The opening forum of the 28th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival
Time Net News The opening ceremony of the 28th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will be held tonight. Before the event, the organizer invited Wang Changtian, Chairman of Enlight Media, and directors Xue Xiaolu, Li Shaohong and Guo. Fan et al. held an opening forum in Xiamen. At the scene, Wang Changtian said that "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" had a box office of nearly 5 billion, which was completely unexpected. He did not want the film to have such a high box office; and Guo Fan revealed the title of "The Wandering Earth" The progress of the sequel requires at least 3-4 years to polish the script, sort out the audience research, build the worldview and conceptual design.
Wang Changtian: "Nezha"'s high box office is because the market is not balanced, and there are not enough good products. That high box office. At the Golden Rooster Awards forum, Wang Changtian stated that the initial market goal of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is to surpass "The Return of the Great Sage" (1 billion box office), but he did not expect to have nearly 5 billion (actually 4.972 billion). But he does not expect a single film to have such a high box office, because this is the feedback that the film market is not balanced and there are not enough good products.
He explained: "If there is not only one film with a box office of 5 billion, but we have five films with a box office of 1 billion, it may be a healthier situation." In addition, he thinks that "Nezha" has exploded because Its values and emotions reflect the present. "My fate is my fate—it reflects the worries and doubts many young people have about the future after the economy has entered a period of slow development. For example, the grassroots solidification, the reduced chance of success, etc.. The theme of "Nezha" is your fate. It’s up to you to decide. This theme fits the young people’s thinking very well."
Guo Fan: "The Wandering Earth" will start shooting at least 4 years later, and the story focuses more on emotions. Said that the "Wandering Earth" sequel will start shooting at least four years later, and the story and audience survey results are still being sorted out. He revealed that the sequel will take 3-4 years to write the script, build the world view and conceptual design, the story focuses more on emotional description, and the special effects are more refined. Guo Fan feels that "Wandering Earth" has just passed the world science fiction sequence, and hopes that the sequel can reach 70 points.
Guo Fan said that the production level of "Wandering Earth" is 25-30 years away from the Hollywood industry. When he was watching Hollywood documentaries in the 1990s, he found that the situation he encountered was very similar to that of Hollywood back then. But the special effects of "Wandering Earth" are still close to the level of Hollywood special effects, 10-15 years away.
