Chapter 126 New Movie!
"This is a matter of different people's opinions, and the wisdom of the wise. "Front and Cloud" does use small plots and anti-plots in the plot, but overall, this is still a story with a big plot."

Chen Xi gave this answer after thinking about it.

The concepts of major plot, minor plot, and anti-plot are explained more clearly in the legendary Hollywood screenwriting bible "Story", and this reporter naturally understands it.

"At the end of the movie, all the plots are interspersed. I think this is enough. Even a person who can't talk about movie aesthetics will not feel that he can't understand this movie. There is no gap between the movie and the audience."

Chen Xi's words had a bit of insight, but also a bit of screenwriting professionalism.

But people who read this kind of magazine can at least basically know something, and can understand Chen Xi's words.

"Some people also say that the box office of "Frontier" is due to the protection of domestic films. Originally, there should be many foreign blockbusters in this summer, but there are only one or two. "Front" took advantage of the loopholes. Your protection of domestic films What's your opinion?"

"The release date of "On the Frontier" has been set a long time ago, and it's not for some so-called loophole... What's more, in the schedule of "On the Frontier", there are still fierce movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". Do you think this schedule can’t be considered too good if you really want to talk about it in detail?”

"As for the protection of domestic films... I think there is a reason for the existence of this issue. Our film industry is still relatively fragile, and blockbuster films are just in their infancy. Some things are always necessary, and there are no such things in the world. How many countries are protected by movies? However, movies and the market are a complex relationship between two-way choices. The interest and acceptance of audiences will affect the choice of themes and production directions in the early stage of movies. On the other hand, the improvement of movie quality will also make audiences The aesthetics and selection tendencies are affected. The market mechanism must have a cruel side, but at least the results obtained are relatively fair. The real way out for Chinese films lies in the efforts of the creators, and they can strengthen themselves in the competition... we cannot rely on these.”

"Since you mentioned the big plot before, from the perspective of the play itself, is this an optimistic or pessimistic one?"

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "I gave a closed ending. This matter has been resolved, even if it is not perfect. So, if you want to say whether you are optimistic or pessimistic, you should be able to see it from the movie!"

"About the ending of the movie itself, what I want to say is that in the movie, there are so many characters in the end, whether they are drug dealers, dentists, policemen, or Wang Luodan who is just a pure woman. Although everyone has different identities, if we jump To be clear, from a high point, they are just one person, with their own world, their own joys and sorrows, and of course, he has his own irreversible destiny."

... After talking about some things, the reporter also needs to choose from them. After all, there is only half a page, and there are not many words that can be accommodated, even if the font is small...

What's more, there is a photo of Chen Xi in the middle, so there are even fewer words that can be accommodated on the page.

Soon, the interview went on for half an hour, and the reporter began to ask some interesting things.

"As a director born in the [-]s, what do you think you will do after "Frontier"?"

"Continue to make movies! And I'm already preparing my new movie!" Chen Xi smiled.

"Oh? A new movie?" The reporter became interested, and after such a casual chat, a good point came out: "What kind of movie is that?"

Chen Xi said: "It may be an action, or it may be a comedy. I will confirm it as soon as possible."

"Will you still stick to the narrative line of "Front and Cloud"?"

"...After all, whether it's an action or a comedy, applying the structure of "Frontier" will not be very suitable. I think I will change the mode!"

... When this issue of "Popular Cinema" published an exclusive interview with Chen Xi, Chen Xi once again received a lot of praise.

"Judging from this interview, Chen Xizhen is a relatively wise director with a deep gap in his chest. This is also a description of him. As a post-[-]s generation, he was able to make his film career to this point in such a short time. The future will be limitless!"

"The interview content of "Popular Movies" and Chen Xi's face really make people have to say that Chen Xi has too many benefits. This is a young director full of aura. I hope he can carry this aura all the time. go down."

At the same time, there are still many people who are more interested in Chen Xi's new movie.

"Chen Xi is going to make a new movie? His speed is quite fast... Such a fast speed is also a bit worrying, and he said that he will transfer to comedy or action movies. I doubt whether he can do it? Don't use up the popularity of "Frontier Frontier" that you worked hard for."

"Comedy or action, Chen Xi, are you sure you're really ready? But I'm looking forward to it. I want to see if the director who surprised me can continue this kind of surprise in the future."

... From it, Chen Xi's current popularity can be seen at a glance.

He has preliminarily established the "Chen Xi" brand, making everyone believe that this brand can produce good movies. With this belief, Chen Xi will manage it well and make it gradually become more and more tough.

During this period of time, "On the Frontier" continued to be released in major theaters.

After the arrival of the second week, "Front and Cloud" has basically maintained a daily schedule of close to 20% or even higher. Before the arrival of "Transformers", the film's schedule can definitely be guaranteed. Of course, this week "On the Frontier" also played up the advantages of a good movie with strong stamina.

Many films are basically only the first week of sales, after the first week, the box office of the second week will drop by two-thirds or even more... After that, the box office of the film will only drop, and the final main box office will be in the first week. It's been a week.But "Border Situation" did not. In the second week of this film, the box office still exceeded 1000 million. So, after two weeks, the box office has already exceeded 2000 million, becoming one of the best-selling domestic films so far this year!

Of course, this figure also means that Chen Xi and the others have easily recovered the cost and made a fortune!But this will not end here, the movie's box office will continue to grow, and the subsequent increase in revenue will all be pure profits!
