Entertainment: God-level director

After filming the scenes in Morocco, all the overseas scenes were finished.

However,”Inception” has not yet been completed, and there are still some scenes in China.

Early the next morning, Lin Ran and others rushed from Tangier to Casablanca.

Casablanca is a historic city in Morocco, the largest port city, economic center and transportation hub. It is known as the”Bride of the Atlantic”.

At the end of January this year, Casablanca and Beijing opened direct flights, which was also China’s first direct flight to Morocco. , no need to go through the intermediate plane

“Everyone went back to rest for two days, and then recuperated and filmed the last part of the scene.”

It was already past nine o’clock when we returned to the capital. Lin Ran warned everyone.

“Okay, director.”

Everyone nodded, and then went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Dilireba did not go back to No. 1 Courtyard with Lin Ran, but went back to her own home.

Lin Ran returned to No. 1 Courtyard, and there was no time. It was early, and I fell asleep after washing up.

I slept for ten hours. I woke up at nine o’clock the next morning, feeling refreshed. I had a simple breakfast and tidied up. Lin Ran went out and came to a quiet pavilion in No. 1 Courtyard Community.

“Director Lin.”

Guo Wei had already arrived and quickly stood up to greet Lin Ran.

Lin Ran shook hands with Guo Wei and sat on the wooden chair opposite her.

“let’s start.”

After a few simple greetings, Lin Ran said

“Director Lin,”Parasite” recently won four awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Film. It caused a lot of buzz. Have you seen this movie?”

Guo Wei cleared his throat and asked the first question.

The accompanying photographer also turned on the equipment and started recording.

“I took the time to watch it while filming in the United States. It is an excellent movie.

Guo Wei then asked:”So, what do you think of”Parasite” winning four awards ?”

“To be honest, it was a bit surprising. Before the awards ceremony, the industry generally believed that”Parasite” would definitely win the best international film.

But for several other awards, it is full of variables, because the competitors at the same time are also very strong, such as Quentin Quentin’s”Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is the biggest favorite. Lin

Ran replied.

Guo Wei:”Then do you think”Parasite” deserves the award?””

“I think it is well deserved.”Parasite” is indeed a very good movie. It is not surprising that it won the best director and best picture.”

Lin Ran was silent for a few seconds and said with a smile.

Just kidding, can he still say he is not worthy?

This is not only a slap in Bong Joon-ho’s face, but also a slap in the face of the Oscar organizing committee.

Even many domestic netizens will not If you buy it, you will only think that he is narrow-minded and jealous that others won the Oscar.

“Director Lin, the Oscar win for”Parasite” has also aroused domestic discussions about the quality of domestic films. Many people believe that although my country’s box office has become higher in recent years, the quality of films has not improved much. What do you think?”

Guo Wei continued to ask

“I don’t agree with this view. Lin

Ran shook his head directly:”On the contrary, the quality of our country’s films has been improving rapidly in recent years.””

“Can you elaborate?”

“Let me first take a look at the development trajectory of domestic films. In 1993, our country abolished the policy of monopolizing the purchase and sales of films and began the film market-oriented reform. Since then, film companies have been responsible for their own profits and losses.

This was a good reform, but at that time, our country’s economic level was relatively backward, coupled with the lack of commercial directors, which caused Chinese movies to be at their lowest point during this period, with a total box office of only a few hundred million per year.”

After a pause, Lin Ran continued:”In 2002, a blockbuster movie was released, which was”Hero” directed by Zhang Yimou. This movie took in 250 million, but the total box office of Chinese movies in 2001 was only 8.9. 100 million.

It can be seen that the huge success of this movie has led to a consensus in the industry that only blockbusters can attract audiences to the cinema, thus starting the era of blockbusters in China.

However, our country’s economy was still relatively backward at that time. Watching a movie cost dozens of yuan, which was still a heavy burden for the audience, so the development of the film industry was very slow.

This process lasted for 10 years. By the time”囧” directed by Xu Zheng was released in 2012, it was the first domestic film to have a box office of over 1 billion. This greatly encouraged domestic filmmakers and capital began to enter the film and television industry in a large scale.

However, everyone has seen what happened in the next few years. The film and television industry has become more impetuous than ever before, traffic is dominant, bad movies are rampant, and the audience’s impression of domestic movies is getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, this process only lasted a few years. Audiences began to pay attention to word-of-mouth, capital gradually began to be rational, and the film industry finally got on the right track.

Coupled with the film talents accumulated in the past and the gradually improving film industry, the improvement in the quality of domestic films is obvious to all.”

Guo Wei nodded. As a reporter from the movie channel, she can certainly feel this personally.

“Many people also believe that Chinese films have lagged far behind South Korean films. Director Lin, what do you think of this issue?”

“I still don’t agree with this point of view. Lin

Ran shook his head again:”I have also read some discussions on the Internet. Many people think that South Korea’s film industry is more industrialized than China’s because South Korea’s special effects are good.”

In fact, apart from Hollywood, the only one with a relatively complete film industry system and industry in the world is China.

The color grading and post-production of many Hollywood movies are still produced by the country. Can you say that the industry of the country has completely destroyed Hollywood?

The main reason why I chose a South Korean special effects company was that it was cheap.

But in recent years, my country’s local special effects companies have developed very rapidly. You can see with the naked eye that the level of special effects in Chinese movies has improved. For example, the special effects of my”The Wandering Earth” and Dumpling’s”Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World” are mainly Domestic companies do it, and the special effects for my”Interstellar” and”Inception” are mainly done by domestic companies.

Moreover, the film industry does not only mean good special effects, but also a standardized system for producing blockbusters.

You see, Bernard has successively released”Operation Mekong”,”Operation Red Sea”,”Heroes of Fire” and”Captain of China” in recent years. Being able to produce blockbusters so steadily shows that Bernard has mastered the continuous production of major Hollywood companies. Blockbuster techniques, this is the film industry.

It can be said that thanks to the huge domestic market, our country is the only one that can challenge Hollywood, so don’t belittle yourself or even become inferior just because”Parasite” won a few Oscars.”

After a pause, Lin Ran continued:”Even if we compare the awards won internationally, our country still has the most awards among the three East Asian countries. Just compared with the three highest awards in Europe, we have 12, Japan and Benzene have 10, and South Korea has won 10.

Even if you include the four Oscars that”Parasite” won at once, there are only 6, which is still less than us.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that artistic films and commercial films are not antagonistic. You cannot say that commercial films are not good films if they have no connotation.

Only when commercial films open up a larger market can literary and artistic films live better. Looking at today’s literary and artistic films, it is very common for box office to exceed 100 million. This was unimaginable ten years ago.

In fact, apart from Hollywood, we are the only ones in the world who can pursue the industrialization and artisticization of the film industry at the same time, and achieve results by running both lines in parallel.

Therefore, we cannot be proud, but there is no need to belittle ourselves.

This is a disease and must be cured!”

Lin Ran’s tone was very calm, but it contained strong confidence and was extremely contagious. It made Guo Wei and the accompanying photographers feel excited.

“Director Lin, at the press conference for”Inception”, you set two small goals. One of them was to get several Oscar nominations. Are you really confident about getting it?”

After calming down some excitement, Guo Wei asked a question related to Lin Ran himself._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
