Chapter 363 The Big Picture (2/5)

"Avatar" is of course great, Chen Mengxi likes it very much, but in essence, "Avatar" is just a popcorn commercial film...

It is normal for Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li

I guess Martin Scorsese doesn't like it either...

But he is not easy to argue with Cameron because Cameron is also a great master.

‘Marvel movies are theme parks’, fortunately you have a good relationship with George Lucas, otherwise, someone will definitely beat you to death!

Isn't Star Wars a theme park?

The Marvel Tree is just a big hit, and taking a step on Marvel movies is also a mainstream trend in Hollywood!

In those years, commercial fast food films represented by Marvel had to squeeze out the living space of independent films to a certain extent, and flowed towards literary and artistic. The resources for independent films were getting fewer and fewer. Martin Scorsese had to go to Netflix to shoot "The Irishman" himself. The less well-known director, the life of a young director can be imagined...

So, many people criticize Marvel...

Of course, Chen Mengxi disagrees with this view - he likes both coffee and garlic!

And it is this fast food movie that has brought the theater industry to new vitality...

So, the reporter asked Leonardo why he didn't like "Avatar", and Chen Mengxi smiled: "I have talked to two people about this issue. Filmmakers all over the world face such a choice. Some choose the public, while others put art first!"

"But there is no distinction between the two. You have your poems and the distance, and I have my food, rice, oil and salt..."

"In terms of market demand, audiences need popcorn movies more. Watching movies is a way for everyone to entertain and relax. In this case, audiences are of course more willing to watch some movies that make them relax. Art films have their own meanings, and there will also be people who appreciate art films. However, art films are difficult to become a popular hobby. Therefore, the global box office of "Manchester by the Sea" is only one-nineth of "Avatar"!"

"Okay, that's all for today... Don't forget to support "Inception". China Film has confirmed the introduction and should be released in late August!"

...

Regarding this promotional event, Li Yiping was very angry. Because of such a good opportunity, Chen Mengxi did not let his celebrities shine their faces...

She had thought about the title, "Little Li came to China to promote "Manchester by the Sea", and all the stars under Mengxi appeared to support it'...

At least it can take up some light...

Take a photo or something...

Zhao Jinsong was also a little dissatisfied. Such a good opportunity, he did not invite relevant leaders of the Film Bureau.

Even if you invite some allies to participate!

Chen Mengxi is quite speechless. This is a normal movie promotion. What's the use of making so many fancy ones?

At the meeting of Marvel's ten-year creators, a group of singers came to sing...

It is called: Marvel is a niche culture and needs singers to attract traffic...

Well, it’s indeed a niche. Singers can give kickbacks, and Marvel stars can give a kickback?

So, welcome to our famous local artists!

Faced with their doubts, Chen Mengxi was too lazy to answer...

Just said one sentence, "No need!"

Wait for a few more years, a bunch of Hollywood stars come to China to promote. After comparing, you will know how professional this event is!

No matter what, Little Lizi came to China to promote her for a day, and major media reported in detail...

But he is not the Little Lizi who fought repeatedly, so he has very few votes of sympathy.

"Manchester by the Sea" box office of 8 million on the first day, which is quite reasonable...

After all, this is just a narrative Hollywood movie, not a big special effects blockbuster...

The most important thing is that this movie has been available in a high-definition version on the Internet...

Plus March 10th is Wednesday, weekdays.

So, Mengxi Company was quite surprised at the first week of 32 million.

It's so high!

There are many good reviews online, with Douban scores as high as 8.8.

"A very heart-wrenching story, but the director used fine and exquisite narratives and flashbacks to make the whole movie very restrained. The seemingly unreasonable primary and secondary arrangement just reflects the most realistic life scene of this man."

"I think Manchester by the Sea is not inferior to Carmen Mong Kok!"

"There are always people who are unwilling to make peace with their past life. Even if they are muddy and have a bond, life still has to continue its direction!"

The second high review is very interesting, Chen Mengxi gave a thumbs up...

...

Film Bureau, Chen Mengxi came over to fight...

The word "trick" is inappropriate, so it should be said to come over to negotiate!

"Walking with God" failed to pass the first application...

The story of "Walking with God" is quite simple: The fantasy story of the hero who received seven levels of judgment with the messenger of the underworld for 49 days after his death.

Death, underworld, judgment...

Strolling on the horse is a sensitive word!

"Leader, this movie is indeed very suitable for making large special effects. We have drawn more than 2,000 concept sketches for the design of the underworld alone..."

"If this drama is done, not to mention whether it can make money, at least more than 5,000 special effects staff have been trained. This is the beginning of our film industrialization!"

Tong Gangye is the director of the Film Bureau. He shook his head: "Why not make a science fiction film like "Avatar"?"

Chen Mengxi said it bluntly: "In terms of film aesthetics, we have never experienced the industrial revolution. It is difficult for Chinese people to have emotional connections with technology and industry. They directly shoot robots that ravage the earth. No one can watch it! Not to mention anything else, the steel suit of "Iron Man" is opened as a Chinese, and you feel awkward!"

"The difficulty in making Chinese science fiction films is actually how to find the cultural and spiritual core at the beginning. Why do we make "Painted Skin" an Eastern magic? It is because this theme does not belong to any existing film theme! "Walking with God" is really something that conforms to the aesthetics of the East Asian nation!"

Tong Gang hesitated for a moment: "But you involve the underworld, reincarnation, and messenger of the underworld..."

"Can't you just open the Internet? Other countries can shoot, but we can't shoot? If it really doesn't work, I will write it first and then adapt it?"

Tong Gang: "…How much are you going to invest?"

"To make the effect we want, it will take at least 300 million..."

"Three hundred million? You guys will make all of them yourself?"

"Yes, we raise funds ourselves and do it ourselves! And this is a trilogy story, and it will take at least 1 billion to complete it!"

“…Then can you recover the cost?”

"You don't have to worry about this. The market is developing rapidly. I always feel that next year or the year after, our total box office will rise to 20 billion. By then, at least 1.5 billion of the top works will start!"

"You mean you can surpass Avatar?"

Chen Mengxi immediately came to his senses: "This movie was made for two and a half years. I promise that it will be released before 2013 and will definitely surpass the box office of "Avatar"!"

Tong Gang hesitated for a moment: "Can't be released next year?"

"…The special effects can't keep up. The shooting is very simple. It can be finished in six months at most, but..."

"The 2012 summer season is left to you...two years!" Tong Gang sighed: "I don't hide it from you. Hollywood has recently urged us to expand the number of imported movies and increase the share ratio. This matter must be resolved, at most at the end of next year..."

"...Then I will work hard to make this project ready for the 2012 summer season!"

"Well," Tong Gang nodded, Chen Mengxi was about to say goodbye, but he suddenly remembered something: "Mengxi!"

"What's wrong, Director Tong?"

"…A comrade said you don't have a big picture!"

Chen Mengxi was anxious: "What? I don't have a big picture? I speak Chinese on the Oscar podium!"

It’s almost like placing a signboard on the “I am from the Republic of China”!

Is this called not having a big picture view?

“…Will unite your comrades!”

“??”

Tong Gang had no choice but to: "You go to the Golden Horse Awards next month!"

"Why am I going there? I even...oh, I understand!"
