Chapter 79 I don't care whether I get an award or not
Chen Mengxi hates fan movies very much!
Originally, in the Chinese film market for a while, Guo Xiaosi could win 1.8 billion box office with four "Tiny Times" series, and director Deng Chao's two big-name films "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" could also win 1.2 billion box office!
Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Wu Yifan and even Yue Yunban can all have bad movies, and the box office of each of them exceeds 100 million yuan and can still make a profit!
It made everyone think that this is "silly people come here for more money". All monsters and monsters have transformed into directors, screenwriters, and producers.
This has also led to many young and handsome guys who sing and dance who have not learned how to act, and have entered the film industry to star in the lead role. Even with the vote-making and lock-up of fanatical fans, many shoddy films can achieve a very good box office, giving investors full returns.
The fans of the traffic stars will not care whether the film itself is good or bad. As long as their idol is the best starring ranking within three episodes, the box office can be used to compete and brag in the "fan circle"!
Moreover, in order to bring more and better movie resources to their idols, these fans are really willing to make great efforts to act as a water army that is not expensive online to recommend it everywhere, and at the same time try to pay to book and lock the venue, and use five to ten to 20 to sprint.
So no matter how bad the movie starring these traffic stars are, even if they are scolded by film critics and the audience, they will be guaranteed to have a box office of 100 million or 200 million.
Chen Mengxi was forced by this situation and could only write about garbage network...
Finally, I couldn't help but start squirting, and then became a famous conscientious public intellectual in the circle...
The kind with more than one million followers on Weibo!
However, if you are not in your position, you will not be able to do your job.
Is there any need for fan movies like "Tiny Times" to exist?
There are still some.
First of all, many creators, including Guo Jingming, said: Xiaoshi is a fan movie, and is made for people who like to watch Xiaoshi!
Then, a group of people rushed up and said that "Tiny Times" is not good, and their three views are not correct, and Barabala...
They didn't take photos for you!
Secondly, this series is really profitable!
Investment income reaches 1:10!
Finally, it should be in 2016 that the General Administration issued a regulation: personal privacy is not allowed to be hyped up, and it is advocated to show off wealth and enjoyment. Film and television works will no longer dare to blatantly wear diaw to show off their wealth!
Therefore, the "Tiny Times" series has become a hit...
"Thirty Only", showing off your wealth, the ladies took photos with Hermes bags...
This is also called showing off wealth?
The correct show of wealth should be: Fendi's fur, BOTTEGA VENETA dress, 48 million jade bracelets, and a cloakroom that can't get to the end...
Of course, Chen Mengxi is the kind of person who wants to set up a archway when he is a bitch, so even if he agrees to do "Tiny Times", he will not use Mengxi's name.
Just in time, Mingxi Company needs a series of stories to tell...
LeTV's Zhang Zhao can even rely on "Tiny Times" to achieve a market value of 8 billion. Why can't Mingxi do it?
Then let it go!
...
Chen Mengxi doesn’t care much about "Tiny Times". The big waves wash away the sand. No matter how awesome it is, as time goes by, the market will always mature one day.
The content industry is essentially the film!
It cannot be overturned by Internet+ customers.
He is very busy now, and "The Great Wall" has entered the final stage of preparation and is about to start filming!
However, I have to accept an exclusive interview first - after all, the best director of Cannes.
There are many interview programs that want to invite him, but he refused. He still sat in the company, drinking tea and making it feel more comfortable.
This time I came to interview him is "People".
It was still the same Zhang Han who exposed Master Wang.
The first question is the co-production film, which is "The Great Wall"...
"Actually, they proposed the project "Great Wall". Let's participate... We think the focus of our work at this stage is still on the domestic market."
"It is difficult to be good for co-productions. Considering the audience and market of China, Chinese and foreign co-productions often adopt the "layer mode". In the film, the scenes of Chinese actors outside the main plot, as well as Chinese scenes, and the time and space, the connection between different contexts of China and the West is achieved, but things go against our wishes and often make people feel inconsistent."
"How to solve this problem?"
"No need to solve it. A modern story has no historical background requirements and no cultural differences between Chinese and Western countries. If this type of story is well shot, it will be popular all over the world. At that time, we thought that the one that suits this type was either action movies or thriller or science fiction! So, I decided on "The Great Wall"... But I didn't like the Hollywood team, so I drove them out of the project and did it myself!"
"I heard that the original script was about foreigners helping Chinese people fight monsters?"
"Yes, it's just a cliché popcorn movie. After reading the script, my first reaction was that it was garbage, the characters were not formed, and the plot was cliché. You can just smash the special effects and have a bad use!"
"What do you expect from the Great Wall?"
Shen Mengxi replied: "To make a benchmark for a co-production film, it is necessary to have certain elements."
After a pause, he added: "The so-called co-production films nowadays, investing a little money, and some even don't even investing money. A complete American story with some Chinese elements and bringing a Chinese actor is called a co-production film? This is very terrible. It squeezes Chinese movies to the edge from two aspects. One is that a large amount of funds flows away, and the other is that our market space is squeezed. It is of course the longest time in the best schedule as a Chinese movie."
"The Hunting won the best director of Cannes, I think you didn't seem to celebrate it much?"
Shen Mengxi sighed: "Actually, I really don't care whether I win the award or not. I'm not pretending, I'm just talking from the bottom of my heart!"
Zhang Han asked quickly: "What do you mean?"
"...Actually, there are many Western film festivals, whether it is Berlin or Cannes, what's the point of winning or not? For movie fans, those who like to watch blockbusters can embrace Hollywood; those who like to watch art films have countless classics in film history, "Hunting" has not had that much influence! At most, it will add some topic of conversation to fans who like me... It doesn't make much sense for Chinese movies!"
"And, to be honest, the Cannes tour of "Hunting" is just a part of the award-winning process. We did not make movies to win awards in Cannes! Only those who cannot find a place in the commercial market will look for artistic subjects, win an award, and attract others' attention. The so-called filming for the film festival!"
"The era when you win an award abroad can become famous is over. The mainstream film market is always the king of business..."
"You just mentioned the prize-winning stage?"
"…What is the purpose of winning the award? Or use the influence of the award to sell the box office!"
