1367. The decline of martial arts films

In fact, there is no clear standard for a great director.

In the early years, if we were according to the current standards, there would be only a handful of great directors.

After all, the domestic film market was just a little bit in the early years, so it was naturally impossible for top movies to reach 1 billion or 2 billion.

Therefore, the standards of the early big directors actually looked at the influence of winning awards and the box office of top movies.

Later, I don’t know who decided it. At the beginning, I could get a box office of 1 billion, even if I stepped into the threshold of a big director.

When it is promoted, it is called a great director, which is from this time.

Most of the time, the media will follow this standard.

Later, with the continuous expansion of the domestic film market, the top movies also went from the initial 100 million yuan to the current box office of nearly 6 billion yuan!

But in fact, how many movies can reach this level?

Therefore, although the standards have been raised and the box office of 2 billion yuan is the threshold, it has not continued to increase in the future.

Because, even if it is 2 billion, how many movies can reach this number every year?

Wansheng Huanyu was the first to launch the horn of publicity.

Tang Tian, ​​the director of "The Legend of the Red Mansion", can indeed be said to be the first person in the new generation of Hong Kong films launched by Hong Kong filmmakers.

The premiere can't be too shabby.

The Beijing Wansheng International Film City is full of people, because this year, Wansheng Huanyu's historical martial arts blockbuster "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will premiere here.

Many movie fans arrived at the scene early. As far as Wang Yifan knew, Wan Sheng Huanyu spent a lot of money on this premiere, of course the scene was definitely unprecedented.

As the successor of Hong Kong Island movies, Tang Tian was at the critical moment when he got to power, a large number of filmmakers from Hong Kong Island came to support me.

This includes Cao Meng, who jumped to Ali Media and was filming the blockbuster "Agents of the Jedi".

There are also many Hong Kong stars, mainland stars, etc. that are familiar to many people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the stars are shining!

Wang Yifan didn’t bring Zhang Zirong this time, so there was no way. The young lady was erect and it was not convenient.

This time he came with Dai Xinyue of the light and shadow of the times.

It can be regarded as sending out signals to the outside world, and Times Light and Shadow and Huaxin have truly joined forces.

"Director Wang, Mr. Dai, thank you for your support!" Huang Donglai, the president of Wansheng Huanyu, came forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.

Huang Donglai was indeed quite happy.

After all, inviting Wang Yifan himself was an attempt to invite him, but he didn't expect that Wang Yifan really came.

Although Wansheng Huanyu and Huaxin are also competitors, they are at least not as fierce as Heli Media.

In fact, there are more projects that cooperate with each other than those that compete.

As the newly appointed president of Wan Sheng Huanyu, Huang Donglai is actually under great pressure.

Because Wansheng Group originally worked in real estate, Soha Entertainment Industry, after acquiring Huanyu Media, Wansheng Huanyu also digested it for a long time.

As Ali Media poached people everywhere, Wan Sheng Huanyu was also poached many people.

In the past two years, Wansheng Huanyu's performance has not been good either.

This year, the resources of the two companies have been almost integrated, and they have attracted filmmakers from the Hong Kong circle to launch Tang Tian, ​​the first new generation director of Hong Kong. Wan Sheng Huanyu naturally hopes to cultivate his own direct director.

This year's Spring Festival, the big directors are absent one after another, which is undoubtedly the best opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Therefore, for this year's Spring Festival and the current "Brother" can be said that Wan Sheng Huanyu attaches great importance to this year's Spring Festival.

"Director Wang..." Tang Tian also seemed a little excited when he saw Wang Yifan.

"Director Wang, I haven't lost any of your movies. You are an idol of many of our Hong Kong University classmates. I didn't expect to see Director Wang today, which is really an honor!" Tang Tian said as if he was a little fan.

"Hahaha! You are also very good. Being able to pay so much attention to Wan Sheng Huanyu means you will be able to go further soon!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Once upon a time he was also a junior, but now he has become a senior.

I can only say that there are talents in the generations of the country.

To be honest, Wang Yifan is not very optimistic about Tang Tian and his "Bronze Style".

Nothing else, but because of the market, martial arts films were really popular a few years ago, but gradually, martial arts films rarely produce any fine products. Even if they are fine products, such as the "Embroidered Spring Sword" series in the previous life, in fact, in the box office, they can only be said to be average.

However, Tsui Hark's Dragon Gate Flying Armor at the time, although his reputation was average, his box office was quite impressive.

But even so, there is no high box office.

Later, even fewer martial arts movies could get high box offices.

In fact, this world is similar. There are many martial arts movies every year, but there are not one who can really take on the responsibility of martial arts movies.

It is really a bit difficult to hit the threshold of a major director with martial arts movies!

But Wang Yifan would not say such words.

Of course, martial arts movies are not necessarily impossible. Maybe they can create miracles?

Soon, the premiere began.

To be honest, Wang Yifan thought the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was pretty good.

The costumes and props are done very well. Compared with the past Hong Kong filmmakers who made martial arts movies and martial arts dramas, it can be said that the progress is all-round.

Of course, it is also possible that the costume and props team of "The Legend of the King" is actually Wan Sheng Huanyu's senior team.

In terms of the plot, it was a bit beyond Wang Yifan's expectations.

The plot of "The Legend of the Body" is pretty good, but it's just OK.

Wang Yifan predicted that the box office of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would not be too high, but the reputation should not be too bad.

In fact, there is no reason for the decline of martial arts movies.

What is "hero"? Robbing the rich and helping the poor, punishing evil and eliminating evil, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a thousand miles away. However, with the development of the times and the sound system, the existence of "heroes" is no longer needed in society. In a legal society, "wanderers" are the most unstable factor in society. Heroes cannot meet people's needs, so naturally they will not produce excellent martial arts stories.

For example, Linghu Chong, who was in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" in his early years, did he have so many negative views?

But now, Linghu Chong can be said to be the protagonist, but he is disliked by the public. He can be called brothers with the traitor Tian Boguang. As the senior brother of the Huashan Sect, he has sex with the Demon Sect. It can be said that he is extremely unfilial!

On the contrary, Yue Buqun, a villain who was once hated, received a lot of sympathy.

This is the social change, and people's ideas have undergone great changes!

In fact, it is not only true in China, but also in the whole world. Except for Chinese martial arts films, island warrior films, and American western cowboy films, they are all in a state of decline, and the reasons are generally similar.

Most of the rest is just feelings!
