Entertainment: God-level director

At seven o’clock in the evening, Lin Ran and the widowed sister arrived at a newly opened IMAX theater owned by ODEON, the largest theater chain in Europe.

As soon as they got off the bus, reporters who had been waiting here gathered around them, taking pictures and asking various questions.

“Dear reporter friends, please go to the upstairs cinema and wait. Mr. Lin will be interviewed after the road show is over.”

Before Lin Ran could say anything, the accompanying distributors from Universal Pictures and Burning Dream Pictures stepped forward to stop him.

The reporters didn’t insist and took a few photos before entering the studio. Lin Ran couldn’t escape anyway.

“Mr. Lin, I am the manager of this cinema. You can call me James. You are very welcome to come to our cinema with your crew to promote it.”

After the reporters left, the manager of the cinema came up to him and shook hands with Lin Ran with a smile on his face.

“Hello James, sorry to trouble you. Lin Ran smiled and said

“No trouble, it’s our honor for you to come to our cinema to promote. James waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile:”I like your movie very much. It’s really great. It’s no worse than a first-class Hollywood blockbuster. We in the UK can’t make such a good blockbuster!””

This guy finally complained about his country’s movies.

European movies are really in decline now. A few decades ago, some French filmmakers took the lead in launching the New Wave movement, which quickly swept across Europe.

However, the New Wave movies Style, most of them record or express an event or some characters in a focused way. The film is produced at a low cost, uses non-professional actors, does not use a studio but shoots in real scenes, and does not pursue exciting scenes and dramatic conflicts.

In terms of expression methods, the film They also make extensive use of long shots, mobile photography, voice-overs, inner monologues, and natural sounds that can express people’s subjective feelings and mental states. They even use unconventional shaking shots and”jump cuts” that break the unity of time and space.”、””Jump cuts”, etc.

We also use some”documentary” techniques such as follow-up shots with light cameras, snap shots, telephoto, zoom, freeze frame, continuation, and simultaneous recording to combine”subjective realism” and”objective realism”.” Combined.

Therefore, the New Wave films have a strong personal biography color, and many film masters have appeared, such as Truffaut and Godard.

But for the audience, these films are obscure and have no appeal at all.

Therefore, Europe Movies looked very prosperous and creative under the New Wave, but in fact they were constantly drying up.

After Hollywood mastered the ability to mass-produce blockbusters in the 1980s, European movies were instantly defeated by Hollywood.

When they woke up, And because the local box office market is too small to afford the high costs of large-scale productions, we can still only watch Hollywood blockbusters rampage.

Now, the domestic film box office share in several major European countries is only about 30%, with the lowest The profit is only over 20%

“Thanks.”

Lin Ran didn’t know whether this guy really liked him or was just being polite, so he thanked him verbally.

After saying hello to Lin Ran, James said hello to the widowed sister and others.

“Lin, more than 400 viewers came today, and all the seats were filled. We are very much looking forward to your arrival.”

After greetings, James said as he led Lin Ran and others into the cinema.

Lin Ran nodded with a smile and waited in the lounge for about ten minutes before the screening was completed.

Under the guidance of the cinema staff Next, Lin Ran and his group came to the theater, and the reporters quickly found their seats in the aisle.

“Lin and Scarlett are here!”

“Forest! Forest!”

“Scarlett, I love you!”

Seeing Lin Ran and the widowed sister appear, hundreds of spectators at the scene immediately applauded and cheered enthusiastically.

As for Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi, and Wes Bentley, they were basically ignored

“Ranzi, I didn’t expect you to be so popular in Europe.”

Wu Jing saw that there were many people cheering Lin Ran’s name at the scene, and couldn’t help but sigh.

“It’s okay.”Lin Ran smiled.

With the three movies of”The Tuner”,”The Return of the Clown” and”Superbody”, Lin Ran can’t compare to world-renowned actors such as Spielberg, Peter Jackson and George Lucas. is a great director, but he has also gained a certain reputation in the global film circle and has many fans.

“Director Lin, you are too humble. Apart from you, there is no other director in our country who has such a high reputation in the hearts of audiences around the world.”

Zhang Ziyi also said with admiration.

Although domestic directors such as Lao Mouzi, Chief Jia, and Wang Xiaoshuai have won more than one award in the three major European films, their reputations are only spread in the small circle of art films. There is no sense of presence in the audience

“Hello everyone, I am Lin Ran, the director of the movie”Interstellar”.”

After the scene calmed down, Lin Ran smiled and greeted the audience.

Bang bang bang~~~

In an instant, the whole audience burst into warm cheers again

“Lin, will you be able to perform kung fu later?”

As soon as the applause stopped, a male audience member asked loudly.

Hearing this guy’s question, other audience members’ eyes lit up and they looked at Lin Ran expectantly.

Lin Ran can also be so popular in Europe. In addition to movies, It also has a lot to do with his knowledge of kung fu. In the eyes of these foreigners, Lin Ran seems particularly magical.

“……”

Lin Ran was speechless and joked:”Man, are you going to challenge me?”

“Oh no!”The guy shook his head quickly

“Hahaha.”

The other audience burst into laughter.

After the widowed sister and others also finished saying hello, the communication session began.

“Lin, is the name of the character Murphy in the movie based on Murphy’s Law?”

“Yes”

“Director, there is a grandfather paradox in this movie. Since humans still exist in the future, then Mess and the others will definitely succeed. Since they will succeed, why do they need the help of the five-dimensional space created by future people to succeed?”

“The grandfather paradox is a paradox in three dimensions, but not necessarily in five dimensions, right?”

“Lin, why was Moss not torn into pieces when he entered the black hole, but instead directly entered a five-dimensional space?”

“Lin, why did Dr. Mann attack Mess?”

Next, the audience kept asking questions.

Even if you watch this movie carefully, there will be a lot of doubts. Now that the director is in front of you, they asked Lin Ran questions one after another.

As for those who previously expected Lin Ran to perform kung fu The audience forgot about it in the blink of an eye and participated in the discussion with great interest.

Of course, there were also some audience members, especially women, who took the opportunity to ask all kinds of gossip and light-hearted topics.

Because the audience was so enthusiastic, the originally scheduled one-hour communication time was It ended up being an hour and a half, and if the studio staff hadn’t dissuaded me, I probably wouldn’t have been able to finish it for two hours.
