Chapter 1243 Attack on "Crazy Racing"(1/2)
Li Canghai has never picked up the microphone since "The Great Man" and began to enjoy his retirement life.
But this does not mean that he has no influence in the film industry.
On the contrary, as he bid farewell to the screen and became an honorary figure in major organizations in the Chinese film industry, his influence increased instead of decreasing. The old man was already a highly respected senior in the film industry, and his words and deeds represented countless filmmakers.
point of view.
After Yang Ming's interview was broadcast on Phoenix TV, it aroused strong reactions from people in the industry and also caused quite a bit of controversy.
Many people raised questions about Yang Ming with ulterior motives, trying to confuse the public and achieve their ulterior motives.
When Yang Ming saw the news that deliberately discredited him, he took it indifferently and didn't take it to heart. With his achievements now, it would be inconsistent with his identity to get angry over such trivial matters.
Naturally, specialized personnel from the company will be responsible for things like these.
It won't cause much waves.
But Yang Ming didn't care, but the new issue of "Chinese Movies" published an interview with Li Canghai. In his words, he analyzed why Yang Ming has been so successful, and he highly praised Yang Ming's success.
"A few years ago, Hollywood blockbusters entered the domestic film market. Our local movie fans started to know Hollywood from action movies. When it comes to action movies, the concept is relatively vague. Even our domestic action movies have a history of decades.
But that year, the Hollywood film "The Fugitive" entered the local film market and gave all movie fans another concept and experience of action movies."
"Fierce fights, fiery scenes, and all kinds of incredible special effects explosions have made Hollywood action blockbusters attract countless movie fans in our country. With the diversified development of contemporary movies, they have become popular in various media such as television and computers.
In the era when action movies from our domestic movies have entered thousands of households, domestic movie fans have long been tired of watching them, and they cannot feel anything new. Except for fighting, fighting, and except for the rare big scenes in police and gangster movies, it is difficult to see any other movie scenes.
Raising fans' interest in action movies."
"Hollywood has taken advantage of this. After Hollywood blockbusters were released on domestic screens, the exciting storylines that stimulate adrenaline and the visual impact brought by special effects shots immediately conquered domestic movie fans."
"So to position an action movie, you still need to see whether the movie meets the academic classification of action movies. To put it bluntly, you can't escape the word "traditional" after going around and around. In this type of movie, more emphasis is placed on drama.
Conflict and thrilling plots, with PKs between good and evil sides, group fights and hand-to-hand combat, chases and escapes in various means of transportation, intense explosions and gun battles as the core sections, and a powerful action hero is indispensable.
.”
"This is also a routine used in Hollywood action blockbusters."
"Action movies provide audiences with highly tense thrilling actions and audio-visual tension. They completely capture the fast food culture and entertainment-seeking psychology of today's audiences, making people willing to spend money to enjoy the 90 minutes of exhilaration. They have become a popular genre all over the world.
Blockbusters have also become the darling of the box office."
"This is also the method used by the Hollywood film industry to sweep across the global film market in recent years. Shooting commercial action blockbusters is what Hollywood is best at."
"But now Yang Ming has defeated the opponent in what Hollywood is best at, taking the lead in breaking the US film market's single-day box office record of over 100 million, which even Hollywood has not touched. I have to say this young man's development trend in the global film industry
On the way, we are already ahead of everyone.”
"It's not pretentious, it doesn't make excuses, it doesn't fool the audience. This is Yang Ming's success."
.........
After all, Li Canghai can be regarded as an old man at the level of Beidou in the domestic film industry, so naturally he will not simply praise Yang Ming.
His films have been released in foreign film markets several times, with some failures and some successes. He is no stranger to the success model of the Hollywood film industry.
Therefore, the old man's analysis and comparison between Hollywood and Yang Ming in his personal comments can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
Especially the reasons for success that he summarized for Yang Ming, even Yang Ming himself was quite moved after reading it.
The old man finally got to the point.
Yang Ming naturally knows that the film works he produced in this life have been proven in previous lives, and he also understands the success of these film and television works.
Confucian culture has run through the entire history of China from ancient times to the present.
Many values in Confucian culture have influenced generations of Chinese people.
A gentleman does not talk about profit, which is one of them.
Why the dispute between commercial films and art films is so fierce in today's world has a lot to do with Confucian traditional cultural thought.
Even in the previous life, this was no exception.
The so-called fashion in the West, to Chinese people, is simply self-indulgence and does not conform to Chinese aesthetics and values.
Therefore, for art workers who are restrained in their pursuit of leaving a name even after death, art is their lofty pursuit.
Yang Ming was naturally not troubled by these problems when he came to this world. He chose the commercial film route very simply. This does not mean that in his mind, commercial films are higher than artistic films.
But what is his biggest demand at the moment?
What is his biggest dream?
The movie box office has broken all kinds of records, and Chinese-language movies can even be sold to the United States and every corner of the world, allowing the United States and even Western Europe to try the feeling of dumping Chinese culture.
This is what Yang Ming wants.
It is Yang Ming's dream to build his own entertainment and culture empire and own a media industry chain to protect his career.
Therefore, his choice is commercial movies.
Simple and direct.
Because whether it is his appeal or his dream, he needs massive funds to support him.
He had no choice but to make commercial films.
As for art films, maybe he will try his hand at making one when he has some free time.
Yang Ming's attitude towards movies has never been concealed on any occasion. In several meetings with Li Canghai, he expressed his opinions on the Chinese film industry without reservation!
His achievements in the past few years have indirectly proved that Yang Ming's choice was correct.
In the interview, Li Canghai also admitted that he was not impressed by Yang Ming's choice at first, but now Yang Ming has used his achievements to tell him that what he is doing is the future of the entire Chinese film industry.
To paraphrase Yang Ming, what exactly is the appeal of the Chinese film industry?
If they just stand out and entertain themselves behind closed doors, then art films can indeed meet the needs of the Chinese film industry.
But if you want to enter the global film industry and fill every theater in the world with Chinese-language films, then commercial films are the best choice.
Don't look forward and backward, don't be pretentious, don't be greedy for perfection!
Leonard used his own failure this time to tell everyone that not everyone can control the balance between deliberation and art.
Mr. Li Canghai's interview record is very long, covering an entire page, and more than half of it is about news related to Yang Ming.
The old man also talked a lot about why Yang Ming succeeded and what Yang Ming’s new film once again broke the box office record in the United States, which has brought about the entire Chinese film industry. At the same time, he also talked about Yang Ming’s contribution to the Chinese film industry in these two days.
Respond positively to the incident.
Well done!
The old man has become intolerable to all the bad habits in the current film industry.
He even said in the interview that he would urge various organizations in the Chinese film industry and the government to rectify and deal with various chaos in the current film industry.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Those who previously criticized Yang Ming for being alarmist were now frightened to speak out again after seeing Mr. Li Canghai's statement.
Because of Li Canghai's status in the Chinese film industry, he has the ability and influence to do such a thing.
This is no longer what they can handle.
Victory Pictures.
Zhao Jianfeng has been smiling all day long for several days. He has always been gentle and friendly to the people. When he smiles more, the boss looks more like a spring breeze in the eyes of all the company's employees.
He smiled and nodded all the way into his office. As soon as he entered, Xiao Bufan, who came with him, looked at Zhao Jianfeng in a strange way and asked, "Aren't you tired of laughing like this every day?"
Even if everyone thinks that Zhao Jianfeng is a gentle and kind person, Xiao Bufan does not think so.
This is a smiling poisonous snake that can kill people just by talking and laughing.
Otherwise, why would the power of the real-time film platform be in the hands of Zhao Jianfeng? No one has deeper feelings than Xiao Bufan.
Thinking about how warmly Zhao Jianfeng received him when he came to Yanjing at the beginning, thinking about this, he had the urge to hit a wall.
When Zhao Jianfeng heard Xiao Bufan's words, he glanced at him with a smile and was not angry. Instead, he picked up the red wine he asked someone to bring from his hometown in Guangdong in the office, poured two glasses, and handed one to Xiao Bufan: "Don't be so sad.
People who don’t know, would think that “Crazy Race” failed at the box office!”
Xiao Bufan took the red wine and snorted secretly, but did not show any expression on his face. He sat on the sofa and tasted the red wine slowly.
Seeing Xiao Bufan's appearance, something strange flashed in the depths of Zhao Jianfeng's eyes. Then he touched his nose, and his mood soon returned to normal, and he sat down opposite Xiao Bufan.
Although the movie "Racing" was not Zhao Jianfeng's project from the beginning, this film has undoubtedly benefited Zhao Jianfeng a lot.
Especially when the family saw the box office results of this film, they strengthened their plan to enter the entertainment and cultural industry and increased their support for Zhao Jianfeng.
It is precisely because of these that Zhao Jianfeng has been smiling and in a happy mood these days.
He also didn't expect that "Crazy Race" would do so well at the box office.
Of course, compared with the box office of that monster's movie, "Crazy Racing" has no comparison, but Zhao Jianfeng didn't have much hope for this movie to block the box office of that monster's movie, as long as it can recover some of the publicity and production costs.
.
But now, with the box office performance of "Crazy Race", there is no problem in recovering the production costs, and it can also make a small profit.
In July of this summer, after the opening of the box office war that was anticipated by countless media, "The Fast and the Furious" achieved unparalleled box office results worldwide, completely extinguishing everyone's speculation about the outcome.
