Chapter 70:, I Can't Take It Anymore!
Shen Lin has always despised the minority, and from the bottom of his heart, he decided that movies should be for the public.
Unless you're Woody Allen, unless you're a genius like the Coen brothers who can make niche themes amazing, it's normal that no one likes your movie!
He chose to participate in the Xining Youth Film Festival this time, really letting go of his insistence on aesthetics and wanting to cleanse his soul.
After all, I can be boasted by a bunch of literary, saying that the Xining Film Festival is the vitality of Chinese films, symbolizing the future of Chinese films, and so on.
He thought it was true!
Oh, it's so beautiful!
Independent films are always independent films, and occasionally a few pop up, and that's also a real genius, how many directors do you see who always stick to their creative ideas?
Except for narcissistic directors like Wang Xiaoshuai.
He began to reflect on whether what he had done over the years had given a view of the Virgin.
Or does it give people the idea of being wronged?
You are a director who makes money from commercial films, why do you have to care about Chinese films?
You yourself represent Chinese cinema!
It also spends 20 million yuan every year to sponsor the Xining Youth Film Festival, is it stupid to want these directors to have better conditions to make movies?
Why are you doing any online literary and art theaters, and you have a sick brain?
After going back, you must discuss it with Fang Jianhao and Chen Yang, Shen Lin is not a Kaizi!
……
In the next two days, Shen Lin had to watch "Conservative Land", "In Winter", "Evil" and "Wild Great Wall" with a calm appearance throughout the whole process, until "Wild Great Wall", he couldn't help it at all, and he left directly after seeing half of it!
MMP, what the hell is this!
To be honest, after watching "Happy Funeral" on the first day, he has lowered his requirements for the debut films of these directors, as long as he can roughly tell a complete story, he thinks it's okay.
It's a pity that the Xining Film Festival is not Sundance after all, and these directors are not independent filmmakers in Hollywood.
The topics focused on are also imaginary topics, such as "Conservative Land".
Director Cui Yingjie is old and ingenious, and his college background is fully revealed!
Whether it is the dialogue, symbols or theme of the whole film, it is difficult for this kind of domestic independent film with a rural inferior theme to produce results if it is so self-contained, let alone critical.
The whole movie is full of the director's own self-esteem, much like Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu", but unfortunately "Xiao Wu" is still novel in 20 years, and now it is 2016, and there is really nothing to say about talking about such a theme!
"In Winter" is even more ridiculous, director Xing Jian probably thinks that many people have not seen "The Horse of Turin", and the choice of theme is not so much a reference as plagiarism.
The so-called empty mountains, inner loneliness, and vicissitudes of old age? In fact, they are empty and pale, Xing Jian, Hou Xiaoxian, Cai Mingliang and others think that the voting of the judges of the film festival is high in literature and art?
The only highlight of the whole movie is probably the picture, and the black and white images do add a lot of points.
Seeing the end of the whole article, Shen Lin muttered in his heart: Xing Jian definitely has a background!
The end credits soundtrack list saw Liu Sola, Liu Yijun and Wu Na, please really move!
This kind of movie is Shen Lin's most disgusting, there is no one!
The movie "The Evil" gave Shen Lin a little surprise, because this is a low-cost work in the true sense of the word - the cost is only 70,000!
What's more, it's not enough to buy a car!
After understanding these innate conditions, Shen Lin was ready to be uncomfortable watching the movie caused by violent shaking like "Blair the Witch".
Or be shocked by the actors' performances.
All of the above can be tolerated, whether it is the performance of the actors or the garbage of the picture.
Saying that it is pleasantly surprised, of course, is not to say how good this movie is, it is 108,000 miles away from "The Grudge", "Midnight Bell" and "The Conjuring", but in the context of Chinese horror films, you will find that it is not bad!
It's better than those wild models showing their flesh, what horrors, what deaths, and so on.
As we all know, Chinese horror films have become a fixed, sarcastic phrase.
The audience, including many practitioners themselves, think down on it.
China's special restriction mechanism also makes the room for this type of film to maneuver unusually small.
It gradually degenerates into an impossible joke, trapped in a cycle of shoddy production and ridicule.
People have a minimum of expectations and gloat over how each so-called horror film ends.
Another point, "The Evil" can make Shen Lin see the shining point, the most important thing is that if he is asked to run this movie, he can easily operate it to a box office of more than 100 million!
However, Shen Lin was still thinking about whether to take advantage of his reputation to do this.
After all, "The Evil One" is really not a good work, and the theme of pseudo-documentaries is inherently disliked by many people!
No reason can hide the simplicity of a work, you are the director!
After thinking about it, Shen Lin called Xiao Xu and asked him to get the phone number of director Ma Kai - such a movie needs to be reshot!
Then, on the afternoon of the third day, "The Wild Great Wall" completely disgusted Shen Lin!
The director of "The Wild Great Wall" is Gu Wei, who is considered a senior film practitioner, and has served as the screenwriter of Gu Changwei and Chen Guohui.
Obviously, this is a person who didn't even understand the work of a screenwriter, and then came to steal the director's job.
There are very few movies that can make Shen Lin unable to sit still for even ten minutes, and they are one in a thousand.
The whole movie is a piece of!
To put it simply, a migrant worker falls in love with a female college student, and then kidnaps her to the Great Wall to confess.
According to the words of a group of volunteers who were selected in the first place: 'Gu Wei's directorial debut "The Great Wall", which served as a screenwriter for Gu Changwei, has carried out a film walk of "small space and big narrative", and the limitation of a single space has high requirements for directorial skills and script perfection. ’
It is estimated that after watching this movie, these volunteers don't really want to choose, but there is no way, people have a background, the screenwriter directed by Gu Changwei!
It doesn't matter which of Gu Changwei's movies he is the screenwriter!
Seniority can come in handy anywhere.
Well, that's it.
In the first five minutes of the movie, Shen Lin could barely watch it, but by the tenth minute, he couldn't hold back anymore!
"I'm sorry, I'm going to be fair, this isn't a movie at all!"
Secretly complained, Lin Shao got up, and prepared to leave the viewing hall without saying a word.
"Director Shen, why are you leaving?"
Tang Wei shouted without sight.
"Well, it's a little uncomfortable, I want to go out and get some fresh air. ”
Shen Lin said very tactfully.
"Director Shen is probably the first time to be a judge, and the responsibility of the judge is to watch each work well, and then give his own opinion..."
Liao Qingsong glanced at Shen Lin and said a 'fair word'.
"I'm sorry, then I'll tell you my opinion, I have a limit to the movie..."
