Chapter 163 I just want to prove that I understand movies

A simple opening, Lu Yu knew that Chen Mengxi knew how to make programs!

So, she relaxed...

When doing a show, what I fear most is the kind of person who refuses to say anything!

"I heard that when you were in college, you gave me some contributions to "Movie World" and "Watch Movies"?"

"Yes, at that time, I was very enthusiastic and generous, and I felt that movies all over the world were just like this, and I dared to criticize anyone!"

"I've read a manuscript you wrote about "The Promise". You demoted the whole story to nothing..."

"The so-called magical epic is not really separated from life, it is just higher than life. The fatal point of "The Promise" lies in the construction of the world view, which has not reached perfection and beauty. It is so vast that the director is very smart and wants to build a magical world, but he has too many ideas, and he finally only builds a magical body?"

"Wow, do you remember what you wrote?"

"…Of course, this is what I wrote down one stroke at a time!"

"Then why don't you write a film review after graduation?"

Chen Mengxi touched his nose with emotion: "After all, you have entered the industry, and the people you criticize are likely to be your partner... forget it. Moreover, after entering the industry, you have a lot of knowledge about the current situation of domestic movies, and you will often be more tolerant..."

"tolerant?"

"From the overall perspective, the marketization of movies has progressed, and many excellent movies stand out, and the audience is not bound to blockbusters. For example, "The Beauty of Jiangshan" in the first half of the year, the box office was hugely lost..."

"So, you're making movies?"

"right!"

A simple opening, Chen Mengxi asked questions and answers, and the recording went smoothly.

In the middle part, about "Ip Man"...

"I heard that you want to invest in "Ip Man" is not a whim?"

"Last year I stayed in the United States for a few months. In addition to producing "Uninvited", I wrote a book called "Mobile Maze". Most of the time I spent researching how non-English films entered the American market... Then I met a martial arts school in Chinatown. He was a Wing Chun. I talked to him for a few days and learned a lot of things. It was the first time I learned that Ip Man was a man who devoted himself to promoting Wing Chun throughout his life and accepted countless disciples, including Bruce Lee!"

"Then I asked him if I made a movie about Ip Man, would he buy tickets to watch it, and he nodded surely..."

Chen Mengxi finally added: "I just think there is a market for this!"

"Then have you checked the information?"

"I checked a little, but it was basically useless in the movie. Eighty percent of it is fiction..."

Chen Mengxi's expression was a little awkward. When Lu Yu received the signal, he quickly changed the subject and asked Wang Jiawei about it...

Why is it embarrassing?

Because if the character Ip Man is qualitative according to the components, he is a standard counter-revolutionary!

Otherwise, I would not have left my wife and children to Hong Kong in 1949...

This kind of thing cannot be thought about, and the movie also turned the time when I left Foshan into 1938...

...

"There are 1,000 Hamlets for a thousand readers. Similarly, Ip Man and Wing Chun, everyone can shoot this subject. You can't shoot it just because you want to shoot it, and you can't just say that others are plagiarizing it. I won't accept such slander!"

"He slandered me like this, and there were actually a lot of people on the Internet who supported him and said he wanted to ban me..."

"Of course, now that "Ip Man" is released, its reputation and box office are good, which also proves that our "Ip Man" has nothing to do with Mr. Wang Jiawei, but there is one thing that I am always worried about!"

"What's up?"

"They actually said publicly that I don't understand movies, so I want to say this!"

"What we most admire is the Hollywood industrialized production model. Under this model, movies are sold as products. The genre films promoted by Hollywood are one of the means. It allows the audience to have an area of ​​expectation for movies in advance, which is conducive to the release of movies to a certain extent. Mr. Wang Jiawei's movies are completely incompatible with this model. If the entire film market is full of Wang Jiawei, investors would have left this market long ago."

"Of course, you may not care about what I say now, because I am not a director, I am just a representative of the producer. I will make a movie in the second half of the year. At that time, everyone will tell who is better and worse!"

Lu Yu finally had the opportunity to speak: "You want to be a director?"

"Yes..." Seeing Lu Yu seemed a little unbelievable, Chen Mengxi didn't care: "What's the difficulty for the director? After the script was written, we found the right actor, the right photographer, and the director was responsible for shouting "Ka" and "A!"..."

Chen Mengxi was very restrained. He originally wanted to say, "Tie a dog, hang a director's brand...", and swallowed it back...

It's so offensive!

Lu Yu shook his head: "What you said is too simple... Can you reveal the general situation of your movie?"

"The project is underway and is now in contact with Leonardo..."

"Leonardo? Are you talking about Leonardo DiCaprio?"

"Yes, he is quite satisfied with the script. Now he is negotiating the price!"

Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder, "Is it true? You're not kidding?"

Chen Mengxi asked in surprise: "What's the joke about this? My script is well written. The producer is 20th Century Fox. Leonardo likes this story..."

“…”

"Actually, this story is called "Manchester by the Sea", a very sad story. I didn't plan to be the director myself, but I was said to be 'I don't understand movies', I just wanted to prove that I still understand movies!"

"And my movies will never play that messy mood, will not expose your flesh, and will not attract audiences with color-slanted things!"

...

There is only one episode of this episode, and Chen Mengxi recorded it for more than two hours.

The audience was very satisfied with what he said, which was very satisfying, which was very different from the previous "Lu Yu You Appointment" - Chen Mengxi didn't hide his true thoughts!

Lu Yu also liked him very much, and agreed to go back to the promotion of "Painted Skin" again...

After finishing the recording, Chen Mengxi drove away from Daxing and prepared to return to the company.

Suddenly I received a call from Chen Liming.

The fat man asked him to go to the swimming pool...

"I'll be there in a while!"

Anyway, nothing is wrong.

In fact, during this period, newspapers, the Internet, and TV have been covering the Olympics, while public officials have said "extravagant and wasteful" online, which is a satirizing political axe for their face.

Netizens followed up with various discussions...

There is little discussion about movies...

After all, movies are not a necessity for life.

For the public, is there no cultural entertainment without watching movies?

There are too many alternatives, and the way to enjoy the body and mind is gone - fighting with people online for an hour and a half, and then winning. This feeling is definitely not comparable to watching a movie!

Yesterday, the box office of "Ip Man" was 19 million...

It is estimated that it will only reach around 55 million on the first weekend.
Chapter completed!
