Chapter 83 Screening of "The God of Medicine" (3/4)
If it were a Chinese director who directed "Wrestle, Dad", he would definitely be scolded by a bunch of people for having "unfair views"...
‘A female film that is full of patriarchal and patriarchal rights. The daughter has no choice and is brutally educated by her father to become the world champion. The "correct" result of this champion means that the father's education is correct!’
‘The values of fathers are simply disgusting. They force their daughter to live with dreams, money, and champions. The so-called father-daughter relationship is worse than a reward after satisfying their own desires.’
‘Is it really more worthy of being a tool for fathers to realize their dreams than being a tool for others to give birth and housework?’
And once there is no marketing account to protect it, the movie will completely collapse...
In recent years, a bunch of marketing accounts have not only joked about young and fresh people but also criticized Chinese movies, because this can get clicks!
We have many excellent movies, "Together with You" directed by Kaige in 2002, and there is a movie called "Maimaiti's 2008" in Xinjiang...
Especially the latter, although the name is bad, it is actually very good, sincere and touching!
Unfortunately, the box office was less than 1.5 million...
...
As the opening film of the Shanghai Film Festival, "The God of Medicine" naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Director, screenwriter, and starring Wang Bo, Zhang Junsheng, and a bunch of guests came, and basically all the celebrities who appeared at the Film Festival came.
Including Xu Yan, Liu Yifei, Liang Mi...
Xu Yan is promoting her TV series "If You Don't Met You", which is a TV series adapted from real people and stories. In 12 episodes, Dong*fang Satellite TV has made a six-day cycle to play this TV series...
There is no way, who made Xu Yan the number one sister in the mainland?
Her TV series is worth it!
Liu Yifei is promoting "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"...
Ahem, this movie seems to be sold at the box office when it crashed, but the derivatives were sold for 400 million yuan with authorization!
As for Yang Mi, it is to promote "Counter-Time Rescue".
In recent years, the status of the Shanghai Film Festival has been increasing, so capital has poured in...
But the same thing is said, the top main competition unit is completely unpopular with the media and audience. Even with the complete works of Hitchcock and the classic screenings of many masters of French New Wave, it cannot be included in the entertainment section of the host country.
The Chinese film crew set up a stage to promote sales, reporters watch celebrities, audience watch celebrities, and organizers watch celebrities, and only the jury is watching the movies themselves.
No one paid attention to the content of the competition video, there were only a few reviews, and there were no surprise views.
Only the movie forum is quite novel!
In the afternoon, Ma Xiaokang fired again: 'There are too many bad movies in China because of another group of garbage viewers!'
Then netizens started to scold...
Said he is accumulating his character for "Youth"...
How to say it, it’s a bit annoying to keep playing this set!
Whenever a movie is released, it must be hyped up.
Of course, he was right to say this!
Because the logic is fine - there are really a lot of garbage movies that are supported by garbage audiences!
To put it bluntly, the film industry is born for the audience and interests. What kind of movies the audience likes to watch, this type of movie will have a box office and benefits will come. Therefore, the audience's aesthetic determines everything.
If the audience likes to watch crazy dramas, there will be a large number of crazy movies; on the contrary, if the audience likes to watch high-quality and connotational movies, there will be no such movies.
Why do you watch movies? Not for entertainment. If you want to see culture, you might as well read books...
Therefore, movies meet the needs of the audience. The audience is rubbish, and the movies cannot avoid garbage.
However, movies are still decided by mainstream audiences. Although junk movies can be popular for a while, they cannot become mainstream. The mainstream must stick to themselves!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Junsheng was asked this question. He thought about it and replied: "The fact that Director Ma Xiaokang said is indeed a group of junk movies appear in the market because the audience pays the bill. However, I always think that mainstream movies are pretty good, and the audience is willing to pay the bill to support it. In terms of probability, good movies will make money, and they make more money than junk movies... In fact, complaining about the audience is not a good way, especially a director!"
"Then what do you think is too much bad movies?"
"…The director has no ability and the script is not qualified... In short, there are too many reasons, but the audience can see what his freedom is. You say that the audience is rubbish, I don't think it's right! As professional filmmakers, there is nothing to scold the audience. After all, we are ahead of the audience."
"The God of Medicine" is about to be released, and Zhang Junsheng doesn't want to offend the audience!
And director Ma Xiaokang is a little bit ill...
After all, he has made bad movies, and "Private Customization" is so bad that it is still very popular. This makes it a kind of feeling of picking up chopsticks to eat meat, putting down chopsticks to curse.
Moreover, Zhang Junsheng really thinks that Ma Xiaokang's words "trash audience" are problematic. Although the logic is invincible, it is just a problem!
After all, he once said, 'The movie viewing ability of Chinese audiences must not be underestimated' - When "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was released, it was only eight months since he bombarded the audience with garbage...
...
"The God of Medicine" has no major changes, and the plot itself is already very complete. In addition to modifying the image of the Swedish medical representative played by King Liu...
Not that hateful.
After all, Liu Tianwang has been in a movie for so many years and has never played a pure villain yet!
But he was still the fuse for Cheng Yong's arrest. As a representative of Glenin, Switzerland, he had his own pursuit of interests.
"I broke the law and I didn't say anything about how to judge it. However, looking at these patients, I felt sad. They couldn't afford to take the genuine medicine at all. They just waited for me to bring the medicine back to save their lives. If I lost it, they could only wait to die, or even commit suicide!"
"However, I believe it will get better and better in the future. I hope that day will come sooner!"
Sailing fare in the ten-mile street...
Three years later, Cheng Yong was released from prison, and only his brother-in-law was picked up...
"What are the plans for the future?"
“…I haven’t thought about it yet?”
"Don't touch fake medicine, no one buys that thing!"
"…What's wrong?"
"The genuine medicine has been put into medical insurance, and no one has taken Indian medicine!"
"Good!"
"You'd better continue selling your aphrodisiacs, which is suitable for you!"
“…it’s OK!”
The movie ended and the scene was filled with tears...
Including a bunch of guests sitting in the front row.
"Why do you want to make a movie like this?"
"…No reason, I just think it's appropriate. I hope I can make a movie with realistic themes!"
"The God of Medicine" has a prototype story,' in an interview with reporters, Zhang Junsheng frowned and replied: "I don't want to make it into a sad movie, but a movie that releases positive energy and hope. From the perspective of emotional feelings, there must be a kind of compassion for the world. In terms of technology and techniques, it cannot be a niche art film. I want the audience to be willing to accept it, so it should be a bright-paced, good-looking, and humorous. The first part of the comedy is presented, and the audience should like these people."
"Once Chinese audiences empathize, they will give you everything"
"Box office...I didn't think much about it, it shouldn't be bad..."
Chapter completed!
