This director is very reliable

Chapter 941 Recommended
Shen Changlin still doesn't want to show off!
If you want to show off, you can talk about scams, yin and yang contracts, money laundering, etc...

This year's focus is on the fifth generation of directors, so we can't steal their limelight, right?
The fifth generation of directors, a memory that cannot be erased by Chinese movies!
"One and Eight" opened the prelude to the fifth generation of directors, and then the little poet recited "Yellow Earth" and "The Hunting Ground Zhasa" by Tian Zhuangzhuang...

Then A Mou made his debut, and "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award!

In the 90s of the last century, the fifth-generation director won the highest awards of the three major European international film festivals, won the Golden Lion Award, Golden Bear Award, and Golden Palm Award, and was nominated for Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film four times...

In a sense, it is the most brilliant generation of directors among all Chinese directors so far.

Of course, there has always been a debate in the academic circles about "whether the fifth generation is making films to please the film festival in favor of the West". Create on the premise of being present!
From the perspective of the post-colonial context, what the Western judges like are: taboo sex, ignorant and backward system, and ugly Chinese who live like maggots in the closed world!

If you look at these award-winning works, there are more or less these elements.

In the sixth generation, they simply flatter foreigners...

I don't care if the movie is good or bad...

Jia Zhangke has publicly said that films should consider an international perspective. What kind of perspective is his so-called international perspective?

It speaks for itself!

In fact, it is quite normal to long for international recognition, in a sense it is longing for Western recognition...

Due to the limitations of the times, the directors of that era wore heavy historical shackles. In their concept, movies must be critical, profound, and scars must be uncovered!

……

The commendation meeting ended, and a group of people gathered for dinner...

Shen Changlin was about to leave, but Ah Mou insisted on letting him stay too!
You said, you old men remember the past, have something to do with him?

There is no room for him to intervene in this thing!
Well, there are still...

Tian Zhuangzhuang always wanted to make "The King of Trees", but he couldn't find the funds...

This thing is normal!

According to normal market logic, it is indeed difficult to establish a project for this type of subject matter.

One is that the box office potential is low, the second is that the chances of winning prizes are not high, and the third is that the risk of review is extremely high...

The original "Tree King" is full of fables, and the story is very simple: when they went to the countryside in the 60s, they wanted to cut down a big tree on the top of the mountain and plant a new one, but a local man named Xiao Geda tried his best to stop it. .

This story can be summed up in one sentence - I have never really seen fire, nor have I seen destruction, let alone new life!

How do you shoot?
Tian Zhuangzhuang wanted to shoot this, which is essentially a private video to satisfy himself...

The key is that the cost of this thing will not be too low, no matter how you calculate it, it will not be less than 50 million!
Combined with Grange's historical achievements... well, he has never made a blockbuster movie.

The only one with a box office of over 09 million is "Wolf Disaster", which was released in [-].

In other words, investing in "Tree King" is basically impossible to make a profit, and the probability of even getting back the capital is extremely low!

Director Tian is an honest person, so he naturally told the investors about the risks...

Then no one will invest!

A Mou suggested in a low voice: "If you have anything you want to shoot, just tell this kid, he has money!"

"...I can't cheat people... You said that a movie like "The King of Trees" can be a blockbuster?"

Well, I don't know if it will be a hit or not, but...even if the name is changed, it is true that it still hasn't been released.

It was later renamed "Birds Singing Chirping" - taken from "The Book of Songs - Xiaoya: Logging": Tintin is felled, birds chirping...

Ah Mou thought for a while: "It's simple, you can ask him for a script, fill in the leaks and it's over!"

"He has something in his hand?"

"...There should be," A Mou simply called Shen Changlin who was bored: "Come here!"

Shen Changlin hurried over: "...Director, Master..."

"Your master is going to shoot "The Tree King"...do you know about this?"

"I know..." Shen Changlin suddenly said: "Master, if there is a lack of investors, I will take care of them!"

"...You have also watched "The King of Chess", what do you think of this scene?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Just follow the original book, there is no way to change it. If the background of the era is canceled, there is no need for this movie to exist."

it's true...

The background of the story itself is a special product...

According to business logic, a movie that does not make money should not be shot!
But... what business logic are you talking about with Shen Changlin?

He lacks this little money?
"...That can't make you pay for nothing... In this way, you can get a good script..."

"I really have a movie that suits Shigong!"

"what movie?"

""Year Month Day", the work of teacher Yan Lianke!"

……

Yan Lianke, writer...

This one has 'big love'!
Let’s take a look at Yan Lianke’s acceptance speech for the Newman Award for Chinese Literature: “…that mother will always remember that in 1945, when the Japanese army was retreating from China, a Japanese soldier wearing tattered clothes and scarf on his body took a cane from his pocket. She took out a small candy and gave it to her. The mother said that this was the first time she ate candy in her life. She knew that there was something called candy in the world, and it was so sweet. So she remembered the meaning of candy all her life. The smell and the face of the bleeding Japanese soldier, I have been longing all my life to give that Japanese soldier something back.

In 2014, I brought the wish of this mother in the village to Riben. Since then, more Riben readers and elderly people have been eager to visit this village and meet people in this village.Love can dissolve everything. "

His "big love" transcends narrow conceptions, is really enraged, extraordinary and refined, it is the ultimate of courtesy, righteousness and honesty in our generation, and there is no one who is the largest in the country!

(This paragraph is ironic)
Many people say that Yan Lianke dissects himself, but he is not, he just dissolves the sublime.

Just like Zhu Sujin's New Three Kingdoms, some office politics must be brought in to make Zhuge Liang look like a pissed off daughter-in-law.

This group of people can't understand heroes and outstanding people, and can only use the wretched images around them to dwarf them.

But... To evaluate a writer, you should still look at the works...

In fact, he has quite a lot of works, some of which are not bad, such as "Daylight", "Dingzhuang Dream", "Shouhuo" including "Ode to Fengya"...

Especially "Ode to Feng Ya", a certain head pointed at the lewdness of university professors, the life of a dog, and the unspoken rules in the education system...

But the ending is a bit too hasty, the protagonist takes a group of prostitutes to class, and establishes a Datong world, which is too blunt...

In fact, contemporary literary works are almost deserted!

Yan Lianke is not a great master... at most he is a best-selling author - his books sell very well in Japan!
If there is only cruelty in literary works but no compassion, only deconstruction but no construction, only suffering but no redemption.That kind of literary work will not surpass the times.

Writers who write such things are probably only second-rate!
A Mou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, including the young poetry reciter and Gu Changwei who came over, all frowned when they heard Yan Lianke's name...

"His work...isn't easy to change!"

Gu Changwei interrupted: "I changed "Ding Zhuang Meng", it was too difficult!"

"Dingzhuang Dream" is actually "Favorite"...

Tian Zhuangzhuang waved his hand to stop the group of people, and then asked Shen Changlin: "What is "Year, Month, and Day" about?"

Shen Changlin roughly talked about "Year, Month, and Day"...

In fact, it is the Chinese version of "The Old Man and the Sea"...

The story is very simple: an old man and a dog guard a grain seedling until the end of their lives in a drought that never happens in a thousand years...

A novel about suffering, companionship, loneliness, local love and hope.

"I think this work is very suitable to be made into a movie!"
