Chapter 63 Interview (4/5)

He thinks a little too much...

Yi Lijing's interviews are also divided into people. She is not like Lu Yu. No matter who you are, she has the same attitude - she likes to ignore you!

When she and Chen Peisi were face to face, she deliberately leaned forward and appeared to be listening patiently.

When talking to other guests, she always leaned back, clearly assuming a posture of interrogating the other party.

Hold a pen in your hand and record the negative comments of the other party.

Does she dare to remember Shen Changlin's negative comments?

Well, actually there are…

Her first point is that Shen Changlin's efficiency is too fast...

"Whether it's movie fans or film critics, they always think you can go further and leave a few classics..."

"They think too much. No more masterpieces will be produced in this era!"

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "And my cycle is very normal, basically more than 60 days... For me, 60 days is completely enough!"

"But many movies, such as "The Godfather" took half a year to shoot..."

Shen Changlin interrupted her: ""Once Upon a Time in America" ​​only took 47 days! I think to evaluate a movie, you only need to evaluate the movie itself, and you don't need to know the story behind the scenes..."

"Do you think the quality of a movie has nothing to do with the length of the shooting cycle?"

"Of course..." After thinking for a while, Shen Changlin added: "No director wants to make a bad movie. Even in many cases, if a director thinks his movie is not good, it is because of the technical aspects. For example, the special effects are not good enough. The sound was not good... In terms of expressing the film’s intention, absolutely no director thinks that what he is making is a bad film.”

"Where's Wang Jing?"

"Wang Jing thinks his movies are very good entertainment movies! Moreover, do you think he doesn't know that making good movies will make him a lot of money, and that making bad movies will end his career prematurely?

The peak period of creation is over!

His talents are limited and overdrawn, coupled with outdated concepts and outdated techniques, he has long been abandoned outside the mainstream of the times. Therefore, I feel that movies like "Macau" should not be released during such a big period as the Spring Festival!"

"Why?"

"The Spring Festival is the most important time of the year. It is necessary to release works that best reflect the quality of Chinese-language films. We have taken out the bottom of the box. You use a crap like "Macau 3"? I can't do it in Donghui I think "Macau 3" is a good movie!"

Yi Lijing changed the subject: "Then what do you think movies are to you?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while and said: "I talked to Ah Mou about this issue... For him, movies have never been an ideal thing. They are a tool for him to get rid of his identity and rise from the bottom to become a world-renowned director... He I am very grateful to the movie...so, I sincerely look forward to it..."

"What about you?"

"Making movies is my hobby and my job...I can't imagine what I can do without making movies."

"Keep writing?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "The satisfaction that writing brings me is far less than that of making a movie!"



After talking about this, Yi Lijing suddenly asked: "What do you think about love?"

"Love?" Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment, then said: "Shi Shi and I have been together for almost six years, and our relationship has long since turned from love to family... I can't live without her, and she can't live without me. !”

"Then why haven't you gotten married?"

"Before, she was too busy and didn't have the time, but gradually she got used to it. I feel like she doesn't really want to be called Mrs. Shen... But we must get married, otherwise our children will not be able to register in the future."

Yi Lijing then asked: "Will you do pre-marital property notarization?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "There's no need. All her money is with me. I have a professional investment team..."

He doesn't really like to reveal his personal life, especially his love life, to others. He always feels that it's very deliberate, so he indicated that this section can be skipped!

Yi Lijing continued with the next question: "I found that you rarely cast her in your movies?"

"...No, she stars in "Detective Chinatown"... Actually, her image doesn't match my movie!"

"Can't we get along?"

"It's true. The most outstanding characters in my movies are mostly male characters, because most of the movies I shoot are action movies... A Xiang in "Tang Detective" is a very attractive woman, so I found her!"

Shen Changlin is good at action movies.

Generally speaking, the roles played by women in action movies are mostly tool men...

Yi Lijing has a different opinion: "But 'Kill Bill', 'Resident Evil', 'Underworld' and 'Agent Shot' all feature female action actors!"

"But these movies are a bit mediocre in my opinion..."



Almost all variety shows will become the same type in the end, this is the promotion.

The same goes for "Easy Time"...

Yi Lijing asked: "Why do you want to film "Eight Hundred"?"

"I just feel that the existing Anti-Japanese War genre movies are too mild. Ever since the image of Chu Yunfei was introduced in "Bright Sword", almost all the national army generals on the screen have images of concern for the country and the people, and our army generals are all Bandits…actually it’s not like that.”

Shen Changlin complained about the drama, and then said: "Originally, I wanted to film "Eight Hundred" for "Our Victory"... But after reading a lot of information, I decided to film the Battle of Baoshan because "Eight Hundred" is It’s quite ridiculous!”

"absurd?"

Shen Changlin's expression remained unchanged: "Look, the country has been invaded, and the people have become slaves of the subjugated country. Life is worse than death. As a soldier, dying for the country, there is nothing to say, it is only natural. However, the blood, feelings and lives of the soldiers , were used by the upper class as actors and even props to perform for foreigners, the United States and Great Britain, and the location where "Eight Hundred" took place, Sihang Warehouse, was, to put it bluntly, a stage designed to perform for foreigners."

"But we all know that the United States officially declared war on Japan in 1941. The Chairman of the Generalissimo went out of his way to put on a show for the foreigners, but the foreigners really just watched it as a show!"

Yi Lijing was confused: "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Shen Changlin nodded: "You can check the information at that time. The reason why our Mr. Chang Shenkai chose Shanghai as the battlefield was because he wanted the international community to intervene!"

After a pause, Shen Changlin sighed: "After this movie, I will probably make another movie called "Changjin Lake", and then I won't have any military themes!"

"Why? Because of censorship?"

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "That's not true. It was very easy to pass the review of "Eight Hundred". The General Administration is very supportive of me shooting such a work, and after the post-production of the film was completed, Hailiang also watched the film in advance, and the evaluation was very good... I just think I'm so tired. The movie "Eight Hundred" took nearly two years from preparation to completion. I don't have the time or energy to make such a work anymore!"

It does take a lot of energy!

After Spielberg finished shooting "Schindler's List", he didn't shoot any new works for three years. His morale was greatly damaged. It wasn't until 1996 that he started shooting "Jurassic Park 2: Lost" at the urging of Universal bosses. The world》…

Then I can never get back to the top...
Chapter completed!
