This director is very reliable

Chapter 719 Seeking Progress (13)

Anyone who is familiar with the sixth generation of films, or the audience of domestic literary films, most of them know Fang Li and his Laurel Pictures.

As an investor and producer, he worked on Li Yu's "Apple" and "Guanyin Mountain", Lou Ye's "Summer Palace", Wang Chao's "Anyang Baby"...

Originally specialized in the development and sales of geophysical instruments, I don't understand the film industry at all, but this does not hinder the pure love for images.

Belongs to filmmakers with feelings!

The word "feelings" is a term for idealists.

Only in the changing and legendary era can there be such a group of people with feelings.

On the contrary, in a society where the material is stable and the spirit is impetuous, it is bullshit to talk about feelings and so on.

In fact, judging whether a person is a good investor or a good filmmaker basically depends on the result...

You have to have good works before people will worship you...

"Sunshine Robbers" has an investment cost of 4300 million yuan and a box office of [-] million...

It was also produced by Fang Li, and it is said that even the house was mortgaged...

Everyone will just call him an idiot!
"Director," Liu Yijun looked at Shen Changlin, and asked him, "Why are literary films so difficult, and they don't even give any scheduling?"

"The main thing is that it's not brilliant enough..." Shen Changlin sighed: "Director Wu Tianming has a great reputation, but the director's level is just that!"

"Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" was read by Shen Changlin admiringly in the original time and space. At the beginning, it has a little Hou Xiaoxian's meaning, a big perspective, people don't move, silence, only ambient sound, the composition is a bit particular, but later it shows timidity.

This prose-style narrative method actually pays more attention to the arrangement of each scene and plot.

Director Wu changed the original novel and focused the scene on Sanye Jiao.

It was originally intended to gather this breath, but in the actual operation, it failed to balance the scenes of Tianming, Jiao Sanye, and junior brother Lanyu. The camera was also rough, so the breath was scattered, and the theme of the Northwest countryside was not rough enough. , acting and speaking are both bookish, Mandarin is too dramatic...

The director used the past to describe the present, but exposed too much consciousness.The expression of ingenuity is lacking, and the sense of superiority is revealed too much on that golden suona...

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "Perhaps with this kneeling, "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" has a chance to be increased by the theaters, accepted and loved by the public, and has a chance to complete the counterattack and enter the top box office list, but, So what? In the future records, careful people will notice that everything started with a kneeling. Should you say that the world has learned to respect art, or that the world has learned to sympathize with art?"

"Let me tell you something. In 09, Xu Anhua lacked funds to make a movie. She found her friend Wang Jing and complained. Wang Jing patted his chest and said that I would vote for you. Xu Anhua was surprised and said that you are only a director. Where did all the money come from? Wang said that I made a film myself to make money—then, Wang Jing made a fuss about "The Secret Detective Zero Dog", he gave the income to Xu Anhua, and helped her film "Day and Night in Tianshuiwei" and "Night and Night in Tianshuiwei" fog".

In any film history, the status and value of Tianshuiwei's two parts will be ten times or even a hundred times that of "The Great Inner Secret Detective Zero Dog", but the reality is that without the latter, the former has no chance to exist at all-this is the truth , the paradoxical truth, the reasonable truth. "

"So... art films can't survive?"

Shen Changlin scratched his head: "Actually, I don't really understand... I don't know how art films are made. In fact, it's the same all over the world. Hollywood literary films are also squeezed by Marvel films...Many promising filmmakers can only Making a Netflix movie…”

"That's not bad..."

"Netflix production means that the work cannot be registered in theaters, but can only be released on streaming media networks..."

"Then...won't you become an online university?"

"What's wrong with NetU? It would be great if it can be released!"

……

"Captain America 3" is actually "Captain America [-]" with the same schedule as "A Hundred Birds in the Phoenix"...

As a result, there was another wave of discussions on literary and commercial films.

topic ten years ago.

In fact, the domestic art theater chain has already taken the lead in establishing it, but the problem is that no one watches it, and no one shoots it...

Most of the films screened by art theaters are actually watched by the audience for the second time.

The source of films is limited, and it is difficult to approve and screen many films. Theaters only have a few films all year round, or add a few debuts by independent filmmakers who are boring to death.

This means that the box office is not a profit model for such theaters, and the membership system is not easy to realize, because it is difficult to return regular audiences.

In our country, things like movies have finally come down from the niche and elegant art. Is it necessary to go back to the past?
What was it like before?

The mainstream and the underground are clearly distinct.

now what?Whoever is popular is the mainstream!

There is no need for an official stamp - the better the sale, the more mainstream.

and then?
"Captain America 3" became a target.

A bunch of people are besieging "American Team 3", as if everyone spends money to watch "American Team 3" is worshiping foreigners!
It's not xenophobia...

"Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" is not good!
Stories such as "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" often appear in the early works of writers of that kind, lamenting the disappearance of a civilization and way of life on the grounds of the disappearance of an art or craft.

Therefore, the countryside in the movie has been "villageized" again, with exquisite screen walls, swings, flowers and fireflies in the quiet courtyard...

This is 2016, not 1986!
Some people lamented that "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" was crushed by blockbusters such as "Captain America 3", the box office shouldn't be so bleak...

To be honest: even if there is no competition from competitors, no one will watch it.

To renew the life of art that has lost its audience, what remains is not "traditional art", but just a zombie.

……

At the beginning of June, Shen Changlin was painting cakes for Nini on the crew of "Ghosts".

Oh, her role was finished, and Shen Changlin sent her away on behalf of the crew.

This girl eats chicken soup...

She seems to lack a little self-confidence, and always feels that she is not a professional actor.

In other words, I was born as a girl, and after five or six years, I am still standing still, a little anxious...

want to improve.

It is quite good for young actors to be aware of their own shortcomings, to be able to frankly say that they are not good enough, and want to improve.

Shen Changlin filmed her in a movie, so he still has a say in her acting skills.

"Don't get too entangled in the title of seeking a girl. The times are different. Gong Li is a top Chinese actress launched by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai. She is the heroine in "To Live" and "Farewell My Concubine" ;”

"Zhang Ziyi is similar. "My Father and Mother" was followed by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The early works were basically cooperated with big directors!"

Nini nodded: "Then what should I do?"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "How would I know? I'm only talking about your shortcomings, let's say yes first, don't get angry!"

"Well, you said."

"I found that you are a bit too rational in handling the role, and you always give people a feeling of indifference... Also, you have to communicate with people, especially the actor in the opposite role. Qin Hao is a very funny person. You don't chat with him? Communicate more. ..."

Nini said embarrassingly: "He is married, I have to stay away from him..."

"Then I have a girlfriend too!"

Yes, why is Shen Changlin an exception?
Nini nodded: "I understand the director, I will definitely change it in the future and work harder."

"...If you want to improve your acting skills, I suggest you try acting in a few plays."

"... Drama?"

Shen Changlin shrugged: "Don't you want to improve your acting skills? Acting in a drama is the best way to train an actor..."

Nini hummed: "Looking back, I'll ask my agent to help me see if there are any suitable dramas..."

"The company has cooperated with many drama clubs..."
