At first, I just wanted to make money

Good thing, Shen Xudong said categorically.

"Whether a film is art or business, in the final analysis, it is up to the audience to decide. The audience has a demand to watch Hollywood blockbusters. We let go of the restrictions, and the audience is satisfied..."

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

Crude 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 those non-market factors.

It can only be a blessing for improving the overall production level of Chinese films and for producers who conform to the laws of film. 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 about "Killing Life" with Xu Dong, and he said to me at that time, 'Why don't you want to narrate normally, can't you shoot normally? That's cool'ah!"

"Killing", in terms of narrative structure, Guan Hu combined flashbacks and interludes to play it very well, and then...the audience would have no way to empathize.

The movie-watching experience is full of clouds and fog, and I can't understand it...

Then I gave a bad review!
Guan Hu spread his hands and said: "I regret it now, because "Killing Life" did encounter a situation where the audience's reaction was obscure...It didn't sell well...I later met Chen Xi from Tianmei and asked her if she edited according to Xudong's method, How much can it sell, she said, 'I can't guarantee if there are too many, it's still very easy for the box office to exceed [-] million'..."

"I want to say that commercial expression does not conflict with the expression of the film itself. My next film "Tiger Lie La" must follow the commercial narrative..."

……

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

'We have to learn from Hollywood. We directors are used to the director-centered system and go to preach to the audience, tell them our feelings, and get used to superiority. '

'We hope that the system will give us a more relaxed environment to make movies that we can make, which is very important...' something like that...

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

Shen Xudong was not happy: "Let me interrupt, the creativity of Hollywood is declining. Early Hollywood storytelling never cared whether foreigners could understand it or not, it was just for Americans.

It's just that the United States is the world's number one, so its movies can be distributed all over the world!
If you don’t understand his movies, you will understand, for example, "The Avengers", I don’t even know what Thor does, but I saw the movie and immediately understood Thor...”

"It's not that we Chinese filmmakers don't have the ability to tell stories, but that 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. Care about your real life."

"In the early years, the sixth generation of films could sell well in Europe, because they satisfied the curiosity-seeking desire 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 output is spillover, not Blindly cater to!"

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Since 06, Golden Harvest's movies have been trying to shoot the types that Southeast Asian audiences like. Later, we found that what they like has not changed, that is, action movies, especially those that hit foreigners. A cool action movie!"

"For example, this time "Thug in a Suit" will be released simultaneously in ten countries and regions in Southeast Asia. The plot is very simple, with a basic framework, and the rest is all drama..."

"According to your theory, a Hollywood blockbuster..."

"That's right, I think it will take ten years at most, and it may not take ten years before our audience will lose interest in Hollywood..."

……

The media in the audience were very excited, they knew that there would definitely be news where Shen Xudong was there!
Looking at it now, Shen Xudong's point of view is not surprising, but this is 2012.

Hollywood is the global film and television center, and the Chinese film market was crushed by Hollywood films in the first half of the year...

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

Contrary to public opinion?

Then, this discussion became a hot search...

A group of people on Weibo said "blind self-confidence" and "too narrow. 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 it is today. Hollywood movies, so it is very narrow to say that Hollywood belongs to the United States. It brings together film resources from all over the world to achieve itself, and it should belong to the world.You take Chinese films against the whole world, how can you win? '

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

Of course, this matter did not dominate the hot searches. On the one hand, the topics discussed were too small, and few people were particularly concerned about the development of movies. On the other hand... Andy Lau officially announced that he was happy with his daughter...

Everyone went over to follow the news!
……

In the hotel room, Chen Hao was browsing Weibo, and the whole network was discussing the news about Liu Dehua's birth...

After watching for a long time, she looked up at Shen Xudong who was eating watermelon while watching TV: "Is Andy Lau 51 this year?"

"...don't know...but I guess it should be at least fifty!"

Shen Xudong replied casually, and Chen Hao said with emotion: "It's amazing!"

"...What's the matter? Murk is 71 years old and still has two daughters. The technology is very advanced!"

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

"I'm going to be my ex-husband soon. I heard that the two are going through divorce procedures..."

"...Then should I continue dating Wendi Deng?"

Shen Xudong said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want, if you think she's a nice person, you can continue dating, if you don't think it'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, you look at her projects in China, Myspace failed to localize, and the movie "Snow Flower Secret Fan" is also useless." People are interested... I guess she won't be able to organize a new movie for the time being."

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

"The filming of "Wolverine 2" has started... Besides, you want to win an award, what "Wolverine"?"

Chen Hao lacked a worthy actress trophy - she had already won the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Golden Horse Best Actress, and she lacked an overseas award.

Fan Xiaopang has the best actress trophy at the Tokyo Film Festival.

Chen Hao also really wants one...
