The development history of domestic art films is accompanied by the fifth and sixth generation directors.

The fifth generation of directors, called him masters, is because the movies they make can see epic feelings, while the sixth generation of directors are much inferior, and they pay more attention to individuals.

Wang Xiaoshuai once said: "Epics are of course important, but when an era does not recognize the importance of individual expression, it will ignore respect for individual life. And we are all individuals that form this grand society. Respecting individuals is the greatest epic."

It is right, but overexpressing yourself will ignore the public.

After all, for a movie, the aesthetics of a director is of course very important, but the public aesthetics are more important. If the public does not accept it, such a movie will be abandoned.

Just like Guo Degang said, "You are an artist, you do art, but no one appreciates it, no one is willing to spend a penny on your art, then you deserve to starve to death!"

Unfortunately, the sixth generation director seems to be immersed in his fantasy world and feels that people all over the world should appreciate his works.

So, after the sixth generation of directors came to the stage, domestic films were no longer available, and the people couldn't understand what they were shooting.

Fortunately, there were a bunch of HK directors, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others. In addition, Hollywood movies had not yet fully entered China, so they finally gave some room for Chinese movies to buffer.

This is also the main reason why Xu Huit hates those domestic art film directors.

You can't do it well, and you won't let it be said, and you still require all the filmmakers to shoot like this, otherwise you will be an alien!

Are you sick!

...

"No, Sister Yang Lan, you can't cheat me. What we are talking about is that the development of the film market should be made by commercial films, and the film itself should be popularized. No one is hindering the market!"

Xu Hui hurriedly denied Yang Lan.

God knows how many people will be attacked by him if he nods.

"Then you just mentioned the art film..."

"We must respect the facts. The facts are that simple art films not only have no market in China, but even in France, which is known as the birthplace of New Wave movies, the most popular among the people is still Hollywood commercial films. France's movie box office throughout the year, and commercial films can account for more than 80%. Our current data is almost up to this!"

Yang Lan decided to change direction: "But if you shoot commercial films as you said, how can domestic movies compete with Hollywood?"

"Give full play to our own strengths. We have our history and our own oriental characteristics. I believe our audience will still appreciate our own movies more."

Yang Lan had to say something else, Xu Hui interrupted her: "When it comes to this, I really have to thank the seniors. Without these seniors' efforts in the past five years, it is impossible for the audience to watch movies in theaters. They have cultivated a group of viewers who are willing to watch movies in theaters. What we have to do is to retain these audiences and attract more audiences on the basis of it."

"So, you said at the beginning that you won't be able to make art films for the time being, just asking to keep the audience?"

"right!"

"However, the market is blind. If we rush to make commercial films, it will be difficult for our film market to develop healthily."

Yang Lan started chatting, and she felt that she had met an opponent.

I have already put aside my contempt.

Originally, she thought Xu Hui was just a little director who was lucky enough to make a money-making movie.

What ideas can a person who hasn't even attended college?

"You are right. The film industry is naturally divided into commercial and artistic. Our market is very young. Basically, you can rush into whatever you make money. When you watch any type of movies that become popular, you will follow the trend without caring about it! But don't forget that the tastes of the audience will change. We must guide the audience instead of just cater to the audience."

"There are only more than 6,000 screens in China, and the annual box office is less than 5 billion. There are not many viewers who are willing to watch movies in theaters. In a few years, our market should expand several times. At that time, the market will allow art films to enter. By then, I believe that domestic films will usher in a real blooming of flowers."

Xu Hui said something he didn't believe in against his will.

Until the end of 2017 before his rebirth, the Chinese film market was still the same, focusing on big data, big IP, and traffic artists...

"Let's take a break first!"

The two chatted for almost thirty minutes, and they were very tempted.

Each episode of "Yang Lan's Interview" is only about 30 minutes. Xu Hui's recording is relatively long and is broadcast in total.

The specific playback time should be at the end of April, in line with the movie promotion.

"I interviewed Brother Chen Kai before, and he said that if the director has a very famous work, it will be difficult for him to keep his mind calm in the next work. Do you have such worries?"

"I'm sure I haven't had a very famous work yet, so I don't have any worries for the time being."

"Don't you think "The Embroidered Spring Sword" is a very famous work for you?"

“…To be honest, if I had to shoot it again now, I would definitely be better than the first time I did it. For me, the best work is always the next one!”

OK, you are awesome, okay!

Yang Lan suddenly felt so boring. When she discussed movies with a young king, she heard all the bragging words, so she decided to change the topic: "Do you know some young directors in the mainland?"

"Well... I don't know much."

"If you were asked to give them advice, what advice would you give?"

"I?"

Xu Hui thought for a while and said, "Try to think about the market as much as possible. Only by winning the market can you have the right to shoot the next movie."

"But your first work is a martial arts film!"

As we all know, martial arts movies have always been in a down-and-out manner. There is no one else in the original time and space except for the old monster Xu who can play.

Er Dongsheng made a movie "The Sword of the Third Young Master" and lost the box office...

"I think martial arts movies have always had a market, but they lack a good form of expression. Also, we don't have a kung fu star who can hold the top. I believe my works can solve these two points, so I have the courage to film "Embroidered Spring Sword". After this "Those Years" is released, I should film martial arts again next!"

"Really, then we movie fans are going to look forward to it."

...

After chatting for two hours, Yang Lan deserves to be a professional host. She digs a hole from time to time. Xu Hui needs to maintain 12% of her attention, otherwise she will be taken into the ditch.

Perhaps she will show the unique sense of superiority of cultural people at some point. There is no way, she is indeed of good quality.

When he walked out of the studio, Xu Hui took out his cell phone. When he was recording just now, he felt the phone vibrating and he kept holding back and not clicking it.

It was Liu Sisi's text message.
