Chapter 144: The Five Great Directors

After the news that Lu Lin was going to release the "League of Legends" anime first, it caused an uproar in the entertainment industry. Fans of the game have welcomed it and are looking forward to it.

But many people in the industry said that they couldn't understand this operation, three billion directors, don't pursue awards and artistic achievements, just run to shoot TV series, and now they have to do animation, what kind of trouble is this!

The media likes this kind of controversial topic, because it represents eyeballs and traffic.

Penguin Entertainment has just launched a news column called "Entertainment Industry", the purpose of which is to reveal the rules behind the entertainment industry, and the topic of the original first issue has been done, called "Investigation of the Survival Status of Naked Substitutes", with the subtitle "Being touched is a common thing, sleeping with you is the number one actress".

As a result, as soon as the news that Lu Lin was going to shoot the "League of Legends" anime, the "Entertainment Circle" column group discussed it for less than half a day, and decided to withdraw the topic of the first issue, and temporarily decided to take advantage of Lu Lin's east wind to publish a group of manuscripts called "The Five Directors Are in Trouble".

Based on the box office appeal and influence of the mainland, the article made a "five directors" - Zhang Yimu, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen, and Lu Lin.

At the same time, he explained that the reason why Lu Lin was ranked at the bottom of the five was because Lu Lin did not have a strong recognition in terms of awards. Not to mention the international, there has never been gold content in China.

The first thing to mention in the article is Feng Xiaogang, and the page is accompanied by a video of Director Feng being interviewed by the media about the filming process of "1942", as well as filming footage.

The definition of Director Feng is to impact the master road, and tells in detail that director Feng Xiaogang started from "Night Banquet" and tried to follow his own "humanist master road" with the so-called "trilogy plan".

"The Assembly" tells the story of war and individuals, a company and a country; "Tangshan Earthquake" is about disasters and people, and the story spreads from the city to the country; "1942" is filmed in a more macro way, with the government, the army, refugees, and foreign media cutting in from multiple perspectives, as the title indicates, the times and the country.

Because "1942" has not yet been released, "Entertainment Circle" did not say much, but expressed appreciation for the trailer that has been released, and wished Director Xiaogang a real "master"!

The second director to talk about is Lu Lin. first touted Lu Lin's box office results, calling Lu Lin a well-deserved "king of domestic commercial films".

However, the literati pay attention to writing things, "the text seems to look at the mountains and does not like the flat", and there must be ups and downs. Either first raise and then suppress, or first suppress and then rise. After praising Lu Lin's invincible achievements at the box office, he turned to criticize his works for the lack of "humanities and arts", which is not commensurate with the identity of a great director.

If the results of "The Return of the Great Sage" in art are passing, then "The Alliance of the Gods" is a disaster at all, vulgar and funny, blindly showing off skills, and has no connotation and nutrition at all.

And suggested that Lu Lin learn from several other directors, such as Director Xiaogang who is trying to attack the title of master!

and then expressed his support for Lu Lin's "League of Legends" anime. After all, the game is represented by its own company, so it can be considered politically correct!

But at the same time, I also expressed regret that a three-billion-dollar director actually went to shoot animation, do you not know what to do in the future?"

It can be said that the evaluation of Lu Lin in the manuscript is a bit contradictory. Obviously, he wants to use Lu Lin's reputation to cause controversy and attract attention!

As for the evaluation of the other three directors, they are barely attentive. said that Jiang Wen was gifted, and the censorship was always with him. Director Kai Ge has the most literary accomplishment, but his eyes are low in master. Zhang Yimu is not good at walking alone, and he urgently needs a good partner, so he talked about what happened after the "two broke up".

The special column of this issue naturally appeared on the homepage of Penguin the next day, and it was also recommended at the top.

In the morning, countless netizens clicked in and read it, and there was a lot of controversy about the "five directors".

Some people think that Lu Lin has not even won the three domestic film awards of Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, and Golden Statue, and he dares to be called a great director, which is simply funny. That Wang Jing, the king of Hong Kong commercial films, has more business and countless blockbuster movies, can he also be called a master!

The supporters said that Lu Lin's two movies opened the era of domestic 3D special effects blockbusters, and the box office continuously refreshed the film history record. Is this the kind of director who has won an international award, but the film is banned in China?

The two factions quarreled in post bars, forums and other places. The rest of the directors are not immune, some people say that Director Kai Ge has gone high and low, and since "Farewell My Concubine", there has not been a decent work. Even if he used to be a master and a great director, he can't eat for a lifetime, right?

Some people even say that Director Kaige's current works are almost a complete failure at the box office, word of mouth, and awards, and the real level needs to be reevaluated, and he is not worthy of being among the "five major directors".

There is also Director Feng who is controversial, after all, the reputation of "Little Steel Cannon" is not in vain, there have been too many things that have bombarded reporters, netizens, and peers over the years, and his character has been questioned!

The quality of film works is not as good as before, and there are no directors such as Zhang Yimu and Chen Kaige in terms of awards, and I think he is not worthy of being among the "five major directors".

The controversy about Zhang Yimu and Jiang Wen is so small that it can be ignored, they are both masters with box office and international awards, and if these two are not counted, there will be no big directors in China.

The term "five directors" has been widely discussed by netizens, and it has the meaning of the "four kings" in Hong Kong. Zhang Yimu, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and others ignored these at all, but Director Feng was angry.

Okay, Lao Tzu worked hard to impact the "Master Road", and he could barely be as famous as Zhang Yimu and Chen Kaige. This Lu Lin only made two movies, which was a little box office result. doesn't even have a decent award, what qualifications do you have to be called a great director?

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei was named the "Five Tiger Generals", and Guan Yusha and Huang Zhong were in the same column.

If you are someone else, it will be over to complain to your friends. But Director Xiaogang is not a bystander! It is a small steel cannon that scares reporters and netizens and peers and variety shows, and it must be bombarded!

In the evening, Director Feng posted directly on Weibo: Now some media in the entertainment industry are also very funny, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and I always want to provoke something! I also rank the stars and directors in the seats, I will ask, who gave you the qualifications to evaluate and pretend to be a wolf with a big tail here? Do you understand movies, and give us a few seats, is it really eye-catching? I just ask, is there a big director who makes animation?

As a result, netizens replied, almost confused Feng Daoqi, "Yes, Gong Qijun!"
