China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 245 The director speaks with his works [Please subscribe]

Lu Chuan, director and screenwriter, comes from a literary and artistic family.

In 2002, his screenwriter and director debut film "The Gun" emerged in the Chinese film industry and was selected to compete for the Golden Lion Award in the competition unit of the 59th Venice Film Festival.

In 2004, the film "Kekexili" written and directed by him won top domestic film awards such as Huabiao Award, Golden Rooster Award, and Golden Horse Award. Internationally, he won the Tokyo International Film Festival Jury Award. With this film, he was selected by the American magazine "Variety" One of the top ten young directors in the world.

Just looking at these resumes, he himself is simply a representative of Tianhu who started to become famous at a young age.

In the Chinese film industry, among directors under the age of 35, he is definitely second to none in terms of honors and achievements.

Therefore, he has been enjoying flowers and applause from all aspects.

This situation lasted until 07, when it was suddenly broken by a person.

The best short film Palme d'Or director at Cannes and the youngest director in the billion-dollar box office club in China, Sun Yi's sudden emergence has sucked away all the praise that originally belonged to him.

Nowadays, whenever young directors are mentioned, whether in the industry or ordinary movie fans, the name most people mention is Sun Yi.

And with the just-released movie "Fake Marriage", the box office continues to soar, surpassing "The Unknown" at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even approaching the box office record of the Lunar New Year champion "Assembly".

Sun Yi's name was mentioned frequently again, and the contrasting figure was Lu Chuan.

The rise of a new king will inevitably be accompanied by the fall of the previous generation.

But Lu Chuan was not convinced.

The last time he read Sun Yi's "The Unknown Man", he felt that Sun Yi was just lucky. There were no tigers in the mountains and the monkey was the king.

But this time the appearance of "Fake Marriage" shocked him, and at the same time, his mentality was a little unbalanced, and he actually doubted himself.

The box office numbers are all real data, and data never lie.

Could it be that I really can't do it anymore?

The idea of ​​luck can be explained once, but is it always luck every time?

At this critical moment, the film's reputation gradually became polarized, and it slowly turned into a war between the popular camp and the academic camp.

The popular school talks about the brilliance of the characters in the movie, laughter and touching love, while the academic school talks about the structural flaws of the play, the mediocrity of the audio-visual language, and even the plagiarism of creative themes.

Lu Chuan was a die-hard academic. When he heard such remarks, he felt that he was about to meet a good talent. Like nectar after a long drought, he finally found the answer to the question he had been struggling with for a long time. He took the initiative to convince himself and washed his mind. Even He began to publish his own film reviews everywhere, clarify his views, and belittle Sun Yi.

But the amount of attention he currently receives is limited, and he has not stirred up much fuss in this debate.

He was unwilling.

No, by virtue of his status as the chairman of the young expert jury of Beijing University students, he once again expressed his views on this film at the symposium.

Just like the moment when my film review was published, I felt comfortable all over. When Lu Chuan stood on the stage and talked about it, he felt that strange pleasure, just like the waves of excitement after a successful shot. Touching his body made him unable to stop.

So much so that when Sun Yi directly mentioned the title of the movie "Fake Marriage" in the audience, he felt happy and felt that he had been affirmed and found a like-minded comrade.

That's why he said that funny sentence.

Lu Chuan stood on the stage, immersed in his own world, and did not immediately recognize Sun Yi in the audience. However, other student judges in the audience, especially some students from film and television art colleges, recognized Sun Yi. Recognized.

"Damn it, no way, it seems to be Sun Yi?"

"It looks too much like him, so he can't really be the same person."

"Nah, it's really him."

"Hey, I saw a good show today. It's good to belittle other people's works in front of the rightful owner."

The student judges in the audience gradually turned from whispers to "buzz" and "buzz" discussions.

This phenomenon attracted the attention of the Secretary-General of the organizing committee. He called a teacher next to him who was responsible for the specific preparations and asked with a puzzled look:

"what happened?"

The young teacher was a little confused at the moment. He obviously recognized Sun Yi, but he had to answer the leader's questions.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply:
"Uh, Secretary-General, the person sitting in the audience seems to be Sun Yi."

"Sun Yi, which Sun Yi?"

The secretary-general didn't react for a moment.

"That's the director of the movie "Fake Marriage", Sun Yi from Beijing Film Academy."

"What? Nonsense!"

After hearing this, the secretary-general became furious, his eyes widened, he reached out to cover the microphone, lowered his voice, and scolded the young teacher fiercely.

"How do you do your job? How can you just let him be a student judge? What do you mean? A successful director with a box office record of [-] million yuan cannot even be an expert judge in our college student film festival. He can only be a student judge. What do outsiders think of us?”

The young teacher buried his head deeply with regret on his face.

"I'm sorry, boss, I was negligent in my work."

"What's the use of apologizing? It's over now. Let's think about how to remedy it."

The jury composition of the University Student Film Festival has always been divided into young expert judges and student judges. The student judges have always been recommended by the major participating universities themselves, while the young expert judges are selected and invited by the organizing committee.

Therefore, I have never paid special attention to student judges. Who would have thought that the student judge recommended by BJ Film Academy this year would be Sun Yi.

Is the director who has a box office record of [-] million yuan so worthless now?

The key thing is that this Sun Yi is really here, which is simply puzzling.

It's thanks to him that he's here, otherwise he might have been tricked by this guy like Lu Chuan.

The strange situation at the scene finally caught Lu Chuan's attention. He stopped his eloquent speech and looked down the stage with a trace of doubt.

Suddenly, I was shocked.

I have met the Lord.

The pleasure that was just like a tidal wave immediately disappeared as if the tide had receded.

It wasn't that Lu Chuan was afraid of Sun Yi, but that he suddenly appeared in front of him when he was commenting on other people's works, which really surprised him.

Lu Chuan was standing on the stage at the moment, feeling a bit stuck, but what he had just said had already been said, and it was definitely impossible to take it back, and there were so many people present. In that case, he would lose face.

Think about it.

Sun Yi happened to be here, so he could use this opportunity to teach him and let him know what it means to be high and high.The decision was made immediately, and the road leads to darkness.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan's face showed a confident smile again.

In what he thought was a humorous tone, he greeted Sun Yi in the audience.

"Hey, I didn't expect that Director Sun Yi happened to be in the audience. I didn't recognize him just now. I'm sorry."

"Director Lu, it doesn't matter. It's not too late to recognize him now."

"Haha, Director Sun Yi is really good at joking. I just want to discuss this movie with you while you are here."

Okay, let’s just classify it as a problem.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi sneered and replied:
"Oh, Director Lu, you can just talk about it. Even if I'm not here, you can still talk about it."

The conversation between the two was full of gunpowder.

Lu Chuan didn't care about this. After deciding on the idea in his mind, he realized that today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He was now focused on trying to find Sun Yi. He was afraid that Sun Yi would not pick up the fight, so he expressed his opinion directly.

"Director Sun Yi, speaking of which, you are also my junior, and you can be considered a serious academic. However, you have deviated from the academic path. In your film, I cannot see the diversity of art, and I cannot see the diversity of art. With profound connotations and thoughts, I think such works have no soul.”

Seeing Lu Chuan's attitude of preparing for a verbal battle with him, Sun Yi narrowed his eyes and became serious.

He had always put on a bad face at the banquet last time, but this time he had to go even harder and discuss the issues of his movie in public.

Sun Yi's patience had reached its limit, and this time there was nothing he could say to give him face.

He stood up solemnly and replied to Lu Chuan on the stage:

"Director Lu Chuan, first of all, I disagree with you when you say that I have deviated from the academy. Whether the academy only represents a person's educational background, or the learning path he has experienced, rather than a judgment on a person. Definition, therefore, there is no so-called deviation among academics at all.”

"you"

Sun Yi's first rebuttal made Lu Chuan confused.

But because Lu Chuan stood on the stage and Sun Yi stood off the stage, one was higher and the other was lower. In addition, he did not have a microphone in his hand, so the volume was insufficient.Therefore, it gives people the innate feeling that Sun Yi is still at a disadvantage.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yao, who was sitting in the back row, quickly found a spare microphone, ran a few steps and delivered it to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi nodded, gave Qin Yao a look of thanks, grabbed the microphone in his hand, and continued to ask Lu Chuan on the stage:
"As for the artistic diversity mentioned by Director Lu Chuan, I have little talent and knowledge. I would like to ask, what does Director Lu Chuan mean by artistic diversity?"

Hearing Sun Yi's rhetorical question, Lu Chuan came out of the state of being reprimanded and chuckled lightly, as if he was mocking Sun Yi as a director for not even knowing this most basic definition. He explained with great satisfaction at the moment stand up:
"Artistic diversity refers to the wide variety of art forms and styles that exist in different cultures and art fields. It blends with cultural diversity and reflects the artistic characteristics and cultural essence of different eras, different regions and different nations."

"Just like your movie, it is very inadequate in terms of expression of art and culture. A strong woman, a hidden rich second generation, has neither modern artistic characteristics nor the essence of traditional culture, so I think it is Failure."

"Okay, thanks to Director Lu Chuan for clarifying my doubts and memorizing a definition from a textbook."

"Pfft hahaha"

On the surface, this sentence was a thank you, but in fact it was a sarcastic remark, which caused cheerful laughter among the college students present.

Lu Chuan's face also turned red and white with anger.

Sun Yi ignored him and continued:
"Director Lu Chuan, my understanding of the diversity of art is very different from yours. What you are talking about is a completely superior definition."

"First of all, art comes from life. Its first definition is that it is for the public, and the same is true for the diversity of art. Its charm lies in the appreciation of the public. There are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand people."

"Secondly, art is subjective. The same piece of work will be different regardless of people's experience. It will reflect different things based on people's different experiences, different moods, and different cultures."

"Just like my movie, every viewer will have his or her own interpretation. He can feel happiness, be moved, and have various other emotions. Instead of being a director who has to express himself Things are forced into the movie and fed to the audience. Every audience has their own choice. I think this is the diversity of art."

"As for the characteristics of modern art and the essence of traditional culture that Director Lu Chuan talked about, I don't remember making such claims for my movie."

"I just try my best to tell a story to the audience, that's all."

"Clah la la la la la!!!"

When Sun Yi finished speaking, the scene suddenly burst into applause.

Lu Chuan was a little overwhelmed by the sudden round of applause. He could no longer control his emotions. He raised his tone and yelled loudly on the stage, as if to suppress the harsh applause.

"Your movie is about love, but the expression of love is extremely vulgar. It neither expresses the freedom of love nor the unforgettable love. It is superficial and feeble. You are blaspheming love."

Sun Yi looked at the furious Lu Chuan with a trace of disdain on his lips.

Does it make sense to have a loud voice?

People like you are worthy of love.

"Does love need to be unforgettable? Love itself is the most shocking thing in the world. The most beautiful thing about love is how it was at first. All unnecessary descriptions of her are superfluous."

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhing"

Now, the applause was even more enthusiastic. Even the other young expert judges on the stage couldn't help but admire Sun Yi.

Sure enough, there are no worthless people under the fame.

Just talking about his eloquence, if he was more ruthless, he could probably put Lu Chuan in the hospital.

Lu Chuan was so angry that his gasping for breath could be heard from the speakers at the scene.

"You, you are making too much sense."

Looking at Lu Chuan, he looked unconvinced.

Sun Yi also understood.

Just like "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second."

The director is also a literati. It is absolutely impossible to admit that his skills are inferior to others.

"Well, Director Lu Chuan, we are both directors. There is no point in arguing here. You can't explain me, and I can't explain you. Let's not waste time. The organizing committee's process is still going on. Why not just use the works? Come on, don’t you want to shoot an opening short film for the film festival? I’ll make one too, let’s try it out.”

"Okay, let's take love as the theme."

"as you wish."

　For the sake of the continuity of the plot, I posted it together. It could have been two in one, but I don’t want to overdo it, so I’ll just treat it as a single chapter of 3800 words. I’m short of one chapter and will make it up tomorrow.

　　Let me ask you weakly,
　　Can I ask for a monthly pass?
