Chapter 148: Public Opinion (4/5)

(The title of the previous chapter was wrong)

Lu Xiaoran is now the leading director in the mainland!

In terms of awards, he has the Golden Bear Award, and in terms of box office, several of his films plus a total box office of more than 2 billion...

The top five box office records in the history of Chinese films, he alone occupies two seats in "Source Code" and "Lone Agent"...

The only thing missing is a few qualifications!

But no one is saying that he is no longer comparable to the sixth generation ...

At first, many people thought that he was just a commercial filmmaker...

In those years, as long as it was a commercial film, it would definitely be criticized!

Zhang Yimou's "Hero", Xing Ye's "Kung Fu", Feng Xiaogang...

Wang Xiaoshuai even said: I resolutely don't make commercial films, I don't allow myself to be so shallow!

Then, public opinion has changed in recent years, and many people are dissatisfied with the sixth generation, and in one sentence: good art films can't be made, big commercial films can't be made, they have no talent, and they all love to pretend, they chose the wrong trade, and the result is to torture the people and toss themselves. Chinese films really can't count on these people, both artistically and at the box office.

The gang shut up...

Wang Xiaoshuai changed his words and said, "It's not that I reject business, but that my directorial cognition has not yet found a matching industrial configuration"...

Mainly in recent years, excellent domestic commercial films have emerged in an endless stream...

"Source Code" came out, the box office was there, and their attitude was already a big change, after all, even if you think that you are extremely awesome at playing art, for a commercial film like "Source Code" that has received such a high box office, that is, it will be contemptuous in private A few words will be up to the sky, and openly say that everyone knows that it is pantothenic acid - a commercial film with a good reputation at the box office, maybe he does not pursue the ultimate artistic achievement and artistry, but his film art is definitely not too bad!

This is like a literary film that can really make art out of the public's aesthetic style, and the box office has always been not too bad, which is a truth.

Business and art are not an either/or contradiction in film, but few people can control the balance between the two smoothly and freely.

A group of people who have never proven themselves commercially, no one is embarrassed to say anything 'commercial films are like that'...

Then, "Fireworks in the Day" came out.

Directly won the Berlin Golden Bear!

The domestic art film circle has always admired Europe and depreciated the United States, believing that European films are extremely artistic, and American films, especially Hollywood films, have the taste of money flowing in every shot!

They especially admired European cinema.

The Berlin Golden Bear, the Venice Golden Lion, and the Cannes Golden Palm are naturally the palaces of art in their mouths...

"Fireworks in the Day" reached the top of what they call the temple of art!

Commercial films, box office is king, word-of-mouth is supplemented, literary films, of course, the award has the final say.

Lu Xiaoran won the Golden Bear Award, you don't care if the judges are blind, this is a fact!

Even if a group of people are not convinced by him, they have to admire him!

Moreover, the quality of "Search" itself is not bad...

Then, "Minren Daily" also wrote a film review review "Search": "I saw the herd effect from "Search"...

If it's too long, just cut a paragraph: Social psychology has a term called "herd effect", which refers to the fact that people are often influenced by the majority and follow the thoughts or behaviors of the masses, which is also known as the "herd effect". Under the influence of this effect, as long as one person takes the lead in the initiative, it is easy for the people around them to lose their own reason, blindly follow, and even do many things that are different from their own intentions, including cruelly hurting others, indifferent to terrible events, etc.

"Searching" is actually also a movie about the "herd effect", the difference is that the "herd effect" here has caught the express train of the times, because of the development of the Internet, and the effect has spread rapidly like ripples.

The protagonist Ye Lanqiu, when he learned that he was terminally ill of cancer, was in a low mood, did not give up his seat for an old man on the bus, and even said cold words.

After this incident was recorded by the reporter and put on the Internet, all of a sudden, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, a thing that could have been regarded as a very small thing, it was magnified countless times, everything in Ye Lanqiu was inescapable because of the "human flesh search", even the teacher who was originally proud of her turned his face and did not recognize people;

......

Hua Yi, Feng Xiaogang Film Studio, Director Feng Da watched today's "Minren Daily" and sighed: "This is to praise him for the position!"

Huang Zhonglei also took a look: "... This thing doesn't have any impact on the box office, right?"

"It's the top of the list that looks at him... It's become a climate!"

Huang Zhonglei suddenly smiled: "I wish he would follow this mold in the future..."

"How?"

"The box office of "Search" will not be high!"

“...”

......

Many people in charge of Bona and Guangguang Media have seen the evaluation of "Search" in the column of "People's Daily"...

A group of people are debating whether to avoid his next movie...

In any circle, as long as it goes to the top and involves huge conflicts of interests, it is already difficult to talk about any friendship.

Orange doesn't even have an ally ...

studied the movie released by Orange this year, May Day, Ning Hao's "Manslaughter";

June, "Scorching Sun";

At the end of July, "Big Man 2"...

In mid-August, "My Little Black Dress";

"Room 7 Gift" at the end of September;

November, "Embroidered Spring Knife";

December, "Thai Embarrassment"...

New films are released every month...

There is no way to avoid it!

Last year, four movies won more than 1.5 billion at the box office...

This year...

Hua Yi is not afraid at all, they have Feng Xiaogang's "1942", as well as Cheng Long's "Zodiac", Xing Ye's "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", and Bona's "Big Shanghai" at the bottom of the box, the light is a little embarrassing, their key project this year is only one "Four Famous Catches"...

......

Lu Xiaoran has had a good time these days - no one bothers him!

Every day I go to the set to see the progress, then go back to the company and pretend for half an hour, and go home at 10 o'clock in the morning...

And then just lay on the couch and didn't think about anything...

Sugar Candy wasn't at home, and he felt relaxed...

Yesterday, I even went fishing with Lao Cao on the side of the Yongding River...

I can't imagine it - it's been a long time since it's been so easy!

Lao Cao felt a little sorry for him: "Xiaoran, I don't think you need to be so tight, one drama a year or one drama in two years is enough, you are completely digging out things now!"

"I know... When I'm done with this..."

"You should learn from me, you see me now, two plays a year, at least three months for yourself..."

Lu Xiaoran was silent for a while, and then said, "But I don't film, I don't know what to do!"

"What do you want!"

“... I just don't know what I want to do..."
