"I won't go to "Everyday Upward", let Yingbao go with Nie Yuan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It's really not that the suspects are not forced enough.

What if you go to "Everyday Upward", "Base Camp"?

This is his variety show debut to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

And after all, he is a director, so it's better not to show his head too much.

Recently, Shen Lin's appearance rate has overwhelmed most artists in the country, which is a bit too much for a person who does behind the scenes!

Shen Lin decided to be interviewed by a professional film media.

"Movie World" and "Popular Movie" sent out invitations one after another, and finally Shen Lin chose "Human Film Cannon".

The glory days of print media are over!

Many people of insight gathered together and formed a micro-film interview, which is "The Human Film Cannon".

……

The host is a **, named Xu Yuan, who used to be the editor-in-chief of "Film World" and the writer of "Popular Film".

is not too old, and he speaks with a big tongue, but fortunately, he is not bad, and he is a representative of Chinese film critics who is a little bit of a backbone!

"Director Shen, let's start!"

It's really an interview, except for a table, the rest of the room is enough space for two cameras.

Poor crew!

"Okay!"

Shen Lin and Xu Yuan sat opposite each other.

"Director Shen, "Super Body" is a science fiction film?"

"That's right, it's a small-budget sci-fi film. ”

"Small cost?"

"I'll give you an account, the investment in this movie is 30 million dollars, and in terms of salary, except for Mr. Morgan Freeman, who took 5 million, all the remaining actors together did not exceed 1 million. Seriously, if it weren't for the overseas market, I'd love to use all of our own actors!"

"Even so, the special effects of about 20 million are not high. ”

"Well, so, this movie can only be considered a B-grade production, and it's about a concept of what happens when the human brain is 100 percent developed. ”

"Brain domain development?"

"Actually, it's a boo, after all, the concept of brain domain development has been around for a long time, and this project was originally Luc Besson's, so I grabbed it!"

"I heard that this shooting only took a month and a half?"

"A month and a half is live-action shooting, and the entire special effects team and post-production have been busy for more than half a year!"

"Okay, let's talk about the sci-fi genre. Director Shen seems to have a soft spot for science fiction movies?"

"Is there one?"

""Interstellar" and "Super Body" are both science fiction films!"

"No, I'm still very casual in making movies, for example, after this "Super Body", I may make a police movie, or directly shoot the second part of "Veteran". ”

"But many people think that your appearance has triggered a national science fiction boom! As far as I know, there are at least five science fiction movies that have been filed in optoelectronics!"

"No, I made a "Interstellar", although that movie has invested more than half of the light, but after all, it belongs to Hollywood movies and has nothing to do with our country's film industry! I don't think it's a good time to shoot domestic science fiction films!"

"In fact, many people ask us, do we have to have science fiction movies in our country? Because there are many countries in this world that do not have science fiction movies. For example, Iran. ”

"Of course we need science fiction films! We are about to catch up with North America and become the world's largest film market, and in the last decade or two, two or three of the top 10 films in the North American film market have been science fiction movies every year. In other words, about 30% of high-grossing movies are sci-fi.

Obviously, whether it is from the perspective of market demand or from the drive of economic interests, we in China must make science fiction films. We especially need blockbusters of the genre of sci-fi. It's unimaginable that there are no domestic sci-fi films in such a big film market!"

"What type of science fiction movies do you think our country needs? Or in your opinion, how are Chinese science fiction movies worse than those of foreign countries?"

"I won't talk about such a clichΓ© as the industrial base, although it is the most important! I think it is still the director, we lack a patient director, is "Cyborg" and "Future Police" considered a science fiction movie? Surely, is it a bad movie? Whether it is the story structure or the analysis of special effects shots, it is an out-and-out bad movie! The appearance of these two movies has caused many audiences, including directors, to lose confidence in Chinese science fiction movies!"

"What's more, it makes investors lose confidence! Chinese film investors pay attention to making quick money, they think more about cost recovery and profits, and when it comes to using special effects, their first concern is whether the business is worth it. How much it helps the box office!"

"That's right, many investors want to make sci-fi films, but they want to make money, which is really contradictory!"

"Even if I said that I was going to make "Interstellar", many investors were not very confident in me, so the light only came out of 60 million, and I also invested 30 million myself, and I rarely invested in my own movies!"

"You are now a big fan of science fiction genres, from your point of view, what do you think our country's science fiction movies should do?"

"I think many directors or audiences have confused a concept, the core of science fiction movies is not special effects! Science fiction movies were born at the same time as horror films, or rather, it is a genre film derived from horror films, the earliest "Frankenstein" and "King Kong" are actually monster movies!"

"With the development of science fiction films today, its characteristics are becoming clearer and clearer, and it reflects people's fears and doubts about reality and the technological society. Therefore, how to make a good Chinese science fiction movie? We must have a reflective core, not just aliens, robots, lightsabers and other superficial elements, but also have a core idea, which must reflect the real society and technology. Some other films, such as romance movies, action movies, and thrillers, can be relatively pure movies, but science fiction movies must be closely related to reality!"

"This time, "Super Body" is to have a concept first, and then spread outward along the concept, forming a complete story. ”

"Of course, there's the censorship aspect, so I'm going to make the next 'Tomb Raiders' co-production, so that I can avoid a lot of harsh censorship regulations. ”

"Film censorship is a bit harsh!"

"What can we do? Our country is so big, and now there are more and more people making movies, if we don't set up a cordon, it will indeed lead to a lot of people with ulterior motives!"

"So, are you going to shoot "Tomb Robbery Notes" yourself?"

"I should have done the first two films, and I'm not interested in doing a project all the time. ”

"By the way, Director Shen, can you ask, why did you oppose Director Feng in public?"
