Chapter 3 Amou
What to talk about when we meet?
Just talk about some polite words such as admiring you and admiring you for a long time...
Do you start flirting as soon as you come up?
Are you kidding, that's Zhang Yuqi!
Not to mention whether you can seduce her or not, the key point is that if you do something that doesn't suit her... they will chop her with a knife.
Moreover, it can be said that being an artist is a high-risk profession, and the IQ and EQ are not very high.
Shen Changlin has no interest in getting in touch with people who don't have high business intelligence...
After a brief chat, we went into the screening room to watch a movie.
Of course Shen Changlin has watched "The Thirteen Hairpins", the plot is very simple, it is a redemption movie similar to "Schindler's List", the one who saves people is an American priest, and by the way, a businesswoman also knows the hatred of the country's subjugation. This hatred has nothing to do with the plot of Wind and Moon.
A memory from a previous life!
However, when I watched it again this time, I was a little surprised.
Ah Mou's use of light and shadow is really amazing. If we talk about the cold tones in the opening scene, any qualified director can think of it, and then the use of stained glass is a masterpiece.
When Thirteen Chai steps into the church door, the female students secretly peek through the glass. The view of them entering through the stained glass shows the most beautiful aspect of the film.
Dignified and gorgeous yet coquettish, it looks heroic in the light!
This implies that these women are not as gloomy and lowly as people usually think of them, but will have a stunning and great experience and live out their lives with brilliance!
By the way, this scene of refraction through glass was later used in "The Great Wall"...
——In the final battle of "The Great Wall", in the five-color glazed tower and the colorful holy light, the actor's face looked very livid.
In the end, the Qinhuaihe woman's behavior of dying for the female student is the climax of the movie, and it is also the process of gradually fleshing out the images of these characters who initially only had facial makeup...
Shen Changlin shed tears unconsciously!
I can't help it, it's too sensational.
…
After "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" debuted in Berlin, the media received mixed reviews.
Cine-vue, a well-known British film review website, believes that this is a beautiful and touching movie, and praised the actors very much, saying, "The actors are really great, but Bale is even better."
"Director Zhang's use of color this time is obviously much more restrained than in his earlier works. However, the beauty is not diminished at all, but is more detailed and shocking!"
However, some media said: "The characters are too exaggerated, and they are either very good or very bad."
They know too little about the war of aggression against China!
After watching the movie, Shen Changlin didn't feel cyan at all, but suddenly thought of the "cyan" that a bunch of professors criticized, and he was really speechless!
Especially Professor Xiao Ying from Tsinghua University... Well, when I think of Tsinghua University, I immediately understand.
Then why don’t you scold Ah Mou!
Ah Mou is really someone who is disliked by everyone.
"Alive" was well-received, and some people criticized it and exposed its scars;
"No One Can Be Less" focuses on education, and some people try to beautify the country;
"Hero" launched the commercialization model of Chinese-language films, and some people made money from the film, and then turned around and bit back;
Even though "Above the Cliff" was innovative again, some people ridiculed that the talent was exhausted.
Sometimes, when I think about the words to be scolded, I don’t have to think twice. After a second glance, I know that I can’t stand it. Filming bad habits and winning awards is not art, and making commercial films is like giving up art.
So what is the art of giving up? Isn’t it the so-called bad habit criticized by those people?
Conflicting arguments and arguments are not rigorously labeled.
"Red Sorghum", "Speak Well", "Hero", "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "Above the Cliff" are all different types of movies.
Why is Amou able to make so many different types of movies? He is already seventy years old and yet he has not yet retired to take care of his old age. With his achievements, he can be praised as a god.
Because he loves movies and doesn’t want to leave movies, because he never fights an unprepared battle. He seems to seize the opportunity every time, but in fact he is fully prepared every time.
Extremely talented and extremely hardworking.
Some people are really awesome!
They know everything, are down-to-earth and serious, and are destined to succeed in whatever they do;
Some people brag about their awesomeness...
Each play lists its own classic works, but they are not allowed to tell the truth, and they are not allowed to hear the slightest objection;
There are also some people, even if they are all boasting about the draft, they are not awesome enough!
…
In the hotel, Shen Changlin found Amou, shook hands, and the two sat down: "Director...how many times has this been your visit to Berlin?"
Shen Changlin respects A Mou very much. If it were another director, he would definitely ask, "How did the film sell?"
But if you ask, it will definitely involve Zhang Weiping!
Ah Mou is now annoying Zhang Weiping.
Put yourself in your shoes, your partner is trying to hype you up all day long, and he also tries to interfere with your creative freedom...
Then, when it comes to penny, he pretends to be stupid...
The money I made after ten years of co-production was less than the money I earned from shooting an advertisement.
That’s not all. Ask him to help you apply for a household registration for your child. He can’t even handle such a trivial matter, but he still talks to you about it!
Then, the biological child of the great Olympic director went into hiding and worked as a gangster for decades!
Normal people would choose to break up the partnership.
Ah Mou smiled with wrinkles all over his face: "I don't remember... Is this your first time here?"
Shen Changlin nodded: "Yes..."
"Search?"
"...Have you seen it?"
"The filming is very good, and the story angle is very novel!"
"It's just criticizing rumors, but it's not novel enough..."
"That's pretty good. Your entry point is cyber violence..."
After just a few words of chatting, Shen Changlin had not yet entered the topic - talking about his whereabouts after leaving Zhang Weiping, a reporter wearing glasses came over with a smile on his face: "Two directors, I am from the 'Time Network' Reporter, could you please delay for a moment?"
"...I have something going on here."
"Just one question!"
Shen Changlin glanced at Ah Mou, and then said: "...Okay, just one question!"
Journalists are also very pitiful. They travel all over the world just to write articles...
It’s all work, understand it!
"Your judgment on "Search" winning the award..."
"Almost zero!"
"Why?"
"I use a multi-line narrative commercial filmmaking method, and the theme looks very heavy, but the story telling method is very popular... and the choice of subject matter is a bit ordinary!"
"Normal...what do you mean?"
Ah Mou was also interested: "I think it's very typical, human flesh search, cyber violence..."
After thinking for a while, Shen Changlin said: "Let me tell you this, I read Gustave Le Pen's "The Crowd" in 2009, and then, not long after, the Xia Junfeng incident happened..."
The reporter understood instantly, but Shen Changlin changed the subject: "The public opinion at that time was terrible. They were all speaking for him, but he is a murderer!"
"I think something is wrong. When the spotlight is on the murderer, we tend to ignore the pain of the victim...
At that time, there was a novel called "Please Forgive Me" on the Internet. A classmate recommended that I read it. The theme was to ridicule online violence. After reading it, I read "The Crowd" again - When people come into groups In the middle, the IQ is seriously reduced. In order to gain recognition, individuals are willing to abandon right and wrong and use their IQ to exchange for a sense of belonging that makes people feel safer..."
Speaking of this, Shen Changlin smiled: "Look, if I had decided to film the Xia Incident from the beginning, I would have had a higher chance of winning an award, but I would definitely not have passed the review! So, I planned to make "Please Forgive Me," This was the first movie I decided on!”
"Don't you think it's a pity?"
Hearing this question, Shen Changlin looked at Ah Mou, who smiled and answered: "Chinese directors are often criticized for not being that profound in their works. I think the critics just stand up and talk without hurting their backs. You don't Do you know the reason? Can Chinese directors blindly pursue profundity? What they can do is very limited. There are many things that everyone knows in their hearts. You cannot turn a blind eye. You should compare horizontally among similar people."
The reporter changed the question: "Why did you make "Xiu Chun Dao" in the middle?"
"I have to become famous first. Otherwise, who will invest in the new director on the theme of "Search"? Moreover, mature actors will not choose a new director..."
"Then can you comment on "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling"?"
Shen Changlin pretended to be surprised: "In front of the director, you want me to evaluate?"
Chapter completed!
