842. How Chinese Movies Go Out
"Mr. Lin, congratulations!"
"Director Wang, congratulations, congratulations!"
Everyone was envious, jealous and hated Lin Husheng, but they felt differently about Wang Yifan.
Especially for the directors, their view of Wang Yifan has changed a lot.
Earlier, they were dissatisfied with Wang Yifan and felt that Wang Yifan was nothing great.
But after that Hongmen Banquet, everything was different.
The scripts and stories that Wang Yifan took out conquered them.
As directors, they naturally know that a movie is not a good script. If the story is good, it will definitely be good. However, a good story and a good script are always the basis of a movie.
In fact, it is not that no one wants to ask Wang Yifan for the script, but they can't find a way at all, and even Wang Yifan can't see him.
The script of "Dark War" that Cao Meng obtained made many directors in Hong Kong couldn't help but be jealous.
If "Dark War" is a mainland-style movie, it would be fine, but the key is that the rich Hong Kong style of "Dark War" is the one that makes them most jealous.
Many Hong Kong directors have come from the golden age of Hong Kong films and have a deep attachment to Hong Kong films.
The key is that if you can make a Hong Kong-style movie and still sell it well, then it can be said that its influence in Hong Kong will immediately reach its peak.
This is what they are most jealous of.
After all, in the Chinese film market, mainland directors are rising one after another, actors have replaced the actors of Hong Kong Island Treasure Island, and the outside world is also exaggerating the death of Hong Kong Island movies. At this time, if "Dark War" can make a big splash, Cao Meng will immediately become the most popular in the Hong Kong Island movie circle.
Regional influences have always existed.
Whether it is some provinces in the mainland or Hong Kong Island, although everyone is Chinese, there are still regional differences.
The so-called "raised to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail"? They dare not think about it in the mainland? After all, Wang Yifan almost has dominant power? The situation of one super and many strong people is gradually stabilized.
And that Hongmen Banquet? In fact, it is called the label of the top Chinese director in the media.
Needless to say, Wang Yifan is the most unique one.
He is the number one film director in China. This title is? No one will deny it now.
Then there is the director who attended the meeting that night? The director who got Wang Yifan's script, plus Ma Qingshan, Yang Long, Xu Cang and Li Mingjuan are known as the top ten directors in China.
Although it is not an award ceremony? But it is better than an award ceremony.
Wang Yifan? Lin Tao, Zhou Zhan, He Jun, Chen Hang, Wu Han? Cao Meng, Li Mingjuan? Xu Cang, Yang Long? Ma Qingshan and others are called by the media the real big directors of Chinese film directors.
It's like selecting the four major actresses or something.
But no one questioned this selection.
Although there are some powerful directors outside the world? But compared with these people, it is still a little worse.
"Director Wang, it's a pity that "The Monkey King" still cannot conquer Europe and the United States." Yang Long sighed.
In fact, these Chinese directors, especially veteran directors such as Yang Long, have one of the biggest goals, that is, one day, the movies made by Chinese people can be like Hollywood movies and kill all over the world.
Although Wang Yifan's "The Monkey King" can be regarded as a big killer, it can be said that this goal has been achieved in Asia.
However, it has failed in Europe and the United States. Although it is understandable and expected, it still makes people feel a little sad.
In fact, Wang Yifan's "Edge of Tomorrow" earlier can actually be regarded as a big hit and has also won a good box office in Europe and the United States.
But after all, the total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is still not in a hurry for "The Monkey King".
"Yes, although Hong Kong movies were the golden age, in fact, they were still a little worse in Asia, Europe and the United States." Cao Meng also sighed.
Although many people praise Hong Kong Island’s movies in the Golden Age, only those who came from that era know that they are called Oriental Hollywood, even though they are not watching Hong Kong Island movies in those days.
But in fact, the name of Oriental Hollywood itself has explained it all.
No matter how powerful it is, it is limited to the "East"!
And it's just using Hollywood as a template benchmark, and it's far from being a big shot.
When Hong Kong movies were the best, it was difficult to get benefits in Europe and the United States.
As a result, Hong Kong filmmakers did not have a clear self-knowledge when the Chinese film market began to rise, which led to the current situation of disagreement.
"It's not easy to talk about it. "The Monkey King" is a derivative work of "Journey to the West", but "Journey to the West" has no public foundation in Europe and the United States. Many people don't know what this story is about, not to mention that it involves the myth system of China, even Greek myths, Roman myths, etc., which cannot be recognized in North America, let alone us." Ma Qingshan sighed repeatedly.
When it comes to the level of Wang Yifan and others, it is natural to discuss this topic.
After all, Wang Yifan has already hit the ceiling in China and even in Asia. No matter how good the results he has achieved in Asia, he is still just Asia.
If he wants to go further, he must make a movie that can truly sweep the global market.
But how easy is this?
Lin Tao smiled wryly and said, "It's okay for you guys. I'm a comedy shooter. I guess I won't be able to see any good results comedy overseas in my lifetime."
"Isn't this the one with Director Wang? Director Wang, do you have any ideas for the next movie?" Chen Hang asked with a smile.
If it were in the past, Chen Hang would not be so polite to Wang Yifan. He is also a person who is above the top.
"What suggestions do you have?" Wang Yifan actually had a headache.
In fact, there are movies in his mind that he could kill all the worlds in his previous life, and he is confident that he can make them with his current strength, but those movies are almost all based on the Western world.
Even if you can make it through, it is hard to say whether you can still achieve success in your previous life after making it through.
"What do you think of science fiction movies?" Chen Hang is an old science fiction. It can be said that he is the first person to challenge the world movie landscape, but unfortunately he is not capable of it.
But he can't do it, but he doesn't think it's science fiction.
"In my opinion, science fiction movies are the type that is easiest to break cultural barriers," Chen Hang said.
"Yes, science fiction movies are indeed the easiest movies to break cultural barriers, but the problem is that science fiction movies have too high requirements for brains and creativity. If they are too in-depth, then the films made are not commercial movies. If they are too shallow, how can the films made be recognized by the whole world? Difficult, difficult, difficult!" He Jun shook his head repeatedly.
"I think the action movies of gunfight movies will be more promising. We can completely put the big scene abroad." He Jun is a gunfight movie, and the old experts in police and gangster films naturally have more research on this aspect.
