Chapter 61 It turns out that everyone is going to go to the street
"It's really not good, unlike in the past few years." said Lao Jiayong on the side. He is also a young man and does not have much martial arts complex. "Brother Shitou, think about it again, are the costume martial arts films released in recent years no longer sold well? Even if a few excellent ones are more excellent, they will only make a small profit or guarantee a capital?"
After working as a paparazzi for several months, he went to the screenwriter's studio for a few days. Lao Jiayong probably didn't learn much about other films, but he is still quite familiar with the releases in recent years, especially the biggest films.
After hearing this, Liu Shi couldn't help but frown and slowly fell into deep thought...
"Is it really not possible?" Liu Shi asked again with disagreement. Liu Shi is also quite familiar with the box office in recent years, but no one has mentioned this topic before, and he has never paid attention to it. However, when someone said this today, it seems... it is really...
In fact, I can't blame Liu Shi for this. In fact, he is quite good, willing to listen to other people's opinions, has a relatively easy-going temper, and is prone to get along with young people.
But Liu Shi's generation of directors became famous directors and became obsessed with the picture, and everything else was a blush; while his next generation of directors, famous was obsessed with art films that suited foreign tastes, winning various foreign awards is the most important thing, and the viewing needs of domestic audiences are also blush; while Hong Kong and Taiwan directors are busy making money, and the enthusiasm they had when they first became filmmakers has long become a blush.
Especially the domestic directors have too much power, and they are arrogant and are not willing to lower themselves to understand the audience's true feelings. They are still holding the aesthetic view from decades ago and filming them for the current audience to watch? Tell me, how can you adapt to the market? Including the martial arts complex mentioned today, the same is true.
What is particularly terrifying is that these people are surrounded by people of about the same age, and their usual topics are similar to personal experiences. This shows a very inexplicable phenomenon - a group of people in their forties and fifties. They believe that the mainstream aesthetics of the whole country, from seventies to eighties, to kindergarten friends, should be exactly the same as themselves?
What’s very interesting is that the mainstream group of movie viewing is actually young people in their twenties or thirty years old? I really don’t know how to describe it, so I can only use one idiom - watch the sky from a well!
So, Liu Shi really didn't know that reality was like this. He was in such an atmosphere. The young people from the academy didn't dare to say it. They thought that what the predecessors taught were the truth, and they had no right to speak. Today, they met these three strange people, all of whom were born wild. Huo Dong and the others had no fixed ideological cage at all, and they were very brave. They dared to say and do it even more!
So Huo Dong smiled and explained: "Brother Shitou, I heard that when watching martial arts movies in China abroad, they watched them as fantasy movies, flying around in the air. In fact, there are similar situations abroad, such as those old filmmakers in Hollywood, who do not have the Western Cowboy complex? They all came from filming Western Cowboy movies. Look at Hollywood now, are there any Western Cowboy movies? That is suicide at the box office, and no one likes to watch them. However, the classic scenes in Western Cowboy movies can still be used in modern movies. However, the times have changed, so they have been replaced by special effects blockbusters like Superman or Defenders League."
"Wait, don't be busy convincing me first." Liu Shi took a big sip of beer, "According to your words, "Wu Lin" has a high probability of a box office failure? Don't you like to watch it? Haha?"
This is really funny, so it immediately caused laughter. Guo Zifeng grinned: "Anyway, I'm not very interested. Even if they made martial arts films at the top, they wouldn't be as good as the special effects in "The Immortal Palace". Especially Fang Wenhui, his action films when he was young were indeed very exciting. But now they are almost 60, just imagine that he is still fighting and killing on the screen and talking about love with the heroine. It's so fucking."
"You guys say, will it be less ugly if we are going to be fucking like that?"
laughing out loud!
"Then let's make a reverse-type kung fu movie. Oh, it's a modern kung fu movie, right?"
"Brother Shitou, you wait a little longer. I have a question. Are we still following the trend?"
laughing out loud!
"Didn't Xiaofeng say it? I don't know the content, so how can I follow the trend? But we still need to take care of the investors' feelings, just hit the porcelain on the name? There must be the word "martial arts" in it."
"I find that our moral integrity is getting lower and lower?"
laughing out loud!
"As soon as you enter the circle, you will become a passerby from now on!"
Laughing!
Anyway, I don’t know whether I will succeed. If everyone can be in trouble in the end, it will be gloating enough.
"Okay, don't build joy on others." Liu Shi continued to laugh, "Let's name first! Wulin Fengyun? Wulin overlord?"
"The Bath of the Martial Arts (Desire) Fire is reborn. Since we have already hit the car, we will have enough to touch it. Hehe."
"Hey, which bath do you use?"
"Brother Shitou, the audience will like whoever they like. Hehehe."
“…”
While talking, Huo Dong suddenly heard the phone ringing. When he saw that it was Tao Xue, he answered the phone.
"Hey! Stinky winter melon, is it made? My sister took on a movie, with a big investment of over 20 million yuan. I play the first female lead. Hehehe..."
Hearing Tao Xue laughing maliciously, Huo Dong asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"And of course you beg me, it depends on my mood! Lalala..." Tao Xue sang the tune happily. After singing for a while, she found that Huo Dong had no reaction, so she said in a regretful way, "Stinky Donggua, why are you so stupid? Can I bring you into the crew? Maybe you can get another role. Don't you expose it? Hehe, but now I really want a little kid to call me sister, call me a few more, and have other good-sounding words. Hahaha... Lalala... Lalala..."
Huo Dong could already figure out Tao Xue's arrogant appearance, and even his tail was scathing everywhere. But he continued to remain silent: "Sister, your singing is out of tune!"
"What...what?"
Huo Dong smiled in his heart: "Hu Niu, can you tell me Prince Brother, which movie you made?"
"..., don't worry about this." Of course Tao Xue couldn't tell the name, because the movie still has no name.
"So how about Cass?" Huo Dong continued to laugh, "You are the first female, so the first male must be very powerful."
Chapter completed!
