In later generations, many actors transformed into directors...

Including those who sell books, those who sing and even the hosts have transformed into directors...

Of course, the quality of the films they made is uneven, some are very good, you are like Mr. Chen, the first work "Beijing Love Story", decent, won a box office of 400 million, and there are also like Mr. Guo Tao, who filmed a "Lust Game", which was a mess...

Shen Mengxi and their unpopular screenwriters gathered together to analyze and conclude that the key to this matter is that China lacks commercial film directors who can carry the box office.

Also, most of the famous directors in the mainland are not very willing to make commercial films...

Since inviting anyone is a risk, it is better to invite someone who is a little famous, at least to ensure a part of the box office.

Famous writers and actors all bring their own traffic, and when people come to be directors, the capital side is more willing!

It turns out that professional things should be done by professional people.

Wen Muye, a "I Am Not the God of Medicine" won 3.1 billion box office...

It's a good thing that the sea is inclusive.

But it shouldn't be the norm.

The director used by Shen Mengxi, at least without the support of a professional team, he can shoot it!

A drama gives you a good producer, a good editor, and a good executive director, so what do you want to do?

......

Yang Xiaomi left with a lot of worries, and the crew had to continue filming.

Unhurried, according to the shooting schedule ...

No matter how fast it is, it will take a month!

It's the movie!

Shen Mengxi's performance is not very good, but it can be regarded as an excellent completion of the task - acting in his true colors.

The matter of "Inception" is slowly cooling down...

After all, in the entertainment industry, there are many things going on every day, and scandals and scandals are always the highest!

For example, Wu Junru broke the news on the show that many actresses have philatelic habits...

Zhou Jie crashed and disappeared, and even Sun Yue was trapped in the car gate...

Nima, the entertainment industry, no, basketball players are really a high-risk profession, and if you play a car formation, you can be secretly photographed!

This reminded Shen Mengxi that even at home, the curtains must be closed!

In the past half month, Shen Mengxi has been obsessed with iron, and the two boxes of sets have not been used up, you know, his highest record, used up a whole box in one night!

Ahem...

It's good that no one pays attention, and I'm happy to be idle and filming!

Then, on April 12, the 62nd Cannes Film Festival released the list of nominees...

A total of 21 films were shortlisted for the main competition unit, including "Making Woodstock" directed by Li Amine, "Inglourious Basterds" by Quentin Tarantino...

Chinese films, a total of three directors, To Qifeng's "Revenge", Cai Mingliang's "Face", Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze Drunk Night"...

It's a big win!

That's not the point, the point is "Manchester by the Sea", director Shen Mengxi...

The first time you became a director, you were shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival?

What kind of awesome character is this?

Well, the company's official website says this: "Manchester by the Sea" is the first work of director Shen Mengxi, during the filming of the film, received invitations from Berlin, Cannes, Venice three major film festivals, and finally, the producer and the director themselves decided to put the premiere of the film in Cannes, representing respect for the temple of film!

It's true, do your own math, if you cut out a bunch of masters and Cannes descendants, how many art films are left every year?

"Manchester by the Sea", starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has been positioned to win awards from the beginning!

The artistry is certainly not bad!

The topic is still full, this kind of movie, from the first project, is to be grabbed!

Foreign countries may not know much about this "Manchester by the Sea", but the domestic circle has known it from the beginning - this movie was made by Shen Mengxi to slap Wang Jiawei in the face...

Didn't you say I don't understand movies?

Then I'll make a film!

......

"China Film Report" should be the oldest film information column in China, and the movie channel broadcasts it at 6 o'clock every night.

Generally, if they want to interview any crew, they just need to report their name and they can get in.

"Those Years" is no exception...

Yang Qing was staring at the surveillance screen, and Han Yan ran over: "Brother, the people from "China Film Report" are here!"

“... Yo, let's go and receive it?"

"Well, you go first, I'll talk to the producer..."

Who is the producer, of course it's Shen Mengxi!

By the way, Han Yan served as the assistant director of "Those Years", which is equivalent to a larger field work, the kind that has to take care of everything...

He enjoyed it himself and was familiar with every step of the filmmaking!

Notify Shen Mengxi of the people from "China Film Report" to visit the class, Shen Mengxi nodded, and then called Liu Yifei and Shu Chang: "You two also go over and have a look..."

"Shall we change our clothes?"

"No, you look good like this!"

The host is Yao Miao, a very intellectual beauty...

is chatting with Yang Qing about "Those Years": "This movie is made for students born in the 80s and 90s..."

"I chatted with Mengxi, and he said that although "Sunny Days" is very good, it was the sunshine of the 60s and 70s, and the market needed a youth film for the post-80s and post-90s, and then he showed it to me, I only read a sentence from the outline, and immediately took it..."

"Oh, which one?"

"He wrote, 'The throes of youth are that girls are always more mature than boys of the same age. I had just finished filming "Crazy Lottery" at the time, and I didn't want to shoot so soon... But I'm afraid he'll give this play to someone else..."

Shen Mengxi sat aside and listened to him brag, thinking that this guy was okay, he was light, his head was the way, he was not nervous at all, how could he be like Ning Hao, he knew that he was pretending to be forced - people asked him about his box office expectations, and he said in a very hung tone, "I'm just a cook, after cooking, whether I can sell it or not, that's the store manager's business." ’

Paralyzed, if you make a good enough dish, how can the store manager not sell it?

Demand outstrips supply!

"Hey, Mengxi is here, our fairy sister and the stupid girl are also here, you go interview him!"

The camera immediately focuses on the trio who are watching the excitement, all three of them are wearing school uniforms, and the sun is shining where they are standing...

What a bunch of golden boys and girls!

Yao Miao's eyes lit up, and she walked over, the reason why she chose to visit "Those Years" today is that in addition to "visiting the class", the most important thing is to ask "Manchester by the Sea"...

"Mengxi, Yifei, Shuchang, hello, this is "China Film Report", come, say hello to everyone..."

Shen Mengxi was a little confused, he hadn't experienced this kind of actor life yet, who would he say hello to?

Then I saw Liu Yifei skillfully pointing at the camera and waving his hand: "Hello everyone, I'm Liu Yifei, I played Shen Jiayi in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years";

Shu Chang did the same, Shen Mengxi endured his shame, and waved his hand, with a warm smile on his face: "Hello everyone, I am Shen Mengxi, and the role I played in "Those Years" is also Shen Mengxi..."
