The regular gunfight scene involving Lu Lin was easier to shoot later, but even so, it was not filmed until the 15th. And this day also happens to be the opening day of the "16th Shanghai International Film Festival".

Lu Lin didn't make it to the opening ceremony, and originally wanted to go back to Huairou Film and Television Base directly, but Xu Zheng called and said that there was a film forum on the 16th.

Lu Lin has heard of this event, and basically invites fifty or sixty domestic and foreign industry elites to speak at many forums every year, basically focusing on the development of China's film industry and 3D technology and other important topics.

Like Harvey Weinstein, Motion Picture Association of America CEO Robert Pisano, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei and other industry giants. Feng Xiaogang, He Ping, Jiang Digui, Wang Xiaoshu, Peng Haoxiang, Dai Liren and other well-known directors were present this year.

Lu Lin thought about it, and the time of the day was not missing, so he took a plane to Zhonghai first. After a night's rest, dress up the next day for the forum of the International Film Festival.

The annual forum consists of more than 10 special sessions in four sections: "Chairman's Forum", "Industry Forum", "Film Roundtable" and "Film Master Class". Xu Zheng's place is called "Made in Youth", and sitting together are young directors such as Xu Zheng, Xue Xiaolu, Yang Jini, Guo Xiaosi, Zhang Meng, Du Jiayi, and Fang Wensan.

However, it was said that after Lu Lin arrived at the venue, under the guidance of the staff, he came to the "Made in Youth" forum. Several young directors who were chatting saw Lu Lin coming, and they all got up and shook hands with Lu Lin.

It is really that these young directors are too young, and Xu Zheng has only emerged in the film industry for just over half a year. Guo Xiaosi's "Little Times" is still in the promotion stage, and the work has not been released and recognized by the industry.

Of course, even if it is released, his directing ability has not been recognized, what everyone recognizes is only the ability of "Little Times" to attract money.

As for the rest of the directors, they are the kind that new non-industry people are not very familiar with. Unlike Lu Lin, his fame is well known in the country.

"Oh, Director Lu, it's great that you're here, otherwise our youth team won't even be able to shake the scene!" Xu Zheng said with a smile.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "Oh, your old Xu is also a big director now, and it's a shame to say this!"

Guo Xiaosi stretched out his hand, "Hello Director Lu, I directed "Little Times" is about to be released, please cheer for me then!"

Lu Lin's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he smiled: "Okay, I'll go when I have time!" but remembered that before he was reborn, some buddies talked about "Little Times". Let's talk about this film, it's okay for girls to see it. If any man goes to see this and is bumped into in the theater, it is really despised.

In fact, Guo Xiaosi himself admits that he is a writer, but he is also a businessman. The artistic level and storytelling of the film are not mentioned, because this kind of discussion is meaningless for what does not exist.

But I have to admit that the "Little Times" series has a really high ability to attract money, and at the same time, it also makes the unique genre of Chinese films such as "fan movies" carry forward.

After greeting each other and sitting down again, the host of the forum, He Ping, a non-young director who had directed "Swordsman of Shuangqi Town" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", said: "Director Lu is here, it really adds a lot of color to our section!

After that, his eyes narrowed, and his smile was quite meaningful. It turned out that this group of people just now was fiercely attacking the big director.

In the face of the current situation of frequent efforts in small films since "Thai Embarrassment", He Ping, who had filmed "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", denied the advent of the era of small films, saying that the box office success or failure of blockbusters was mixed, and the bosses could not withstand the failure of making blockbusters, so they turned to small films one after another. However, it is still blockbusters that support the market scene, and it is also necessary to make imaginative films with technology and a strong industrial foundation.

And Xu Zheng, who rose to prominence with "Thai Embarrassment", naturally can't tolerate this kind of remarks: he said that the criterion for judging blockbusters lies in the story, not whether they are dressed in the shell of a blockbuster, and then directly bombarded "Fuchun Mountain Residence", saying that since there is such a big investment, please invite a Hollywood special effects team, why not invite a Hollywood screenwriter?

If you don't say that the butt determines the head, Xu Zheng is also a good director. But this remark is inevitably a bit against his will, and the criterion for judging blockbusters is the story?

According to his theory, "Avatar", which talks about "interstellar demolition", and "The Avengers", which has a simple plot, are about to be expelled from the "blockbuster film"!

If Lu Lin doesn't come, it's just that, but Lu Lin is not only a young director, but also a big director. It seems a little inappropriate to criticize the blockbuster in front of him, which is especially embarrassing!

The scene was cold for a while, and it was the young director Du Jiayi who took the lead in speaking. This person served as the producer of the movie "Mei Lanfang", worked with director Chen Kaige, and is also the kind of director with a strong artistic atmosphere.

For the film market where bad movies can sell high box office now, it is obviously a stomach. said: "The idealism of young directors is really worthless in front of money, talking about stories in the past, and now talking about the box office." I showed the filmmaker a script, and the first thing the other party asked was, is this directed by Xu Zheng? I said, this is the film I want to direct, and the other party said, oh, then, you are familiar with Xu Zheng, right?"

Speaking of this, Du Jiayi turned his head to Xu Zheng and said: "Old Xu, I'm not targeting you, but saying that this market is too impetuous!"

Everyone looks at Lu Lin, nothing else, bundle the box office results of all the directors who came to the forum, and there is not necessarily Lu Lin alone! "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" has a global single film of 1.1 billion US dollars. Attacking the box office in front of Lu Lin always feels a bit insinuating.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "Director Du is right, the current film market is a bit box office-only. But everything has to be divided into two and look at it dialectically. If the box office is high, investors can return to their original costs and make money, so they can continue to invest and invest more money. Only by learning from the United States can the domestic film industry ...... industrialization and industrialization a little bit."

Xu Zheng, Xue Xiaolu, and Guo Xiaosi agreed after hearing this, although Xu Zheng and Xue Xiaolu are not involved in the blockbuster field, their goal of making movies is very clear, and their positioning for the audience and the market is also very clear.

And Guo Xiaosi is a little more than Xu Zheng and Xue Xiaolu, and he has ambitions for making blockbusters, otherwise he wouldn't have made a "Jue Ji" in the future!

The situation of the rest of the people is different, Du Jiayi is a "literary school", Zhang Meng is trapped by the box office, Yang Jini is simply playing tickets, and Fang Wensan lamented that the Baodao market is too small and there is no way out.

Among the people, the most ambitious and ambitious person is Guo Xiaosi. Looking at Lu Lin beside him, thinking about the other party's current achievements and reputation, Guo Xiaosi didn't feel that he was worse than the other party at all, nor did he feel that the so-called Yimu, Kaige, Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen were anything great.

"The old concepts of the previous generation of directors are outdated, the current audience is all young people, and the old routines of big directors don't work......" Guo Xiaosi didn't know when to speak, and he actually started to scold the previous generations of big directors as soon as he came up.
