"China Film Report" has been committed to introducing the latest star information and interesting facts on the set.

Of course, they are quite concerned about such a major event as the Xining First Youth Film Festival, but because the official has not yet made it clear whether it supports or opposes it, the previous "China Film Report" can only roughly report in the form of interstitial newsletters.

This year is different, the king of sunglasses and Shen Lin are the judges together, and the influence of these two can be imagined, so it is reasonable that Yang Ma should also do an exclusive interview - although there is only about five minutes of time to show her face.

"Then after watching these directors' debuts, do you have anything in particular that you would like to say?"

"At first, I came with the level of understanding young directors, but after I arrived, I found that these independent filmmakers were still playing the same game as the previous directors, and to be honest, I was quite disappointed. ”

Shen Lin shook his head, and then said: "There are many new directors who want to show people that he is a director in their first work, so they add leftovers in all kinds of self-righteousness, and then make a story that was originally not bad into four pieces! Why not do the most basic things well?"

"The most basic?"

"Telling a complete story is the most basic requirement of a movie. ”

The funny thing is that most of the professional directors in the country can't do this most basic requirement!

"Isn't there any surprise?"

"I saw two pretty good movies, one called "August" and the other called "Happy Funeral"..."

"Can you talk about it specifically?"

"Forget it, I'm a judge after all, and the rules that should be followed still have to be followed, wait a few more days, and when the results come out, let's have a good chat." ”

Shen Lin didn't think about it, and refused directly.

"What does it mean to you to be part of this festival?"

Li Mi probably wanted to sensationalize, but unfortunately she found the wrong object.

“… I also think I'm quite stupid, put down my work and look at the immature works of a bunch of people. ”

Although the other party was already quite tactful, Li Mi was still uncomfortable and retorted: "But this represents the vitality and diversity of our Chinese films..."

“…”

"Director Shen, what do you want to say?"

"Hehe, I said you can't broadcast it!"

Shen Lin set up the tea set in front of him, poured a cup for Li Mi, and poured himself a cup.

"Let's talk about something that can be broadcast!"

Shen Lin took a sip of tea and took the initiative to relieve the siege.

"That's... Let's talk about the film festival, Wang Jiawei is the president of the jury this year, how do you feel about him?"

"He has his own film philosophy, I and he can be said to be two kinds of people who are completely opposite, two kinds of directors, he likes to take his time when making films, there are few directors who are willing to spend so long on a film, I can't, if I can't finish a project in a year, I will be in a hurry and can't sleep. ”

"What about the others, for example, Tang Wei?"

"I've worked with her before and she's a good actor. ”

……

After entering July, the mainland film industry is still like a bird, soft to death.

In fact, although the box office of "Warcraft" released on June 8 exceeded 800 million in three days and 1 billion in five days, the stamina was really insufficient, and as of early July, the cumulative box office of the movie "Warcraft", which was released for almost 20 days, was only less than 1.5 billion.

This is a monster that claims to surpass "Avatar"!

Negative growth is an eye-catching word that has begun to appear in the domestic film market since it entered the second quarter, and for three consecutive months, the domestic box office has seen negative growth!

However, the summer season has always been one of the most rapidly growing periods at the box office, and if you can make good use of these two months, it is still possible for the box office to achieve the big goal of 50 billion.

As for the 60 billion target estimated by some industry insiders, it is estimated that there is no hope!

Because the three Hollywood blockbusters of "Warcraft", "Independence Day 2" and "Amazing Thieves 2" were screened in June, many domestic films can only choose to avoid it, Adu is quite awesome, and he insisted that "Independence Day 2" and "Amazing Thieves 2" were released, and they received a poor reputation, and the box office almost failed to break 100 million!

Most of the movies that have been shifted are concentrated in July, "Bounty Hunter", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows", "Cold War 2", "Dream Giant", "To Youth: So You Are Still Here", "Tarzan Returns", "Jedi Escape", there are too many, together, nearly 80 movies will be released throughout July, of which only two are Hollywood blockbusters.

It stands to reason that with so many movie genres, "Jedi Escape" and "Legend of the Gods" have all received a guaranteed release of 1 billion, which is said to be more than last year's summer file, which should be very simple.

Then, the feedback from the market was jaw-dropping.

Entering the first week of July, except for the day of July 2, because of the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", the single-day box office exceeded 200 million, and the remaining six days were all below 100 million, and the market fell to the bottom!

Although the premieres of the five movies "Cold War 2", "To Youth: So You Are Still Here", "Big Fish and Begonia", "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" and "Clockwork City" on July 8 brought the market hot, it only lasted for three days, and the market did not exceed 150 million for two full weeks.

In such a cold schedule, "July and Ansheng" was released.

……

"No, I don't think so, I still think that "Happy Funeral" is more suitable for the best work, this film shows the most real place in the backward countryside..."

"However, I think 'August' is more suitable, showing signs of a change in an entire era through the eyes of a child..."

"Do you think 'August' is a good fit? I can't even understand what it's trying to say!"

"It's like a lot of people can't understand "Chongqing Forest" but still think it's a classic?"

Well, the above paragraph is the quarrel between the King of Sunglasses and Lin Shao.

The king of sunglasses strongly supports "Happy Funeral", and he firmly believes that this movie has the flavor of "Tokyo Story", with a cold and rigorous style...

"In 1953, Yasujiro Ozu made "Tokyo Story", and the world saw a very dignified father, and this year, a Chinese director responded to him, and the Chinese mother is very strong. ”

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Wang Jiawei actually began to give examples.

"You think it's a kind of strength? She killed herself!"

Shen Lin suddenly felt ridiculous, discussing rural ethics with such preconceived people was simply a human tragedy.

"No, she gave up her life for the sake of her family!"

The king of sunglasses is very solemn.

“… Summer insects can't be spoken!"

Shen Lin glanced at the King of Sunglasses, shook his head, turned around and walked out of the small conference room.

After he left, everything had nothing to do with him, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the awards awarded by this group of people didn't have a share of "August" from beginning to end, Shen Lin wouldn't have been so excited.

After all, even "The Evil One" has an "Best Artistic Exploration" award, so why not give the award to comfort "August"?
