Disaster Artist

"Director Wei Che, do you think movies can still thrive without streaming?"

"certainly."

Again and again, the answer that hit the wall, but because it was too firm and decisive, it didn't feel real. Even Wei Che felt a little guilty after he finished speaking—

Not because he didn't believe his answer, but because he hadn't really thought about it.

So, under Lu Qian's gaze, Wei Che's eyebrows were completely knotted and twisted together, maintaining a poker face, refusing to show his timidity, stubbornly pinching his neck, his hands folded on his chest, and posing a defensive stance, a bit of anger.

Lu Qian did not ridicule Wei Che's naivety.

Because from this point of view, Lu Qian and Wei Che have always maintained a pure and simple enthusiasm, so not only did they not sneer, but they still maintained patience.

After all, Wei Che didn't flip the table and turn away, nor did he yell and cut off the conversation, which meant that their communication was still going on.

This is a good thing.

"Director Wei Che, in fact, before the rise of streaming media, the film has already shown its decline. The context of the entire era is traceable."

"The comprehensive rise of the Internet has made people's life rhythm faster, more impetuous and more anxious, and less and less time to calm down and examine a thing."

"Before, there was no leisure and entertainment. We could sit at home and spend an afternoon in silence just to read a tome; but now, fewer and fewer people are willing to do so."

"First, there are more and more entertainment methods, dazzling and overwhelmed; second, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and it has been pushed forward by the torrent before it has time to savor it carefully; third, the sea of ​​information is getting more and more turbulent, every day The information that needs to be digested every day is too large and too complex.”

"Under various reasons, simple, fast and light things are filling the corners of life."

"In fact, people's lives have become increasingly fragmented, simplified and entertained. This is an overall trend."

Wei Che was a little surprised.

Because the scene that Lu Qian outlined in just a few words is really too grand and vast, taking one project as the starting point to spy on the entire era?

This…

Is this too loud?

But Wei Che did not reject it.

Anyone else remember "community"?

"Community" focuses on the overall rise of social networks. In fact, Wei Che has captured a key point in the film, that interests come first, which has become the core of society.

Therefore, the movie has a very famous propaganda slogan, "You need to make some enemies to get 500 million friends."

Wei Che has accurately grasped the context of the times, and now, in Lu Qian's words, he has gone a step further and spy on the bubbles behind the entire Internet age.

The point is that Wei Che understands that Lu Qian is right.

"The full rise of superhero movies is one aspect of the miniature of the times, not all, but some of its influences can indeed be seen."

"People, running away from movies."

"Watching superhero movies is a form of entertainment, a release, a way of escapism, so they don't care if superhero movies are becoming a shoddy theme park."

"Don't forget that theme parks are still a favorite for countless families."

"The decline of movies is not because of streaming, but because people are impatient enough to spend two hours watching a movie, and this movie may also require thinking and brains, which may kill them."

With a little ridicule, the corner of Lu Qian's mouth rose lightly.

Wei Che couldn't smile.

Because what Lu Qian said was not just "community", it was actually mentioned as early as 30 years ago, that is, scientists and sociologists have been worried since the popularization of computers and the rapid development of science and technology.

On the one hand, there is the fear of artificial intelligence.

On the one hand, there is the fear that humans are too dependent on intelligence.

then.

In science fiction movies, when people imagine the ultimate development of the future world, the image of human beings is often a bigger and bigger head and gradually shrinking limbs, because all aspects of life can be realized by intelligent robots, so that the physiological functions of human beings degenerate and complete Brand new evolution.

Human beings are becoming more and more lazy, filled with more and more convenient, simplified and intelligent things, thinking instead of themselves.

For example, writing, when the younger generation is used to computer keyboards and mobile phone text messages, handwriting becomes more and more rare, so that they forget how to write.

For example, in reading, after the full development of the Internet age, young people even gradually began to give up reading with their eyes and instead listen to words with their ears.

All of this is happening, although sociologists have been calling for people to stay awake, re-value those basic life skills that people take for granted, and avoid in the end, even breathing needs the help of machines, but the torrent of the times is rolling in And so whizzed by—

Those voices were swallowed up in an instant.

Does anyone care?

No.

Even, people will turn to those voices, "don't know how to adapt", "eliminated by the times" and so on.

So, is it the same with movies?

Lu Qian's words just caught a key point:

As a result, with the diversification of entertainment methods, the status of movies has been different.

Second, changes in lifestyles also change people's views on movies.

All of these have nothing to do with streaming media, but have always been the focus of discussion in the film industry. As Lu Qian said, it existed before the rise of streaming media.

"Entertainment to death" is a well-known phrase, and it is even becoming a part of life, but few people know that the earliest origin of this phrase is actually to discuss the rise of television. When thousands of homes and become a means of daily entertainment, concerns have already arisen.

"First Evolution"

In other words, entertaining to death is not a new reality under the dot-com bubble culture.

The existence of TV sets has already reached a hundred years. After that, the rapid rise of computers and the Internet, and the full prosperity of the film industry, have pushed the worries about TV "entertainment to death" to a whole new level step by step. Then, streaming media Came into being, in line with the trend of the times.

Perhaps, the "entertainment methods" they were once familiar with will also leave the stage of history. TV, movies, and even computers will be drowned in the dust of old papers like vulgar, sports magazines, and serious newspapers~www.wuxiaspot. com~ becomes the line of small print that people read when they look up information.

Wei Che knew everything about the truth, but he still couldn't accept it.

"So you mean, is streaming a product of the times?"

Lu Qian nodded very simply, "Yes."

Wetcher: …

Because it was too natural and too decisive, Wei Che was directly choked, and his anger rolled again—

Human beings are the best at deceiving themselves.

Even if things are right in front of you, you will selectively ignore them, and then still believe in the facts you want to believe, unless you wait for the real blowout.

Wei Che refused to believe it, and subconsciously, he wanted to deny, refute, and resist.
