This director is very reliable

Chapter 98 Be kind and keep a low profile

Director Lu Chuan, it's hard to say how good he is...

But he has the qualities of a great director: he loves to pretend, and he also loves to tear up!
To be precise, I like being on the headlines to show off.

And most of the time, he is either for the popularity of his movies, or simply likes to act aggressive in front of people to show his presence!
It is common sense to infer that Shen Changlin and "Big Shot" are so popular, he should not dare to touch porcelain, right?

Think more!
Shen Changlin is a fool, our director Lu Chuan came out to beep a few words to guide the government on how to handle the epidemic.

People send the nickname Lu Gongzhi!

But why is he willing to jump out?

It's very simple. Before Shen Changlin Hengkong was born, the most famous young director in the circle, besides Ning Hao, was Lu Chuan, the fifth member of the mainland directors' club worth [-] million yuan!
Now, it is full of compliments to Shen Changlin, he is naturally displeased in every possible way.

But he also knew that Shen Changlin would definitely not be able to compete at the box office, so he would say a few sour words and enjoy his mouth...

As for the phrase "guess", it has no other meaning at all, just to show that I know the inside story.

If it was in the past, explaining this may require a press conference to bribe the media or something. Now, Shen Changlin directly posted on Weibo: "Does this group of people have brains? Are you all insiders? If I am so powerful, why? Making movies? I go into real estate and the Internet, can I earn more than movies? Moreover, China Film does not represent anything. Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" has not yet received a screening permit, and the film is controlled by China Film. Investment, production! China Film only invested less than 10% in "Big Shot."

By the way, I wrote a Weibo about the postponement of "Transformers 3":

"The release date of "Transformers 3" is also released on July 7th. It's only postponed for a month. What can I complain about? Are you not allowed to watch it?
Which country or region in the world does not guarantee local movies?

In the Internet age, can you search with your fingers a little bit, and then come out and swear?
But if you have a little understanding of the history of film development in European and American countries, you will find that they themselves have various protection measures!
Because, compared with other products, the market attribute of movie winners takes all is the most obvious. Often a movie dominates the entire schedule. Taking the current industry structure of domestic movies as an example, once the restrictions are lifted, domestic movies will have a huge impact. Nothing left!
As for director Lu Chuan, I don’t know this person, and I haven’t dealt with him before, but since he commented on me, I still reply: I hope he won’t mention me in the future, and I won’t mention him either!The rivers and lakes are far away, I hope we will never meet again! "

There is nothing else, the key is the last sentence 'the rivers and lakes are far away, I hope we will never meet again'!
The seemingly plain sentence is actually warning him 'don't take my heat'...

This is very embarrassing, everyone knows that Lu Chuan came out to pretend to be aggressive, just wanted to point out Shen Changlin from the perspective of a senior, by the way, to make a page, and then Shen Changlin just said "I have nothing to do with you"...

Too embarrassing!

Shen Changlin did what he said, and after the "Big Shot" interview, he was forbidden to ask any news about Lu Chuan.

……

Nortel, in the auditorium, Shen Changlin sat in seat C, sharing and communicating with teachers and students about movies.

It's an honor to return home!
There is a new award from Shen Changlin on the honor wall: Congratulations to Shen Changlin, a graduate of our school, for winning the Best Newcomer Director Award at the 47th Golden Horse Awards for "Embroidered Spring Knife"...

Therefore, you still have to win an award, otherwise, it's not easy to be on the list!
For communication, there is nothing to talk about, just talk about creative insights, lens analysis and so on...

Since Shen Changlin dared to come, it means that he has done his homework in advance!
When it comes time for students to ask questions:

"Hi brother, I want to ask, do you think the movie box office is more important?"

"It depends on what type of movie you are watching. If it is a commercial movie, you must pursue a high box office...Let me tell you this, in a rational movie-watching environment, word of mouth should be the strongest booster for the box office. There is a routine action of "Word of Mouth"! "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was announced and released using word of mouth, which is very effective..."

"What if it's a literary film? For example, "The Piano of the Piano"?"

"..."The Piano of the Piano" is already the movie with the best reputation this year!"

"Then why didn't the box office do well?"

"It should be a matter of publicity. Almost no audience knows about the release of this movie! 1"

barely an answer...

Then, a boy wearing glasses stood up: "Brother, there is a voice on the Internet now, saying that many films won by international awards made by the sixth generation directors are not out of social responsibility, but for the win-winners? what do you think?"

Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "...I can tell you that they definitely didn't have the mentality of fawning on foreigners at first, but it's hard to say about the later movies!"

"If you think about it this way, why the sixth-generation directors are so keen on European film festivals is actually driven by the market.

When the sixth generation showed their highlights at international film festivals, it coincided with the downturn in the Chinese film market.

Where was their market at that time?

Domestic audiences are mainly educated audiences in some big cities, as well as overseas art theaters.

So when they make a film, the best publicity is to participate in European film festivals, because when the film festival is held, film journalists from all over the world go back to report, and there are a lot of film distributors looking for the film, even if you get an award There is also the opportunity to be reported by film media all over the world, and there is also the opportunity to be favored by foreign film companies to sell film copyrights.

If you win an award, it is a free worldwide publicity, which is of great help to the subsequent release of the film. "

"Then the judging criteria of European film festivals are the questions that these directors themselves refer to. Looking at the films of those years, they basically have a certain creative logic. For example, Cannes wants to express the pain of the bottom of society. It’s irrelevant, it’s the creative logic being guided by foreign countries.”

"A director who expresses himself by chance or just happens to win an award, I think we should be tolerant of creative freedom, and analyze it from the perspective of motivation, isn't it better to kill three thousand people by mistake than let one person go?

Good things can stand the test of time, and those who are obsessed with outsiders will show their feet in the end, won't they?For example, Hu Shizhi! "

"Then what do you think the real Meiwai type is?"

Shen Changlin really wanted to reply: Speaking of this, I think we can discuss "Nanjing!Nanjing! ", but thinking of what I said on Weibo, I changed it: "I think we can discuss "Chinese Box", which is the work of Wang Ying, the director of "Snow Flower and Secret Fan"..."

"Ahem, he's an American!"

"Oh, that's not flattery, that's called political correctness!"

The audience roared with laughter—"China Box" is quite famous in Nortel, and it can be regarded as a negative teaching material. The political metaphors in it are too low, and even fools can understand...

After the activity ended, Shen Changlin was about to leave, but his teacher Xie Xiaojing stopped him: "Can the conflict between you and Lu Chuan be reconciled?"

"Teacher, you know me. I have always been kind and low-key. I can't let others bully me. I still have to greet you with a good face? There is no reason for that!"

"That's all I said..." Teacher Xie smiled: "Professor Jiang mainly asked me to adjust..."

"How did Professor Jiang know?"

Professor Jiang, Jiang Shixiong, Lu Chuan's teacher...

"I guess someone said it..."
