In fact, it is very contradictory that film has been evaluated as the seventh art from its birth.

Because art has always been high and low, and film production needs to cost a lot of money, it is inevitable that it needs to be loved by the public through broadcasting, so as to recover the cost and even make a profit.

No one wants their films, even the most selfish directors, to be liked by the public and sell at a good price.

But here comes the problem again, what the public likes has always been the most popular thing, and popular this thing is contrary to the artistry of the movie.

That's the contradiction.

Usually, after gaining commercial pursuits, great directors will turn to artistry, or after becoming artistic, they will try to make commercially comparative works.

It's normal, people always have to be a little bit of pursuit.

Feng Xiaogang is such a director.

People's original IP attribute is Feng's comedy, I guess I feel that I am old, or seniority, the group of people who pressed him at the beginning died, and he quit, he may feel that at this time, if he doesn't make some works of celebrity film history, he will be sorry for himself.

So he did!

"1942", a good work, it can be seen that Feng Xiaogang has a very strong historical sensitivity and a sense of responsibility as a great director!

Few directors are willing to make such films with themes that don't please the audience.

Jiang Wen once did it and filmed "The Devil is Coming", but unfortunately, it was banned.

Zhang Yimou also did this, filmed "Alive", and the whole movie was banned!

Nowadays, most directors want to make a lot of money, and all they think about is the box office of the movie, especially when Zhang Yimou is also dedicated to commercial masterpieces, there is always someone in the Chinese film industry who is willing to tell all directors that movies are not only commercial films!

If Feng Xiaogang goes down that road, then what he has done is worthy of everyone's respect, and he is also worthy of the word film master.

It's a pity that he didn't, what did he do after "1942" lost?

immediately turned his head and produced "Private Custom", to put it bluntly, he immediately returned to the urban light comedy route he was most familiar with.

The man of the chicken thief is always the chicken thief!

Last year's "Lao Paoer" made Feng Xiaogang completely 'enlightened', why am I so afraid?

I'm the sixth master!

What if you lose?

At least it proves that the guys are amazing!

What I'm going to do now is a drama, not a comedy!

"I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was produced in this context.

……

Shen Lin's own IP power is enough for him not to go through the publicity of the variety show "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward", as long as he announces the release time of "Touching the Golden Captain" on Weibo, it can be guaranteed that it will definitely trigger a frenzy of movie-watching.

This is also the focus of this campaign.

Several actors arranged a few variety shows, and Shen Lin arranged a few high-level college roadshows!

ECNU is one of them, and it is the first stop!

Obviously, they want to take advantage of the recent whirlpool of public opinion of ECNU to make an article, it doesn't matter, this is a win-win result, for ECNU, they can wash their own national condemnation caused by the inappropriate remarks of an associate professor, and for Shen Lin, with the help of this public opinion, they can also promote "Touching the Golden Captain".

For movies, there is no so-called non-publicity at all, no matter how awesome the director is, no matter how awesome the work is, it also needs to be promoted!

Before the release of Cameron's "Avatar", Twentieth Century Fox invested $120 million in publicity!

Cameron is still like this, let alone Shen Lin!

Central China Normal University, Shen Lin's speech continued.

"Many people think that I don't like Hong Kong and Taiwan actors because their line skills or acting skills are not as good as those in our mainland, I have said so myself, but this is not the case, the main reason is that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are generally more expensive than us, take Peng Yuyan as an example, how much money I spent on him, do you know? close to six million, or because I am the director!"

"Of course, Peng Yuyan himself is still very good, and he is one of the more dedicated actors I have come into contact with. ”

"The reason why I looked for Peng Yuyan is because I want to tell the audience that this movie is definitely a movie worth watching for all Chinese in the three regions of the Taiwan Strait. ”

"Many people say that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a book about how to rob tombs, they are right, probably the content is indeed tomb robbery, but this involves a lot of folklore, in fact, I don't know anything about tomb robbery, a lot of information is I consult from the library, including the tools used in tomb robbery, formation distribution, dragon points are all derived from ancient Feng Shui. ”

"I made this series, in addition to making up for the gap in the theme of adventure in domestic films, more importantly, I wanted to spread things that condense ancient Chinese wisdom such as feng shui and formations to foreign countries. ”

"Alright, now everyone is free to ask questions!"

Shen Lin put down the microphone in his hand.

"Director Shen, do you think it's a bit inappropriate to call an actor a play? Also, do you think it's too far-fetched to implicate the entire school because of a professor's inappropriate remarks?"

As soon as the words fell, a classmate sitting in the front row stood up, looking a little excited.

Understandable.

For everyone, the alma mater is something you can complain about casually, and once someone says something bad, you feel like you're insulting your own existence!

This time Fan Bingbing's incident, the entire Internet was filled with voices aimed at China Normal University.

At first, only Fan's brain-dead fans attacked, and then a bunch of big Vs led the rhythm, plus the associate professor's Weibo did have a bunch of insulting remarks about the entertainers, and then the masses collectively raised their heads, and they aimed at the associate professor, and by the way, they also aimed at the very innocent China Normal University.

"You sit down first, don't get so excited. ”

Shen Lin stood up from his chair.

"The word opera was used to call artists in ancient times, we all know that we all know that 'the drama is meaningless, and the table is ruthless', from this level, calling an actor an actor is indeed a bit too much! After all, our country has determined the equality of professions since 1949, and every profession should be respected, so the associate professor said that Fan is a drama, which is definitely discriminatory, but..."

"However, there must be some people who like celebrities and some people who hate them, you like me, you can call me Director Shen, hate me, or call me behind my back as a cheater of the audience's money, I don't care, Fan can accurately find that Weibo from so many Weibo on the Internet, and fight back so beautifully, the whole thing is dramatic, it can make a movie!"

"As for what you said that because of a professor's inappropriate remarks, the entire school is involved, and even all the teachers and students in the school, I don't think there is anything wrong with this logically, don't be in a hurry to deny it, you can simply hate this idol itself because of a certain brainless fan, and you must be able to understand that netizens hate the whole school because of a certain professor, so as to deny the whole school, and the individual always represents the collective!"

"Director Shen, who do you think is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
