Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

"There is really no need to put the blame on the market and the audience! The market can be guided slowly, and it is important not to go too far, and it is even more important not to let it go!"

"If a person imposes his own understanding of a certain cultural form on the entire field, it is either a crude logic without careful consideration, or there is some hidden intention."

"If a director really complains about the market from the bottom of his heart, then he really should retire! So, the choice of the times is us after all!"

Who is the most popular director in China?

Five years ago, no, two years ago, it is estimated that many people would choose Feng Kuzi

In the era when the national audience was imprisoned by a lot of disgusting art films, Feng Kuzi's original Feng-style comedy dominated the domestic film industry for decades.

Lao Mouzi, Kaizi Ge, and Feng Kuzi are known as the three kings of the domestic director industry.

Lao Mouzi and Kaizi Ge are both directors who have won honors at the three major film festivals.

Among them, only Feng Kuzi has no special honors. After all, it is extremely difficult for a comedy to win an award. Apart from the best director award at the Cairo Film Festival, he does not have many artistic achievements.

But he has a market and an audience!

The audience just likes Feng's comedy!

But times are changing, and the age of the audience is gradually decreasing. Now most of those who have developed new viewing habits are born in the 1980s, and those born in the 1990s are also starting to make efforts.

The younger the age, the more they desire to be respected!

You suddenly threw the blame on me, saying that domestic films are getting worse and worse, and the audience should be blamed!

Who can accept it?

So, the audience who watch your movies can't watch other movies, otherwise they are just bad audiences!

Faced with this high-level online keyboard battle between Gu Zhongyu and Feng Kuzi, various media and bystanders were very excited!

"Chinese movies suck because the audience sucks? Gu Zhongyu and Feng Kuzi's head-on clash!"

Such titles and marketing articles and videos quickly swept major portals, and various big Vs began to review the grievances between the two, from the earliest holidays between the Wang brothers and Zongheng Entertainment to the movie wars in recent years...

Feng Kuzi is a veteran New Year's Emperor. Although he has lost his glory in recent years, the IQ and integrity of the movies he made have declined to varying degrees, his qualifications are there. The concept of the Spring Festival file was promoted by him. When it comes to domestic comedy movies, he is simply unavoidable.

Gu Zhongyu is a well-known actor and film company owner. In recent years, the movies he starred in, wrote, and produced have not only achieved great results at the box office, but also won a lot of awards at home and abroad. He has won four Oscars and promoted a number of rising stars such as Chen Sicheng and Guo Fan.

Although Gu Zhongyu completely defeated Director Feng in terms of popularity, there are still some nostalgic netizens who support Feng Kuazi and say that what Director Feng said makes sense.

Netizen [Floating as Years]: "Because of some vulgar people, the film producers will make countless bad movies to cater to them, and they can still have high box office, resulting in the low quality of movies. The entire film market is completely messed up by these vulgar people, resulting in fewer good films and more bad films."

Netizen [Zhao Jiayu]: "Director Feng touched on the pain points of many people. Knowing that it is a bad movie, but still watching it is just like seeing bad people and ignoring them silently. The bad phenomenon is even more rampant, and it is all caused by habit."

What do these people think?

The audience he scolded includes you!

Of course, most netizens are still rational, and many people support Gu Zhongyu.

"We say we won't take the blame!"

"Since the failure of "1942", Feng Kuzi has started to complain, but Director Feng succeeded by understanding the market, but now he is in his sixties and lives a twisted life."

When "Personal Tailor" was released, he started to criticize the critics!

"I Am Not Madame Bovary" was a bit too dramatic, causing thousands of people to dislike it.

12.3% of the screenings, I don't understand where it is low, just because he has too many movies, what do other movies say about the low screenings? Madame Bovary's golden screenings accounted for the largest proportion, accounting for 37.5%, and Li An's new movie screening rate is not as good as his, what do people say?

When "1942" was released, the IMAX version of "Life of Pi" was taken off the screen in 7 days, what was Feng Kuzi's attitude?

After criticizing the critics, he started to criticize the theaters, probably thinking that the theaters were too strong, so he just criticized the audience!

What a bad move!

"How dare he do this!"

In his own home, Feng Kuzi was very angry and smashed a lot of furniture to vent his anger!

He hadn't had such a war of words with people in the industry for a long time. Others might be afraid of him, Gu Zhongyu, but he had the support of the Wang brothers, so they wouldn't care about him!

What made him even more angry was that the headline of the main section of the newspaper the next day was "Blaming the audience for bad movies"? How can we agree with such a director? The battlefield of a good director should be in the studio, so it's better to have less verbal attacks and more word of mouth.

He smoked several cigarettes in a row, then opened Weibo and wrote: "I don't think there is anything wrong with my behavior! With the increase in bad movies, shouldn't the audience be responsible?"

"The domestic film market is now in a very hot situation, and this situation is supported by a large set of numbers. Even the box office figures in February this year jumped to the first place in the world, surpassing the United States!

"How did such a good situation come about? In fact, this market was created by traditional directors like us. Some people just kept up with the times and tried their luck to achieve some achievements, while we have made more than ten films in a row. It’s a box office success, we created this era!”

"On the contrary, today, when we maintain this good situation, we are described as having sour grapes. I think this is a disregard for contemporary movies!"

"The increase in bad films has had an extremely bad impact on the development of Chinese films; it will lead to the fact that no producer will continue to be willing to invest in a serious film that has put a lot of effort into! We call on the Directors Association and the General Administration of Optoelectronics to intervene in this issue. "

What do you mean?

Ban bad movies from entering the market?

How can it be?

Even Americans can’t do it!

And what criteria do you have to judge whether a movie is bad or good?

"I support Director Feng. All directors are making bad movies. What future can Chinese-language films have?"

"That's right, Deng Chao's "The Breakup Master" is really terrible!"

Of course, the more people are still questioning, "I don't understand! It seems like I have to get your approval from Feng Pants to watch a movie, just like other people have to get his approval for any movie they make! Are you the emperor?" "

"Excuse me, what are the criteria for evaluating bad movies? Is it "Private Customization"?"

The supporters of both parties were more concerned than the parties involved. Even after Gu Zhongyu and Feng Pants went out of business, netizens continued to criticize each other endlessly, vowing to tell the difference!

…

At Zongheng Company, Jiang Shuying looked at the comments on the Internet about Gu Feng's battle, frowned and said, "Feng Pants doesn't seem to have any works on the market recently, why would he do this?"

The movie "Old Paoer" won't be completed until next year. It's definitely impossible to promote it in such a hurry.

Could it be that he was simply unhappy with Deng Chao?

It shouldn't be the case. No matter how much Deng Chao annoys him, it's unlikely that he will complain in front of all the media that the audience is a jerk. If he just calls "The Breakup Master" a jerk by name, that will be the end of it!

"Isn't this obvious? Now that I am famous and profitable, I want to gain power!" As a film business manager, Zhang Miao hit the nail on the head and understood Feng Pants' operation.

"Tsk tsk... the statue is too ugly!" Gong Geer couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"He shows up so frequently, and he says between the lines that I am doing it for the good of Chinese movies. He probably wants to plot Li Shaohong's position."

Now the president of the fifth Film Directors Guild is Li Shaohong, and the general election is about to take place. I guess Feng Pants has been jumping up and down during this period just to build momentum for himself, so that he can become the president of the Directors Guild.

Gu Zhongyu smiled coldly, "I remember when it was first established, I said that the Directors Association is just a non-governmental organization. I didn't expect that it would be quite concerned about it!"

Bai Bin put forward a different view: "It seems... Director Feng has become independent from the Wang brothers' company and formed a new company with Zhang Guoli. Maybe we shouldn't be so quarrelsome with him, and we can even win him over... "

As the second secret secretary and recently the manager of the publicity department, Bai Bin did not follow everyone's complaints, but tried to find out what was beneficial to the company's development from this incident.

"I know, but it's impossible for the Wang brothers to let Feng Pengtong leave Huayi. Feng Pongtang has always been a member of Huayi. He still has a lot of shares in Huayi. He has broken bones and connected tendons!"

"I'm so naive!"

And Gu Zhongyu is not as commercially valuable as Feng Pants. He has long since passed. The quality of his future movies will be worse than the last. "If You Are the One 3" in the 2024 Lunar New Year release has not exceeded 100 million a month after its release. It is simply ridiculous. Lose your teeth!

Jiang Shuying reminded worriedly: "You scolded Feng Pongzi so harshly this time. He can't do anything on the surface, but he might find someone to blackmail you secretly. You have to be careful..."

No one knows the methods of the Wang brothers better than him. In recent years, many artists have been criticized verbally and verbally, and they have their shadow behind them.

For Gu Zhongyu, it couldn't be easier to cause trouble for him. He could arrange for someone to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day and secretly take photos of his trysts with beautiful women; or he could find a few female celebrities he had relationships with and bribe them. , asking them to post short compositions is very effective.

This is Gu Zhongyu's foresight. In the little black book Dudu keeps, all the actresses whose names are written down will receive gifts from her on a regular basis. Gu Zhongyu will occasionally send messages and meet for dates to maintain the relationship between the two parties. Feelings to ensure that your home will not be stolen silently...

In later generations, there were many couples who broke up on bad terms. After breaking up, he still remembered deeply the things they posted about each other online in essays!

"Operation Mekong" is a theme movie.

This is the most basic understanding.

Secondly, it must be restored as much as possible. Only the most real events can bring people the most real feelings!

There are still many theme movies that have appeared on the market in the past two years, such as "Revolution of 1911", "Tangshan Earthquake", "The Founding of the Party", "The Founding of the People's Republic" and so on.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is the pinnacle of the main theme, and before it, it must be "Operation Mekong".

Let’s talk about something that many people don’t know. The domestic homicide rate is 0.7 per 100,000 people, which is comparable to Switzerland, the safest country in the world;

More than 98% of domestic violent terrorist incidents are eliminated by the police at the budding stage.

One of the most intuitive experiences is that no matter day or night, the land under your feet can almost make people walk at ease, which is something that many Western countries cannot do.

Peace does not fall from the sky. Behind the peaceful years, there are people carrying heavy burdens.

What you may not know is that more than 400 domestic police officers sacrifice their lives every year on average, and their average age is 46.3 years old.

Many people say that "singing praises" is boring, but for some people, if you don't sing praises, no one in the world knows their existence, and no one knows what kind of sacrifices they have made to protect our national security; the reason why you can't see the darkness is because someone is blocking the darkness behind you!

I guess many people are very clear about the prototype event of the story, the "10.5 Mekong River Massacre" that shocked China and the world, and I will not elaborate on it.

In fact, this event itself has the potential to be adapted into a movie: the case itself is shocking enough, and the whole event is also very warning and educational!

Movie adaptations pay attention to dramatization, and it is impossible to copy it exactly, and if it is really copied exactly, two hours is not enough!

And if it is really filmed like that, it will easily become mediocre and become a main theme work that is really for the sake of praising.

Therefore, there must be detailed artistry.

For example, set up an emotional line, such as setting up an animal line.

The previous life's "Operation Mekong" was filmed very well, but due to certain political considerations, many aspects were compromised, so that the shock of the movie was not strong enough.

Gu Zhongyu was not prepared to do so. The director he chose was still Lin Chaoxian, but at the same time he was prepared to write this bright line clearly. Therefore, the current main line of the script is Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu, and the secondary line is the negotiations between the four countries.

Then, the script was rejected!

It seems that we have to find the relevant person in charge and let them talk to the optoelectronics department.

Gu Zhongyu immediately picked up the phone and called Director Zhang, who is the big boss of the GA department and is responsible for supervising the filming of "Operation Mekong".
