Chapter 57 Therefore, the times chose us!

Director Feng has taken himself more and more seriously since he filmed "Assembly" and "1942"!

Last year, the Directors Association’s commendation conference criticized China’s censorship system. It was arguing with variety shows and movies some time ago, and this time it jumped out to accuse the audience of being so stingy!

"The audience is the one who is poisoned by bad movies, and the audience who spends money and is scolded. The audience is really aggrieved! Being scolded by others!"

Chen Lin shook his head helplessly. By the way, Director Feng really felt like he was getting into the brain this time.

Without audience support, there is no room for living for junk movies, which sounds very reasonable.

According to this logic, if no one makes a garbage movie, where will the garbage audience support the garbage movies?

Whether there is a garbage audience first or a garbage movie first, it is as hard to tell whether there is an egg first or a chicken first.

However, as a director, it is probably unreasonable to regard this as a reason to make a junk movie with integrity and confidence.

Even if the aesthetic level of Chinese audiences is not high, they can still distinguish them well.

A true classic has never stood the test of time and the market, and has never suffered any losses.

The choice of stinky shit and flies is always two-way.

Flies like to stinking shit, yes.

But if you are a piece of stinky dog ​​shit, you have to say that it is because there are too many flies, then it is unreasonable.

As a director, it is not appropriate to not call on everyone to make more good works, but instead blame the audience.

It's really inappropriate!

No one likes to watch bad movies but not good movies. To put it in a sentence, Jiang Wen said: "It is not as difficult as people say that a good quality movie is. If your movie is bad, it is not the reason for others, but your own reasons! You may want to shoot bad movies deep in your mind, and then pretend to say all kinds of excuses, but in fact you keep going in the direction of bad."

...

On July 6, 2o14, the Magic City International Film Festival opened.

Chen Lin, who had not shown up for a long time, walked onto the red carpet with Ying Bao.

The reporters along the way followed various photos, and of course some asked questions, most of them asked again, "How do you view what Director Feng said about the audience garbage."

How could Chen Lin answer directly? He smiled without saying a word.

The organizer invited many big directors, including Chen Kexing, Feng Xiaogang and Jia Zhangke.

The Magic City International Film Festival is my country's first international A-level film festival. Every year, a large number of domestic and foreign filmmakers will take the film to compete for the Golden Gogh Awards.

Although the influence is not very large, it is at least an A-level film festival.

There are only 15 Class A international film festivals in the world, and China’s Magic City International Film Festival is one of them, and the Beijing Film Festival does not count!

It was very lively. Of course, Chen Lin knew not many directors and not many actors who were familiar with each other. However, Guo Xiaosi and Xu Zheng's appearance surprised Chen Lin a little.

After thinking about it, the "Tiny Times" series seemed to be still being released, so I figured it out!

After lunch break and having a meal, these people came to the middle of the lobby in the afternoon to talk to Chinese movies. The theme of this session is ‘Use the spirit of craftsmanship to create Chinese movies!’

I don’t know what’s wrong recently. No matter what you mention, I like to use ‘craftsman spirit’ as an adjective!

The interviewers were mainly Feng Xiaogang and Jia Zhangke, and Chen Lin and others were responsible for the auditor.

In fact, the organizer really wanted Chen Lin to say something on stage, and Chen Lin declined directly. He really didn't want to argue with Feng Xiaogang head-on at the forefront of this storm.

Unfortunately, things are not as good as others wish.

"Now many viewers complain that domestic movies are full of bad movies, and domestic movies are simply unstoppable!"

"The emergence of this phenomenon may be related to a large number of hot chicken audiences! I may offend you, but we think that if there were no hot chicken audiences, the producers would not have invested in hot chicken movies, and our domestic movies would have become better and better!"

"And there is another phenomenon now, that is, a bad movie. The more people scold, the better the box office will be!"

Feng Xiaogang became more and more excited as he spoke, and then talked about his new work "Old Cannon", "This is the first time I starred in a drama film, I think it's very good! We respect the audience! I made a movie to please myself, so I'm happy."

Water!

Do you call the audience trash and respect the audience?

Whether it was the audience or the media, they whispered. The key was that when Feng Xiaogang said this, his tone was very sincere!

"Director Feng, can I interrupt?"

Chen Lin couldn't help it: "I remember when you were promoting "1942", "I made movies to please myself, so I was happy."

"I don't understand your current mentality very well. Can those who please the audience be bad movies, and those who please yourself are good movies?"

"Is it a shame for a director to make a director who pleases the audience? Don't forget that audiences have to pay for tickets to watch movies. After all, it is a consumption behavior. If you are happy to make a movie, you can enjoy it yourself, and there is no need to put it in the market!"

Chen Lin couldn't help but ask directly.

Feng Xiaogang thought he didn't expect that Chen Lin was so arrogant and he was speechless for a moment.

"There must be problems in China's film industry, with weak creativity, shoddy production, unfair views, and exaggerated... These can be criticized. But I don't agree with the blame for "many garbage movies" on "many garbage viewers". After all, the current Chinese film industry is supported by the audience's ticket purchase behavior, so the producers of movies are inevitably going to cater to the audience's tastes. I filmed "Interstellar" and deliberately cut the family line for nearly 40 minutes short in order to gain more markets!"

"Our film market is indeed a bit deformed nowadays. This is a very realistic problem. You can blame this market, just like you can blame the screenwriter and actor, but you can't blame him. The audience needs to guide us filmmakers slowly! How to make the market benign requires step by step. When making a movie, you can consider both the audience and the quality of the movie. You have to say that most audiences cannot appreciate good movies. It is nonsense, and it is a good movie that the audience cannot enjoy. From the worst to the best, it may take a long way to go, but it cannot be like now: there is no worst, only worse, and not lower your lower limit, how can I make money?

It is really unnecessary to push the responsibility to the market and the audience! The market can be guided slowly, and do not overcorrect it, and do not ignore it!"

"Finally, let me add that the Chinese film market is booming. I have made four Chinese films with a box office of over one billion yuan, but no one has ever said that I made bad movies! Let's look at the top ten box office rankings, which one is bad movie?"

"A person imposes his understanding of a certain cultural form on the entire field either lacks thoughtful and rough logic or has hidden intentions."
