Chapter 139 Interview

Bai Gewu was interviewed when "Taiping Wheel: The First" was released and said that he made this movie to tell everyone that Chinese movies are not just urban romance movies!

He was right, but if Sister Bai, who was in charge of the interview at the time, asked, "Director Wu, how long has it been since you watched a movie?", the comedy effect may be more outstanding!

Who told you that there is only urban romance movie in Chinese?

He is still living in the era when Feng Xiaogang dominates the mainland movies!

The failure of "The Wheel of Taiping" once again proves that the director with the halo of a great director is really not as good as some new directors, and it makes mainland investors understand one truth. It is best not to pay for big investments casually, as it is really possible to lose all your money!

Joshua guaranteed a 600 million yuan guarantee and performed "Taiping Wheel". Ceo, who lost directly to the top, was dismissed.

Some people actually say that the lower part is so good, why not do a good job of publicity?

Damn it! Xuan doesn’t want money?

If the audience doesn't buy it, they will lose more!

Even with Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye-kyo, Nagasawa Masami, Kim Sung-woo, and Tong Dawei, the top actors from China, Japan and South Korea, the plot is too bad and the box office will still not be too prosperous!

Since then, there has really been no movie in China that dares to join so many first-line celebrities.

No, there was a movie in 2016, "The Legend of the Gods", a peerless and bad movie!

Some time ago, Shen Lin and Ying Bao returned from Thailand. A group of reporters surrounded him and asked him about his opinion on the box office failure of "Taiping Wheel".

After all, "The Peace Wheel" had been released for a week at that time, and the box office defeat was predictable!

Even if you hire countless navy troops to win five stars on professional film websites such as Douban and Time, you will be able to whitewash them, and you will not change the absolute fact that your reputation is very bad!

"Director Shen Lin, I want to congratulate you first..."

"Congratulations? What's there to congratulate?"

Shen Lin looked at the reporter with the four big words "Southern Weekend" written on the breastplate in front of him, and couldn't help but become alert and his mind was running fast.

"Director Zhang's "International Market" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Director Zhang Yimou was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director!"

"Is that true? Then you should congratulate Director Zhang, why are you congratulating me?"

Shen Lin was a little confused.

"Does this prove that the Golden Horse Awards have a shallow vision?"

So I'm waiting here!

"The judges are different, everyone has different aesthetics. I am always full of respect for Golden Horse. After all, it is the oldest one in the Chinese Film Festival. Besides, "The Daylight Fireworks" that won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival was not valued by Golden Horse!"

Shen Lin wisely chose not to speak up, but instead moved to the Acura Golden Horse Awards.

"…Director Shen, the new work "Taiping Wheel" directed by Wu Yusen recently was released, and the market performed poorly. What do you think about this?"

Shen Lin clearly saw the reporter rolling his eyes!

I guess I was thinking, who are you fooling?

"I have a rough idea of ​​"Taiping Wheel". Such a large investment and box office is in a downturn. If director Wu Baige has no responsibility at all, it is impossible to say that with an investment of 400 million yuan, the total box office of the two upper and lower films can only be restored if the total box office of the upper and lower films exceeds 1.1 billion yuan! But now the upper film has a maximum box office of 200 million yuan. If I leave it here, even if the lower film has a good reputation, the box office will not improve any better!"

Shen Lin thought for a while and continued: "In fact, there are two movies with high expectations this year that have bad box office. "Taiping Wheel" and "Golden Age". It happened that the two directors made the same mistake and used niche stories to target the mass market, and their positioning was biased. On the one hand, the two directors wanted to maintain a literary style, and on the other hand, they wanted to cater to the market. In this way, the box office and reputation would not have good results!"

"But many analysts believe that the main reason for the box office failure of "Taiping Wheel" is that the topics in the domestic market are now controlled by people like 8o and 9o, and young people have no resonance. "Taiping Wheel" is too heavy, and there is also a historical barrier for young people."

Nandu has always turned his butt outward, which is an indisputable fact. From the bottom of their hearts, they feel that the West is more civilized!

In their opinion, Wu Baige's box office failure was due to the market reasons!

"Why is the box office of "International Market" and "Return" good? My "Interstellar" has also not bad. Is the topic of these three movies not heavy? The director will blame the market if he doesn't have the ability! What logic do you have?"

"You mean, director Wu Yusen is a little out of standard?"

"It should be said that Director Wu is not suitable for filming blockbusters. Whether it is "The Wind Whisperer" or "Red Cliff", it all explains this. Moreover, in recent years, the film industry has been exaggerated. Many Wu-style violent aesthetics have been applied to movies by a large number of directors, and his characteristics are no longer so eye-catching. So, when I heard that he was going to film "1949", which is the project "Taiping Wheel", the first reaction in my mind was that Director Wu was going to mess up!"

"Thank you Director Shen for accepting our interview. Can you say a few words about the movies you are making now?"

"There is nothing to say, it's just a movie adapted from real people and facts. Don't you all know it! The main theme movie is just!"

Shen Lin couldn't help rolling his eyes. When he announced that "Operation Mekong" was filming, many media raised questions, saying that Shen Lin was finally going to D's embrace!

“…So what do you expect from the box office?”

"No expectation, anyway, the movie I made will never lose money!"

"Okay, I wish you a big box office!"

The reporter of "Southern Weekend" withdrew and had already figured out the title: "Shen Lin expressed his arrogant statement that he would win the market better than Wu Yusen"

Then, a new generation was a reporter from Du Niang News: "Hello, Director Shen, I heard you analyze so much just now. Who do you think will be the big winner of the New Year holiday this year?"

He is a soft girl, and her tone is slim and nice.

"It must be "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" and "Soon of the Year". Director Tsui Hark is now getting more and more aware of the domestic market. I am looking forward to what he can make this red movie. As for "Soon of the Year", the movie produced by my Daguang is one that only focuses on box office revenue..."

"Why is there no "One Step Away" directed by Jiang Wen?"

The girl didn't know much about it, so she asked.

"Why don't you ask "Zhong Kui Fu Mo Xue Demon Spirit"?"

Shen Lin did not answer directly, but asked a question.

"How can that be the same? "One Step Away" is a work that director Jiang Wen has worked hard for three years!"

"I know Director Jiang Wen so well. He... Forget it, you can watch it yourself when the time comes, I'm not very optimistic anyway!"

Many people say, "One Step Away" is a bad movie worth five stars!"

'Jiang Wen is indeed a great director of this era!'

‘Black and white images, pseudo-record editing, this is Jiang Wen’s "Hugo". This film does not seek to appreciate the face, but seek to learn from the soulmate!’

Nonsense! It seems that you know Jiang Wen very well!

I said before the release that I would get a box office of 200 million!
Chapter completed!
