Chapter 17 "Face to Face"

Chen Jing has different opinions...

This year’s situation is special. Hollywood’s share of imported films has doubled. Under this premise, of course we need to do more road shows!

In addition to building good relationships with theaters, road shows also value returns from the media.

Inviting celebrities to cross-border discussions is really effective.

The media will look at the situation and report on it, and if there are any breaking points, they will be put on the front page.

Chen Jing continued: "This time we invited Luo Yonghao, Ma Dong, Cui Yongyuan, Han Han and Guo Jingming!"

Shen Changlin was surprised and asked: "Did they agree to go on stage at the same time?"

Chen Jing miraculously knew which two he was talking about, and shook her head: "That's not true..."

"Then kick Guo Jingming away, I have nothing to do with him!"

"Then who will replace Chengdu Station? A famous person from Sichuan...how about we ask Li Yuchun?"

Shen Changlin rolled his eyes: "Not to mention that she has nothing to do with us, do you think she will come if you look for her?"

Chen Jing spread her hands: "Then who do you want to find?"

Shen Changlin pondered for a while: "You don't have to be a celebrity. I like Dou Wentao quite a lot. Let's add him!"

"Wen Tao... okay, I'll send out the invitation!"



The program team arranged by CCTV this time is still "Face to Face"...

It’s just that the host was changed to Dong Qian...

It’s not a prejudice, but Shen Changlin really doesn’t have a good impression of Yangma’s host.

He has such a high-minded character that he refuses to eat the fireworks of the world, but is also extremely embarrassing and sensational!

Except for Sabei Ning...

This is inherited, and it has been like this since Aunt Ni: Old mother, although you lost your son, he sacrificed his life for the people. How do you feel at this moment?

How can she feel? Have you ever had a son die?

Do you feel cold-blooded?

In fact, this is a news report, interviewing children with leukemia, and the details are: 'What do their parents think? Seeing the smiling faces of the children, how do the parents feel? What about the treatment expenses for the child's disease?'

To rub salt into the wound?

Audiences love watching this!

Fortunately, Shen Changlin was only doing a movie interview this time.

Still under the shit-yellow light, Shen Changlin sat opposite Dong Qian, first said hello, and then got to the point: "Berlin won the award, do you feel any different?"

"I feel okay, the main team is very happy..."

"Berlin Film Festival, is it okay?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while and then said: "I am not the kind of director who pursues pure art. The narrative method of "Search" is also commercial. We only went there after receiving an invitation from the Berlin Film Festival. We didn't apply for it ourselves. I hope to win the award, and it is an unexpected surprise to win it, but it also makes it difficult to do domestic publicity!"

"It's not easy to do?"

"Due to the inherent influence of the public, the films that win awards at European film festivals are all of the obscure type..."

In fact, Shen Changlin wanted to say something 'on the sidelines', but this is CCTV and there are many things that cannot be said directly.

Back then, pirated copies of the Sixth Generation's works were sold in China, and people who bought them did so because the covers were more exciting...

"Are you worried that the audience won't accept it?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "Yes! Let alone the audience, even if I hear about a movie that won an award, I will subconsciously feel that the movie has little to do with me and I won't watch it!"

"Why does this happen?"

"When it comes to our predicament, the three major international film festivals in Europe and the Oscars in Hollywood constitute two extreme mirror images of how Chinese films perceive themselves. They completely constitute the image of what Chinese films imagine. international, and the internal divisions of this international are precisely the internal divisions of Chinese films themselves.”

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"We are pursuing the industrialization of film. We advertise the American film market, but European films promote art. Market and art are two things that seem to be parallel lines..."

"But there are also many art films in the United States!"

"Yeah, but they don't do well at the box office!"

Dong Qian paused for a moment, then half-smiled: "I realize you attach great importance to the box office!"

"Of course, the box office represents the audience's approval. I always believe that movies, as the seventh art, are because of the audience's acceptance."

After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "Especially this year, the number of imported Hollywood films has doubled. As a Chinese filmmaker, of course we have to fight back. The box office data is the most intuitive!"

Dong Qian cast her eyes over her glasses, reflecting a ray of wisdom: "I don't quite understand why people are so resistant to Hollywood. As an audience, I think it's a good thing that more good movies are released."

"Then go ask those film festivals why they divide films according to country names!"



There is a group of people who feel that "Chinese movies" and "X country movies" are political concepts.

They feel that the world only needs one film center, the United States.

If you have the ability, go to Hollywood. If you can withstand the test of Hollywood, you can go out into the world. If you can't stand it, come back.

Another example is Cameron. If he had still stayed in Canada, he might still be a truck driver now...

These people either don’t understand movies, or they have other motives~

Because this perspective can be grafted into any field!

Movies are a high degree of cultural condensation. Except for the strong United States, it is still difficult to reject this concept at the government level in other countries. This is not an isolated case in China. France and South Korea have also spared no effort to support their own film industries!

Speaking more broadly, as long as the differences in geographical climate and environment exist, cultural differences will continue, and the concepts of "Chinese movies" and "American movies" will also always exist...



The topic shifted to "Search".

"What kind of movie is Searching?"

"Telling how online violence and human flesh search can destroy a person!"

"Cyber ​​violence?"

"Um!"

"How did you come up with this subject?"

"I have always liked Lu Xun. I think the elements of Internet violence are very similar to steamed buns dipped in human blood, but now the human blood steamed buns have disappeared, replaced by more keyboards, cameras, and twisted souls hidden behind the screen. They Regardless of the truth of the matter, I just want to immerse myself in my own world and enjoy the pleasure of the moral high ground!"

"Is there anything impressive about it?"

"Yes, for example, let's take the incident of a security guard beating a dog. It was a wild dog. A security guard beat a wild dog that might bite. He didn't kill anyone or set a fire. He just did his job, and then he was raped online. Asking for his dismissal... seems a bit excessive!"

"So have you ever had this experience?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I didn't, but I found that many times the media reports were very one-sided. For example, when promoting my last movie "Big Shot", I emphasized more than once that this movie was my proactive choice to express a Jackie Chan-style comedy. method, but the reports are still subject to censorship restrictions..."

Dong Qian: "Are you very distressed?"

"It's not a worry. I know some people will be interested in such a report. After all, censorship is now a scapegoat. No matter what movie you make, if it's not good, you can blame it on the censors! And the audience is happy to accept this statement. !”

"Has anyone scolded you online?"
