The venue was not big and there was no auditorium. It was arranged like a living room. The three of them sat on the sofa, with Xie Nan sitting next to them.

The format of the program is as follows: each of the eight guests has a set piece of "explosive information" in their hands, and then asks the interviewee to explain...

"Let's start with Director Su!"

Da Zuo opened the note and showed it, it was: "Department of Electronic and Electric Power Engineering, China Agricultural University?"

Liu Qianqian looked at her in surprise, and Su Lun explained: "I am from Inner Mongolia. I have wanted to be in the film and television industry since I was a child. When I was admitted to university, I majored in electronic and electrical engineering..."

Xie Nan asked at the right time: "Why did you apply for the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering?"

"What I thought at the time was that as long as I could come to BJ, I would be exposed to movies!"

"But we were separated from each other, and all my classmates talked about was advanced mathematics. Disappointed, my friends and I formed a band, but who would have thought that there would be a bright future: the band's lead singer's music teacher happened to know the assistant director of Director Feng's crew

, and the assistant director is looking for an assistant.”

"Which play?"

""Big Shot"!"

"...When I heard it, I thought, wow! This is really the opportunity I have been looking for, and suddenly it appeared in front of me!"

"But if you want to join the cast, you need to take at least three months of leave. I asked the school for leave, but the school didn't approve it, so I dropped out and ran to the crew!"

"Drop out?"

Su Lun smiled: "What I was thinking at the time was that there are two kinds of happiness in life, one is to run forward desperately in the face of the unknown, and the other is to feel the passage of time comfortably in a small town. If I continue in school, after graduation,

Maybe when I returned to the power company in Inner Mongolia, I suddenly felt that I shouldn't be like this. Without discussing it with my family, I chose to drop out of school without hesitation and join the crew of "Big Shot". On the set, I became a "flying man" who was always on call.

";

Later, I filmed with several crews and applied for the Chinese Theater Directing Department; after graduation, I started shooting MV commercials..."

"Is it that simple? As far as we know, you dropped out of school in 2001 and entered the Chinese Opera in 2005. How did you spend the intervening four years?"

Su Lun recalled for a while, and then said: "While working as a bass player in a band and performing in various colleges and universities, I continued to work in the theater crew, living a poor but happy life with no food to eat...Beipiao!"

"Then how did Producer Shen know about her?"

Shen Changlin: "We first had the "Left Ear" project, and then we chose a director. She came for an interview and passed the test of Producer Li. Then I talked to her and we decided!"

"Then what is it about her that impresses you?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while and then said: "Actually, interviewing a director is very simple. If you ask her a few shooting questions, she can answer them and basically stop running away. Directors who have never been with the team and have no shooting experience can tell at a glance!

"

After a pause, he added an example: "I was looking for a director for "Xiuchundao: Battlefield of Shura". It was my first time as a producer, and it was my own series, so I met every interviewer.

However, there was a director who impressed me deeply. He wore black glasses, a black coat, black pants, and black shoes. His face was greasy and he had an unshaven beard... He calmed me down with the first sentence he opened his mouth. He said, 'I

Shen Lian can be made into a character who likes men deep down'..."

The entire audience was silent, and Xie Nan couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm sorry..."

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "I had the same reaction..."

"Then what next?"

"Then? I asked the staff to ask him to leave!"

…

This is not made up, it is true!

In fact, people come to Changlin Film and Television from time to time to recommend themselves. Most of them are literary films, literary films, and poverty dramas. They always put people on trial in desperate situations, showing the absurdity, profundity, rebellion, paradox, complexity and change of human nature, etc. etc., in order to convey profound philosophical thoughts...

But in China, you have to guarantee the lower limit. The problem is, once you guarantee the lower limit, the movie will not be so profound!

These scripts aren't that bad, but they aren't that good either...

Shen Changlin will not invest in such movies.

In addition to these, there are also some unique scripts. The one that left a deep impression on me is a script called "No Heirs Are Great": During the Anti-Japanese War, the farmer Ojiang cooked for the Japanese soldiers. One day he took Qiaochun, a girl from the same village, to the While playing in the artillery building, the two of them discovered an erotic painting, and a fire broke out at the first touch. Ojiang planned to set fire to the erotic painting, but ended up burning the Japanese soldiers and himself. Later, Qiaochun became pregnant, and she pretended to be a ghost. The parents finally agreed to let her give birth to the child...

Shen Changlin's eyes were filled with smoke while watching this. Isn't this also called a movie script?

There is also a synopsis of a movie called "Two and a Half": In a county in Henan, Xiao Jiao was kicked out by Teacher Lu during a competition in the ring and a pill was broken. He wanted revenge under the instigation of Yang Shengli, and one of Teacher Lu's pills was kicked out. His girlfriend was smashed. Xiao Jiao’s men continued to plan for Teacher Lu’s cream pills, but by mistake, Yang Shengli was castrated...

Do you think he is a fool?

Do you dare to submit this kind of script?

…

The show continued. After the opening, the main conversation was about Liu Qianqian, after all, she is famous now!

Baidu Feidian Entertainment Star in 2008, Sogou Female Star of the Year in 2009...

Let’s put it this way, Liu Qianqian’s sticker at the school entrance is 20 cents more expensive than other stickers, but it is still the best-selling one!

They all asked about things during the filming...

Liu Qianqian answered one by one.

"Is the character Li Yi really based on Liu Qianqian?"

Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was being asked, and nodded: "...Almost, the female star that everyone in our class liked at the time was Liu Qianqian, and I referenced the image of 'Zhao Ling'er' when I wrote..."

"We know that Producer Shen is a fan of Sword and Fairy, so why not cast Brother Hu to star in "Left Ear"?"

"He... is not of the right age, and Lao Hu is busy transforming," Shen Changlin added: "The male lead in "The Thing in the Palm" directed by Xue Xiaolu is the image he wants to challenge..."

Liu Qianqian interjected: "It will be broadcast on the 15th, please support me!"

Xie Nan asked in surprise: "...you also appeared in the show?"

"No...but I know the show!"

"Okay, next question!" Xie Nan asked the last guest to lift the question board, which read: "The success of "Left Ear" has nothing to do with the movie? This..."

Su Lun's expression changed, and Shen Changlin waved his hand: "The person who said this can tell at a glance that he has not studied the film market!"

"The Left Ear is a very typical fan movie!"

"Fan movie?"

"Let me give you an example, and you will understand. "Twilight" is a typical fan movie~"

"Everyone knows that "Twilight" is a best-seller, but this movie project is still very dramatic. The manuscript of the "Twilight" novel once stayed on the desk of Paramount for 6 months, but Even though I wasn't interested in it, they thought the vampire theme was cliché and the story was retarded. It was a bad project that no one wanted to do.

The producers pitched it around, including 20th Century Fox, only to be rejected again. No one thought the film would be successful.

If someone from the Big Six in Hollywood is interested in "Twilight," where will Summit Entertainment get the chance to film it?"

"But they didn't understand how many fans there were of "Twilight"! When the movie was planned, the first novel of "Twilight" was on the New York Times bestseller list for 152 weeks and had sold 10 million copies. Countless girls are looking forward to it."

"Then the movie was released and took in a box office of US$69 million in the first weekend. The second film "New Moon" was even better, with a box office of US$73 million on the first day..."

"I think this model can be copied. Therefore, when choosing the roles for "Left Ear", we fully considered the opinions of netizens and fans. Little Ear chose Liu Qianqian, Li Bala chose Yang Xiaomi, and Xu Yi Li Yifeng, apart from Chen Xiao, Zhang Yang was chosen by me..."

"Why?"

"I had already filmed "Big Shot" at that time, and I knew Chen Xiao's abilities. It was so easy for him to play Zhang Yang!"

The whole audience was stunned. Is there such a way?

Su Lun suddenly asked: "What about the director's role?"

Shen Changlin smiled: "The director's role is to present the story more reasonably. You also know that if "The Left Ear" were filmed according to the original work, it would be impossible for a character like Zhang Yang to resonate with the audience. He would be a scumbag... If not If Director Su changes it, I guess "Left Ear" will be scolded for being a bad child!"

"So...is a fan movie a movie?"

Shen Changlin nodded, and then said: "Of course! Movies, especially commercial movies, have all the attributes of commodities. Some sell stories, some sell feelings, some sell special effects, some sell original works, and some sell idols.
