Man sat on Yin Xiu's shoulder, holding his glasses with both paws and putting them on his eyes, staring at the big screen in front of him without blinking. +◆Ting+◆+◆+◆,..

Although it doesn't understand English, it can't understand the subtitles above.

However, it was the first time to experience such a d effect. It still made Man very excited. His big furry tail swayed from time to time. He couldn't help turning his head and barking at Yin Xiu, and stretched out a paw to point at the screen in front of him. The scene seemed to be telling Yin Xiu something.

The sound was not loud, but the scream still attracted the attention of several people nearby. Hearing this strange cry, they couldn't help but look sideways.

Fortunately, the theater was dark at the moment, so he couldn't see clearly. Yin Xiu quickly shushed Man, telling him to be quiet and stop barking.

Quite obediently, he didn't scream again and continued to watch the movie.

Yin Xiu himself also returned his attention to the screen...

Ji Xueqing and Jiang Xianxian each held a bucket of popcorn and stuffed one into their mouths from time to time, keeping their eyes fixed on the screen.

After more than two hours, the film finally ended.

After the end of the film appeared, before the lights in the theater came on, Yin Xiu asked Man to get into his pants pocket to avoid attracting onlookers later...

"Phew, it's over, let's go..." As the lights in the theater came on, Jiang Xingxuan stood up.

Most of the people in the theater also stood up one after another, and there was a murmur of discussion, basically discussing the content of the movie they had just watched.

Yin Xiu listened for a while, and it seemed that most people were satisfied with the movie just now.

After a while, Yin Xiu, Ji Xueqing, and Jiang Shanshan exited the theater together. After returning the D-glasses to the staff at the door and asking for the 20 yuan deposit back, the three of them left the cinema.

Although I was already in my early sixties at this time, the summer sky was still very early, and the sun had not yet set.

"Yin Xiu, what did you think of the movie just now? Did the effect look good?" Jiang Shanxian asked.

Yin Xiu smiled and said: "Well, it's not bad. The d effect really makes people feel immersed in reality, and the picture is also very detailed and beautiful. However, the plot is a little weaker, very simple and old set."

"That's right." Jiang Xianshan smiled and said, "This kind of Hollywood blockbuster is mainly about special effects. The plot has always been the 'weakness' of Hollywood commercial movies."

"Well, that's right. This kind of commercial film is the mainstream of the film market now. If the plot is too complicated, the audience may not buy it. Most people watch movies just for fun and leisure. This kind of film does not require too much brainpower. Commercial films that can be understood by thinking about them are the ones that audiences can easily accept."

Ji Xueqing said.

"Yeah, that's right." Yin Xiutou said, "When watching a movie in a theater, if the plot is too complicated, it will make the audience feel that it is difficult to watch. It is indeed unpleasant."

"Yes, that's the truth. So now simple and direct commercial films are the mainstream in theaters." Ji Xueqing responded.

Yin Xiudao: "It seems that there is a reason why Hollywood commercial films are so popular in China. They have indeed grasped the essence of the market, and the special effects are really great. But..."

"But what?"

Yin Xiu smiled and said: "I just feel that the combat effectiveness of the so-called superheroes inside is too weak."

"Do you think the superheroes in the movie just now are weak in combat?" Jiang Xingxuan looked at Yin Xiu in surprise.

"Yeah." Yin Xiu nodded and said: "It does feel quite weak. Forget about those superheroes who are just 'transformed' from ordinary people. That Thunder God, since he is the so-called God Clan, and he is still an intermediate God Clan. existence, the combat effectiveness shown in the film is indeed too weak."

Yin Xiu indeed feels so. If the mid-level warriors of the God Clan only have the fighting power shown in the movie, in Yin Xiu's opinion, they are indeed weak.

Of course, a movie is just a movie after all, and cannot be measured by his concept of power belonging to a cultivator.

"That's true of you. There is indeed something wrong with the setting of Thor's power. It should be that it was deliberately weakened to a level similar to other superheroes for the sake of the plot." Jiang Shanshan said. This time she quite agreed with Yin Xiu's words.

Ji Xueqing said: "Isn't this the case with superhero movies like this in Hollywood? If you look closely, many aspects of plot and character design may not stand up to scrutiny. The audience's focus will not be on these aspects, so even if the movie itself It has a lot of flaws, but it can still sell well all over the world."

"This is the great thing about Hollywood commercial films. Not only do they crush everything in the English-speaking area, they can also become popular in other non-English-speaking areas, such as our country. It seems that although our country's movie box office has continued to rise significantly in recent years, Nearly half of the box office is taken by foreign Hollywood movies."

Jiang Xianxuan sighed with emotion.

"Yes, our Chinese movies can only rely on some comedies, action movies and the like to support the scene, but it is difficult to have big-selling special effects movies." Ji Xueqing couldn't help but sigh.

This is the current situation of Chinese movies.

Jiang Xianxian, who is half of the entertainment industry, feels more deeply about this, "There is nothing we can do about it. This is the current situation of our Chinese film industry. Even if there are occasional so-called big investments and big productions, most of the investment is actually spent on them." On those movie stars."

"Even if there is an investment of 100 million, most of it is spent on the remuneration of the participating stars, and there is still 30 to 50 million left. What kind of special effects can be produced? What's more, this is only Huaxia Coin , incomparable to the value of the US dollar, the gap can be imagined. It is no wonder that Chinese film and television dramas are always complained about the "five-cent special effects"... "

"Well, I really hope that one day our own Chinese films will be able to compete with these big commercial productions in Hollywood." Ji Xueqing said with emotion.

After decades of development, China has been improving rapidly in all aspects, but the gap with the Western world is still obvious in many fields, including film and television.

"Our China's special effects production capabilities should not be much inferior to Hollywood's, right?" Yin Xiudao.

Jiang flashed his head, "If you are willing to spend a lot of money to do special effects seriously, it will indeed not be much inferior to Hollywood. But the key is that there are very few people who are willing to spend so much money on special effects."

"If special effects take up too much investment, then the amount of remuneration left for actors will naturally be reduced accordingly, and it will be impossible to find a star with high appeal to join. Nowadays, which movie star with great box office appeal is not worth a lot? Ten million level."

"If our company develops in the future and has sufficient funds, we can find someone to invest in a big special effects production that belongs to China. At that time, we will spend all the money on special effects. As for the actors, , just find some capable actors with enough acting skills..."

Yin Xiu said half-jokingly.

Jiang Shanshan said: "What about the box office? Without big names joining the movie, the movie's box office will be worrying."

Yin Xiu shrugged and said: "That depends on what the investors think. Anyway, in my opinion, you don't need to care so much about box office. In one sentence, it's just that feeling. As for whether the audience will buy it or not, there is no need. It’s too fussy. As long as you work hard to create a work worthy of praise, it’s a loss if you lose.”

Yin Xiu doesn't care about money at all. Even if he does invest in making movies in the future and makes money and loses money, he won't take it to heart.

Of course, this is just him. As for whether he really wants to try making a movie in the future, only God knows.

Jiang Xianxian chuckled and said: "Then I will wait for your company to develop soon. If you really invest in a big production, as an investor, you have to leave a role for me! "

Ji Xueqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said: "Okay, if our company can really develop, we will definitely invest in a big-budget movie. The heroine of the movie will be left to you, so you can Improve your acting skills well, and don’t be criticized by others for not being up to par with your acting skills, haha... "

I watched The Return of the Great Sage. The d effect was pretty good, but it was a little short and the plot was a bit weak~
