Chapter 795: Garbage Audience
The young lady was interviewed by the media after the premiere.
Cheng Yu'an was so busy that he flew away after attending the premiere. Before leaving, he kept apologizing to various guests who came to meet him.
Qin Hailu accompanied Liu Yifei for an interview.
There are still only a few topics to talk about, interesting things about the crew, how it feels to be in a literary film for the first time, what are your expectations for the movie, whether you will make another literary film in the future...
The two of them dealt with it very calmly.
But some familiar reporters asked strange questions:
"You need to smoke and drink in movies. Do you have any special training?"
Liu Yifei replied: "Yes, I didn't know how to smoke before. I learned to smoke specifically for this role. As a result, my daughter ignored me for two months and kept saying that her mother smells bad."
Liu Yifei knew what she was going to ask next, so she took the initiative and said, "I will throw away all the cigarettes after filming."
"Then do you know how to drink?"
"I'll have a drink with Teacher Cheng at home."
"How's your drinking capacity?"
"It's not good, just one cup will hurt your face."
The reporter immediately scolded: "Then you still drink!"
Liu Yifei also immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."
Qin Hailu was amused: "Are you blaming her? It's like an old mother teaching her disobedient daughter."
The reporter and Liu Yifei both laughed. Liu Yifei explained: "The one in our family is delicious and has collected a lot of good wine. I occasionally drink with him."
It's acceptable to drink occasionally. The media has taken photos of Liu Yifei drinking before. Fans didn't care, but they didn't accept Liu Yifei smoking.
The grand premiere was reported immediately and aroused heated discussion.
"The press conference of "The Little Princess" at the Shanghai International Film Festival, the cool silver-haired Liu Yifei is here!"
"The premiere of "The Little Princess", Liu Yifei: Never refuse literary and artistic films"
"Liu Yifei's performance in "The Little Princess" was praised and the audience said they were pleasantly surprised!"
"Little Princess" received relatively high attention in the main competition section.
However, the news of the movie's premiere did not successfully occupy the headlines. The one on the headlines was Feng Xiaogang.
"Feng Xiaogang blasted the film industry: There are so many junk movies because there are junk audiences!"
On the day of the premiere of "The Little Princess", Feng Xiaogang participated in the film festival's "Using the Spirit of Craftsmanship to Create Chinese Films" forum and talked about the current depression in the Chinese film market (last year's results were indeed not good). He said directly:
"I just mentioned that there are a lot of garbage movies. This is what the audience likes to say. Is it because there are a lot of garbage viewers that there are so many garbage movies? I think (this) may offend everyone here. Chinese movies are now so
It makes the audience feel like they are complaining and there is garbage everywhere. It must have something to do with the large number of garbage viewers, right?
"If you don't support him, he won't have room to survive. Then the producer won't make this trash movie. Often trash movies have high box office."
When talking about the relationship between the director and the audience, Feng Xiaogang also has his own opinion: "What does it mean to respect the audience? What is the relationship between the audience and the director? It is such nonsense to say that the audience is the god of the director. The audience should be the director's opponent.
In my opinion, it is how can I conquer you and do this well with my greatest sincerity? I think this is the greatest respect for the audience. So I still wonder if the director should not treat the audience as a fool.
It is better to treat the audience as an opponent, a very difficult opponent to deal with. Respecting the audience's heart and feelings is two different things than respecting the money in the audience's pocket. They are two kinds of respect."
In the end, he ended humorously: "Hey, I've almost made it in this time."
The whole crowd laughed.
If Cheng Yu'an were present, he would definitely refute Feng Xiaogang, at least his first half of the point.
In the second half, it actually makes sense for him to treat the audience as his opponent, and each director has his own understanding of the relationship between the director and the audience. This is nothing worthy of criticism.
Later, Professor Dai Jinhua, who was on the same stage, disagreed with Feng Xiaogang's view. She believed: "The responsibility certainly does not lie with the audience, but with the high degree of monopoly of film and television capital."
"Too many theater chains have the right to speak. The high degree of monopoly has resulted in limited choices for the audience, and the audience itself is passive and helpless."
This is of course partly due to the unprofessionalism of these monopoly capitals.
It can’t be said that they are unprofessional, but they are unwilling to be professional. Do you want to say that they really don’t understand what is good and what is bad? I’m afraid not.
But when two popular celebrities can make money by filming a bloody plot, are they really willing to make a drama "professionally"?
You make a movie professionally, and the director, director, and actors work hard for three years, and you still don’t know if you can make money after it’s released.
I’ve been in ten dramas in three years!
One of my dramas made a profit and I made a lot of money, so my other nine dramas were not in vain.
A director watching a movie is different from an investor watching a movie.
Of course, Feng Xiaogang's complaint is understandable.
"1942" was filmed really well, but it was a pity that it failed miserably at the box office.
"Private Customization" is nothing but selling money.
Any director would have complaints.
But this does not become a reason for Feng Xiaogang to spray rubbish on the audience indiscriminately.
"It's not that I'm maliciously speculating on him," Cheng Yuanyuan, who was far away in the grassland of Mongolia Province, mentioned this matter during a morning meeting with the crew the next day, ""Youth" is about to be released, and he must be firing at this time to
To promote the movie. Just wait and see, he will definitely have more tricks up his sleeve at this year's film festival."
After talking about the external affairs, I returned to the preparations for "Mulan".
The ground connection here in Mongolia Province is very good, the horses and related props have been contacted, and the number 500 men from Mongolia Province that Cheng Yuan wants are also actively contacted.
Yuan Yuan has a good relationship with the northwest film and television circles. Almost all the outdoor scenes of the "Painted Skin" series were filmed in the northwest. Ning Province Film Studio still receives a large share of the "Painted Skin" series every year; due to the filming of "The Martian"
》The real scene built in Hongya, Qingdao Province has now become the only Mars simulation base in the country. More than one million tourists come here every year to travel and do science education, which has boosted the local tourism industry; "The Legend of Mi Yue" is launched in the grassland;
Urshan and Su Lun are both from Mongolia.
The most important thing is that Cheng Yuan is also from the northwest.
Just as he was talking, the crew coordinator called him: "Director, someone is looking for you."
"Who?"
As soon as Cheng Yuan finished speaking, the visitor came in.
"Xiao Cheng, you are not very interesting. You came to Mongolia and didn't come to see me." The person who spoke was a middle-aged aunt with a kind face.
When Cheng Yu'an saw the visitor, he smiled and hurriedly took two steps to hug him: "Ouch, why are you here?" The visitor was Mr. Miles, a famous director in Mongolia Province, a big star in the northwest film and television industry, focusing on Mongolia.
theme.
"If I don't come, you won't come to see me either." Miles smiled.
"I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm too busy." Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "I also said that I would see you after these two days of work."
"When I look at you, you don't mean what you say. How can you be willing to come see me?"
"It's not okay if you tell me this." Cheng Yu'an joked, "I won't be able to leave by then."
"Hahahaha!" Miles smiled, "Here, let me introduce you to my daughter."
"No introduction is needed," Cheng Yu'an said, "The most promising graduate of the 11th-level directing master class, how could I not recognize him?"
"Hello, senior brother." Although Degena is only 2 years younger than Cheng Yu'an, there is nearly 10 years difference between them.
"Your class is not easy. You and the beauties have come out. Zeng Zhen is following Su Lun now, or who is it?"
"Zijing, teaches at the Shanghai Film Academy and writes books herself." Degena added.
"This is the star class." Cheng Yu'an said.
Mai Lisi and her daughter stayed in the preparation team for a while. They heard that the crew was still looking for tall and strong men from Mongolia. Mai Lisi came over and said, "What's the problem? I'll find it for you. I'll give you one thousand by the end of this month."
people."
"There are more than a thousand people."
"It's not much. If you want to make the war scene bigger, let's make it bigger. We don't need these few hundred people." Mailis said boldly.
