The Director of Music Department

1367. The decline of martial arts films

In fact, the standard of a great director itself does not have a clear standard.

In the early years, if we really followed the current standards, there were only a handful of great directors.

After all, in the early years, the domestic film market had only a small market, and it was naturally impossible for the first film to reach the level of 1 billion or 2 billion.

Therefore, the standard of the big directors in the early years actually depends on the influence of winning awards and the box office of the first film.

Later, anyway, I don’t know who decided it. At the beginning, if it could get a box office of 1 billion, it would be regarded as stepping into the threshold of a great director.

When it was publicized, it was called a great director, and it started from this time.

Most of the time, the media will still follow this standard.

Later, with the continuous expansion of the domestic film market, the first film has also gone from exceeding 100 million at the beginning to the current box office of nearly 6 billion!

But in fact, how many movies can reach this level?

Therefore, although the standard has been raised, with a box office of 2 billion as the threshold, it has not continued to be raised in the follow-up.

Because, even if it is 2 billion, in fact, how many movies can reach this number every year?

Wansheng Huanyu was the first to launch a publicity horn.

Tang Tian, ​​the director of "Jin Yi", can indeed be said to be the first person in the new generation of Hong Kong Island films launched by Hong Kong Island filmmakers.

Naturally, the premiere cannot be too shabby.

The Wansheng International Film City in Beijing is full of voices, because this year, the historical martial arts blockbuster "Jin Yi", which Wansheng Huanyu mainly promotes during the Spring Festival, will hold its premiere here.

Many movie fans arrived at the scene early. According to Wang Yifan's knowledge, Wansheng Huanyu spent a lot of money on the premiere of "Jin Yi". Of course, the scene must be unprecedented.

At the critical moment when Tang Tian, ​​the successor of Hong Kong films, came to support his little brother.

Among them is Cao Meng who jumped to Ahri Media and is filming the blockbuster "Jedi Agent".

There are also many well-known Hong Kong Island stars, Mainland stars and so on.

It can be said that the starlight is not an exaggeration!

Wang Yifan didn't bring Zhang Zirong this time, there was no other way, the young lady had a big belly, it was not convenient.

This time he came with Dai Xinyue from Times Light and Shadow.

It can be regarded as a signal to the outside world that Times Light and Shadow and Huaxin have really joined forces.

"Director Wang, Mr. Dai, thank you both for coming to join us!" Huang Donglai, the president of Wansheng Huanyu, came forward to greet him with great enthusiasm.

Huang Donglai was indeed quite happy.

After all, the invitation to Wang Yifan itself was a tentative invitation, and it was unexpected that Wang Yifan would actually come.

Although Wansheng Huanyu and Huaxin are also competitors, at least they are not as fierce as Ari Media.

The two sides actually cooperate on more projects than compete.

As the new president of Wansheng Huanyu, Huang Donglai was actually under a lot of pressure.

Because Wansheng Group was originally engaged in real estate, the stud entertainment industry, after the acquisition of Huanyu Media, Wansheng Huanyu also digested it for a long time.

Coincidentally, Ari Media was poaching people everywhere, and Wansheng Huanyu was also poached away many people.

In the past two years, Wansheng Huanyu's performance has not been good.

This year, the resources of the two companies have been integrated, and they have recruited filmmakers from the Hong Kong circle to launch Tang Tian, ​​the first director of the new generation of Hong Kong Island. Naturally, Wansheng Huanyu also hopes to cultivate its own great director. .

And this year's Spring Festival, the absence of major directors is undoubtedly the best opportunity for a breakthrough.

Therefore, for this year's Spring Festival, and for the current "Jinyi", it can be said that Wansheng Huanyu absolutely attaches great importance to it.

"Director Wang..." Tang Tian also seemed a little excited when he saw Wang Yifan.

"Director Wang, I haven't missed a single one of your films. You are the idol of many of our Hong Kong University students. I didn't expect to meet Director Wang today. It's really a great honor!" Tang Tian said with the appearance of a little fan .

"Hahaha! You are also very good. You can make Wansheng Huanyu pay so much attention, which means that you will soon be able to make progress!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Once upon a time, he was also a junior, but now he has become a senior.

It can only be said that there are talents from generation to generation.

To be honest, Wang Yifan is not very optimistic about Tang Tian and his "Brocade Clothes".

Not because of anything else, but because of the market. A few years ago, martial arts films were really popular, but gradually martial arts films rarely produced high-quality goods, even if they were high-quality goods, such as the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series in the previous life , but in fact, at the box office, it can only be said to be mediocre.

However, Tsui Hark's Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate at the beginning, although the word of mouth is average, the box office is relatively strong.

But even so, it didn't have a high box office.

Later, there were fewer martial arts movies that could get any high box office.

This world is actually pretty much the same. There are martial arts movies, and there are quite a few every year, but there is not a single one that can really take the lead in martial arts movies.

It is really difficult to hit the threshold of great directors with martial arts movies!

But Wang Yifan would not say such words.

Of course, it doesn't mean that martial arts movies must not work. Maybe they can create miracles?

Soon, the premiere began.

To be honest, Wang Yifan thinks the film "Jin Yi" was not bad.

Fu Huadao has done a very good job. Compared with previous Hong Kong Island filmmakers making martial arts movies and martial arts dramas Fu Huadao pulls his hips, it can be said that the progress is all-round.

Of course, it may also be because the Fuhuadao team of "Jinyi" is actually a senior team of Wansheng Huanyu.

As for the plot, it was somewhat beyond Wang Yifan's expectations.

The plot of "Jin Yi" is not bad, but it is only good.

Wang Yifan predicted that the box office of "Jin Yi" will not be too high, but the word of mouth should not be too bad.

In fact, the decline of martial arts movies is not without reason.

What is a "Xia"? Stealing from the rich and helping the poor, punishing rape and eradicating evil, killing a person in ten steps, never staying behind for a thousand miles. But with the development of the times and the sound system, there is no need for the existence of "chivalry" in society. In a society ruled by law, "ranger" is the most unstable factor in society. Heroes cannot satisfy people's needs, so naturally excellent martial arts stories will not be produced.

For example, in the early years of "Swordsman", how could Linghu Chong have so many negative opinions?

But now, Linghu Chong can be said to be the protagonist, but he is disliked by the public. He can be called a brother and brother with the prostitute Tian Boguang, but as a senior brother of the Huashan School, he hooks up with the Demon Sect, which can be said to be unfilial Extreme!

On the contrary, Yue Buqun, the once-hated villain with itching teeth, has gained a lot of sympathy.

This is the transformation of society, caused by great changes in people's thinking!

In fact, this is not only the case in China, but also the whole world. Except for martial arts films in Huaguo, samurai films in island countries, and western cowboy films in the United States, they are all in a state of decline. The reasons are mostly similar.

Most of the rest are just feelings!
