The male god in the interstellar entertainment circle is poisonous

"The Last Oasis" turned out like a monster.

All "rules" and "predictions" have failed here.

Looking at the results of the investigation, all kinds of people were dumbfounded, and then worked overtime to make reports, barely finding out the reason for the "abnormal" audience of this movie:

Qi Jingyan, the male god of all people, has a very wide audience. Just to see him walk into the theater, I don't know how many men, women and children, the most of them are the audience in their 80s and 50s who have watched him grow up.In addition, Mo Yixiao's audience is relatively young, and most of them are concentrated in the youth stage of 200 to [-] years old.The opposite is directed by Albert.Although this director has not been out of the mountain for more than ten years, many middle-aged and elderly people still miss him because of the several sensational movies he made in the last century. People in their teens and over [-] years old rushed to buy tickets.

This creates results that are very evenly distributed, with no discernible audience type.

And this kind of audience appeal also makes it rare for a literary film to create a momentum that is unmatched by commercial films on the star network, attracting audiences to watch one after another.

Gloomy star.

Luojia City.

There are many well-dressed men and women sitting in the movie viewing conference hall that can accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, they are all gazing intently at the screen hanging in the front that can perfectly reflect all colors without compromising the picture quality.

"This paragraph is really brilliant. Without a single line, just the changes in eyes and expressions can make people clearly distinguish that they are not the same personality."

"Indeed. This young actor is called Mo Yixiao, right? It's really amazing. His control over facial expressions has been perfected. Even a 200-plus old actor may not be better than him."

"This is probably talent... But I still appreciate Qi Jingyan's acting skills more. The part where he abused Mo Yixiao's character gave me goosebumps. The nervous feeling and tone seemed to be the crazy one." like a lunatic."

"But Mo Yixiao is more than ten years younger than Qi Jingyan. The film emperor Qi back then was nothing more than that, right? Looking at him, I seemed to see a young Qi Jingyan, rising all the way, so fast that us old guys can't react .”

"The actors are good, but the way this part is shot is terrible. Whether it's the background music or the camera angles. I thought I was watching an NC17 thriller! The sudden reversal has Ann Maier as the mastermind... Cheesy! It's just seeking to stimulate the audience, but it's obscene."

"It's a bit exaggerated to say that. This arrangement is reasonable. However, in terms of the layering of the whole film, it does seem weak. Fortunately, the acting skills of the two leading actors are strong enough, and there is no exaggerated content in it. It doesn't ruin the depth of the film."

"If I get these two actors, I definitely won't shoot like this... This kind of shooting method uses super-class actors as 'fast food actors' for blockbuster movies. If I were, I would definitely not let the role of Anmeier play anything Behind the scenes, this kind of gimmick completely weakens the integrity of the whole film."

"The first half is excellent, but the last part is obviously to make the audience buy it. Albert has always had this problem, and no matter how good the skills and ideas are, it will not save his style."

"But if they can sell well, what's the use of us saying that?"

……

Over two hours of film, these people exchanged in low voices while watching.Finally, when the ending song sounded and the meeting room was lit up again, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a suit jacket tightly stretched by a slightly protruding belly, stepped forward, said a few words, and then asked:

"...What do you guys think?"

There was a moment of silence below, then whispers and whispers.Some people nodded frequently, some frowned and remained silent, some chatted with the people next to them for a long time and then shook their heads while pondering...

"I don't think it's right." Someone finally retorted first, "Although the acting skills of the actors are commendable, from the perspective of the whole film, this is not an orthodox art film at all! The last ending can be called a continuation! And The suspense and horror intentionally added in the middle is just to cater to the taste of the audience. Opening with such a work, I am afraid that our entire film festival will drop in price."

Seeing someone speak, the echoing voice immediately became louder.

"Yes, this kind of film is only used to fool audiences who don't understand art films. How can we academics follow others' advice?"

"It's just exaggerated because the box office is relatively high. The quality of the movie itself is not that high. There are some remarkable things, but the overall effect is not enough."

"Compared to this film, "Suzaku" or "Jianjia" is better, and the entire cast is from Huaguo... Although our film festival is called an independent film festival, everyone regards our film festival as an independent film festival. The opening film is regarded as the outpost award for the best film of the 'Danqing Award'."

The Danqing Award, as we all know, is one of the five major awards for all interstellar movies. Although it is completely fair in theory, in practice, Huaguo's own movies will be given more favor.This is not considered biased, it can only be said that Huaguo, as the most powerful country in the interstellar world, is proud of its own culture.Which country does not want its own products to be the best?It's just that Hua Guo has the ability to make the "Danqing Award" the most authoritative film award, and other countries do not have this ability.Moreover, Huaguo's three major film awards, and the other two do not have any "hidden rules" of nationality, which is already interesting enough.

Now, what has aroused a group of people's debate is the "Golden Gear Film Festival", which opened ten days before the Dan Qing Awards. Movie.

The reputation of this film festival itself is of course far inferior to those of the major awards, but because more than half of its organizing committee overlaps with the Danqing Award organizing committee, and the time will be ten days earlier, most people will watch this film festival. Doing is the prelude to the Danqing Award.And the opening film of the annual film festival, that is, the film that wins the "Golden Gear Award", will most likely become the best film of the Danqing Award in the future.Therefore, the opening film selection of this film festival is usually regarded as the outpost award of Danqing Award.

But now, Li Shucheng, vice chairman of the organizing committee, proposed "The Last Oasis" as the opening film, half of the people agreed, while the other half didn't agree at all.

It has to be said that in the past few days since the film was released, "The Last Oasis" has achieved unimaginable achievements for a literary film.It may be an exaggeration to say that the box office is skyrocketing, but it is definitely worthy of being far ahead and leading the way.It's hard for other commercial films to reach this level - maybe blockbuster films like "Mechanical Thinking" and "Dragon Castle" can compare...

——But don't you look at how much people invested in "Mechanical Thinking"?Is the investment of around one billion yuan a joke?And "The Last Oasis"?An investment of [-] million yuan is not bad!

But as far as the current box office curve is similar... Hehe, that is to say, the return on investment of "The Last Oasis" is almost ten times that of "Mechanical Mind"!

At the beginning, Mo Yixiao's mechanical thinking made the eyes of many investors brighten up, but now this...

While the audience was still enthusiastically chanting, "One swipe to see the plot", "Two swipe to see the beauty", "Three swipe to see the boat show", the industry was already surging and all kinds of monsters and ghosts appeared.Sour, jealous, hating, regretting that I didn't invest in it back then, thinking about how to invest in the future, planning to persuade Director Albert not to accept the mountain and make another one quickly... all kinds of moths came out.

It is said that literary films are popular but not popular, and that actors film this for the purpose of getting awards, and they even have to pay for it. Do you still let others live like this?

In the "Golden Gear" organizing committee, most of the committee members are directors, and some are producers or investors. Most of these people are academics, and they are full of airs. That kind of, I can't wait to say "Why are literary films not popular? That's because this audience can't do it!".

From their point of view, any blockbuster movies about fighting and killing are all movies made by money worshipers to cater to the audience. They can't be called works, they can only be called commercial movies!Their art films are not like this. They must pursue philosophy, explore human nature, and have depth and thought.As for how to judge whether there is depth or thought...

How is light used?Can you tell me that your lens arrangement does not conform to our structure? …by the way, what does your audience look like?What? !Anyone can understand? !Anyone can understand is it still called art?That must not be called!

Director Albert is an outlier among directors of literary and artistic films, and has always been one of the very strange evaluations among his peers.

On the one hand, everyone has to admit his ability and status - he single-handedly pushed literary films to the ranks of "popular"; on the other hand...many directors of literary films are really unwilling to admit that the films he made are Literary films always feel unorthodox.

Some people may talk about theories and ideas, but their hearts are full of jealousy-why everyone makes low-cost literary films, and you go to the box office for tens of millions as soon as you get started. Why do I only have one hundred million? arrive? ...That must be because you are unorthodox!You cater to the audience!Your ideological realm is not enough!

So out of various considerations, when Li Shucheng proposed to use "The Last Oasis" as the opening movie, there were many voices of opposition.

"I think we should think about it again. Every year's 'Golden Gear' film represents our attitude. With such a nondescript film, the industry will laugh at us."

"Although many film critics now exaggerate this drama, but after all, they are all writing columns to gain popularity. We cannot be affected by this. This film is somewhat unorthodox. We have the same vision as those who write columns. Is this plausible?"

……

Li Shucheng almost laughed angrily, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "Our attitude? Including me, the vast majority of people here can't make the contribution of Director Albert. After hundreds of years, when it comes to movies, His status in history is not comparable, how can we say that his movies are neither fish nor fowl, unorthodox and not profound... Interesting, when will there be 'orthodox' movies?"

This is really blunt.The faces of a group of people who had just refuted his proposal turned red and their voices became louder.

"Director Li, what are you talking about? You mean that our group of people is not orthodox? Then why do you want us to choose, and just ask the vegetable sellers on the street to choose?"

"Although you have made several commercial films in the past two years, we thought you were born in an academy and had artistic pursuits. When did you become so..."

"Film history? Albert made a mark in film history only because he was famous, but it's hard to say from an ideological point of view. We don't mean to disrespect him, but it's people like him who pull the boundaries of literary and artistic films. It's getting blurry."

Some people even had more biased ideas, and even made random guesses:

"Director Li, I heard that you have a very good personal relationship with director Ling Jiabai. Director Ling is the mother of the protagonist Mo Yixiao in this movie, right? Tell me... your recommendation...is there something else..."

Li Shucheng was about to be overwhelmed by the anger of this gang, and slapped the table: "When did I say that I won't let you pursue depth? I recommend a movie only if there is some inside story?! You have a quick brain and a good mouth, I said But you guys, let me just ask a question—you don’t need to compare it with "The Last Oasis", but if you don’t count "Chang Gung" in the past ten years, which year did the opening movie’s box office exceed [-] million yuan, which caused a relatively wide discussion?"

Immediately, someone said again: "Don't just focus on the box office. It's too vulgar to mention the box office for everything."

"Vulgar?" Li Shucheng looked at the person below and almost fell down with anger, "What does the box office reflect? It's attention, it's the audience's preferences. I don't want to mention the box office, but what does it mean for a film without box office? It means that no one watches and no one likes it! I would like to pursue orthodoxy with everyone, but please take a look at the number of participants in our film week in the past few years. Except for us playing in the circle, the number of audiences is getting smaller and smaller. Still don't understand what that means?"

The others slowly became speechless.

"A movie that caters to the audience? A movie that doesn't cater to the audience is a good movie? You're talking about 'orthodox', 'theory', and 'depth'... Heh. The ones that were judged and awarded did not cater to the audience, but our group Committee. Is this more noble than catering to the audience? Catering to who is not catering, at least catering to the audience can expand the influence of the film.”

What he said is very serious, but he is the vice chairman here, and he is talking about the continuous decline in the attention of the movie week. The face is hot.

After Li Shucheng said this, he leaned back on the back of the chair, panting for a long time to calm down the anger in his chest, and after a long time to see if no one refuted, he sighed and asked again:

"Now do the first secret ballot on the optical brain, agree with "The Last Oasis" as the opening movie of this year's "Golden Gear" and press "Yes". If it passes two-thirds, it will pass. If not, we will continue to discuss... "
