This director is very reliable

Chapter 421 Pointing at the face and scolding (34)

Practitioners in the literary and art industry have exceptional professional abilities and extraordinary humanistic sense.

In fact, most people make movies, apart from love, they mainly regard movies as a tool to become famous, nothing more!

In the era of entertainment to death, the criticism of entertainment to death itself can also become a kind of entertainment. This is what the second episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" "The Value of 5 million" said...

My dear, from now on, we are also waiting for others!
He saw Shen Changlin and Xu Zheng standing together, and walked over with a smile: "You two are here too!"

"Director Feng..."

"Come to help the Guidance Association stand on the platform... It's very good!"

"Um…"

After exchanging some pleasantries, the three of them parted ways. Shen Changlin and Xu Zheng sat at a table, and beside them sat Xue Xiaolu, Yang Qing, Su Lun, and Wen Muye. These four were all nominated for the Young Director of the Year...

Shen Changlin is also nominated: Director of the Year, Film of the Year, Screenwriter of the Year...

But with "Big Buddha" here, "Magic Thief" is designated as dead!

A few people sit together and start chatting...

Mainly around "Charlotte Annoyance" began to chat.

"This movie really made me laugh till I crow!"

"Twist has been doing comedy for almost ten years, and this group of people can accurately capture the audience's laughter!"

"What surprised me the most was that the actors, even if they appeared on the edge of the screen that the audience couldn't even notice, their movements would not slack, their expressions would not be distorted, and even the positioning of their eyes would be correct."

"I have experienced the drama stage!"

Listening to their chat, Shen Changlin interjected from time to time, feeling that the Directors Association is no different from his own company, except that there is nothing to eat...

Yang Qing glanced at Shen Changlin, and said suspiciously: ""A Story More Sad than Sad", I watched this movie...it feels..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Changlin smiled: "The target audience of this movie is 15-25 year old female audience, hypocritical love, love + cancer + death, keywords like this, you still go to contribute to the box office? I really admire it is you!"

"... I think the box office is high..."

""Little Times" has a box office of more than [-] million yuan, why don't you go see it..."

While chatting, the staff found Shen Changlin and told him to go to the backstage to prepare, pretending to be aggressive, no, the speech time will start soon.

……

The commendation conference of the guidance association was formerly a seminar...

It means that directors from both sides of the strait and the three regions gather together to talk freely and conduct research and exchange ideas on the art of Chinese films.

A group of directors got together, and someone suggested that we should have an awards ceremony for fun?
Then the first session was decided like this, only director of the year, young director of the year, actor of the year, actress of the year, and by the way, A Mou was given the annual box office director award - that year A Mou's "House of Flying Daggers" "is the annual box office champion...

Later, with the broadcast of the movie channel and brand sponsorship, it became bigger and bigger. By the way, the annual screenwriter award, the annual Hong Kong and Taiwan director award and the annual special commendation award were added. In the tenth session, the jury commendation was added. , Outstanding Contribution Director and two awards!
Of course this year is the fifth.

I need to make a special note, A Mou did not come, he is in the United States, there is no way, the public relations are at a critical juncture, and it will take at least two days to go back and forth, so I can't afford to delay!

The hosts are Huang Bo and Xu Zheng...

The two played tricks for a while, and then invited Shen Changlin to perform (pretend) speak (force) on stage.

Shen Changlin took the microphone and said casually: "That's right, I received a call from director Li Shaohong last week. I thought she was going to comfort me... After all, "The Thief" sold [-] million dollars worldwide. , but everyone agrees that this year’s Directors Guild’s film of the year and director of the year is either A Mou or "Big Buddha", by the way, I heard that they also want to select "Dear Child" as the film of the year!"

"...I'm not unconvinced. After all, I also participated in these two works, which are really good! But after all, I sold [-] million U.S. dollars... Then she told me, let me prepare a speech on the current situation of Chinese movies. ..."

"The status quo of Chinese films? What is there to talk about?

Let me put it this way, Wanda acquired AMC theaters, and is now considering whether to acquire Paramount or Lions Gate; Ahri acquired Cultural China to form Ahri Pictures; Fujixun also became Penguin Pictures, which is also Baidu's Li Yanhong is busy earning black-hearted money, but I heard that they are also doing some big data to predict the box office, and they also set up Nuomi Films...

They are not fools, they are not outlets, why should they enter?You see, Chinese movies, what is there to say about this stuff?The future is bright! "

"Chairman Li said, don't talk nonsense. How did Robin Li make black-hearted money? I said his promotion and bidding ranking model almost killed my game company. Isn't that enough black-hearted? Fortunately, we chose the wegame platform decisively and established our own by the way. The platform bethesda...forget about cheating my game company.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this, let's talk about business, Chairman Li is very angry, saying that I asked you to talk about movies and directors, not to show off your wealth!"

"Okay, let's talk about the director!"

"Director, in a nutshell, is to use audio-visual means to divert the audience's attention... These are the knowledge in books, so I won't talk about it, let's talk about awe!"

"Because I chatted with a self-recommended director some time ago. He brought a project, a typical literary film, and the production cost was 60 million. I asked him if he knew how high 60 million was... To give a few examples, " The cost of "Dallas Buyers Club" is 500 million U.S. dollars, the cost of Ah Mou's "Hunting" is 1400 million RMB, even the cost of "Big Buddha" is 1600 million RMB..."

"I'm talking about the production cost after deducting director and actor fees!"

"60 million... Even in the North American independent film industry, it is not a small cost... He actually asked me to talk to me so openly! First, he doesn't respect me. Second, he doesn't respect movies. Third, he doesn't respect the market!"

"I don't know about others, just me. Before I shoot a commercial film, I have to polish the script at least three times and discuss it with screenwriters of different ages before I dare to finalize it... The market is changing rapidly, and audience tastes are too unpredictable. Already!"

"Why are you so timid?"

"Because I am in awe of movies...I especially like to watch the adaptations of the old versions of the four great classics...I can feel the awe of the director team, they are worried that they have screwed up the treasure of the Chinese nation!
I think it is undeniable that a good director has talent, but what is terrible is the ego that is directly proportional to talent.

The awe and humility towards movies may be the cornerstone of a drama or movie. Only with more humility and awe can there be refinement and ingenuity! "

Speaking of this, Shen Changlin smiled awkwardly: "... I wanted to talk about the new director's crossover, but I think Director Li's eyes are about to burst into flames... I'd better go down... I'll talk about the rest next year, thank you all... "
