Chapter 230: The reason why I don't like it

Although Mu Chen has not debuted for a few years, his works have continued one after another, and each one has set off a craze. And he has a lot of topics of his own, and he doesn't know how many times the headlines have been on the front page, so he is naturally often chased by the media.

Naturally, there are many media outlets that have dealt with him.

For Mu Chen's temper, those reporters have already figured it out.

"There's nothing to say about the fight. Mu Chen said, "Don't say that they did it first, I was purely defending myself." Even if they don't do it and are pointed at their noses and scolded as 'yellow-skinned monkeys', I guess they can't help but do it. ”

"I beat those guys, I don't think I did anything wrong, as for the American media asking me to apologize, then let them hell with it!" Mu Chen continued, "It's not me who should apologize, but those people." ”

"Okay!" Mu Chen saw the security personnel at the airport coming, and then said, "If you have any questions, let's ask tomorrow afternoon." ”

Those reporters understand Mu Chen's temper, and when they talk about it, they will say anything if they ask Mu Chen again.

The next day, Mu Chen went to the company early in the morning.

""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four Oscars, and many domestic talk shows have invited you. Chen Fuhai said to Mu Chen.

Invite Mu Chen to record a show?

This is to be expected.

After all, Mu Chen became the first filmmaker to win the Oscar, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also the first film to hit the Oscar success.

Mu Chen, as the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", has naturally become the most sought after.

What's more, Mu Chen himself also took a little golden man.

During this time, he was definitely a popular fried chicken, the kind that no one can match.

"What do you mean?"

If it was in the past, Mu Chen might have rejected them all.

Nowadays, he is less and less interested in recording programs.

This time, though, he didn't refuse.

This time I agreed to record the show, not because of how good the results of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were, but because I wanted to go to the TV show.

But "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is about to be released, and recording a show will undoubtedly have an excellent boost to the box office.

"CCTV "People" also sent you an invitation. Chen Fuhai said.

When he said this, he obviously suggested that Mu Chen accept the invitation to this show.

"People?" Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai with some surprise and said, "Isn't it a joke?

The show "People" is a bit lofty.

The ratings of this show may not be high, but its influence is not small.

The people who appeared on this show are all extremely influential figures in various fields.

Mu Chen doesn't think he has this qualification.

"What's inappropriate?" Chen Fuhai said with a smile, ""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the first film to hit the Oscar success, and you, as the director of this film, are fully qualified. What's more, you are also the only director with a box office of 10 billion yuan in China. ”

Mu Chen smiled, it was the next step.

"Oh, yes. Chen Fuhai continued, "Huhai Satellite TV hopes that you will show your face on "Good Songs of China". ”

"Isn't the ratings of this show good?" Mu Chen looked at suspiciously.

"Compared with "The Voice of China", both in terms of influence and ratings, it is a little inferior. Chen Fuhai said, "The main reason is that there are no popular songs." So, they want you to go on stage and sing a song and create a buzz as well. ”

"The Voice of China" and "Good Songs of China" are both cooperated by Dawn Film and Television and Huhai Satellite TV.

"Okay!" Mu Chen said after thinking about it.

It's just a song, if it can increase the ratings and influence of "Good Songs of China", what does Mu Chen have to refuse.

If the ratings and influence of this show are unsatisfactory, he will not be able to get over Mu Chen's face.

This program is planned, but his name is hung.

Although, he only came up with an idea and did not participate.

In the afternoon, Dawn Film and Television held a press conference.

It was not only Mu Chen who was present, but also Li Ruoxi, Li Long, Zhang Na, and Zhen Pei, a signed artist of Dawn Film and Television.

When the reporters saw this, they didn't know that this press conference was actually the press conference of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The turmoil caused by Mu Chen in the United States is now a topic, and there are naturally a lot of media who come.

With such an opportunity, Mu Chen would not let it go.

"Thank you to all the media for coming, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won four Oscars, including Best Foreign Language Film, breaking the curse of many years of Chinese films not winning the Oscars, and I am proud to be the director of this film. Mu Chen said, "This film will meet with you tomorrow, and I also ask for support." ”

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now. ”

As soon as Mu Chen's words fell, the reporters in the audience couldn't wait to raise their hands.

In this case, those reporters naturally did not speak directly.

Otherwise, this press conference will become a vegetable market.

"Director Mu, how do you feel about missing out on the Oscar for Best Director?"

"It's still a little bit lost. Mu Chen said with a smile, "After all, any filmmaker, no matter what award, is shortlisted, naturally wants to win the award." However, you said how disappointed you are, and it doesn't seem to be. I never thought that I would win the award for the first nomination, the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, and I didn't also nominate for the award I won many times? ”

"Then have you ever thought about making a film to sweep the Oscars like the Golden Dragon Awards?"

"Sweeping the Oscars?" Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know whether to say that you have big brains, or that you think too highly of me." I am a man, not a god!"

"Director Mu, can you tell us more about the fight in the United States and the police station?"

Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi.

"That day of shopping, we were going to go back," Li Ruoxi said, "a big man, much taller and stronger than me." He passed me by, but he fell on all fours. After getting up, he was about to push me, but Mu Chen stopped me, and then he started to do it, and was restrained by my bodyguards, and then seven or eight big men surrounded me and accused us of beating people......"

When the reporters heard it, they immediately thought of the word "touching porcelain".

It's just that those people "touched porcelain", but they touched the iron plate.

No, it should be mixed gold steel plates.

As for being tracked and trapped, Mu Chen naturally won't tell the media.

"Then Director Mu has anything to say about the deliberate smearing of the American media?"

A reporter spoke.

"The international status of China is getting higher and higher, but the long-standing arrogance and prejudice that many foreigners have against the Chinese people still exists. Mu Chen said lightly, "But I believe that white can't be black, and black can't be white." ”

The most concerned problem was solved, Mu Chen and others deliberately guided, and the reporter's problem immediately shifted to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The popularity of Li Long, Zhang Na and others is not low, especially Li Long is now in Hollywood most of the time, and he has not returned to China much, so it is rare to have the opportunity to interview, so naturally he will not always revolve around Mu Chen.

The people present are estimated to be Zhen Pei's low level of attention.

However, this new Golden Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actress has not been completely left out.

Of course, she was naturally asked the least number of times by media reporters.

After the press conference, the major media naturally reported one after another.

Mu Chen's answer to the Oscar trip to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Mu Chen's response to entering the police station.

Mu Chen smeared his views on the American media.

Li Long's evaluation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"......

The news of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Mu Chen and others almost dominate the entire entertainment page, and on the Internet, discussions about these things can be seen everywhere.

On the third day, the much-anticipated film was released.

Countless audiences walked into the theater and wanted to see the film.

They don't understand why Mu Chen swept the Golden Dragon Award with a martial arts film, not to mention, but also hit the Oscar success.

The film attracted fans and, naturally, countless filmmakers, as well as professional film critics.

Fang Ran is a veteran film critic and a film critic who is highly concerned and recognized by fans.

He is also a movie lover.

For movies, Fang Ran has never been a picky eater. Action, comedy, sci-fi, drama, magic, ethics, thriller, horror, etc., he dabbles in any genre.

However, he didn't like martial arts movies and kung fu movies very much before.

He likes films with more substance.

Whether it's a martial arts movie or a kung fu movie. In previous films of this kind, the fighting scenes may be extremely exciting, but apart from the fighting, there is nothing else to see.

In the movie, in addition to vendetta, it is revenge. In addition to the nosy affairs of chivalry and righteousness, it is the lawlessness of indiscriminate killing of innocents. The better ones can highlight the physical fitness and protect the family and the country.

For example, Mu Chen's "Jingwu Hero" and Yuan Hong's "Ip Man".

He couldn't see anything in the movie.

He doesn't think that the 5,000-year-old civilization of China is all there is to it.

This may also be a reason for the decline of martial arts films and kung fu films.

Therefore, he is even more curious about this film that swept the Golden Dragon Award and won four Oscars.

What is the difference between Mu Chen's martial arts film and others!

Fang Ran bought a movie ticket for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and came to the theater, where there were already many people sitting inside.

He glanced at it, but most of the people who watched the movie were young people, and from their conversation, he could also hear that most of these people were fans of Mu Chen.

He was not surprised by this.

If there is anyone with the most fans in China, it is undoubtedly Mu Chen.

Even Zhang Gang and other top directors who have been famous for many years are estimated to be difficult to compare.

This is what Mu Chen has accumulated with one film after another.

He also admired this young man very much.

Although he doesn't like some of Mu Chen's films, such as "East Becomes West" and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".

Moviegoers came in in an endless stream, and soon the entire theater was full.

Fang Ran was not surprised by this.

On the first day of Mu Chen's movie, which time was not high?

What's more, there are no blockbusters released in April.

The expectations of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are so high.

This kind of attendance is purely normal.

The film begins quickly.

It was just the beginning, and Fang Ran's eyes lit up. Not attracted by the picture, but by the soundtrack. He could still hear the cello's weeping voice.

"The opening soundtrack already sets the tone for the film. A soothing and beautiful melody, a melancholy and sad life!"

"Can it win the Oscar and the Golden Dragon Award for Best Film Score? ”

"The most musically talented director!"

I don't know why, such a sentence appeared in Fang Ran's head.

Shaking his head, Fang Ran continued to look at the screen.

The inexplicable affection between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian was hidden in their hearts by the two.

It's a kind of repression and constraint.

The storyline gradually unfolds, a long-famous hero hands over his sword and wants to quit the rivers and lakes, but because of that sword, a series of things are triggered, showing the plot conflicts one by one.

And Yu Xiulian chased the sword at night, the scene paid equal attention to the virtual and the real, both the artistic conception and the sense of reality, and the drum soundtrack was also eye-catching.

The action scenes in the film are fascinating.

This is also a major feature of Mu Chen's films.

Encircled and suppressed the blue-eyed fox, Yu Xiulian fought against the jade dragon, Li Mubai fought the jade dragon in the bamboo forest...... or heavy speed, or heavy fighting, or heavy change, or heavy artistic conception, several major scenes have their own focus, each has its own wonderful.

The main actors and acting skills are eye-catching.

Even Mu Chen, who played the main role for the first time, was amazing.

And Mu Chen was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the role of Luo Xiaohu, which is well deserved.

Of course, when Luo Xiaohu and Yu Jiaolong made love for each other, the fans in the theater suddenly realized: why did Mu Chen suddenly direct and act by himself.

Mu Chen's suspicion of "machismo" made many fans laugh.

However, those actors surprised Fang Ran not Li Ruoxi, who won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress, but Li Long, who played Li Mubai.

Fang Ran once sprayed Li Long's acting skills, but at this time, just from the beginning, he felt that Li Long's acting skills had greatly improved, and even had a breakthrough.

Especially those eyes, they left too deep an impression on Fang Ran.

Is this the look that Mu Chen gave Li Long with an eagle?

And the end of the film also confirms his guess that he heard the soundtrack at the beginning.

The characters in the film all end in tragedy, Li Mubai's master and apprentice, Yu Xiulian's same, the pampered and arrogant Jade Jiaolong, the free and arrogant Luo Xiaohu, the blue-eyed fox, and the long-distance pursuit of her head.

This is the sorrow of being human, and this is the human tragedy that continues to be staged.

What does Mu Chen want to express in this film?

Fang Ran fell into thought.

This film is not about chivalry, but about rivers and lakes!

The righteous deeds of the chivalrous idlers in this film are no longer the focus, the joys and sorrows of their shuttling between the rivers and lakes and the world, what they think is the focus.

Mu Chen does not always focus on the development of contradictions, he often consciously or unconsciously intersects the main line of the story with the secular society and human customs of the time, thus providing imagination space for finding the inextricable connections between them.

This film does not have the arrogance of ordinary martial arts films, but instead has a deep contemplation and subtlety of looking for the humanistic connotation of the rivers and lakes.

And this kind of thinking doesn't seem to please domestic fans very much!

The sense of substitution is too bad!

This can be seen from the reactions of many fans in the theater.

After watching it, many fans didn't understand!

There's nothing cool about it!

This is an unpleasant film.

But Fang Ran has to admit that this is a classic movie.

From the perspective of film language, all audio-visual elements such as photography, stage design, action design, sound recording, and music also fully reflect the director's deep style and praise and love for Chinese classical culture.

So why did Mu Chen say that his least favorite work is this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

Does he know that the film doesn't please fans? That's why he said he didn't like it?
