When John King heard Shen Lin's answer, he immediately became interested.

After all, the whole United States, no, it should be said that the whole West is rehabilitating homosexuality, and LGBT is the hottest word in the world.

Ao Guanhai is really powerful, after coming to power, he didn't do a single practical thing, but did a bunch of bad things, LGBT, universal health insurance!

The most direct consequence of the LGBT hype is that discrimination against homosexuality is equivalent to racial discrimination!

Once populism rises, it's hard to suppress it.

John King followed up with a question, "Don't you support homosexuality?"

"No, John, if I wasn't for homosexuality, do you think I'd shoot Carol?"

Shen Lin hurriedly denied it, specially, if it was revealed at this time that he was opposed to the legalization of homosexuality, let alone the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, it is estimated that he will not even be able to stay in the United States, no, it is estimated that he will not even be able to stay in China, after all, there are a bunch of well-known idle eggs in China who often post some flirtatious articles and various hints to promote the legalization of homosexuality!

"Shen Lin, can you talk about your idol? Many people have commented that you will be 'the next Steven Spielberg', what do you think?"

"Haha, really? It's the first time I've heard someone say that about me. ”

Shen Lin smiled, and there was no expression of honor or anger on his face, as if being compared to Steven Spielberg was just an innocuous normal thing for him.

"Actually, I've always liked director Tornatore, I was first interested in movies, and I fell in love with movies because of his Cinema Paradiso..."

"So, your idol is Tornatore, not Stephen?"

John King interjected as a matter of course.

"No, I have a lot of respect for the masters of cinema,"

Shen Lin sorted out his words for a while, and then said: "Whether it's Tornatore or Hitchcock, Francis Coppola, and of course Stephen, their films have opened the door to a new world for me, but I don't think I can reach the level of a master. ”

"Why? You know, many people already call you 'the next master'!"

I go, where are so many next?

“… Times are changing, and in my opinion, directors must understand that they want their works to be accepted by the audience, and they must keep up with the pace of the times. ”

"However, true masters lead the times. ”

"That's why I said I can't become a master!"

"Haha, Shen, you are the most interesting director I have ever seen!"

John King laughed, presumably thinking that Shen Lin's answer was just the humility peculiar to Orientals.

Shen Lin could only laugh dryly, he didn't know what was ridiculous about this thing.

"By the way, Shen, do you know the news that Chinese capital has begun to enter Hollywood frantically in recent years?"

John King, after all, is a professional journalist, laughed twice and continued his interview.

"I know. ”

Shen Lin nodded, after all, this thing is already a well-known thing in the circle.

"So do you think that's a good thing for the movie?"

"Of course, North America is the world's largest box office market, and China is currently the world's second largest market, so the potential is endless, and the cooperation between the two sides is certainly a good thing. ”

"However, a lot of people worry that if our films start to please the Chinese government, they will lose their own characteristics..."

"Isn't this always the case in Hollywood? Big-budget movies are always for the global market, and I don't understand why you are so hostile to Chinese capital. ”

Shen Lin looked at John King seriously: "Is it also sinful for us to invest in you?"

“… As a director, do you think the development of modern technology is a kind of progress or regression for films?"

John King was a little stunned and didn't know what to say, looked down at his notebook, and asked the next question.

Shen Lin still didn't think much about it: "Of course it's a kind of progress, just like VCD is replaced by DVD, technology has always been the first element to promote the image, with digital photography, it reduces the difficulty of shooting a movie, and many people can be directors!"

"While film artists are promoting traditional art forms, they are also exposed to the impact of modern technology – this is an inevitable challenge for artists. However, movies can be regarded as a product of science and technology, so they face more and greater impacts. ”

"Now that you're one of the most famous directors in the world, has that made a difference to your work and life?"

"It's going to be a little different, the public's demands on me will get higher and higher, but I have a clear understanding of myself, I'm a filmmaker and a storyteller, and what I think is the audience's business, I don't have an answer here. However, what I want to do is to feel for each film, and then faithfully show my feelings about the world and my creative feelings to the audience. ”

John King's notebook finally turned to the last page.

He asked, "Have you ever thought about the future? Many people think that you can build a bridge between Eastern and Western cultures through your movie..."

"I'm not that great, I think it's better to leave cultural communication to the government, and I'd better make my movies with peace of mind!"

Shen Lin directly interrupted his questioning.

Why does everything have to be so profound?

"What are your plans for the future?"

It's ready to wrap up.

"I'm probably going to be busy filming a big production of tomb robbers for the next three years... No, it should be said that it is an adventure-themed movie, and then I will try to find time to dig out some new domestic filmmakers, of course, I want to spend more time with my family, I have been busy filming for so many years, and I rarely have time to spend with them, I feel very guilty. ”

"Hehe, many actors or directors are like this! Speaking of discovering new filmmakers, do you have a specific plan?"

"Well, in June this year, I will participate in the Xining Youth Film Festival as a judge..."

"West... Xining?"

John King had apparently never heard of the festival, and even Xining had trouble spelling it out.

"It's a city in our country, you can go and see it, it's beautiful..."

"But can a film festival alone unearth new filmmakers?"

John King was still a little confused.

"In fact, every province in our country basically has a corresponding film festival to encourage new filmmakers, and the Xining Youth Festival is a film festival with relatively large influence, and many filmmakers, especially new directors, will regard participating in the Xining Film Festival as a very honorable thing. ”

"What would you do?"

"I will invest in the first three works of the directors I am optimistic about, after all, no matter how talented a director is, he needs to be trained in his works. ”
