Entertainment: God-level director

“Lin Ran, I have watched your movie.”I Am Not the God of Medicine” is very good. It is the best reality-themed movie in China in the past ten years.”

Mark Muller replied in fluent Chinese.

“Mr. Mueller, you have also read”I’m Not the God of Medicine”》？”

Lin Ran was a little surprised and a little surprised.

“I have watched almost all good-quality films in China. Your”I Am Not the God of Medicine” caused a sensation, so I will naturally look for it. Mark

Muller said with a smile,”At your age, you can make such a film that profoundly reflects social reality. I am very optimistic that you can not only make good commercial films, but also art films.””

“Mr. Mueller deserves the award, I will definitely work hard.”

Lin Ran said modestly.

Suddenly he thought of something and invited:”Mr. Muller, I am preparing a film that is more literary and artistic. I hope you can be the producer of the film.”

“oh?

Mark Muller asked with great interest:”What is this movie about?””

Lin Ran briefly talked about the content of”Exploding Drummer”

“Lin Ran, I am very interested in this story and I am willing to be the producer of this film.”

Although he only heard a general idea and the thoughts he wanted to express, Mark Muller agreed immediately.

He is a film producer by profession and has also served as a producer for many Chinese films, such as director Zhang Yuan”Going Home for the New Year”, this film won five awards including the Special Director Award, Children’s and Film Award at the 56th Venice Film Festival, and was also nominated for the Golden Lion

“With Mr. Mueller on board, I have even more confidence in the film.”

Lin Ran was all smiles when he saw Mark Muller’s promise.

Despite his humble appearance, this old man has great energy in the European film industry and has served as the host of many film festivals.

For an art film, he can If you can’t win an award, it often depends not on whether the movie is good or not, but on the judges’ tastes and preferences, so connections are very important.

“Lin Ran, your story has a lot of room for exploration. If you shoot it well, you might win some authoritative international awards for China.”

Section Chief Jia said with appreciation after hearing this.

“definitely. Lin Ran smiled and nodded.

After chatting for a while, the group entered the movie theater in the movie palace. The movie hall was not large and could only accommodate more than a hundred people. At this moment, it was full of seats.

“Wow, Lin Ran is here!”

“I didn’t expect to see Brother Ran again, it premiered today.”

The audience was also full of surprises when they saw Lin Ran was there, and started talking a lot.

Lin Ran smiled and waved to the audience, and then sat in the guest seats in the front row with Chief Jia and Mark Mueller. Liu Jie brought the leading actors Guo Jinfei, Yang Mi, and Li Hong to the stage and interacted with the audience for a while.

After more than 20 minutes, the interactive session ended, and then he officially watched the movie. Although Lin Ran did not have high expectations for”Baby” , but I still watched it seriously.

Although he calls himself a director of commercial films, he does not reject literary and artistic films. He will watch them repeatedly when he encounters good literary and artistic films. Many advanced film languages actually first appeared in literary and artistic films.

It is a pity that although director Liu Jie claimed to have been preparing for the movie”Baby” for 9 years, it did not bring many surprises to Lin Ran. Both the content and the language of the movie were lackluster.

As for Yang Mi, in the movie She lost her previous glamour, acted ugly, spoke in dialect, and lowered her figure. Compared to her previous movies, her acting skills were indeed better.

But in the eyes of a professional director like Lin Ran, she still looked very… Programming is far from superb, especially when compared with the performance of veteran drama star Guo Jinfei, the difference can be seen at a glance.

In Lin Ran’s view, even if Yang Mi is replaced by Wan Qian, Tan Zhuo, etc. If an actress with good acting skills comes to star, the quality will not be improved much. If I insist on giving it a score, it will only be 6.5. In the blink of an eye, one hundred minutes have passed and the movie is over.

Bang bang bang~~~

There was still a burst of applause in the cinema

“How about it?”Yang Mi asked with some expectation.

“The results may disappoint you.”

Lin Ran shook his head and replied in a low voice.

Yang Mi pouted and didn’t say anything else. Amidst the applause, she and Liu Jie and others went on stage to communicate with the audience after the screening, in order to show their intentions in filming. , she also spoke a few words of Nanjing dialect on the spot.

During this period, Lin Ran was a guest and was also cueed by the host, who asked him to talk about his impressions after watching. Although there was no surprise in his heart, Lin Ran definitely couldn’t tell it honestly. , said some nice scene words

“Lin Ran,”Baby” is really bad?”

After the premiere, Yang Mi asked on the way back to the hotel

“I can’t say it’s really bad, but it certainly doesn’t meet your expectations. Lin Ran said truthfully

“……”

After a few seconds of silence, Yang Mi refused to give up and said:”That’s not necessarily the case. This movie is a literary and artistic film and cannot be judged from the perspective of a commercial film.”

Lin Ran shook his head and smiled, and did not hit her again. How about the reputation? Wait a few days You’ll find out when Queen of Heaven is released.

On the 19th,”Baby” was officially released nationwide. On the first day of release, it received 23% of the film schedules, which was the highest film schedule of the day. However, the box office had just exceeded 10 million, ranking only in third place. Compared with”Baby” which had been released for 20 days,”Wushuang” is still 10 million short.

If the box office difference is not too surprising, after all,”Baby” is a literary film, and the box office will not be high. The problem is that the film’s reputation is not good, with a Douban score of only 5.6.

Whether it is Douban or the ticket purchasing platform, a large number of comments expressed doubts about Yang Mi’s acting skills.

In the next two days, the film schedule dropped to 12%, and the box office in a single day was less than 5 million. The total box office in the first three days just exceeded 20 million. It can be said that all word-of-mouth tickets were sold out.

Immediately, netizens and the media went into a frenzy, discussing Yang Mi’s failure in transformation.

Even the official media reported on it, criticizing Yang Mi for deliberately acting ugly and exaggerating. Once her image is overdrawn, don’t blame the audience for not buying it.

Liu Jie, who had previously licked Yang Mi fiercely in order to get her to play the leading role, also quickly threw the blame away.

No matter how big-hearted Yang Mi was, the blow she received this time was not small.

There was no way, she really wanted to act well to prove herself, and she really worked hard, and she also invested 20 million for it. As a result, she not only lost her wife but also lost her soldiers.

“Lin Ran, you are right.”

Yang Mi sent a WeChat message to Lin Ran. A proud Da Mi Mi took the initiative to admit her mistake this time._
