang Yi after watching "Little Times", and they objectively pointed out the problems, editing, lens language, including the picture... They also said that they would definitely be attacked by some people for ideology, and what I thought at the time was that they were too careful! Facts have proved that they were right, after the release of "Little Times", many critics came up and said that you have problems with your values and morals, but in fact, where does a movie come from such a big thing?

When he said this, it seemed that Shen Mengxi was in the same camp as him!

It made Shen Mengxi very painful...

Who's on the same side as you?

Then you scold him!

Many people came to Shen Mengxi's Weibo and scolded him in various ways, saying that he aided and abused...

What more people say, 'Bad movies are in charge, Chinese movie pills!'

No... There are a lot of bad movies, you can choose not to watch it, or watch "The Great Wall" again...

By the way, the box office trend of "The Great Wall" is very good, entering the fourth weekend, winning 110 million box office, and 10.5 million on the working day...

successfully brought the cumulative box office into 2 billion.

It also boosted the global box office by $580 million...

————

According to the forecast, the global box office will exceed 600 million US dollars, which is not a big problem!

Shen Mengxi simply left China and went to Iceland...

For no other reason, I can't stand the discussion of "Little Times" in China...

Even the People's Daily is involved - "Little Times 2" and "Small Times 3" cannot be unconditionally connived!

......

Iceland is not isolated...

Internet-connected.

Although the young lady is filming "Interstellar", she is not without free time at all, of course, she pays attention to Weibo, and she also knows that the mainland film industry has been criticizing the small era recently...

As usual, the inventory was collected first, and the hunger was stopped a little, and then he asked: "... Why are so many people scolding "Little Times"?"

Shen Mengxi sighed: "... I don't know. But I regret it, I really shouldn't be objective, either stand in line for support, or directly oppose it, it seems to be an objective attitude, and both sides are not pleased!"

"Didn't you say at the time that this was a fan movie, don't care!"

“... How did I know there would be such a big movement?"

In the original time and space, when there was a controversy in "Little Times", he was busy writing the script, that is, "All the Gods" made by Gao Yitian, and during that time, he was in retreat for three months...

When he came out, he only knew a few words.
