Chapter 292: The Crazy Director... (3/5)
It should be that since last year, the media and radio media have begun to enter the film industry in a big way.
voted for "Mulan", "October Siege", and is also ready to sign director Kai Geda...
There was an uproar in the industry!
Both of these are large media companies, and the national prefix...
Media and radio media have Dragon TV, and TV and radio media have Mango TV...
Just like they themselves said: the publicity and financial advantages we have determine our strategy is to be high-end, and establish our position in the film market in the shortest possible time.
Shen Mengxi didn't want to bird them, he knew this history - these two families said goodbye to the film industry completely.
Because you can't play the market!
But at least in the past two years, the propaganda strength of the two of them is still there...
Think about what it was like when "Three Guns" was released!
The movie is still being released, Mango Channel's "Zero Point Fengyun", including Dragon TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV, all criticized "Three Guns" on TV...
A TV show directly criticizes a movie that is currently in theaters?
Is it really lamenting A's depravity?
!
It's not because of "October Siege" in the same period, several satellite TVs have invested!
Shen Mengxi is not a Mou, he can be light and light, not happy with things and not sad with himself, since he can't get them, then join...
Anyway, in a few years, the influence of TV stations will not be so great...
......
Magnolia results...
A bit of a surprise, "Latent" won "My Captain, My Group", "Latent" won three awards: Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best TV Series, but "Leader" did not receive anything, and only got some comfort in the voting awards.
By the way, "Wang Gui and Anna" also won an award: Best Director!
Best Actress was awarded to Song Dandan in "Marven's War"...
Shen Mengxi was really surprised, because "The Leader" is really like a rare super-long drama that appears on TV!
It stands to reason that Lao Duan's performance style should be quite popular with the academy...
I don't know what the judges think...
And one more thing, "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"... Postponement of the broadcast...
Why?
This year is the 60th anniversary, although the General Administration did not issue a clear document, but the circle is very good: before the National Day, except for the gift drama, all of them are held back to me!
Then "Snail House" and "Wenzhou Family" were lucky...
Because both of these are tribute dramas!
And unlike the gift dramas outside, these two are life type gift dramas!
"Wenzhou Family" and "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" one after another, "Wenzhou Family" has been completed, and it is in the later stage, Zhejiang Satellite TV likes it very much, and won the premiere right, this drama, its Kaikai Wang, Zhang Luyi, Lei Jiayin, actresses have Zhao Liying, Wan Qian's brush experience...
"Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" is still being filmed, and a group of people have changed their experience...
......
"I think it's more appropriate for "Ip Man 2" to be released on July 30... Because last year's "Ip Man" was released on August 1st, the time is about the same!"
"Ouchi's Secret Detective Greyhound" will also be released on July 30..."
"Not only that, "Eavesdropping" on July 24, but also "Silver Empire", "Cyborg"..."
company, a group of people are discussing the release date of "Ip Man 2".
You must choose a better schedule, and the summer schedule is the best choice!
But the competitive pressure is a bit high...
Last year's "Ip Man", if it weren't for "Red Cliff I" and the Olympic Games, how could it have a box office of 200 million!
The mainland box office of "Ip Man 2" is expected to be more than 250 million...
Overseas rights are still taken over by Fox, and this time they are buying it out for $35 million.
"Mengxi, what do you think?"
Shen Mengxi was looking at the film schedule, and raised his head when he heard the words: ""Ip Man" is already a signboard, when it will be released, we decide for ourselves, it is several other movies that should be worried about hitting the schedule, not us!"
This is a bit arrogant, but it is also true!
Regardless of the topicality and cinema resources, it will definitely be inclined to "Ip Man"...
What is there to worry about?
Why do you want to make a sequel?
It's just to ensure the basic disk!
With "Ip Man" as the foundation, how bad can "Ip Man 2" be?
Song Hang nodded: "Okay, then let's announce it to the public, on July 30th, give Wang Jing a little time to adjust!"
"Ip Man 2", Shen Mengxi took a look at it and revised the ending, the referee was crooked, Ip Man was angry and wanted to boycott the game, the boxer provoked, Ip Man shot angrily...
You can't fight at all!
In the original version, the final fight between Ip Man and Western boxers in the ring: the foreign referee deliberately delayed the bell ringing time, so that the boxing champion who had the upper hand could give Ip Man a few more punches;
Ip Man used his leg skills to recover the disadvantage, and the referee immediately changed the rules to prohibit kicking.
The audience was clamoring, but Ip Man obediently complied with it, and didn't even raise the slightest question!
These unfair rules of the ring originated from the manipulation of the colonizers and were a microcosm of the entire colonial system.
This is the paradox of the whole "Ip Man 2": he is not only a national fighter, but also a good citizen of the colony!
So, it's not enough to relieve the gas!
But what does this film mean when it sells nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong?
The description is very much in line with the taste of Hong Kong audiences!
Shen Mengxi changed it, but he didn't have any good ideas - the original "Ip Man 2"
Whether it's in terms of structure, play, or design, there are so many things that it has been successful about...
At the end, the ring scene is used to make the climax, and the freshness is definitely not enough.
In fact, the ring scene is not just a problem of "Ip Man", but the design of action movies has been indiscriminate for a long time, and it is really difficult to innovate!
How can you change it?
Only fighting in the ring is legal and can also reflect the fighting power of the protagonist ...
......
On the 21st, the opening of the Shanghai Film Festival...
Shen Mengxi was too lazy to go, he would rather blow the air conditioner at home than go to Shanghai.
Then, Director Wang Xiaoshuai got nervous, and on the forum, he suddenly criticized Director Lu, Ning Hao and others: "Are they happy when they swarm to make commercial films? Beliefs have fallen, people can't be happy? They must be very envious of me, I can decide my own works." I just said to Ning Hao, you are under the most pressure now, and the box office of your next work is not more than 100 million, which is a failure. ”
It's okay for you to criticize, but why do you think that art films are noble?
What else do you say: 'Some people say that art films don't need support, so I'll do something good before art films die.' ’
I felt that his brain was in water, and he also praised himself: 'I have been a filmmaker for 18 years, and I have not made commercial films because I have insisted on my dreams and beliefs. ’
So, other people's box office success has scourge Chinese movies?
"I talked to Mengxi about what you said," Ning Hao replied directly: "Some of the people who are directors of literary films not only want to despise the audience of commercial films aesthetically, but also crush commercial films in terms of film quality, and want to keep pace with the box office... Why did you take all the good things?"
Wang Xiaoshuai said: "But the film itself also needs to be protected, protect literary films and art films, maybe one or two movies don't make money, it doesn't matter, this is actually a great good deed." I hope you can tell Mengxi to cast two more literary films!"
Ning Hao couldn't hold it back: "His own "Manchester by the Sea" is a literary film, and he also won the Cannes Jury Prize!"
