At seven o'clock in the morning, Yang Xiaomi was woken up by her mobile phone and connected...

It was her agent Zhao Ruoyao who called her and asked about her situation. Yang Xiaomi was about to answer when she suddenly felt her throat was a little hoarse. There happened to be a glass of water on the bedside table, so she picked it up and drank it in one gulp: "I'll go back to the set tomorrow... it went well. !”

"Well, I got the role... I'll tell you after we meet!"

"Ask my assistant to pick me up right away...bring me a new set of underwear by the way...when you're done with it, don't pick up the ones you have and hang up first!"

Well, I have equipped three sets of clothing, which I originally planned to use for two days. Shen Changlin has to leave for Boston today...

In one night, he used them all!

Yawning, she was still a little sleepy, but she still picked up her phone and sent Shen Changlin a message, 'Where are you?'

"Airport...you woke up so soon? Why don't you get some sleep?"

"...I won't sleep anymore. It's rare that I still have a day off...I'm going to go visit Shi Shi!"

"Is there something wrong with you? Why should you ask her to visit you?"

"Let's talk to her about her man's size and stuff..."

"Don't be shy... I'm telling you, Shi Shi doesn't know anything, don't provoke her, and I can't even handle it if she gets angry!"

"...I understand, that's it, go and film your movie!"

Yang Xiaomi raised the corners of her mouth and pulled back the quilt. She was going to take a shower first and then show off.

…

The movie is still being released, but Shen Changlin, as the director, actually left...

It doesn’t matter whether he is suitable or not, he is the boss and has the right to be willful!

But he still made an appointment with "People" for an exclusive interview. On the plane, the person interviewing him was Zhang Han, the editor-in-chief of "People" magazine. Zhang Han used to be a reporter for the Beijing News, and later reported on "Master Wang Lin" and disclosed by the way Master Wang’s relationship with many celebrities...

Then I was transferred to "People" magazine...

When the two met, they first talked about Qigong.

Zhang Han concluded: "Why so many celebrities believe in Qigong masters? I think it may be that the mainland's years of management policies on religion and spirituality have caused most people to lack religious belief.

Especially when celebrities quickly become wealthy and feel spiritually empty and helpless, Qigong masters appear as a new religious alternative. This is probably similar to how they welcomed the Buddha's bones hundreds of years ago!"

"I agree very much. Inouesha once said: When a country is in a closed state, there must be three fevers: language fever, history fever, and health fever. Qigong can be regarded as fitness fever, right?"

"Yes, forget it. In fact, I have also met real masters. When I chatted with them, I found that what they were most worried about was not that others would doubt whether they were masters, but that they were afraid of being seen as masters!"

Shen Changlin immediately asked with interest: "Yan Xin or Zhang Baosheng?"

"...aren't those two already cracked down?"

Yan Xin, Zhang Baosheng is indeed a real person, that's why these people appear in "The King of Gamblers" and "The Saint of Gamblers"!

"Then who are you talking about?"

"No one... In fact, the qigong craze back then was promoted by scientists like Zhang Zhen and Mr. Qian..."

"No way?"

"...Newton finally converted to theology. How is it possible? When did you buy this private jet?"

"Last year... major civil aviation flights were generally fixed. Even if you have something urgent, you still have to wait for the flight. I am impatient, so I simply bought a private jet and rented it to the company..."

"Aren't you worried about others saying you're showing off your wealth?"

"Buying a private jet is not news now, is it? I know many celebrities have private jets!"

Stop the chatter and get to the point.

"The market has changed too fast in the past few years. Everyone is chasing the box office and talking about business. Few people talk about whose film skills are better or who is more creative! The box office continues to become popular, from 1 billion to 2 billion. I It is estimated that there will be 5 billion works soon. Capital hopes to create miracles and let the movies be organized and produced in the same way. But shouldn’t art pursue individuality? As a result, we directors have to make some market-oriented films. works…”

"You were pushed away too?"

"Pretty much, I've been anxious for a while, but fortunately I have my own film company, and there are many movies that I know will be big hits. I don't want to make them, but I can find a suitable director to direct them!"

"Did you want to film the scene "The Treasure Hunt" yourself?"

"...How can I put it this way? Actually, after finishing "The Thieves", I am not that interested in "Treasure Hunters" anymore. I think what keeps me going is the co-production between China and South Korea. I want to know what Korean actors have to do with us." What’s the difference…”

"Is there a difference?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while, and then said: "...Actually, top actors, no matter which country you are from, their professionalism and acting skills are all about the same..."

"You mean Jun Ji-hyun?"

"I'm talking about Lee Jung Jae. I saw him in "The Observer". He was so majestic. He used to play pure love movies... He can really handle any genre!"

It is indeed a pure love movie debut "Untouchable Lover", "Pure Love Score", "The Gift"...

…

Since it is "People" magazine, I must talk about Shen Changlin's many personal opinions.

The most common thing surrounding Shen Changlin is his views on the film market.

Shen Changlin didn't say anything - the market is booming, and there's no point in pouring cold water on it. Just like what Li Min said at the Shanghai International Film Festival, 'To put it bluntly, there are no very good films in mainland China, only very popular films.' …

Many people argue, is the United States better than the Chinese market? How is Twilight more profound than Little Times?

So, don’t criticize the market, no matter who it is, they are not qualified!

"Don't believe some bad movie directors who boast that domestic audiences don't need good movies. This is nonsense. It may be difficult for most viewers to make an accurate analysis of the quality of the film itself, but their intuitive taste is still Yes. This is the same as stock trading. During the bull market bubble, you can make money by buying any stock, but when the bear market comes, you will know who has no awareness of risk prevention."

"Anyway, I really appreciate Buffett's words: When the tide goes out, you will find out who is swimming with bare buttocks."

"The audience's aesthetic... matures very quickly and will exceed your imagination..."

"What I'm most worried about now is that the fireworks in my works have decreased. To be honest, I feel that I am far away from the life of "little people", and it is difficult to have a way to contact and feel the joys, anger, and sorrow of little people... Therefore, in the past few years, All of his works tend to be conceptual genre films..."

"Many people feel that your movies are not as profound as before. Do you feel that way?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "But I think there is no point in being profound. It is too easy to criticize. If you say that the house is not well decorated or find faults, it can be done by one person. If you say that you have installed it well, a hundred people will disappear. There needs to be someone who can do it well."

"I really envy Director Hong Sang-soo! It's not that I envy his works or anything else, but I envy him as a person." After a pause, Shen Changlin explained: "His works are quite experimental, with exquisite structures and high artistic attainments. Yes, what I envy is that the cost of most of his works is only a few hundred thousand, and the shooting cycle is also very short. You can make a profit just by participating in a film festival!"

"You can do this too!"

"It's impossible... I am now a flag bearer for domestic commercial films, and I cannot be irresponsible in what I do... Wait a few years, and when I don't care about the evaluation at all, I should be able to shoot as I please!"

…

Here, Shen Changlin and Zhang Han chatted for nearly 12 hours. Huairou and Yang Xiaomi really came to visit Shi Shi.

And I brought something with me...

"Your favorite spicy duck neck! I went to the Haha Mirror on Guijie Street to buy it for you!"

Shi Shi's eyes lit up, he took the lunch box, opened it, and it turned out to be a whole box of duck necks. He picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth: "...Thank you, I haven't eaten for a long time!"

Yang Xiaomi felt a little strange: "It's been a long time since you've eaten?"

"Chang Lin won't let me eat it... He said that eating it will cause stomachache. I have been eating it for more than ten years and my stomach is not bad!"

"He...he cares about you!"

"He's just worrying...are you going to eat?"

"I don't want to eat..." Yang Xiaomi suddenly said: "By the way, Chang Lin called me and asked me to star in the sequel to "The Treasure Hunt"!"

"Really?" Shi Shi didn't take it seriously: "...That's good. This drama is a popular IP, and the sequel will definitely be a hit!"

"Aren't you interested?"

"Me? I've read the script... It seems that Liu Qianqian was originally chosen for this role, right?"
