This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 669: Living is not a literary film

"On the surface, the movie "Alive" tells the story of Fugui, but in fact it shows the impact and influence of the tide of the times on small people through Fugui's perspective. From the movie, we can clearly see that every As the times change, those who are most affected are small people like Fu Gui. Every time misfortune occurs, the most unlucky people are small people like Fu Gui. But no matter what kind of impact they receive, small people like Fu Gui are always resilient. This is also the deepest foundation of our nation."

"Living means suffering, fatigue, torture, haggard, desperate struggle, despair and pain, but we still have to live."

"Living itself is a difficult thing. It can be seen from the fact that many people would rather commit suicide than live. Sometimes living requires more courage than dying. This movie bloodyly tears apart the cruel reality for us to see. , let us understand the cruelty of the times and fate. Sometimes a grain of dust from the times is like a mountain when it falls on an individual, but we can do nothing. The only thing we can do is to live strong."

"This is not the story of one person, but the epic of an entire nation."

"The movie I watched yesterday made me burst into tears. It felt like the whole world was dark. I didn't even dare to recall the plot of the movie. What's even more frightening is that people like Fugui, in history and in life, , are everywhere, but there is no power to save them.”

"Each of us is just a doll of fate, rising and falling with the times. Long Er set up a gambling game to win Fugui, thinking that he could become a master. However, as fate reversed, he was quickly shot, and Fugui also There is no blessing in disguise, but a series of bad luck, just like us, we encounter a good era, but we may not be able to live a good life."

"Suddenly I thought of my deceased grandma. At that time, she always told me that you have caught up with the good times, you have caught up with the good times, but I always felt that I was not living a good life until I watched the movie. Only then did I finally understand what grandma meant by these words. Compared with the dark past, I have indeed caught up with good times now. Unfortunately, grandma, such good times did not last long."

The movie "Alive" was well received across the internet.

Moreover, the reviews of this movie are different from other movies. No matter how exciting and beautiful other movies are, there will always be a small number of people who feel that this movie is not to their liking and that it is not good.

But for the movie "Alive", it was really well received by all the audiences. Almost no one said that this movie was bad. This is an extremely rare phenomenon in the history of movies.

Being able to do this only shows one thing, that is, this movie conquered everyone.

Not only ordinary audiences, but even professionals were conquered by the movie.

"Alive" shot by Xu Nan is very different from the original version, and it is more consistent with the original work.

In the original version of "Alive", Fugui still has two relatives alive. Amidst the cruelty, there is still a trace of warmth.

Xu Nan's version of "Alive" greatly restores the original work, showing the cruelty and cold blood of fate in front of the audience, giving people a more intuitive soul shock.

Coupled with the advancement of the film industry caused by the advancement of the times, this version of "Alive" is of higher quality and more classic than the original version.

As the influence of movies gradually expands, the box office of movies also increases rapidly.

June [-]nd.

On the eighth day after the movie "Alive" was released, the single-day box office rose again to 400 million.

On the ninth day after the movie "Alive" was released, the single-day box office exceeded 500 million for the first time, reaching [-] million.

One hundred and ten million.

One hundred and ten million.

One hundred and ten million.

The movie box office of "Alive" is rising every day, in a jaw-dropping way.

Normally, most of the box office of a movie is concentrated in the first week of release, but the movie "Alive" completely goes against common sense. The first week was mediocre, but in the second week, the movie box office suddenly took off and became a shock. Eyeballs.

There are more and more news about this movie on the Internet.

The media also noticed this sudden rise of artistic films and began to report on it.

"Alive Movie Box Office Drops"

"The movie is a box office hit and is expected to hit the box office record of domestic movies." 》

"Alive", the highest-rated domestic film. 》

"The highest-grossing art film in history. 》

"Exclusive Interview with Qin Hao: Fugui is the best role I have ever played. 》

"Industry Experts: The art of living is extremely high. 》

"Tissues are out of stock around movie theaters, and the reason is actually because of a movie. 》

"The most touching movie in history." 》

"Exclusive interview with Golden Dragon Award judges: The film Alive has signed up for the Golden Dragon Award. Whether or not it wins the award depends on the results of the judges' votes. 》

On June 18th, four days after the film was released, "Alive" was nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director and Best Picture.

The news spread and the Internet was abuzz.

"Holy shit, I was actually nominated."

"It's normal. This movie is so wonderful. It's normal to win an award. It's abnormal not to win."

"It's just a nomination. I haven't won an award yet."

"Yes, the nomination is just the beginning. We have to wait for the judges to vote before we can determine whether the film can win the award."

"When can I see the results?"

"There is still a wait. There will be some time after the nomination."

"It doesn't matter. Such an excellent movie is destined to win awards, so just wait and see."

There were also sighs and sighs in the circle.

"It was actually nominated."

"It's normal. This movie is really a classic."

"I feel like no movie can compare to this one."

"This movie is only one or two in the history of cinema."

""Alive" should be destined to win awards."

"That's hard to say. You don't have to be a good movie to win an award."

"How is it possible? The movie "Alive" is such a classic, and if you choose another movie, can everyone be convinced?"

"Haha, you are still too young."

Because of this news, the single-day box office of "Alive" exceeded 21 million for the first time, and the total box office reached [-] billion.

The scary thing is that at this time, the box office potential of the movie has not been completely squeezed out. Every day, a large number of viewers come to watch the movie, then leave in tears, and then wildly recommend it to people around them.

Xu Nan has decided to apply for a movie extension key to fully unleash the movie's box office potential over a longer period of time.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Pengfei's "Legend of the Demon Cat" was also nominated for the Golden Dragon Award. After all, he is a veteran director with deep connections, so he still has this card.

But it is a pity that all netizens are paying attention to the movie "Alive" and discussing whether this movie will win awards. No one pays attention to other movies at all.

After discovering this fact, Chen Pengfei's heart was completely cold.

How could he still argue?
As an insider, he knows very well how classic this movie is.This movie is a typical one. If no award is given, people will question the fairness of the award.

"Legend of the Demonic Cat" is completely hopeless.

Chen Hong was very unwilling.

"Husband, can you please cheer up?"

"Even if you don't do it for yourself, you do it for your children."

"And there are many Golden Dragon Awards. Even if they are not well-known awards, it would be good to win a few more."

Chen Pengfei suddenly woke up.

In order to praise his son Chen Feihong, he specially reserved a role for Chen Feihong in the movie "Legend of the Demon Cat".

This role doesn't have many roles, but it's very outstanding. It was specially paved for Chen Feihong.

It’s definitely impossible to win the Best Leading Actor award, but there is still a chance for Best Supporting Actor.

And, who says he can't win Best Director and Best Picture?
Awards are not something you can win just because your movie is good.

Whether a film can win an award or not, sometimes the quality of the film is not the most critical factor, but depends on many off-site factors.

Otherwise, how could so many famous Water Queens and Water Emperors come out?

Considering only the factor of paving the way for his son, he could not give up.

Moreover, he also invested in this "Legend of the Demon Cat". It can't make any money from the box office alone. If you want to make money, you must win heavyweight awards.

Fight.

Time flies.

Netizens’ attention is limited, and a movie, no matter how exciting it is, cannot occupy everyone’s attention forever.

Slowly, the influence and discussion of "Alive" began to weaken.

Although many people are still discussing the plot and details of this movie, the public has gradually stopped paying attention.

this day.

The famous director Zhang Yange suddenly posted a Weibo post.

"Many people in the industry say that "To Live" is the highest-grossing literary film in China, but I want to say that "To Live" is not a literary film."

Is "Alive" not a literary film?

This novel idea has attracted a lot of attention.

In layman's terms, art film is the abbreviation of literary and art film.

Literary films pay more attention to the artistry of the film rather than the commercial nature of the film, focusing on describing life, human nature, and society to arouse emotional resonance among the audience.

The audience actually doesn’t know much about this. Although they know about literary and commercial films, they don’t really understand the specific differences between commercial and literary films.

The only impression I have is that commercial films are more exciting, while literary and artistic films are more dull. Of course, not all commercial and literary films are like this, but most of them are.

No matter how you look at it, "Alive" is a very orthodox literary film. However, Zhang Yange said that it was not a literary film, which the audience found strange.

"Lao Zhang, "Alive" is not an artistic film, are you sure?"

"This is clearly a literary film. I cried after watching the movie."

"Did you make a mistake?"

"If "Alive" is not a literary film, then what is a literary film?"

"Why do you think so?"

Zhang Yange had already anticipated the questions from netizens and posted a long article.

"I find that many people seem to be reluctant to accept the statement that "To Live" is not a literary and artistic film. Here I can tell you very seriously that "To Live" is indeed not a literary and artistic film. As for the reasons, please listen to my detailed explanation.

In the perception of the general public, it seems that dull and serious movies are all literary films and art films. In fact, this is not the case.

Literary films are a very serious genre in the industry. Real literary films have very strict identification standards in the industry. It does not mean that a certain movie is a literary film, that is, it is a literary film.

Often what many viewers think of as literary and artistic films are not real literary and artistic films, but pseudo-artistic films. Although people call these types of films literary and artistic films, they are not strictly literary and artistic films. "To Live" is such a film. Pseudo-artistic film.

Real literary and artistic films focus on pioneering and pioneering nature. The so-called pioneering and pioneering nature refer to certain innovations in film shooting techniques and narrative methods. All current film shooting techniques are pioneered by literary and artistic films.

Although "Alive" is a very good movie, the shooting techniques and narrative methods are traditional methods, and there is no innovation in the current shooting mode of the movie, so strictly speaking, this is not an artistic film.

In addition, because of their advanced exploration of film art, literary and artistic films often do not have high box office. As we all know, the box office of "Alive" has exceeded 30 billion, which is obviously not in line with the situation of literary and artistic films.

To sum up, "Alive" is not an artistic film. "

Zhang Yange's article is very long and contains a lot of professional terms. Overall it is very complicated. Most viewers can only partially understand it, but the meaning is still very obvious.

"Alive" is not a literary film, but a pseudo-artistic film.

Whether this conclusion is true or false is not very clear to the audience, because they don't understand it either.

But Zhang Yange is an authority in the field of directing, and he published such a long article. It seemed very reasonable, and the audience naturally believed what he said.

If this article alone is nothing, it doesn't matter. Whether "Alive" is a literary film or not has little to do with the audience.

but.

Zhang Yange's article seems to be a signal. Following the release of this article, a large number of strange remarks appeared on the Internet.

"It turns out that "Alive" is not an artistic film but a commercial film. We were all deceived by Xu Nan."

"This Xu Nan is so cunning. He actually deliberately described a commercial film as an artistic film to improve the film's reputation and attract the audience's attention."

"I just said it felt weird. This movie called "Alive" has already made 30 billion at the box office. Judging from the current situation, it may even enter the top ten domestic movie box office rankings. I thought to myself, a literary and artistic movie How could the film have such a high box office? It turns out it is a commercial film."

"Those netizens who have been bragging that this movie is a masterpiece can shut up. You actually have the nerve to brag about a commercial film. I wonder if it's normal for commercial films to have high box office."

"It can only be said that today's audiences are too stupid. They believe whatever others say. Xu Nan said that the movie is a literary film, and you just believe it. In fact, it is a commercial film with the head of a literary film."

"This movie has no artistic content at all. It's just a popcorn movie. It's okay to pass the time. It has no connotation at all."

Wait, wait, similar comments are everywhere on the Internet. They don't criticize the movie "Alive", they just keep brainwashing the audience. "Alive" is not an artistic film.

The Internet is a mess.
