The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 247 The former Chen Jingxing won't come back?

Chen Jingxing's remarks at the "Matrix" launch conference did give the media and marketing accounts a lot of hype, whether it was DreamWorks' plan to shoot a zombie-themed TV series, or the idea of ​​"Matrix"'s novel kung fu violence aesthetics.

Of course, he was prepared for some reactions from netizens, such as the gimmicks caused by zombie movies, including DreamWorks spending huge sums of 1.3 million to make animated films, etc. These are all things that can cause issues, especially if the protagonist is DreamWorks. basis.

If it is an ordinary film company, even if it directly announces its transformation and starts filming Zombie Network, netizens will usually not give it a look.

However, DreamWorks has always shown itself as producing high-quality film and television dramas, and there is a big contrast with the zombie theme, which is relatively low in the Internet industry.

Even if movie fans clarified that it wasn't Huaguo Zombie, but Hollywood's type of undead, Hollywood's undead-themed movies are not of a high-end style. Usually, such zombie movies are classified as plasma movies.

Plasma film is a type of movie that can be just as the name suggests, it is bloody stings, blood splashes everywhere, with headshots, amputated limbs, poked eyeballs, biting, tearing as the main selling points, and it is also a niche movie in Hollywood. , are niche in cult films, let alone in China.

No matter what kind it is, it is not a type of film and television drama that can be put on the table by major manufacturers.

However, netizens also have some expectations when complaining, or because they have expectations for DreamWorks, they are secretly looking forward to whether DreamWorks can make new ideas for the zombie theme that has been stereotyped in the minds of the audience, so that Provoke arguments and complaints.

It even has a curiosity-seeking heart. Usually, it is those small companies that are not on the stage that shoot botnets, attracting users who are curious, and these botnets will also play some colored borders to attract views. .

This is the first time that a serious big company, and a big company with a good reputation and production level is going to shoot this kind of niche theme. The audience actually wants to see what kind of work it will produce.

Chen Jingxing was prepared for these controversial issues, but Wang Molin's criticism and backlash against "Matrix" was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Moreover, after Wang Molin fired the first shot, many people followed him. It may be that Chen Jingxing created a new style of kung fu aesthetics for "Matrix", and his remarks about bringing kung fu elements back to audiences all over the world really offended. There are many people who eat this bowl of rice.

After all, everyone has been making martial arts action movies and TV dramas for so many years. If you, a sci-fi professional, suddenly come out and say you want to "revive kung fu movies", it will inevitably give people a feeling that "we" are all idiots?As far as you can feel.

So not only did Wang Molin criticize Chen Jingxing without naming his name, but some of Wang Molin's disciples and filmmakers who are still active in martial arts-themed and action-themed films also expressed similar meanings.

Very few people are more excited than Wang Molin. For example, a highly respected teacher in the industry who has taught martial arts and ancient puppet shows for many martial arts dramas bluntly said: "Kung Fu movies don't need anyone to save them. They need to innovate what is already being innovated now." On the way, there are many predecessors and teachers in Huaguo who are committed to how to better integrate martial arts into film and television dramas. Their efforts have made the Kung Fu element continue to flourish on the screen and on the screen. How can a layman talk about the innovation of Kung Fu elements? , and even create a "new kung fu movie", which is simply a joke in the world, I advise a certain company and a certain young director to focus more on the right path and stop thinking about hype."

Except for a few people who spoke harshly, most of them were very tactful. After all, although Chen Jingxing was young, his status in the film and television industry was not low, and the figure of DreamWorks was here.

Moreover, Chen Jingxing has a lot of fans and fans, and he is also the creator of high-quality resources. Everyone can't see up and down, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, like Liang Jiaban, who came out of the arena again under the power of money?You can disagree with Chen Jingxing's words, but you can't ignore his money and resources, and you should cherish the opportunity to make money.

So even if the meaning expressed is similar to that of Wang Molin, but inside and out, it is said that Chen Jingxing does not have much experience in kung fu film and television dramas, and he exaggerated what he said at the press conference. There is no need for you reporters to make a big fuss. really.

It sounds like Wang Molin's "fire" and Chen Jingxing's "big words".

The people who eat melons are very interested in this topic, and it even triggered a discussion on the evolution of Chinese kung fu movies along the way.

Of course, the main content is still inseparable from pink and black, keyboard confrontation.

However, many of Chen Jingxing's fans felt a little disappointed. They were not disappointed with Chen Jingxing's so-called "new Kung Fu movie", but thought that Chen Jingxing had gone astray.

Kung Fu-themed film and television dramas are honestly in China, and many audiences are a bit tired of aesthetics. It can be seen from their box office ceiling that even the well-known "Slaying the Wolf 2" has a final box office of only 5 million. In the context of the box office explosion in [-], it has lagged far behind the results of other mainstream themes.

Many movie fans like Chen Jingxing, in fact, they like the kind of brain-burning, high-concept movies. If "Matrix" was just announced, many movie fans who were not very interested in "Gravity" were inspired. After all, from the name I found the feeling of "Source Code" and "Signal", which may be another high-concept brain-burning movie.

But according to what Chen Jingxing said, "Matrix" is not only a sci-fi kung fu film, but also has a very high proportion of kung fu elements, and he even put forward the term "new kung fu film".

This disappointed many movie fans. If I wanted to watch kung fu movies, I would go to martial arts dramas to watch action movies. I like your movies of Chen Jingxing because of kung fu?

Many movie fans actually want to watch movies like "Source Code", "Signal" or "Fatal Identity", with brain-burning suspense settings and complex settings, coupled with novel high-concepts, not for watching space disasters and kung fu movies.

It's just that Chen Jingxing seems to have gone on a different path since "Gravity", which disappointed the brain-burning sci-fi fans again and again, let alone DreamWorks is going to make another zombie drama.

Is it because Chen Jingxing really ran out of talents and has no brain-burning sci-fi inspiration?

Still can't recognize your own advantages, and stubbornly want to challenge new themes?

This kind of questioning began when DreamWorks launched the so-called billion-cost space disaster movie "Gravity", but with the broadcast of "Source Code" and the TV series "Signal", fans temporarily forgot about it.

As soon as the news that "Matrix" defined "new kung fu movie" came out, some movie fans were once again dissatisfied. They thought that after the filming of "Gravity", the next movie should return to the brain-burning work, right?I didn't expect to start advocating some kung fu elements again, and to shoot a trilogy.

Could it be that the talented director who created "Comet" turned out to never come back?
