Shen Mengxi rarely shouts for a movie, and last year, only "The Little Fox and the Demon Hunter" enjoyed this kind of treatment...

It was the first spin-off film of the Painted Skin Cinematic Universe, and the treatment was definitely different!

Actually, he originally planned to blow "Walking with God" this year, and "The Heartbreaker" will be forgotten...

After all, if you brush your face too much, it's not worth much!

However, there is still a stream of rhetoric on the Internet - blowing "Saidek Bale", and then despising other domestic films...

This Nima is about to speak!

Oh, "Saidek Bale" was also released, and it was released on April 1, with 8% of the films scheduled on the first day, and the box office did not reach 800,000...

A bunch of people shouted for it, including 'Young Leader Han Han'...

The interview with him was Ah Lang, editor-in-chief of Watching Movies magazine.

Mengxi now insists on subscribing to the magazines "Sanlian", "People", "Southern Weekly", "Watching Movies", as well as "Film Art", "Contemporary Films", "World Films", "Journal of Beijing Film Academy"...

As for magazines such as "Youth Cinema Handbook", "Universal Screen", "Popular Cinema", etc., they are no longer subscribed!

There are a lot of magazines, which have basically been included in the type of watchable or not, and "Watching Movies" also belongs to this category...

The reason is simple: there are too many contacts with movie information, and it is not as scarce as it used to be!

"Watching Movies" stood out back then because the amount of information was extremely large and complex, and each magazine was densely packed with countless information.

Nowadays, in the era of fast reading, the way of large and full magazines is gradually declining...

Ah Lang is also very frustrated, he feels that movies in today's era have become stupid and degenerate - he has learned to take a detour, learned to go directly to the senses such as sight and hearing, and the movement in his mind is becoming less and less, and watching movies has changed from mental work to physical work, and flattening has become inevitable.

Shen Mengxi has known Ah Lang for a long time, and when he was in school, he wrote a script for "Watching a Movie"...

As soon as they met, he complained to Shen Mengxi, and Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "In human history, people like you have appeared in different eras, and in the field of movies, people like you will be defined as the conscience of an era." ”

"Criticism is simple, but it is only responsible for criticism, and there is no constructive opinion. That's a big problem!"

"But criticism is also useful!"

"The age of the Internet has arrived, and in this era of allowing for more freedom, everyone has the possibility to have a voice. ”

"The reason why you are depressed and miserable is because you can't get used to it, Qian Zhongshu has a good saying: people often mistake their desire to change the world for their ability to change the world. ”

"And, as I used to find out when I was writing a manuscript, a lot of film critics are looking for the meaning of a film... Cinema is not an art at all, but a technique, a rich experience and fun. ”

"Forgetting the pain of the world in popcorn movies is what movies can do, and finding philosophical avenues in art movies is also what movies can do. It's true that the times are fast food, but countless filmmakers are still trying to figure out how to make everything better, but what they're thinking about is not to pour meaning out of the script and film, as you do, but to write a story in earnest.

The big waves wash the sand, we will finally wait for the day when the gold emerges from the sand, you are a wave who pursues literary and artistic philosophy, and ordinary viewers who just want to be amused by vulgar comedy in 90 minutes are also waves. Movies are just a genre, a way of expression, don't put it on the altar, why has movies become simple? For the audience, movies themselves are useless, reading books and playing games are not very useful, they are just entertainment! Except that sometimes chatting can also make you different!"

"If you are willing to watch more, there are still many in-depth films at film festivals around the world every year!"

After a while, we officially started talking...

......

There's nothing to say about the interview, it's all nonsense, why do you make a science fiction movie?

In order to make money, or to open up new genres...

Of course, this kind of thing can't really be said, Shen Mengxi said very high-soundingly: "We want to take the route of heavy industrial films, and we must make science fiction films!"

"We have to make a standard Hollywood industrial film, otherwise, how can we compete with Hollywood?"

"Science fiction films have high requirements for the film industry, and so far few have done well except Hollywood, "Sadder" and "Hymn to Life" are soft science fiction, and then we will shoot "The Wandering Earth", "The Tide Howls Like a Gun", and being able to make this kind of hardcore science fiction film is a proof that the film industry has reached a new level. ”

Talking about "Saidek Bale"...

"I know this movie... I usually don't like people who pursue their own meaning and dreams, who should spend their own money and other people's money, but flaunt pursuing their own art!"

Ah Lang frowned: "Have you seen it?"

"After a brief understanding, it's not my type of favorites!"

After a pause, Shen Mengxi said one thing: "Last year, the scenery of "Saidek Bale" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, and Wei Desheng was dissatisfied because the film was labeled as "Taiwan, China", and felt that he was being eaten tofu and that he was trampled on the national character... You know what's going on?"

Ah Lang was stunned for a moment...

Shen Mengxi said meaningfully: "Many things can't be looked at simply..."

......

Sending Ah Lang away, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, and after reading the reputation of "The Heartbreaker", the Douban score dropped to 8.1 points...

It's okay, it shows that the audience approves of this movie!

Box office... 19 million, and it should be more than 20 million at the end of today...

After all, the Qingming file is not a big schedule, and it depends on the follow-up trend.

Fortunately, "Titanic" will be released next Tuesday, and in the first weekend, "Heartbreaker" has no opponents.

On Weibo, the marketing account has begun to bring rhythm - of course it is a good rhythm, and it costs money!

It's up to tomorrow's market feedback.

Shaking his head, he was ready to go home, and he had to buy some new dog food for the big golden retriever - after being shaved, he was depressed, and he was kind to him.

When I went out, my phone rang, and it was Li Yiping...

"Hey..."

"What's that?"

"Journey to the West casting... Isn't Nini the heroine?"

"Male... The male protagonist... Heraldry?"

“... What's the use of looking for me for this kind of thing? And isn't "Journey to the West" already filmed?"

"Okay, I'll go to Hengdian tomorrow..."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Mengxi was a little speechless, for the sake of a role, he actually wanted him to come out?

Li Yiping wanted Yin Zheng to star in "Journey to the West", but Zhou Xingchi chose heraldry, why did he choose heraldry, probably because he was a good man - the audience directly substituted...

Zhou Xingchi has been silent for four years, and "Journey to the West" is highly anticipated, and this resource is called an A-level resource.

Actually, Shen Mengxi thinks it doesn't matter, Zhou Xingchi's movies are the only selling factor, whether it is the director or the starring, the actor plays his play, don't think about it...

"The Mermaid" sold more than 300 million, will anyone think it is the credit of the Deng Dynasty?

But then again, "Journey to the West", produced by Tang Ren, why not use Tang Ren's actors?
