my time as a director

"You can't say that, the audience is also a victim." Li Qian shook his head, disagreeing with the idea of ​​throwing the blame on the audience.

"In the final analysis, there are still too many bad movies. If you watch too many bad movies, your acceptance will gradually decline, and your appreciation level will be lowered by the bad movies. Therefore, we should make more good movies. If you watch more good movies, your taste will naturally change. I can't stand watching bad movies."

"It's not that simple. We won't be able to make many movies." Xu Zheng was pessimistic. With just such a few people, they may not make a movie in two or three years, and it will not affect the entire market at all.

Li Qian said with a smile, "There are quite a few directors with a bottom line. Don't be so pessimistic. Just be yourself and stick to your heart. Why don't you come and listen to Lao Guo's sci-fi blockbuster? It's been over two years."

I didn't continue this topic, and it's fine to express myself occasionally, and it's meaningless to talk too much.

They are just directors, at most they are like Guo Fan, and there are some second-year-olds who focus on revitalizing domestic sci-fi movies.

Ending this somewhat heavy topic, let's talk about Guo Fan's masterpiece with great interest.

"Old Guo, I heard from Director Li that you went to Hollywood to study to shoot real hard science fiction. What kind of subject is it?"

"I plan to adapt Da Liu's "The Wandering Earth". I thought about it before I went to Hollywood. In the past two years, apart from studying in the crew and special effects company, I was also conceiving the script and drawing some concept drawings."

Guo Fan was also very excited when talking about the film he had carefully prepared. He took out a thick stack of manuscript paper from his bag and shared some with each of them.

"Look at it."

Everyone took over conceptual drawings of the movie from Guo Fan, including suspended excavators, heavy off-road vehicles, huge planetary engines, the abandoned Beijing International Trade Center frozen into ice sculptures, missile launchers and sci-fi driving cars. cabin......

The concept map full of heavy industrial aesthetic style gave everyone a huge impact. Ning Hao couldn't help sighing after seeing it twice, "This is a science fiction movie!"

There is no serious sci-fi in China, such as "Robot Man", and "Moon" is not a sci-fi blockbuster. Everyone is a young director, and there is no one who doesn't like sci-fi.

After a long time, he put down the manuscript and admired Guo Fan.

"I feel that this is a bit different from the style of Hollywood sci-fi films, but this feeling and impact are stronger than many sci-fi films." Wu Jing asked.

While flipping through the script of "The Wandering Earth", Li Qian said, "This is the aesthetic style of Sulian Heavy Industry."

Wu Jing was stunned, no wonder it looked different from Hollywood sci-fi movies, and asked, "Sulian Heavy Industry aesthetics? Didn't you go to Hollywood to learn, why not use Hollywood style?"

"Because I want to find the future path of Chinese science fiction films, I decided after thinking for a long time." Guo Fan explained.

"The future path of Chinese science fiction films?"

Such an important sentence made everyone ponder over it carefully. Guo Fan is not only trying to be a pioneer of Chinese science fiction, but also to blaze his own path for Chinese science fiction.

Guo Fan went on to explain his thoughts, "If I want to find the right aesthetics, all I can think of is the things of Sulian, the things of Sulian's heavy industry, which are related to us. It’s knowing, it’s feeling familiar.

This is also the unity of Bolshevik aesthetics. At the beginning of the last century, Sulian wanted to create a new aesthetic to resist the harassing influence from the bourgeoisie and prevent it from corrupting socialist art.

Among all the arts, architecture is the only permanent, gigantic symbol displayed in public. It can be said that architecture is the public expression of art.

After Stelin came to power in the late 20s, architecture was increasingly called upon to reinforce the Soviet discourse and collective identity across the field, with monuments, industrial motifs, and a close fusion of classicism and modernism becoming the hallmarks of Soviet architecture The core of the project.

These styles, along with Su Lian’s assistance in the construction of hundreds of construction projects in my country, have been preserved in China and have been used in major cities until today, and most of them are collective housing and new villages for workers.

In "The Wandering Earth", in the face of the extreme environment and the 100-generation wandering plan, human beings all over the world must unite. The underground cities are like new worker villages that occupy a huge area and tens of thousands of people live collectively. Eating and living together, going to school and celebrating the New Year together form a community of destiny, which also coincides with the selection of Sulian aesthetics as the basic setting.

Many places, including the loading vehicle, are all Soviet-style. This planetary engine is also designed by me based on the abandoned Bulgarian public headquarters..."

Seeing Guo Fan excitedly expressing his thoughts and the deep meaning in it, I was just feeling the sci-fi feel of the concept map before, but after listening to his thoughts, I realized that there are so many deep meanings in it.

"This is the sci-fi movie of our country!"

Chapter 485 "The Wandering Earth" sets sail

As December is coming to an end, the 12 Lunar New Year file is also coming to an end.

However, the popularity of the Lunar New Year stalls has not decreased in the slightest. Whether it is "One Step Away", which hit the market, or "Rejuvenation", which continues to harvest box office, the popularity on the Internet continues to remain high.

However, the former is due to controversy and complaints, as well as the scolding battle between Xiao Wang and the producer, while the latter depends entirely on the film itself.

In the fourth week of its release, "Rejuvenation" still won 33 billion in a single week, and the total box office came to 2629 billion, continuing to expand the box office record in the mainland market.

However, "One Step Away", which fell as much as 70% on the first working day, only earned 12 billion in the second week, with a total box office of 459 billion.

More than 11 million in 4 days, the box office doesn't look too bad, but it can be said that "Let the Bullets Fly" pushed Jiang Wen as high as "One Step Away" made him fall hard, at least it has been completely consumed It lost its credibility in the hearts of ordinary audiences.

Jiang Wen didn't throw the blame on the audience like Ma Xiaogang did, nor did he express his feelings in front of the public, probably he had a premonition.

This week just happened to be Christmas, and Gu Changwei's new film "Micro Love: Getting Better" was released. The title of the film can also be called "Love in the Age of WeChat".

Starring Chen He and Yang Ying, the box office was very good, selling 15 billion in five days.

The great director abandoned the themes of historical and social events that made him famous in the past, and made this commercial film that he thought would be a hit.

A pot of hodgepodge, all kinds of jokes, Internet buzzwords, seem to be close to the audience, but behind it is the same old, shattered literary dream.

In fact, looking at the title and the two leading actors, one can imagine what kind of movie it is.

There was another fun thing at the premiere, the main creators were playing games, Zhang Luyi got the princess holding Yang Ying, but Huang Xiaoming also came to cheer his wife on, right there.

So Zhang Luyi was discouraged, and finally Huang Zhonglei completed the game instead of him, and hugged Yang Ying, because the position of the hands and the dress had no shoulders? It almost slipped off and disappeared.

So? All kinds of unspoken rules and chest attack news came out, which was even more popular than the news about the premiere.

All kinds of ridicule from netizens? Huang Zhonglei also responded? Said it was just a game, and Huang Xiaoming had no objection.

It means you netizens stop making noises? It's none of your business, just eat carrots and don't worry about it.

Netizens just joked about it? Fan Binbin in his early years has more intimate photos than this one? It's no surprise for a long time.

"Little Love" had a good box office, but it was scolded as soon as it was released. Gu Changwei, a great director, also fell.

Other than that? There are no other movies at the end of the month? Just the suspenseful spy film "Ace" starring Lin Zhiling, which was promoted as "The Wind" and "Men Can't Be Poor" but it should be called "Man Can't Be Ugly" romance film.

The New Year's Day holiday has passed, and in the past week, "Rejuvenation" still won a box office of 15 billion.

The sixth week? It fell below 6000 million in a single week and only got 2839 million? The total box office was [-] billion

It's been 20 days since it was released, so it's time to start painting soon? And a lot of new films such as "Night at the Museum", "The Hobbit", "Back to [-]" and so on will also be released.

Also, "The Grandmaster" had a 3D re-screening, and the box office was still very good? It sold 6000 million in ten days.

Huayang Media also converted "Kung Fu" ten years ago into a 3D re-screening? It is called an all-round conscience transformation? Playing a wave of nostalgia, it is probably a 2012D re-screening of "Titanic" and "3". The box office is jealous.

However, the box office was far behind. Although it got close to 1000 million on the first day, it only got more than 700 million in the remaining three days of the first weekend.

Fortunately, the box office is low, and even the conversion cost and publicity fee cannot be recovered. Otherwise, if it sells for tens of millions or nearly 3 million like "The Grandmaster", it is estimated that there will be a lot of [-]D reset old movies on the market next year. up.

Beginning in January, it has been a battleground for many Hollywood blockbusters, and "Rejuvenation" finally sold out with a box office of more than 28 billion, making way for the new film.

This figure has completely exceeded the previous industry expectation of 20 billion, although this expectation is already bold enough.
