The Director of Music Department

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

Later, even if there were martial arts-like movies, they were still martial arts-like movies, not real martial arts movies.

For example, the "Detective Di Renjie" series is also not a real martial arts movie, but more of adding various 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The fighting of martial arts has long been replaced by more cool and colorful fairy tales, fantasy, magic, fantasy and other movie types.

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

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

"What does Director Wang think? Will this movie be our biggest competitor?" Dai Xinyue turned her head to the side and asked.

Wang Yifan smiled and said: "To be honest, the director Wansheng Huanyu will train this time, this Tang Tian is indeed quite capable and talented, and the filmmaking is not bad, but..."

Dai Xinyue asked in surprise when she heard the words: "But what?"

Wang Yifan said indifferently: "But this is a martial arts movie! Looking back on the film history of Huaguo, apart from the few martial arts movies in the early days, which one is really considered a hit?"

Dai Xinyue thought about it carefully, and it was true.

There are not none of the earliest popular costume movies, such as Yang Long's "A Hero Has No Regrets"!

But that is not a martial arts movie at all, but a historical epic blockbuster. Although there is a bit of "chivalry" in it, it is not the core.

In addition, martial arts movies sell well, and they really have to go back to the era of 100 million yuan movies.

With a box office of more than 100 million yuan, for today, such a movie is not enough to watch.

Because now the top films in the Huaguo film market have reached nearly six billion. But no matter if it breaks 1 billion, 2 billion or even 5 billion, none of them are martial arts movies!

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

"In fact, not only in China, but also in foreign countries. Although martial arts is a characteristic culture in China, in fact, there are samurai movies in island countries, and western cowboy movies in North America. These actually break the core, and they are almost martial arts movies. But now it can be said that they are basically gone." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"So, martial arts movies really have no chance?" Dai Xinyue asked with a frown.

Wang Yifan thought for a while, but frowned slightly and said: "Actually, that's not the case. The market is changeable. It's true that sticking to the old school of martial arts is not enough, but if there is something innovative, that's not necessarily the case."

However, Wang Yifan thought of the previous "Once Upon a Time" series. To be honest, the "Once Upon a Time" series can actually be considered a martial arts film, but it is just a modern martial arts film.

But in this world, there seems to be no such person as Huang Feihong...

But this is no problem, although there is no Huang Feihong, but that era is similar.

So, when, when the "Huang Feihong" series can be produced, um, the "Hua Guo Past Events" series can be produced.

Wang Yifan was distracted for a while.

Even when the movie was over, he still sat there without moving.

"Director Wang, Director Wang!" Wang Yifan didn't recover until Dai Xinyue called out twice.

"The movie is over!" Dai Xinyue whispered.

"Oh, I'm sorry I was a little distracted." Wang Yifan shook his head and laughed.

"What was Director Wang thinking just now?" Dai Xinyue asked curiously.

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

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

"It's hard to say yet, but I have some ideas." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"Oh? Then Director Wang, don't forget the lights and shadows of our era." Dai Xinyue said excitedly.

Wang Yifan nodded noncommittally.

At this time, the main creator of "Jin Yi" came to the stage to express his thanks.

The audience's reaction was quite enthusiastic.

After Tang Tian and other main creative members came to the stage and said something about the creation of the film, the premiere ceremony came to an end.

After that, Tang Tian and Huang Donglai walked over again.

"Director Tang's "Jin Yi" is very good. It can be seen that he put his heart into it." Wang Yifan said sincerely, and said that "Jin Yi" is quite good, but it's a pity that it was born at an untimely time.

If such a movie was made in the early years, it would indeed have 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 directly like he told Dai Xinyue.

"Director Wang is overrated. In fact, many voices have been saying that Hua Guo martial arts movies are dead over the years. I'm just not reconciled..." Tang Tian said with a wry smile.

On the contrary, Wang Yifan was quite surprised.

"There is no genre that is really dead. If there is, it is because we have not followed the trend and brought forth the new!" What can Wang Yifan say?

"Director Wang, please give me some pointers, such as the movie "Jinyi"." Tang Tian was not polite at all. Of course, he was not speaking in anger, but his attitude was very respectful.

"In terms of persuading Taoism, "Brocade Clothes" did a very good job. In terms of the story, it is also a bright spot when it is integrated into the court battle, but..." Wang Yifan stopped at this point.

"Just what?" Tang Tian asked sincerely.

"It's just that, unfortunately, as you said before, martial arts movies have indeed declined. This is the general trend. "Jin Yi" still hasn't broken away from the inherent martial arts pattern..."

"Actually, it's like, in the early years, many viewers especially liked to watch TV dramas about Weibo's private interviews, but why are there so few such dramas now? It's because social security is getting better and better, and unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are getting worse. They come less and less. The reason why everyone likes Weibo private visits is because, at that time, there were still some situations where there was no way to appeal for grievances, and there was no way to seek justice. But now that technology is advanced, the government is well-organized and the people are harmonious, the public has a wide range of appeals. channels, so it is naturally difficult for private interviews on microservices to gain popularity, and the same is true for martial arts."

"The subject of martial arts was the only way for famous directors to make blockbuster films ten years ago, but as they relied too much on special effects, the quality of martial arts movies became unsatisfactory. The number of martial arts movies is also decreasing year by year, and the box office is getting worse. Weakness, for movies, it is also cyclical, maybe martial arts movies have reached a peak period, and without new ideas, they will start a transformation to become new martial arts and new stunt films." Wang Yifan couldn't help but say Speak up.

Tang Tian smiled wryly when he heard the words, but he still asked humbly: "So what does Director Wang think is the way out for martial arts movies?"

"The way out? As the most characteristic film genre in China, martial arts films still have a great prospect, and this kind of chivalrous spirit can only breed on the fertile soil of Hua Guo. In fact, the concept of martial arts in Hua Guo is similar to that of island countries. There are still big differences between the samurai and the western cowboys in the United States. The biggest difference lies in the layout. As for how to change the existing script, I have no idea for the time being. Concentrate more on the creation of the character "Xia" instead of just working hard on the gorgeous pictures, so that it is really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon!"
