This director is very reliable

Chapter 931 Two New Works (13)

The contemporary Chinese cultural circle is very eager for the approval of foreigners!
In fact, Lao Jia is not one of the outstanding performers...

Those writers, good guys, really worked hard to become famous!
Boxing is not as good as them!

It's just that other people's Seven Injury Punches are for beating others. She punched her own head directly with a stone opener.

If you watch life carefully, you know one thing.There are two groups of people who practice and those who hold trumpets to publicize suffering.

The group of so-called literati show the suffering of the bottom people, not thinking about how to solve the suffering, but using a performance of "selling ugliness" to earn benefits and guide public opinion that is in line with their own interests.

It is also this group of people who are the most staunch opponents when faced with other people's real efforts to solve the root cause of suffering!
Why object?
You have lost all the material, how can I shoot it?

The point is, sometimes, they pretend to sympathize with the suffering and move themselves!

That's how many film experts like to represent audiences!
In fact, they seldom get in touch with real audiences, but when they write film reviews and create works, they must say that they are audiences. In the end, audiences don’t buy their articles or works, and they are still puzzled, and they don’t know the reasons for this result.

The reason is really simple, that is, they are not the general public, and they can't represent the audience at all. They are popular in the small circle, but in fact they can't affect the audience's choices in reality.

Wen Muye was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What kind of genre do mainstream audiences like, and what kind of genre do we shoot?"

"...No, we have to do what we are interested in so that mainstream audiences like it..."

Shen Changlin continued: "This is a question of tandem. We shoot whatever the audience likes? Then what do the audience like? This is too difficult to guess!"

"... "

"I met a director at the Shanghai Film Festival a few years ago, Christian Mengji."

"The director of "Three Weeks and Two Days in April"?"

"Yes!" Shen Changlin nodded.Then he said: "He told me a lot, the first sentence was 'I didn't expect you to have so many directors and theaters in China', and the second sentence was 'Romania is far worse than your China, 90% is Hollywood. ' And the third sentence is 'What kind of money does an art film have to make? Why do you all regard art films as a social phenomenon in China, and it will cost more than [-] million, which is terrible.'”

……

Ning Hao... actually introduced two newcomers to Shen Changlin.

His Bad Monkey 72 transformation plan was launched, and he first found two new directors: Olympic bid and Xu Lei...

Directed respectively "The Beneficiary" and "Sherlock on the Plain"...

Shen Changlin met him when he bid for the Olympic Games.

The famous advertising director...

This person is a chicken thief. When he was in his third year of bidding for the Olympic Games, he wanted to win the sponsorship of the Youth Film Studio to shoot graduation works. At that time, movies were generally shot on film, and the equipment was more expensive.

There were 19 students in that class, and there were only 4 places. If you get the money, you can make a decent short film, which will serve as a stepping stone to become a director in the future, and it would be even better if you can win an award at a film festival.

Why do you say he is a chicken thief?
Because of the theme, the Olympic bid said frankly: "I listed an option at the time, consciously compiled elements that foreigners might be interested in - class, ethnicity, church, Cui Jian's songs, and wrote a Korean man and two BJ youths. s story…"

The Olympic bidder is of Korean ethnicity, and the filming location was in his village in Yanbian, his hometown.

This method won him sponsorship and the favor of the film festival.

By the way, this short film is "Helongchuangang"... won the second prize in the student short film section of the St. Bastian Film Festival.

Wen Muye interjected: "That's amazing too!"

"I am the second prize. The first prize is a Brazilian movie about raising chickens. I didn't understand it..."

After a pause, the Olympic bid continued: "I really don't like film festivals, even if all the exchanges seem to be enjoyable, but do you understand me? Do you know what the delicate lines I wrote are talking about?"

"So, I have to make a commercial film!"

The script of "The Beneficiary" comes from a real case: in 2013, there was a case of murdering a wife and fraudulent insurance in Changzhou. Simply put, two men killed a woman, one man was in charge of getting married, buying insurance for the woman, and the other man seduced The woman asked the woman to come out, and they fell into the river together. The woman drowned because she couldn't swim, but the man survived if he knew how to swim.

"How about the script?"

"It's okay, it's going well..."

Shen Changlin took the script that Ning Hao handed over, and probably looked through it...

Before 3 minutes came, he raised his head: "The male lead should find Baoqiang!"

"Baoqiang?"

"Why? Think he's not good?"

Hesitant to apply for the Olympic Games: "...Brother Baoqiang is of course fine, but is he too expensive?"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "What does it have to do with you as a director? This is the job of an investment company..."

Ning Hao interjected: "Just listen to Director Shen, no one knows better than him about casting!"

Some meat in the Olympic bid: "Then... Director Shen, the heroine has also been resolved by the way?"

Shen Changlin pondered for a while, and then said: "Liu Yan... I can't think of anyone else in the circle except her who has gradually risen from the bottom!"

"Well, Liu Yan is really not easy..."

A few people decide the hero and heroine of a play with a few words...

Didn't even make a backup...

Thinking about it, Shen Changlin produced the film and Ning Hao produced it. Who would refuse this kind of resource?

……

"This is a script I made based on my father's personal experience..."

"Sherlock on the Plain"...

Shen Changlin knows this movie, Rural Detective Guide!

Chaoying, an old farmer in the Hebei Plain, wanted to renovate his family's house, so he asked good brothers Zhanyi and Shuhe to help him. Shuhe was out shopping and was hit by a car, and the driver who caused the accident disappeared without a trace.

Shuhe is lying in the hospital and needs money.

While trying to raise money for Shuhe, Chaoying and Zhanyi started looking for the driver who caused the accident.

The so-called 'Sherlock' refers to Chaoying and Zhanyi, two "cool detectives"...

Shen Changlin just flipped through it briefly, and nodded immediately: "Only we Chinese can understand this script, and we are the most familiar with it!"

"...Xiao Xu wants to use amateur actors from their family..."

"Of course it's good to use amateur actors..."

Shen Changlin confirmed it first, then shook his head: "But the market return may not be high..."

"Sherlock on the Plain" is not a literary film, but a suspenseful black comedy with a very traditional dramatic effect...

From the beginning to the end, there is a human touch with Chinese characteristics - two detectives find the driver of the accident, relying on connections...

Xu Lei hesitated for a moment, and then raised his concerns: "But I can't think of a suitable actor..."

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Why can't you think of it? Ge You, Fan Wei, whoever you want, I can find it for you!"

"...Ge...Uncle Ge?"

"Inappropriate?"

"Of course it's suitable...that is...can he read this script?"

Shen Changlin smiled: "Then I'll call him over for a meal and read your script by the way..."

　The waves have only come back now...
