Let me first say that the current industrial structure of Chinese films is very similar to that of the United States in the 1970s!

What I said is of course based on:

The Paramount Act of 1948 directly led to large studios abandoning their monopoly in channels, and the American film industry entered another cycle.

Financial and insurance institutions have also begun to deeply intervene in Hollywood's production chain at this stage. Some independent production companies quickly accepted them, allowing insurance companies to control and supervise the production process, which has led to the development of the producer system in the direction of agency!

The segmentation, specialization and typification of American films were also developed at this stage.

Before the 1980s, the film industry in the United States mainly showed that it decided to make plans!

Talk about humanity and talent...

It's similar to the current Chinese film creation context...

Only after the capital resurgence will there be a more calm creative environment. When everyone becomes a master, the main reason why who can win at this time is not how right you are, but how stupid your opponent is!

Simply put, the reason why Chen Mengxi can continue to succeed is not only because of her vision leading the times, but also because her opponents keep making mistakes...

"1942" is of course a good movie with profound ideas and revealing human nature...

But after a comedy movie was released after it became a phenomenal trend, it was doomed to be a tragedy!

...

Chen Mengxi doesn’t like to get along with those in the Beijing circle. The main reason is that these people have too strong fatherly taste!

The sense of superiority is beyond words.

Maybe it is a specialty of old Beijing, deeply influenced by aristocratic culture, and always thinks that he is a big yard and looks down on people outside the yard...

From this perspective, Feng Xiaogang's life trajectory was, before "Mobile Phone 2", the typical Chinese entertainment male protagonist's character was not only his appearance.

Look, the male protagonist of Chinese entertainment must be of ordinary origin...

Only then can my fate be with me and my destiny be achieved by the loser’s counterattack!

In the meantime, there must be professional supporting roles who provide slap in the face, such as Wang Shuo and Ma Weidu.

The same is true for reality. Just look at the news leaks in those years. Wang Shuo always speaks with a high voice when he mentions Feng in front of others, as if he has not produced any works for many years, he can always give a first-class director a life mentor;

Ma even publicly talked about Feng's humble attitudes when he was young.

In addition to explaining the closure of this circle and Feng's situation back then, this incident is also one of the reasons why they despise outsiders. They look at people and are from their origins. Feng's father is not a high-ranking official, and he moved out of the courtyard with his mother at a very young age.

If you say Feng is despised by you because he is "can speak", "observe his words and expressions", "always be the last person", and "have the eyesight to see him", then there is nothing to say, because many people don't like this kind of person who is flattered;

But you look down on him just because he used to live in the compound and later moved out, or if his parents have a higher status than your parents. Are you a little fucked?

Living in the Qing Dynasty!

You're gone early in the morning!

If you clearly say that Feng Xiaogang is like this, in order to become famous and make money, the audience will shoot whatever they want, and they don’t look like an artist at all, so they despise him, then they respect your opinions, but you have worked with Ya a lot?

What, what if you write a book for Feng, you are voluntarily helping you?

Confiscated money?

From this perspective, Feng Xiaogang is really admirable!

Of course, "1942" has nothing to do with these people. The original work of this movie is Liu Zhenyun...

Feng Xiaogang is under great pressure when filming "1942"!

This movie is completely his personal choice.

He said afterwards that he was ready for the unfavorable box office...

In fact, when a director is preparing to film a subject that he is interested in, he is ready to lose money and private goods. This kind of thing is not in line with the public's joy.

Then, Huayi suffered a big loss this year!

"Tai Chi" lost more than 100 million yuan, but "1942" couldn't afford to lose. Not only could it not afford to lose, but it also took on the task of increasing Huayi's market value.

What should I do?

Go on the court with a tough bullet!

The backstage of the Beijing Convention and Exhibition Center will be the premiere of "1942". Feng Xiaogang is watching Weibo and Chen Mengxi's Weibo, explaining why he dares to say the 2 billion market quotation:

"The world's film market has certain commonalities. The movies that are most likely to be released in the market at present are special effects blockbusters and national comedy. Movies that pursue a certain depth of thought will be difficult to have a good box office."

"The reason why I say "One Scene to the End" + "Lost in Thailand" can get more than 2 billion is because both of these movies have national comedy attributes. If nothing unexpected happens, they will join forces to rule the entire New Year holiday."

"There is no intention of looking down on your opponent. I respect all movies, but the film market emphasizes winner-takes all, especially the Chinese film market."

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but sigh...

Stress is huge!

Especially when I clicked on the comments, someone asked Chen Mengxi, "What will happen to the box office of "1942"?"

Chen Mengxi replied: 'It probably won't be very good. The mainstream audience's value appeal for literature and film art is still "perfect". Many people just want to watch movies. In order to relax, they don't want to suffer for two hours in the cinema. However, director Feng Xiaogang has reached the age of willfulness. It's good to make a few movies that he thinks are valuable. Ah is the same. After Ah joined our company, he chose the films and the themes of the films he chose, but we still invest...'

OK, it coincides!

But no matter how stressed it is, you have to go.

The arrow is on the string, and I have to fire...

Press conference, reporter Q&A time:

"I think the audience needs different movies, and the movie needs to be rich, so that everyone can enjoy it after watching it, and some can be vented. However, the movie "1942" has its own movie experience, and I can't control the audience. I hope the audience will feel that it will gain something after watching this movie, and that it has not wasted the money for this movie ticket. I think it is the most important thing."

"I would like to ask what the box office is expected of this movie compared to "Tangshan Earthquake"?"

"I believe that no director has ever had any expectations for his own box office after finishing a movie. Why didn't I say this time? Because I'm afraid of underestimating the box office of this movie."

A young reporter asked: "Chen Mengxi produced "One Mirror to the End", invited Teacher Ge You to star in it, and released it in the same period as you. Do you think it is a threat?"

Huang Zhonglei replied: "It's not a threat or not. The Chinese film market is so big, and audiences are interested in different types of movies. Some viewers like deeper plots, and some viewers go to the cinema to be stupid. Our goal is the first category!"

"Then he said he took away two billion during the New Year's Eve...what do you want to say?"
Chapter completed!
