And [If You Are the One] said at the beginning, I didn't have the dream of Notting Hill.
It's a love story, then a comedy. Not to mention the comedy part, from my classmates to the aunt who relished the lines in the play, from my classmates to the aunt who was laughing after watching the movie, Director Feng succeeded. But is this comedy the coat of a story, or is it a skin? Of course, the skin mentioned here is not the kind in [painted skin] that can be peeled off at any time. Just like Jackie Chan's kung fu movie, you don't need a knife or a sword, you can hit whatever you grab, this is real kung fu. Anyone can use a gun, but that's boring. If you want to be funny, it will change from polishing to creating. If you want to fall in love and enter the country, you will return to the love story. Nowadays, love stories are very contemporary, so whether the story itself is good or not is not something the screenwriter can control. I am afraid that there are not many screenwriters who dare to fool the audience with true love these days. Except for Japanese pure love movies, Japanese dramas and movies are all in that tune, so they also have an audience base. Movies are also commodities. The audience is no longer dreaming of Notting Hill, and of course the director will not join in the fun. There is nothing sad or sad, just like what Qin Fen said, I just like you for being stupid and stubborn in love. After turning his page, it will be my turn. What we pay attention to these days is a reality, isn't this love, isn't this story a love story?
The love in the movie is like this, and so is our love for the movie. Love movies, what kind of love? As audiences, we obediently pay to go to the cinema to watch a movie, but after watching the movie, we are somewhat unbalanced. Directors don't love movies anymore, how can we love it? One of the marketing concepts says to hate your own product, because if you don't ruthlessly eliminate it, your competitors will. Sony just loves its product too much and suffers a big loss. Movies are also commodities, and I have to hate them. It’s not good to not shoot commercials, and it’s not good to not cater to the petty bourgeoisie and above who go to the cinema to watch movies. The restaurant should be upscale and stylish; if you want to fly in first class, you must frown when you hear the word “economy class”; you must travel abroad, not Paris or New York. If you go to places with few people, it fully shows that our taste has changed from show to show. The level has risen to the level of show you know, and it is fashionable; the car you drive, the hotel you stay in, you have nothing to say, and you have to show a look that you don't care about these things, but only care about you love me. So I understood, don't be shy when watching a movie, you have to eat a lot of popcorn. The love of this era must be ambiguous, and it must be true and false, and false and true. This is also the guiding ideology of loving movies now.
The audience's taste determines the market, and those who make movies follow the market. But the film industry is still a cultural industry after all. Relying on the market as the lead, it can only become more and more unreliable. In the end, the market does not pay the bill. It’s fine, so the revolution has to start.
(Of course, there are also artists in the world, but unfortunately I can't buy your genuine CDs, I'm really sorry, I'm absolutely true to you. However, now I don't have the dream of Notting Hill anymore)
