Chapter 132: Daily
"I always feel that whoever is called a master is scolding this person. Do you think, there is a master of Chinese painting and qigong...... It feels like they're all liars. You can call me whatever you want. As soon as my film comes out, everyone thinks: Feng Xiaogang's? I think this one is more affordable!"
This sentence was said by director Feng Xiaogang when he was promoting "Tangshan Earthquake".
It is estimated that he has almost forgotten about it, and in the past few years, he has been twisting and turning, just trying to go to the path of the master!
There is no problem with Shen Lin's statement, Feng Xiaogang is always a little short of a real film master.
Whether it is "1942" directed by him with great painstaking efforts, or "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" that played with an arc lens this time.
"1942" he wanted to show the suffering of people who relied on the background of war, morality, reason, physical and mental torment, death and other issues. Its value is not worth mentioning at all in the face of the Apocalypse of War.
As for "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", to be honest, it is of the same type as "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" filmed by the second national teacher in 1992, but the gap between the two is really big.
It's been twenty-four years!
Feng Xiaogang's current level is still not as good as Zhang Yimou at the beginning!
This is also the reason why "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" can win the Golden Lion Award, but "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was not even shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival!
In fact, just look at the names of netizens for these two people, Zhang Yimou - National Teacher, Feng Xiaogang - Hu Shubao!
Speaking of box office, what is the global box office of "Hero"? 1.4 billion yuan!
In 2002 and 2003, the global box office sold 1.4 billion, which was the only film to win the North American weekly championship, and it was the two-week crown, and the box office in Japan and South Korea topped the box office.
Ang Lee's Oscar-winning work "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not have such a high box office!
Forget it, comparing these two people, I always feel a little sorry for the national teacher!
……
Beijing, Quadrangle.
Shen Lin looked at the media's various evaluations of Feng Xiaogang, and felt a little painful.
This time the public collectively talked about Feng Xiaogang, it should be Shen Linkai's head.
If it weren't for him pretending to say 'Feng Xiaogang is infinitely close to the master', there would be no such thing!
"What did you think at the time?"
Zhao Liying sat cross-legged on the sofa, glanced at Shen Lin, and asked casually.
"I'm just telling the truth, there's no hype at all. ”
"So what now?"
"I don't know!"
Shen Lin replied immediately, and the two of them asked and answered, if someone else came in, they didn't know what the two were talking about.
"Why don't you make a statement..."
Before making a suggestion, Zhao Liying immediately stopped talking.
It's not advisable, not to mention that Shen Lin's statement at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and Shen Lin is definitely not happy.
"What statement did I make? I didn't say the wrong thing, do you think a director like Feng Xiaogang can be regarded as a master?"
The word master is the abbreviation of a certain industry leader in China.
Speaking of domestic directors alone, in addition to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and Feng Xiaogang, Shen Lin must be added to the directors who can be called great directors.
But if you really want to be a master, only Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are recognized, although Shen Lin does not belong to these two at all in terms of winning awards and box office, but his qualifications are far from enough, so he cannot be called a master.
Feng Xiaogang created Feng's comedy, which is indeed the leader in commercial genre films, but it can only be like this, once it enters other themes, it is more than one and a half stars.
Although his art background brought Feng Xiaogang a different from the old-fashioned craftsmanship of the academic school, it also limited his upper limit, and his aesthetics and experience determined that the highest achievement in his life may be the trilogy "See You or Leave", "Party A, Party B" and "Endless" at the turn of the century
Once he gets involved in the Hollywood model, he becomes a director!
"But he is Feng Xiaogang, no matter what, he is also my Bole, and he is your guide!"
Zhao Liying looked at Shen Lin, who was still playing with his mobile phone.
"You're talking!"
"What can I say?"
Shen Lin put down his phone a little helplessly and glanced at his daughter-in-law: "The slag waves have put the interview on the homepage of Weibo, if I jump out now and say something 'I think Feng Xiaogang is a contemporary master', don't you think it's too flattering?"
"That's better than nothing!"
Li Ying muttered, and then changed the subject: "How did you come up with the idea of filming "Wolf Warrior 2"?"
“… You don't know what kind of character I have? Wu Jingdu is about to cry, did I refuse?"
Shen Lin glanced at Zhao Liying, who was so happy that his gums were exposed.
It took a long time for Li Ying to stop laughing: "... By the way, what happened to Lu Han? He didn't trouble you later?"
"Walter, he's making trouble for me?"
Shen Lin looked at Zhao Liying, and his face was full of 'Are you kidding?'
"It's already good if I don't look for him, what else does he dare to do?"
"I heard that his agent is amazing, and he must have the means to make him the first little fresh meat in China!"
"And then?"
“… I'm not worried about his brains!"
"No matter how much you have the means, a small workshop can't fight a big media company!"
Shen Lin really didn't care about the counterattack of Lu Han's team, "Moreover, their team had a bad relationship with Huayi because of the previous "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and now they have a conflict with us because of "Wolf Warrior 2", I really doubt the IQ of his agent you said!"
“… Congratulations yet, the box office of "Captain Touching Gold" surpassed "The Mermaid" and became the domestic box office champion!"
The little couple is just talking nonsense, and they can talk about whatever they want.
"Touching the Golden Captain" was released for 18 days, and the cumulative box office reached 3.6 billion, successfully throwing the box office result of "Mermaid" of 3.34 billion to the second place in film history.
"Something to be expected!"
Shen Lin's face was stinky, as if he didn't feel that he was the one who had the most 3 billion domestic box office of "Touching the Golden Captain" before the release.
"How much do you think the final box office of "Captain Touching Gold" will be?"
"This depends on whether "The Great Wall" is not powerful, but I estimate that it should be able to have a box office result of more than 4 billion. ”
Shen Lin thought about it and probably gave a number.
"The Great Wall" is not powerful, Shen Lin knows better than anyone else, "Touching the Golden Captain" is likely to create a jaw-dropping box office data.
"The Great Wall? do you mean Zhang Yimou's movie?"
Zhao Liying quickly realized what Shen Lin said about "The Great Wall", after all, the publicity and cast of this movie are indeed the largest existence in Chinese films.
Matt is cute, Andy Lau, Lin Gengxin, Huang Xuan, plus a lot of little fresh meat, by the way, there is also Sedum!
"Well, a domestic monster film that cost one billion yuan to build, you can go to the premiere with me tomorrow!"
Shen Lin has always maintained a good relationship with Zhang Yimou, and it is normal to invite him to attend the premiere of "The Great Wall".
In fact, when "The Return" was released, Zhang Yimou also invited Shen Lin to participate in the movie premiere, but Shen Lin was busy filming at that time and was really unavailable.
This time, Zhang Yimou invited again, and Shen Lin got the scene for whatever he said.
