"Actually, I have a question that I haven't figured out yet. What is the difference between art films and commercial blockbusters you mentioned?" Ge You asked curiously.
At this time, Wu Jianye thought that there are no so-called commercial blockbusters in China now. The prototype of domestic commercial movies is probably "The Mysterious Big Buddha" filmed by Yan Film Studio this year. At the same time, "Peacock" starring Wu Jianye
"Princess" can actually be included in this category.
"From my own understanding, art films themselves have their own critical or experimental nature. They allow the audience to see their expressions of the world, society, life and other things from the perspective of film creators. At the same time, they are also
It is an experimental attempt at film art. In this regard, European films are relatively developed. For example, in the three major European film festivals, the best art films in the world are awarded every year."
"As for commercial blockbusters, the best ones now are of course American Hollywood movies. Of course, the current Hong Kong movies are also in this category. Commercial movies serve more ordinary movie audiences. They don't need this movie.
No matter how profound the educational significance or connotation is, the most important thing is that the tickets are worthy of the money spent by the audience."
No one noticed it at this time. They originally thought that they were the most knowledgeable about movies among the young people in China, but at this moment, they all felt like elementary school students, sitting here and listening to Wu Jianye talking about various aspects of the movie.
.
"Then what about these domestic movies?" Tianzhuangzhuang asked.
"Didn't I just say that? Domestic movies have just started. Although many of the movies you see now will cause the audience to rush to watch every time they are screened, it is just because people don't have more ways to entertain themselves. With the advent of TV
The popularization of movie theaters will definitely divert some of the movie audiences, or even a large part of the audience, and then you will have Hong Kong movies and Hollywood movies. Domestic movies still have a long way to go.”
"Why do I feel that there is a lot of pessimism in your words?" Chen Kaige heard the meaning of Wu Jianye's words.
"This is not pessimism, it is reality. The development of any emerging thing must go through such a process. Now we have many restrictions on watching domestic movies, but that is due to the current social background. For our country
The film industry is a barbaric land, and a barbaric land means barbaric growth. When the pace of the film industry expands further, many shoddy films will appear, which will definitely have a major impact on the domestic film industry.
, coupled with the problems I mentioned before, domestic movies are destined to take some detours!"
This is not an alarmist statement by Wu Jianye, nor is it Wu Jianye using the phenomena of a few decades to describe the current situation. In fact, in the domestic film industry in the mid-to-late 1980s, a number of shoddy and eye-catching movies appeared.
The movie appears.
The situation is no less than that of Hong Kong films in the late 1990s and domestic films in the new century.
At that time, film studios were no longer satisfied with just selling copies to earn profits from movies, but they had no way to change the country's regulations and could only produce a large number of various low-cost movies. The producers lost their enthusiasm for movies and all they wanted to do was
Rushing to finish the work and selling copies to make money, coupled with the country's imperfect system in the film industry.
"Fist plus pillow" and "Wen Shang Bing Wu Shang Fang" refer to the Chinese movies of that period. Although the directors or creators of those movies also had their own ideas, it is undeniable that they were really too ruthless.
The scale is so large that some young people of later generations simply cannot imagine...
It is precisely because of this series of circumstances that the development of domestic films came to a standstill in the 1990s. Although some film practitioners have contributed some high-quality films, such as Zhang Yimou's "Alive", "Red Sorghum", Chen
Kaige's "Yellow Earth" and "Farewell My Concubine".
But none of this can make up for China's shortcomings in commercial films.
"In a word, there is a long way to go for China's film industry. Your responsibilities will not be light in the future!" Wu Jianye picked up the wine glass.
Everyone was a little confused by Wu Jianye's remarks. Now everyone can say that they are passionate about movies and want to realize their ambitions, but Wu Jianye's current remarks are like a slap in the face to them.
"You don't have to be burdened. I believe that no matter how many detours we take, things will definitely develop on the right path in the end!" Wu Jianye put down his wine glass and smiled when he saw everyone was silent.
"What about you, Lao Wu, what do you think? Now that you have acted in movies and tried your hand at directing, what kind of films do you want to make in the future?" Chen Peisi asked.
Regarding Wu Jianye’s performance on the set, after Chen Qian came back, he treated Wu Jianye as someone else’s child and educated Chen Peisi. Therefore, although Chen Peisi met Wu Jianye for the first time today, he still had a negative impression of Wu Jianye.
The understanding of Jianye is not shallow.
At this time, everyone was looking directly at Wu Jianye. Unknowingly, Wu Jianye had become the center of everyone.
"Don't look at me like that, I'll be shy!" Wu Jianye laughed.
"Fuck!" This immediately aroused dissatisfaction from everyone.
"Everyone should be civilized, there are lesbians here!" Wu Jianye said, pointing to several women present.
"Old Wu, please tell me what you think and don't worry about us!" A girl said with a smile.
"Okay, since everyone has asked, I will tell you my own thoughts." Wu Jianye looked at everyone with a leisurely look, but when he saw that everyone looked like they were about to take action, he quickly said: "Actually, in my opinion, no matter what
It doesn’t matter if it’s a commercial movie or an art movie. In the final analysis, they are both made for the audience. It’s just that the audience for the two types of movies is different. I hope that I can make movies that I like in the future, and then this movie can make people watch.
More audiences like it, whether they are art film lovers or commercial film lovers."
"Of course, everyone sitting here will become the backbone of the domestic film industry in the future. I hope that everyone will show China's history and culture from a different perspective than before, and show Chinese movies to the world!"
"Tch, it's as if you didn't tell me. Who of us doesn't want to make a movie that he likes? It's so easy. You can't even get any money to make a movie!" Someone was dissatisfied with Wu Jianye's answer.
Wu Jianye shrugged. For him, the funding for making movies is really not a problem...
As for making movies he likes in the future, Wu Jianye didn't lie. In his opinion, so-called art movies are not so high-brow. They have to be made in a way that no one can understand.
It's really that low-level, different paths lead to the same destination, and it's all about telling stories.
Just like those who write online novels in later generations, he does not think that traditional literature represents high-level, while Internet literature is low-level. As long as you are happy writing books and reading books, it is fine. As for how to interpret it, that is the reader's business, not
The author's affairs.
It boils down to one sentence, just make a movie worthy of people watching it!
