Chapter 833 Confrontation in Person

"Just go up alone and share your experience..."

Xu Zheng answered: "Last time I shared my experience of watching "Yulu" at the art theater in Xiaoxitian...

I remember that the lamp that illuminated us was a stage lamp used in dramas. It illuminated people's faces and generated heat, like an oven! My sweat was pouring out like oil...it was so hot that I couldn't stand it anymore! "

""Yulu"?" "A documentary filmed by Jia Zhangke..."

Another documentary…

No wonder Lao Jia’s technique is not good. When you shoot a documentary, you must use a long lens, so keep using a long lens!

"Lao Jia, just do what a director should do all day long. Look at Zhang Yimou, he has launched two movies now..."

"Two parts?"

"Yes, "Big Buddha" and "The Convict of the Land" are scripts. "Big Buddha" is a script written by me, and "The Convict of the Lu Yanshi" is a script written by Yan Geling..."

""Big Buddha"...what is the plot?"

"It's just a murder case caused by a driving recorder...it's just a very literary film..."

Shen Xudong briefly talked about the plot of "Big Buddha". The male protagonist Awang is a garbage collector, and his friend Qiang Ge is the night guard of the factory. Both of them have no money and time is not valuable, so they decided to peek at the boss Huang Qiwen driving recorder to pass the time.

Then I glimpsed the world of the rich through the driving recorder, and also witnessed a murder...

The story didn't sound interesting, but Shen Xudong said: "I told him a concept, and director Zhang Yimou was immediately interested!"

"What concept?"

"The world of the poor is in black and white, while the world of the rich is in color..."

“Drawing out two different worlds through a dash cam?”

"Yes!"

Ning Hao nodded crazily: "No wonder...if it was me, I would take the photo."

"...You're not going to do "No Man's Land" anymore?"

Ning Hao glanced at Xu Zheng, and then said: "Here we are... I originally wanted Xu Zheng to lose 60 pounds, but he didn't do it... Then I'll find Zhu Yilong!"

Xu Zheng explained: "No, I will be filming "Modern Times" and "Meet the Father-in-law" soon... I must maintain my current body shape..."

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "...Zhu Yilong's acting skills are a bit raw...Let's try another one, look for Deng Chao or Zhang Yi..."

"I've already talked to Zhu Yilong..."

"Forget it, remember to grind hard..."

Xu Zheng interjected: "Is "囧囧" confirmed to be released in early December?"

"Well...on December 7th, and then "One Shot" on December 22nd...these two comedies dominate the Lunar New Year season!"

"But I heard that Feng Xiaogang's "1942" will also be released in December?"

"Come on, that movie is good, but... the plot is too miserable. No one will go to see it during the Chinese New Year..."

…

The Young Directors Symposium sounds very high-end and serious, but in fact it's just about showing off and promoting your own movies.

For example, Guan Hu said, ""Killing" is currently in post-production. I plan to work with Yang Yangshupeng's "The Man" instead of working alone. This is good for our film. In fact, we should have worked together a long time ago. Just because a Hollywood movie comes in doesn't mean you're dead. Nowadays, there's a bit too much emphasis on Hollywood blockbusters. ’

Then Yang Shupeng said, "We have to maintain the popularity of domestic films by ourselves! Are we not seeking death if we compete with Hollywood for industrial technology? The path I want to take is to make stylized commercial films."

This road is difficult to walk, but it must be walked. In fact, including Guan Hu and Zhang Yang, we are all doing this kind of thing.

The main reason is that the old directors in China have no bottom line. They always make those kind of costume blockbusters, one after another, and I almost collapsed after watching them.

Of course, I’m not saying you can’t take pictures, but at least you have to have something new. Look at what they filmed. It's a waste of money, not good-looking, and has no originality in aesthetics. If you want to film "Ran" and "Shadow Warrior" like those from abroad, it would be fine, but here, we just talk half-literally. , what does "I want to take your life" mean? "

Zhang Yang said: "Choose the May Day slot at the end of April. At least everyone's competition is healthy. We have not hurt or slandered, and there are no trolls to 'hack' each other. We can work together to retain movie fans and stick to the signature of domestic movies. This is Our shared mission.”

Speaking of which...it's pretty good.

It can be seen that these people still have confidence in their works.

Then Lu Chuan came out - there were rumors that "The King's Feast" was difficult to produce...

Because it cannot pass the trial...

That’s nonsense. A period film about a meal, what’s wrong with it?

Lu Chuan felt aggrieved: "Can we give Chinese movies and Hollywood blockbusters a starting line for fair competition? Why can we consume history, but cannot face history?"

"We were originally scheduled to release it on July 5, but now we can't. I heard it was to pave the way for a movie invested by China Film..."

Then he cried: "The producer has always given me the greatest support, and I once thought it was appropriate to use the producer's money. But this time filming "The King's Feast" was particularly touching. I learned a lot through this film. Things, I can no longer have a coquettish mentality. We are facing a steel giant now, and we must be strong. I will use an industrial method and not be coquettish to do the next drama..."

Shen Xudong was a little speechless and touched Xu Zheng's elbow: "He seems to cry every time!"

Xu Zheng nodded...not looking at him at all - a bunch of 'young directors' next to him were all staring at Shen Xudong.

Shen Xudong was thinking, too, Lu Chuan cried on different occasions - he had a bit of a performance certificate.

Ning Hao couldn't stand it anymore and whispered: "The movie released on July 5th, invested by China Film Group Corporation, doesn't it sound familiar to you?"

"…What the hell?"

"Our company's "Painted Skin 2"!"

Shen Xudong understood instantly: "What a fool! This guy is scolding me!"

Then the host Yin Hong glanced at Shen Xudong: "Director Shen, do you have anything to say?"

Shen Xudong held up his mirror frame: "...can I say it too?"

"...Aren't you prepared?"

"It's okay..." Shen Xudong stood up directly, took the microphone, and smiled: "When I was in school, there was a period of time when many media boasted about the director of "Looking for a Gun", saying that he was a young talent and a leading figure in Chinese directors. I picked up a CD and watched it... That's it? Is this thing also a youth leader? To be honest, I once doubted my ability to appreciate beautiful things... Later, I talked with the teacher, and the teacher said: 'This guy's movie Don't look at it, just two words: pretending!'"

"Actually, my understanding of pretense has always been quite positive. Art requires pretense, and Li Bai is quite good at it. Everyone goes to Lushan to play, and when they see the waterfall, they say, "Wow, what a big water." ", he was just pretending to be cool, but he wanted to say, "Flying down three thousand feet is like the Milky Way falling from the sky"!"

"Art is used to show off. It's not just art; any expression that can make a person slightly different from others, slightly more interesting, and slightly more unique is considered to be pretentious! "

"But showing off doesn't mean being awesome. If you think you're really awesome, you can spend your own money or borrow money to make a movie. Any loss or profit will be yours. Don't misappropriate investors' money. If you think If you are really good, you can take a video for yourself to watch. Don’t worry if others can’t understand it. Just close the door and watch it for yourself. You will be moved by watching it!

I cried for three days and three nights!

If you think you are artistic, go and win awards, don't do it for money. If you want to go the box office route, just serve the audience honestly. Going to the cinema now is just for entertainment, just for fun, not for education or improvement of art. grade!

The things in the Forbidden City have much higher taste than you do. Don’t always think that you are superior to the audience. If you can film Farewell My Concubine, I want to convince you once!

The question is, did you take the photo? The entire "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》Are you still standing from the perspective of the Japanese people? What's wrong, you're not Chinese?

It's not what you say but what you do that defines you as a person.

The same is true for directors. No matter how much we talk about other than his works, we don’t need to take him too seriously. What defines him is, in the final analysis, the works themselves. "

"In addition, "Painted Skin 2" was announced last year to be scheduled for July 5th. Can you tell me clearly, what obstacles have been cleared? Don't think that I don't know. Just say that I haven't finished the post-production before I finish it. Let's shoot a A movie costing more than 100 million yuan, and you still have a coquettish attitude? Is the investor your father?"

"You are still restoring history? Why do you say you are restoring history? After reading a few local stall novels, you dare to say that you face history seriously? Have you read "Hanshu"? How about we debate it?"
