With a simple opening, Lu Yu knew in his heart that Shen Mengxi knew how to do shows!

So, she relaxed...

When doing a show, what I'm most afraid of is encountering the kind of person who won't say anything!

"I heard that when you were in college, you contributed to "Movie World" and "Watching Movies"?"

"Yes, at that time, I was passionate and generous, and I scolded Fang Xuan, and there was a feeling that the movies in the world were just like this, and I dared to criticize anyone!"

"I've seen a manuscript you wrote about "Wu Ji", and you belittled the whole story to nothing..."

"The so-called magical epic is not really detached from life, it is just higher than life, the death point of "Wuji" lies in the construction of the worldview, which has not reached perfection, the space is overflowing, the director is very thoughtful, he wants to build a magical world, but there are too many ideas, and in the end only a magical shell is built?"

"Wow, do you remember what you wrote?"

“... Of course, I wrote it out one stroke at a time!"

"Then why don't you write movie reviews after graduation?"

Shen Mengxi touched his nose with emotion: "After all, you have entered the industry, and the person you criticize is likely to be your partner... Forget it. And after entering the industry, I know a lot about the current situation of domestic films, and many times I will be more tolerant..."

"Tolerance?"

"On the whole, the film marketization is progressing, many excellent movies stand out, and the audience does not have to be blockbusters, for example, in the first half of the year, "Jiangshan Beauty", the box office suffered a huge loss..."

"That's why you make movies?"

"Yes!"

With a simple opening, Shen Mengxi answered all questions, and the recording went smoothly.

In the middle part, about "Ip Man"...

"I heard that you are going to invest in "Ip Man", is it not a whim?"

"I spent a few months in the U.S. last year, in addition to executive producing 'Uninvited' and writing a book called 'Moving Maze,' and spent most of my time researching how non-English films can break into the U.S. market... Then I met the one who opened the martial arts gym in Chinatown, he was learning Wing Chun, I talked to him for a few days, I learned a lot of things, and I also knew Ip Man for the first time, he was committed to carrying forward Wing Chun all his life, and he received countless apprentices, including Bruce Lee!"

"Then I asked him if he would buy tickets to see a movie about Ip Man if I made a movie, and he nodded affirmatively..."

Shen Mengxi finally added: "I think there is a market for this!"

"Have you checked the information?"

"I checked a little, but it was basically useless in the movie, 80% of it was fiction..."

Shen Mengxi's expression was a little embarrassed, Lu Yu received the signal, quickly changed the topic, and asked about Wang Jiawei...

Why the embarrassment?

Because the character of Ip Man, if characterized by composition, belongs to the standard counter-revolutionary!

Otherwise, he would not have abandoned his wife and children and went to Hong Kong in 49...

You can't think about this kind of thing, and the movie also changed the time of leaving Foshan into 1938...

......

"There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and similarly, Ip Man and Wing Chun, this theme, everyone can shoot, you can't shoot because you want to shoot, you can't shoot it, and casually say that others plagiarize, such slander, I won't accept it!"

"He slandered me like this, and there are still a bunch of people on the Internet who support him and say that they want to ban me..."

"Of course, now that "Ip Man" has been released, the word-of-mouth box office is good, which also proves that our "Ip Man" has nothing to do with Mr. Wang Jiawei, but there is one thing that I always remember!"

"What's the matter?"

"They actually openly said that I don't understand movies, so I want to talk about this!"

"Movies, what we most advocate is Hollywood's industrialized production model, which sells movies as products. The genre film promoted by Hollywood is one of the means, which allows the audience to have an area of expectation for the film in advance, which is conducive to the distribution of the film to a certain extent. Mr. Wang Jiawei's film does not conform to this model at all, if the entire film market is full of Wang Jiawei, then investors would have left this market a long time ago. ”

"Of course, when I say these things now, you may not take it seriously, because I am not a director, I am just a representative of the producer, and I will make a movie in the second half of the year, and when the time comes, everyone will judge which is better and which is inferior!"

Lu Yu finally had a chance to speak: "You want to be a director?"

"Yes..."Seeing Lu Yu seemed a little incredulous, Shen Mengxi didn't care: "What's so difficult about the director? The script is written, the right actor and the right photographer are found, and the director is responsible for shouting 'Click' and 'Action!'..."

Shen Mengxi was very restrained, he originally wanted to say, 'Bolt dog, hang a director's name tag...', but swallowed it raw...

It's so offensive!

Lu Yu shook his head: "What you said is too simple... Can you tell us more about your movie?"

"The project is ongoing and now Leonardo is being contacted..."

"Leonardo, you mean Leonardo DiCaprio?"

"Yes, he's quite satisfied with the script, and now he's talking about the price!"

Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder, "Is it true?"

Shen Mengxi was surprised and asked: "What's the joke about this, my script is well written, the producer is Twentieth Century Fox, Leonardo likes this story..."

“...”

"Actually, it's like this, this story is called Manchester by the Sea, and it's a very sad story. Originally, I didn't plan to be a director myself, didn't I be told 'I don't understand movies', I just wanted to prove that I still know movies!"

"And my movies will definitely not play that kind of messy mood, will not show flesh, and will not attract the audience with things with a blue color!"

......

There is only one episode of this episode, and Shen Mengxi recorded it for more than two hours.

What he said was enjoyable, and the audience listened to it very enjoyable, which is very different from the previous "Lu Yu Appointment" - Shen Mengxi doesn't hide his true thoughts very much!

Lu Yu also likes him a lot, and agrees to do it again to promote "Painted Skin"...

After finishing the recording, Shen Mengxi drove away from Daxing and prepared to return to the company.

Suddenly received a call from Chen Liming.

The fat man asked him to go to the swimming pool...

"I'll be there in a minute!"

It's nothing to do anyway.

In fact, during this time, newspapers, the Internet, and TV were all reporting on the Olympic Games, and the public intellectuals were talking about 'extravagance and waste' on the Internet in a variety of rhythms, satirizing the political axe and saving face.

Netizens followed and discussed...

About the film, there is very little discussion ...

After all, movies are not a necessity of life.

For the public, if you don't watch movies, there is no cultural entertainment at all?

There are too many substitutes, and the way to enjoy the body and mind is gone - tearing up with people on the Internet, tearing for half an hour, and then winning, this feeling is by no means comparable to watching a movie!

Yesterday's box office of "Ip Man" was 19 million...

It is estimated that it will only reach around 55 million by the first weekend.

It already accounts for more than 70% of the market!
