Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

With the popularity of the foreign science fiction blockbuster "Escape from the Mother Planet" at the box office, more and more people on the Internet are lamenting the advancement of foreign film technology while lamenting the backwardness of Chinese science fiction films.

Because the contrast is so stark and the gap is huge, not only some radical people are unscrupulously criticizing and cursing Chinese science fiction and even Chinese movies as a whole, but there are also many sensible people who have expectations for Chinese movies. , couldn't help but complain one after another.

Eventually, the war even spread to Chen Feng's "Infernal Affairs".

In the eyes of many people, although "Infernal Affairs" is good enough, such a drama police film can actually occupy the first place in the box office rankings. This in itself represents a kind of stagnation in the film industry and a lack of progress.

After all, sci-fi blockbusters like "Escape from the Mother Planet" can better represent the development direction of the film industry. Although feature films like "Infernal Affairs" are excellent, they have no positive effect on promoting the Chinese film industry market. .

This is simply an innocent mistake for "Infernal Affairs". Every genre film has the potential to get high box office, but so far, "Infernal Affairs" just happened to create a miracle.

However, because "Escape" has recently triggered a somewhat violent discussion about movie topics, many people have spread their dissatisfaction to many other movies.

"Deep Space Trek", "Infernal Affairs", "Love and Wisdom"... these three films that were released in October and achieved high box office, have all been severely criticized without exception.

This made Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng and some people from Rongxing Media dumbfounded.

He was shot while lying down, so innocent!

However, this also truly reflects some of the current needs in the Chinese film market to a certain extent.

Why do so many people criticize Chinese movies? After all, don’t you also want to see our own science fiction blockbusters like “Escape from the Mother Planet”?

You don't get what you ask for, so you get angry and curse, except of course those scum who are crazy and rhythmic.

…

Chen Feng and An Ruohua have also gone to see the movie "Escape from the Mother Planet".

To be honest, this film did not bring much surprise to Chen Feng.

Although the film is indeed beautifully shot and the special effects are very realistic, overall, the plot is too cliche. As a science fiction film, there is simply nothing new.

Perhaps it was because Chen Feng had seen countless science fiction masterpieces in the dream world, so when he saw a similar science fiction blockbuster in this world, he was not too surprised.

The plot of the movie "Escape from the Mother Planet" is indeed very routine.

The story takes place in the future. Due to changes in the center of the earth, the earth is about to face the danger of destruction. Therefore, everyone is trying to find ways to escape from the mother planet. Spaceflight has become the norm in that era. However, even so, the spacecraft on the earth still cannot To meet the needs of all human beings, the whole world fell into chaos, and people fought and killed each other in order to snatch the spaceship and escape from the mother planet.

The protagonist of the movie is a useless scientist. In the first half of the movie, he lives in poverty and his wife and children are separated.

In the middle of the movie, he used his intelligence and aura as the protagonist to successfully board a spaceship with his children and wife.

In the second half of the movie, he transformed into a space battleship pilot and participated in a heroic interstellar battle. In the end, he successfully protected several large-scale carrier ships of mankind and led mankind toward a new world. Fly to a habitable planet...

This kind of routine is very common in Chen Feng's opinion. Even the character creation of the protagonist and most of the supporting characters is very unsuccessful and has no character at all.

But because there are many big scenes in the film, various styles of spaceships, magma eruptions and big explosions on the earth, as well as exciting and heroic battles between space battleships, etc.

The special effects of these scenes are very good, as if they are actually there, and many people are hooked after watching them.

This is simply much better than the meager space and galaxy special effects in "Dark Space Trek".

It's no wonder that many people will criticize "Deep Space Trek" after watching this film.

Because the gap is really big.

Even An Ruohua said after reading it, she was extremely happy!

"This film is indeed beautiful. The special effects are great, especially when the earth explodes and the earth is filled with cracks and magma. The visual effects are really realistic."

"The interstellar battle scene is also very good. Not only are the special effects good, but the action design is also great. It's hard to imagine that people can already achieve this level of special effects..."

"According to the domestic film production level, it would not only take a long time to produce such special effects, but also require huge amounts of money. With the current situation, it is indeed difficult for Chinese-language films to produce similar films... ah!"

What An Ruohua said makes sense. She now knows the domestic film market very well and also knows the quotations of some top special effects companies when doing projects. Therefore, in her opinion, Chinese-language films are currently unable to produce "Escape from the Mother Planet". 》This is also the cruelest reality.

Chen Feng nodded, but then shook his head.

"Film technology, including shooting, special effects, post-production and many other techniques, can be learned after all, or it can be solved by simply paying others to do it. But in fact, the current gap between Chinese-language films and others is still in the entire film production industry. Environmentally..."

Chen Feng thought for a moment and sighed.

"There are too few people who really want to do good things, and there are too many speculators... If there is a group of people who can calm down and make a movie seriously, they may not be unable to make a good movie..."

"It's a pity...the market doesn't allow it, investors don't allow it, and sometimes directors and actors are even reluctant to do it...because once it fails, the cost of lost time and money is too great, and few people can afford it. Such a loss."

Indeed, although the current Chinese film market is developing rapidly, there are actually fewer and fewer truly good films. This is also caused by a variety of factors. Capitalists are eager to make profits, film producers like to be opportunistic, and promoters and distributors like to exaggerate and deceive. More people are entering theaters...

Anyway, the fans and audiences are the ones who pay the bill in the end.

Even under such circumstances, the Chinese film market is still growing rapidly, which is really disappointing to many people who really put their heart into making films.

As for the so-called science fiction blockbuster, Chen Feng believes that... people in the Chinese film industry can also make it if they really want to do it!
