Chapter 97 Be kind and keep a low profile

Director Lu Chuan, it’s hard to say how good he is...

But he has the qualities of a great director: he loves to show off, and he also loves to tear things up!

To be precise, I like to be in the headlines.

And many times, he is not doing it for the popularity of his movies, or he simply likes to show off in front of others and show his presence!

Common sense infers that since Shen Changlin and "Big Shot" are so popular, he shouldn't dare to touch porcelain, right?

Thinking too much!

Shen Changlin is nothing, but during the epidemic, our director Lu Chuan even came out to give some instructions to the government on what to do.

People give him nicknames like Lu Gongzhi!

But why is he willing to jump out?

It's very simple. Before Shen Changlin was born, the most famous young director in the industry, besides Ning Hao, was Lu Chuan - the fifth member of the billion-dollar director club in the Mainland!

Now, all the words were complimentary to Shen Changlin, so he was naturally unhappy in every possible way.

But he also knows that he will definitely not be able to defeat Shen Changlin if he competes for the box office, so he will just say a few sour words to satisfy his taste...

As for the sentence "guess", there is no other meaning at all. I just want to show that I know the inside story.

If it were in the past, explaining this possibility would require holding a press conference, buying the media, etc. Now, Shen Changlin directly posted on Weibo: "Do you have any brains in this group of people? Are you all insiders? If I were so powerful, Why do I make movies? If I do real estate or the Internet, I can’t make more money than movies? Moreover, China Film Group does not represent anything. Ning Hao’s “No Man’s Land” has not yet received a screening permit. That movie is China Film Group Main investment, production! China Film Investment only invested less than 10% in "Big Shot"."

By the way, I wrote on Weibo about the postponement of "Transformers 3":

"The release date of "Transformers 3" is also July 29th. It's only been postponed for a month. What's there to complain about? Are you not allowed to watch it?

Which country or region in the world does not protect local films?

In the Internet age, can you just use your fingers to search and then come out to curse people?

If you have a little understanding of the history of film development in European and American countries, you will find that they themselves also have various protection measures!

Because, compared to other products, the market attributes of movie winner-take-all are most obvious. One movie often dominates an entire schedule. Based on the current industry structure of domestic movies, once the restrictions are lifted, domestic movies will Nothing left!

As for Director Lu Chuan, I don’t know this person and have never interacted with him. However, since he has commented on me, I still reply: I hope he will not mention me in the future, and I will not mention him! There is a long way to go, and I hope that he will never mention me. Don’t meet!”

There's nothing else, the key is the last sentence, 'There is a long way to go, I hope we will never meet again'!

What seemed like a plain sentence was actually a warning to him, ‘Don’t take advantage of me’…

This is very embarrassing. Everyone knows that Lu Chuan came out to show off, just to point out Shen Changlin from the perspective of a senior, and to gain some space, and then Shen Changlin directly said, "I have nothing to do with you"...

What a slap in the face!

Shen Changlin kept his word, and subsequent interviews with "Big Shot" prohibited him from asking any questions about Lu Chuan.



Nortel, auditorium, Shen Changlin is sitting in seat C, sharing and communicating with teachers and students about movies.

It’s a honor to return to my hometown!

A new award for Shen Changlin has been hung on the honor wall: Congratulations to Shen Changlin, a graduate of our school, for winning the 47th Golden Horse Award for Best New Director for "Xiu Chun Knife"...

Therefore, you still have to get awards, otherwise, it will be difficult to be on the list!

There was nothing much to talk about during the exchange, so we just talked about creative insights, lens analysis, etc...

Since Shen Changlin dares to come, it means that he has done his homework in advance!

It’s time for students to ask questions:

"Hello, senior brother, I would like to ask, do you think the box office of a movie is more important?"

"It depends on what type of movie you watch. If it is a commercial movie, you must pursue high box office... Let me tell you this, in a rational movie viewing environment, word of mouth should be the strongest booster of box office. During the movie promotion process, There is a routine action of "creating word of mouth"! The promotion of "33 Days After Love" used word of mouth, and it is very effective..."

"What if it's a literary film? For example, "The Piano of Steel"?"

"..."The Piano of Steel" is already the most acclaimed movie this year!"

"Then why did it not do well at the box office?"

"It should be a publicity issue. Almost no audience knows about the release of this movie! 1"

I barely answered...

Then, a boy wearing glasses stood up: "Brother, there is a voice on the Internet now, saying that the sixth generation directors have made many films that have won international awards, not out of a sense of social responsibility, but for the sake of winning awards? What do you think?"

Shen Changlin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "...I can tell you that they definitely didn't have a foreign-friendly mentality at the beginning, but it's hard to say for the subsequent movies!"

"If you think about it this way, why the sixth generation directors are so keen on European film festivals is actually due to the market.

When the Sixth Generation was showing off its highlights at international film festivals, it coincided with a time when the Chinese film market was not doing well.

Where was their market at that time?

Domestically, it is mainly the audience with a certain level of education in some big cities, as well as overseas art theaters.

So when they make a movie, the best way to promote it is to participate in European film festivals, because when the film festival is held, film reporters from all over the world go back to report on it, and there are a lot of film distributors looking for the film, even if you win an award There is also the opportunity to be reported by film media around the world, and there is also the opportunity to be spotted by foreign film producers who can sell the film rights.

If it wins the award, it will be free worldwide publicity, which will be of great help to the subsequent release of the film."

"Then the judgment standards of European film festivals are issues that these directors themselves refer to. If you look at the films of those years, they basically have a certain creative logic. For example, Cannes wants to express the pain of the bottom class of society. This is social responsibility, so it is related to the philandering It has nothing to do with it, it’s just that the creative logic was guided by foreign countries.”

"If a director expresses himself and wins an award incidentally or coincidentally, I think we should be tolerant of creative freedom and analyze it from the perspective of motivation. Wouldn't it be better to kill three thousand people by mistake than let one person go?

Good things can stand the test of time, but people who are flattering will eventually show their flaws, right? Take Hu Shizhi for example!"

"Then what do you think is the real type of philanderer?"

Shen Changlin wanted to reply: Speaking of this, I think we can discuss "Nanjing! Nanjing!", but after thinking about what he said on Weibo, he changed his statement: "I think we can discuss "China "Box" is the work of Wang Ying, the director of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan"..."

"Ahem, he's an American!"

"Oh, that's not flattery, that's political correctness!"

The audience roared with laughter - "China Box" is quite famous in Nortel and can be regarded as a negative teaching material. The political metaphors in it are so low-key that even a fool can understand...

After the event, Shen Changlin was about to leave, and then his teacher Xie Xiaojing stopped him: "Can the conflict between you and Lu Chuan be reconciled?"

"Teacher, you know me. I have always been kind to others and kept a low profile. I can't let others bully me. I still have to be nice to you? That doesn't make sense!"

"That's what I said..." Teacher Xie smiled: "Professor Jiang came to me and wanted me to adjust..."

"How did Professor Jiang know?"

Professor Jiang, Jiang Shixiong, Lu Chuan’s teacher…
