Chapter 202 The best single day in the director's career

Ning Hao, who was forced to be cue, turned black. The ban on "No Man's Land" was not actually because of the theme, but mainly because the Ulu*Muqi incident occurred...

I can only say that I was born at the wrong time. As for Zhao Baohua, what he said might be some high-sounding reasons. The real reason is inconvenient to explain in detail. Therefore, I can only wait until the incident has calmed down for ten years before "No Man's Land" will be released.

"Well, the censorship is indeed moving towards a loose direction..."

Ning Hao explained vaguely.

"But many excellent movies are killed because of censorship. Don't you think we should change this situation?"

Before the boy could speak, a girl stood up and asked a question.

How much resentment do these students have about the censorship system?

Of course, Xiaobai answered this question very seriously: "…Have you heard of Hays Code?"

"The United States used to have something similar to photoelectric, called Hays Code. At that time, a lot of things that were considered to be depressed by social cognition and social morality at that time were banned. Hitchcock's movie "The Beauty Scheme" cross-edited the camera of the male and female protagonists kissing with the camera of the environment, because Hays Code stipulates that the camera of the male and female kissing cannot last up to five seconds.

The most fundamental reason for the collapse of Hays Code and the emergence of the film rating system is that the screen content in the past has been difficult to meet the needs of audience growth, the film and television market has become burned out, and social progress also requires audiences to see more quality works.

Further distinguishing the types of videos can target the audience more accurately, so that the flowers bloom without affecting each other.

Grading is generated by market demand and is actually not very related to the government.

In the past, American movies were also very strict in censorship. Of course, with the changes of the times, most contents such as pornography and violence are not within the scope of censorship. The scale of the movies has suddenly magnified so much. In order to protect minors, a hierarchy system was born.

As the scale of the movie becomes larger, the market has a demand for grading, and a grading system is generated, the logic must be clarified first.

Therefore, the emergence of a hierarchical system not only depends on the level of social cognition and government policies, but also a market behavior. China's current film and television industry still has a long way to go. It is enough, but it lacks more."

I couldn't help but add, "In fact, with the current scale, even if there is a hierarchy system, most domestic movies are in the same level, and there is no big difference between whether they are divided or not."

"I think the advantage of censorship is that it gives some people who originally lack imagination and creativity a loud excuse, as if they can make some good films without censorship. It's useless. Even if they are given standard, they may not be able to make big-name works!"

“…”

Everyone was in different moods after saying this. Some agreed, some wanted to refute it, but they couldn't find any arguments.

Seeing this, the host hurriedly controlled the scene: "Okay, the time is almost over, let's go to the last question."

There were still dozens of people raising their hands, and the host randomly called a female student: "I want to ask Director Bai Xiaofei, why do your movies rarely use young actors?"

"...No, Chuanjun, Zhang Shan, and Yang Lan are all very young actors!"

"I'm talking about actors like Wang Junkai and Di Lire Bar!"

The students present burst into laughter, as if they thought the question raised by this female classmate was a bit funny...

“…I don’t like using traffic stars very much, maybe it’s a personal habit.”

Xiaobai also replied with a smile.

The female student seemed to be the supporter of these people, and asked relentlessly: "Why don't you use them? If you don't use them, how can they improve their acting skills?"

“…Why should I use them?”

"Now many people say that traffic stars are box office poison. I think it's because you capable directors don't trust them, so why don't you give them a chance?"

"…You sit down first and listen to me talk slowly!"

The little white still had a smile on his face. When the female student sat down, he said, "First of all, I am used to using actors who can be easily penetrated by movies. I am worried and filmed quickly. What I annoyed most is to teach actors to act. That is the job of a performance teacher. Most of the traffic stars you mentioned have some shortcomings in performance. If I look for them, I have to teach them more. It is too difficult."

"Secondly, their pay is too high, I can't afford it!"

"In the end, I finally managed to get through so much that I didn't have to look at the face of capital. I could use whoever I wanted to use. Why did I still have to find traffic stars to make things difficult for myself?"

...

The event ended and a few people got on the bus.

As soon as he sat down, Xiaobai immediately urged: "Hurry up, look at the box office!"

“…it’s already 120 million!”

A plain and quiet answer.

"…It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, so high?"

"Douban 9.0, the best in ten years, what do you think!"

"How much is "Iron Fist"?"

"Forty million!"

“…Where is the reputation?”

"Most of the feedback is funny, it is worthy of being produced by Mahua..."

"I should really change the schedule!"

Xiaobai muttered.

Xu Zheng gave him a blank look: "What time is changing? Are we leading the way? Are you two doing something now?"

“…Stay a break and take a bus to Hangzhou at 5 pm.”

After looking at the schedule, Xiaobai looked up and replied.

"Okay, I'll let Taohong make some food, let's go and eat something!"

"Go now? Will it disturb you?"

"No, she's fine anyway."

...

"Shameful Iron Fist" was officially released at 10:00 am on the 30th.

Mahua's first two movies, "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Donkey Gets Water" have a good reputation, especially "Donkey Gets Water", which has accumulated countless audiences. Therefore, Mahua's third movie, responded quickly and attracted the attention of countless audiences!

The theaters are also optimistic about this movie and give 27% of the screening!

There are too many new films released during the National Day holiday, and each film has its own selling points. The Big Brother's "British Showdown" has only 19% screening volume. As for "Sky Hunter", which was released yesterday, the box office performance was cut in half, leaving only 10% screening volume, and "Sewing Machine Band" is even worse, with only 7% screening volume...

The market performance is exactly the same as Xiaobai’s previous predictions. It is obvious that "The God of Medicine" and "Iron Fist" are in the first echelon, while the second echelon is "British Showdown" and "Chasing the Dragon"...

Especially in "Chasing the Dragon", many viewers said: It's so scary! This film was actually shot by Fatty Wang... Wang Jing became serious and was still amazing...

There is a trend of counterattack!

However, no matter how much counterattack, it will only occupy the second tier at most, which cannot be compared with "Shameful Iron Fist" and "The God of Medicine".

I mean box office...

As of the 31st, "The Shameful Iron Fist" had a box office of 210 million in the first weekend, setting a new high for Mahua movies - 80 million on the first day and 130 million on the next day;

"The God of Drugs" seems to have taken drugs, with 110 million on the first day and 180 million on the next day. On the third day, it even hit 280 million. Not only did it push the box office of the first weekend to 570 million, it also set a new record for Bai Xiaofei's movie so far...

Single-day box office record…
Chapter completed!
