Huayu since 1980

Chapter 100 I like it, the audience likes it

"Actually, there's a question I haven't figured out all along. What's the difference between the art film you're talking about and the commercial blockbuster?" Ge You asked curiously.

At this time, Wu Jianye realized that there are no so-called commercial blockbusters in China now. If we want to say that domestic commercial films have taken shape, it is probably the "Mysterious Buddha" filmed by Yan Film Studio this year, and "Peacock" starring Wu Jianye at the same time. "Princess" can actually be counted in this category.

"From my own understanding, the art film itself has its own critical or experimental nature. He uses the perspective of film creators to let the audience see their expression of the world, society, life and other things. It is an experimental attempt on film art, and in this respect, European films are relatively developed, such as the current three major European film festivals, which award the best art films in the world every year."

"As for commercial blockbusters, the best ones are American Hollywood films. Of course, the current Hong Kong films are also in this category. Commercial films are more for ordinary movie audiences. They don't need this film. No matter how profound the educational significance or connotation is, the most important thing is to buy tickets that are worthy of the audience’s money.”

At this time, none of the crowd noticed that they thought they were the ones who knew the most about movies in this wave of young people in China, but at this moment, everyone was like elementary school students, sitting here and listening to Wu Jianye talking about the various situations of movies .

"Then how do we count these domestic movies?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked.

"Didn't you say it just now? Domestic movies have just started. Although many movies that you see now, every time they are shown, the audience will rush to watch it. It's just because people don't have more entertainment. The popularization of mobile phones will definitely divert some movie audiences, or even a large part of the audience, and then you will still have Xiangjiang movies, the impact of Hollywood movies, and domestic movies still have a long way to go.”

"Why do I feel that there is a lot of pessimism in your words?" Chen Kaige heard the meaning in Wu Jianye's words.

"This is not pessimism, it is reality. The development of any new thing must go through such a process. Now we have many restrictions on watching domestic movies, but that is caused by the current social background. For our country The film industry is a barren land, and a barren land means barbaric growth. When the pace of the film is enlarged in the future, there will be many crudely produced films. At that time, it will definitely have a major impact on the domestic film industry. Yes, plus the problems I mentioned before, domestic movies are destined to take some detours!"

This is not Wu Jianye's alarmist talk, nor is Wu Jianye referring to the current situation decades later. In fact, in the mid-to-late 80s, a batch of shoddy and eye-catching movies appeared in the domestic film industry. .

The situation is no less than that of Xiangjiang films in the late 90s and domestic films in the new century.

At that time, film studios were no longer satisfied with selling copies to earn profits from films, but they had no way to change the country's regulations. They could only produce a large number of low-cost films. The producers lost their enthusiasm for films, and what they wanted was Finish the work as fast as possible, sell copies to make money, and the country's system in the film industry is not perfect.

"Fist plus pillow", "Wen goes to bed, Wu goes to room" refers to the Chinese movies of that period. Although the directors or creators of those movies also had their own ideas, it is undeniable that they played too hard.

The scale is so large that some young people in later generations dare not imagine.
It is precisely because of this series of situations that the development of domestic films stagnated in the 90s, although some film practitioners contributed some high-quality films, such as Zhang Yimou's "To Live", "Red Sorghum", Chen Kaige "Yellow Earth" and "Farewell My Concubine".

But none of this can make up for the shortcomings of domestic commercial films.

"In a word, Huaxia's films have a long way to go, and everyone has a heavy responsibility in the future!" Wu Jianye raised his wine glass.

Everyone was a little stunned by Wu Jianye's remarks. Now everyone can say that they are passionate about movies and want to display their ambitions, but Wu Jianye's current remarks are like a dead end to them.

"You don't have to bear any burdens. I believe that no matter how many detours you take, the development of the matter will definitely lead to a correct path in the end!" Wu Jianye put down his wine glass and laughed when he saw that everyone was a little silent.

"What about you, Wu, what do you think? Now that you have acted in movies and tried to work as a director, what kind of movies do you want to make in the future?" Chen Peisi asked.

Regarding Wu Jianye's performance in the crew, after Chen Fu came back, he regarded Wu Jianye as a child of someone else's family and educated Chen Peisi. Jian Ye's understanding is not shallow.

At this time, everyone was also looking at Wu Jianye directly. Before they knew it, Wu Jianye had become the center of everyone.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll be shy!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Fuck!" Immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the crowd.

"Everyone should be civilized, there are lesbians here!" Wu Jianye pointed to several women present and said.

"Old Wu, tell me what you think, don't worry about us!" A girl laughed.

"Okay, since everyone asked, I'll talk about my own thoughts." Wu Jianye looked at everyone leisurely, and seeing that everyone seemed to be about to do something, he said quickly: "Actually, in my opinion, no matter what It doesn’t matter whether it’s a commercial film or an art film. In the final analysis, they are all made for audiences, but the audiences of the two kinds of films are different. I hope that I can make my own favorite movies in the future, and this movie can make people feel happy. More audiences like it, whether they are art film lovers or commercial film lovers."

"Of course, everyone sitting here will become the backbone of the domestic film industry in the future. I hope that everyone can show China's history and culture from a different perspective than before, and show China's films to the world!"

"Tch, it's not as if you didn't say it. Who of you doesn't want to make your favorite movie? It's so easy. You can't get any money to make a movie!" Some people were dissatisfied with Wu Jianye's answer.

Wu Jianye shrugged his shoulders, for him, the funding for filming is really not a problem.
As for making his favorite movies in the future, Wu Jianye did not lie. In his opinion, the so-called art movies are not so highbrow. They have to be made so that no one can understand them. It's really so low-level, all the same goals are storytelling.

Just like those who write online novels in later generations, he does not think that traditional literature represents high-level, while online literature is low-level. As long as you enjoy writing books and reading books, you are fine. As for how to interpret, that is the reader's business, not author's business.

It boils down to one sentence, just shoot people who are worthy of watching this movie!

　Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~
