My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Many reporters present were surprised to learn that Ye Zhiqiu's next film, "Hello! Mr. Tree," was actually an art film.

Many people took note of this news, but most of them did not take it seriously.

In fact, most people think that Ye Zhiqiu is probably too proud.

This is the psychological process of many directors. After making a few successful films, they enter a stage of "expansion" and feel that they can handle anything.

Simply put, once they have made profits, they want to gain fame as well. However, they do not know that the vast majority of such people end up losing both fortune and fame.

Why don't you just make commercial films instead of trying to make art films which are thankless?

The interview continued with a question about "What was the most difficult part when filming Monster Hunt?"

Generally, this kind of question is used by directors and actors to make them feel miserable.

For example, how dedicated a certain actor was during filming, how many times he fell down, how many times he was injured and hospitalized for filming, etc...

Anyway, just highlight the effort, buy a wave of hot searches, stir up the topic, and the true fans will feel distressed after seeing it, and then buy tickets and go to the cinema to "support"...

However, Ye Zhiqiu's answer was somewhat unexpected to everyone.

“I think the most difficult part of Monster Hunt is the special effects.”

Ye Zhiqiu explained: "The special effects of this movie are very complicated and require the cooperation of multiple special effects teams. The special effects are also the part that takes up the most time and effort in the film."

"The various monsters in the film, such as the protagonist Xiao Hu Ba, are a character created entirely by special effects. However, to make a fictional character look like a real person, with life and soul, many technical difficulties must be overcome..."

After the interview for the promotional event of "Monster Hunt" was released, it did not cause much response on the Internet.

The competition for the summer season is fierce, and each crew is making every effort to promote their films. There are many similar news, most of which are commercial boasting.

However, Ye Zhiqiu revealed that the film "Hello! Mr. Tree" he collaborated with Wang Qiang on was an art film, which caused some discussion among netizens.

"Art film? What the hell?"

"I thought it was a comedy. Why is it an art film?"

"Honestly speaking, it's hard to associate Wang Qiang with art films."

"Let me be honest. What the above person said is not true. Wang Qiang made his debut by making art films, although that film is not what the public knows him best."

"I don't know why, but when I hear the words 'art film' I lose interest."

"Because in recent years, most of the domestic art films are under the pretext of 'art', with the creators' personal opinions smuggled in, making some meaningless, deliberately obscure garbage, and then calling it art. The audience can't understand it because they don't know how to appreciate it..."

The next day, the promotional event for this summer's most popular movie, "Galaxy Battleship 2", was held.

As a typical Hollywood blockbuster, the biggest selling points of "Galaxy Battleship 2" are "science fiction" and "special effects production", as well as the shocking viewing experience brought to the audience by the grand scenes.

"This time, "Galaxy Battleship 2" uses brand-new technology. The scenes of interstellar spaceships, space wars, and mecha battles are even more exciting than the first one. The exquisite science fiction story content, with the blessing of the world's top special effects technology, I believe it will not disappoint all the audience..."

In front of the camera, Olivier Pierre, the director of "Battlestar 2", talked freely.

"Mr. Pierre, you are a world-renowned science fiction film director, and you have made excellent works such as "Moon Rescue", "Space Wars", and "Galaxy Battleship"."

"Excuse me, do you know anything about Chinese science fiction movies?"

On the stage, when Pierre heard the words "Chinese Science Fiction", the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled and shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't know much about Chinese science fiction movies. Maybe there are, but I haven't seen them in theaters, so I can't comment on them."

The reporter continued, "In the science fiction category, Chinese films did start relatively late, and there are not many works that are well-known internationally."

"Or, in other words, what do you think Chinese films should do if they want to make a breakthrough in this area?"

Hearing this, Pierre's eyes flashed with contempt, and he said, "To be honest, it's extremely difficult."

"The most important elements of science fiction movies are plot, technology and imagination of the future. These three core elements are indispensable."

"An excellent script can make a film fascinating, advanced technology can present stunning visual effects, and imagination of the future is the definition of science fiction... But with all due respect, there is no soil for the growth of science fiction in China at present. Perhaps in another 20 years, this situation will be better."

Pierre's words made many audience members and reporters feel depressed, but they could not refute it.

Because...what the other party said is true. Even the statement "China has no soil for science fiction" has been said by domestic media before.

Two years ago, there was a movie in China that was known as "the strongest science fiction film in Chinese history". It attracted many movie fans who were waiting with great anticipation. However, it was a huge disappointment after it was released.

That film...how should I put it, it has the universe, spaceships, and a luxurious cast, but other than that, there is not even a trace of "science fiction" to be seen.

Some netizens found that removing these so-called elements has no effect on the understanding of the plot. Perhaps the biggest role of "science fiction" in this film is just for publicity...

At this point, domestic "science fiction movies" have once again become a joke.

"But, Mr. Pierre!" A reporter was dissatisfied and raised his hand, saying, "Let's not talk about other things. In terms of special effects, Chinese films have also produced several popular and excellent works and teams in recent years."

"For example, the special effects of 'Shiguangzhiqiu' studio, which produced 'The Return of the Great Sage' and 'Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World', are very impressive. The gap is not that big, right?"

Hearing this, Pierre asked curiously, "What are these two works?"

Immediately, someone came up with a mobile phone and played clips of the two movies for him.

As a result, Pierre took a look and laughed immediately.

"This is an animated film. All I can say is that the special effects look OK, but they are far from the level of science fiction films."

"The special effects of science fiction movies rely on the powerful technology of the mature film industry, which cannot be compared with what these children watch."

"Perhaps I was too conservative just now. Let me correct myself."

"If your special effects only stay at this level, maybe China's science fiction films will have to wait another 30 years."
