The sun sets, time passes, and the interview continues. 3. Fastest

"Although the gap exists, it does not mean that we have no chance to catch up." Lin Zixuan continued, "The great development of the economy will inevitably drive the great development of entertainment. When the people are rich, they will pursue spiritual enjoyment. The quality of the screening and the experience brought by the theaters are incomparable to watching the discs at home. It can be foreseen that in the future, more and more viewers will enter the theaters to promote the construction of the theaters and the growth of the box office."

"When do you expect the box office of domestic movies to surpass "Titanic"?" Meng Jingfa asked.

"Titanic" is a representative of Hollywood blockbusters. The box office of 350 million yuan has been hanging over domestic movies, making domestic filmmakers feel the pressure from Hollywood.

Although there are many factors in this box office, it reflects a fact.

Domestic movies cannot reach that level at present. Some people say that "Titanic" is a commercial blockbuster, with a vulgar story, relying on special effects and ** to attract attention, and there is no artistic ability.

This is just getting stubborn.

When facing Hollywood movies, you need to learn useful things and not be biased, otherwise the gap will become bigger and bigger.

"I don't have a timetable here. It depends on two aspects. It is not difficult to surpass it simply from the box office. Domestic theaters are developing rapidly, with the number of screens increasing, and the box office will have a big eruption. In five or six years, I think there will be domestic films with a box office of about 500 million." Lin Zixuan judged, "But don't forget that "Titanica" is a film released in 1997. There is no comparison in box office. What really needs to be compared is the quality of the film."

"Do you mean commercial or artistic quality?" Meng Jing said uncertainly.

Meng Jing has not been in contact with the entertainment industry for a long time. She is good at writing celebrities' reports, but she lacks in-depth understanding of the film industry, or just a little understanding of it.

Entertainment journalists are not film theorists and professional scholars. They face ordinary readers and report on popular topics that are of interest to ordinary readers.

Living both on the periphery of the entertainment industry and on the surface of the circle.

Lin Zixuan has been in this industry for more than ten years. As the helmsman of the largest private film and television company in China, his perspective and depth of viewing problems must be different.

"It's a comprehensive consideration." Lin Zixuan responded, "You always feel that commercial films and art films are opposite each other. Some people in the circle also have this view, but in the face of the market, it is not so absolute. Art films can also be sold at the top, and commercial films will fail. This quality is a conclusion drawn from the comprehensive factors of all aspects."

"The media's method of evaluating a movie is very single. Whether it has won awards or has a box office hit, only a movie with a high box office or a high box office is considered successful." Lin Zixuan continued, "That's true. Winning awards means gaining recognition from experts, and box office means gaining recognition from audiences. There is a lack of a procedure, which is a comprehensive consideration."

"You mean..." Meng Jing said in confusion.

"Let me give a simple example. Time Online's scoring of movies is an indicator of comprehensive consideration. Some people think that although the movie is not very good, the picture is good, and some people think that the actors' acting skills are not good, but the plot can still be watched. These ideas are expressed through the form of scoring. You can roughly understand the quality of a movie when you see the score." Lin Zixuan gave an example, "Of course, the comprehensive evaluation of movies within the film company is much more complicated, not only business or art, pictures and music, clothing props, etc. must be considered."

"Titanic is the embodiment of the highest standards of Hollywood's industry. Its artistic quality is not strong, but other aspects have added a lot of scores to it. Special effects are only one aspect, beautiful music, gorgeous costumes, compact plots and intense drama conflicts, and the comprehensive score is very high." Lin Zixuan explained, "If you want to compare domestic movies, it is a comparison of comprehensive quality. The higher the score, the more successful the film."

Meng Jing tried hard to keep up with Lin Zixuan's thinking, and at the same time he was also controlling the rhythm of the visit.

The interview has high requirements for reporters. This is not about gossip, but about in-depth communication. If the reporter is not prepared enough or has insufficient knowledge reserves, he will easily fall into embarrassment and passiveness.

"Is it a long way to go? Where is Director Feng's "Hero" this time?" Meng Jing asked.

"We mainly want to go the route of domestic blockbusters. Haomeng started with a low-cost comedy film. The combination of Director Feng and Teacher Ge was very successful. It was welcomed by the audience and had good returns. We can choose to continue doing it. Anyway, we can make money." Lin Zixuan said in a deep voice, "When the company has gained a foothold, it is not short of funds, and we are no longer satisfied with the status quo. Whether it is Director Feng or Teacher Ge, they have the consideration of transformation. Director Feng wants to make blockbusters, and Teacher Ge wants to make art films. At that time, we have considered making commercial blockbusters."

"Heroes is an attempt, and there may be a big gap between them and Titanica, but I think the gap is narrowing. With this experience, we can do better in the future." Lin Zixuan said frankly.

"Is Jiang Wen the starring actor of "Heroes" or an art director? Some people in the circle say that he is not easy to cooperate and is acting like a big shot. What do you think?" Meng Jing asked.

"What did Jiang Wen say? He is talented and talented people are inevitably arrogant. It's not that he is not easy to cooperate, but he just speaks a little straightforwardly. You reporters may be the deepest touch." Lin Zixuan joked, "I have worked with him several times. His personality is relatively stubborn and unwilling to compromise. Zhang Yimou is from northern Shaanxi and has a stubborn and twisted temperament, but he knows how to compromise in some aspects, but Jiang Wen can't do it."

"What should I do when filming?" Meng Jing said curiously.

"It's very simple. Find a good director or let him be the director himself and let him do it." Lin Zixuan said, "You can't compete with Jiang Wen. You have to give him room to play. Maybe you can come up with an interesting film. Last time Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen made an urban light comedy. The rhythm of the whole film was deviated by Jiang Wen. Without Zhang Yimou's style, it cannot be said to be successful, but it is indeed very interesting."

"Some people say that Director Zhang couldn't make a good film after he collaborated with Zhang Weiping. Zhang Weiping was too commercial and different from Director Zhang's previous artistic concepts." Meng Jing tentatively said.

Meng Jing has heard of rumors that Haomeng Company and Zhang Wei have disagree.

Zhang Weiping made enemies everywhere in the entertainment industry. This is a means of hype, but it is not recognized by people in the circle. He thinks he is too utilitarian and not worthy of close friends.

"Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have different personalities. Zhang Yimou is introverted and Zhang Weiping commented on Zhang Yang. They are complementary to each other. The director and producer model is very common in China." Lin Zixuan commented, "With Zhang Weiping operating on the front desk, Zhang Yimou can make movies with peace of mind, but I always feel that their combination is not stable and the personality difference is too big, and sooner or later there will be conflicts."
