At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 229 A wave of scolding (44) (Happy New Year)

Well, a group of so-called 'experts' organized a seminar on 'Analysis of Zhang Yi's Film'...

Then, a bunch of titles came out: "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" are not up to Zhang Yimou's level;

Zhang Yimou bowed his head for money too formally, and scholars scolded him mercilessly;

The cultural circle "crusades" Zhang Yimou, claiming that his works lack imagination;

By the way, there is also '"Hero" is the concentrated expression and explosion of Zhang Yi's cultural necrophilia";
There is no cultural circle, this seminar is actually a publicity for the opening of a plastic surgery hospital...

Those who make statements are plastic experts and the like, even if there are people in the cultural circle, they are all fringe figures!
Clearly, the hype!

A bunch of jumping beam clowns will do everything in order to gain a position...

But the media is willing to report, thus, causing a wave of condemnation by the whole people!

Even if the quality of the subsequent "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" was good, there were articles like "The Wonderful Game of Opportunist Zhang Yimou" circulated...

During that time, criticizing Zhang Yimou was the mainstream!

But this matter is a good thing for "Lost Orphan".

The media doesn't care about the subject matter of "Lost Orphans" at all, they just want to report on the head-to-head confrontation between you and director Zhang Yimou!

Even knowing the subject matter and genre of "Lost Orphan", it is impossible to sell "House of Flying Daggers", but there is still a wave of hype...

Who knows when the next head-on battle will be?
Theaters are also willing to cooperate with marketing and publicity...

Only when there is enthusiasm, people will care, and only when people care, will people buy tickets!

I count on a few popular movies to make some money all year round...

Of course, Shen Xudong doesn't know this, he only knows that "House of Flying Daggers" has a lot of bad reviews, and the current situation is beneficial to "Lonely"...

Feng Xiaogang knows these things very well, so during the interview, he tried not to mention "House of Flying Daggers" - even if he didn't mention it, the media would report it!

I didn't expect Shen Xudong to say something like 'at least 3000 million box office'...

He spoke directly from his heart!

On the surface, he was very angry, but in fact he was secretly happy...

……

In the subsequent publicity, the media and reporters mentioned 3000 million...

Of course, the protagonist became Feng Xiaogang, after all he is the director!
After the reunion, Shen Xudong didn't have many chances to show off at first, but... from the third round onwards, the reporters were more willing to chat with him!

Because what he said was interesting and logical!

"The figure of 3000 million refers to the number of movie viewers exceeding one million. I think that with Director Feng's appeal, a million people are still no problem..."

"Some netizens said that the subject matter of 'Lost Orphan' should not be directed by three film directors like Feng Xiaogang. What do you think?"

"On the contrary, I think Feng Xiaogang is the most suitable director. A film that exposes serious social problems. Most audiences pay attention to it, not because of its artistic height, but because of its breadth of dissemination.

Commercialization means more consideration for the audience, so it is undoubtedly more popular, understandable, and easy to enter, which means that many people will buy it, which is what this type of film needs most.

It needs to be seen and talked about by as many people as possible.It is the biggest mission of "Lost Orphans" to let others face up to and pay attention to the problem of child trafficking. "

"Consumption suffering? Then according to this, there should be no movies at all!"

You see, each one is enough to hit the headlines, but it was still compared by Feng Xiaogang. Although he said modestly in private that 'the subject matter is different, there is no comparison', but in the actual publicity, he still said, 'I really want to be an artist. Mr. Mou cut away half of "House of Flying Daggers". '

Besides, Feng Xiaogang revealed proudly that he will cooperate with Gong Li in three films next!
"Party A and Party B 2", "A World Without Thieves", "Mobile Phone 2"...

"It was introduced by Xudong...he has a good relationship with Gong Li..."

Thanks to Director Feng for staying in Germany, he didn't say anything messy...

As for the media...

It is impossible for any normal media to make Ji Ba guess because of Feng Xiaogang's statement, "they have a good relationship". Do you think it's Song Zude?
The main point of the report is; Feng Xiaogang and Gong Li have booked three works!
Gong Li can be said to be the number one female star in the Mainland. She has cooperated with Amou and Poetry Master, and they are all at their peak!

Now working with Feng Xiaogang...

What does it mean?
Anyway, a lot of reporters wanted to know Zhang Yimou's opinion, but unfortunately, Mou was in Athens and couldn't find anyone else at all, but Zhang Weiping took the initiative to say, "This has nothing to do with us, whoever Gong Li wants to cooperate with is her freedom!" '

By the way, he also blasted Feng Xiaogang, "It's better to be sincere, don't think that with Gong Li, it will be great!" '

Then, the excited reporter ran over to find Feng Xiaogang and asked him to respond...

What is this called?
Challenge things, media reporters like to scold, and when there is scolding, there will be sales!
Of course Feng Xiaogang was angry, but he rarely shut up and did not respond... How should I put it, Feng Xiaogang probably admired Zhang Yimou, "I Dedicate My Youth to You", and sharply commented on several major directors.

Comments on Wang Jiawei: I am most annoyed by Wang Jiawei, we are not familiar with each other and there is no conflict.I think it's the emperor's new clothes. If you don't have a script and you're filming a movie, he can only fool foreigners—you can't fool people.If he is really capable, write a script and show me!In this society, there are so many people who like to flatter others, and often stick their hot faces to their cold asses;
Comments on Poetry Master: Director Chen is most suitable to stay in an ivory tower. I feel that Director Chen has a halo behind his head. His things are suitable for future generations to use as historical research...

What I said, it seems that what Director Chen is shooting is not in line with the current situation.

But he didn’t write about Zhang Yimou, partly because of respect—the documentary "Feng Xiaogang Someday in 2000" said, "In my eyes, Zhang Yimou and I are different, and we both belong to our own "hack and kill" When it comes out, there aren't many people to help you, and you can't point it out. '

On the other hand, he previously commented on "Hero" as "no tension, no connotation", and then he was bombarded by Zhang Weiping in various ways...

Feng Xiaogang made a big statement, 'Director Zhang has been preparing for a BJ in Athens for 8 minutes, so let's not bother him! '

Journalists are helpless...

It's all like this?You don't respond either?
Are you too cowardly?
Then I tentatively asked Shen Xudong his opinion on this matter...

Shen Xudong watched the whole trip, his mood was the same as that of the reporters, he was very disappointed: Xiaogang, you have to stand up, are you worthy of the nickname of "Small Steel Cannon"?
I have to come!

Shen Xudong is full of fire: "I read reports that Er Zhang ushered in the era of blockbuster films, and I wondered. Isn't the investor and producer of "Hero" Jiang Zhiqiang from Hong Kong? How did he become Zhang Weiping?"

"Jiang Zhiqiang invested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before and has experience in operating related genres, so I can understand his investment in "Hero"..."

"I really don't know who this Zhang Weiping is...do you know what he does?"

"It doesn't matter what he does...without director Zhang Yimou, he's just an ass. I've never seen such a capable producer. Does he understand movies? Does he understand the market?"

　The Wandering Earth 2 173 minutes…
