1341. The Dilemma of Comedy Movies
Fu Rong, Fang Xiongfei and Mi Huayuan came together.
"Fang Xiongfei!"
"Fu Rong!"
"Mi Huayuan!"
As lucky people, it can be said that each of the three is actually quite excited.
Even Mi Huayuan was equally excited.
When he first returned to China, he worked with Wang Yifan for the first time, and he became the number one director of the online drama.
Later, the first domestic film he directed failed, making Mi Huayuan recognize himself.
I began to calm down and specialize in online dramas.
But he is also ambitious, and the big screen has always been what every director yearns for the most.
Because the three of them are different in their own interests, there is actually no competitive relationship, and the atmosphere seems to be more harmonious.
"Director Fang, I really didn't expect that there are directors like you in China, with 200 movies in ten years. How did you do it?" Fu Rong naturally understood Fang Xiongfei. After all, although he was not a competitor, in fact, there was still a slight competitive relationship.
But he was really scared by Fang Xiongfei's resume.
Two hundred movies in ten years are simply outrageous.
But this is true. Although the names of many movies are very similar, no matter what, it is definitely outrageous to make so many movies.
Many directors, let alone ten years, may be difficult to make movies in their lifetime.
But Fang Xiongfei got more than 200 movies in one go.
Mi Huayuan was also surprised when he heard this.
"Haha, I've made routine movies, and you should know that my movie, to put it bluntly, is just selling dog meat with sheep's head, but the two of them are really amazing."
"To be honest, I have also made comedy movies before, but as a result, I can't even feel happy. I'm ashamed." Fang Xiongfei revealed his shortcomings as soon as he came up.
"There is also Director Mi, tsk, the number one person in online dramas, 360 people have the top scorer in every industry, and Director Mi is the top scorer in online dramas!" Fang Xiongfei gave Mi Huayuan another flattery!
"Director Fu, Director Wang invites you in!" At this time, an assistant came out and called Fu Rong.
"Two guys, then I'll take the lead." Fu Rong smiled and said to Mi Huayuan and Fang Xiongfei.
"Director Wang! Mr. Dai!" Fu Rong walked into the office and saw Wang Yifan and Dai Xinyue.
"Director Fu, sit down!" Wang Yifan smiled and pointed to the seat, signaling Fu Rong to sit down and chat.
"Director Fu, you should know the purpose of letting you come here today, right?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
Fu Rong nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dai, thank you Director Wang!"
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "You are not a new director anymore. Let's just talk about it casually. What do you think of the current comedy and film market in China? Tell me what you think!"
Fu Rong did not answer immediately after hearing this, but pondered for a moment before saying: "At present, there seems to be no hits in domestic comedy movies in recent years, but I think that the audience still has a great demand for comedy. However, because everyone has made big productions, comedy movies have been ignored. Although some comedy movies occasionally appear, they are not particularly good liars. Since director Lin Tao, comedy movies have begun to decline by a group of people, but in my opinion, comedy movies are still far from decline."
Wang Yifan nodded.
In fact, although everyone knows that comedy movies will never be outdated, the current situation is that there are fewer and fewer comedy movies worth looking forward to in the market every year.
"Then do you think the current comedy movies are declining more and more. What causes it to be?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
"I think there are many reasons. On the one hand, the comedy movie model is familiar to the public, and it is difficult to make any refreshing new comedy movie types. In addition, the popularity of online short videos, many funny points, jokes, and memes have been played by netizens, which has led to many viewers having a strong sense of comedy movies. It is difficult for the audience to get pregnant with ordinary funny plots." Fu Rong obviously has researched this.
"On the other hand, it is also because of the market and the rise of China's market, which brings about the blooming of movies. At the beginning, the best-selling films in the market were comedy movies, which often made big profits with small profits. However, now, with the rise of the domestic economy and market, the benefits and influence of other large productions have begun to far surpass comedy movies. Naturally, comedy movies have begun to be abandoned by them. Because comedy movies themselves have old routines, it is too difficult to make new products and it is difficult to produce hits. Therefore, the directors of comedy movies earlier began to switch to other types of movies, aggravated the decline of comedy movies!"
All Fu Rong said is true.
In fact, comedy movies have suffered the most, and the Internet is the one that has suffered the most!
As we all know, it can be said that netizens today are completely different from those in their early years.
There are a lot of short videos and funny jokes on the Internet, which can be said to have greatly enhanced the public's resistance. It is difficult for ordinary laughs to make them laugh.
On the other hand, although the investment in comedy movies is not high, the low investment and high returns are already a thing of the past.
There are still low-cost comedy movies now, but most of the time, they are criticized and the jokes are not novel enough.
Another thing is that, as Fu Rong said, the domestic film market is now full of flowers.
People have tried all kinds of movies, but in fact, the driving role of the top movies is very powerful.
The representative figures of comedy movies, Lin Tao and his Lin family comedy, were able to lead to a lot of imitations in the future every time they were released.
But now, due to physical reasons, Lin Tao has gradually withdrawn from the stage, and the top movies of comedy movies have begun to be missing and have gradually been replaced by other movie genres.
In addition, the entry of capital such as Ali Media, Wansheng Group, Future Technology, and Star Technology has made the film industry no longer lack money.
The entry of these giants must be the first to be big productions, such as action tracks, science fiction blockbusters, popular IPs, etc.
And what about comedy movies?
This type of movie has indeed begun to withdraw from the mainstream stage today.
Of course, this is also an inevitable development of the film market.
Even Hollywood is the case. In recent years, there have been few pure comedy movies in Hollywood.
More of a series of IP-adapted movies.
This led to the beginning of the status of comedy movies becoming extremely embarrassing.
Fu Rong is actually a relatively successful comedy director in China. Other comedy directors either switch to other types or simply go directly to TV series or online dramas.
"Then what kind of comedy do you think will be loved by the audience?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
