In April, the city of Sijiu was vaguely hot, and the bookstore, which was usually deserted, was actually crowded with people at the moment, and most of them were young people in their twenties. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Could it be that Han Shao or Guo Xiaosi have released a new book?

The owner of the bookstore is a man in his early forties, and he loves and hates these young writers, and hates them so much that what they write is too superficial, and there are actually people who follow them, and there are many people who love them, and the sales are excellent, and he can make a little money.

"Boss, is there the latest issue of Time?"

"Yes, there are a lot of them over there, and I added another batch some time ago!"

There is a business, and of course the boss is happy.

The person who came rushed to the direction indicated by the boss, and after a while, he shouted angrily: "Boss, I mean "Times", not "Little Times"!" You're so insulting to me! ”

"Oh, look at my ears, Time magazine, over there, you go over there and take a look, I got the goods yesterday!"

Sure enough, it was the latest issue of Time magazine.

The cover is a close-up of Shen Lin's face, Shen Lin stared at the photographer taking pictures with a smile in the corner of his eyes, this is everything!

By the way, there is another note - Shen Lin has given Chinese audiences a new possibility, a broader space for movie lovers, and a new style, logic, and even way of thinking to Chinese commercial films!

That's right, this is the magazine that Shen Lin was interviewed by Time last week.

As for how these young people know, it must be because of Shen Lin's promotion on Weibo!

"Ladies and gentlemen, buddies are on the cover of "Time", it's slippery, hurry up and take a look!"

A photo of a sample is attached.

……

At the beginning of 2011, Shen Lin was just a well-known writer, he wanted to make a movie, so he began to look for investment, the reality is not very optimistic, few people are willing to invest in a novice without any shooting experience!

At the beginning of 2012, with the national decline of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", Shen Lin only used two movies to create a box office result of 1.6 billion!

"In Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together" broke many box office records in the Chinese film industry within one week of its release, including the largest release, the highest weekend box office, the fastest box office to exceed 100 million yuan, etc., and finally became the highest box office of the year, and the second highest box office in the history of Chinese films, second only to the invincible "Avatar".

Shen Lin's films not only swept mainland cinemas, but also affected the whole of Asia, and "Those Years" successively set a new box office high for Chinese films in East Asia and Southeast Asia!

From his place. Since the female work "33 Days of Broken Love", the audience has praised Shen Lin.

Although there are also critics, many filmmakers think that Shen Lin's films are too simplistic.

But it is undeniable that the audience just likes Shen Lin's directing style!

This situation has even affected Shen Lin's third work "Chinatown Veteran", it is reported that the movie that will be released in a month has exceeded 100 million yuan at the pre-sale box office!

Few directors can have so many audiences recognize and be enthusiastic about him.

In the hearts of many fans, Shen Lin is the guarantee of the quality of the movie, and "Shen Lin's production must be a high-quality product" is never a joke.

This year, Shen Lin has brought unprecedented confidence to the Chinese audience!

It is reported that Director Shen Lin's work plan this year exceeds that of last year, and he will shoot three films, which is completely a prolific director!

"Time" used the most intuitive question-and-answer method to publish an exclusive interview.

Time: Director Shen Lin, you are a well-known best-selling author, what prompted you to choose a major in filmmaking?

Shen Lin: In order not to be abandoned by this era! As we all know, China's film market is constantly expanding, and choosing to be a director at this time is definitely the right choice!

Time: There have always been people who say that your films are too naïve, lack literary quality, and have few things to think about, what do you think about this?

Shen Lin: Childish? Well, in fact, there is not a single mainstream commercial film that is not naïve! If you choose to read, of course, you can enjoy it slowly, but watching a movie in the theater is a kind of fast-food enjoyment, and there are only two hours of footage in total, and you have to get the audience into the movie! I was also born as a literary and artistic youth, and of course I also wanted to make a literary film that will last for centuries, but later I found that if I can't satisfy the audience, without the audience's recognition, my film has no value.

Time: How do you think film can find a balance between business and art?

Shen Lin: How do you find a balance between business and art? I think it's a bit funny, why does it have to be balanced? Commercial films are commercial films, and they are not a shameful thing, I think some directors in our country are both cousins and archways, obviously making a commercial film, they have to lead it in literature and art, of course, there are also some directors with profound skills, and the films they shoot have both! But this kind of film often doesn't go high at the box office!

Times: Can you comment on the directors in the Chinese film industry today?

Shen Lin: This is to offend me! I'll just briefly say one, director Chen Kexing, his films are quite commercial, and at the same time not lack literary and artistic qualities, which is really difficult to do!

Era: Two movies are on the market a year, and this year's plan is three movies, why is it so hard?

Shen Lin: The past few years have been a decade of rapid expansion of the Chinese film market, and I must seize the opportunity!

Time: Can you tell us about your creative style?

Shen Lin: Style? I don't really have a specific style, and I'm scared of being stereotyped into a certain type of director, so I want to try to make different films. My favorite director is Kubridge, who has mastered most film styles!

Times: Now that you have become one of the best directors in the Chinese-speaking region, has this made a difference to your creation and life?

Shen Lin: I am a filmmaker and a writer, I think the most important thing in making movies is sincerity, if one day I find that I am no longer sincere, I will quit the film industry immediately!

Times: Is it convenient to reveal the work plan for the next part?

Shen Lin: There is nothing inconvenient, after the end of this "Veteran", I will immediately enter the preparatory stage of the new film, the new film is a story of reminiscing about youth from a female perspective, I need to be more delicate!

During the whole interview, Shen Lin's attitude was very elegant, and I could feel a strong self-confidence from him!

Shen Lin seems to always be able to reassure the fans who support him, and his works are always worth looking forward to.

The interview published by "Time" once again pushed Shen Lin into the storm!

After all, no director has ever been interviewed by "Time" before, not to mention that "Time" also gave the title 'Next Stop, Master!' ’

For a while, many media contacted Shen Lin, and even many paparazzi nested at Shen Lin's doorstep.

Fortunately, none of these affected Shen Lin, this guy led the bun to HK to participate in the 31st Academy Awards!
