Shen Mengxi hates fan movies very much!

In the original time and space, in the Chinese film market for a while, Guo Xiaosi could rely on the four "Little Times" series to win 1.8 billion box office, and Deng Chao's two big bad films "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" could also win 1.2 billion box office!

Huang Xiaoming, Fan Biscuit, Wu Yifan, and even Yue Yunpen can all make bad movies, and they can still make a profit with a box office of over 100 million!

made everyone think that this is "people are stupid and money comes quickly", and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have been transformed into directors, screenwriters, and producers.

It has also led to many singing and dancing little fresh meat, who have not learned how to act at all, and have also entered the film industry to play the starring role, and even with the swiping of tickets and locking the venue by fanatical fans, many shoddy bad movies can achieve quite good box office and give investors full returns.

Those fans of traffic stars don't care whether the film itself is good or bad, as long as their idol is the best starring ranking within three times, the box office can be used for them to brag in the "fandom"!

Moreover, in order to bring more and better movie resources to their idols, these fans are really willing to work hard to act as a waterman who doesn't want money on the Internet, and at the same time work hard to rent the venue and lock the venue, five brushes, ten brushes, and twenty brushes.

Therefore, no matter how bad the films starring these traffic stars are, even if they are scolded by film critics and the audience as a scumbag, they are guaranteed to have a box office of 120 million 200 million.

Shen Mengxi was forced by this situation to write about the garbage network...

In the end, I couldn't help but squirt, and then became a well-known conscience in the circle...

The kind with more than one million Weibo followers!

However, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your position.

Is there a need for fan movies like "Little Times" to exist?

There are still.

First of all, many creators, including Guo Jingming, have said: Little Times is a fan movie, and it is made for people who like to watch Little Times!

Then, a bunch of people rushed up and said that "Little Times" is not good-looking, the three views are not correct, and Balabala...

People don't shoot it for you!

Secondly, this series is really making money!

Investment income up to 1:10!

Finally, it should be in 2016, the General Administration promulgated a rule: personal privacy shall not be hyped, and the pleasure of showing off wealth shall not be promoted, and film and television works will no longer dare to blatantly wear mink to show off their wealth!

Therefore, the "Little Times" series has become a masterpiece...

"Thirty Only", showing off the rich shot, the ladies took a group photo with Hermes bags...

This horse is also called showing off wealth?

The right way to show off your wealth should be: Fendi's furs, BOTTEGAVEA's dresses, 48 million jade bracelets, and the endless cloakroom...

Of course, Shen Mengxi is the kind of person who wants to set up an archway when he is a bitch, so even if he agrees to do "Little Times", he will not use the name of Mengxi.

It just so happened that Mingxi needed a series to tell a story...

LeTV's Zhang Zhao can rely on "Little Times" to estimate the market value to 8 billion, why can't Mingxi?

Then be it!

......

Shen Mengxi doesn't care much about "Little Times", no matter how awesome the big waves are, as time goes by, the market will always mature one day.

Movies are essentially content industries!

It's not something that can be overturned by any Internet customer.

He is very busy now, "The Great Wall" has entered the final stage of preparation, and filming will start soon!

However, you have to give an interview first - after all, it is the best director in Cannes.

There are many interview type programs that want to invite him, but he refuses, so he still sits in the company, drinking tea while blowing the air to be comfortable.

This time I interviewed him from "People".

is still the Zhang Han who exposed Master Wang.

The first question asked was a co-production, that is, "The Great Wall"...

"Actually, the project "The Great Wall" was proposed by them, and we will participate in it... We feel that the focus of our work at this stage is still on the domestic market. ”

"Co-productions are difficult to brilliant, and considering the Chinese audience and market, Sino-foreign co-productions often adopt a "layered model", in which the film is interspersed with shots of Chinese cultural elements, Chinese actors outside the main plot, and dragonflies in Chinese scenes and time and space, to achieve a connection between Chinese and Western contexts, but things backfire and often make people feel discordant. ”

"How can this problem be solved?"

"There is no need to solve it, a modern story, there is no requirement of historical background, and there is no cultural difference between China and the West, this type of story is filmed, the world will be welcomed, we felt that suitable for this genre is either an action movie, or a thriller, science fiction film! But I didn't like the Hollywood team, so I kicked them out of the project and I did it myself!"

"I heard that the original script was for foreigners to help Chinese fight monsters?"

"Yes, it's just a cliché popcorn movie, I read the script, and my first reaction was garbage, the characters are not formed, the plot is cliché, you just smash the special effects to have a hairy use!"

"And what do you expect from The Great Wall?"

Shen Mengxi replied: "To make a benchmark for a co-production film, it must have certain elements. ”

After a pause, he added: "Now the so-called co-production, invest a little money, and some don't even invest money, a completely American story with a little Chinese elements, and bring a Chinese actor, this is called a co-production? This is very scary." From two aspects, Chinese films have been squeezed to the margins, one is that a large amount of money has flowed away, and the other is that our market space has been squeezed out, and it is natural that it has occupied the longest time in the best schedule as a Chinese film. ”

"'The Hunt' won Best Director at Cannes, and I don't think you celebrated much?"

Shen Mengxi sighed: "Actually, I really don't care if I win the award or not, it's not pretending to be forced, I say it from the bottom of my heart!"

Zhang Han hurriedly asked, "How do you say it?"

“... In fact, what does it matter if many film festivals in the West, whether it is Berlin or Cannes, win awards or not? For movie fans, those who like to watch blockbusters can embrace Hollywood; those who like to watch art films, there are countless classics in film history, and "Hunting" does not have such a big impact! At most, it will add some talking points to fans who like me... It doesn't make much sense for Chinese films!"

"And, to be honest, the Cannes trip to "The Hunt" is only part of the award-winning process, and we are not making films for the sake of winning awards in Cannes! Only people who can't find a place in the commercial market will look for artistic themes, win an award, attract the attention of others, and make a film for the so-called film festival!"

"Gone are the days when you could make a name for yourself by winning an award abroad, and the mainstream film market is always where commerce is king..."

"You just mentioned the prize rush?"

“... What is the purpose of the awards? Or use the influence of the awards to sell the box office!"

"I'm a producer, and if I want to make a film for the local audience and a film that is suitable for going abroad, then I will definitely choose the former. Movies should serve local audiences, not make films to cater to foreign audiences. Otherwise, what's the point of winning so many awards and being scolded locally?"
