Chapter 65: The Round Table (4/5)

(There will be a recommendation tomorrow, strive for a wave!!)

Director Lu is now more and more able to speak.

'I don't agree with you, but I defend your right to speak to the death!'

Translated into Chinese: gentlemen and different!

Of course, Lu Xiaoran is definitely not such a person, the 'you' in the sentence does not represent anyone, he should first be a person who can take responsibility for his own actions

It is not a legitimate right to have rights without responsibilities, and to enjoy freedom without restriction will eventually lose it...

Freedom of speech means that you have the right to express your own opinions, but you also have the right and obligation to be responsible for what you say.

This is the right solution!

……

"First of all, the domestic protection month that everyone is talking about, of course, has this factor, but it is not you "Wolf Warrior 2" who is protected, other domestic films are also protected. Wolf Warrior 2 has crushed other domestic films for a month in a row, this can't be explained by simple hype or water army, after all, everyone is hyped, and... Wu Jing has such a thing as a water army and a miserable brain?"

"It's still quality, and it also reflects a truth: movies with big era narratives and patriotic themes, despite many flaws, still have great appeal in the current Chinese market. ”

Dou Wentao: "Then why didn't everyone shoot before?"

Lu Xiaoran hesitated, but still said: "In the current Chinese film and television industry, it is the will of capital and capital bosses that determines the market and the allocation of resources, which greatly affects the aesthetics, values and even political orientation of the general public, especially young people. ”

"In the past two years, capital has overwhelmingly launched rotten and basic film and television works, with small fresh meat as the selling point, with the depreciation of the national spirit, and the exaltation of the West, especially the United States and the white race, as the core, with the goal of gaining Western recognition, highlighting vulgar, blue and other low-level tastes, thinking that in this way, they have mastered the taste of the post-80s and post-90s, but in fact, it is often just the mentality of the management itself that is obscene uncles and flattering foreign slaves. ”

"In a sense, what the Chinese market really needs, what the general public likes, and what capital does not like. ”

"They think that there is no market for patriotic themes, so many patriotic films were suppressed in the early days of release..."

In a sense, "The Martian" and "Wolf Warrior 2" told these people that what the audience loves to watch are film and television works that fully promote the pride of the nation and the country, and fit the theme of the great era of China's rise and national rejuvenation. ”

"In 14 years, I participated in the symposium of the literary and artistic circles, and the leader has two sentences, which I still remember deeply, 'art must step on a solid earth', 'patriotism as the main theme of literary and artistic creation', literature and art are the light of the national spirit, and it always inadvertently shows the state of the national spirit. It is not difficult to imagine what impact this bad tendency of blindly Westernizing, spoofing history, and subverting the classics will have on the patriotic belief, backbone, and confidence of the Chinese. From that day on, I felt that carrying forward the main theme and spreading positive energy was our next creative task!"

Okay, "Wolf Warrior 2" is finished...

Liang Wendao raised a topic: "In fact, we are not free in creation, the United States..."

Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "I have something to say about this!"

"In terms of creation, whether it is music, film, television, or painting, many people, including filmmakers, TV people, and lyricists, are deliberately provocative. ”

"I think they want to raise a topic, but that's not really how artistic expression is. Say what you can, and don't deliberately provoke if you can't. ”

"You have to respect the boundaries, we have so many good stories and themes, why do we deliberately, pay attention to the deliberate, to shoot something so-called reactionary?"

"I don't think it's an artist, it's a deliberate provocation! to advertise that I'm unique, to create a sober artist posture, I hate this kind of person!"

Lu Xiaoran took a sip of tea and continued: "The United States you just said... In fact, the United States also has a lot of restrictions, especially after becoming politically correct in the past few years, they are really tied up, especially commercial films with big investment. ”

"If Hollywood blockbusters want to enter the Chinese market, they must circumvent our censorship, which is called mutual respect..."

Dou and Liang both looked quietly focused, and after listening to him stop after saying this, Liang Wendao nodded and said, "The limit of freedom, right?"

"Overall, our scale will be liberalized, won't it? I believe that in a few more years, the grading system may be launched!"

……

"How did the movie "Wushuang" come about?"

Lu Xiaoran did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "... What type of movies did I get started with?"

"Frontier Storm... Crime genre films?"

"Yes, I have a soft spot for crime!"

Lu Xiaoran said with a smile: "The specific source should be a case of printing counterfeit US dollar bills that I saw during a data collection, and the criminal was still printing it when he was caught." It's a way for him to escape the fear of being caught!"

"This situation of counterfeiters, which does not seem reasonable at first glance, but is very real, is what attracted me. I wanted to know the psychological activities of these criminals, so I looked up a lot of information, and then I used this as a starting point to start writing a story. ”

Dou Wentao: "There are many people on the Internet who say that they plagiarized "The Extraordinary Suspect"..."

"No, there are only 36 ways to write a story in modern screenwriting, and even if you add many techniques to recreate it, you still can't create a so-called new way of writing. ”

"The core and temperament expressed by the two movies are also completely different, so the audience doesn't have to compare the two anymore. ”

"Wushuang expresses at least four meanings: the story of the counterfeit money syndicate is enjoyable to watch, and this is a crime movie. Li Wen is in love with Ruan Wen, Xiuqing and Li Wen's emotional entanglement, this is a love movie. Li Wen's fictional plot tricks on the police and getting out makes people suddenly realize, this is a suspense movie. But on top of these three layers, there is an ethical film that explores human nature and life – the story about Li Wen's own story. ”

"Originally, I wanted to make a complete story, but then I discussed it with Zhuang Wenqiang, and I felt that I could set up another layer of suspense and introduce "Wushuang Prequel", which will be released on National Day next year!"

"Prequel?"

"Well, it's a pity that this story was discarded like this, and digging deeper, it's still quite useful!"

Liang Wendao: "I'm curious, is it a big director like you, who cares about the box office or the award for the movie?"

"Look at the genre, if it's a commercial film, I definitely care more about the box office!"

"I see that your movies are very high at the box office, so do you position yourself as a commercial film director or an authorial director?"

"Let's make a commercial film..."

The first issue of "Round Table Pie" is 45 minutes, and Lu Xiaoran chatted for nearly two hours, talked about many topics, and happily recorded the show.

The middle paragraph on the topic of 'certain capital' should be cut out...

It's not that I'm worried about finding trouble, it's that there's no need...
