1368. Where is chivalry now?

It is a fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to produce hits in martial arts movies, and it is also the general trend.

Later, even if there were filming martial arts movies, it was also martial arts, rather than real martial arts movies.

For example, the "Detective Di Renjie" series cannot be regarded as a real martial arts movie, but more of it adds various fantasy colors.

In fact, the decline of martial arts movies also has a lot to do with the increasing maturity of film special effects technology.

The fighting in martial arts has long been replaced by more cool and colorful movie types such as fairy tale, fantasy, magic, fantasy and other movies.

Because those movies are more exaggerated and the pictures are cooler.

There is not much new in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Such a movie may be sold for hundreds of millions, but it is almost impossible to make a big hit.

"What does Director Wang think? Will this movie be our biggest competitor?" Dai Xinyue turned her head and asked.

Wang Yifan smiled and said, "To be honest, the director Wan Sheng Huanyu is going to train this time, Tang Tian is indeed quite capable and talented. The movie was made well, but..."

Dai Xinyue asked in surprise when she heard this, "But what?"

Wang Yifan said lightly: "But this is a martial arts movie! Looking back at the history of China's films, except for the early martial arts movies, which one is really a hit?"

Dai Xinyue thought about it carefully and it was really the case.

The earliest costume movies sold well are not without them, such as Yang Long's "Heroes Without Regrets"!

But that is not a martial arts movie at all, but a historical epic blockbuster. Although it is a bit "chivalrous" in it, it is not the core.

In addition, martial arts movies are selling well, and they really need to pursue the era of 100 million yuan in movies.

For today's day, such a movie is not enough to watch.

Because now the top movies in the Chinese film market have reached nearly 6 billion. But no matter whether it is a 1 billion, 2 billion to 5 billion, no one is a martial arts movie!

"This is really the case." Dai Xinyue looked stunned.

"In fact, it's not only domestic, but also foreign. Although martial arts is a domestic characteristic culture, in fact, there are also samurai movies in island countries and western cowboy movies in North America. These are actually all martial arts movies that are about to break the core, but now it can be said that they have basically declined." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"So, there is really no chance for martial arts movies?" Dai Xinyue asked with a frown.

Wang Yifan thought about it but frowned slightly, "Actually, that's not what it said. The market is changing. It's really not OK to adhere to old-school martial arts, but if there is something innovative, it may not be possible."

However, Wang Yifan thought of the former "Huang Feihong Series". To be honest, the Huang Feihong series can actually be regarded as a martial arts film, but it is just a modern martial arts.

But in this world, there seems to be no such person as Huang Feihong...

But this is no problem. Although there is no Huang Feihong, the era was similar.

So, when can we make the "Huang Feihong" series come out? Well, we can make the "Past Events of China" series come out.

Wang Yifan was a little distracted for a moment.

Even when the movie ended, he still sat in place without moving.

"Director Wang, Director Wang!" It was not until Dai Xinyue called out twice that Wang Yifan came to his senses.

"The movie is over!" Dai Xinyue whispered.

"Oh, I'm sorry for being a little distracted." Wang Yifan shook his head and laughed.

"What did Director Wang think just now?" Dai Xinyue asked curiously.

"I'm wondering if there is still hope for martial arts movies..." Wang Yifan said.

"What's the result?" Dai Xinyue asked more curiously.

"It's hard to say for the time being, but I have some ideas." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Oh? Then Director Wang, don't forget the light and shadow of our times at that time." Dai Xinyue said excitedly.

Wang Yifan nodded without comment.

At this time, the creator of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came on stage to thank him.

The reactions of the audience at the scene were quite enthusiastic.

After Tang Tian and other main creators came on stage to talk about some things about the creation of the film, the premiere was announced to end.

Afterwards, Tang Tian and Huang Donglai walked over again.

"Director Tang's "The Legend of the Body" was very good. I can see it and I tried my best to use my heart." Wang Yifan said sincerely and said in a realistic way that the movie "The Legend of the Body" was quite good, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time.

If such a movie was in the early years, it would be possible to have a chance to take a try, but by the same token, it would be difficult for such a movie to be made in China in the early years.

But Wang Yifan naturally would not tell them directly as he said to Dai Xinyue.

"Director Wang is too famous. In fact, many voices have been saying that Chinese martial arts movies are dead over the years. I just don't want to..." Tang Tian said with a wry smile.

This surprised Wang Yifan.

"No type is really dead. If so, it is because we have not followed the trend and introduced innovation!" What can Wang Yifan say?

"I would like to ask Director Wang to give me more advice, such as the movie "The Legend of the Body"." Tang Tian was not polite at all. Of course, he was not angry, but his attitude was very respectful.

"In terms of costumes and makeup, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is very good. The story is integrated into the court battles, which is also the highlight, but..." Wang Yifan said this and stopped.

"Just what?" Tang Tian asked sincerely.

"It's just a pity that as you said before, martial arts movies have indeed declined a little. This is the general trend. "The Legend of the Body" has never left the inherent martial arts pattern..."

"In fact, it's like many viewers who like to watch TV series in the early years, but why are there fewer such dramas now? It is because social security is getting better and better, and false cases are getting fewer and fewer. The reason why people like private visits is because at that time, there were still some situations where there was no way to make unjust and no way to seek justice. However, now that science and technology are developed, politics are harmonious, people have already had a wide range of channels to express their demands. Therefore, private visits are naturally difficult to penetrate the hearts of the people, and martial arts is the same."

"The theme of martial arts was a must-see for famous directors to move towards blockbusters ten years ago. However, with too much reliance on movie special effects, the quality of martial arts movies has become increasingly unsatisfactory. The number of martial arts movies has also decreased year by year, and the box office has become weaker. For movies, it is also cyclical. Perhaps martial arts movies have developed to a peak period. Without new creativity, they will start a transformation to become new martial arts and new special stunt movies." Wang Yifan couldn't help but say it.

Tang Tian smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he still asked humbly: "So what is the way out for martial arts movies?"

"The way out? As the most Chinese-style movie type, the prospects of martial arts films are still very great, and this chivalrous spirit can only breed on the fertile land of China. In fact, the concept of martial arts in China is very different from the warriors of the island country, the cowboys of the United States, etc. The biggest difference lies in the pattern. As for how to change the existing script, I have no idea at the moment. I just hope that the martial arts films in the future can focus more on the creation of the word "门", instead of just working on the gorgeous pictures, so that it will really become a sesame seed and a watermelon!"
