A Guide to Growth After Rebirth

Chapter 37 tit for tat
What caused the most media sensation at the college student film festival was not big-name actresses such as Guo Ling, Zhang Meimei, and Wei Man, nor popular male gods such as Su Yu and Gu Jiaheng, but the duel of directors from different factions.

Directors of different eras have received different educations, grown up in different environments, and their creative concepts are also very different.

Some of the directors who are active on the screen have experienced the times when the film industry was most inactive. When film talents were needed, they received the most rigorous training. Influenced by the Eastern trend of thought, they also actively explored Western films. They had a passion for innovation Get on the creative road.Some directors grew up at the stage of vigorous development of the film industry. They have their own personalities and hold a critical attitude towards everything. They are bold, rebellious and innovative.Some directors are active in the era of rapid economic development. They value the grasp of the market and the choice of themes, and they firmly catch the audience's attention.

The competition between commercial films and literary films, the choice of market and connotation, and how to integrate them well is a difficult problem for directors, and it is also something that filmmakers have always cared about.

The up-and-coming director Lin Qi and the veteran director Su Jinrong also had a war of words because of this.

Su Jinrong became famous very early. He created a new era of martial arts movies. His martial arts blockbusters were sought after by countless audiences. However, with the diversification of film genres, his martial arts movies are also declining day by day, but he still insists on himself. The dream, sticking to the original intention of choosing to devote himself to the film industry.

Lin Qi was born into a film family. His grandfather and father are both well-known film directors, but he loves films and thinks that a good film meets the requirements of the times and is loved by the audience. Therefore, he is attacked by many old-fashioned directors for being self-righteous and grandstanding , The movies have no connotation, they are all popcorn movies.

Lin Qi said that the box office of any movie of his own is higher than the box office of ten movies of some seniors. Some of the seniors made things that no one could understand. What's so good about making movies that the audience doesn't recognize? Yes, is it a movie that wasted a lot of money just for those few people to watch it behind closed doors?

Originally, Su Jinrong and Lin Qi didn't have any big conflicts. Su Jinrong's movies are very humanistic, but the box office is still okay, but Lin Qi's words seem to upset many people. I really think the juniors are too arrogant!
Some directors have spent a lot of time and money making some obscure films. Even if the box office is hopeless, they still look forward to being favored by the judges of the film festival, winning an award or something, and it is best to gain both fame and fortune.Some of them won a lot of awards, and even if the box office was heartbreaking, awards can find new investors.It's just that more people wasted their energy and gained nothing. Seeing that the young Lin Qi could gain market recognition casually, they couldn't help feeling jealous, and they provoked the best of the established directors and the representatives of the new directors to confront each other. Children who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth know that their predecessors and authority are not so easy to challenge.

Lin Qi's success has inspired more young people. Some of them have real talents and work hard.And some people have great ambitions and talents, complaining that their predecessors do not give up their positions, control resources and channels, and also hit those who are eager to make progress like themselves.You know, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, the predecessors should give way!
