On June 3, in a well-known talk show, in an interview with the veteran director Wang Mouri of Xiangjiang, the host asked how to think of Wang Xiaobai and his works, which are now in the limelight.

Wang asked the host: "Do you want to tell the truth?"

"Of course. ”

"Then I'll just say a few words, but let me say it first, this is just a discussion of film art, and it doesn't contain my personal emotions. Wang said, and then crossed Erlang's legs and said: "I've watched his movies, and they're generally okay, but until now I don't understand how he got so much box office." ”

"Just okay?"

"Yes, or rather, there's a lot of room for improvement. Of course, he has been improving, but his progress has not kept up with his progress at the box office. In recent years, Xiangjiang films have recovered in the mainland, but obviously we have gathered so much effort and so many big names, but we have failed at the box office, which makes me wonder. Wang Mouri shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Maybe the times have changed." ”

"Can you talk about that in detail?"

"Actually, there is nothing to say, and when you say it, it is all offensive to people. He said this, but his actions were very honest, saying: "Let's just talk about his "Those Years", although it can make some young people cry bitterly, but as far as I am concerned, it is full of the immaturity and disease-free moaning of a rookie director, which is not restrained, subtle, and moving, far less than "No. 38 Nathan Road" to give people a moisturizing and silent feeling. ”

"No. 38 Nathan Road" was directed by a friend of his two years ago, and he is also a veteran director, but the things filmed do not meet the situation in the mainland, the audience does not buy it, and the box office hits the streets.

When I say this now, I probably want to get justice for my friend.

"And what do you think of Charlotte's Troubles?"

"The subject matter is good, and I am very convinced by Wang Xiaobai's topic selection. ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone. ”

“……”

The host is speechless, co-authoring is such an advantage, and everything else is useless?

The host wanted to ask again, but the other party didn't want to pick up the stubble, and the matter could only be pointed.

……

As soon as this interview was broadcast, it instantly sparked heated discussions, and with Shangjiangcheng Daily's angry scolding of Wang Xiaobai again, the popularity soared.

Netizens have mixed opinions.

Audiences who love Wang Xiaobai, or his works, scolded Wang Mouri, calling him "pink eye".

"As a senior in the directing industry, Wang's works accompanied me throughout my childhood and youth, and I still occasionally watch his works. But today, I was disappointed by what he said. A good work does not mean that the character is good. He is naked jealousy, maliciously suppresses his juniors, and misbehaves. ”

"Heh, I'm no exception to Wang's day doing this, who doesn't know about his dirty things back then?"

"Xiangjiang movies have long been dead, and they have been frying cold rice all these years, and it is difficult to connect with the local atmosphere of the mainland, or in other words, the directors of Xiangjiang deliberately use this ungrounded way to express their last fig leaf. You are not sincere, so why should the audience buy it?"

However, he agreed with Wang's words very much.

"Director Wang has always been known for daring to tell the truth and not being afraid of offending people. Although his comments on Wang Xiaobai this time are a little ugly, it may not be contrary to his words, and it is time for Wang Xiaobai to reflect on himself, not always obsessed with the box office, but also care about art. ”

"Wang Xiaobai, like his fans, is a glass-hearted ......"

"Wang Xiaobai get out of the director's circle, you have tarnished the purity of the art of film......"

“……”

said anything, and major media rushed to interview Wang Xiaobai, but they were all rejected.

Wang Xiaobai didn't say anything from beginning to end, just silently tweeted. The content of the tweet is very simple, just a picture, a great founder of the republic, talking and laughing at a meeting, with a sentence on it - "What the people like to see, you don't like it, how old are you?"

Soon, almighty netizens found out the source of this passage - in 1961, a speech by a great man at a literary symposium.

These words immediately aroused the recognition and resonance of countless people, and quickly became popular on the Internet, becoming the most ruthless sentence of the year.

And this sentence also made the dispute between new and old directors, the mainland and Xiangjiang directors, and the contradictions completely open up in front of the public, causing the public to eat melons with high enthusiasm.

Perhaps in response to the slogan of the great man, on June 6, the Xiangjiang Film Awards announced the shortlist of the 39th Academy Awards in the evening.

There are a total of 21 awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which are selected for films released in the last year on the three sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The Academy Awards seem to be in great need of inland films to join, so it is very extravagant to give Wang Xiaobai eight nominations, namely the Best Director Award (shortlisted for the film "Charlotte Troubles"), Best Actor, Best Film Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best New Director (shortlisted film "Those Years"), Best Original Musical Film Award, Best Original Film Song Award, and Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film Award.

This is also the only director in the 39-year history of the Xiangjiang Film Awards to be shortlisted for both the Best Director Award and the New Best Director Award.

This made the fans in the mainland boil, and it also reminded them of Wang Xiaobai's record of brushing down six trophies in a row when he was bending last year, I don't know if he can continue to be in the limelight last year and brush all the way on the stage of the Academy Awards?

However, some people are very sensible and think that among the eight nominations, the best cross-strait Chinese film is none other than Wang Xiaobai, the Best Original Film Song Award, the Best Original Musical Film Award, the Best Screenplay and the New Best Director have fifty percent hopes, as for the best actor and best director, the pinnacle awards for the two actors and directors, with Wang Xiaobai's current qualifications, eighty percent of them are not played, and the Best Film Award is impossible.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Wang Xiaobai will accompany him in the past.

Anyone who knows the Academy Awards knows that with the decline of Xiangjiang films, the Academy Awards have been more like a group of their own people playing games behind closed doors over the years, and it is difficult for mainland filmmakers to fight their way out of it.

Don't look at the Academy Awards, which generously gave eight nominations, but this only means that the Xiangjiang Awards just want to send a friendly signal to the mainland audience in this way, and the ultimate goal is to help the Xiangjiang director make money.

It seems that by intention, Wang also received seven nominations at the Academy Awards, four of which overlapped with Wang Xiaobai, namely Best Director, Best Actor, Best Picture and Best Original Film Music.

At this time, the audience in the mainland is boiling, and a voice clamoring to teach a lesson to the arrogant directors in Xiangjiang is popular on the Internet.

Of course, everyone is also very clear that the fact may be that Wang Xiaobai is going to be taught a lesson, but it does not prevent everyone from clamoring.

……

The sea of stars, Wang Xiaobai's office.

Murong Bing said, "Still angry?"

Wang Xiaobai didn't speak, he was seriously playing spider solitaire.

Murong Bing explained: "There's no need to be angry, Director Wang probably deliberately aroused your anger, because his new movie is about to be released." ”

"What is he scolding me for the release of his new movie?"

Wang Xiaobai was not angry.

"Because you're the hottest right now, he needs traffic, it's as simple as that. Murong Bing said in a word, and then said: "But there is something wrong with what Director Wang has done in this matter, even if he wants to touch your porcelain, he should say hello in advance." Doing so, it's kind of ...... It's too much. ”

"Just too much?"

Wang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said, "If you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have just sent pictures." ”

Murong Bing was helpless.

Wang Xiaobai asked: "When will his movie be released?"

"Like July 15th?"

"Wait. Wang Xiaobai picked up the phone, made a call to Xue Ning, and said, "Xue Xue, check when Wang's new movie will be released...... July 15? Okay, I got it. ”

After hanging up the phone, a conspiracy expression appeared on his face, and Murong Bing asked, "What do you want to do?"

"What can I do? Am I going to steal copies of his films and sell them to pirates? I will do such an immoral thing?" he asked rhetorically.

Murong Bing stared at him, seriously thinking about the probability of this kind of thing...... It's not that high, about 98%.

Wang Xiaobai felt that he was invisibly hurt, so he didn't bother to tell her, so he directly picked up the phone and called Murong Yanliang: "Hey, Lao Mu, is the post-production work of "Thai Embarrassment" finished? It's almost there...... It's okay, I'm just going to inform you that "Thai Embarrassment", which was originally scheduled to be released on July 3, has been changed to the 15th......

Yes, I just want you to fight with Wang Mou one day, what's the matter? Are you afraid? That's it...... Okay, you have faith, wait for your good news. ”

After making the call, Wang Xiaobai was finally relieved.

Director Wang, don't you want to touch my porcelain? Then I'll let you touch the bottom.

Looking at the triumphant Wang Xiaobai, Murong Bing was very helpless and said, "Do you have to fight for a breath in this matter?"

"Why don't you fight?" Wang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, very unhappy, and said: "That old guy scolds me for no reason, forget it, even those bastards in Xiangjiang want to use me as a monkey? want me to run with him? Yes, it depends on whether this old guy can bear it." ”

Listening to him snort angrily, Murong Bing was even more helpless, this guy is so childish sometimes, no one can persuade him.

"Okay, just be happy. ”

"Hey, hey. ”

Wang Xiaobai's smile was a little sinister.

Murong Bing said, "But there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You just want to be idle all the time? Although the company has been moving constantly, planning more and more programs, and making more money, but this kind of day is really what you want?"

Yes, I don't have any other dreams in this life, I just want to sleep more...... Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until your hands cramp.

He was silent and silent.

Murong Bing continued: "You have talent, ideals, and passion, but you shouldn't waste them. ”

"I see what you mean. Wang Xiaobai sighed, helplessly took out a thick script from the table, and said, "Can you take this back and read it?"

"New script?"

"Yes. He nodded, looked at her with a serious look in his eyes, and said, "Do you know why I haven't asked you to film all this time?"

Murong Bing shook his head.

Wang Xiaobai asked again: "Do you know that I have been sitting in the office for a day recently and not going anywhere?"

A touch of shame came to my heart.

Murong Bing, who had been holding his head high, lowered his head slightly at the moment, and said, "In order to write this script?"

"Yes. I knew "Those Years" and "Charlotte's Troubles" were going to be popular, but I still didn't look for you because I wasn't ready. ”

"Not ready for anything?"

"Not ready to give you a perfect script. You are my nobleman, and I am also my most precious and precious person, so what I want to give you must be my best. But today, I think I'm ready for what must be a perfect movie. ”

He said earnestly.

A warm current rose in Murong Bing's heart, and his smile was beautiful and moving, more sparkling than the million-dollar diamond necklace around his neck.

She said, "What kind of movie is this?"

"A film that can make society boil, a perfect film full of controversy. Wang Xiaobai said seriously, but what he said was contradictory, but it seemed reasonable.
