On the first day of the Lunar New Year next year, the three films "Chinese Women's Volleyball", "囧Mom" and "Detective Chinatown 3" were released on the same day, becoming the most powerful contenders for the Spring Festival. On the evening of November 21, the directors of the three films, Chen Kexin, Xu Zheng, and Chen Sicheng appeared together at the 28th China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival Chinese film "New Commercial Blockbuster" Times Industry Forum to discuss different topics.
Chinese movies will blow out in the future
Chen Kexin said frankly that he has been looking for new things to stimulate himself and make himself more enthusiastic when shooting. In recent years, I started filming realistic themes such as "Dear" and "Chinese Partner", and I found it very handy. Now there are only sports films that have not been filmed. During the preparations, I saw the video of the Chinese women's volleyball team in Rio de Janeiro. Everyone’s reaction to the women’s volleyball team, including the eyes of young people after seeing the women’s volleyball team, "I think it has far surpassed sports itself, and is closely connected with the expectations, hopes and confidence of the entire society." He has experienced Hong Kong movies in the last century. The glory of the decade has also experienced the depression of the film market at the beginning of this century. In order to survive, he filmed blockbusters such as "Fame" and "Martial Arts", but the box office failed miserably and was also in debt.
However, the sluggish situation of the market changed after Xu Zheng filmed "Tai囧" in 2012. At that time, the Chinese film market began to flourish, and various types of movies began to appear. Even literary films like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Old Paoer" actually received very good box office. "This is the world It’s impossible. This also makes it necessary to continue doing it at my age, because the audience is really cute, very powerful, and very judgmental." The development of the
Internet has given Chinese audiences the right to vote. They even Can determine the success or failure of the movie. Chen Kexin said: "We have to trust the judgment of the audience. In recent years, many things in China have not been seen in the world, and the five major American companies have to come here to learn."
Regarding the new film "Chinese Women's Volleyball", Chen Kexin said with emotion. The biggest challenge to myself is that I have never made a similar film before. This film spans more than 30 years and belongs to the memory of several generations. Everyone can find a strong patriotic passion in the film. He thinks that every director now has ideas, and he was stunned to hear them talk about the industry. "Chinese movies will really blow out in the next ten years to make everyone dare not imagine."
domestic films are no longer a single genre
Xu Zheng thinks, The current domestic films are no longer a single type, but a composite type. In addition to comedy elements in his new work "囧Mo", it is also a movie that explores Chinese family relations and shows mother-child conflicts: "This kind of emotion is expressed in a formal way, it is easy to be heartbroken, but there is a picture of expressing it in comedy. Seeing my own feelings." Xu Zheng admitted that the audience is already a little tired of the "囧" character, and once thought of setting the title of the film "Six Days and Six Nights on the Train", but after market research, most audiences still want to see the film. The word "囧" appeared in his name, and he finally compromised.
"I have been thinking that in addition to external commercial elements, deepening the theme is also a direction of effort. I want to make a more Chinese-style family-related movie." Talking about business In the development of the IP series of films, Xu Zheng believes that he is inferior to Chen Sicheng. "Detective Chinatown 2" has a box office of 3.39 billion yuan, which is very successful. "Seeing Sicheng's development of "Tang Detective" into a series of movies, I was very moved. I asked myself if I didn't play a good hand?" Chen Sicheng believes that the current inland market film history box office top, second, and third place are all It is a domestic movie, which shows that the Chinese audience's favorite is the domestic movie. "We still like to have a Chinese flavor, and we hope to see Chinese movies and tell Chinese stories. This is the best soil for our directors to fight for a lifetime."
He hopes to be industrialized in a true sense Broaden, he and the team are thinking about how to make movies cross into other industries, such as cooperating with theme parks, derivatives, and games. "We must take every IP seriously, bit by bit, we also In the development of more possibilities for other series of "Tang Detective", I hope that this series is truly cosmic, so that it is possible to cooperate with other fields."
"Tang Detective 3" is the last "Tang Detective" directed by Chen Sicheng "A series of works. Many new directors will join in this series in the future. Like Marvel movies, they will do all kinds of exploration.
Three new films are in the ring at the same time, Chen Kexin and XuIt is also the first time that Zheng has entered the Spring Festival. Xu Zheng said that entering a good period means more competition. Now audiences are more and more inclined to word-of-mouth. As a filmmaker, he is still willing to return to the perspective of creators and try his best to The film is well shot. Chen Sicheng said that none of the three main melody films of the National Day files "mutually black", but the box office is particularly good, which fully proves that "mutual black" will not make you better, but it is important that "people gather firewood and flames are high".
