It's quite interesting to say that the established domestic directors like Xue Kaishan are actually very powerful.
As the four veteran directors, they all had their peak moments and achieved the ultimate in certain aspects.
Some people are at the pinnacle of color, some are good at staging large scenes, some are good at exploring deep-seated art, and so on.
But the shortcomings of these people are also obvious, because they are very stubborn and good at maximizing their strengths, so they will naturally appear weak in other aspects.
This is the case with Xue Kaishan. His films are often highly praised by senior literary and artistic film lovers, but for ordinary audiences, they are really hard to describe.
Because ordinary viewers don’t say that they don’t use their brains when watching movies, but at least most of the time, ordinary viewers don’t make too many associations, especially some more off-beat thinking, which seems too troublesome for ordinary viewers.
But Xue Kaishan just likes not to take the usual path.
"'The Idol Murder Incident' is adapted from a real incident. This kind of film shouldn't deviate too much, right? Could it be possible that a suspense film can be changed into an emotional film?" Chu Xuexiang said disapprovingly.
This is also true. In fact, everyone is optimistic about "The Idol Murder Case" mainly because it is indeed difficult to make a classic about this subject. However, as long as such movies do not deviate from the theme, most of the time the performance will not be too bad. After all, the incident itself has a huge mass base.
"Haha, is it really impossible? You must know that he is Xue Kaishan! His famous work, isn't it just to find a new way? Originally a movie that explored the suffering life in the countryside, it was made into a rural love story for him. What do you think? What's impossible about changing a suspense film into a romance film?" Chen Wen said with a sneer.
Everyone was speechless, because this is really Xue Kaishan's characteristic, he likes to play tricks.
It’s not that it’s a niche, but it’s a theme that deviates from the original perception of everyone.
"Where's director Tang Lu? "Bounty Hunter" shouldn't be bad, right?" Zhou Guo asked with a frown.
"I'm not very optimistic about "Bounty Hunter"." This time it was Li Yi who said.
"Oh? Why? Although your senior brother Tang rarely makes such commercial blockbusters, I have read the script of this film. Although I cannot say it is outstanding, it is at least satisfactory. It is unlikely that such a movie will break out, but it should still be Can you fight?" Chen Wen asked curiously.
Li Yi shook his head: "What type of film do you think the audience is most tired of in these years?"
"What do you mean?" Everyone couldn't help but fell silent again.
Because Li Yi got to the point.
In fact, what kind of movies are popular these days? Then the answer must be urban gunfight movies, or action movies.
Because of this type of movie, Hollywood can almost be said to have squeezed out all the themes.
What's the point of this type of movie?
Either you have to innovate in the routine, or the script is very good and the story is very interesting. Otherwise, it will be difficult to come up with anything new.
So such a movie seems to be relatively stable, but in fact, today is different from the past. If it is just a relatively mediocre movie, it may not be enough in other situations, but in a schedule with obvious confrontation and gunpowder, it is not enough. .
Ahn Jae-wook and Park Chang-dong presented projects that they were extremely good at.
Especially Ahn Jae-wook, it seems like he is following the routine of co-production films, but he can't resist the fact that Ahn Jae-wook's masterpiece is a romance film.
Although the movie he won the Oscar for was not a romance film, the romance film he made back then also won the highest award from the Bangkok Film Festival.
Ahn Jae-wook is characterized by delicacy and is particularly good at creating atmosphere.
Another one, Park Chang-dong, should not be underestimated. He is good at movies that span a long time. His famous film "Peninsula" is a movie that spans a century, and he did make it well. "Across the River" 》This kind of movie is also the type that people are best at.
After this analysis, Chen Wen and others looked at each other a little bit.
Because, suddenly, I felt that, probably, the probability of losing was really high.
In fact, mentality is a big problem. For a top famous director like Xue Kaishan, he will definitely not not pay attention to movies. After all, they definitely don’t want to lose. But the problem is that they are not afraid that you will not pay attention, but they are afraid that you will pay too much attention. .
It’s easy to go astray once you pay attention to it!
Of course, it's just Li Yi and the others who are taking advantage of it now. We still have to watch a few movies to find out.
"Li Yi, didn't Director Zhao find you?" Chen Wen suddenly looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I looked for it. Why didn't I look for it? But why is it so easy to make a co-production? And couldn't it be that Senior Brother Tang is Xue Director?"
"What if the car overturns? I think you will have to be the fire captain by then!" Chen Wen said with a smile.
"Don't mention it, it's really possible. I heard that the higher-ups also take this matter very seriously. Why are they upgrading the standards of cultural exchange meetings? It's because of you, Director Li, who has shown us a lot this year. The strength of China's film industry, and next year, the topic is so hot now, we really can't lose. At least, once we lose, it will be really embarrassing. It doesn't matter if we are embarrassed, if the leaders of the exchange meeting are embarrassed , then..." Zhou Guo said and stopped.
Of course Li Yi understood what Zhou Guo meant.
Is this possible? There really is!
He couldn't help but have a headache. Many people may think that it would be good to be a fire-fighting hero, but the key is, how can one be so good?
You know, no matter how fast a movie is shot, it can't go anywhere fast.
And when the results of those movies come out, I'm afraid there won't be much time left.
However, this time, domestic directors actually have great advantages. First of all, they have the advantage of geographical location. There is no problem with this.
Although the culture of Bangzi is also inherited from China, it is still different after all.
The Chinese market is definitely the main battlefield, so whether it is Xue Kaishan or Tang Lu, they have a natural advantage in the country.
For example, Ahn Jae-wook won the Hollywood Oscar for Best Director, but because he is the director of Bangzi, to be honest, his influence in mainland China is really limited.
For this reason, this is also the reason why many netizens are generally optimistic.
How can I lose when I have all the king bombs in my hand?
In fact, it's more than that.
In terms of publicity, Xue Kaishan's "Idol Murder" and Tang Lu's "Bounty Hunter" both have unique conditions.
No, the filming of the movie started, and the opening ceremony of the two movies was a huge event.
Even great directors like Li Yi were invited to support the show.
Of course, Li Yi was inevitably asked by reporters who was more optimistic about this Sino-Korean film culture exchange?
Li Yi must definitely side with his own people.
"Of course it's Director Xue's "The Idol Murder Incident". After all, this film is adapted from a real incident. This incident was well known at the time. Naturally, it has a broad mass base, and everyone will be curious and looking forward to it. Moreover, Director Xue is a The top domestic director, his strength is beyond doubt."
Originally, Xue Kaishan was a little dissatisfied with the media reporters going after Li Yi, but after hearing Li Yi's answer to the reporter, he grinned.
Of course Li Yi would not be stupid enough to say something he shouldn't have said. In fact, as long as Xue Kaishan doesn't engage in "personal" movies, his winning rate is still quite high.
"What about "Seoul Love" directed by Ahn Jae-wook?" the reporter asked again.
"The story of transnational love like "Seoul Love" is actually not new. It mainly depends on the performance of Director Ahn. I am not familiar with Director Ahn Jae-wook, so I won't comment too much!" Li Yi also told the truth, To be honest, the plot of a romance movie like "Seoul Love" is not very new. This kind of movie really tests the director's skills.
In fact, movies like "Seoul Love" are not popular with the market.
Why do you say that?
Because romance films, especially romance films like "Seoul Love" with a Chinese female protagonist and a stick-minded male protagonist, are actually not friendly to domestic male audiences.
Of course, Ahn Jae-wook is well-known in romance films and has achieved good results, so it’s really hard to say.
Soon, the publicity for "Idol Murder Case" was overwhelming.
Li Yi’s answers during the on-site interview were also quoted by the media.
"Li Yi said that director Xue Kaishan's sword is still young and "Idol Murder" is invincible!"
"Director Li Yi is not optimistic about Ahn Jae-wook's "Seoul Love" and says he is not familiar with director Ahn Jae-wook!"
"Director Xue Kaishan is very confident in "Idol Murder Incident" and said that he will produce surprises that everyone can't expect!!"
"Xue Kaishan said: "Idol Murder Case" has a lot of room for exploration, please wait and see!"
Li Yi didn't care much about the first two reports. After all, this was an old routine of the media. In order to attract attention, this type of reporting really didn't matter.
As for whether people will think that Li Yi is too arrogant and domineering, and he is so dismissive of someone else's Oscar for Best Director, but it is impossible for Li Yi to explain who he loves!
Moreover, to be honest, no matter how good An Zaixu is, he is only limited to Bangzi. On the Chinese side, Li Yi really doesn't care at all!
But after the report, Li Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Although it is normal to boast and so on when promoting, the problem is that a great director like Xue Kaishan really does not boast casually. If he says there is a surprise, then there will really be a surprise.
But when a movie like "Idol Murder" really comes into the hands of Xue Kaishan, what he fears most is surprises!
However, the news about "Idol Murder Case" really flew by.
You can see relevant reports every once in a while, including director Xue Kaishan personally visiting those who witnessed the "Idol Murder Incident", visiting survivors in prison, etc.
Anyway, it’s awesome!
And it’s very interesting to visit the survivors from those years in prison.
If the co-author is not killed, he has to go to jail?
Of course, "The Idol Murder Case" involves people from the chaebol on the other side of the stick, so this is nothing.
Everyone who understands understands.
On the other hand, although the promotion of "Bounty Hunter" is not as exaggerated as "Idol Murder Incident", it is still not weak.
Looking back at the two films from Bangzi, "Crossing the River" is a little better. After all, two directors co-directed it, so there is still some publicity, but the publicity of "Seoul Love" is much weaker.
Time passes day by day.
Reports on several movies have not stopped, and they still maintain relative popularity.
Soon, Xue Kaishan announced the completion of "Idol Murder Incident", which was something that many people did not expect.
You know, Xue Kaishan is really not a fast shooter, but this time he was the first to announce the completion of the project.
The key is that it only took more than four months.
During this period of time, Li Yi was quite leisurely. He wandered around everywhere every day. Today he flew to Hawaii, tomorrow he was in Paris, and the day after tomorrow he went to Madrid to watch football.
But here in China, something happened that caused an uproar.
An accident occurred during the filming of "The Bounty Hunter". Chen Shaojie, a veteran kung fu movie star who played the leading role, fell from a height during the filming and was seriously injured.
"Bounty Hunter" will inevitably not be able to complete filming on time.
In other words, among the four major co-productions, two domestically-led films, one of the two will be eliminated!
Immediately, countless people were in an uproar.
Although this news can be considered big news, as soon as this news came out, the "Idol Murder Case" and Xue Kaishan had to step aside.
But the problem is that the filming cannot be completed on time, and Chen Shaojie's injury is not optimistic. He will have to rest for at least half a year. By that time, the day lilies will be cold.
As for changing roles, it is impossible, because not to mention that Chen Shaojie has already completed half of the filming. The key is, who can bear the pressure to change roles at this time?
For a time, netizens were not so optimistic.
Although Xue Kaishan is indeed awesome, many people think about it carefully. Although Xue Kaishan is awesome, it seems, probably, it seems that he hasn't made any well-received and well-received films for a long time?
Not even as good as his nephew Xue Yibin!
Some things, as long as you think about them in a bad direction, will be bad no matter what.
Li Yi still lets himself go, and doesn't want to live a life that is too unrestrained. Sometimes, the more anxious you are about inspiration, the more difficult it becomes. But instead, he let himself go, and during this period, he thought of a movie.
Of course, he didn't care at all.
However, Zhao Guangming's life-threatening serial calls forced him to temporarily stop his journey around the world.
Of course, Zhao Guangming has not yet mentioned his idea of asking Li Yi to be a firefighter. It is just that an internal screening of Xue Kaishan's "Idol Murder Incident" will be held soon. Zhao Guangming called Li Yi in the hope that he could go back and help. Take a look.
After all, Li Yi is famous for his sharp vision, and he is also recognized as the director who understands the audience best.
Of course Li Yi refused at the beginning. He might not worry about offending a good director like An Zaixu, but he would not rashly offend an old director like Xue Kaishan.
As a director, he naturally knows that for a director, the audience can comment on the movie, and theater representatives can comment, including Zhao Guangming, but only peers can comment and talk about it. !
