This director is very reliable

Chapter 391 Strange People Mixed In (14)

In the big box of the Chinese restaurant, a group of people gathered together...

It's rare to meet, of course we have to get together!

However, Guan Hu got in and directly said that Shen Changlin was a bit too much just now.

Shen Changlin was a little annoyed by Guan Hu's slightly accusatory words, and he directly retorted: "What's wrong with me telling the truth? Maybe after listening to my explanation, Shen Changlin repents and eventually becomes a generation of masters!"

"But he is a senior after all!"

"...So, I should follow his words and say that the audience doesn't understand him? As a director, I stand on the opposite side of the audience? Am I sick?"

Xu Guangtou helped to say: "For movies, nine of the ten projects are bad, and eight of them lose money and two make money. It is already very good that "1942" can be released. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to blame the audience and the market!"

Shen Changlin: "No matter how awesome a director is, he has no right to scold the audience, because you are pointing at them to eat!"

Guan Huo froze for a moment, and stopped talking...

He was probably not convinced, after all, the children of the big courtyard felt that they were superior to others since they were young.

What happened to me scolding the audience?A bunch of idiots who know nothing about movies!

Shen Changlin looked at Guan Hu and asked, "I'm curious, why didn't you go to Huayi's reception?"

Huayi also held a reception...

This group of people is very keen on hosting a party. There are a mixed bag of guests, including college students who are volunteers, and young girls with dreams.

Surrounded by these young bodies, it seems that they can prove their worth!
"I'll go later, mainly to get acquainted...Are you going?"

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "I don't like that kind of occasion... Hey, Ning Hao, has "No Man's Land" been shortlisted for Berlin?"

"Well, are you familiar with there?"

"...I'm not familiar with you, the chairman of the jury this year is James Shams, the producer of Li Amine..."

"I heard that Liang Chaowei is a member of the jury?"

"I don't like Liang Chaowei very much..."

"why?"

"The movie "Lust, Caution" caused me to have a bad feeling towards Li An and Liang Chaowei!"

Guan Hua interjected: "You don't like "Lust, Caution"?"

"I don't think that movie should be released. Apart from the pornography, I think it glorifies traitors!"

"But this is true human nature! No matter whether it is a great man or a villain, his whole life cannot be full of good things. A person's merits are greater than his faults, or his faults are greater than his merits. It cannot be said that he is completely good. Human nature is only Imperfection is real, and how can one truly explore human beings if they dare not admit the complexity of human nature?"

"It's true that human nature is complicated, but there are some things that cannot be admired! Especially the director Li An who has such a great reputation..."

"What's wrong with the director's expression like this?"

"I think there's nothing wrong with being disgusting? What's wrong, the director can express it freely, but I can't express it?"

"Okay, okay..." Ning Hao stopped the discussion between the two, and asked Shen Changlin with a smile: "...What about Tang Wei? The heroine of "Lust, Caution"!"

"Tang Wei..." Shen Changlin thought about Purple Grape, swallowed, and said: "Life is forced! Therefore, I always feel that the General Administration is quite useless. Why did you block Tang Wei? If you want to block it, you should block Li Amine. There is Liang Chaowei!"

While chatting, Huang Bo, Shi Shi, Xie Nan, and Wu Jing walked in together. Wu Jing was pushing a small wine cabinet and said, "Come, let's have a drink!"

It should be from Shen Changlin's collection, both red and white.

There must be four or five bottles.

With wine, the atmosphere is a bit lively...

Shi Shi sat next to Chang Lin and naturally helped him block the wine.

……

"Do you want to collaborate with Jackie Chan on a new work?"

"Well, the script has been set, wait for him to make a schedule."

Wu Jing was puzzled: "Why do you think of cooperating with him?"

"I started out making action movies, so it's only natural to work with Jackie Chan!"

"Do you need a supporting role?"

Shen Changlin pondered for a while, but still shook his head: "... Forget it, according to the suggestion given by Columbia, it is best to use a black actor for the supporting role, politically correct!"

"Is this also politically correct?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "Those black actors are very good at making troubles, if they are a little dissatisfied, they will immediately gather around and protest!"

"The Meg, too?"

"... "The Megalodon" actor Dwayne Johnson has black blood, and this film is co-produced by China and the United States..." Speaking of this, Shen Changlin asked: "Are you interested?"

"Of course!"

Wu Jing nodded without hesitation.

Shen Changlin thought for a while and said: "The plot of "The Megalodon" is very old-fashioned. A marine research team encounters a super big shark, goes through various thrills, and finally succeeds in killing it. Well, if the box office is good after it is released next year, I will make a sequel, and the sequel will have you two fighting the big shark together!"

Hearing this, Wu Jing was stunned: "...I just wanted to make soy sauce...I didn't want to play the leading role..."

Shen Changlin was speechless: "If you don't play the leading role, what kind of Hollywood are you doing? Do you want to play the villain?"

"...The villain can't do it?"

"Do you know Zou Zhaolong?"

"What's up with him?"

"He said something to me, I always remember it, and I hope you can remember it too!"

Shen Changlin paused and said: "He said, 'I am in the mainland, in the Chinese market, it doesn't matter if you ask me to be a villain, because everyone is Chinese. But in the United States, sorry, I can't even be a villain here. The Chinese have always established a good image of themselves in various places. Although the pay is very high, you cannot destroy the image of the Chinese nation that countless people have worked hard to create. Art does not distinguish between high and low, but you use art to trample on our nation. I can't accept it.'"

Wu Jing was silent for a long time: "So, you think Brother Li Lianlian is wrong?"

"It's not right, a person who can interpret Wu as Zhige, I should have no common language with him..."

Shi Shi leaned over: "What are we talking about?"

"I'm talking about Jackie Chan..."

Shi Shi naturally sat on his lap: "You want to cooperate with Jackie Chan in a new film, is there a role that suits me?"

Shen Changlin hugged her and kissed her: "If there is, will I not tell you?"

Wu Jing glanced at Xie Nan, who got up tacitly and sat on his lap...

……

"I just realized that doing public relations in the United States is a job, and there are many procedures to go through..."

A Mou is popularizing his North American PR experience with a group of people.

Harvey formed three groups of people to compete for "The Big Buddha", two of which were in charge of public relations for film critics in New York and Los Angeles, and the other group was in charge of public relations for judges.

A Mou followed the publicity team for a month, through waves of detailed and targeted media interviews and publicity exposures, and with the awarding of small awards, "Big Buddha" finally won five British Film Academy nominations: Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Non-English Film, Best Editing, Best Art Direction;
In addition, there are three Golden Globe nominations: Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Screenplay;
It can be said that the Oscar for best foreign language film is stable.

For comparison, when I worked with Awei before, every time I made a work, Awei shouted for the Olympics...

It's just shouting slogans!

This time, Ah Mou has really seen what Chongao is.

Guan Hu interjected and asked, "Does Oscar's PR matter a lot?"

"It's huge!"

Mou nodded: "I heard they said that the PR cost of "Gravity" was close to 2000 million US dollars!"

Guan Fu was surprised: "There are so many...why do you need public relations?"

The holy land of art in your mind is ruined?
Shen Changlin joined in: "...the United States pays attention to winning...PR represents the will to campaign and the spirit to win. The PR team I hired for Mou was Harvey Weinstein's team. Last year, in order to promote himself Jennifer Lawrence, his little girlfriend, directly hired the deputy manager of the Aoguanhai campaign team!"

"So according to you, bad movies can win Oscars?"

"First of all, it's not for nothing that a bad movie wins an Oscar. "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan";
Secondly, whether a movie is good or bad is very subjective, and it is also very easy to be influenced by other people's opinions, because there is no standard for judging.Oscar is different from those film festivals in Europe. It is voted by thousands of judges, so it is possible to influence the votes of these judges in public opinion. "

"Finally," Shen Changlin said one after another: "It must be a good work that can be nominated for an Oscar, there is no doubt about it!"

Guan Hu wanted to speak again, Shen Changlin waved his hand: "Okay, you go, you can't pee in the same pot with me, you should go to the Huayi Reception next door!"
