The Director of Music Department

It is a fact that it is becoming more and more difficult for martial arts movies to make a hit, and it is also the general trend.

Later, even if there were movies about martial arts, they were also martial arts, not real martial arts movies.

For example, the "Detective Di Renjie" series can not be regarded as a real martial arts movie, but more of a variety of fantasy colors.

In fact, the decline of martial arts movies also has a lot to do with the maturity of movie special effects technology.

The fighting of martial arts has long been replaced by more cool and colorful movie genres such as fairy, fantasy, magic, fantasy and so on.

Because those movies are more exaggerated and the pictures are cooler.

"Jin Yi" doesn't have too many new things. It is possible for such a movie to sell for hundreds of millions, but it is almost impossible to get a big hit.

"What do you think of Director Wang? Will this movie be our biggest competitor?" Dai Xinyue asked, turning her head.

Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Seek truth from facts, the director Wansheng Huanyu will train this time, Tang Tian is indeed quite capable and talented, and the film is pretty good, but..."

Dai Xinyue asked in surprise, "But what?"

Wang Yifan said indifferently: "But this is a martial arts movie! Looking back at the movie history of China, apart from the few early martial arts movies, which one is really a hit?"

Dai Xinyue thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.

The first big-selling costume movies are not without them, such as "Heroes Without Regrets" by Yang Long!

But that is not a martial arts movie at all, but a historical epic blockbuster. Although it may be a bit "chivalrous" in it, it is not the core.

In addition, the big sales of martial arts movies really have to go back to the billion-dollar movie era.

With a box office of over 100 million, such a movie is not enough to watch today.

Because now the top movies in the Chinese film market have reached nearly six billion. But no matter whether it's over 1 billion, 2 billion to 5 billion, there is no martial arts movie!

"This is really the case." Dai Xinyue looked dazed.

"In fact, it's not only domestic, but also abroad. Although martial arts is said to be a domestic characteristic culture, in fact, there are samurai movies in island countries, and western cowboy movies in North America. These are actually martial arts movies that have broken the core. But now it can be said that it's basically gone." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"So, there really is no chance for a martial arts movie?" Dai Xinyue frowned and asked.

Wang Yifan thought for a while, but frowned slightly: "Actually, that's not the case. The market is changeable. It is indeed impossible to adhere to the old school martial arts, but if there is something innovative, it may not be necessary."

However, Wang Yifan thought of the previous "Once Upon a Time" series. To be honest, the Huang Feihong series can actually be regarded as martial arts films, but only modern martial arts.

But in this world, it seems that there is no such person as Huang Feihong...

But this is no problem. Although there is no Huang Feihong, the era is similar.

So, when will the "Huang Feihong" series be produced, um, it is entirely possible to produce the "Once Upon a Time in China" series.

Wang Yifan was distracted for a while.

Even after the movie was over, he still sat in place and didn't move.

"Director Wang, Director Wang!" It wasn't until Dai Xinyue yelled twice that Wang Yifan came back to his senses.

"The movie is over!" Dai Xinyue whispered.

"Oh, I'm sorry to be distracted." Wang Yifan shook his head and laughed.

"What did Director Wang think?" Dai Xinyue asked curiously.

"I wonder if there is any hope for martial arts movies..." Wang Yifan said.

"Then the result?" Dai Xinyue asked more and more curiously.

"It's not easy to say for the time being, but I have some ideas." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Oh? Then don't forget the light and shadow of our time, Director Wang." Dai Xinyue said with excitement.

Wang Yifan nodded nonchalantly.

At this time, the creator of "Jin Yi" took the stage to thank you.

The audience's reaction was quite enthusiastic.

After Tang Tian and other main creative members came to the stage to talk about the creation of the film, the premiere ceremony ended.

After that, Tang Tian and Huang Dong came and walked over again.

"Director Tang's "Jin Yi" was shot very well. I saw it with great care." Wang Yifan said sincerely, seeking truth from facts, saying that the film "Jin Yi" is still quite good, but it's a pity that he was born in a bad time.

If this kind of movie were in the early years, there would be a chance to give it a try, but for the same reason, it was difficult to make such a movie in China in the early years.

But Wang Yifan naturally wouldn't tell them this directly as he said to Dai Xinyue.

"Director Wang has been acclaimed. In fact, many voices have been saying that the Chinese martial arts movie is dead over the years. I am just not reconciled..." Tang Tian smiled bitterly.

It made Wang Yifan quite surprised.

"No type is really dead. If there is, it means that we have not followed the trend and bring forth the new!" What can Wang Yifan say?

"I would like to ask Director Wang for advice, such as the movie "Jin Yi"." Tang Tian is not polite at all. Of course, he is not angry, but his attitude is very respectful.

"In terms of service and Taoism, "Jin Yi" did a very good job. In terms of the story, it was integrated into the court battle, which was also a highlight, but..." Wang Yifan said here and stopped.

"Just what?" Tang Tian asked sincerely.

"It's just a pity that, as you said before, martial arts movies have indeed fallen a bit. This is the general trend. "Jin Yi" has still not broken away from the inherent martial arts pattern..."

"In fact, it's like, in the early years, many viewers especially liked to watch TV series with private interviews on Weifu, but now why there are few such series? It is because the public security is getting better and better, and the wrong and wrong cases are getting better and better. There are fewer and fewer visits. The reason why everyone likes private visits on WeChat is that there were still some cases where there was no way to complain and seek justice. But now that science and technology are advanced, politics is connected and people are harmonious, the public has a wide range of appeals. Channels, so it is naturally difficult for the microservices to visit privately, and the martial arts are the same."

"The subject of martial arts was the only way for major famous directors to move toward blockbuster movies ten years ago. However, with the excessive reliance on special effects of movies, the quality of martial arts movies has become less and less satisfactory. The number of martial arts movies has also been reduced year by year, and the box office has increased. Weak, for movies, it is also periodic. Maybe martial arts movies have reached a peak period. Without new ideas, they will start a transformation to become a new martial arts and new special effects movies." Wang Yifan couldn't help but say Said it.

Tang Tian also laughed bitterly when he heard this, but he still asked humbly: "Then Director Wang thinks where is the way out for martial arts movies?"

"A way out? As the most Chinese-style movie genre, the prospect of martial arts movies is still great, and this chivalrous spirit can only breed on the fertile soil of China. In fact, the concept of martial arts in China and the island nation There is still a big difference between the Samurai Warriors, American Western Cowboys, etc. The biggest difference lies in the layout. As for how to change the existing script, I don’t have any clues for the time being. I just hope that future martial arts movies can pay more attention. Focus more on the creation of the word "Xia" instead of just working **** the gorgeous pictures. This will really make you pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon!"
