Chapter 7 Grab a role? (5/5)

Chen Mengxi rarely waves flags and shouts for a movie. Last year, the only one who enjoyed this treatment was "The Little Fox and the Monster Hunter"...

That was the first derivative movie of the Painted Skin Cinema Universe, and the treatment must be different!

In fact, he originally planned to brag about "Walking with God" this year, and forget about "The Sad One"...

After all, if you scan too many faces, it will be worthless!

However, there is also a remark online - bragging about "Sedekebale" and then despises other domestic movies...

Damn it's about to say this!

Oh, "Sedekebale" has also been released, and it will be released on April 1, with 8% of the films on the first day, and the box office is not 800,000...

A bunch of people called it accused it, including 'Young Leader Han Han'...

The interviewer was Alang, the editor-in-chief of "Watching Movies" magazine.

Mengxi now insists on subscribing to magazines such as "Three Links", "People", "Southern Weekend", "Watching Movies", "Movie Art", "Contemporary Movies", "World Movies", and "Journal of Beijing Film Academy"...

As for magazines like "Youth Movie Manual", "Global Screen", and "Popular Movie" no longer subscribe!

Many magazines have basically been included in the category of viewing or not viewing, and "Watching Movies" also belongs to this category...

The reason is very simple: there are too many contact areas for movie information, and it is no longer as scarce as before!

"Watching Movies" stood out in the past because the amount of information was extremely large and complex. Every magazine was densely packed with countless information.

Now is the era of rapid reading, and the method of large and full magazines is gradually declining...

Alang was also very depressed. He felt that movies in today's era have become stupid and degenerate. He learned to detour and directly reach the senses such as vision and hearing. The movement in the mind has become less and less. Watching movies has changed from mental labor to physical labor, and flattening has become inevitable.

Chen Mengxi and Alang have known each other for a long time. When he was in school, he wrote a manuscript for "Watching Movies"...

As soon as they met, he complained to Chen Mengxi, who waved his hand: "In human history, people like you have appeared in different eras. In the field of film, people like you will be defined as the conscience of an era."

"Criticism is simple, but it is only responsible for criticism and has no constructive opinions. It is very problematic!"

“But criticism is also useful!”

"The Internet era has arrived. In this era where freedom is allowed, everyone has the possibility of speaking out."

"The reason why you feel depressed and painful is because you can't stand it. Qian Zhongshu has a very good saying: People often mistakenly think that their desire to change the world is the ability to change the world."

"Also, when I was writing articles, I discovered that many film critics would pursue the meaning of a movie... The movie was not an art at all, but a technology, a rich experience and fun."

"Forgeting the worldly pain in popcorn movies is something that movies can do, and finding the philosophical avenue in art movies is something that movies can do. The times are indeed fast-food, but countless film workers are still trying to make everything better, but what they are thinking is not to introduce meaning from scripts and films like you, but to write a story in a real way.

When the waves wash away the sand, we will finally wait until the day when gold reveals its corners from the sand. You who pursue literary and artistic philosophy are waves. Ordinary audiences who only want to be amused by vulgar comedy for 90 minutes are also waves. Movies are just a genre and a way of expression. Don’t put it on the altar. Why is movies simple? For audiences, movies themselves are useless, reading books and playing games are useless, and entertainment is just for entertainment! In addition to sometimes chatting, they will also make themselves unique!”

"If you are willing to watch more, there are still many in-depth movies in the film festivals around the world every year!"

After tying for a while, I started chatting...

...

There is nothing to say in the interview, it’s all just a car talk. Why do you make science fiction movies?

To make money, or to develop new types...

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said really, Chen Mengxi said it very well: "If we want to take the heavy industrial film route, we must make science fiction films!"

"We have to create movies made by Hollywood's standard industrial industry, otherwise, how can we compete with Hollywood?"

"Science fiction films have high requirements for the film industry. So far, few of them have done well except Hollywood. "The Sad" and "The Praise of Life" are considered soft science fiction. After that, we will film "The Wandering Earth" and "The Tides Like a Gun". Being able to film such hard-core science fiction films is a proof that the film industry has taken a step forward."

Talk about "Sedekbarel"...

"I know this movie... I usually have no good feelings for those who focus on hard work during publicity! I have never liked people who pursue their own meaning and dreams, who should spend their own money and other people's money, but profess to pursue their own art!"

Alang frowned: "Have you seen it?"

"A brief look at it, it's not the type I like!"

After pausing, Chen Mengxi said something: "Last year, "Seedek Barre" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. Wei Desheng was dissatisfied because the film was marked as "Taiwan, China". He felt that he was eaten tofu and that he was trampled on the national character... Do you know this?"

Alang was stunned for a moment...

Chen Mengxi said meaningfully: "Many things cannot be viewed simply..."

...

I saw Alang away, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. After watching the reputation of "The Sad", my Douban score dropped to 8.1 points...

That's OK, it means that the audience recognizes this movie!

The box office is 19 million, and it should be over 20 million at the end of today...

After all, the Qingming Festival is not a big period, and it depends on the subsequent trend.

Fortunately, "Titanic" will be released next Tuesday, and on the first weekend, "The Sad" has no rivals.

When I went to Weibo, the marketing account has started to set the rhythm - of course it is a good rhythm, and it costs money!

It depends on tomorrow's market feedback.

Shaking his head, he was about to go home, and he had to buy some new dog food for the Big Golden Retriever - after being shaved, he was depressed and treated it better.

Just after leaving the door, my phone rang. It was Li Yiping...

"Hello…"

"What's the matter?"

"The casting of "Journey to the West"... Isn't Nini the heroine?"

"Male...Male protagonist...heral?"

"…What's the use of this kind of thing to me? And hasn't "Journey to the West" been filmed?"

"Okay, I'll go to Hengdian tomorrow..."

Chen Mengxi was a little speechless after hanging up the phone. For a role, he actually wanted him to take action?

Li Yiping wanted Yin Zheng to star in "Journey to the West", but Zhou Xingchi chose heraldry. Why did she choose heraldry? Maybe because of his good manly character - the audience directly substituted...

Zhou Xingchi has been silent for four years, and "Journey to the West" is highly anticipated. This resource is called A-level resources.

In fact, Chen Mengxi doesn’t care. Zhou Xingchi’s movies are the only one that sells the big shot. Whether the director or the starring actor or the actor performs his play, don’t think about becoming a cafe…

"The Mermaid" sold for more than 3 billion yuan. Does anyone think it was Deng Chao's credit?
