Chapter 131 Feng Xiaogang

Zhalang interviewed Chen Lin and released it three days ago.

Chen Lin was interviewed by Zha Lang just to explain the increasingly intense trend of sinking.

The effect is very good. The box office of "The Golden Captain" has risen against the storm for three consecutive days. In the second week of release, the box office closed at 1.2 billion. As of December 4, the cumulative box office of "The Golden Captain" for two weeks has reached 3.14 billion, which is only one step away from breaking the box office record of "The Mermaid".

At the same time, overseas box office continued to rise, and North America won a box office of US$270 million in two weeks.

At this time, the whole people are praising "The Touching Captain" and praising it is no longer news. It is necessary to find new news highlights. Criticizing "The Touching Captain" is definitely a good news point.

But the key is that critics must be people with high moral character or a certain status in the circle.

Feng Xiaogang is a very suitable candidate, and he gives people the feeling that he can speak sour words.

So, regardless of whether he had publicly evaluated "The Prince of the Gold", under the reports of irresponsible media, Feng Xiaogang became a model representative of jealousy of his younger generations.

Fortunately, everyone has Weibo now. Feng Xiaogang came forward to clarify that he had never commented on "The Prince of the Golden Touch" on any occasion. Chen Lin also posted a short video of Feng Xiaogang congratulating him.

Logically speaking, such an ending should be a happy ending that is praised by the whole nation.

Unfortunately, the public is not satisfied and the media is not satisfied!

Many people have also produced evidence that Chen Lin believes that Feng Xiaogang is not a movie master.

Yes, he said this, but his original words were, "Feng Xiaogang is infinitely close to the movie master!"

Although the meanings are almost the same, the effect expressed is different.

...

Many people compare Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou. This argument should be advocated by a bunch of media after the release of "Assembly Call" in O7.

When the filming of "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" was first promoted, the media would always mention Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, "the best Chinese director".

At that time, the national teacher had just finished the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and his work was only one of the 2oo6-year-old "The Golden Armor in the City", which was also mixed in praise and criticism. The "Legend of Three Guns" released in 2oo9 has become the "stained" work of the national teacher.

Zhang Yimou's reputation in the hearts of the audience has been declining, while Feng Xiaogang has been rising with the success of "Assembly" and finally became the "best Chinese director" in the media press release, which is ranked alongside Zhang Yimou.

I wonder why Feng Xiaogang went from being a New Year comedy director to "the best director in China" overnight?

Huayi’s publicity team is really amazing!

Director Feng was born in 1958. People of their age have an active participation attitude towards the country and society.

Director Feng is a literary and artistic worker: he is worried about the country and the people, and is confused and worried about the younger generation.

So, he filmed "1942". As a father, Feng Xiaogang told us: Did you see it? How much suffering did you suffer back then?

But "1942" eventually failed and lost to a funny comedy "Lost in Thailand".

It seemed as if overnight, the common people that Director Feng was very familiar with made him feel strange. What kind of stories does his audience like?

"The film I made casually ("If You Are the One") was a big hit, and the film I made carefully ("1942") was a big hit."

After saying this, he went to film "Private Customization", as if he wanted to make a fuss: Don't you stupid audiences like comedy? Then just take a picture for you to see.

In order to ensure an overwhelming box office, he did not hesitate to use the setting of his most proud work "Party A and Party B". The box office was indeed good, but the evaluation was still divided into two poles.

It has the familiar and expert of Director Feng, the "Feng Humor" in the New Year comedy style, and it also has a strong irony. The jokes used in "Big Name" and "Mobile Mobile" are also some political and criticizing current problems are hidden in the corners.

While he said, "There are bad people in the masses", he expressed his spiritual pursuit implicitly and implicitly, while trying to earn money from these stupid people. This is what Jiang Wen said in "Let the Bullets Fly", "How can I stand and make money again."

It is precisely because of this ambivalent mentality that "Private Customization" looks inappropriate.

Of course, it has not been favored by the audience.

This contradiction is actually often born in literary and artistic workers, which is the so-called bottleneck.

Should my works come from their original intentions or should I consider the audience?

This is a difficult balance to grasp. How to break through comes from the improvement of one's own abilities.

So there are often big players saying: When your talent cannot support your ambition, then dive in and practice hard.

But Director Feng didn't seem to have... He took another road, complaining about the world, and bombarding everywhere.

"1942" lost a box office miserably, and he teared the audience into the box, saying that the audience didn't understand what a good movie was.

"Private Customization" has a reputation among the streets. He teased out the critics and said that he has no match for the critics.

"Old Cannon" has a good reputation and a good box office, so he fought with his peers.

The reason is that the initial 20% of the filming schedule of "Old Cannon" is not as good as other movies released at the same time.

"Destiny" produced by him was released, protecting the heroine Tang Wei and tearing Ang Lee. When Tang Wei was banned 8 years ago, he did not stand up, but the new film was released but used this to hype. Director Feng really put his heart into it!

This time "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was released. Looking around, he turned his attention to the theaters again!

It seems that only by doing this can his works get attention!

He completely deviates from the film creation itself - the movie still depends on the audience's words after all!

In the latest movie "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", the situation has not improved.

There is still such a contradiction in Director Feng’s heart. His talent is still in the past, but his ambition can no longer be restrained.

Perhaps it was Huayi's advocacy, or the big players who could suppress him went away, and he felt that he had made it through!

However, his talent cannot support his ambitions and his long-cherished wish to become a master!

The simplest example is that Director Feng played a gimmick in "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" and made a breakthrough: digging a circle.

Is the circular pattern good-looking?

Good looking, very beautiful composition.

But what helps the plot promotion of this story?

Actually, there is no.

The biggest function may be to cover up the embarrassment of acting. Others, such as the feeling of peeping, the hazy feeling of holding a pipa, and the allusion of the meaning of current affairs, I believe that they are all the reasons to make the decision to "shoot with a circular pattern".

Director Feng’s previous movies were not known for photography, or his movies were not like Zhang Yimou ("Big Red Lantern Hanging High" and "Three Guns") and Wang Jiawei’s "East Evil and West Poison" and "Flowers in the Mood", which had more requirements for photography. His movies always focus on the story, that is, the plot level.

How to tell you a wonderful story at a fixed time. This is Director Feng’s appeal and his strength.

Unfortunately, his works have deviated from this option in recent years.
