Chapter 845 Protection and Service

In fact, not only Gongchang Guoshi, but also the entire domestic film industry at this time in 2004, there were few directors who were good at narrative.

On the one hand, this is because before 2000, the domestic film market was very small and not fully marketized. It was difficult for films to make money at the box office.

In this way, directors naturally like to make artistic films that are more self-centered and more likely to win awards.

If you can't make a profit, why can't you ask for fame?

On the other hand, it is because the film industry here is deeply influenced by the New Wave movement and is more literary and artistic.

To a certain extent, Gong Changguoshi and his generation of domestic directors have more in common with the European film industry.

After all, we are all young people!

However, due to the influence of traditional culture and social atmosphere, domestic movies cannot be as explicit as those of European directors such as Lars von Trier...

This makes domestic movies feel a bit inconsistent.

Of course, if you are willing to make some films that vilify your country, it is easy to gain something at major European film festivals.

Who made old Europe gradually decline? Foreign adults can only rely on these movies to gain psychological balance!

In fact, this is not just domestic, many Asian countries that like to go to Europe to participate in film festivals and win awards from time to time are already aware of this.

In fact, many so-called famous directors were created using this method. I don’t know if their movies are really artistic, but it’s true that 80% of Chinese people will be unhappy after watching them.

In this regard, even the early movies shot by Gong Changguoshi himself have some similar flavor. But with the improvement of his status, he no longer needs to use such methods.

After all, just like what is said in "Water Margin", the purpose of killing and setting fire is to "get recruited". Without this last step, wouldn't it be in vain!

Therefore, Gong Chang Guoshi, who can now be regarded as a banner in the domestic film industry, will fight against such opportunistic and traitorous behavior.

What he needs most now is to see if he can gain anything at the Oscars. After all, this is what he wants.

However, judging from the experience of "Hero" at the Oscars last year, this seems to be quite difficult.

Not to mention the black-hearted film companies in Hollywood, the seemingly open but actually xenophobic character of Americans left Gong Changguoshi helpless.

After all, he is not a seriously Westernized Ang Lee, who can make movies according to the preferences of Europeans and Americans...

Another thing that Grandmaster Gong Chang is more interested in is commercial movies.

There is no other way. Who said that with the development of the country, the commercial film market will become bigger and bigger?

As one of the leading directors in the country, if he cannot follow up in time, he will probably be said to be outdated and outdated soon!

Imperial Master Gong Chang is quite familiar with these people in the country.

Especially a guy who likes to use big guns. The group of wild people headed by him have been unhappy with Gong Chang Guoshi, a group of directors with academic backgrounds for a long time...

Fortunately, "Hero", released the year before last, was still very encouraging to Master Gong Chang.

That movie is considered by insiders to have ushered in the era of domestic blockbusters. Although its reputation isn't that good, isn't that what happens with commercial blockbusters?

In contrast, the box office results of "Heroes" are genuine. Not to mention a good harvest domestically, it even made a lot of money in North America.

Although due to the cunningness of North American publishers, this money basically did not fall into the pocket of Gong Chang Guoshi, Gong Chang Guoshi had already established his confidence in the field of commercial blockbusters.

so,

There is now "House of Flying Daggers" which will be released in half a month.

The reason why Master Gong Chang agreed to help with the review of the foreign film "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was not only because of Ms. Gong's face, but also because he had some intention of trying to compete with a genuine Hollywood blockbuster. .

Otherwise, there is no need for him to stop it. The domestic film protection month plan proposed by the General Administration this year is enough to interfere with the release date of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in China.

Of course, the General Administration will not directly admit this kind of sincere protection plan, just like they will not disclose the censorship standards of movies.

However, under the threat of the terrible scissors of review, how many companies dare to disobey and can they do so?

That is to say, Grand Master Gong Chang really wants to take the opportunity to compete with Hollywood blockbusters. In addition, the protection month is only one month after all, so he cannot stop "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" for too long. It is better to leave a little fragrance with the beauty of Chéng Ren... …

In short, the luck behind "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" being able to premiere simultaneously on both sides of the Pacific during this time period is not small.

Although Gong Chang Guoshi intends to compete with Hollywood blockbusters, he is not going to rush into it all at once. The release date of "House of Flying Daggers" is slightly half a month later than that of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". During this staggered time, according to Gong Chang The understanding of the national master is enough for a big production to release the most ferocious power at the beginning.

However

I may be too optimistic!

When he saw the pirates unlocking the seal of the Ocean Goddess in the cinema, and the Goddess causing a storm in the sea and creating a terrifying whirlpool, Master Gong Chang had fully realized what a powerful opponent he had chosen.

The traditional strengths of the Hollywood film industry such as special effects are at their peak. Not to mention, the use of color tones is also very interesting. They are obviously a group of dirty pirates in a storm, but they can make people notice many details. And these details and characteristics are either related to the plot, or can highlight the characteristics of the characters...

Gongchang Guoshi, who is definitely a master in the use of color in movies, found that the pictures in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" may not be the kind of beautiful colors he admired. This is determined by the theme of the movie. After all, pirates...

However, the scenes in this movie are absolutely focused and majestic!

This is simply a subtle blend of colors and images without being overly revealing, yet it doesn't overwhelm the audience and affect the audience's enjoyment of the plot. It can be said that a good fighter has no illustrious military exploits...

There is no way, since Gong Chang Guoshi can have the title of "Guo Shi", he still knows very well what he is good at and what he is not good at.

He knew that he would not be able to make a movie that uses exquisite color and picture techniques in subtle details, deliberately conceals them, and fully serves to tell the story.

This is not only due to style, but also a difference in film concepts.

However, even so, he admitted that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" director Charlotte Booth's skills in this aspect are indeed superb.

However, Grand Master Gong Chang did not know that in a sense, Charlotte was actually cheating.
