Chapter 93: The Godfather Level (3/5)
(To explain, I can't wear women's clothes...) If I'm a woman, the next step, are you going to let me cut the balls?)
In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about the facts knows that the wave of neoliberal globalization that began in the 1980s and ended in 2008 emphasized that countries should open their doors widely, communicate with each other, conduct free trade, carry out the free flow of capital, information and people, and reduce government control, which is a core proposition of neoliberal globalization.
This claim was widely questioned during the global financial crisis of '08.
And then in 20 years, the fire was completely extinguished ...
If the governance is carried out according to the concept of neoliberal globalization, then as soon as the epidemic comes, it will be completely over, so there is the incident of robbing masks regardless of the alliance...
"Is nationalism collectivism?"
"It's not..."
"Nationalism is a political idea, collectivism is not!"
"Do you think there's a difference between individualism and collectivism?"
"In today's society, of course, individualism is prevalent, but in fact, we are in a collectivist organizational system, seeking a value identity that is beyond the real relationship in a public field, in order to establish an imaginary relationship between us and form a certain narrative, which is the logical source of the value dispute between individual liberalism and collectivism. ”
"What does this have to do with movies?"
"Now the situation is very clear, China and the United States are competing for the right to speak, so nationalism will rise, and many people who are out of place will say 'little pink' and 'patriotic thief', saying that we are selling patriotism, but we are just standing on the tide of history!"
"So, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea" can be a big hit?"
“... Almost, of course, the most fundamental reason is that these two films are well made, otherwise, why can't "The Great Cause of the Army" sell 500 million?"
......
Xu Zhiyuan changed the subject: "I heard that you want to shoot "Changjin Lake"?"
“... I have this idea, and I have done a lot of data collection, but I don't have a clue yet..."
"Don't have a clue?"
"It's hard to shoot... There are a lot to mobilize ... And I'm 34 now... At 35 years old, give me a few more years, maybe I can think of a new form of cinematic expression!"
Lu Xiaoran snorted haha...
Obviously don't want to talk about this.
Xu Zhiyuan asked again: "Then what do you think is your biggest flaw?"
"Sometimes I am too conceited, I always feel that I am right, and it is easy to fall into the dilemma of generalizing!"
“... Really?"
"Yes, I used to like to point fingers on Weibo, but now I don't..."
"Why?"
"Because you're a celebrity now, what you say will be taken true by many people, but is what you're saying the truth? Not necessarily... As soon as the Internet came, all the rivers and lakes were opened up and converged into one place, becoming a big pool of muddy waters, rivers and lakes, hooligans and true gentlemen. In troubled waters, a gentleman is really a hooligan! Isn't that saying spread now, it's shameful to escape, but it's useful!"
"Even you're scared?"
“... Of course I'm afraid, I'm in the rivers and lakes!"
Xu Zhiyuan was a little disappointed...
The interview continued, and he asked Lu Xiaoran: "What do you think are the most sensitive to among the major elements of the movie?"
"The logic of the story... I'm very strict with logic, and if this script doesn't make sense to me, I won't direct it!"
"Is it a talent?"
"Almost, I'm sensitive to this thing..."
"One thing I'm curious about, why do you want to make sci-fi films?"
"I went around the U.S. that year, made a few investments, and visited several Paramount projects by the way, like "Transformers" or "Special Forces"... I've never seen that kind of big industrial system in that scene, and that's why they're running rampant all over the world. The main reason why Hollywood movies can be popular around the world is that it does not pursue the literary positioning of the film, but maximizes its entertainment, supplemented by the highly developed industrialization process, I am really worried about the survival of domestic films..."
"After returning to China, I did two major projects, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Gravity"..."Raiders of the Lost Ark" was filmed and filmed across borders in Japan, South Korea, and released simultaneously, and the box office was very good, but international relations became too fast..."Raiders of the Lost Ark" was originally going to develop five to ten films, but now, the third part has been filmed and died..."
"Fortunately, Gravity is not bad..."
......
"I have a question, that is, do you have a clear understanding of your work, or rather, what do you think of the bad reviews on the Internet?"
"This question is actually very easy to answer, most directors think that their work is a good work in their hearts before creating, otherwise, he will not shoot!"
"Therefore, any director, especially an author-type director, feels that their film is well made, and their aesthetic is high..."
"Then a group of people in the literary circle touted all kinds of things, and when you listen to them, you feel that your works will soon lead a new era!"
"Don't believe it, times have changed, and the biggest characteristic of the Internet is that it subverts everything, and it has its own logic. He doesn't care what you shoot or what your demands are, I don't feel your movie, I'll give it a bad review! There are some people, the more the public likes it, the more I have to oppose it! Do you listen to their opinions?"
"I value word of mouth, but I don't really look at bad reviews..."
Almost over, Xu Zhiyuan asked Lu Xiaoran another question: "Do you have any hobbies?"
"I have a horse farm, and I'm going to ride a horse when I have nothing to do, and the rest... It seems like there is no more!"
"None?"
"When I wasn't a director before, I liked to watch football, play games, and go to bars... Later, I became a director, and for these things, if you can quit, you have to quit and quit, and many times, for the sake of one thing, you have to give up other things!"
Xu Zhiyuan nodded, and Lu Xiaoran got up and left...
He is very busy, in addition to this interview, he also has to attend the annual meeting of the General Administration, the annual meeting of producers...
This year's Chinese New Year stalls can be said to be unprecedentedly successful, with the market performance in December exceeding 7 billion, the highest of the year, and also successfully boosting the annual box office to exceed 58 billion...
Xu Zhiyuan looked at the back of Lu Xiaoran leaving, and then sighed - this is the process of "Thirteen Invitations":
"Endless introspection;
Endless self-knowledge;
Endless self-discipline;
With talent and hard work, and a clear understanding of what they want, such a person can succeed in any field!
Director Lu Xiaoran has all the elements of appeal, in addition, he also has a sense of responsibility, in ancient times we said, dare to be the first in the world, very good, he succeeded! I dare not imagine if he did not succeed, what would happen to Chinese films now!"
