Chapter 32: Sexy Dream Creek Online Hammer Man (5/5)
Many people have watched "Let's Talk", and there must be a few so-called youth representatives who don't speak well...
This is normal, variety shows, there must be a villain!
It is not uncommon to create conflicts and recreate solutions that have aroused heated discussions among netizens.
However, Shen Mengxi thinks that harmony is quite good-looking...
Moreover, that conversation just now is popular enough to sweep the whole network.
Mostly, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him.
I looked at the answer in advance - everything he said will be verified in the future!
So, he stood calmly and waited for the question...
......
"Teacher Shen, many people praise you as a genius, do you know?"
“(・_・?)”
Shen Mengxi looked puzzled...
"It's just that if you write a book, you can be the best-seller in the country, and you can win an Oscar for any movie... Why are you so good?"
""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is really not written by me, I refer to the Tang Dynasty legend "Youyang Miscellaneous", "Hanshu Western Regions Biography", the source of the whole story is "Raiders of the Lost Ark", I wonder why we don't have this kind of exploration, treasure hunting, and then write it by hand... As for what you said about taking an Oscar casually, there are a lot of things involved, first of all, last year was a small year, there were no particularly outstanding movies, "Hunting" is the one with the best audience reputation among several nominations, and secondly, our public relations line is very correct, and public opinion or something, anyway, it's not as simple as you see..."
"Let me tell you this, if you want me to win the Oscar again, unless I can make a movie that transcends the times, otherwise, it's impossible!"
"Also, I'm not a genius... I only scored more than 400 points in the college entrance examination!"
This one...
In fact, the questions raised by these youth representatives were basically taken from the Internet.
Many netizens think that Shen Mengxi is awesome, he became a monk halfway, and he has done one thing to the top, and many people compare him with Quentin...
And then there's the second question: "Why did you make two films that were foreign languages?"
“... It just so happened that it happened. ”
"Well, I'll be honest, the reason I made movies was simple, I wanted to prove 'I know movies!'"
"At that time, everyone thought that it was very powerful to be able to make movies in the United States, and the goal of many Hong Kong directors was to break into Hollywood, so my direct starting point was their end... The first film, "Manchester by the Sea", was originally intended to be published, because this theme is relatively mournful, and it is not suitable for film adaptation, and if ordinary actors play it, I am afraid it will be a huge loss!"
"It just so happens that Leonardo wants to challenge, so I'll shoot it!"
"I didn't expect it to sell very well, and the reputation was also good, and then I cooperated with Leonardo in "Hunting"..."
"Then what do you think is the biggest gap between Chinese and American films?"
Shen Mengxi thought for a while and replied: "I won't say much about technology or something, I think the biggest difference is the professionalism of the behind-the-scenes staff, the most powerful thing about Hollywood is that he can bring together the world's top talents!"
"I filmed "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Hunt", in addition to waiting for Leonardo's schedule, the most important thing is to wait for Emmanuel Lubezki's preparations... He's the best cinematographer I've ever met, have you seen Children of Man? The six-minute long shot at the beginning... The first time I watched it, I was directly shocked, that is, I couldn't imagine that someone could shoot a long shot like this, on the other hand, the long shot of many of our movies is just long!"
"I'm very sensitive to the picture, so as long as it's a movie I'm involved in, the color grading of the picture must be a color that the audience is particularly comfortable with, the soft white light of "Introduction to Architecture", the slightly yellow memory color of "33 Days of Broken Love"... But when I brought this up, many people in my team, including my team, didn't think it was necessary because the audience couldn't understand it!"
"The audience doesn't understand color, but they should know what color looks good... I don't need to mention this when I work with Emmanuel Lubezki, he is far more sensitive to the picture than I am, and often I only think of things, he has already done in advance!"
"My team is basically the top group of people in China, but many times, they really can't keep up with my thinking!"
"You don't think censorship..."
"Censorship is just an external factor, do you think Hollywood has no censorship? Why do Hollywood big productions smell like popcorn? Because it has too many things to scruple about, it wants a global market, so it can't mess with any political or religious flavor... If you want to watch something a little deeper, it is recommended that you go and watch American dramas, Tudou Video has an American drama channel!"
"One more thing, censorship, every country has its own standards, the United States has the MPAA, he will decide whether the film is R or whatever, will ask the studio to make such and such changes. The same goes for censorship in China... You can't just ask for your own freedom, in fact, we are really good at making words, you see the word freedom, it looks like a rule!"
So far, it's been relatively mild...
......
"You've been co-producing with China and the United States, and then Wanda suddenly bought AMC?
"What's the pressure on me?"
"It's no secret that movies are all money-intensive..."
"You don't know how to make movies, Wanda wants to transform into an asset-light company, why did you acquire AMC? I don't have to do this, the "Hunger Games" series, the "Fifty Degrees" series, at least bring billions of dollars... Why should I buy a theatrical chain? I think it's more exciting to make dollars and invest overseas, right?"
"You don't have to read too much into it, in fact, it's the same reason as Sony's acquisition of MGM Columbia Pictures..."
"You're not optimistic about Wanda?"
"I don't think it's useless, and I don't know Wang Jianlin... But I'm really shocked, I still have the courage to do real estate, and I dare to spend 20 billion to buy an American theater chain with a debt of 100 billion... Our profit last year was just over 5 billion, and at most we built a few studios in China..."
After a pause, Shen Mengxi asked, "Which of you has been in the United States?"
A few people raised their hands, and Shen Mengxi asked again: "Are you going to study abroad or do business?"
"Study Abroad... It's good to study abroad, and the campus is probably the closest thing to a utopia in the world... In fact, the United States is not as free as everyone thinks... It's hard to do business in the U.S., and it's the same for making movies, Bren House was created by me, and so was S Studio, but I have very little say in these two companies... They kind of looked down on me..."
"Hostile to the Chinese... Especially in recent years, conservative forces in the United States have risen, and many Americans have scolded Chinese-style imperialism..."
"We must rely on China and have our own motherland as a backer, so that we can go more steadily and further in the future, and we should not blindly develop globally, which is meaningless..."
"You can follow a company called Netflix, and next year they will launch an American drama "House of Cards", and Netflix will subvert the entire industry!"
