Chinese films ultimately belong to Eastern culture, but Western values ​​are still popular around the world!

It's very difficult to achieve movie output!

Even Ang Lee's "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" was rejected. The reason is very simple. In addition to the incorrect political theme in the United States and conflicting with their values, it is more that Ang Lee's Eastern narrative techniques and the appreciation habits of Western audiences are still not in line with each other!

The movie is always filled with a subtle and secretive emotion, which is a kind of "silence is better than sound" that Easterners are very accustomed to. For Westerners, this emotion is unclear and depressing, and even incomprehensible to some Western audiences.

In fact, Chinese movies don’t need to go abroad at all!

We have the largest film market in the world. Those imported foreign films will be continuously improved to meet the viewing needs of domestic audiences. Start by installing a few lace supporting roles, slowly use Chinese actors to play the leading roles, and then develop them, the way of films will become oriental!

By then, many famous and powerful foreign directors and filmmakers would join Chinese movies one after another.

In the end, Chinese films became world films.

Just like Hollywood.

Why can Hollywood dominate the world?

Isn’t it because it has gathered the world’s top film talents?

Nolan and Gerich are all British directors, the three Mexican masters, Alfonso Caron, Guilmo del Toro and Arisandro Gonzalez Inarido, they are Mexicans!

Even the once powerful Hong Kong movies can only show off in Asia...

It is not realistic to expect Chinese films to achieve cultural output in a short period of time, or to catch up with Hollywood...

...

"Any movie that conflicts with culture and values ​​will be treated with box office coldly, which is normal! Why is no one studying the box office of our movies in the North American market?

Xu Hui then asked back.

“…So do you think the director should still know more about the audience?”

"Yes, only by understanding the audience's ideas can the audience support your works... I'm talking about commercial films, and art films are not included!"

Suddenly I thought that the boss Chen Kai was sitting next to me!

Director Chen is more concerned about his own ideas when filming, first establishes his own logic and philosophy, and then stuffs stories into it...

This runs exactly the opposite of market-oriented movies!

This is also the main reason why he has become increasingly disapproved by the market in recent years!

"…I have said before that movies are divided into two types, good-looking and bad-looking. At that time, I was quite arrogant, and now I take back this sentence."

“Are there any new perspectives?”

Brother Chen Kai became interested and asked.

"I now think that movies are all personal expressions of directors. When what you want to express happens to fit the market and win the audience, your movie is a good movie!"

Old Chen opened his mouth slightly and said nothing.

"We all know that two directors representing different eras, Director Chen, do you think the characteristics of directors like Xu Hui?"

The host changed the topic and threw the questions to Brother Chen Kai.

The latter didn't think about it and directly praised: "The world belongs to you and ours, but in the final analysis it is yours! Chinese films are becoming more and more prosperous now, and the market is getting bigger and bigger. A group of young filmmakers like Xu Hui have appeared. They are very popular among audiences, and I think it's very good!"

"I have represented the Chinese film industry and participated in the Cannes Film Festival many times. I have also been nominated for the Palme d'Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. But I always feel that as a film director, I have not done enough. I always need to learn from the times, from later generations, and from young friends!"

"In fact, today, movies have undergone fundamental changes. In my opinion, the era of movies has passed, and movies have unfolded the visual era. In this visual era, movies have to some extent changed from once sacred art to instant commercial consumption, and have become a well-known entertainment method!"

"We used to say so devoutly that today this building is like a church, saying that movies are invisible churches for humans, we pray here, we see clearly here, we find here!"

"These functions have basically disappeared in today's movies. What I say here does not mean that I am against such a trend. This is the general trend of the times, and this is not a reality that can be changed by personal power."

"I always believe that a new era of movies will come, and that an era of movies will be partly entertainment and partly spiritual products will come before us. This is exactly what I expect!"

Xu Hui was stunned!

Brother Chen Kai is here with preparation!

How do you remember such a long line?

"Then Director Xu Hui, what do you think?"

"I think it may have something to do with the times. Great movies must be connected with the times it is in. Now it is a second-rate era. Everyone is struggling hard to not degenerate into a third-rate director! I always feel that in terms of directors, I am just a second-rate guy. Maybe my things are in line with this era. Even if I give them to Zhang Guorong, I can't make "Farewell My Concubine"!"

Xu Hui's answer was very humble.

In fact, he had some opinions about Chen Kai. He wanted to cheat investors to death. He said that no one in China would dare to say that no one in the first place!

Brother Chen Kai said to the entertainment reporter: "I don't accept interviews from journalists under the age of 40, so I have no choice but to talk to them."

When "Mei Lanfang" came out, he said that he would surpass "Farewell My Concubine"...

It seems that people in Beijing are all very good at making noises!

His directorial skills are not good, but unfortunately, his vision is really not good!

Creation has rise and fall, and there are many people who experience the same age, but none of them have fallen for a long time.

Zhang Yimou also experienced "Three Guns", "The Flowers of War" and "Return" got back 10%!

But what about Lao Chen?

After "Farewell My Concubine", there is no other excellent work!

He even made movies like "The Promise" and "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"...

The world is intoxicated by the eyes, and I am willing to go to the depravity...

...

On July 8, "Search" will be released.

Like Brother Chen Kai and Chen Hong and his wife were a little nervous and different with expectations. This was the first time Xu Hui was in a relaxed mood when his movie was released!

"Search" sells well. Except for his most loyal fans, no one will attribute the credit to him. If the sales are not sold, no one will say that his acting skills are too bad.

Because, "Search" is ultimately the work of Brother Chen Kai!

From beginning to end, Xu Hui did not express any opinions about the movie. All he did was a fixed obligation of an actor!

I occasionally help brag about the movies and praise Director Chen.
Chapter completed!
