Chapter 320 You think too highly of our domestic audience

If you want to exceed 3 million, in addition to whether "Terror Cruise" can be accepted by the public, you also have to see whether "Spider-Man " can give it face.

After all, this Hollywood superhero blockbuster is not vegetarian.

It wants to eat meat!

As soon as Wang Shu learned about yesterday's six-hour box office data, Han Sanping called.

The two chatted for a while and reached a consensus to continue all-round publicity.

Then, Wang Shu, Gong Li and Liang Jiahui were interviewed by Sina.com in the afternoon.

Gong Li is currently working in Hollywood, and her schedule is relatively tight, so she only has time to participate in the promotion of "Terror Cruise" in the past few days.

Therefore, as the heroine, she will be very busy these days. Whether it is in the morning, afternoon, or evening, various interview schedules have been arranged.

"Hello, Director Wang, hello Teacher Gong Li, hello Teacher Liang Jiahui."

First it was Wang Shu, then Gong Li, and then Liang Jiahui.

Wang Shu is young, although he is the junior of Gong Li and Liang Jiahui, but he is an already famous director.

But who is Chen Kaige?
That is a noble second-generation son. How could he admit that the young man with whom he had a quarrel made a good movie!
"You didn't wear your hat properly, don't get recognized!" Chen Kaige reminded in a low voice when he saw that the hat Chen Hong was wearing on her head exposed her forehead.

At the same time, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong walked into the cinema to contribute to the box office of "Terror Cruise".

Watching it again today, she understood a lot of things that she didn't understand yesterday, and her inner evaluation of the movie was once again improved.

Gong Li is in the front because Gong Li is now an international actress and the number one mainland actress, and the venue for this interview is the mainland. In addition, Gong Li is also the main heroine of "Terror Cruise".

Chen Kaige snorted disdainfully: "That's because our domestic movies and commercial films started late. If Hong Kong had started earlier, this type of movies would have already existed."

"Hello."

Chen Kaige saw a lot of similar words, which made him so angry that he almost had high blood pressure.

After saying that, he snorted again, "It's a fool like him who openly talks about plagiarism, which is really embarrassing for Chinese-language movies."

When Chen Hong heard this, she rolled her eyes at Chen Kaige, and at the same time adjusted her hat to cover it more tightly.

In fact, Chen Hong didn’t understand everything yesterday, but she only vaguely understood it and thought the movie was very good.

Now, it's finally her turn to regain her place.

"Ha." Chen Kaige sneered, "It's not like there aren't movies like this in Hollywood. What's there to brag about?"

As for the two actors Gong Li and Liang Jiahui.

I was really angry, so I walked into the cinema with Chen Hong, ready to see what happened.

In a blink of an eye, the afternoon interview ended, the three of them had dinner together, and then continued the evening interview without stopping.

After all, Wang Shu is a great director with good results, and "Terror Cruise" is a science fiction film that the outside world thinks Wang Shu is good at. As well as the response after the internal screening of China Film and Television was very good, in fact, Chen Kaige knows in his heart that "Terror Cruise" is most likely to be Not bad.

As a director who has spent time in the United States, he is not the type of audience who cannot understand "Terror Cruise".

Originally, Chen Kaige did not intend to go to the cinema to contribute to the box office of "Terror Cruise", but he saw many topics analyzing, explaining, and touting "Terror Cruise" on his computer at home.

When Chen Kaige heard Chen Hong's question, he suddenly felt like he was being slapped in the face. He did not reply, but remained silent.

He wants face and cannot afford to lose face.

Therefore, it is in front of Liang Jiahui.

Nearly two hours later, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong came out of the cinema together.

"Why don't you speak?" Chen Hong asked deliberately when she saw Chen Kaige was silent.

Next to her, Chen Kaige was even more outrageous than she was. His head was tightly wrapped, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

He even said that he understood the setting of "Terror Cruise" better than Chen Hong did when he first watched it.

Last night, she told Chen Kaige that "Terror Cruise" was very good. Chen Kaige was so harsh in her words that she felt a little emotional.

For another example, if someone can't understand it, if someone can't understand it, then no one will understand it in ten years. Of course, that doesn't mean that no one will understand "The Promise" in ten years. It's a piece of rubbish, but I just borrowed Chen Kaige's words. The sentence is only used here in "Terror Cruise".

Whether it is a film that will go down in the history of Chinese-language films, or whether it is a matter of IQ that you can't understand, etc., you will know after buying a ticket and going to the cinema and taking a look with his wise eyes.

In the entertainment industry, the status of great directors is higher than that of actors. In addition, "Terror Cruise" is a movie written and directed by Wang Shu, so he will definitely be at the top.

The three of them all kept smiling and responded politely.

For example, it will be a film that will go down in the history of Chinese-language films.

"Furthermore, Wang Shu was able to write and direct this movie, plagiarizing a lot of Hollywood science fiction films."

Last night, Chen Hong told him that "Terror Cruise" was very good, but Chen Kaige was always stubborn.

Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige, who was silent next to him, and asked softly: "How is it?"

Sina.com and the movie "Terror Cruise" interviewed a young woman in her twenties and eighties, who greeted her with a smile on her face.

The two came to the cinema to watch "Terror Cruise". He didn't want to be recognized by passers-by. Then there was a rumor that Chen Kaige went to the cinema to watch "Terror Cruise".

If Gong Li goes to Hong Kong Island, the host on Hong Kong Island may put Liang Jiahui in front to say hello. This is the same principle.

Don't look at it as just a simple polite greeting, there is also something important in it.

"Hollywood has it, but we don't have it in China." Chen Hong said softly.

Chen Hong also grew up pampered, and she did not refute Chen Kaige.

Because deep down in her heart, she felt that what Chen Kaige said made sense.

Then he said: "In any case, Wang Shu's "Terror Cruise" is excellent, and it may not be as good as "Spider-Man"."

"Haha." Chen Kaige chuckled, "You think so highly of our domestic audience."

"Domestic audiences have watched relatively few science fiction films, even soft science fiction films like "Terror Cruise"."

“Without fertile soil, it is impossible to have a large enough audience.”

"Why do you think domestic directors rarely make science fiction films? Is it because there are no scripts for science fiction films? Or is it because there are no directors who can make them?"

"neither!"

"It's just that the audience for science fiction films is too small. No matter how good the film is, it can only make a lot of money but not the box office."

"That's why no one took pictures."

When Chen Kaige said this, he couldn't help but mention the movie "The Promise" he directed, and hummed: "For example, not many people can understand the movie "The Promise"."

"As long as it is a movie that requires mental effort, only a small number of domestic audiences can understand it."

"If 'Terror Cruise' is released at the end of the year, it should be able to do well at the box office."

"But during this May Day holiday, there will be a stumbling block in the way of Spider-Man."

"The box office of "Terror Cruise" is in doubt."

On the other side, well-known domestic directors such as Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, and Jiang Wen also came out of other cinemas one after another.

"Movies from all over the world are there, watch more and think more, and learn from each other's strengths."

"hehe."

"Having said that, there aren't many people who might make some progress."

Zhang Yimou murmured.

At this moment, he became more and more convinced that Wang Shu was a talented director.

Although there are indeed similar films in Hollywood, many domestic film practitioners have never seen such a script. All I can say is that the movies from all over the world are indeed out there. It’s right to watch more, think more, and learn from each other’s strong points.

However, it is not easy to do it without some talent.

"September is the Venice Film Festival, and Wang Shu's film "The Crowd" has been filmed."

"Now that I've watched "Terror Cruise", I kind of want to watch his movie "Humanity" in advance."

Zhang Yimou chuckled, then shook his head to throw away these distracting thoughts.

"This time in Venice, in addition to Wang Shu and Jiang Wen, there is also "Lust, Caution" by Li Eucalyptus."

"I hope the quality of Wang Shu's "Human Mountain" is online, otherwise there will be too many Chinese-language films to be shortlisted."

"If the quality is on the line, there will be no gossip if everyone is shortlisted."

"With Wang Shu's level of directing literary films, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"It just depends on whether you can win the prize."

"He is only 20 years old this year, right?"

"If I win the Venice Golden Lion at the age of 20, it will be recorded in the annals of international film history."

"Chinese-language films can also be proud of this."

"I hope "The Crowd" will be an excellent art film."

"It would also be good if China could produce a 20-year-old director who is famous internationally and won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival."

Jiang Wen came out of the cinema and immediately lit a cigarette.

"Reincarnation setting."

"Soft science fiction film"

"Written and directed."

"Movies from all over the world are in front of you, watch more and think more, and learn from each other's strengths."

"This little Director Wang is really something."

"I've also watched a lot of foreign movies, but I don't have the brains to create a script with this kind of setting."

Whether it was Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou or others, they all automatically imagined that Wang Shu had watched foreign movies and learned from them before he wrote the script of "Terror Cruise" and made this movie.

There are traces to follow.

In addition, Wang Shu's films include the first "Buried Alive" in which a coffin conquers the world, and then "The Tuner", "Space Traveler", and then "Terror Cruise".

They are suspense films, soft science fiction films, and suspense soft science fiction films.

Not only has it never ventured into other types of movies, but it has also been a step-by-step process.

First there are suspense films, then there are soft science fiction films, a combination of the two, and then there is "Terror Cruise", a suspense science fiction film that combines suspense and soft science fiction.

As for TV dramas, except for a palace battle drama, the other four idol dramas are all related to fantasy and science fiction.

Broadening the scope, fantasy can also be counted as science fiction.

Just like what Wang Shu talked about before, "Journey to the West" can also be regarded as a science fiction film from hundreds of years ago.

In short, except for the TV drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the film and television works directed by Wang Shu are not out of the ordinary.

The elements are either linked to suspense or science fiction.

Instead of making a horror film today, a historical film tomorrow, a comedy the day after tomorrow, a tomb robbery film the day after tomorrow, a police and gangster film the day after tomorrow, etc.

Not to mention that Wang Shu is only 20 years old, even a well-known international director cannot be good at all types of scripts.

Wang Shu's film and television works, except for "The Legend of Zhen Huan", are only related to suspense and science fiction, and it is a step-by-step process.

Under normal circumstances, having talent and talent does not mean that you cannot do it.

But if it is a short period of time, any type of film and television works can be produced with ease, and the box office will be high after the release.
No director in the world can be so outrageous.

This goes against common sense.

It is bound to cause consternation and confusion.

Then, he lay on the operating table and acted as a guinea pig.

As time went by, the evening interview schedule came to an end.

Before leaving, Gong Li took the initiative to ask: "Director Wang, would you like to go have supper together?"

The first mainland actress took the initiative to invite her to a banquet. Wang Shu couldn't help but give him face, so he responded: "Okay."

Gong Li not only called Wang Shu, but also Liang Jiahui.

Although Liang Jiahui is the best actor, Gong Li is an international movie queen after all, and there is also the great director Wang Shu, so she has to give him face.

Gong Li was the host, and the three of them went to a place with a pretty good environment and ordered some food.

Then we chatted about movies and their respective interesting stories while eating.

Gong Li suddenly looked at Wang Shu and asked, "Director Wang, have you ever thought about developing your career in Hollywood in the future?"

If it were any other domestic director, Gong Li would naturally not ask this question.

But Wang Shu is different. He is a famous director in China at the age of 20.

This "Terror Cruise" will be released in many regions around the world.

In addition, Wang Shu has won awards at both the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival.
Although it is only a small award, he is a director who has won awards at three major European awards.

Wu Yucheng from Hong Kong can go to Hollywood, but there is no reason why Wang Shu can't go.

In Gong Li's opinion, Wang Shu will definitely go to Hollywood in the future like Wu Yutai from Hong Kong Island and Li Gu from Baodao.

After all, as an actor or director, no one wants to become famous in Hollywood.

When Liang Jiahui heard Gong Li ask this question, he also looked at Wang Shu.

He thought the same thing as Gong Li.

Wang Shu was already a major director in China at the age of 20.

Young and energetic, he will definitely go to Hollywood.

"Hollywood." Wang Shu opened his mouth, "It depends on whether there is a chance in the future. If there is a chance, I should go."

In fact, he said it so tactfully, but in fact he had already decided that he would go to Hollywood to make a career.

Although he is already a big director in China, because he is not a professional, no matter whether he is inside or outside the system, there are always people who look at people through their nostrils.

This is something that he cannot change no matter how many film and television works he produces in China.

The only solution is to go to Hollywood and get gold plated.

As long as he becomes famous in Hollywood, he will be a truly international director.

The status of a great international director is enough for him to use his nostrils to look at people in or outside the system who have a domestic academic background.

Because, after he left the country, he still had a job to eat.

Those domestically educated people have also lost their sense of superiority.
