The best director ever

Chapter 465 The Darkness of Reason
In the first week of July, the Great Wall Film and Television Base is still in full swing to welcome tourists from all over the country.

From the first day, the number of tourists rose sharply almost every day. It was not until the fifth day that the growth rate of the number of tourists slowed down.

Many viewers with a wait-and-see attitude couldn't help but feel excited after seeing other netizens' praise of the film and television base.

Especially after Han Qiu declared in a high-profile way that this would be the holy land of Chinese films, the enthusiasm of the audience was even higher.

If these words were told by other directors and other film and television companies, Chinese audiences would not believe them to death, but if they were told by Hua Xian and Han Qiu, their convincing power would break through the sky.

What kind of company is Huaxian?
That's the film company that almost monopolizes Huaxia's ticket warehouse!

Any director who comes out of it is worth billions, let alone Han Qiu. With so many movies added up, the box office has already broken through the tens of billions mark.

It is not too much to say about the Great Wall, or to say that Huaxian is the Holy Land of Chinese movies.

Because in Huaxian, no matter what kind of audience you want to see, you can find the type of movie you want to watch, including romance, action, science fiction, comedy, horror, and more.And none of them are bad movies, even if they are popcorn movies, they are top-notch popcorn, the kind that becomes addictive after eating.

Of course, the amalgamation of romance and action: *****, uh, that's out of the question.

Regarding this, Han Qiu is really convinced of the island country, especially thanks to those "teachers" who have dedicated themselves to art.Thank you for teaching the people the essence of love action.

On this day, Lin Hua is also preparing to go to the United States to shoot a movie, er, no, it's a romance movie.

Now that the matter of the film and television base has come to an end, they, the Huaxian bosses, have also withdrawn from the lively whirlpool center.

Ye Chen and Zhou Xingchi had already rushed to Xiangjiang to prepare for the launch of "Kung Fu", while Lin Hua was a bit late and hadn't left the country yet.

At this moment, early in the morning, at Modu International Airport, Han Qiu personally drove his good brother to go abroad.

"Oh, it's been half a year since you left here."

Outside the airport, Han Qiu handed the luggage to Lin Hua with a slightly sad expression.

"Don't laugh at the hundred steps." Lin Hua waved his hand, "When you were filming abroad, you couldn't see you all year round. How dare you talk about me?"

"Eh, I seldom go abroad now."

"That's right, I won the Oscar for best director, why go abroad?" Lin Hua squinted at Han Qiu, "Wait, after I get the Oscar, I can comfortably shoot movies in China Just like you, you are still famous all over the world without going out of the country.”

Han Qiu was speechless: "."

"Okay, I'm leaving, just send it here."

"Well, if you encounter any trouble, you can go to Ziren first. That kid is more familiar with Hollywood than I am. Just tell him what you need." Han Qiu reminded.

"OK, no problem, I'll go find the horror master." Waving his hands, Lin Hua dragged his suitcase into the airport.

Han Qiu turned back to the car and called Wen Ziren.

"Hello, Director Han?"

"Ziren, Lin Hua is on the plane now, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Los Angeles tonight. You can arrange someone to pick him up then."

Wen Ziren said in surprise: "Brother Hua is here? All right, I will pick him up in person tonight."

"Hehe, you can figure it out yourself, just don't let him get lost."

"it is good."

"By the way." Han Qiu asked, "How is the situation of the Seven Sins?"

"It's not bad. The box office has already exceeded 2 million US dollars in the first week." Wen Ziren said with a touch of pride, because this movie is the best one he has made since he made the movie.

By the time it is released, the global box office should exceed $[-] million.

This is already a sky-breaking achievement for a horror and bloody movie.

Han Qiu nodded after hearing this, "The box office is good, but what about word of mouth?"

"Overall, word of mouth is very good, but because it is too dark, some media seized on this point to criticize this movie." Wen Ziren sighed, "Oh, when I made this movie, I almost thought it would be There is such a situation. Darkness? I just put the place where the sun can't shine on the screen, and I can only say that this is reality."

Hearing this, Han Qiu was also silent for a while, before slowly opening his mouth: "Don't pay too much attention to what the media say, they are here to guide public opinion, as long as the audience thinks the movie is good."

"Yeah." Wen Ziren has also been around for so many years, so he naturally knows that the media's mouth is sometimes so cheap.

Similarly, Han Qiu knew it himself.So Han Qiu seldom interacted with the media except when it was absolutely necessary.Whether the media praised him or ridiculed him, Han Qiu generally turned a deaf ear to it.

Just like after the release of Transformers, the media who were too idle put a hat of "lost godhead" on Han Qiu's head. Although Han Qiu never admitted that he had any godhead, he was said so. , My heart is always uncomfortable.

This time, though, the Seven Deadly Sins are indeed shady, but that doesn't excuse the media from belittling the movie.

Are dark movies bad movies?
Damn, isn't it true that most of those classic movies are bad movies?
After hanging up the phone, Han Qiu returned to the villa and read the copy of the Seven Deadly Sins sent by Wen Ziren.

After reading it, Han Qiu felt a little shocked, but also a little depressed.This repression is different from The Dark Knight.Although Batman took the blame, was cast aside by people, and became a dark knight who can't see the light, at least Gotham City has ushered in the light.

Looking back at the seven deadly sins, it means that a little light cannot be seen.

The movie tells the story of a murderer punishing those who commit crimes based on the seven major crimes and two police officers, one old and one young, to solve the case.It's just that in the end, the murderer laid out the overall situation, but still completed his plan and killed the "sinner".

This made the two police officers feel desperate for the society.

The film seems to be just showing the world that human nature is corrupt and the guilty will be punished.This kind of film has a kind of cautionary meaning of moral exhortation, and people may reflect on whether they are guilty after watching it.However, what caused these people to commit crimes and made the murderer unbearable, and punished them in the name of God by killing them.

The film does not seem to give a clear explanation.

Is it because of a lack of faith?
Indeed, in the West, the Enlightenment discovered rationality. Since then, rationality has been gradually pushed to the supremacy, and people's self-awareness has continued to expand, fully affirming human reason, and beginning to despise God.

In modern times, rationality centered on science and technology has destroyed the spirit of religious belief, and human beings who believe that science and technology are omnipotent feel that reason can achieve everything.Therefore, rationality represented by science has indeed promoted the rapid progress of society and facilitated its completion of the modernization process.

However, rationality has increasingly become the shackles that people restrain themselves.

The development of society is increasingly dependent on "rational" things such as efficiency, calculation, and punctuality. Such rationalization is actually a kind of "materialization". Money and commercial value have become the only yardstick for measuring all values. The relationship between them has become increasingly indifferent due to the interests of money.

Just like in the movie, the police officer played by Morgan Freeman meets a woman who has been raped and tells her not to call for help when she encounters such a situation again, and only when she calls for firefighting will someone come to pay attention.

Is this a kind of irony?
Just like in Huaxia now, when the old man fell down, not many people dared to help him up.

Human nature is really indifferent sometimes.

This desperate film, it shows people the evil and indifference of the world, but it doesn't tell people how to avoid the deterioration of this situation.What is shown in the film is the darkest side of the world, completely covering up the beautiful, bright and warm side.Perhaps the love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist played by Heath can be counted as a ray of light in this dark background, and finally disappeared due to the killing of the female protagonist.

Where is the way out for people?
At the end of the film, the old police officer William quoted a sentence from Hemingway: This world is not a good world, how can it be worth fighting for?
After watching the movie, Han Qiu turned off the computer and took Xiao Ba to the beach for a walk alone.Originally, he wanted to take Erxian with him, but Erxian was too old to walk too far.

Han Qiu didn't know when Erxian would leave him, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe not long after.

"Xiaoba, after Erxian leaves, only you will accompany us." Han Qiu sat on the beach, rubbing the head of Xiaoba who was squatting beside him.

"Wow~~~"

"Hehe, Xiao Ba, it's a good thing that the world you see is only our yard and this beach. It's a good thing that you don't know how to surf the Internet. It's a good thing that you don't understand the world." Han Qiu narrowed his eyes and murmured.

Maybe the seven deadly sins show a dark world of heinous crimes, maybe some things are really ugly.

Perhaps, sometimes we shouldn't be too rational, and shouldn't be so rational that we become indifferent.

"Sometimes, it's better to be emotional. How can I put it? We humans also have emotions. We are emotional creatures. If we are too rational, don't we become robots?" Han Qiu touched Xiaoba and sighed: "Even robots have three senses." The Great Law, knowing how to help humans, we humans can’t be inferior to robots.”
