Chapter 1127 The First Game Was Unpleasant (24)
Chapter 46 The first game was unpleasant (24)
This year’s Shanghai Film Festival was indeed quite deserted…
Compared with last year, there were still a lot of film list press conferences. Yueshi Pictures handed over 12 new film lists, including Zheng Xiaolong's "Turandot: The Origin of the Curse", Guo Jingming's "Grand Priest 2", Li Rengang's "Assassination Bureau"...
This should have been the largest film list since the opening of this year's Shanghai Film Festival.
It was then surpassed by Wanda's 36-film project list, of which 9 were TV series and 27 movies.
The completion rate of more than 200 films announced during the Shanghai Film Festival last year was only about 40% even including those in development.
Not only that, the prominent "Korean restriction order" has also seriously affected the completion rate of the Shanghai Film Festival's film list. More than 20 projects have encountered policy "difficulties"...
CJ E&M, which announced 15 projects at once last year, was the first to be affected.
The Sino-Korean co-productions "Safe Island" and "MasterChefs" that have been completed cannot be released. "Kung Fu Robot" and the Chinese version of "Longevity Chamber of Commerce" are no longer available. Only "Battleship Island" has been successfully completed. Can it be released in China? unknown…
"Shut Up!" is produced by Movie Channel. "Love Me", Huace Pictures' "I Love Cats", Ningmeng Pictures' "Dear Archimedes" and other completed projects cannot be released...
In fact, releasing the film list is a way to learn from Hollywood...
When Hollywood releases a film list, it usually announces its release a year in advance.
But in China, many projects often don’t even develop scripts. They just buy the IP and add it to the film list.
Every time I watch the release of the film list, I have an incomprehensible feeling. Chinese and foreign co-productions, big IP, big fantasy, top-notch production...
Of course, Hollywood often breaks appointments, and Zhang Ziyi encountered this several times. After "Memoirs of a Geisha", Zhang Ziyi's team officially announced 7 or 8 movies, but only one "Knight" was finally formed...
Tianmei Media announced the exact release times of "Detective Chinatown 3", "The Wandering Earth 2", "Total War: Mountains and Seas" and "Fengshen: Nezha" at the Shanghai Film Festival...
Well, just four movies...
Even "Walking Alone on the Moon" and the currently planned "Duan Nao" have not been announced!
After arriving in Shanghai, the first session was a science fiction movie special. Guo Fan took the stage first and carefully shared the production process of "The Wandering Earth"...
"We extracted the key words of "Traffic Earth": great special effects, shocking scenes, touching plot, and thoughtful production. These are the four words... But these four words represent 'on the basis of qualified production, we must have emotions with the audience. Resonance', therefore, Hollywood's science fiction blockbusters "Arrival" and "Blade Runner 2049" are not successful enough in China!"
"Because of the lack of emotional resonance, Marvel, Transformers, and many monster movies sell very well in China because they are popcorn movies!"
"For the production of "The Wandering Earth", we spent a full year and a half in pre-production, about half a year in filming, and a year and a half in post-production... The biggest problem during filming..."
Then I spent more than ten minutes talking about the industrialization and programming of "The Wandering Earth" - every link is transparent and the cost is fixed, which can directly drive away the bugs!
Zhang Chiyu also came on stage to share the creation of "Walking Alone on the Moon". He was also very serious... He elaborated on the creation and preparation. He also answered the questions in detail from the audience, and it was Teng Huatao's turn.
This guy's statement feels very false...
He boasted, "What effects does "Shanghai Fortress" require, and how awesome the special effects team is..."
There was no mention of the preliminary preparations and conceptual design of "Shanghai Fortress". When the audience asked questions, he was completely indifferent, arrogant and pretentious...
Shen Xudong interrupted him: "Director Teng, in the original work of "Shanghai Fortress", the character arcs have nothing to do with the science fiction setting. It is just a love story in a science fiction background. Excluding the science fiction, is Tesulu coming to the world outside or outside the world?" It doesn't matter whether the Starman launches a rail gun or Odin lifts Gungnir, because it's all about the male protagonist being protected by his schoolmates, and the male protagonist is protecting the schoolmates who don't need his protection... How to make this happen? So soft science fiction becomes hard science fiction. Did you design it during the script development stage?"
Teng Huatao was stunned for a while, and then said: ""Shanghai Fortress" has special effects, high technology, aircraft, warships, and aliens. How can it not be hard science fiction?"
Shen Xudong was stunned for a while, and then asked carefully: "No, do you know what hard science fiction is?"
"Of course I know!"
Shen Xudong glanced at him and then said: "Hard science fiction and soft science fiction are not complimentary or derogatory terms. They are just two words born under a classification method. Hard science fiction is called Hard Science Fiction. Hard science fiction focuses more on scientific elements. The authenticity, credibility, plasticity and possibility of science fiction, the core of its story background, facilities and plots are to emphasize the future based on the foreseeable progress of science. Soft science fiction, scientific elements are not the main focus, usually Taking some technological facilities that may exist in the future but have not been studied in detail, this type of work usually relies more on fantasy, uses very few scientific concepts, and combines it with a wide range of literary genres, such as thriller or romance... The main story of "Shanghai Fortress" is about love, not science..." After a pause, Shen Xudong asked again: "I have never understood why "Shanghai Fortress" keeps saying that it is hard science fiction when promoting it..."
“…”
Teng Huatao hesitated for a long time, unable to explain why...
Shen Xudong shook his head: "Many of us filmmakers don't even understand the basic concepts of science fiction, but we still want to make science fiction films? Do we spend so much money just to buy a lesson? I don't understand!"
…
From 1997 to now, Teng Huatao has done everything from directing, producing, and screenwriting, with 45 works...
The span ranges from ancient costumes to modern times, from romance to urban to reality shows, from movies to TV to variety shows.
We usually call this kind of person an all-rounder in the industry, but secretly we call him a ‘bastard’!
An old man who has been around for more than 20 years!
There is no denying that he still pursues art and movies, but this guy does everything. He has made both good and bad movies...
I don’t think he is still a pure filmmaker.
It's very likely that he uses money to do things.
I'm just a worker, and I earn a director's fee!
In addition, after the failure of "Shanghai Fortress", the director tried to blame the lead actor, but the public is not fools...
The script is so shabby, the shots are so blurry, and the special effects have a plasticky feel. Do you have to blame Lu Han for all this?
It’s true that he is the leading actor, but he is not the screenwriter, cinematographer, or director...
This crappy movie is crappy in all aspects, with no blind spots, from props to plot to performance to special effects. It’s crappy that you can find flaws in every frame, and it’s crappy that makes you happy in every detail. Your tirade extolling the badness of writing...
Did you use the wrong Lu Han?
You can't even find Wu Jing!
Ahem, bringing it back, Shen Xudong was very unhappy in the first scene. The theme of the second scene was ‘Creating Chinese Movies with the Spirit of Craftsman’. The guests were Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin, Liu Zhenyun and Dai Jinhua. Of course, Shen Xudong was also...
But before that, he needs to support the Belt and Road Film Week.
