Chapter 117: Film Selection

With Shen Changlin's current popularity, any interview he accepts has a purpose!

At this point in time, of course, it is to promote the movie.

Otherwise, why would people accept your interview?

Do you really think he is very idle?

After chatting about these personal matters, we finally came to the topic of "Xiu Chun Dao" which is currently being screened: "What is your true evaluation of "Shura Battlefield"?"

"It's good. The protagonist is actually Lu Wenzhao. Shen Lian and Lu Wenzhao are both survivors of the Sarshushura battlefield. After experiencing nine deaths, they chose different attitudes towards life. Lu Wenzhao had a clear goal, surrendered to King Xin, and used Change the situation of the government in his own way. Shen Lian is still just a small person, doing things according to the leadership's arrangements.

I think people still have to have some pursuits, even if they sacrifice their lives for justice, they still speak out for the right path in the world."

"Are you satisfied with the current box office?"

"It's okay. In fact, when I make movies, the standard for commercial films is not to lose money. "Shura Battlefield" not only completed this task, but also has a good reputation. The third film can be approved!"

"Who will direct the third part?"

"It's up to Lu Yang to think of a way. If he's interested, let him continue directing. If he's not interested, then find another director!"

"The Legend of White Snake, what do you think?"

"I won't comment anymore. After all, it is being released. I have my own position. It is inappropriate to comment on competitors at this time!"

It is indeed inappropriate, and he is not the only one who criticized "White Snake"!



The influence of "Sanlian Life Weekly" is just that...

Print media has long since declined!

In fact, with the arrival of the mobile Internet era, the role of Weibo has been maximized, and no platform can compete with it in terms of information dissemination capabilities!

Otherwise, even if a celebrity announces their divorce and writes a short essay, they will not choose to publish it on Weibo.

The main reason why Shen Changlin accepted this interview was to sell well - although print media has declined, the circle behind them is still there, and the brand value of "Sanlian" is still very high.

After the interview, Shen Changlin asked the staff to send Wang Xiaofeng away and returned to his room.

He had to think about the filming of "Search"!

The movie "Search" does not require skills, it only requires objective description. There is no need to tell who is the evil guy and who is the good guy...

All the characters in this movie, in their thinking programs, no one is completely wrong or extremely sinful!

To a certain extent, journalists and media reports are normal operations, just for work and survival.

In order for Chen Ruoxi to buy a house and live a good life with her little boyfriend, Jiaqi, a motivated intern, is also full of ideals and pursuits, and has unlimited enthusiasm and drive for work;

As a business tycoon, Chen Liushu also brings the means and magnanimity that belong to this status.

He is hypocritical and indifferent, proud and ruthless, possessing many years of scheming and indifference. His attitude towards his subordinates, wives and women is completely normal for a person of this status.

Those melon-eating people who add fuel to the fire and throw cauliflower into the fire look at others with a mentality of curiosity, scrutiny, guidance, and hatred of the rich...

It’s normal, just eating melon!

Therefore, Ye Lanqiu is beautiful because she is the target of public criticism, and her love with Yang Shoucheng is also extraordinary and a strange relationship.

Everyone was involved in the turmoil and had their own agenda. Only the two of them were either innocent or detached, like outsiders.

The whole work uses Ye Lanqiu as a person to express the four words "people's words are frightening".

But at the end, Shen Changlin changed it. After Ye Lanqiu jumped from the building, he received a notice from the hospital: misdiagnosis...

It’s even more disappointing!

This movie is destined to not be too high at the box office because there is no room for the audience to vent their emotions...

But it's definitely a good movie.



It is said that Shen Changlin's path to success is completely different from that of the sixth generation, who first became popular at major film festivals around the world.

For example, Zhang Yuan directed "Going Home for the New Year", for which he won the Best Director Award at the 56th Venice Film Festival.

The 2001 film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, "17 Years Old Bicycle", won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Wang Quan'an, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yang, Lou Ye, etc. have all won many awards internationally...

As a result, many domestic movie fans say that they are blooming inside and fragrant outside.

But in recent years, with the expansion of the mainland market, the sixth generation has not been favored by capital and audiences. Their movies...are not good-looking!

In contrast, the new generation of directors are more concerned about whether the movie can be a hit.

It's normal. After marketization, this kind of thing will inevitably happen.

The question is, what should we do with these overseas film festivals?

How to expand your influence?

They need new agents!

In fact, overseas film festivals are also paying close attention to Shen Changlin. After all, the Chinese film market is developing rapidly and has become the fourth largest market in the world. Shen Changlin's "Big Shot" has a box office of 800 million yuan, which is very shocking.

"Search" is a realism genre, and this genre is naturally suitable for winning awards.

When the film project was first approved, Berlin Film Festival film selector Wang Qingqiang knew about the film!

Wang Qingqiang was the one who brought "Incense" to the Berlin Film Festival.

He has always paid close attention to mainland filmmakers, and naturally he also noticed Shen Changlin...

However, this year he mainly recommended Wang Quan'an's "White Deer Plain". Although he paid attention to "Search", he only made a phone call to ask about it.

He felt that there might not be enough time. After all, the Berlin Film Festival usually opens in February, and "Search" only started shooting in mid-October...

Generally, a movie takes half a year from the start of filming to the completion of post-production.

But when he reported this matter to Berlin Film Festival Artistic Director Dieter Koslick, the latter asked him to bring Shen Changlin’s works!

Shen Changlin is a leading figure in the new generation of Chinese-language films, everyone can see it!

Berlin Film Festival needs Shen Changlin...

Then Wang Qingqiang contacted Li Xiaoping, hoping to meet Shen Changlin...

When he arrived in Ningbo, Shen Changlin was chatting with Han Qiming about the market performance of "Xiu Chun Dao 2" - in the seven days of National Day, "Shura Battlefield" took in 150 million box office, while "The Legend of White Snake" only had 72 million...

Double kill!

Shen Changlin is very satisfied with this result, and the distributor Guangwang also thinks this data is good - it exceeded 100 million in the first weekend, and it took 150 million in seven days during the National Day release. After ten days of release, the cumulative box office was 250 million, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds 300 million!

Judging from the box office trend, 400 million is not without hope.

Compared with the first "Embroidered Spring Knife", the box office has increased significantly. Of course, the cost has increased by 20 million, but during the promotion, there were many brand implants. After all, the profit is still higher than that of "Embroidered Spring Knife" Want more!

Especially dominating the National Day stalls.

Since its establishment, this is the first time that Light Cinema has dominated the National Day schedule.

When chatting in private, Shen Changlin didn't have too many scruples. He didn't need to hide his complaints about "The Legend of White Snake".

"I saw a comment on the Internet that said, 'The white snake played by Zhao Yazhi came from heaven to the earth, and the white snake played by Huang Shengyi came from the sky and the earth.' This comment is really classic!!"
Chapter completed!
