Chapter 366: Realistic movies can’t be too realistic?

"There is really no need to put the responsibility on the market and the audience! The market can guide it slowly, and don't overcorrect, and don't let it go!"

“When a person imposes his own understanding of a certain cultural form on the entire field, he either lacks thoughtful and crude logic, or he has some hidden intention.”

"If a director really complains about the market from the bottom of his heart, then he really should retire! Therefore, the times will ultimately choose us!"

Who is the most popular director in China?

This sentence was placed five years ago. No, two years ago, it is estimated that many people’s choice was Feng Pants.

In an era when audiences across the country were deprived of the idea of ​​watching movies by a large number of disgusting literary and artistic films, Feng Pants' original Feng's comedy has dominated the domestic film industry for decades.

Lao Mouzi, Kaizi Ge, and Feng Pengtong are known as the three kings of domestic directors.

Lao Mouzi and Kai Zige are both directors who have received honors at the three major film festivals.

Among them, only Feng Pants has no special honor. After all, it is very difficult for comedy to win awards. Apart from the Best Director at the Cairo Film Festival, this guy does not have many artistic achievements to speak of.

Although Gu Zhongyu completely defeated Director Feng in terms of popularity, there are still some nostalgic netizens who support Feng Pants and say that what Director Feng said is reasonable.

Feng Pants, the veteran Lunar New Year Emperor, has lost his glory in recent years, and the movies he has made have declined to varying degrees in terms of IQ and integrity, but his qualifications are there, and the concept of Spring Festival stalls was carried forward from his hands. When it comes to domestic comedy movies, you can't avoid him at all.

When "Private Customization" was released, I started angrily criticizing film critics!
The action range of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was a bit too big, which caused thousands of people to dislike it.

"We said we won't take the blame!"

"Since the failure of "1942", Feng Pants has begun to enter the mode of complaining about women. However, Director Feng achieved success precisely by understanding the market. Now in his sixties, he is living a miserable life."

12.3% of the films are ranked low. I don’t understand why it is so low. He only has so many roles. Why are other films so low? Pan Jinlian ranks first in the prime market share, accounting for 37.5%. Li Yian's new movie schedule rate is not as good as him. What did they say?

The lower the age level, the more eager to be respected!

You are so quick to throw the blame here, saying that domestic movies are getting hotter and hotter, and the audience should be blamed!
Who can accept it?

What do these people think?

Netizen [Florious Nianhua]: "Because there are some vulgar people, the film studios will make countless bad movies just to cater to them, and they can still achieve high box office, resulting in the quality of the movies always being at a low level. The entire movie market is completely dominated by these vulgar people. People messed it up, which resulted in fewer good films being scheduled and more bad ones.”

Netizen [Zhao Jiayu]: "Director Feng mentioned that many people are worried about watching a movie even though they know it is a bad movie. It is like silently ignoring bad people when they see it. Bad phenomena are becoming more rampant, and they are all caused by habit."

As a co-author, viewers who watch your movie can't watch other movies, otherwise they will be just stupid viewers!
Faced with this high-level network keyboard battle between Gu Zhongyu and Feng Pants, all media and people on the street were extremely excited!
"Is the Chinese movie hot because the audience is hot? The head-on conflict between Gu Zhongyu and Feng Pants!"

Gu Zhongyu is a well-known actor and film company owner. In the past few years, the films he has starred in, written, and produced have not only achieved great success at the box office, but also won a lot of domestic and foreign film awards, including Oscar statuettes. The four seats have also promoted rising stars such as Chen Sicheng and Guo Fan.

When "1942" was released, the imax version of "Pi" was released within 7 days. What was Feng Pants' attitude?

Of course, most netizens are still sensible, and many people support Gu Zhongyu.

Articles and videos with similar titles and marketing accounts soon swept through all major portal websites. Big Vs also began to take stock of the two people’s grievances, starting from the earliest holiday between the Wang brothers and Zongheng Entertainment, to this Several years of movie wars…

The audience he scolded included you!

In his own home, Feng Trousers was so angry that he smashed a lot of furniture to get discouraged!
He hasn't had such a war of words with people in the industry for a long time. Others may be afraid of him, Gu Zhongyu, but he has the Wang brothers as his back, so he won't be afraid of him!
What made him even more sad and angry was that the headline of the main section of the newspaper the next day was blaming the audience for the bad movie? How can we identify with such a director? The battlefield of a good director should be in the studio. He might as well have less rhetoric and more reputation.

After quarreling with the film critics, I started to quarrel with the theater chains. I figured that the theater chains were too strong, so I might as well quarrel with the audience!
What a bad move!
"How dare he do this!"

But he has a market and an audience!
Audiences just love Feng’s comedies!

But times are changing, and the age level of the audience is gradually declining. Nowadays, most of the people who have developed new movie-watching habits are those born in the 1980s, and those born in the 1990s are also starting to make an impact.

After smoking several cigarettes, he opened Weibo and wrote: "I don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior! With the increase in bad movies, shouldn't the audience be responsible?"

"The domestic film market is now in a very hot situation, and this situation is supported by a large set of figures. The box office figures in February this year even ranked first in the world, surpassing the United States!
"How did such a good situation come about? In fact, this market was created by traditional directors like us. Some people just kept up with the times and tried their luck to achieve some achievements, while we have made more than ten films in a row. It’s a box office hit every time. It’s us who created this era!”

"On the contrary, today, when we maintain this good situation, we are described as having sour grapes. I think this is a disregard for contemporary movies!"

"The increase in bad films has had an extremely bad impact on the development of Chinese films; it will lead to the fact that no producer will continue to be willing to invest in a serious film that has put a lot of effort into! We call on the Directors Association and the General Administration of Optoelectronics to intervene in this issue. "

What do you mean?
Ban bad movies from entering the market?

How can it be?

Even Americans can’t do it!

And what criteria do you have to judge whether a movie is bad or good?
"I support Director Feng. All directors are making bad films. What future can Chinese-language films have?"

"That's right, Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master" is so bad!" Of course, more people are still questioning, "I don't understand! It seems like I have to get your approval from Feng Pants to watch a movie, and someone else is filming it. All movies have to be approved by him! Are you the emperor?"

"Excuse me, what are the criteria for evaluating bad movies? Is it "Private Customization"?"

The supporters of both parties were more concerned than the parties involved. Even after Gu Zhongyu and Feng Pants went out of business, netizens continued to criticize each other endlessly, vowing to tell the difference!
……

At Zongheng Company, Jiang Shuying looked at the comments on the Internet about Gu Feng's battle, frowned and said, "Feng Pants doesn't seem to have any works on the market recently, why would he do this?"

The movie "Old Paoer" won't be completed until next year. It's definitely impossible to promote it in such a hurry.

Could it be that he was simply unhappy with Deng Chao?

It shouldn't be the case. No matter how much Deng Chao annoys him, it's unlikely that he will complain in front of all the media that the audience is a jerk. If he just calls "The Breakup Master" a jerk by name, that will be the end of it!
"Isn't this obvious? Now that I am famous and profitable, I want to gain power!" As a film business manager, Zhang Miao hit the nail on the head and understood Feng Pants' operation.

"Tsk tsk... the statue is too ugly!" Gong Geer couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"He shows up so frequently, and he says between the lines that I am doing it for the good of Chinese movies. He probably wants to plot Li Shaohong's position."

Now the president of the fifth Film Directors Guild is Li Shaohong, and the general election is about to take place. I guess Feng Pants has been jumping up and down during this period just to build momentum for himself, so that he can become the president of the Directors Guild.

Gu Zhongyu smiled coldly, "I remember when we first established the association, we said that the Directors Association is just a non-governmental organization. I didn't expect it to be so well remembered!"

Bai Bin put forward a different view: "It seems... Director Feng has become independent from the Wang brothers' company and formed a new company with Zhang Guoli. Maybe we shouldn't be so quarrelsome with him, and we can even win him over... "

As the second secret secretary and recently the manager of the publicity department, Bai Bin did not follow everyone's complaints, but tried to find out what was beneficial to the company's development from this incident.

"I know, but it's impossible for the Wang brothers to let Feng Pengtong leave Huayi. Feng Pongtang has always been a member of Huayi. He still has a lot of shares in Huayi. He has broken bones and connected tendons!"

"I'm so naive!"

And Gu Zhongyu is not as commercially valuable as Feng Pants. He has long since passed. The quality of his future movies will be worse than the last. "If You Are the One 2024" in the 3 Lunar New Year release has not exceeded million in one month after its release. It is simply ridiculous. Lose your teeth!

Jiang Shuying reminded worriedly: "You scolded Feng Pengshi so harshly this time. He can't do anything on the surface, but he might find someone to blackmail you secretly. You have to be careful..."

No one knows the methods of the Wang brothers better than him. In recent years, many artists have been criticized verbally and verbally, and they have their shadow behind them.

For Gu Zhongyu, it couldn't be easier to cause trouble for him. He could arrange for someone to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day and secretly take photos of his trysts with beautiful women; or he could find a few female celebrities he had relationships with and bribe them. , asking them to post short compositions is very effective.

This is Gu Zhongyu's foresight. In the little black book Dudu keeps, all the actresses whose names are written down will receive gifts from her on a regular basis. Gu Zhongyu will occasionally send messages and meet for dates to maintain the relationship between the two parties. Feelings to ensure that your home will not be stolen silently...

In later generations, there were many couples who broke up on bad terms. After breaking up, he still remembered deeply the things they posted about each other online in essays!
"Operation Mekong" is a theme movie.

This is the most basic understanding.

Secondly, it must be restored as much as possible. Only the most real events can bring people the most real feelings!
There are still many theme movies that have appeared on the market in the past two years, such as "Revolution of 1911", "Tangshan Earthquake", "The Founding of the Party", "The Founding of the People's Republic" and so on.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is the pinnacle of the main theme, and before it, it must be "Operation Mekong".

Let’s talk about something that many people don’t know. The domestic homicide rate is 10 per 0.7 people, which is comparable to the safest country in the world, Switzerland;
More than 98% of domestic violent terrorist incidents are eliminated by the police in the budding stage.

One of the most intuitive experiences is that no matter day or night, the land under your feet can almost be walked with peace of mind, which is something that many Western countries cannot do.

Peace does not fall from the sky. Behind the quiet years, there are people who are carrying a heavy load and moving forward.

What you may not know is that on average, domestic police officers sacrifice more than 400 people every year, and their average age is 46.3 years old.

Many people say that "singing praises" is meaningless, but for some people, if you don't sing praises, no one in the world will know their existence, and no one will know what sacrifices they have made to protect our national security; the reason why you can't see the darkness , because someone blocked the darkness behind them!
The prototype incident of the story is probably well known to many people. The "10.5 Mekong River Massacre" that shocked China and the world will not be described in detail.

In fact, this incident itself has the potential to be adapted into a movie: the case itself is shocking enough, and the whole incident is also very warning and educational!
Movie adaptations are very dramatic, so it is impossible to copy them exactly, and if they were to be copied exactly, two hours would not be enough!

And if it were to be shot like that, it would easily become mediocre and become a main theme work that is truly praised for the sake of singing.

Therefore, there must be detailed artistry.

For example, setting an emotional line, such as setting an animal line.

The previous film "Operation Mekong" was well shot, but due to certain political considerations, compromises were made in many aspects, so that the shock of the film was not strong enough.
Gu Zhongyu is not prepared to do this. He chose Lin Chaoxian as the director, but at the same time he is prepared to write this bright line clearly. Therefore, the current main line of the script is Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu, and the sub-line is the negotiations between the four countries.

Then, the script was sent back!

It seems that we have to go to the relevant person in charge and ask them to talk to the optoelectronics side.

Gu Zhongyu immediately picked up his cell phone and called Director Zhang. This was the boss of the GA department, who was responsible for supervising the filming of "Operation Mekong".
