Chapter 105: The Perch Has an Appointment
"Departure" is the first project that Shen Lin has mastered independently after stepping into this circle.
People will always forget the first love, the first love, the first kiss, the first night, and of course, the first work.
At the beginning, Shen Lin terminated the contract with Tianyu, thinking of finding a way to make his reputation, and then decided to make a show dedicated to bragging like the short and tight in his previous life, yes, the original purpose of the show "Linxing" was to attract fans.
He also did it, through several episodes of explanation, especially the episode of 'Actor Zhou Jie', the number of on-demand views was close to 30 million, and countless fans were attracted.
and then to several major series later, including 'The Age of Discovery' and 'Those Things in the Ming Dynasty', at that time, many people felt that Shen Lin's knowledge could be called Bo Gu and the present, and he pretended to be very successful.
It's a pity that the movie was so successful that it took up most of Shen Lin's time.
Originally, Shen Lin was going to release a movie in a year or two, and the rest of the time was to write and record "Leave".
As a director, you have to be responsible for the work, and even more so for the audience, I really can't squeeze out time to record an online show, so I had to get off from "Linxing" to have "Xiao Song's Strange Talk"!
Although he has not hosted for a long time, in the hearts of many people, Shen Lin's hosting skills are really not bad.
Both the quickness and the ability to react, including the most important language skills of the host, are quite excellent.
Chen Perch also once thought that Shen Lin was actually quite suitable to be a host.
"I admit that maybe my hosting skills are not weak, but again, my personality is not suitable for being a TV host, and I can easily fall into my own subjective judgment, which is a fatal wound for hosts!"
"Yes, the host should still know more about the interviewee, otherwise it is easy to lose the topic!"
Chen Perch was embarrassed to nod.
"And it's easy to be taken off as a public knowledge..."
"You hate this group?"
"Pretty much, I have a natural revolt towards all those who like to show off their knowledge, and I always feel that they are looking down on people. Gongzhi always uses a perspective of her view of the world to popularize the public, and translates the words that everyone can understand, that is, 'I am the only one who thinks...'"
"Hehe..."
Laughing dryly, Chen Perch changed the topic: "I found that you have changed a lot in recent years. ”
"How?"
"You used to seem to be very disgusted with domestic literary films, but now you support such movies in turn?
"I've never been disgusted with literary films, I just think that those directors who make literary films are very uncomfortable, obviously shooting something that I don't know what to say, and I have to say that what I shoot represents art!"
Reiterating his point of view, Shen Lin continued: "The reason why I want to make an online literary theater is just that I think that literary films are not easy to do now, and now the theaters and the mainstream public are pursuing commercial films, and in the long run, there are really no literary films to watch, which is not conducive to the development of films, so we provide a platform that can be screened, and at the same time solve the cost of shooting, which can be regarded as a contribution to Chinese films." But..."
Shen Lin hesitated for a moment, but continued: "After the actual implementation, I found that the operability of this thing is too low. ”
"How?"
"At the beginning, we only said that we would only help those unpopular and low-cost literary films, but many directors of feature films and bad films also came to the door and asked us to release their works in literary theaters, to put it bluntly, it is to let us spend money to pay for them!"
"And then?"
"I definitely don't agree, you made a bad movie, and you still want me to pay for it, how can there be such a good thing? But there are a lot of these people, which makes our project leader very annoying, some time ago, there were not a lot of such remarks on the Internet, saying that we do this literary theater with various purposes, simply, I won't do it, you are free!"
Shen Lin sneered.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that I won't do that literary theater anymore, and all the funds will be withdrawn!"
"That's... Does the literary cinema chain still exist?"
"Yes, of course there is, I won't do it, Aiqiwei and Youku and Pain Sun will continue to do it, but their criteria for selecting films are different from mine, they may buy films according to the director's fame and the reputation of the work, and the price will not be so high. ”
"If you do this, you're going to disappoint a lot of people!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm also quite disappointed! I'm going to set up a film foundation by myself, if there are new directors or directors who are already famous who are very confident in their works, you can bring the project plan to our company to find a special reviewer, once the review is passed, you don't have to think about the cost!"
“… That's fine!"
Chen Perch nodded, and then asked, "What kind of movie are you making now?"
"Zombie movies. ”
"Zombies?"
"Hmm!"
"That's amazing!" the perch looked at Shen Lin, who had a calm face, and exclaimed.
Although I don't know why she said this, Shen Lin still said politely: "Thank you." ”
"Let's talk about "Love Saint", which will be released on September 30. ”
Halfway through the interview, Perch finally remembered to talk about the topic of "Love Saint"!
""Love Saint" is not my original story, it is a work that I decided to adapt after seeing a French movie "Lady in Red" on the plane, which is also about a mid-life crisis, not a work with three views in the traditional sense, and even when I was writing the script, I felt that I hated the protagonist, but it was really funny!"
Talking about "Love Saint", Shen Lin obviously has a lot to say: "I originally wanted to make this movie myself, and I wanted to try comedy, but after shooting a few pieces, I always feel dissatisfied..."
"Not satisfied? Is it because of the actors or the plot?"
"No, because for me, shooting a movie like that is too simple, without any fun of being a director, just sitting behind the monitor every day and watching the actors perform, what difference does it make if there is me on the set or not?
"Then do you think everyone will like the movie "Love Saint"?"
"Male viewers should enjoy it, and female viewers may find it uncomfortable or even offended. ”
"Why?"
"Because its story revolves around a middle-aged man who wants to cheat, well, according to the current popular language, the three views are not very right..."
"Okay, then how much do you think "Love Saint" will have at the box office?"
Chen Perch didn't want to talk anymore when she heard this, and she also felt offended!
"There should be more than 1 billion, let's say an auspicious number, 1.2 billion!"
Shen Lin thought for a moment and said a number that he thought was about the same.
"1.2 billion?"
