Chapter 333 Get some energy

Li Mu glanced at the people participating in the discussion. Cao Huayi, the chairman of Xinli Media, was also present.

Brother Chen Kai naturally did his part and needed to participate.

Secondly, there are the presidents of various associations and professors from major colleges and so on.

Li Mu rubbed his eyebrows. These seminars were useless and would eventually turn into a commendation meeting.

"You and Lao Wu should attend."

Li Mu thought for a while and decided not to listen to people's praise. There was nothing new anyway.

"Ok."

Liu Weijuan nodded and retreated.

Recently, posts analyzing the director's style have become popular all over the Internet.

When watching movies, some people choose movies because of the starring role, while others choose movies because of the director. Of course, both film selection standards have their own advantages and disadvantages. Relatively speaking, the latter’s film selection standards are more guaranteed, and of course the difficulty is higher.

After all, no matter how good an actor is, as long as he is famous, he will inevitably take some bad movies for various reasons. After all, actors like Aunt May (Meryl Streep) who have a keen eye for scripts are so rare.

On the other hand, the styles of directors are generally relatively fixed, such as Tim Burton, David Fincher, Wang Jiawei, etc.

Ever since, a quick way to identify a director’s style has been circulated on Weibo.

For example, "The king is dead, the queen is showing off her red robe in the garden, it's Zhang Yimou", "The king is dead, the queen is letting doves in the garden, it's Wu Yusen".

Netizens have arranged for famous directors.

When it was Li Mu's turn, netizens were in trouble.

"Director Li, why don't you make up for it yourself."

"That makes sense. Director Li is here to have fun. You can summarize it for yourself."

"Hahaha, have you seen those netizens calling you?" Liu Yifei's phone call was filled with a sweet smile.

"I saw it, and I just wanted to summarize it for myself."

"The king is dead, the queen is playing with the shower in the garden, it is Tsai Ming-liang; the king is dead, the queen is monologue in the garden, it is Wong Kar-wai; the king is dead, the queen is planting cherry blossoms in the garden, it is Wei Desheng; the king is dead, the queen is crying It was Qiong Yao who knelt on the ground and said: "You don't want to die, you don't want to die, you don't want to die." When the king died, the queen played mahjong while holding a funeral, it was Wang Jing.

These netizens understand it so well, I think people in the industry may not be able to sum it up. "

"I have to think about it."

Li Mu chuckled, and then he posted on Weibo: The king is dead, and the queen dreamed that all the people in the kingdom were traveling in spaceships to the sea of ​​stars.

"Hahaha, it's very sci-fi. It's indeed very sci-fi."

"Very good, you have been added."

As soon as Li Mu finished posting, netizens started to get excited under the post.

I am still summarizing the styles of major directors, Eastern and Western, almost everything that can be summarized in one go.

""No Man's Land" produced by Mengying Media has been confirmed to be released to the audience in 2013."

This twists and turns movie has finally seen the light of day, and many fans who have been paying attention are a little happy and have sent out the long-awaited news.

Companies in the industry have secretly made a note of it, and try to stagger the schedules as much as possible. There is no need to compete with Mengying Media's movies.

Especially this movie has the aura of being banned. Who knows if many viewers will watch the movie because of this.

"When Chinese films are facing another round of squeeze from American films, and everyone is worried about today and tomorrow of Chinese films, "Painted Skin 2" and "Search", a commercial film and a literary film, have already attracted the audience after their release. After testing it with the market, it can be said that it has basically been successful.”

The results of the film symposium have also come out, and the media is reporting on this symposium on domestic films.

As Li Mu had expected, Liu Weijuan and Wu Ershan were both dumbfounded when they came back and explained the contents of the meeting to Li Mu.

Either talking about old stories or repeating old tunes, he then solemnly praised the contribution of the two films to the sluggish domestic film market this year.

Of course, this does not mean that such discussions are completely useless. For example, "Batman Begins: The Dark Knight Rises" unexpectedly "airborne" in August and was announced to be scheduled after the 3th. Many domestic films such as "Sad Fairy Tale" have seen the situation and postponed it. It will be released next month.

It indeed reflects the current lack of confidence and various problems in domestic films.

But the discussion is always superficial and fails to hit the core, which is really a bit formal.

For example, Han Sanping was much simpler and more direct, directly arranging for "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" to be released on the same day.

"Director Han, the Los Angeles Times has been criticizing you a lot."

Li Mu saw how Hollywood media reports were reproduced in China and was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"I've gotten used to it over the years."

Han Sanping doesn't care. He has been criticized too much at home and abroad in recent years.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this move was intentional, just to compete with American blockbusters and leave enough space for domestic films.

《普罗米修斯》和《敢死队2》更是压缩在了9月2日和9月7日上映。

This means that movie fans may have to digest four Hollywood blockbusters in two weeks. Industry insiders joked that the end of this summer will enter "Imported Film Protection Week."

But this is not the protection of domestic films. Of course, some people in the industry bluntly stated that this kind of film arrangement of "domestic film protection month" first and "imported films clustering together" will not be a positive inspiration for the film market, and called for a more reasonable arrangement of films in the future.

After all, this is equivalent to giving up the first half of September.

Everyone has their own opinions, but Hollywood is definitely not particularly satisfied.

“I hope domestic movies can gain some popularity.”

Han Sanping sighed and said, "I have been really miserable this year."

"Will do."

Li Mu said firmly.

"Let's see if "1942," which was released during the Lunar New Year, can show some improvement. Otherwise, the domestically produced films may not reach 5% this year."

Han Sanping didn’t pay much attention to Mengying Media’s “Thailand”.

Forget about the small budget, the main thing is that he is an unknown director. In his opinion, it only costs a few hundred million to survive, which cannot make up for much of the gap.

Li Mu also knew, smiled and didn't answer.

Feng Xiaogang didn't know what was happening here, but "1942" was actually scheduled to be released on November 11, the same day as "The King's Feast".

Reporters were extremely excited at the "1942" trailer press conference.

"Director Feng, is "1942" going to compete with "The King's Feast"?"

Feng Xiaogang was disdainful. He had to look at the schedules of other directors when deciding when to make the Lunar New Year film. Unless Li Mu and Zhang Yi were in a certain category, the others would be nothing.

However, when facing reporters, Feng Xiaogang did not say it directly.

"It would be more appropriate for "1942" to be the first shot of the New Year in December."

Although Feng Xiaogang said it tactfully, reporters would not add fuel to their reports.

"Feng Xiaogang bluntly said that "The King's Feast" is not suitable as the starter of the December Lunar New Year film."

"Feng Xiaogang, a veteran strongman versus a new director in the Lunar New Year festival. He bluntly said that he doesn't care about his opponent and should be shot by "1942"!"

Although Feng Xiaogang also saw the comments, he ignored them. Although the media added fuel to the fire, they were what he really meant.

Who deserves to be released on the same day as me?

Lu Xun's face was gloomy. He avoided "Painted Skin 2" but ended up with "1942".

"Who is afraid of whom?"

Lu Xun was also forced to be arrogant. After all, a few days ago he had vowed not to change the schedule until death. Naturally, it was impossible to change the schedule again. Doesn't that make him look cowardly?

The two movies "The King's Feast" and "1942" reflect the background of ancient times and the present. Because they were released on the same day, they aroused heated discussions among netizens.

"The Lunar New Year movies have joined the battlefield at a rapid pace."

"It's not bad to wait for Lu Xun to change his schedule and hide again."

Not to be outdone, "The King's Feast" also released a trailer and character promotion posters on the same day. The schedule has not yet come, and the battlefield of promotion has already seen smoke.

Mengying Media also announced the schedule of "囧囧". "囧囧" starring Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo will be released on December 2012, 12.

A new poster was also released. In the poster, Wang Baoqiang is sitting on a bench with a hedgehog bag in his arms and a cactus in his hand, leaning on Xu Zheng's shoulder. The brightly colored Thai station background blurs into a warm picture like an oil painting, which makes people feel lively.

I have to say that this release date is a bit particular, and netizens made fun of it, saying 2 is too much.

This is his first time directing, and Xu Zheng has shown how much he attaches importance to this work on different occasions:

"Although the story takes place in Thailand, we still want to make a down-to-earth film, which means 'making a successful film strictly in accordance with the standards of commercial films.'" He even regards "囧囧" as his "own child", He did not hesitate to “swipe the screen” on Weibo to promote it.

After Li Mu saw it, he gave it a like and forwarded it.

This effect was much more effective than Xu Zhuo's swiping the screen. After a while, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Director Li has such influence that one retweet is more useful than ten times you refreshed the screen."

Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng were doing publicity. After seeing it, they couldn't help but joked.

"That's also publicity for us."

"Tough talk, hahaha."

The 69th Venice Film Festival officially announced the shortlists for each section of the festival.

今年的威尼斯电影节将于8月29日到9月8日在水城举行，19部电影入围主竞赛单元，其中名家不少。

In the main competition unit, the United States has three shortlisted films: "Access to Wonderland", "At Any Means" and "Spring Breakers", extending Hollywood's offensive from Cannes to Venice. Takeshi Kitano's "Wicked 2" and director Kim Ki-duk's "Saint "Sorrow" is also on the list, but it is a pity that the Chinese film was not shortlisted for the main competition.

It is the first time in ten years for a Chinese-language film to be absent from the main competition.

But three films were shortlisted for the Horizon section.

Director Li Ruijun's "Tell Them I Ride on the White Crane", director Wang Bing's "Three Sisters" and Tsai Ming-liang's "Diamond Sutra" are short films that serve as the closing films of the Horizon Short Film Section.
