My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

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

Everyone wrote down the news, but most of them didn't take it seriously.

In fact, most people felt that Ye Zhiqiu was probably too proud.

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

In simple terms, when they have "profit", they want to make "fame" as well. However, most of these people end up losing both fame and fortune.

Why don't you just make commercial films? Why bother with art films that are thankless?

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

Generally, this kind of question is used to "sell misery" for directors and actors.

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

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

However, Ye Zhiqiu's answer was somewhat unexpected.

"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, requiring multiple special effects teams to work together to complete, and the special effects part is also the part that takes the most time and energy in the film."

"The various monsters in the film, such as the protagonist Xiao Hu Ba, is a character made entirely of special effects, but for a fictional character to look like a real person, with life and soul, many technical difficulties must be overcome..."

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

The competition in the summer season is fierce, and all crews are making every effort to promote their films. There are many similar news, most of which are commercial boasts.

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

"Art film? What the hell?"

"I thought it was a comedy. Why would they make an art film?"

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

"To be honest, the person above is wrong. Wang Qiang made his debut by making art films, although he is not best known for that film."

"I don't know why, but I have no interest in the word 'art film'."

"Because in recent years, most of the art films in China are made under the pretext of 'art', with the creators' private goods, and some meaningless and deliberately obscure garbage, and then called art. The audience can't understand it because they don't know how to appreciate it..."

The next day, the promotion and release event of "Galaxy Battleship 2", the most popular film in this summer season.

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

"This time, "Galaxy Battleship 2" uses brand-new technology. The scenes of interstellar spaceships, space wars, and mecha battles are 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 will not disappoint all the audience..."

In front of the camera, Oliver Pierre, the director of "Galaxy Battleship 2", talked freely.

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

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

On the stage, when he heard the words "Chinese science fiction", Pierre's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled and shook his head.

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

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

"Or, 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 very difficult."

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

"Excellent scripts can make the film fascinating, advanced technology can present shocking visual effects, and imagination of the future is the definition of science fiction... But if I may be frank, there is no soil for science fiction to grow in China at present, and perhaps in another 20, the situation will be better. "

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

Because... what the other party said was true, and even the statement "China has no soil for science fiction" was said by domestic media before.

Two years ago, there was a movie in China that was called "the strongest science fiction movie in Chinese history", which attracted many fans to wait with great expectations, but it was disappointing after it was released.

That movie... how to say it, there is a universe, a spaceship, and a luxurious cast, but other than that, there is no trace of "science fiction".

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 movie is just for publicity...

So far, domestic "science fiction movies" have become a joke again.

"But, Mr. Pierre!" A reporter was dissatisfied and raised his hand and said: "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 the "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" produced by the "Shiguangzhiqiu" studio are very exciting, and the gap is not that big, right?”

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

At that moment, someone brought up a mobile phone and played clips of these two movies for him to watch.

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

“This is an animation. I can only say that these special effects look okay, but they are far from the level of science fiction films.”

“The special effects of science fiction movies rely on the powerful technical production of mature film industries, which are not comparable to the things these children watch.”

“Perhaps I was too conservative just now, let me correct it.”

“If your special effects only stay at this level, perhaps China’s science fiction film development will have to wait another 30 years.”
