Chapter 117 Top level vs. above the top!

..........

The studio was quiet for a while, and then Fang Ziheng's clear voice sounded again.

"In the past two years, the "Ip Man" series, which can be said to be the best kung fu movies, has been very popular in many regions in Southeast Asia."

"It is such a high-quality kung fu movie, but it failed in Europe and the United States. Most foreigners said it was incomprehensible!"

"Why?"

After Fang Ziheng finished speaking, he looked at the host Yang Lan calmly.

Why?

Yang Lan also raised a question mark in his heart.

The audience in the audience also looked puzzled when they heard this.

"Ip Man 1" was released last year and was well received, achieving very good results throughout Southeast Asia.

Data shows that "Ip Man 1" earned a box office of US$13.72 million in the Mainland.

Hong Kong Island costs US$3.3 million and Taiwan Province US$801,000.

Singapore is US$2.05 million and Malaysia is US$1.448 million.

The Philippines is US$51,000 and Smecta is US$548,000.

New Zealand is US$10,000 and the United Arab Emirates is US$168,000.

The total global box office of "Ip Man 1" reached US$22.11 million.

Although they are far behind Uncle Long and Brother Jie, their results in Southeast Asia are indeed very good.

So why is it OK in Southeast Asia, but not acclimated to Europe and the United States?

Because audiences in Southeast Asia are very receptive to our Chinese culture, while most audiences in Europe and the United States cannot understand the movie, Ip Man's approach and the background of the times.

They just want to watch a 'wonderful' action movie.

Fang Ziheng didn't hide anything, he went straight to the core of the problem and analyzed the reasons why "Ip Man 1" is not popular in Europe and the United States.

Then, he analyzed the major genres of costume, comedy, suspense, and disaster, but left out the two major genres of science fiction and mythology.

The meaning behind the words is to tell everyone, first cultivate your internal strength, don't know how to export it to the outside world every day, the best way is to guard your home and fight a good defensive war!

As he spoke more, Yang Lan's face became more and more surprised, and her initial evaluation of him changed again and again.

At this moment, Fang Ziheng not only showed strong self-confidence, but also showed his sharp edge, completely shrinking back his usual stability and calmness.

Damn it!

He has long wanted to spit it out!

If we do not pour cold water on domestic films, after two years of capital entering the market, we will be left with nothing but feathers, beaten to pieces by Hollywood blockbusters.

Of course, it was because of the huge hit of "Tang Detective" that Fang Ziheng became the director with a single film with a box office of over 500 million in the Mainland, so he dared to take the opportunity to start a fight today.

If he were an ordinary director, who would be the one to guide the country?

However, Fang Ziheng didn't say anything extreme. He just advised his colleagues and other filmmakers to make movies well and talk about dreams later.

After discussing this issue, the scene fell into silence again.

Yang Lan picked up the teacup and drank water to cover up her inner embarrassment.

She was considering whether to broadcast this segment.

After all, everyone from top to bottom is clamoring to revitalize Chinese-language films, go out and conquer cities and territories, and export China’s traditional culture.

Fang Ziheng's remarks are very sharp and truly belong to the sober world.

After thinking about it, Yang Lan gestured to the program director to continue recording.

If something happens, she will take care of it!

...........

After resting for a while, Yang Lan asked another question.

"Director Fang, what level of film do you think "Tang Detective" is?"

Just now, Fang Ziheng said that "Ip Man 1" was a top-notch film. She lent flowers to Buddha and let him brag about it.

"Well..."

Fang Ziheng was stunned and looked at Yang Lan in surprise.

Yang Lan's eyes were bright and she looked at him with a smile. She gently raised her long legs wrapped in foam and changed into a lady's sitting position.

hiss....

No way!

Fang Ziheng had a feeling that something was wrong with the imperial sister in front of him.

Damn...

She doesn't want to have sex with me, does she?

Not generous, absolutely not allowed!

Fang Ziheng lowered his head slightly, ignored Yang Lan's glance, and said calmly: "The movie "Tang Detective" is almost perfect in terms of combining comedy and detective. If you have to give it a position!"

“Top level!”

Before Yang Lan could speak, he continued: "But this top level is just a positioning in the comedy detective genre.

Zooming in on all types of films, "Tang Detective" can only be regarded as first-rate."

“First class?”

Yang Lan spoke softly and asked with a trace of uncertainty.

“Yes, it’s first class!”

Fang Zi's tone was affirmative, without any hint of hypocrisy or humility.

The quality of "Tang Detective" is very good in the two fields of comedy and detective, but it cannot be compared in all categories.

Seeing that he was so sure, Yang Lan did not hesitate and continued: "Director Fang just mentioned the terms first-class and top-notch, so I would like to ask, are there any other classifications above top-notch?"

"Yes, of course!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene became interested.

Not to mention the audience, even the staff of the program team in the studio all pricked up their ears.

Yang Lan smiled, very happily.

Tonight, the invitation to Fang Ziheng was not in vain!

"Director Fang, can you tell me, in your opinion, among the domestic films, which films have reached the top level in quality, and which films have reached the top level in quality?"

"Sister Yang Lan, your understanding is wrong!"

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and pointed out the loopholes in Yang Lan's words.

"Oh...what's wrong?"

"Movies are visual products, and their level cannot be defined by the word 'quality' alone."

"What's the meaning?"

Yang Lan frowned and asked in confusion.

Fang Ziheng did not answer her questions, and asked with a smile: "Due to equipment and funding problems, many aspects of the movies shot decades ago are not as good as now, but they have become classics. Sister Yang Lan, what do you think is the reason?

"

"I understand!"

Yang Lan suddenly realized that he had gone into a misunderstanding.

Film has a history of a hundred years. As a visual product, it involves many types of work, scripts, production, lighting, shooting, props, etc. and involves a series of issues.

After the finished film was released, in front of a large audience, the standard cannot be defined solely by the word "quality".

Some movies have good comedy effects, but their plots are full of loopholes.

The plots of some movies are intelligent, but the way they serve is eye-catching.

Some movies have mediocre plots, but the actors are powerful enough to make people deeply immersed in them.

And some movies have superb pictures and full visual effects, which sometimes cover up other problems.

Fang Ziheng ordered several top-notch movies, including "Assembly" by Feng Tongtong, "Kung Fu" by Xing Ye, "Peak Moment" by Uncle Long, "Once Upon a Time" and "Invincible in the East" by Brother Jie, Li Yian's

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

In his opinion, these movies represent the pinnacle of a field and have definitely reached the top level.

Yang Lan smiled lightly, neither refuting nor agreeing, and instantly became a listening woman.

After listening, she waved to her assistant and asked her assistant to bring two cups of freshly brewed coffee, and asked casually: "What words do you think should be used to define a top-notch movie?"

Fang Ziheng took the coffee, thanked the assistant, and then fell into a brief silence.

Above the top level!

What vocabulary should be used to call it?

Yang Lan did not rush, stirred the small spoon in the coffee cup, and waited quietly for his answer.

Under the stage.

The audience was whispering and discussing in low voices.

Ten seconds later!

Fang Ziheng's eyes flickered, he shook the coffee in his hand twice, looked at the camera and spoke slowly.

“Above the top level!”
Chapter completed!
