What grudges do I have with your southern newspaper industry?

Chen Jingxing had declined many interviews and even invitations to online variety shows before, but he still could not survive Zhang Jingyan's phone hypnosis. Even Xu Wenshen suggested that he accept this interview.

"Southern People Weekly" is not limited to entertainment, film and television, and rarely even invites practitioners in the film and television industry. Its reporting figures have always been mainly people from the business community.

According to "Southern People Weekly"'s reporting targets, they are people who have had a significant impact on China's progress and people's lives, and people who demonstrate mankind's power for good and the profound and complex charm of human nature in their struggle against fate.

Logically speaking, Chen Jingxing cannot meet the standards anyway.

It is entirely thanks to Netflix that "Night of the Comet" ranked sixth in the U.S. Twitter trend. At the same time, it also relied on its popularity in the highlands of American film and television culture to spread to other countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

For more than ten years, China has not had a film and television production that can win wide popularity in Europe and the United States, and all this has been achieved by a low-cost online movie.

After the popularity after export was brought back by domestic sales, the editor-in-chief of "Southern People Weekly" temporarily changed the topic and sent an invitation to Chen Jingxing through Huanshi.com.

Obviously, "Southern People Weekly" wants to discuss more than just the movie itself.

The visiting reporter wears glasses and is a very elegant and intellectual woman.

"How do you say that?"

"Hello."

Chen Jingxing briefly mentioned his thoughts and then stopped going deeper. He is not a big shot in the film industry. If he comments on other directors' works and gives advice, doesn't this attract hatred?

When the reporter saw that Chen Jingxing was happy, he accepted it without saying much. He felt a little regretful in his heart. After all, he couldn't force the interviewee to express his opinion, right? But he couldn't let this guy off easily.

Chen Jingxing tried hard not to let Southern People Weekly make big news about him.

"Do you like others to call you Director Chen?"

Good guy, this is one pit after another. You should ask the CEOs of Netflix and Fantasy World about this question.

I have to say, after all, it is an influential professional media, and the questions asked at the beginning were quite sharp, completely different from the tone in the Huanshi.com variety show.

"Hello, Director Chen."

For example, "Avatar" in the previous life, in a movie theater or even on a giant screen, the viewing effect of IMAX is completely different from that of watching movies on computers and mobile phones. To be serious, these are not the same movie. Chen Jingxing will be filming in the future

All science fiction blockbusters are, without exception, created for cinemas, and only in cinemas can audiences experience the shocking effects.

"I like it. Being a director and making movies has been my dream for a long time."

"I don't agree with the term revolution. The next movie I am preparing is a work jointly produced by Fantasy World and our DreamWorks and released in theaters. I think streaming media is actually working hard to integrate into the film industry. I

I also believe that Internet companies will develop faster and become a powerful complement to the film industry in the future. The process here is not to replace but to integrate and supplement, and of course it will not be a revolution."

""Comet" is loved by many people overseas and triggers many topics. This is of course the result of the right time and place, such as the boredom of American film critics for comic book blockbusters, and the fact that it caters to Netflix's new young users.

The movie-watching hobby provides the fun of decryption, which is a natural social topic. There is also the contrast between the low cost of the film itself and a fairly complicated story. The low cost itself is a gimmick, but I think this success is not

Cannot be copied."

"The above two points are the source of my confidence in shooting "Comet". I just need to turn the picture in my mind into a simple shot without light and shadow. In fact, the most difficult part for me is how to

Invite actors to star in this movie."

The conflict between streaming media and theater chains has begun. It is a topic that has aroused heated discussions abroad. In China, many radical Internet company executives have made remarks about replacing theater chains, but Chen Jingxing does not want to get involved.

To be honest, he is a supporter of cinemas, and some of the science fiction blockbusters he plans to shoot in the future are pure cinema works. The characteristic of heavy industry films is that only in cinemas can you see complete movies.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether Chen Jingxing is optimistic about the future of movie theaters or not, he is still far from the status of Xu Zheng in his previous life. He can't afford to offend the movie theaters with his small arms and legs.

"Director Chen, a very interesting fact is that "Comet" was originally an online movie broadcast by Huanshi.com, but overseas it was broadcast on Netflix. No matter at home or abroad, "Comet" was not released in theaters, but it was

Both have gained wide publicity and have even become topical works on social media. There are now comments on the Internet that "Comet" is the first successful film driven by streaming media, without traditional film production and distributors in between.

As someone who has experienced it personally, do you think this will be the beginning of the Internet or streaming media’s revolution in the film industry?"

"Since the international martial arts trend receded, there has been no domestic film that can arouse widespread repercussions on the other side of the ocean for a long time. In your opinion, is the success of "Comet" in the United States an unrepeatable accident or is it inevitable?

"

"We say that film is a world language because film is an audio-visual language, but film is also the carrier of culture. If we simply want to promote our film and television cultural works overseas, we may have to abandon some expressions of traditional culture.

I think if we can add some modern elements to our film and television works, it will be more conducive to the acceptance of overseas audiences. After all, it is difficult for foreign cultural aesthetics to last long. The most common common memory of mankind is the memory of modernization and industrialization. After all,

In ancient times, everyone was an isolated island. The problems and ways of thinking faced by modernization are common to all countries. Of course, this requires the support of the film industry. Only with stable output will more hits appear."

"I noticed that you are not from a major in college. Your major in college is mathematics, which has nothing to do with film. In public perception, directing should be a highly professional job. Many other cross-border directors often work in

The film and television industry has been invaded for many years, and you have been influenced by it before you have the confidence to take the lead. What prompted you to put film production into practice?"

"I think first of all, I think I have talent. I was also studying photography and film production in college. The story of "Comet" is three-dimensional in my brain and is composed of pictures.

I drew the script of the movie very early. Secondly, the shooting background required for this movie is very simple. It is a room with eight people. The plot is mainly driven by dialogue, and there is not even a change of light and shadow.

There are no special effects required, in fact it can be shot with just one or two handheld cameras.”

Although the reporter failed to succeed, the reporter was not discouraged. It was originally a test. The debate on the other side of the ocean about reducing or even canceling the theater window period is now very fierce. After all, the theater window period in Hollywood is three months.

But there is no such controversy in China. First of all, the window period is short, only thirty days. Secondly, the strength of domestic Internet platforms is also qualitatively different from Netflix. The theaters do not feel too much of a threat. Finally, in 2013

Now in 2017, the country supports theater chains in their desperate efforts to expand the number of screens, and the box office market is protected by policies. The so-called fate of streaming media revolutionizing theater chains is just a fashionable international issue in China at this time.

The intellectual and elegant reporter held his eyes and his smile became sweeter: "You just said that domestic film and television works may need more modern themes if they want to go abroad. There are also some directors in the film and television industry who have similar opinions to you, but for

Regarding this issue, Director Wang Molin proposed that modern-themed movies have to face more review obstacles than ancient costume martial arts and fantasy movies. Do you agree with Director Wang’s point of view? Do you have any specific suggestions and opinions on the review standards for modern-themed movies?

?”

Chen Jingxing almost rolled his eyes. Do I have any grudges or grudges with your Southern newspaper? Why are you doing this to me?
