First of all, the current industrial pattern of Chinese films is very similar to the United States in the 70s of the last century!

I say this, of course, for some reason:

The Paramount Act of 1948 directly contributed to the big studios giving up their monopoly on channels, and the American film industry entered another cycle.

Financial and insurance institutions also began to deeply intervene in the Hollywood production chain at this stage, and some independent production companies quickly accepted them, allowing insurance companies to control and supervise the production process, which contributed to the development of large studios in the direction of agency - the producer system!

The segmentation, specialization, and genre of American films were also developed at this stage.

Before the 80s, the film industry in the United States mainly performed on the board and set the project!

Talk about people, look at talent...

It's similar to the current context of Chinese film creation...

After the resurgence of capital, there will be a more calm creative environment - when everyone has become a master, the main reason for who can win at this time is not how right you are, but how stupid the opponent is!

To put it simply, the reason why Shen Mengxi can continue to succeed is not only because of the vision of leading the times, but most importantly, the opponent keeps making mistakes...

"1942" is certainly a good movie, with profound ideas and revealing human nature...

But after the meteorological rise of a comedy movie, it was doomed to tragedy!

......

Shen Mengxi doesn't like to mix with those people in the Beijing circle, the main reason: these people have too strong daddy flavor!

The sense of superiority is palpable.

It may be a specialty of old Beijing, deeply influenced by aristocratic culture, and always thinks that he is a big courtyard disciple, and he doesn't look down on people outside the courtyard...

From this point of view, the trajectory of Feng Xiaogang's life, before "Mobile Phone 2", was a typical character of the actor of Huayuwen - except for his appearance.

You see, the actor of Huayu Wen must have an ordinary background...

Then I can live by me, not by the sky, and realize the counterattack of Dick Silk!

In the middle, there must be supporting roles that professionally provide face slaps, such as Wang Shuo, Ma Weidu and others.

The reality is the same, as far as you look at the news revelations in those years, Wang Shuo always mentions Feng in a condescending tone, as if as a writer who has not formed a work for many years can always be a first-class director as a life mentor;

Ma has openly talked about Feng's low-minded posture when he was young and messing around with them.

In addition to explaining the closure of this circle and Feng's situation back then, this incident is also a reason why they make outsiders disdainful - they look at people by looking at their backgrounds, Feng's father is not a high-level cadre, and he moved out of the compound with his mother at a very young age.

If you say that Feng is despised by you because he "can speak", "observes words and feelings", "always stands last", and "has the ability to see", then there is no need to say it, because many people don't like this kind of people who are bent and welcome;

But isn't it a bit of a fuck up that you look down on him just because he used to live in a compound and later moved out, or because his parental status is not as high as your parents?

Live in the Qing Dynasty!

You're gone early in the morning!

If you clearly say that in order to become famous and make money, Feng Xiaogang will shoot whatever the audience wants, and he has no style of an artist at all, so he despises him, then I also respect your opinion, but you also cooperate with Ya?

What's the matter, why are you volunteering to help Feng write a notebook?

Confiscation of money?

From this point of view alone, Feng Xiaogang is really admirable!

Of course, "1942" has nothing to do with these people, the original work of this movie is Liu Zhenyun...

Filming "1942", Feng Xiaogang was under a lot of pressure!

This movie is completely his personal choice.

He himself said afterwards that he was prepared for a bad box office ...

In fact, when a director is ready to shoot a subject that interests him, he is ready to lose money - such a thing as private goods is not in line with the public's pleasure.

Then, Huayi lost a lot this year!

"Tai Chi" lost more than 100 million, and "1942" couldn't afford to lose, not only couldn't afford to lose, but also undertook the task of raising Huayi's market value.

So what to do?

Go on the field!

Backstage at the Beijing Convention and Exhibition Center, it will be the premiere of "1942", Feng Xiaogang is reading Weibo, Shen Mengxi's Weibo, explaining why he dares to say two billion handicap:

"There are certain commonalities in the world's film market, and the movies that are most likely to sell at the box office in the market are special effects blockbusters and national comedies. ”

"The reason why I said that "One Shot to the End" + "Thai Embarrassment" can win more than 2 billion handicap is because these two movies have the attributes of national comedy, and it is not surprising that they will join forces to dominate the entire Chinese New Year file. ”

"I don't mean to look down on my opponents, I respect all films, but the film market is about winner-takes-all, especially the Chinese film market. ”

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh...

It's stressful!

Especially when I clicked on the comments, someone asked Shen Mengxi, 'What will happen to the box office of "1942". ’

Shen Mengxi replied: "It is estimated that it will not be too good, the mainstream audience's value appeal for literature and film art is still "consummation", many people watch movies to be "cool", in order to relax, they don't want to accept two hours of inner torment in the cinema. However, director Feng Xiaogang has also reached the age of willfulness, and it is good to make a few movies that he thinks are valuable, and the same is true for A, after A-Mou joined our company, the films and themes selected have no market prospects, but we will still invest...'

Well, it's a coincidence!

However, no matter how much pressure there is, you have to get on it.

Ready to fly, I had to send ...

Press conference, Q&A time for reporters:

"I think the audience needs different movies, and the movies need to be very rich, so that everyone can be very happy after watching it, and some will get catharsis, but the movie "1942" has its own feeling of watching this movie, and I can't influence the audience. I hope that the audience will feel that they have gained something after watching this movie, and they have not wasted the money for this movie ticket, I think the most important thing is the most important thing. ”

"I want to ask how this movie compares with "Tangshan Earthquake", what are the expectations at the box office?"

"I believe that no director finishes a movie and doesn't have an expectation of his own box office, why didn't I say it this time, because I was afraid of underestimating the box office of this movie. ”

A young reporter asked: "Shen Mengxi produced "One Shot to the End", invited Mr. Ge You to star, and released it on the same schedule as you, do you think it is a threat?"

Huang Zhonglei replied: "It's not a threat or not, the Chinese film market is so big, the audience is interested in different types of movies, some audiences like a deeper plot, and some audiences go to the cinema to be stupid, our goal is the former!"

"Then he said that the Lunar New Year stall took two billion... What do you want to say?"

"Haha... Anyone will say big things, I also said that we Huayi will take 3 billion!"
