The three major directors in the mainland appeared at the premiere of "Carol" at the same time, and the explosion of this news instantly became the top of the Weibo hot search list.

Although Shen Lin's name as a genius has spread almost all over China in the past four years, compared to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, or even Feng Xiaogang, the national popularity must be discounted.

Zhang Yimou, the only director known by many people in China, has too many awesome things, and the most awesome thing is, of course, directing the 08 BJ Olympics;

Brother Chen Kai, a director whose fame is second only to Zhang Yimou, his fame mainly has two parts: infamy and prestige;

Feng Xiaogang, the accumulation of more than ten years, made him the last director with the most box office appeal in China!

Perhaps, in the hearts of many netizens, Shen Lin's historical status has surpassed these three, but looking at the whole of China, he is far from enough.

Shen Lin's official Weibo discussion group:

"I'll go, the boss is blowing up the sky this time!"

"I was on the scene, there were many celebrities, I just found out that I was a little face blind!"

"Where did you get the ticket?" Yang Hua

"Hehe, the leader of the group gave it greatly!"

"PY deal!"

"PY Deal +1!" "Great as I am."

“… I want it too, I want it, I want it too, I can also be one meter five!"

"Get out!"

……

"Director Shen, many people especially want to know why you suddenly announced the release of the movie?"

The moderator is Xie Nan.

Shen Lin specially asked her to help host this premiere.

"No way, Bill, that is, my agent in the United States, contacted me and said that he was going to release "Carol", I was afraid of being pirated, so I simply released it in China first!"

You can't just say that it's just for "Charlotte's Troubles"!

What Shen Lin said is also in line with the facts, Thanksgiving is coming, and "Carol" is about to be released.

However, Bill can only contact less than 500 theaters for "Carol" to be willing to show "Carol", after all, this is a beautiful romance film with a particularly strong literary nature.

Generally, the box office performance of this kind of film will not be very good.

But as long as the results of a single museum meet the standard, there is still a good chance of long-term screening.

"Are you talking about the piracy of "Hong Kong"?"

"That's right, "Carol" is not a 3D movie, once the source of the film is leaked, the theater chain will not be able to show it!"

These two lines of dialogue are the scripts that have been spoken to before.

It is obvious to express the condemnation of the piracy of "Hong Kong".

"Director Shen, we know that your tolerance for bad movies is almost zero, especially some bad movies with a high box office. ”

“… It's not against a certain person or a certain director, unless I really can't stand it, otherwise, I will never speak casually, after all, no one gives me money!"

"And what would you say of your movie 'Carol'?"

"In fact, when I changed the script, I knew that the film would definitely be liked by most people, but it would definitely not be good at the box office. Sure enough, after the film was completed, our entire crew breathed a long sigh after watching it, not only thinking it was exciting, but also thinking that such a movie was a bit out of place!"

"How?"

"Personally, I think so... There was a bunch of big people sitting in the audience, listening to me a young man beep... I'm going to talk about my personal understanding of movies and box office. ”

Shen Lin first bowed slightly to several directors in the audience, and then spoke: "Times are changing, and the current young generation sitting in the cinema don't want to feel great, let alone want to know what human nature is, they just want to be simple, laugh out loud or be moved, which literary films can't do!"

"In fact, the audience of genre films or art films in any country is limited, after all, many people go to the movies more for leisure, rather than spending two hours in dullness. ”

"Not to mention Hollywood, even if it is Europe, the mecca of art films, and a country with mature niche art theaters like France, the top ten or even top 20 at the box office every year are all commercial films, and art films have to stand aside. So expecting art films to earn box office is inherently unscientific!"

"Therefore, when I make literary films, I have one purpose, exquisite, of course, it may be that the director's level or aesthetics are limited, so far, I have not made a work that I am particularly satisfied with. ”

"Carol is definitely a work that I didn't dare to surpass until I was forty years old, because when I was writing the script, I obviously felt that I was not enough. It's a feeling I've never experienced since I became a director, but the actors did a great job and completely covered up some of the nothingness. ”

"If I had to evaluate "Carol" myself, I would probably say that it is not a classic, but it is definitely suitable for two people. ”

Having said a lot, I still want to sell tickets!

“… Thank you, Director Shen Lin, by the way, Director Shen, can you ask, do you expect the box office of this movie?"

"Well, to be honest, I don't have any expectations for the box office of this movie, as long as someone is willing to watch it. ”

Shen Lin pondered for a moment and replied.

"Then there should always be a number, you look at the media and reporters in the field, why do you have to give them an explanation, right?"

Xie Nan pointed to the audience under the stage, and sure enough, a bunch of reporters were busy taking pictures.

"Think about it, 800 million! 800 million should be about the same!"

“… 800 million is also called no expectation?"

Not only was Xie Nan's face incredulous, but even several actors on the stage, including Zhao Liying, Gong Li, and Chen Daoming, were very surprised.

Not to mention the audience and guests in the audience.

"Is 800 million too much?"

Shen Lin's eyes widened, as if he had been insulted.

“…”

Xie Nan was just about to say something, but suddenly it occurred to her that the director opposite her was now called Shen Lin!

"My work, no matter how bad it is, there should be a box office of 500 million, plus a Palme d'Or and two Cannes actress trophies, just 800 million. ”

Shen Lin snapped his fingers and counted carefully.

In fact, everyone knew that he might get something out of it.

Who would have thought that the confidence of this product is simply incomprehensible.

Who do you think you are?

Literary films won 800 million at the box office?

At the beginning, there was so much foreshadowing, and the box office of literary and artistic films from various angles was definitely not high, and now it is said that the box office is 800 million?

Although the recognized four words 'Shen Lin's works are real money, at least 500 million box office, but that is for some specific works.

Don't you see that the box office of "Dallas Buyers Club" in China is only more than 300 million, so it is still the Oscar Best Picture!

Most of the reporters in the audience were very excited - it was rare to see Shen Lin being slapped in the face!

Although "Carol" has not been released in China, the style of the film, including the rhythm and content, has long been disclosed by a bunch of reporters who have participated in the Cannes Film Festival.

Although the quality is well-known, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a box office expressive work!
