Chapter 1604 Debate

Next to the famous film critic Ms. Shen Qingyan said: "Mr. Xiao, you are very good at changing the subject. Now we are going to talk about your film first, and then we will talk about the issues derived from this film."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, then I will answer Mr. Lai's question in another way. The director makes a movie after careful consideration. Before the filming started, I knew that "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" must be It will be liked by movie fans, because even the screenwriter like me can't stand the laughs in it, let alone others. Of course, I also know very well that it will be criticized by teachers like "Charlotte Trouble". But So what? You can't just let me give up making this comedy movie that can make hundreds of millions of people laugh because of your dozens and hundreds of film critics. Hehe, no one will lose the big things because of the small things. Can do."

Shen Qingyan said: "Then Mr. Xiao, how much do you give to "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance"?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "I don't know. Doctors don't heal themselves, and the people who have the most say should be those who have seen the movie."

Lai Changping sighed and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you know that our Film Critics Association really respects you very, very much. Although you are young and you haven't made many movies, your achievements have made all the People in the industry look up. But I never imagined that you would make such a nutritious film that is seriously inconsistent with your identity, which is really very distressing."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Mr. Lai, first of all, I want to thank you for valuing me, and secondly, what I want to say is that I position myself as a director and an actor, and there is no such thing as a great identity. Many media have He is boasting that I am the number one director in the world, and that I am the bearer of the flag in Chinese movies. Hehe, these titles really flatter me a little. I don’t think I have that much ability or ability, I just want to Just make some movies that fans will like. When a person feels that he is better than himself, maybe the next moment waiting for him is failure.”

"Clap clap clap."

"well said."

"It's a good thing to say, be humble and humble."

Xiao Yunhai's words not only won applause from the audience, but even Lai Changping and Shen Qingyan applauded.

Lai Changping said: "Mr. Xiao, it's really amazing that you have such a consciousness."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Lai, I have read your comments on "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance". The words are not pleasant, but they did not exceed my expectations. With all due respect, teachers, do you think you are commenting on a movie? During the movie, the position of the station was a little high?"

Lai Chang and others looked at each other and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "When I decided to participate in this debate,

I've looked online for movie ratings for nearly a decade and found a big problem. For more than 95% of the literary and artistic films, your scores are all much higher than the average score of movie fans, and there are more than 30 movies that even exceed three points. And for those commercial films, your scores are often much lower than those of movie fans. In other words, in your eyes, commercial films are inferior to literary films, right? "

Lai Changping thought about it for a while, nodded, and said, "I don't deny this. We film critics do pay more attention to films with a strong artistic flavor."

Xiao Yunhai asked, "Don't you think this is a problem?"

Shen Qingyan said: "Huaxia filmmakers have the responsibility to spread culture. When they come across a really good-looking film full of artistry and humanity, they will definitely give high marks and recommend them to movie fans. This is what we film critics must do. . Is there anything wrong with that?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, but have you ever thought about whether fans can accept this kind of film? To be honest, I can't understand many literary films, and the people who are involved in the dialogue and plot don't care. How many points will you give for the seeds?"

Lai Changping frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? Are you saying that we are high and widowed?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Don't Mr. Lai think you are going down this road now? Whether it is our directors, actors or your film critics, we all have a common service target, and that is the audience. With all due respect, I I think the reason for such a big difference in movie ratings is because the teachers’ perspectives on a movie are obviously different from that of the audience. The vast majority of audiences don’t care about literary or commercial films. For them, there are only two A standard, good and bad."

"Take my "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" as an example. Why do you give it zero marks?"

Lai Changping didn't think about it, then said: "Because it lacks the slightest artistry, lacks humanism, and is full of spoofs from beginning to end, it's funny for the sake of being funny. Of course we won't give it a high score."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Mr. Lai, then I want to ask, why must a comedy film made just to make people laugh, why must it be artistic? The purpose of my filming "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is very simple. Well, I want everyone to be able to laugh and be happy when they watch this movie. Obviously, I did. I personally think the only measure of a comedy's success is whether it brings the audience Laughter, the louder the audience laughs, the more successful it will be. On the contrary, even if a comedy is artistic and the audience doesn’t laugh, is it still a comedy?”

"Clap clap clap."

Xiao Yunhai's words once again aroused applause from the audience.

"The Emperor Yun is right. The purpose of comedy films is to make them laugh."

"It's no wonder that the films made by Emperor Yun can get such good box office. Because his perspective on problems is the same as ours, success is naturally easy."

Not only the audience, but also Lai Changping fell into contemplation.

He suddenly thought of his son's words. Although they were slightly different from Xiao Yunhai's words, they both had the same meaning.

Could it be that Xiao Yunhai's point of view is correct?

This made a gap in Lai Changping's confidence.

"Mr. Xiao, according to your opinion, everyone can go to make commercial films, so why make art films?" Shen Qingyan said.

"Of course not." Xiao Yunhai said without thinking about it, "I didn't belittle art films. What I want to express is that the four characters are both elegant and popular. We should not only value those films with a strong artistic color, but we should also A fair perspective on those films with strong commercial elements. If you want to promote Chinese culture, it is absolutely impossible to blindly follow the line of literature and art. Why are art films generally inferior to commercial films at the box office? Our directors should ponder this question carefully. Even domestic fans can't understand a movie, if it is screened abroad, it is strange that the box office is good."

Jiao Fangtao nodded, agreeing with this, saying: "In the beginning, when I was shooting "Xiao Cui", the most difficult part was how to make foreign audiences understand the meaning of my film. A familiar idiom, In foreign countries, no fans can understand it at all. They can't even understand the movie, so how can we promote Chinese culture. Including our current "Sword Immortal", we have invited more than 20 Chinese and foreign experts to translate it. It took a month to get it done. Even so, I can't guarantee that "Sword Immortal" will achieve good results."

Shen Qingyan said, "Mr. Xiao, Director Jiao, are we digressing?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "It is indeed a little bit, then let's go back. Teachers, I think a truly excellent film critic should not be too high-minded like many literati, but should look at a film from the perspective of an audience. Movies. Because your movie reviews are written for the audience, to help them understand the pros and cons of this movie, for them to choose. Seriously, whether it is a director, an actor or a film critic, the meaning of existence is ultimately for the public. And The public's eyes are the same, that is, good movies, good film reviews. On the contrary, we are nothing."

To please, to please the naked, Xiao Yunhai's words raised the audience to the highest position, immediately aroused the resonance of the audience, and overwhelming applause resounded throughout the live broadcast room.
