Chapter 549 May
In the last chapter, there were several mistakes in the names of people. Jin Han was mistaken for Zou Wenhuai. It was purely because my mind was lost when I wrote it. I'm sorry! The time for coding is limited every day. I also want to write as much as possible so that everyone can read more, but as long as I hurry up, there will be more mistakes and omissions. Next, I will try my best to pay attention!

In May, major events continued in the domestic entertainment industry.
Li Qian's new album has been controversial and mixed. Wang Jinglu was suddenly revealed to be Li Qian's real girlfriend for many years and future wife. Traveling together, the intimate posture attracted protests and blessings from many fans, but then it was revealed that the young man already had a regular wife in his family, and she was of an extraordinary background. Denying love, saying they were just friends, when Li Xinru showed up again, her eyes were reddish and her face was haggard. For a while, the gossip that the little queen of the music world couldn't do it even if she wanted to be a concubine caused another wave of heated discussions among the people.
At the same time, a wave of more than a dozen photos of Wang Jinglu and Liao Liao walking in the shopping mall holding hands suddenly burst out on the Internet. Although the photos are unprofessional at first glance, they should have been recognized by fans at the time and taken with a mobile phone with poor pixels Yes, but the faces and expressions of the two are clearly distinguishable, and they seem quite affectionate.
To some extent, the "harmony between wives and concubines" in Li Qian's family can just be used to reflect the unhappiness of the little queen Li Xinru, which also makes this wave of discussions about the marriage of female stars in the entertainment industry more heated.
One’s own income is high, so of course one would be unwilling to marry at a low level. Those who marry at a high level, with similar age, financial resources and social status, are either in the same circle, or nine out of ten can only be sons of rich families, because the rich generation and others reach the same level. When reaching a certain height, age is often missed. Therefore, female stars seem to have unlimited beauty, but in terms of marriage happiness index, they may not even reach the general level of the country.
People in the circle join hands, for celebrities, it is often considered a better marriage, but those who marry into wealthy families often need to lower their social status and commit themselves to being concubines.
Of course, the happiest thing is to meet someone of the same age and talent, who may not be a match for the time being, but who has great potential for growth... But to be honest, it is too difficult.
…………
In mid-May, the Cannes Film Festival kicks off.
As the most prestigious and oldest of the three major European film festivals, although in recent years, with the overall decline of European films, its global influence is gradually being replaced by Oscars, but the artistic banner it holds high, The influence in the film industry is still very great. As the saying goes, "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", this year's Cannes Film Festival, as always, has a cloud of guests and bright stars.
This year's Cannes Film Festival, three domestic films were selected, which can be called a bumper harvest!
Among them, Wu He's new work "I'm a Good Man" was selected as the main competition unit, and he led his team to Cannes. For a while, this Wu He has made seven or eight films successively in the past ten years, but he has never won anything. The director who paid attention suddenly became a "new director" and was hailed by the media as one of the banners of the new generation of directors. Even, everyone has even seen the film "I am a good man", and it will not be until the film festival. There will be a premiere, but when the news of the nominations came, the film was instantly praised.
Moreover, as a graduate of the directing department of Huaxia Academy of Drama, Wu He's entry into Cannes has also been interpreted by many film critics as saying that after all these years of hard work and accumulation, Huaxia Academy of Drama will finally begin to produce heavyweight talents— —Among domestic directors born in the 60s, he is the first academic to be shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes.
Among the three domestic film and television art colleges, Shuntian Film Academy has been the highest institution at the palace level since its establishment, followed by Huaxia Theater Academy, and Songjiang Academy of Drama at the end.
However, the post-60s generation of directors at Suncheon Film Academy, that is, the generation who entered the school between 1978 and 1979 and 1977 and 1988, can be seen from the works that have been seen so far. There are quite a few directors, but so far there are no major directors, not even a promising one.
On the contrary, it is the post-70s generation, headed by Wu Han from the 89-level director department and Lu Ping from the 90-level director department. In recent years, many talents have emerged, especially Lu Ping from the 90-level director department. The leading figure is almost unanimously favored by the inside and outside the industry. This is the existence that can represent the highest strength of domestic films in the future.
Of course, if you insist on classification, Li Qian, who was born in 1978, can certainly be considered a post-70s director, but he currently only has one work, which is a TV series, and according to the industry's unanimous evaluation standards, TV series are purely commercial. The product, no matter how well shot it is, is far from the word "art"!
Among other things, if the movie is well shot, there are quite a few directors who are famous, but after decades of development, how many TV drama directors are famous? ——Li Qian is a special case. He was already very popular before he made a TV series or a director. As a director, he made a TV series, which is considered a crossover.
A movie is a work of art. Every shot of it, every performance of the actors, every note of the soundtrack, and even the editing, etc., can be played very artistically. A great director can even completely ignore the box office and shoot Works that break through the limits of human cognition and aesthetics can still become masters of a generation, but TV dramas, from the first day of their birth, have been rushing to the ratings!
Generally speaking, everyone agrees that a film director making a film is called "creation", while a TV director making a TV series can only be called "production". Or worse, "production."
Therefore, no matter how popular Li Qian is, no matter how good the filming of "Legend of the White Snake" is, in everyone's eyes, he is still not qualified to be included in the group of "domestic post-70s directors" - many serious newspapers have There have been horizontal reviews like this, but without exception, Li Qian was not considered at all.
To put it simply, the compulsion of TV drama directors and movie directors is not in the same dimension at all.
…………
The opening of the Cannes Film Festival and the shortlisting of three Chinese-language films instantly attracted the attention of many domestic media and fans, which also caused a slight decline in the domestic discussion of female celebrity marriage. Along with this, the complicated "little family" between Li Qian, Wang Jinglu, Liao Liao, and Zhou Mo finally began to slowly withdraw from the headlines of the entertainment sections of major newspapers.
However, whether the gossip is hot or cold, it doesn't seem to have much impact on Li Qian's solo debut album "First Experience of Love".
After the sales in the third week soared to the highest of more than 80,000 copies, in the fourth week of its release, the sales volume of this album in the Dongguan Bookstore channel declined slightly, but it still remained at an extremely high level - 73,619 copies !
Continue to be number one!
But this is not the most surprising thing. What is even more surprising is that, after stepping into the top ten and directly ranking fifth, the song "William Castle" is still continuing to exert its strength!
Another week later, when the Voice of China Radio announced the latest ranking of the Golden Melody On-Demand List, it surprisingly ranked third!
Only ranked below "The First Experience of Love" and "Jiangnan"!
If you pay attention to the investigation, you will find that perhaps for the vast majority of adult fans, it is indeed difficult to accept such a weird rap work, but in this May, "William Castle" and "India Two rap works such as Di'an Old Turtledove, together with works such as "The First Experience of Love", "Jiangnan" and "The First Time", have become the favorites of countless junior high school and high school students all over the country!
Constrained by their own age and ability, perhaps the support these fans can give this album at the moment is still limited. Many of them even secretly save a little from the meal money given by their parents to buy the album. Even if you buy albums, you have to buy them secretly, but there is no doubt that in just a few years, they will quickly grow into an extremely important part of the domestic music audience!
Even, they already are now.
…………
In May, "Super Girl" had finished auditions across the country, and the primary elections for the six major regions began immediately, but these competitions were not broadcast live until the top 20 were determined. At present, the preliminary competition is already in progress, but the weekly broadcast on HUNAN Satellite TV is still the live video of some contestants in the audition.
It is still so mixed, and it still shows the taste of "civilians", but after the freshness of the first few issues, the audience quickly discovered that those singers who sing out of tune occasionally listen to it, it's quite fun Coke, it's boring if it's always like this. It’s better to listen to capable contestants and sing good songs, then you’ll feel better—but it doesn’t matter, the video of the audition is only the first three episodes, and before everyone starts to hate it, the video editing of the primary election will take over up.
Of course, even when it was broadcast to the stage of the primary election, the ratings of this program were only above average. It only broke 10 in the second period, and then the trend was mediocre.
Seeing this trend of ratings, and thinking about how they invested so much in such a big way, not only the outside world, but other brother TV stations seem to be waiting to see a joke, or in other words, they want to wait to see the audition ahead. And after the primary election, how can Minghu Culture and Hunan Satellite TV boost such mediocre ratings? There are even discussions inside Hunan Satellite TV.
Fortunately, the current Tan Dezhang has basically controlled Hunan Satellite TV. Even if there are some disturbances, the sword of a moment will not affect the progress of the show.
And when most of May passed and the Cannes Film Festival ended successfully, the three films that had been shortlisted for the festival, even including "I Am a Good Man", which the domestic media placed high hopes on, could only come back empty-handed. When the media expressed their disappointment and expressed their inability to understand this year's Cannes, at the end of May, after two or three months of careful preparation, Minghu Culture's second TV series "Meteor Garden" officially started filming.
