As the sun sets, time passes, and the interview continues.
"Although the gap exists, it doesn't mean that we don't have a chance to catch up."
Lin Zixuan continued, "The great development of the economy will inevitably lead to the great development of entertainment, the people are rich, they will pursue spiritual enjoyment, the quality of the cinema and the experience brought by watching discs at home can not be compared, it is foreseeable that more and more audiences will enter the cinema in the future, to promote the construction of the cinema chain and the growth of the box office." ” "When do you expect the box office of domestic films to surpass Titanic," Meng Jingfa asked.
Titanic is a representative of Hollywood blockbusters, and the box office of 350 million yuan has been hanging over the heads of domestic films, making domestic filmmakers feel the pressure from Hollywood.
Although there are many factors at this box office, it reflects a fact.
Domestic films cannot reach that height at present, and some people say that Titanic is a commercial blockbuster, with a vulgar story, relying on special effects and nudity to attract attention, and there is no artistry at all.
That's where the bull's head comes in.
In the face of Hollywood movies, useful things must be learned, and they cannot be biased, otherwise the gap will get bigger and bigger.
"I don't have a timetable here, this has to be seen in two aspects, it is not difficult to surpass purely from the box office, the domestic cinema chain is developing rapidly, the number of screens is increasing, and there will be a big eruption at the box office, five or six years, I think there will be domestic films with a box office of about 500 million."
Lin Zixuan judged, "However, don't forget, Titanica is a film released in ninety-seven years, and there is no comparison at the box office, what is really to be compared is the quality of the film." ” "Do you mean commercial or artistic quality?"
Meng Jing said uncertainly.
Meng Jing has not been in contact with the entertainment industry for a long time, she is good at writing reports on celebrities, but she lacks a deep understanding of the film industry, or she knows nothing about it.
Yu Ji is not a film theorist and a professional scholar, they are facing the general reader, and reporting on the hot topics that the general reader is interested in.
Both live on the periphery of the entertainment industry and on the surface of the circle.
Lin Zixuan has been in this industry for more than ten years, and as the helmsman of the largest private film and television company in China, he must see the problem from a different angle and depth.
"It's a big deal."
Lin Zixuan responded, "You always feel that commercial films and literary films are opposed to each other, and some people in the circle also have this opinion, but in front of the market, there is no such absolute, literary films can also be blockbusters, and commercial films will also fail, this quality is a conclusion drawn from various factors." ” "The means for the media to evaluate a movie are very simple, whether it has won an award, whether it has a box office hit, and only a film that has won an award or has a high box office can be considered a success."
Lin Zixuan continued, "That's actually right, winning an award means being recognized by experts, and the box office means being recognized by the audience. ” "What do you mean," Meng Jing wondered.
"I'll give you a simple example, the score of the movie on the time network is an indicator of comprehensive consideration, some people think that although the movie is not good, the picture is good, some people think that the actors' acting skills are not good, but the plot can still be watched, these ideas are expressed in the form of scoring, and when you see the score, you can roughly understand the quality of a movie."
Lin Zixuan gave an example, "Of course, the comprehensive evaluation of the film within the film company is much more complicated, not only commercial or artistic, but also pictures and music, costumes and props, etc. ” "Titanic is the embodiment of the highest standards of the Hollywood industry, its artistry is not strong, but other aspects add a lot of points to it, special effects are only one aspect, beautiful music, gorgeous costumes, compact plot and tense dramatic conflict, the overall score is very high."
Lin Zixuan explained, "If domestic films are to be compared, it is a comparison of comprehensive quality, and the higher the score, the more successful the film." ” Meng Jing was trying to keep up with Lin Zixuan's train of thought, and at the same time, he was also controlling the rhythm of the visit.
Exclusive interviews are quite demanding for reporters, this is not gossip, but in-depth exchanges, if the reporter is not fully prepared, or the knowledge reserve is insufficient, it is easy to fall into embarrassment and passivity.
"Is it far from being the hero of Director Feng this time," Meng Jing asked.
"We are heroes mainly because we want to take the route of domestic blockbusters, Good Dream started with low-cost comedies, the combination of Director Feng and Teacher Ge is very successful, welcomed by the audience, and the income is very good, we can choose to continue to do it, anyway, we can make money."
Lin Zixuan said in a deep voice, "When the company is established, there is no shortage of funds, and we are no longer satisfied with the status quo, whether it is Director Feng or Mr.
Ge, there are considerations for transformation, Director Feng wants to make blockbusters, Mr.
Ge wants to make literary films, and at that time we have the consideration of making commercial blockbusters." ” "The hero is an attempt, and there may still be a big gap with the Titanica, but I think the gap is narrowing, and with this experience, we can do better in the future."
Lin Zixuan said calmly.
"Jiang Wen is the starring role of the hero or the art director, some people in the circle say that he is not good at cooperating and playing a big name, what do you think?"
asked Meng Jingtan.
"What does Jiang Wen say, he is talented, talented people are inevitably arrogant, he is not bad at cooperating, but he speaks more bluntly, you reporters are probably the deepest."
Lin Zixuan said with a smile, "I have worked with him a few times, his personality is more stubborn and unwilling to compromise, Zhang Yimou is from northern Shaanxi, and he is also stubborn and twisted, but he knows how to compromise in some aspects, Jiang Wen can't." ” "What should I do when filming," Meng Jing said curiously.
"It's very simple, find a director who is easy to talk to or let him be his own director, and let him toss around."
Lin Zixuan said, "You can't compete with Jiang Wen, you have to give him room to play, maybe you can come out with an interesting film, last time Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen filmed an urban light comedy, the rhythm of the whole film was deviated by Jiang Wen, without Zhang Yimou's style, it can't be said to be successful, but it is really interesting." ” "Some people say that Director Zhang can't make a good film after cooperating with Zhang Weiping, Zhang Weiping is too commercial, and Director Zhang's previous artistic concept is different."
Meng Jing said tentatively.
Meng Jing had heard rumors that Good Dream Company and Zhang Wei were not in agreement.
Zhang Weiping made enemies everywhere in the entertainment industry, which is a means of hype, but he is not very recognized by insiders, who feel that he is too utilitarian and not worthy of deep friendship.
"Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have different personalities, Zhang Yimou is introverted, Zhang Wei is flamboyant, they are complementary when combined, and the model of director and producer is very common in China."
Lin Zixuan commented, "With Zhang Weiping operating at the front desk, Zhang Yimou can make movies with peace of mind, but I always feel that their combination is not very stable, their personalities are too different, and sooner or later there will be conflicts." ” t1706231537:
