Chapter 36 The Controversial "Chinese Partner"

Regarding the movie "Chinese Partner", the audience has mixed reviews, many people like it, and some people don't like it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As the first film in mainland China to reflect entrepreneurship, "Chinese Partner" obviously did not do well enough, especially since it chose a company like New Oriental that has been criticized in various ways as the prototype.

But purely from a movie point of view, this is a very good movie, the scene art costumes are very good, and the details are absolutely in place.

The university atmosphere in the early 80s in the film was fierce and hot, forge ahead, and the generation after the resumption of the college entrance examination firmly believed that they were awesome and talented, could change the world, had ideals and missions, and the best department was literature, history and philosophy rather than economics and finance, and was very literary and artistic.

The popular ones are Gu Chengbei Island's "Selected Misty Poems" Robert Frost Teresa Teng and Cui Jian. After identifying the girl, she chased after her with all her might, and did not hit the south wall and did not look back.

The editing is very clear, there are no waste shots, the rhythm is also very suitable for the public to watch, the atmosphere is slowly created when talking about love, the business war is sharp and fast, and the jokes and complaints are arranged just right.

In terms of acting, except for a few students who play students, there is basically nothing to criticize!

In terms of story, some people commented on Chen Kexing, 'If you want to see a good story, you can watch Chen Kexing's movie!'

Of course, it refers to the film he personally directed, and the producer said otherwise.

"Director Chen, is it true that in China, success means having a successful career and money? Don't you think this kind of success is too narrow?"

The reporter from Nandu is still unrelenting.

"How to say, the script of this movie was written by me three years ago, when I was in the United States, there are many scenes in it, including the definition of success is my idea at that time, I can say responsibly that this movie reflects a certain form of success that Chinese think at the moment! Although it will make everyone feel a little chilly, I still want to say this!"

Shen Lin thought for a moment and replied honestly.

"But cinema is for human beings to dream! It is art! It should not reflect that! Lacan once said, 'The mirror phase is when a person is between 6 and 18 months..."

"I see what you mean, I've read Lacan's books too!"

Interrupting the reporter's pretending behavior, Shen Lin assured the students in the audience: "This "Chinese Partner" is a bit lacking in values, but from the perspective of film, it can definitely be called a conscientious production, whether it is the performance of the actors or the director's intentions! I suggest you go to the cinema to watch it." ”

"As for this reporter, you don't quite understand the pressure of marketization on us filmmakers, you make a movie, but you don't want to make money? Is it possible?"

"Don't talk to me about any dreams, let me say a very realistic question, if this "Chinese Partner" loses money, Director Chen will never receive any opportunity to shoot a big-budget movie from now on!"

Chen Kexing's 2011 and 2012 are the lowest points in his life, not only did the "Martial Arts" produced by him hit the streets, but the producer's "Blood Drops" hit the streets, and even his mother died!

Two movies hit the street in a row, even if there is no name for a famous director, it is a little embarrassing!

Investors are not fools, how can they touch their brows, in case they lose money!

Shen Lin is right, there are very few such things as pick-up men in the entertainment industry!

In China, Nima, a group of capital predators waved the checks in their hands, poached people, set up projects, and who were the investors of the original "Chinese Partner"? Wang Shi!

"The story of entrepreneurship is difficult to tell, if it is too realistic, it is impossible to broadcast it, but if it is detached from reality, it will seem very fake, Director Chen has almost done it to the extreme, you see, there are more gray hairs on his head!"

The scene was a little serious, and Shen Lin made a joke.

"Then Director Shen, what is your box office estimate for this movie?"

Reporter of NetEase News.

"I'm so helpless, when I was a director, you cared about the box office, and now that you're a screenwriter, you still have to care about the box office?

Shen Lin spread his hands and pushed Chen Kexing out with a smile.

"Director Shen, you forgot, you are still a producer and producer!"

Chen Kexing couldn't be so easy to get ahead, and immediately threw the topic to Shen Lin again.

"Really, I'm a producer?"

I'll go, it's really the first time that Shen Lin knows about this role!

"Then I'll make a bold prediction, in terms of the environment and language of the movie rendering, this movie is ahead of most domestic films, of course I hope that the higher the box office, the better!

Shen Lin probably thought about it, and then exploded a relatively scientific number.

"Won't it be higher than 1 billion? Director Chen, do you have any basis?"

The reporters off the field are energetic!

Not only reporters, but even the actors on the stage, including director Chen Kexing, all looked at Shen Lin.

"Hehe, of course I have my basis, but I won't say it, if I say it, my most powerful weapon will be gone!"

Shen Lin smiled mysteriously and did not say anything.

……

The premiere is over, but about "Chinese Partner" soars instantly!

is similar to Shen Lin's previous prediction, and the reputation is mixed.

"A clumsy inspirational drama that lacks historical details and takes out reality to pile up superficial symbols, as far as the drama is concerned, the biggest problem is that I don't understand what makes these people successful. In the end, the photos of real people are too bad, as if these unknown business elites are the historical truth of the Chinese dream!"

"At the moment, it's almost a [normal] good movie. Although there are various problems, it is not easy anymore. Our story, of course, has to be told in the end. ”

"This is the work of Chen Kexing, an activist who has entered D, I have not found a more profound work than this film to explain the Chinese dream, interpreting the Chinese dream, there is no more lively sample than the new dream. Standing Committee member Liu said that it is necessary to take the interpretation of the Chinese dream as the most important part of the current theoretical work. To be able to come up with such a popular work in such a short period of time, I express my sincere admiration for Shen Lin, the introducer of D, and Chen Kexing, the applicant. As soon as this film came out, the movies of the two great undertakings that started directly and put the theme first were simply weak. Compared with "October Siege", Chen Kexing is much more agile than before, and he dreams smoothly and naturally, he is worthy of an excellent activist who joins the party, may he have a good dream!"

In short, compared to Shen Lin's previous screenwriters and directors' works, the score is the lowest!

There are even many people who say that he plagiarized "Social Network", and Shen Lin did not respond to these at all!

Only once on Weibo.

On the one hand, there is no need to operate anything that meets expectations, on the other hand, with the controversy, the box office of "Chinese Partner" has been rising, and the box office on the first day of release on May 17 has reached 42 million yuan, and as of May 27, the box office has exceeded 420 million yuan!

and has always maintained the surging momentum of high-ranking films, high attendance, and good reputation, becoming Chen Kexing's highest-grossing work after entering the mainland.

But it is also the lowest box office performance of Shen Lin's screenwriter - only a little higher than "33 Days of Broken Love"!
