Chapter 73 Best Picture
"China Film Report" has been committed to launching the latest celebrity information and interesting news on the set.
Of course, they are quite concerned about the major events of Xining First Youth Film Festival, but because the official has not yet made it clear whether it is support or objection, the previous "China Film Report" can only report roughly by inserting the text message.
This year is different. King of Sunglasses and Shen Lin serve as judges. The influence of these two people is conceivable. Therefore, it is reasonable that the central mother should also have an exclusive interview - although there is only about five minutes to show her face.
"So after watching these directors' debuts, do you have anything you want to say?"
"I first came to understand the level of young directors. I only realized after I arrived. These independent filmmakers still played the remaining tricks of the directors before. To be honest, I was quite disappointed."
Chen Lin shook his head and continued, "There are many new directors who want to show people that he is a director in their first work, so they all feel self-interested, add scraps to themselves, and then turn a story that was originally pretty good into four-dimensional! Why not do the most basic ones well?"
“The most basic?”
"Telling a complete story is the most basic requirement of the movie."
What’s ridiculous is that most professional directors across the country cannot do this!
"Is there no surprise?"
"I saw two pretty good movies, one called "August" and the other called "Happy Mourning"..."
"Can you talk specifically?"
"Forget it, I'm a judge after all, and I still have to abide by the rules I should abide by. Wait a few more days and when the results come out, let's have a good chat."
Chen Lin refused without thinking.
“What does it mean for you to attend this film festival?”
Li Mi probably wanted to be sensational, but unfortunately she found the wrong partner.
"…I think I'm quite stupid, put down my work and read a bunch of immature works that are fun for people."
Although the other party was already quite tactful, Li Mi was still uncomfortable and retorted: "But this represents the vitality and diversity of our Chinese films..."
“…”
"Director Chen, what do you want to say?"
"Haha, I said you can't play it!"
Chen Lin arranged the tea set in front of him, poured a cup for Li Mi, and also poured himself a cup.
"Let's talk about something that can be broadcast!"
Chen Lin took a sip of tea and took the initiative to rescue him.
"Then... let's talk about the film festival. Wang Jiawei serves as the chairman of this year's jury. How do you feel about him?"
"He has his own film philosophy. I can be said to be two kinds of people who are completely opposite to him. There are two types of directors who like to take their time when making movies. Few directors can spend so long in a movie. I can't do it. If I can't finish a project in a year, I will be so anxious that I can't sleep."
"What about the others? For example, Tang Wei?"
"I worked with her before and I'm a very good actor."
...
After July, the mainland film industry is still as soft as it looks like a bird.
In fact, although the box office of "Warcraft" released on June 8 exceeded 800 million in three days and one billion in five days, its momentum was really insufficient. As of early July, the cumulative box office of "Warcraft" which was released for almost 20 days was only less than 1.5 billion.
This is a monster that claims to have passed "Avatar"!
Negative growth is a prominent word that has begun to appear since the domestic film market entered the second quarter. For three consecutive months, domestic box office has seen negative growth!
However, the summer season has always been one of the fastest-growing periods of box office growth. If you can make good use of these two months, it is still possible to achieve the big goal of 500 million in box office.
As for the 600 million target estimated by some industry insiders, there is probably no hope!
Because the three Hollywood blockbusters of "Warcraft", "Independence Day 2" and "Shocking Demons 2" are concentrated in June, many domestic movies can only choose to avoid them. Adu is quite awesome, and he insists on "Independence Day 2" and "Shocking Demons 2" are released. He has taken over the reputation of the poor, and his box office almost failed to exceed 100 million!
Most of the movies that have been moved are selected to be released in July, including "Bounty Hunter", "Tennis Ninja Turtles 2: Break Out", "Cold War 2", "Dream-Realizing the Giant", "To Youth: So You Are Still Here", "Return of Tarzan", and "Escape from the Jedi". There are too many, and together, there will be nearly 80 movies released throughout July, and only two of them are Hollywood blockbusters.
Logically speaking, so many movie types, "Escape from the Jedi" and "The Legend of the Gods" have all received a guaranteed 100 million yuan. In theory, this result should be very simple in the summer season of the past year.
Then, the market feedback was jaw-dropping.
Entering July Week, except for July 2, because "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" was released, the box office of a single day exceeded 200 million, the remaining six days were all below 100 million, and the market fell to the bottom!
Although the market was heated up due to the five movies "Cold War 2", "To Youth: You Are Still Here", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Rock Tibetan Mastiff" and "City", it only lasted for three days, and the market did not exceed 500 million in two weeks after that.
In such a cold period, "July and Ansheng" was released.
...
"No, I don't think so. I still think "Happy Mourning" is more suitable for the best work. This movie shows the most realistic places behind the countryside..."
"But I think "August" is more suitable, through the eyes of children, showing signs of changes in the entire era..."
"Do you think August is suitable? I can't even understand what it wants to express!"
"It's like many people can't understand "Chongqing Forest" but still think this thing is a classic?"
Well, the above paragraph is the quarrel between King of Sunglasses and Young Master Lin.
King of Sunglasses supports "Happy Mourning". He firmly believes that this movie has the flavor of "Talk of Tokyo" and has a cold and rigorous style...
"In 1953, Yasujiro Ozu made "The Story of Tokyo", and the whole world saw a very dignified father. This year, a Chinese director responded to him, and the Chinese mother was very strong."
In order to increase his persuasion, Wang Jiawei actually began to give examples.
"Do you think this is a kind of strength? She committed suicide!"
Shen Lin suddenly felt it was ridiculous. Discussing rural human ethics with such preconceived people was simply a human tragedy.
"No, she gave up her life for the sake of her family!"
The King of Sunglasses is very serious.
"…Summer insects cannot speak of ice!"
Shen Lin looked at the King of Sunglasses, shook his head, and turned around and walked out of the small conference room.
After he left, everything had nothing to do with him. In fact, if it weren't for the awards received by this group of people who didn't have the August part of the awards from beginning to end, Shen Lin wouldn't be so excited.
After all, even "Entertainment" has the "Best Art Exploration" award, so why don't you give the award to comfort "August"?
