Chapter Seventy-One: Firm Faith
A group of literary and artistic youths in China are a very conceited group.
They feel that they are different, sensitive, moaning, hypocritical, even though they are penniless and do not eat the fireworks of the world, and they want to live a magnificent life even though they lack ideals.
Those who make literary movies have an innate talent in this area.
Shen Lin can't do it, it's too far away, he wants to live a wonderful life, so he has a plan, and slowly goes up step by step according to the plan, but this is fatal for literary and artistic youth, they feel that life should be blown out, what are you working hard for?
The ancients were cloudy, with poetry and books in their belly, Li Zehou or Zhang Yihe, these are real literature and art lovers, a comparison, you will find that most of the self-proclaimed literary and artistic young people really understand literature and art?
So, they will talk about literary films, why? Because no one is watching!
Liao Qingsong is an absolute lover of literary films, he is not only an editor himself, he has served as the editor of many literary film directors, and has also shot movies, "Looking forward to you growing up" and "The Sea is Blue".
Therefore, in his opinion, a commercial film director like Shen Lin is definitely a cancer of Chinese films - although he also made "Carol".
Originally, among the judges this time, Shen Lin was the most powerful among them, but he didn't say anything based on his identity, and he made up his mind to watch the movie quietly from the beginning.
Fortunately, most of these people are prejudiced against him, and rarely let him speak, except for the fact that everyone will let him say a few words after the screening of each movie.
Shen Lin doesn't care, anyway, he doesn't have any opinions, in his opinion, except for "Happy Funeral", which is barely a complete story, the others can be summed up in two words - bad movies, including "The Evil".
But this "Wild Great Wall" really exceeded his bottom limit, it was so bad that it couldn't find any merit at all.
said that he told the truth: "I'm sorry, my tolerance for movies has a bottom line, if a movie keeps making me sick for the first ten minutes, I will definitely leave!" ”
Liao Qingsong is also very straightforward: "Hehe, you are very right, but you have to understand that this is a director's debut..."
"And then?"
"Shouldn't we give these young directors a little encouragement? With a bit of tolerance..."
"Mr. Liao, if a director's debut is so bad, I can clearly conclude that this director will not have any achievements in film!"
“…”
"But he is obviously exploring new forms of cinema, using small spaces and big narratives..."
"Is it something to encourage a person who has just learned to walk but wants to run? I don't think there's anything to encourage this, the most important thing for a debut film is the director's narrative ability rather than any structure or style, to put it mildly, I haven't even established the style, what qualifications do they have to talk about style? ”
What Shen Lin said is very practical, the common problem of some new directors is that I must shock the world and let people see my talent, so I desperately play style and desperately rectify in a niche direction.
Can you watch the movie that was made?
There are so many directors in Europa who like to play style, who has become a master?
How many of the remembered film masters are directors who have lost money in various ways?
Liao Qingsong is an elder, so Shen Lin restrained himself and did not explode foul language, but his views were completely contrary to Shen Lin.
The other judges didn't say anything, after all, the king of sunglasses didn't speak, so he simply broke up unhappily.
……
"Fang Jianhao, I want to take back all the funds that sponsor the Xining Film Festival every year..."
When he went out, Shen Lin called Fang Jianhao directly with great anger and told him how he felt at the Xining Film Festival in the past few days: "... Originally, I thought this would be China's Sundance, but after I came, I realized what Sundance was here, and it was obviously a bunch of utopias advocating literary and cinematic films! ”
“… However, Mr. Shen, if you directly withdraw the sponsorship so rashly, the impact on the company will be very bad..."
Fang Jianhao actually didn't agree with Shen Lin's series of decisions, such as spending so much money every year to help a film festival that couldn't see returns, and the previous online art theater plan.
However, he knew that Shen Lin's original intention was just to make Chinese films more diverse, and in addition, Shen Lin's earning power was indeed not bad, so he didn't stop it.
“… So what do you say now? By the way, I don't even want to do that theatrical theater project..."
"Did you hear any bad news?"
Fang Jianhao asked cautiously.
"What's the bad news?"
Shen Lin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
"It's that many so-called literary films want to be launched in our literary and artistic theaters, forcing us to buy copyrights, and if we don't buy them, we will say that we discriminate against them..."
In the past few days, Fang Jianhao's head has grown.
Originally, it was a good discussion with iQiwei, and it took out 500 million yuan to build an online literary theater at one time, which can not only make a group of literary and art lovers feel the company's sense of responsibility, but also make a contribution to Chinese films.
As a result, Cheng Kaizi is a child, and I don't know where a group of people with literary and artistic film copyrights came out, crying and shouting for literary and artistic theaters to recycle their copyrights.
Fang Jianhao organized more than 50 people to watch it, and was responsible for screening out a round of literary films that normal people can understand, and then launched the literary theater.
It's normal, this is what has been decided before, which can be spread on the Internet, and which can't be decided by ourselves, and then, those people stopped doing it, making all kinds of trouble, fanning the flames on the Internet, saying that Zhao Liying's studio looks down on them, and the purpose of doing these things is to make money.
Please, I'm all free, earn your sister!
It stands to reason that such a mentally retarded remark should not be able to stir up any waves, but some people really believe it, and a bunch of people believe it, all kinds of black materials, revelations are conclusive...
Fang Jianhao was almost annoyed.
"Alas! For the time being, wait for three months, and when the three months are up, I will withdraw my investment,"
Damn, I'm not playing!
Look how dark you guys are!
"However, wouldn't it be too discrediting to do so, after all, we had already done a lot of publicity at the beginning..."
"What's the matter, you just say we can't bear it, since some people say that we want to make money, then we don't do a good job."
Shen Lin confessed very frankly, fortunately, he didn't talk too much when he was promoting this literary theater, and he also left a way back for himself, and bluntly said, "If you can't do it, you will withdraw your investment." ’
“… And what about the new director program? ”
"It doesn't matter, when those funds are recovered, let's set up a film foundation and praise people ourselves!"
Hanging up the phone, Shen Lin began to reflect on himself, perhaps because he was getting closer to the day of rebirth, so his approach was becoming more and more contrary to his original intention.
What's more, is it okay for you to make a literary movie?
Do people think highly of you because you provide funds?
Reality gave him a big mouth in blood, and people treated him as a Kaizi!
The so-called Chinese literary film itself is just a very hypocritical proposition.
