Chapter 553 Director Guo won the award

In the industry, as "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" has been released for more than a week, the average daily box office of the film has dropped rapidly, just as many big directors predicted.

Generally speaking, if the first-day box office of a movie exceeds 50 million.

Then its box office performance in the first two weeks will definitely be very strong. Under normal circumstances, the total box office will reach more than 5 million.

But it is not the case with "Tian Ji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

After the first week, although the total box office reached 2.6 million, the daily revenue had dropped by million. In just seven days, the daily box office dropped to one-tenth.

So, Liu Dehua, the protagonist, was in trouble. No matter where he went to promote the "Blind Detective" crew, he could not escape the issue of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

In the words of the industry, "Blind Detective" has already lost three points before it even debuted, thanks to Liu Dehua's output.

.........

In the blink of an eye, it was the 21st and the Film Bureau brought good news that the domestic box office exceeded 120 billion, and domestic films accounted for more than 65% of the box office.

The industry is very excited to see this result. As for why.

One reason is naturally that the higher the total box office of the film industry, the more "hot money" it can attract.

However, this hot money is not from coal bosses, but funds from the financial and Internet sectors are quietly coming in.

After all, after ten years of development, the coal bosses are still able to sustain investments.

Or maybe they really love movies and are committed to making "positive energy" films.

Or they are really rich, with so much money that they can't spend it all and are burning it like crazy.

Secondly, when the number of imported films increased from 20 to 34, everyone was so scared that they couldn’t sleep.

But not long after that, the situation has changed dramatically. The box office of mainland movies continues to be refreshed, which makes everyone full of confidence again.

The film industry is doing very well, but the television industry is not so good.

The anti-Japanese movement in Mount Wutai was directly taken as an example for rectification.

The General Administration not only immediately removed the product from the shelves, but also banned it.

However, people in the circle and netizens all applauded, saying that such shocking things should not exist.

Speaking of which, this TV series is also very cunning, as it is broadcast on small local TV stations.

It wasn’t broadcast on TV, and most people wouldn’t have known about it if it hadn’t been launched online.

.........

As time passed, the 16th Shanghai Film Festival officially closed.

However, this film festival still has some "explosive points", such as the Film Channel Media Awards, which include "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and "Tiny Times" shortlisted.

In the end, Guo Xiaosi beat out many well-known directors in the industry and won the Best New Director award. How explosive do you think this news is?
It was a slap in the face to many new directors in the industry.

The Shanghai International Film Festival has now become a laughing stock in China.

The media didn’t know how to report it because happiness came so suddenly. This result made this film festival so popular.

Sina Entertainment, Sohu, Penguin and other major media outlets have used words like "unbelievable" and "incredible" to describe this incident.

In the capital, in the office on the sixth floor of China Film Group.

Wuershan was leaning back on the sofa, in front of him were the heads of the film studios including Han Sanping, Xiying, and Ningying.

Since it was not a formal meeting, everyone was very casual, drinking tea, chatting, and the scene was lively.

As a hot topic in the industry these days, Director Guo won the Best New Director award.

“Haha, this Shanghai Film Festival is really going backwards. When Wu Ershan’s Painted Skin series won such a high box office, there was no talk of giving a big award. But this time, it was given directly to a movie that hasn’t even been released yet…” The person in charge of the Western Film Festival had something to say, and on the surface he felt that Wu Ershan was being unfair.

Actually, what it means is that the circle in Shanghai is not good. It is right for "Painted Skin 3" to refuse to be shown in the movie this time. It is best not to cooperate with the other party in the future.

“Yes, the threshold for becoming a director is getting lower and lower now, anyone can get in.

Director Han, you can also raise this matter with your superiors. How can you do this? It's simply nonsense." Ning Ying's person in charge spoke more directly.

Han Sanping was a little speechless. He shook his head and sighed, "Alas, given the national situation, the Magic City has indeed gone too far this time..."

All I can say is that Han Sanping is worthy of being the chairman of China Film Group. This answer fully saves face for the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Moreover, this set of rhetoric is simply a panacea, and it seems that it can be used everywhere.

Wuershan, on the other hand, looked calm, as if he had seen through it.

Because, in addition to the Best Director award given to Guo Xiaosi, the most incredible thing is that the upcoming "Tiny Times" actually won the Best Picture Award in the Film Channel Media Awards module.

This is a joke.

Without mentioning the three outlooks problems of "Tiny Times", how can a movie win this award before it is even released?

This can only mean one thing: either this movie is a masterpiece, or this film festival is rubbish.

As for which the answer is, the ridicule from the industry and the media has already given the answer.

"Mr. Han, several leaders, let's talk about the casting of the movie." After listening to everyone's complaints for a while, Wuershan brought up the business.

After hearing this, several people immediately became excited. After the script of Painted Skin 3 passed the review, a media in the industry published a post that was very interesting.

"If the Painted Skin series is a film from the heyday of Hong Kong cinema, I believe that within a month, a variety of low-cost fantasy films will appear on the market.

Just like when "A Better Tomorrow" came out, it attracted countless gun battle films to follow suit.

"God of Gamblers" was a huge hit, and characters such as the King of Gamblers, Gambler's Bully, Gambler's Ghost, Gambler's Saint, and Gambler's Knight appeared on the screen one after another, stirring up the film industry and causing box office disputes.

However, Hong Kong films are gone, and Chinese films have entered a new era dominated by mainland films. Although there are still follow-up phenomena, they are not as crazy and obvious as in the Hong Kong film era.

But what followed was the re-heating of leftovers, from the original "All's Well That Ends Well" to the current "The Man from Macau", all of which show that Hong Kong films have fallen to the bottom..."

The reason why this post was widely forwarded and reported by the media was naturally due to a new round of disputes that started between Mainland China and Hong Kong Island some time ago.

Although almost a month has passed, the popularity has not decreased much.

This time, many Hong Kong directors and filmmakers, including the media, began to recall the past.

The golden age of Hong Kong movies was reported again, which meant that although mainland movies now have high box office, it is because the market has improved, not the credit of mainland directors and actors.

So, the mainland filmmakers who couldn't stand it wrote a post to mock the other party.

To be honest, when it comes to the phenomenon of copying trends in the mainland film market, although it does exist, it is definitely not as serious as everyone thinks. For example, even though "Wolf Warrior 2", "Red Sea", "Detective Chinatown 2", "The Mermaid", "Dying to Survive" and other films have all exceeded billion yuan, there have not been too many similar copycat films immediately.

Because the bigwigs of the film and television companies in the industry know that the success of these films is due to many unrepeatable factors.

.........

circle.

The Shanghai Film Festival closed on the 26th, and "Tiny Times" was officially released on the 27th.

I have to say that LeTV Group’s publicity and promotion team is really capable.

It can be said that in late June, most of the headlines in the entertainment industry were occupied by Guo Xiaosi.

So much so that Deng Chao's "Breakup Master", which was also scheduled to be released on the 27th, was completely overshadowed by the other party.

After Guo Xiaosi won the Best Director award, many directors started to criticize him.

What is being said over and over again is that this guy is not a director at all, even though he has already made a movie.

After hearing these words, Guo Xiaosi could no longer sit still, after all, this guy had such a strong personality.

Afterwards, he accepted media interviews in his mansion in Shanghai and allowed the media to visit.

The three views reflected in the interview content may make some people feel uncomfortable.

On success: "To be successful, you have to start from scratch, rise all the way to success, and finally stand at the pinnacle of wealth and status."

About partners: "The basis for cooperation between two people must be that both parties can make money, not just being good buddies."

On money: "My mother and I both sign contracts. Unexplained interests do not exist in my life."

He even said frankly that he remembered a foreign media saying that the Chinese dream he embodied was the same as the American dream.

The core of his Chinese dream is to be successful, and he never hides his material wealth.

But it's not without reason. This person is too conceited.

At the interview site, Guo Xiaosi gave people the feeling that he was a bit like Master Duan Shuiliu in "King of Destruction". He was not targeting anyone, but just felt that some of the great directors of previous generations had failed frequently and seemed a bit rubbish!

“Why do we see many great directors occasionally fail? It’s because the audience in the Chinese film market has changed from one generation to the next.

In 2009, the average age of moviegoers was 25.7 years old, but by 2013 it had become 21.7 years old.

At 21, I am a college student. If I still use the ideas of the previous generation to make movies, there will be problems..."

Guo Xiaosi talked eloquently into the microphone, while the others couldn't bear to watch. This kid was too bold. Although the film industry does not value inheritance and seniority as much as other art industries, as a young director, if you step on the older generation of filmmakers like this, it will cause a lot of disgust.

Well, actually Guo Xiaosi couldn’t help it either.

To be honest, he really doesn't like those movies that pretend to be profound, which are obviously meant to teach you morals and make you understand what human nature is and what is profound.

Is the primary mission of movies to educate people? Is listening to crosstalk for learning? What truths should we understand by watching Uncle Ben San's skits, Mr. Bean's comedy, and Mr. Jin Yong's novels? No!
In fact, there were a lot of things to say, but after thinking about it, Guo Xiaosi felt that there was no need to say them.

Under normal circumstances, an adult's three views are difficult to be influenced and changed, except in the case of pyramid schemes.

Even if he launched a barrage of attacks on the forum, saying that Zhang Yimou's films were pretentious, Chen Kai's were vague and confusing, and Jiang Wen's were obscure and unclear.

It's not just a way to create some hype before the movie is released.

...

Guo Xiaosi spoke happily today, but someone made him unhappy the next day.

One day before the release of Tiny Times, a cinema in the capital held a promotion and put up a large billboard with a 1:1 ratio of Guo Xiaosi on it. It said that if you are shorter than Guo Xiaosi's 1.50 meters, you can see the movie at half price.

At the same time, news of the completion of The Revenant came back from the Hollywood media...

Now, everyone in the circle looked at Gu Wei who was about to return to China...
