Chapter 23 Interview (Part 2)

The development history of domestic art films is accompanied by the fifth generation and the sixth generation of directors

The fifth generation director is called a master because the movies they make can see epic feelings, while the sixth generation director is much inferior, and they pay more attention to individuals.

Wang Xiaoshuai once said: Historical facts are of course important, but when an era does not recognize the importance of individual expression, it will ignore respect for individual life. We are all individuals who form this grand society respect individuals. The greatest historical facts are the most grand.

It's right, but overexpressing yourself will ignore the public

After all, for a movie, the aesthetics of a director are of course very important, but the public aesthetics are more important. If the public does not accept it, such a movie will be abandoned.

Just as Guo Degang said: 'You are an artist, you do art, but no one appreciates it, no one is willing to spend a penny on your art, then you deserve to starve to death!'

Unfortunately, the sixth generation director seems to be immersed in his fantasy world, and feels that people all over the world should appreciate his works.

So, after the sixth generation of directors came to the stage, domestic movies were no longer available, and the people couldn't understand what they were shooting

Fortunately, there were a group of Hong Kong directors, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others. In addition, Hollywood movies had not yet fully entered China, so they finally gave some room for Chinese movies to buffer.

This is also the main reason why Xu Huit hates those domestic art film directors.

You can't do the fucking filming, and you won't let it be said, and you still require all the filmmakers to shoot like this, otherwise you will be an alien!

Are you sick!

……

No, Sister Yang Lan, you can’t cheat me. What we are talking about is that the development of the film market should have commercial films, and the film itself should be popular. There is no question that anyone has hindered the market!

Xu Hui hurriedly denied Yang Lan

God knows how many people will be attacked if he nods

Then you just mentioned the art film...

We must respect the facts. The facts are that simple art films not only have no market in China, but even in France, which is known as the birthplace of New Wave movies, the most popular among the people is still Hollywood commercial films. France's annual movie box office can account for more than 80%. Our current data is almost up to this!

Yang Lan decided to change direction: But if you make commercial films as you said, how can domestic movies compete with Hollywood?

Give full play to our own advantages, we have our own history, we have our own oriental characteristics, I believe our audience will still appreciate our own movies more

What else does Yang Lan have to say? Xu Hui interrupted her: Speaking of this, I really have to thank the seniors. Without these seniors' efforts in the past five years, it is impossible for the audience to watch movies in theaters. They have cultivated a group of audiences who are willing to watch movies in theaters. What we have to do is to retain these audiences and attract more audiences on the basis of this.

So, you said at the beginning that you won’t be able to make art films for the time being, just asking to keep the audience?

right!

However, the market is blind. If we rush to make commercial films, it will be difficult for our film market to develop healthily.

Yang Lan started chatting, she felt that she had met an opponent

Already put aside my contempt

Originally, she thought Xu Hui was just the kind of director who was lucky enough to make a money-making movie

What ideas can a person who hasn't even attended college?

You are right. The film industry is naturally divided into commercial and artistic. Our market is very young. Basically, you can rush into whatever you make money. When you watch what type of films become popular, you will follow the trend without worrying about it! But don’t forget that the tastes of the audience will change. We must guide the audience instead of just cater to the audience.

Now the number of screens in China is only more than 6,000 yuan, and the annual box office is less than 5 billion. There are not many viewers willing to watch movies in theaters. After a few years, our market should expand several times. At that time, the market will allow art films to enter. By then, I believe that domestic films will usher in a real blooming of flowers.

Xu Hui said something he didn't believe in a bit against his will.

Until the end of 2017 before his rebirth, the Chinese film market was still the same, focusing on big data, big IP, and traffic artists...

Let's take a break first!

The two chatted for almost thirty minutes, and they were very tempted.

"Yang Lan Interview" is only about 30 minutes each episode. Xu Hui's recording is relatively long and is broadcast in total.

The specific playback time should be at the end of April, in line with the movie promotion

I interviewed Chen Kaige before, and he said that if the director has a very famous work, it will be difficult for the next work to remain calm. Do you have such worries?

I may not have a very famous work yet, so I have no worries for the time being

Don’t you think “The Embroidered Spring Sword” is a very famous work for you?

…To be honest, if I had to shoot it again now, I would definitely be better than the first time I did it. For me, the best work will always be the next one!

OK, you are awesome, okay!

Yang Lan suddenly felt that it was boring. When she discussed movies with a young king, she heard all the bragging words, so she decided to change the topic: Do you know some young directors in the mainland?

Well... I don't know much

If you were asked to give them advice, what would you give?

I?

Xu Hui thought about it and said: Try to think about the market as much as possible. Only by winning the market can you have the right to shoot the next movie.

But your first work is a martial arts film!

As we all know, martial arts movies have always been in a down-and-out way. There is no one else in the original time and space except for the old monster Xu who can play.

Er Dongsheng made a movie "The Sword of the Third Young Master" and lost the box office...

I think martial arts movies have always had a market, but they lack a good form of expression. In addition, we do not have a kung fu star who can hold the lead. I believe my works can solve these two points, so I have the courage to film "The Embroidered Spring Sword". After this "Those Years" is released, I should film martial arts again next!

Really, then we movie fans are going to look forward to it

……

After chatting for two hours, Yang Lan deserves to be a professional host. She digs a hole from time to time. Xu Hui needs to maintain 12% attention, otherwise she will be taken into the ditch.

Maybe she will show the unique sense of superiority of cultural people at some point. There is no way, she is indeed of good quality.

Walking out of the studio, Xu Hui took out his cell phone. When he was recording just now, he felt the phone vibrating and he kept holding back and not clicking it.

It was Liu Shishi's text message
