Coquettish Rebirth

If it was not Lao Mouzi who discovered all this at this time, but someone else, then someone might just open their mouths and ask Jia Hongjian why he made such a film.But Lao Mouzi is no one else, he is a dull bastard!So he really thought to himself without saying a word!In his opinion, this film has to be said to be good or bad...it seems to have both, let's start with the good ones, that is, the whole film is really funny!Because I didn't write the book with the purpose of learning from past mistakes to save people from future illnesses, I just wanted to be funny. All the plots of such a film are designed around being funny, and everything is to make the audience laugh!Of course it's good to laugh, right?But on the other hand, it is also because all the details revolve around being funny, which makes the main theme weaker.In art, it is always necessary to pay attention to a theme!Even if it is something like prose, it must pay attention to the form and spirit, and there must be a "central idea" and a backbone.Without such a backbone, no matter how beautifully written the article is, it will appear too scattered!

In Lao Mouzi's eyes, Jia Hongjian's film has this kind of meaning, because it is purely efficient for the sake of being funny, which makes the main idea disappear, and even the whole looks a bit messy.Is this really good?Lao Mouzi has received professional education, he is from a major, and his first feeling is that doing this...would it have a bad reputation?At that time, critics or colleagues in the industry will not criticize such a film because of various political reasons behind it, but will really criticize it because the film has no purpose at all!

To use a simple analogy, suppose that Lao Mouzi and the others are all literati.They are all writers, and the proses they write all have a backbone, and they all want to express some ideas.Even if you write an article about chicken soup for the soul, it still needs to talk about chicken soup for the soul, and it also needs to warm people's hearts, reminding people of family and love.These are the main points.As for such a movie by Jia Hongjian, it feels like a cross talk selection, like a joke book, it is the product of connecting jokes one by one.Although on the surface it seems that there is a connection between jokes and jokes.But the thinking behind this association is not uniform.So the first one is relatively scattered, and there is no muscle and bone!From the perspective of professional "writers", it is like someone in the market publishing a collection of jokes as a novel. Isn't this a big disgrace?Isn't this going to make "writers" jump their feet?Doesn't this make the "writers" feel uncomfortable?

So should he tell Jia Hongjian about it?In terms of his character.He didn't want to say it.But this is Jia Hongjian again.He can't help but say it!So after thinking about it, he tried his best to choose the best words and said: "Mr. Jia, your film... is very special. It feels... very sincere to make the audience laugh. The whole story is just to make the audience laugh." It was designed for laughing, right? Although after doing this, the whole seems to be a little loose..." When he said this, he really took care of Jia Hongjian's face, mainly praising Jia Hongjian, and on the other hand, he also saw him Point out the problematic parts, let's see if Jia Hongjian can understand such a hint.

But who knows that Jia Hongjian said happily as if he didn't understand at all: "Thank you. After all, I am not a professional. I am satisfied if I don't make big mistakes. If it is a little loose, it will be a little loose. Anyway, as long as the audience is happy, As long as the box office is high." Huh?When Lao Mouzi heard it at the time, he felt that he had guessed correctly. Sure enough, Jia Hongjian made this film just to make the common people laugh!Moreover, Jia Hongjian really valued the box office, so maybe he said anything to change the general situation in order to increase the box office!

At this time, the old man thought about it, and felt that he should "point" to Jia Hongjian, and he even felt that there were some things that could be said clearly, "Mr. The film critics may not give too much praise... You know, they have high standards, and they are all people who have watched too many art films. Ask them to evaluate your film, and they may be all kinds of critical... ..." Before the film "Hero" was released, even when writing the script, Jia Hongjian told Lao Mouzi that he might be scolded for political reasons.Such a reminder is very kind, so now Lao Mouzi feels that he is reciprocating, just reminding Jia Hongjian that he may also be scolded.

But who knew that Jia Hongjian was indifferent after hearing this, "It's okay, they can scold me as much as they like. I'm never afraid of others scolding me. The harder they scold me, the better. When the time comes, I will talk to them in the newspaper." After a lot of scolding, it immediately became more attractive to watch. My film was not made for the purpose of being a director. I made it to find a way out for young directors in our country and to slightly change the industry situation. It's..." Jia Hongjian really uttered such bragging words without blushing at this time!

These words were all excuses for bragging to the media before, and he only said them to the media, but now he said them in front of Lao Mouzi, which really made people feel a little embarrassed.But even though he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, Jia Hongjian's expression on his face was that he believed it was true, it really seemed to be an expression of thinking so!His expression really fooled Lao Mouzi, so he only heard Lao Mouzi ask in surprise, "Mr. Jia... are you really trying to... change the general environment?" This old Mouzi didn't have the nerve to ask Jia. Hung-chien really didn't say that to attract attention, but he really wanted to ask it!

"Really!" Jia Hongjian nodded his head as it should be, and his eyes deliberately expressed innocence and naturalness.It's not that he is so hypocritical and deliberately bragging to himself, but that he can't do anything!He can't say "Oh, how could I want to do such a noble thing, the main purpose of my shooting this film is to slap your face, just to prove that I am better than you, I can't do without you ……"Bar?After saying this, everyone doesn't even have to be friends, okay?So at this time, Jia Hongjian can only catch the ducks on the shelves and take the propaganda caliber as the real idea!

At that time, the old Mouzi was shocked when he heard this!What?Is Jia Hongjian serious?As for what?Are those words really not used to fool the media and the audience?Does Jia Hongjian really want to change the industry?When he was so surprised, he really stared at Jia Hongjian without holding back a word for a long while with his eyes wide open!Looking at the appearance of this old man, Jia Hongjian smiled and said, "I came back to China to make movies. To put it bluntly, I am here to make a contribution? If I really want to make money, how much better can I make in the United States? Why leave? Come to our country to make money? Although "Hero" is a high-income film, it can't even cover the cost in China. It is a box office of 5000 million U.S. dollars. I can get 5000 million in the United States, and there It's even more worry-free. I only need to pay the money, and I don't have to take care of the rest. In China, I have to take care of everything. Which one do you think is more convenient to make money?

The reason why I came back to China to make movies, I just feel unconvinced, why is the movie market in India better than ours!I know that when I went to the United States, in fact, the number of movies produced in the United States every year is not as large as that of India. India is still the third largest movie box office market in the world. After the United States and Japan, it is much more than China, and they also have the problem of piracy. Well, the ticket price is only 40 rupees, which is about one dollar... How can they develop well, and why can't we Chinese develop poorly?I am not convinced! "

To be honest, this matter was something that Jia Hongjian had come up with on a whim in the past two days, and he only learned about it piecemeal, but he didn't expect to use it now.He suddenly remembered Bollywood in India, as well as Indian films such as "Three Big Fools" in later generations. He suddenly wanted to know whether there is any pirated version in the Indian film market. People in India How did you develop in the face of the piracy market?As a result, after a little investigation, I was really shocked!India's annual film production is now approaching 1000 a year!An average of 3 movies a day!Moreover, the ticket price in the A-class urban market is only 1 US dollar, which is 8 yuan, and the ticket price in the C-class rural market is only 25 cents, which is 2 yuan. There are around $18 billion!And what about China?Generally speaking, it is about 10 billion yuan, or 1.2 million US dollars.The total box office in India is more than 10 times that of ours!Obviously everyone's population is not much different!

So Jia Hongjian became curious about the Indian film market, but he didn't know much about it yet.After all, there are almost no websites and data on the international research on the Indian market these days. After all, this is not 2012, and there are not so many websites with various data.So at most, Jia Hongjian learned a little superficial data, but he didn't expect that these superficial data would be useful now!

And after Jia Hongjian cited these examples and data, the old Mouzi looked at Jia Hongjian differently!At this time, he really felt that Jia Hongjian was a "revolutionary leader", like a wealthy overseas Chinese student who studied abroad, saw China's weakness in the early 20th century, and then returned to China regardless of everything to start a revolution Again, this is pure patriotism!This kind of spirit really touched Lao Mouzi, after all, what Jia Hongjian said was justified!He didn't understand the Indian market before, but after hearing what Jia Hongjian said, he felt unconvinced, so he could understand Jia Hongjian's impulsiveness!All of a sudden, this old man really admired Jia Hongjian, and he really regarded Jia Hongjian as the banner of Chinese movies...
