"Alive" can finally be released, and Nanke really feels a little crying with joy.

In fact, it is not so easy to mix the business circle and the literary and artistic circle of making movies.

In the business circle, the box office is king, and if you are not careful, you may lose a mess, while the literary and art circle, although the investment is small, and it is not going for the box office.

At present, the current situation of domestic literary films is to win the first prize, and then get a few awards, sell a little waifu, and return to the capital.

And unlike commercial blockbusters, literary films, because many of them involve sensitive subject matter, are the easiest to be killed by the threshold of censorship.

In the early years, some directors dared to take risks, regardless of domestic review, shoot directly, and then win foreign awards, but now it definitely won't work.

And the shooting cycle of literary films is usually not short at all, especially when encountering some more neurotic directors, it is not for nothing to shoot in one year, two or three years, or even in their lifetime.

"Alive" is okay, but there are many problems encountered, at the beginning of filming, Nan Ke always felt that it was not good enough, and filmed over and over again, and finally finished filming, but as a result, the review was stuck.

changed and changed, changed and changed, and encountered people in Linjiang District who were obstructed from it, fortunately, "Peppa Pig" was recognized in the UK, otherwise, it is estimated that "Alive" is really difficult to release.

The schedule of "Alive" is arranged, and this movie is not pursuing the box office, but for any director, the film is made in the hope that more people can see it.

At the premiere of "Alive", this time Lin Xiao waved his hand and directly treated it as a commercial blockbuster!

Nan Ke was naturally very happy, but he was also very worried, after all, whoever ordered the money was not blown by the wind.

In fact, many literary films do not have premieres, because they are too extravagant.

"Lin Xiao, if the premiere is not enough, to be honest, I am a little worried that when the time comes, "Alive" will not even be able to recover the cost, but will let the company accompany a large sum. Nanke said worriedly.

Nan Ke is no longer the Nan Ke he used to be, since the failure of commercial films, he really realized that filmmaking can't be too self-centered and idealistic.

The script was given by Lin Xiao, asking for money and asking for money, and he never said anything, and he never interfered with the filming of the movie.

The initial production budget of "Alive" was only more than 10 million, and then it was repeatedly added, and finally reached a cost of 25 million.

This is not a commercial film, although "Alive" is a work that Nan Ke himself is more satisfied with, but he also knows that it is difficult for such a movie to achieve anything at the box office.

Because the whole film is too depressing, although the theme in it is not so sad, but with a hint of hope, but it is just a hidden theme, and ordinary people don't expect the other party to be able to distinguish it.

However, Lin Xiao didn't care too much about this.

"Just celebrate the birth of my family's big treasure, rest assured, I wrote the script for "Alive", and of course I know what the real potential of this film is. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Nanke's connections in the circle are still very good.

On the day of the premiere of "Alive", because of the relationship between Ling Xiao Pavilion and Nan Ke's own connections, there were really a lot of media, film critics, and big stars present.

It's just that for this film, although Nan Ke made a really good film, even Lin Xiao himself couldn't stand it, it was too depressing.

These are completely different feelings from reading a scripted story.

That's probably the charm of light and shadow.

But Nan Ke's "Alive" has received unanimous praise from most professional film critics.

To Lin Xiao's surprise, "Alive" was also praised by many audiences at the premiere.

"The script created by Lin Xiao himself, Nan Ke returned to literary films again, "Alive" is the best film I have seen in recent years!" - Film Weekly.

"Man is a tenacious creature, "Alive" interprets that a person is still strong and alive after experiencing all kinds of suffering, maybe there are too many misfortunes in life, but this does not become a reason for us to give up our lives!" - Film Review Weekly.

"The film is full of depression, but it always shines a little light, this is a film with tragedy throughout the film, but it is also a film full of hope. "- Big movie!

"There used to be people who were so strong and endured countless pains just to live, but now, there are too many people who want to die because of some small setbacks, and the development of society will make people become more and more lacking in respect for life? ——Fang Yuan, a well-known film critic.

And to the audience.

"Shocking, really shocking, I rarely watch literary films, because most literary films always like to play tricks, I don't understand, is it the so-called art that makes people watch it and don't know what to do? But "Alive" is different, although the process of watching it is full of despair, but after watching it, I found that "Alive" is as its name suggests, just to live for the sake of living, and that's enough!"

"There is no preaching, there is no sorrow for the new words, there is no so-called art that is pretentious, some are just flat and straightforward, although there have been all kinds of life tragedies in it, but he has not been knocked down, despite the pain, despite the despair, but always tenaciously live, live, only to live for the sake of living, we often say, people must live meaningfully, but why must there be meaning? Isn't life itself a very meaningful thing?"

"It's sad and sad to find out at the same time that this movie, the story is hopeless, but the theme is hope!

Of course, there are more negative reviews.

"I don't understand what's the point of making such a movie? I can't stand it at all, all kinds of tragedies, all kinds of despair, life is so beautiful, why do you want to make such a desperate film?"

"I can't stand it at all, maybe I'm only suitable for reading online articles, because in the Internet, you can rarely see tragedy. ”

"It's too, how unlucky a person has to be to be like the male protagonist, who has been experiencing tragedy all his life and all kinds of despair all his life. ”

"It is said that it was written by Lin Xiao, but the result was so disappointing, Lin Xiao, your uncle, you yourself are so lucky, and you ended up writing such an unlucky person. ”

The number of screens on which "Alive" opened is not large, and neither Lin Xiao nor Nan Ke have high hopes at the box office.

However, the goal of "Alive" has been achieved, not only many domestic awards have invited "Alive" to participate in the selection, but some foreign film awards have also sent invitations to Nanke.

This film is also quite highly evaluated in the literary circle.

It's just that what gave Lin Xiao a headache was that after Nan Ke filmed "Alive", he showed Lin Xiao that he didn't want to make commercial films again.

This made Lin Xiao a little depressed, there are really not many directors in Ling Xiao Pavilion, originally, Lin Xiao planned to let Nan Ke carry the Ding, but because of a "Alive", Nan Ke felt that he still liked it more and was more suitable for making literary movies.
