Chapter 1,102 The counter-tide of main theme movies
In fact, regardless of whether it is the main theme or not, the movie's routines have long been worn out after the movie has been developed for so many years.
Main theme movies are no exception.
Although today's main theme movies can be said to have evolved to the 2.0 stage.
Even if it is shoddy, it has begun to enter version 2.0.
The 1.0 version of the main theme movie is too perfect. The protagonist has almost no shortcomings, only advantages. It can be said that it is too far away from people and not down to earth.
For example, he never forgets to pay his dues before he dies, or he is not self-interested and only benefits others. Whether it is family, work, etc., he is almost flawless, etc., etc., it can be said that every hero is "perfected" "Yes.
Moreover, the meaning of preaching is very obvious, so it is often offensive to people.
Because it is difficult for people to regard these perfect heroes as real existences.
And what is the current version 2.0?
In fact, it's not new, it just imitates the Hollywood model.
The hero begins to have flaws and becomes more down-to-earth.
For example, there are some heroes who usually do nothing but dare to fight hard at critical moments.
It can be said that the protagonist of the 2.0 version of the main theme movie began to change from being a hero all his life to becoming a hero in an instant.
This mode was indeed very popular at the beginning, mainly because it formed a huge contrast with the protagonists of the past 1.0 version, making people feel more flesh-and-blood.
Back to business.
There were eighteen main theme movies in the first half of the year, but none of them could continue the highlights of the past two years.
Only three movies turned out to be profitable, and what’s even more surprising is that among the eighteen main theme movies, none scored higher than 8 points, only one scored higher than 7 points, and none scored higher than 6 points. There are only four.
The rest all failed.
And the comment sections of these movies are flooded with criticism.
"What the hell are you taking pictures of?"
"You came here for Lin Yunbin and Zhou Guo, and this is the result?"
"Under the guise of being comparable to "Wreaths Under the Mountain", I'm giving you face?"
Wait, wait, all kinds of hateful comments appeared on the Internet. For a moment, the main theme movie seemed to be knocked into the dust again.
This suddenly makes many people feel at a loss.
Especially for actors from big-name "main theme" movies like Lin Yunbin and Zhou Guo, it can be said that they encountered a lot of backlash for a while.
And it's not just that. Many fans don't criticize the director, they criticize the screenwriter, but only the starring actors, especially the more famous ones.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because many movie fans actually go to a certain extent because certain actors starred in this movie.
After all, not everyone is a director like Li Yi who can suppress big-name actors in terms of fame and appeal.
Therefore, when they feel that the movie is much lower than their expectations, they naturally blame these star actors immediately, because they watch the movie because they trust these star actors.
Island resort.
Chen Wen, Zhou Guo, Lin Yunbin and others made an appointment to get together here, and naturally Li Yi and Mu Qing were also invited.
However, Mu Qing did not come because she was busy with "Chi Ling".
This is indeed a good place for gatherings, especially for celebrities and actors like Chen Wen and others who are very recognizable. There is no need to worry about being recognized here.
Everyone was having a barbecue, drinking beer, and chatting, which was a rare moment of relaxation.
In fact, compared to directors like Li Yi, big stars like Chen Wen are much busier than Li Yi.
After all, they are the real public figures who face the front line, and they usually have to carry it even when they go out.
The domestic environment is still very different from that on Hong Kong Island.
Like those big celebrities on Hong Kong Island, they can carry vegetable baskets to the wet market to buy vegetables and so on, which makes everyone feel that celebrities are just like that.
But here in the mainland, this situation is almost invisible to you.
Because the environment does not allow it.
Hong Kong Island has few villains, but in its early golden age, it can be said that there were many stars.
However, the mainland has vast resources and a large population, so stars naturally fall into that small group.
After being recognized somewhere, it is difficult for people to stay calm. They often just watch and watch one by one, making it impossible for you to go shopping like ordinary people.
For this reason, many times, everyone can almost only see celebrities on some big and small screens, or at events.
In daily life, ordinary people rarely see those big stars.
Therefore, for this kind of private gathering, you should either choose some relatively private clubs, or this kind of resort far away from the downtown area.
Only here can you take off your mask and feel freer.
Li Yi actually doesn't have this concern. Comparatively speaking, the director's recognition in this aspect is still much weaker.
Everyone naturally started chatting about the recent Main Theme movie.
"Hey, don't mention it. It's a main theme movie. Let alone the general audience, we are all a little tired of it." Chen Wen took a few sips of beer and said with a wry smile.
Sometimes, although top actors like Chen Wen have the autonomy to choose scripts and roles.

However, I can't stand it anymore. The current situation of the entire market is that the main theme is hot.
Therefore, the scripts I receive are often of this type. Of course, there are also movies of this type, and the pay is too much.
"The recent situation is indeed not quite right. In fact, some movies themselves are of good quality, but after they were released, their reputation was extremely bad. The audience's tastes have changed so fast. The same type of movies could not box office last year.
The reputation has been great, but this year, everyone is shouting about it, and now I can’t even read Weibo.” Zhou Guo said with a helpless expression.
"I have recommended several projects, but I really don't understand. Why are there still so many projects with main themes in the first half of the year when there are so many movies with main themes?" Lin Yunbin asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"If you don't believe in evil, you think you are an exception! Moreover, how long has it been since "Wolf Warrior" won such a high box office? How can it be so easy for those people to recognize the reality?" Chen Wen curled his lips and said.
"By the way, Director Li, you are an expert in this field. Can you tell me what the reason is? Is it really just because of the main theme of the movie that the public has begun to get tired of it?" Zhou Guo couldn't help but look at Li Yi and asked.
Everyone else also looked at Li Yi.
Because Li Yi is famous for his unique vision.
In his place, there are no rules at all. When everyone thinks that love movies are not good, literary and pure love movies like "If Love Is Divine" can get high box office.
Moreover, Li Yi almost never failed in his attempts.
"It's not just about aesthetic fatigue. In fact, there are several Hollywood-themed movies every year, but after so many years, there is no such thing as aesthetic fatigue among the audience." Li Yi pondered for a moment and said.
Everyone was stunned for a while, then nodded.
Also, Hollywood's main theme movie routines are actually the same pattern, but there are still such movies every year, and the box office and reputation are not bad.
