Chapter 858 Not Many People Are Interested in Your Culture (34)

Good thing, Shen Xudong said firmly.

"Whether a movie is an art or a commerce, in the final analysis, it is up to the audience to decide. The audience has a need to watch Hollywood blockbusters. We have relaxed restrictions and the audience has been satisfied..."

"From the perspective of Chinese films, it is also a good thing. Expanding the quota of imported Hollywood films will be a good stimulus for Chinese film creation.

Shoddy domestic films will be brutally eliminated, and those domestic productions that have the opportunity to enter the market will pay more attention to the film itself rather than the operation of non-market factors.

It can only be a blessing for improving the overall production level of Chinese films and for producers who comply with film laws. Although Chinese films may suffer temporarily, it will be a good thing in the long run. "

"I think it's a good thing too!"

Guan Hu answered: "I talked to Xudong about "Killing", and he said to me at the time, 'Why don't you want to narrate normally? Can't you shoot normally?'... I didn't think so at the time, and even retorted, 'Don't you think so? That’s cool!”

In terms of the narrative structure of "Killing Life", Guan Hu used a combination of flashbacks and interjections, which was very unique, and then... the audience was unable to empathize.

The movie-watching experience is a bit confusing and confusing...

Then I gave a bad review!

Guan Hu spread his hands and said: "I regret it now, because "Killing" did encounter a situation where the audience's response was obscure...it didn't sell well...I later met Tianmei's Chen Xi and asked her if she edited it according to Xudong's method, She said, 'I can't guarantee how much it will sell, but it will be easy to achieve a box office of over 100 million'..."

"I would like to say that commercial expression actually does not conflict with the expression of the film itself. My next film, Tigerla, will definitely follow the commercial narrative..."

…

In an industry forum, everyone must speak. Lu Chuan, Zhang Yuan, and Qin Hong all talked about a lot of commonplace topics.

‘We need to learn from Hollywood. We directors are used to the director-centered system and preaching to the audience, telling them our feelings, and we are used to superiority. ’

‘We hope that the system will give us a more relaxed environment to make movies that we can make. This is very important...’ and the like...

Then He Ping made a concluding speech: "Hollywood blockbusters are popular all over the world. A very important reason is that Hollywood filmmakers have the ability to tell stories to audiences around the world..."

Shen Xudong was unhappy: "Let me interrupt, the creativity of Hollywood is declining. In the early days, Hollywood storytelling never cared whether foreigners could understand it or not. It was told to Americans.

It’s just that the United States is the first in the world, so its movies can be distributed around the world!

Even if you can’t understand his movies, you will have to understand them. For example, in "Avengers", I didn’t even know what Thor did, but I watched the movie and immediately understood Thor..."

"It's not that we Chinese filmmakers don't have the ability to tell stories, but foreigners often don't want to watch it, because you are a weak nation and I don't care about your stuff, or I care about the novelty part, no. Care about your real life.”

"In the early years, sixth-generation movies were popular in Europe because they satisfied the curiosity of European audiences. But now European audiences are tired of watching them and they don't care anymore, so they can't be sold!"

"I think it is enough for us to learn from Hollywood and learn from their industrialization. The root of this problem is not whether we want to tell stories to the world, but whether the world is willing to listen to our stories... The so-called cultural export is spillover, not Just catering!"

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Since 2006, Golden Harvest's movies have been working hard to shoot the genres that Southeast Asian audiences like. Later, we found that what they like has never changed, which are action movies, especially foreigners. A great action movie!”

"For example, this time "Thugs in Suits" was released simultaneously in ten countries and regions in Southeast Asia. The plot is very simple, with a basic framework, and the rest is all fighting scenes..."

"According to your theory, Hollywood blockbusters..."

"Yes, I think it may not take more than ten years at most, but our audience will lose interest in Hollywood..."

…

The media in the audience were very excited, knowing that wherever Shen Xudong was there, there would definitely be news!

From a current perspective, Shen Xudong's views are not surprising, but this was 2012.

Hollywood is the center of global film and television. The Chinese film market was completely defeated by Hollywood films in the first half of the year...

Shen Xudong actually said that "Hollywood's storytelling ability is declining" and "It's not that Chinese filmmakers don't have the ability to tell stories!" ’

Go against public opinion?

Then, this discussion became a hot search...

A group of people on Weibo said they were "blindly confident" and "too narrow-minded. Hollywood itself belongs to the world. Hollywood's mature film industry has attracted directors, screenwriters and actors from all over the world. Many directors and actors have worked hard in it, and we have become what we are today." Hollywood movies, so it is very narrow to say that Hollywood belongs to the United States. It has gathered global film resources to achieve its own success, and it should belong to the world. If you pit Chinese films against the world, how can you win? ’

Even many celebrities came to join in the fun...

Of course, this matter did not dominate the hot search. On the one hand, the things discussed were too niche, and few people were particularly concerned about the development of the film. On the other hand... Andy Lau officially announced that he was pregnant with a daughter...

Everyone went over to follow the news!

…

In the hotel room, Chen Hao was scrolling through Weibo, and the whole network was discussing the news that Liu Dehua gave birth to a baby...

After watching for a while, she looked up at Shen Xudong, who was eating watermelon and watching TV: "Liu Dehua is 51 this year, right?"

"...I don't know...but I guess he's at least fifty!"

Shen Xudong replied casually, and Chen Hao sighed: "It's amazing!"

"...What does this mean? Murdoch can still have two daughters at the age of 71. Technology is very advanced!"

"Merkedo...you mean Wendi Deng's husband?"

"I will be my ex-husband soon. I heard that the two of them are going through divorce procedures..."

"...Then should I continue to date Wendi Deng?"

Shen Xudong said nonchalantly: "It's up to you. If you think she's a nice person, just keep dating her. If you don't think she's interesting, forget it!"

Chen Haoman was surprised: "Huh?"

Shen Xudong said seriously: "I told you from the beginning, don't take her too seriously. This person has no ability. Take a look at her projects in China. The localization of Myspace failed, and the movie "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" also failed. People are interested... I guess she won’t be able to assemble a new movie for the time being.”

"...She told me before that she invited me to audition for "King Kong 2"..."

"The filming of "The Wolverine 2" has already started... Besides, if you want to win an award, which "Wolverine" will you play?"

Chen Hao lacks a significant Best Actress trophy - she has already won the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Golden Horse Best Actress awards, but lacks an overseas award.

Fan Xiaopang has the Tokyo Film Festival Best Actress trophy.

Chen Hao also really wants one...
