Chapter 261: Interpretation of Literary Films

"Chen Ge, although we haven't seen each other for more than two years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But I really didn't expect that you have become a popular star in the entertainment industry now. I really want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have embarked on this road, we will meet when we have time, you know that I miss you very much! ”

"Do you know who's on the screen?"

"Acquaintance."

"Who is it!?"

"Wait for Xiaonan!"

Chen Ge was still in a state of bewilderment, how could it be Hou Xiaonan.

Hou Xiaonan, the girl that Chen Ge had the most contact with when he first arrived in Xiangjiang, the relationship between the two was almost to the level of boyfriend and girlfriend, but unfortunately he gave up in the end.

On the other side, Xiao S began to tease again: "Chen Ge." How can you be so good with so many female stars. Originally, you were so...... But you have a good eye. All of them are big beauties. It is said that the fans want you to hold a concert because your singing is really good, but you yourself are against it? ”

"No, not really. I really wish I could have a concert, but I don't think I'm good enough at singing now, after all, if I want to hold a concert, I have to be worthy of the price of my tickets for the fans. Chen Ge replied perfunctorily.

Cai Kang saw that Chen Ge didn't really want to talk about this topic, so he shifted and said, "Chen Ge, it is said that although you have only debuted for nearly two years. But it is loved by the gossip media, and they even call you the "Prince of Gossip" ......"

"Is there one? Really, falsely? Hearing such a nickname, Chen Ge was obviously quite surprised. What the hell is going on! "The Gossip Prince"?

I didn't have an affair with anyone at all, and I really lost it to them.

"Let me talk about your rumored girlfriend, starting with the first one, that is, Hou Xiaonan who just received the video, although you haven't seen each other for two years, the program team found that your first scandal two years ago was to drink Hou Xiaonan, who was in college at the time."

"The second. Concubine Liu! ”

"The third, Princess."

Chen Ge said: "They and I are very good friends. I also sincerely hope that those journalist friends will not scribble. After all, this will have a greater impact on them......"

At this point, Chen Ge's gossip is almost over, and the time has exceeded expectations, and it should be enough to broadcast two episodes after editing.

The show ended with Chen Ge and a group of models dancing at the end.

Chen Ge secretly returned to Xiangjiang on the same day, because he was fully armed and his itinerary was also very secretive, so no one found Chen Ge, and there was no encirclement of fans, and he quickly returned home.

Chen Ge, who went back to the room, took a cold shower. I lay down comfortably on the bed. Although nothing special happened to Kangxi during this recording, I don't know why, I always feel a little tired in my heart.

Chen Gefan, who felt that he had only squinted for a while, was woken up by the phone he had just installed, and Chen Ge, who had grabbed the phone indiscriminately, said with a little irritability in his eyes: "Who! In the middle of the night, I don't feel ......."

"Ahh Did you sleep? Then I'll call again tomorrow! ”

I heard a voice on the other end of the phone. Chen Ge said excitedly: "I actually just lay down, princess, you haven't slept so late!" ”

The princess called, but Chen Ge felt a little apologetic in his heart. What he didn't know was that the princess was actually more tired than Chen Ge. Today she has a book signing, an essay she wrote, just autographed. The princess has already signed a sour hand.

"En......" muttered for a long time. The princess said a little shyly: "I miss you, so I don't want to sleep yet." ”

I don't know why, the princess missed you and made Chen Ge suddenly relax. That originally confused and tired face. At this moment, he said into the phone with a smile: "I miss you too!" ”

………………………………………………………………

Chen Ge fought with the princess until late, and most of the time Chen Ge listened quietly to what the princess was saying. It can be felt. Today's princess is very happy, although tired. But she was still very touched by the enthusiasm of the fans. It's as small as some scattered gifts that fans give her. The princess shared it with Chen Ge on the phone.

When the phone hung up, it was already three watches in the middle of the night. Chen Ge lay on the bed and tossed a few times, then fell asleep happily again.

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Ge was woken up by the phone again.

"Chen Ge, get up and go to the press conference hall immediately! This morning is the press conference of "After the End", the afternoon is the cover photo set with "Men's Dock", and the evening has dinner with the main creator of the "After the End" crew. Shi Zhimin on the other end of the phone hung up the phone after speaking.

Chen Ge was left lying on the bed for a long time with the phone. But the next moment he still got up quickly, this is how many days and nights of accumulated professional quality,

When Chen Ge appeared at the door of the hall of the press conference, he suddenly found himself surrounded by a group of reporters, who began to ask questions, which overwhelmed Chen Ge. Fortunately, the staff had been waiting at the scene for a long time, and a few people squeezed into the crowd to protect Chen Ge and rushed out of the group of reporters towards the company's press conference hall.

"Everyone. The press conference will start shortly. So please don't be in a hurry ......," said one of the reporters who were chasing Chen Ge.

appeared in the press conference room, Chen Ge had already seen that the main creators of the crew such as Princess Huang Xiaoming had basically arrived, and they were all sitting there neatly dressed

"Chen Ge, why did you come. Come here......" Huang Xiaoming hurriedly beckoned after seeing Chen Ge.

"It's none of my business! I was still sleeping, but I rushed over as soon as I received the call. Chen Ge walked over depressedly.

The press conference started immediately, and Chen Ge did not communicate much with Huang Xiaoming and them. After all, the press conference will start soon, and things like the press conference can only be played on the spot.

In the face of numerous flashing lights, Chen Ge is now very accustomed to it, and this is not the first time he has attended a press conference. It's not the first time I've faced the lens of so many journalists. When these reporters were all focused on themselves, Chen Ge did not have the sense of accomplishment of the first press conference.

"Director Chen, do you think "After the End" can surpass "East Evil and West Poison" at the box office?" The first reporter's question should be sharply thrown at Chen Ge.

"Huh. What shall I say about your question? As a director and producer. My personal desire is, of course, to be able to surpass the former. My crew and I will seriously create "There Will Be No Future", as for the result, it depends on the recognition of the audience! Chen Ge replied modestly.

The reporter nodded, expressing his approval of the answer: "Then may I ask, did Director Chen's selection of Huang Xiaoming to play the leading role go through multi-level considerations, after all, Huang Xiaoming has never filmed a literary film before, are you sure of his acting skills?" ”

In the reporter's question, Chen Ge glanced at Huang Xiaoming with a smile: "Xiaoming's ability to play the leading role must have been affirmed by many aspects, and I think his appearance in "Infernal Affairs" also left a deep impression on everyone!" I have a lot of confidence in Xiaoming, as for you when it comes to acting. Many of our directors are quite positive about his acting skills and hard work. ”

The reporter of Entertainment Weekly seized the opportunity and said to Chen Ge: "May I ask Director Chen, is it true that the outside world is rumored to be in love with the princess?" ”

Seeing this, Shi Zhimin, who was next to him, hurriedly said: "The theme of this press conference is "No Time After the Meeting", as for other irrelevant questions, we have the right to refuse to answer. ”

Shi Zhimin's words also made those reporters who were ready to dig deep into the relationship between Chen Ge and the princess finally dispel their thoughts.

The reporter of "Ming Pao" raised his hand to speak, looked at Chen Ge and said: "Since Director Chen plans to shoot a literary film for the second time, and Director Chen's good results in your first literary film are also well known, what do you think of domestic literary films?" ”

Chen Ge smiled at the reporter and said: "For literary films, we can't first look at literary films, and only define literary films as "non-commercial films", although the difference between literary films and commercial films is vague, and we don't have to care about how many directors boast about how "literary" they are, so we may not need to make so many requirements." In my personal opinion, or prejudice, I think that the so-called "little freshness" is fundamentally a kind of vulgarity, and this vulgarity is a manifestation of the current anti-intellectualism. After so many years of development, there is a set of effective creative models, and there is a huge industry to constantly determine the "selling point" of the work. Literary films try to break away from the shackles of the entire commercial system and create with a more free and self-oriented attitude. But for some so-called literary films, this is anti-intellectual, it is not a purposeful abandonment of the research results of the audience's psychology and preferences in the commercial film system, but deliberately opposed because they cannot achieve it. Some viewers then followed suit, just like eating fish and suddenly one day eating leaves and chaff and saying that it is delicious, but in fact, the leaves themselves are also difficult to eat. As for the "petty bourgeoisie", unlike the "little fresh", the latter is more like a mild indignant youth, while the petty bourgeoisie purely imitates the lifestyle and aesthetics that do not belong to oneself. This is not unusual, and there are more representative cases in anthropology. For example, the indigenous people of some African tourist areas will also imitate the middle-class lifestyle of tourists, and even form their own habits. In a sociological sense, "Little Freshness" is anti-consumerism, and when the current "Little Freshness" itself is flooded, its audience will leave it, seek something more anti-intellectual, different, and claim that those new things are truly "fresh"; The "petty bourgeoisie", on the other hand, is consumerist, and its audience will always like something with a petty bourgeoisie - provided of course that they cannot enter this class, because only when this sentiment is a scarce product can it be consumed. ”

"Because our market is not yet mature, we often regard those realistic movies as literary films. The difference between literary films and commercial films here is too big, when it comes to commercial films, it is vulgar, and when it comes to literary films, it is divorced from the masses.

In fact, many movies are both commercial and artistic, and they are not very separated, especially in Hollywood, where there are actually a lot, which can convince distributors, theaters and audiences that literary films can also be sold for money. We don't have an awards ceremony that audiences buy into, and our awards aren't in the same nature as Hollywood – sometimes you don't even know why that show won the award. ”

"What I admire most about the director of domestic literary films is Lu Liang, and his name as the father of literary films is irreplaceable."

Chen Ge's answer amazed everyone at the venue, and they all thought that they were before this press conference. Chen Ge must have done a lot of work, but in fact, Chen Ge played on the spot, but when it comes to literary films, it is because Chen Ge has his own unique opinions on many things in it.

As an actor, if you want to star in a certain type of movie, then the prerequisite is that you must understand this kind of movie, and Chen Ge did it.

The Ming Pao reporter looked at Chen Geran in surprise and hurriedly said: "There are many kinds of literary films, and many people are still unclear about the boundaries between good and bad literary films, what do you think of this." ”

Measured by the ruler of box office results, the literary films that enter the theaters are undoubtedly a failure. So, is such a measurement method a fallacy in itself? In other words, is it a fallacy to press a literary film to the box office and force it to enter the theater under the drive of the commercial film environment? Film is a hundred gardens, and it can neither be without art films nor only commercial films; You can't do without the box office, and you can't just talk about the box office.

Many theater managers who are at the forefront of the market admit frankly that the literary films in the cracks are sympathetic. In terms of the schedule of literary films alone, there are Chinese New Year files and Spring Festival files from December of the previous year in front of him, and American blockbusters in May behind him. ”

I don't understand why literary films are so "excluded" by everyone, and now most literary films with a good reputation are less scheduled and have fewer box offices. Everyone likes to watch commercial films because there are big-name stars, so they won't watch relatively unfamiliar actors, but if there are more and more commercial films with such big names, then word of mouth will be difficult to guarantee. As for how to distinguish the quality of literary films? ”

"I think that

Literary films are not art films. More literary films need to resonate with people (such films seem to be more inclined to female audiences) to express human emotions (love is the majority). Through the artistic shooting techniques of the director and the artistic performance of the actors, it makes the audience deeply feel the beautiful emotions of human beings and arouses emotional resonance, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of film shooting. At the same time, literary films are a combination of literature and art.

Literary films reflect its unique characteristics through that unique atmosphere. The use of film language is also more plain and more suitable for people's receptive habits. ”

Chen Ge's sprinkling reply, the tone of his speech was the same as the high-spirited in front of the media before.

Lu Liang, who came to cheer, gave him a thumbs up after listening to Chen Ge's answer, and looked at those reporters, he also laughed and said: "Everyone has also seen that Chen Ge has his own unique views on literary films, and I believe that he can give us a new interpretation of literary films." ”

After listening to Chen Ge's answer, the reporter of "Ming Pao" was stunned for a moment and applauded vigorously, and even other reporters applauded.

The princess looked at this unprepared man with straight eyes, and at this moment he was in high spirits, like a guide from thousands of troops. Such a man does have his own unique charm.

And just when everyone was attracted to Chen Ge, a reporter saw the opportunity and took a photo of the princess. Immediately after, he raised his hand. (To be continued.) )
