Practitioners in the literary and art industry have exceptionally good professional abilities and an extraordinary sense of humanity.

Some of them beat the drums louder and blew the trumpets even louder, revealing the reality of social class so deeply that the general public was frightened after seeing it. They even regarded them as confidants and spokesmen for the grassroots. fighter.

Then, through these works, people became famous and made a lot of money, wallowing in the fame and fortune fair...

They portray social issues very penetratingly, but they regard these as proof of their abilities and use them in exchange for various resources!

Haha, artist!

In fact, when most people make movies, apart from love, they mainly regard movies as a tool to become famous, nothing more!

In an era of entertaining ourselves to death, criticism of entertaining ourselves to death can itself become a kind of entertainment - this is what the second episode of the first season of "Black Mirror" said in "The Value of Fifteen Million"...

My dear, from now on, we are all human beings!

Pants are probably like this.

He saw Shen Changlin and Xu Zheng standing together and walked over with a smile: "You two are here too!"

"Director Feng..."

"Come and help the Guidance Association stand on the platform...it's great!"

"Um…"

After a few words of greeting, the three of them separated. Shen Changlin and Xu Zheng sat at the same table. Next to them were Xue Xiaolu, Yang Qing, Su Lun, and Wen Muye, all four of whom were nominated for Young Director of the Year...

Shen Changlin was also nominated: Director of the Year, Film of the Year, Screenwriter of the Year...

But with "Big Buddha" here, "The Thieves" is definitely out of business!

A few people sat together and started chatting...

The conversation started mainly around "Charlotte Troubles".

"This movie really made me laugh until I cried!"

"Mahua has been doing comedy for almost ten years. These people can accurately capture the audience's laughter!"

"What surprised me the most was the actors. Even if they appeared on the edge of the screen where the audience couldn't even notice, their movements would not slacken, their expressions would not be distorted, and even their eye positioning would be correct."

"Experienced on the drama stage!"

Shen Changlin listened to their chat and interjected from time to time. He felt that the Directors Guild was no different from his own company, except that there was no food...

Yang Qing glanced at Shen Changlin and said doubtfully: ""A Story More Sad Than Sad", I went to see this movie... I felt..."

"Not good?" Shen Changlin smiled: "The target audience of this movie is female viewers between 15 and 25 years old. Hypocritical love, love + cancer + death, with keywords like this, are you still going to contribute to the box office? I I really admire you!"

"...I think the box office is high..."

""Tiny Times" also has a box office of more than 300 million, why don't you go see it..."

While we were chatting, the staff found Shen Changlin and asked him to go backstage to prepare. He was pretending to be cool, but no, the speech was about to start.

…

The commendation meeting of the Guidance Association was formerly a seminar...

It means that directors from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places come together to talk freely and conduct research and discussions on Chinese film art.

A group of directors gathered together, and someone suggested holding an awards ceremony for fun?

Then the first session was decided like this. There were only Director of the Year, Young Director of the Year, Actor of the Year, Actress of the Year, and by the way, the Box Office Director of the Year Award was also given to A Mou - that year A Mou's "House of Flying Daggers" 》is the annual box office champion...

Later, there were broadcasts by movie channels and brand sponsorships. It became bigger and bigger, and by the way, it added the annual screenwriter award, the annual Hong Kong and Taiwan director award and the annual special commendation award. By the tenth time, it simply added the jury commendation award. , two awards for outstanding contribution to director!

Of course this year is the fifth.

It is important to note that Amou is not here. He is in the United States. There is nothing we can do. It is a critical moment for public relations. It will take at least two days to go back and forth. We cannot afford to waste it!

The hosts are Huang Bo and Xu Zheng…

The two played tricks for a while, and then invited Shen Changlin to come on stage to act (pretend) and talk (force).

Shen Changlin took the phone and said casually: "That's right, I received a call from director Li Shaohong last week. I originally thought she wanted to comfort me... After all, "The Thief" sold three copies worldwide. 100 million US dollars, but it is generally recognized that this year’s Directors Guild’s Film of the Year and Director of the Year are either Amou or “Big Buddha”. By the way, I heard that they also want to recommend “Dear Child” as the film of the year!”

"...I'm not unconvinced. After all, I also participated in these two works, which are really good! But after all, I sold 300 million US dollars... Then she told me to prepare a speech with the theme of the current situation of Chinese movies. …”

“The current situation of Chinese films? What’s there to say?

Let me put it this way, Wanda acquired AMC Cinemas and is now considering whether to acquire Paramount or Lionsgate; Ahri acquired Cultural China and formed Ari Pictures; Tencent also became Penguin Pictures, which is Baidu’s Robin Li is busy making dirty money, but I heard that they are also doing big data prediction for box office, and they also established Nuomi Movie...

They are not fools, they are not in the limelight, so why should they enter? Look, Chinese movies, what can be said about this thing? The future is bright!"

"Chairman Li said, don't talk nonsense. How did Robin Li make shady money? I said that his promotion and bidding ranking model almost killed my game company. Isn't this shady enough? Fortunately, we chose the wegame platform without hesitation and established our own company by the way. The platform Bethesda... forget about cheating my game company. The key is Baidu bidding search. Hospitals are their good friends. Hospitals are an industry related to human life. How dare you engage in bidding rankings? I really don’t know how many victims there are!”

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and let's get down to business. Chairman Li was very angry and said that I asked you to talk about movies and directors, not to show off your wealth!"

"Okay, let's talk about the director!"

"Directors, in a nutshell, use audio-visual means to mobilize the audience's attention... These are knowledge from books, so I won't go into them. Let's talk about awe!"

"Because I was chatting with a self-recommended director some time ago. He brought a project, a typical literary film, and asked for a production cost of 60 million. I asked him if he knew how high 60 million was... to give a few examples. , the cost of "Dallas Buyers Club" was US$5 million, the cost of Ah Mou's "Hunting" was 14 million yuan, and even the cost of "Big Buddha" was 16 million yuan..."

"I'm talking about the production cost after deducting the director's and actors' fees!"

"Sixty million... is considered a big cost even in the North American independent film industry... He actually came to me so openly! First, he didn't respect me, second, he didn't respect the movie, and third, he didn't respect the market! "

"I don't know about others, but just talking about me, before I shoot a commercial film, I have to polish the script at least three times and discuss it with screenwriters of different ages before I dare to finalize it... The market is ever-changing, and the audience's taste is too elusive. Got it!"

"Why are you so timid?"

"Because I am in awe of movies... I especially like to watch the old versions of the adaptations of the Four Great Classics... I can feel the awe of the director team, they are worried that they have messed up the treasures of the Chinese nation!

I think it is undeniable that an excellent director has talent, but what is terrible is the ego that is directly proportional to the talent.

Awe and humility towards movies may be the cornerstone of a play or movie. Only with more humility and awe can you be sophisticated and ingenious!"
