Chapter 42: The Interview (Part II)

Yang Yan must be a very thoughtful host, otherwise she would not have chosen to leave CCTV to study in the United States when she was the most popular. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Lin insisted on his own aesthetics, or he was also very stubborn in insisting on his own point of view, and neither of the two could convince anyone, and it seemed that they were about to quarrel.

In the end, Yang Yan gave in.

After all, she is the host.

"Then according to what you mean, our market, and even the entire sixth generation of directors, in your opinion, are very failures?"

"Sister Yan, I don't dare to say that, but from the perspective of investors, it is true!"

"But their films have won numerous awards!"

Yang is still holding on to what their generation is holding onto.

But in recent years, especially with the opening of the film market, the sixth-generation directors in your mouth seem to have become no longer so pure? Although the master is still alive, he can no longer make "Alive"!"

"That's because the requirements of the market make them nondescript!"

"Isn't this over, on the one hand, you want to maintain the artistry of the film, and on the other hand, you want to point to him to make money, how can there be so many masters?"

"But Hollywood's art films are still very marketable!"

Yang Yan seemed to want to prove something.

"For example, "The Shawshank Redemption", such as "Forrest Gump"?"

"That's what I mean!"

"It's a product of the North American cinema system, and there are some theaters in North America that specialize in showing art films, but we don't have them!"

"You mean our cinema system is unreasonable?"

"Every country's film system is slowly moving from unreasonable to reasonable, and at this stage, it is the world of commercial films, and if your film can't sell for money, you are a loser! This is a fait accompli, and we are powerless to change it!"

There is another sentence that Shen Lin did not say, and it would be a bit hurtful if he said it: movies are not self-congratulatory playthings, and films are made to be appreciated! I do not deny that the aesthetics of the current audience are somewhat extreme, but things that do not conform to the aesthetics of the public should not be manufactured!

"Okay, so you don't have the idea of making a pure art film?"

"Of course there is, but not now, it is estimated that it should be after five movies!"

Shen Lin thought for a moment before replying.

"Five films? Your plan is full?"

Yang Yan was a little surprised.

"Well, I will direct "Those Years" in the second half of the year, and next year I will shoot a story that reflects entrepreneurship, and I may go back to Hollywood to shoot a science fiction film in the second half of next year!"

"Sci-fi?"

"That's right!"

"Is it a science fiction film with pure Chinese characteristics?"

"No, it's a movie with Warner, the script has been written, the team is being prepared, and the producer is Nolan!"

"Really? Can you give me an idea? Is it a novel that you've already published?"

"It's definitely not an existing IP, and I really can't disclose other information casually. ”

Yang Yan nodded with some disappointment.

"Do you have a yearning for Hollywood?"

"Of course, any director must have a yearning for Hollywood!"

is just a talk show, but Shen Lin revealed several pieces of information that are enough to shock the entertainment industry.

has just completed a director's work, and he actually has to direct a Hollywood work!

Many netizens have discussed it on the Internet.

Many people speculate that what Shen Lin said has several layers of credibility, and of course, some people firmly believe it.

But being able to say it directly on TV shows that Shen Lin is still sure about this matter.

Especially Shen Lin mentioned Nolan, Nolan is the latest generation of Hollywood director, and he has countless fans in China!

The interview is still on the air.

"You don't seem to have much interest in adapting your own work?"

"Well, yes, I've spent months writing these things in the first place, like Tomb Raider Notes, which took years, and now I'm going to adapt them into a movie, which means I've spent years on them, and it's a waste of my life. But "Those Years" is different, it was my youth, and it means a lot to me!"

"I understand, that was your first work in the literary world!"

"That's right. ”

"Speaking of literature, in fact, looking at your works over the years, it seems that the production is slowly starting to decrease?"

"It's not that the production is reduced, it's just that I really don't have much time, and I don't have time to calm down and write, I've been busy as a screenwriter in the past few years, and I wrote three scripts some time ago, which is a series, and it has been handed over to Bao Ye. ”

"Master Bao, you mean Zhao Baogang!"

"Hmm. ”

"Not only have there been fewer works, but you seem to be deliberately starting to move in the direction of pure literature, as is evident in 1988 I Want to Talk to the World. ”

A book appeared in Yang Yan's hand, which was Shen Lin's "1988"

"It's not deliberate, it's just unconsciously writing a book, and after writing it, I think it's good, so I give it to the publishing house for them to publish!"

"I'll tell you the truth, if the author's name of this "1988" is not Shen Lin, it is estimated that it will not sell much!"

"Hehe, that's true, because modern people's way of thinking has become relatively fast, and they are less willing to accept works with depth. ”

"Another question, I find that in recent years you seem to have rarely or almost no reviews of a certain film work, is it because you entered the industry, out of taboo among peers or..."

"You can't say that, because I don't tell lies, so I don't say it. ”

"That's still out of taboo!"

"Let's put it this way, when you enter the industry, you always have a few friends or publishing companies that are your partners. When you see a bad movie and you want to scold it, and then you post a comment, netizens are happy and feel that you cater to their ideas, but it is very likely that your friend is the main creator of that movie, or the distribution company of this movie is your distribution company, which is very difficult to do!"

"Hehe, that's true!"

"So I stopped talking. ”

"Then if you put it to this point, you would still criticize "Three Shots""

"Well, I don't think so, but I'll probably tell my friends in private. ”

"Just no more public comments?"

"Well, it's hard for film critics to be objective!"

But Wang Sicong often criticizes Wanda's films. ”

"Is it? Wang Sicong is not a real film practitioner after all, and if he participates in film production, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to do so!"

"Another question, is the cycle of your film too short? I heard that it has not been a month since the start of filming and the completion of the filming!"

Shen Lin was about to get up and leave the studio, but he didn't expect Yang Yan to suddenly come and say.

"Let's put it this way, the industrial process of the film is not lazy, but our film was shot relatively smoothly, and the actors NG were very rare, but the pre-preparation took a long time, I started polishing the script in June last year, and the actors' schedule was signed for one month, and our post-production and shooting started at the same time. ”

"You're emphasizing industrial processes. ”

"That's right, I'm a person who likes industrial processes very much, and if the film shooting doesn't follow the process, then there must be something wrong with the image! Many actors now sign a movie in a month, and the actors are gone, what are we going to shoot? And I can guarantee that our absolute working hours are more than most domestic films. ”

"Okay, thank you Shen Lin. ”
