The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 240 Prospects
After the three of them took turns joking.

Ning Hao smiled: "At present, our domestic film industry is not perfect enough. When the construction of cinemas reaches saturation, the number of movie audiences and box office growth of various types will slow down, and a relatively stable situation will gradually form. By then , if you can still get high box office, then you are really good. Now is the period of pioneering, and getting this result doesn't mean anything."

He knew in his heart that his results were full of luck, all because he followed the right path.

As domestic films become more market-oriented, many genre films have emerged.

Among these genres, comedy is currently the most likely to do well.

One reason is that the cost is relatively low, there is no shortage of investment, and small things can make a big difference. The other reason is that it can meet the entertainment needs of the audience.

Ning Hao understood that he had taken a shortcut, even though he always claimed to the outside world that what he filmed was not comedy, but the absurdity of life and black humor.

But the essence of comedy remains the same.

Probably because he was drunk, he talked too much tonight, and continued: "To be honest, I feel that there is a problem in the domestic film market. It focuses too much on box office and ignores content."

Lu Yuan glanced at him without comment.

Ning Hao is 32 years old this year. He is rich and famous because of the great success of the "Crazy" series.

According to the thinking of most directors, after gaining fame and fortune, they will definitely make a film they want to make, and they want to try to explore and improve in different fields.

Lu Yuan heard Ning Hao self-criticize "Crazy Racing" many times, saying that the film was not from the perspective of film creation itself, but from the perspective of the market.

He has a certain pursuit of art, which is also the main reason for the establishment of the "No Man's Land" project.

But in the final analysis, movies are an industry, a business, and a commodity. Survival is the first thing to consider.

In the past, there were dozens of film studios in the country, almost every provincial unit had one, but all of them disappeared.

Because movies cannot sell for money, they will be eliminated by the market, including Hong Kong Island and the previous film companies in Wanwan.

Huang Bo was not polite, rolled his eyes and immediately retorted: "You are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry a man is. If you don't have box office, who will invest in you?"

Ning Hao ignored it and thought to himself: "I think if a movie only grosses 3000 million at the box office, but 90.00% of the audience thinks it's good after watching it, then it's worth it."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said: "On the contrary, if it sells for [-] million, and the audience will say after watching it, 'This idiot is using us as second-stringers to fool you,' then it is better not to film it."

"Yes, movies are an art after all. They explain life and explore life. The core cannot be lost." Xu Zheng agreed.

Lu Yuan was surprised. He really didn't realize that this bald man was also a bit pursuing.

Ning Hao nodded: "Yes, after all, a movie is a cultural product. If its core cannot be extracted, it will be empty, empty, and meaningless."

"puff."

Lu Yuanqi opened a bottle of beer, filled it for the three of them, and said: "This is the truth, but as capital gradually enters the market and the era of commercial blockbusters begins, the phenomenon of profit-seeking will become more and more serious. Box office is everything and cannot be avoided."

He admits that film is an art.

The value of art cannot be measured by money, but it most needs money to maintain it.

Whether to please the mass market or insist on being yourself, this is ideal and reality.

Since Zhang Yimou's "Hero" in 2002, times have changed. Affected by many factors, many directors' original intentions and concepts in making movies have been ruthlessly crushed by the tide of the times.

The saddest thing about domestic movies is that capital continues to establish its power, set rules and patterns.For the market, it is right to be vulgar. As long as it is vulgar, it can dance with the RMB.

Ning Hao was startled, shook his head, and continued: "So, I wonder if we should try another way. Good movies are not just 'artistic films', they can arouse people's emotional resonance, deeply reflect real problems, and have With a certain artistic level and no vulgar taste, a movie like this is no different."

"That's good, but it's against the rules." Someone added.

"."

"If I have the ability, I hope to find a group of like-minded people to make movies together in the future, so that they can make the stories they want to make. I will not interfere in their creation, but will only give them some appropriate suggestions and support."

"If given the opportunity, I would choose to train new people, not to train a second or third Ning Hao, but to train more creative young directors of different types. They may have many different new ideas, each with their own ideas." If you have areas of expertise, then domestic films will not be like a stagnant pool of water."

As the plane passed through the clouds, Lu Yuan looked at the blue sky, but his mind kept repeating the drunken words Ning Hao said last night.

I was a little touched and thought more about the future and the industry.

Huang Bo flipped through the magazine, noticed his expression, and asked, "Why do you look so distracted? Are you anxious to see your little girlfriend?"

Lu Yuan turned his head, looked him up and down, and finally stopped at his waist and said, "They say women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. If we haven't seen you for two months, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will eat you alive, Brother Bo. Are you fully prepared?"

The corner of Huang Bo's mouth twitched slightly, he covered his face with the magazine, and fell back as if he was helpless.

Lu Yuan patted his shoulder sympathetically and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I'll take a few days off. I'm too tired from shooting in No Man's Land. Ning Hao is really nothing. After taking a break, I joined the team in mid-April. The company helped me pick up a few scripts."

Lu Yuan ignored the previous complaints and gave a thumbs up: "You are really a model worker."

Although Huang Bo is not the most dazzling actor in "Crazy Racing", by virtue of his status as the male lead, he has become the third actor after Ge You and Zhang Hanyu to have a box office of over [-] million in the Mainland. He doesn’t want too many notebooks.

Huang Bo shook his head: "Unlike you who became famous at a young age, I was used to being hungry. Now I want to take a bite of everything and worry about the day I won't be able to film."

"How can I become famous at a young age? Xia Yu, Liu Ye, and Jiang Wen all won Best Actor in their early twenties. I'm still working in TV dramas and don't even have a trophy. It's far behind."

"Hey." Huang Bo's eyes turned unkind: "What do you mean, is there such a thing as trying to bully people in person?"

"Brother Bo, you are a late bloomer, you have great potential, it's different."

"You are so glib now. What about you? What are your plans next?"

"'Latent' will be aired on April [-]st, so we have to do some promotion."

"How many satellite TV stations will star in the first round?"

"Four families."

"Not bad. I'll give you a few shout-outs on my blog later."

"It's a real pleasure for me."

"."
