No. 213 Joint Letter
The filming plan was canceled today, because there was a rare guest in the villa, and Lin Feihong would never have thought that Lu Lijun would come to visit him.
Lin Feihong understands this without going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he doesn't need to ask Lin Feihong to know that Lu Lijun came to him not to catch up, and he and Lu Lijun just greeted him at the film association and can't be called friends. Coming from afar is a guest, and hospitality is still indispensable.
"Rare guest, rare guest, I didn't expect Director Lu to come to the shelter with a face, welcome! Welcome! ”
"Haha, I didn't expect to come to the famous Lin Dao's mansion while walking, it seems that we are very fateful." Lu Lijun let go of the lofty posture of the past, and this refreshing enthusiasm made Lin Feihong unable to see whether the person in front of him was Lu Lijun or not.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not the same person I used to be, whether you saw me in the association or on other occasions, it was the past me, I have now taken off my cold and arrogant coat and started my life again, and now I am the real me haha.
But this is thanks to you, it is you who rounded my edges and corners, to be honest, my previous life in a foreign country made me develop an invincible attitude, after returning to China to get a little results, this edge and corner are even sharper, when I returned to China I wanted to challenge you, but later it turned out that I am not your opponent, the defeat again and again made me sober, the brilliance on my body began to dim, and now let me see clearly that this world is not only fighting each other, in fact, it is not meaningful to fight like this all the time, it is all Chinese who have this must or, You're right. ”
After listening to Lu Lijun's words, Lin Feihong was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of words to come out of Lu Lijun's mouth, he was definitely not this kind of person before, let alone say such a thing, could it be that he was really rounded by himself as he said? Just a successful director who has been in a high position for a long time. Will a high-achieving student who has studied at a higher education institution succumb to a blow?
"Don't look at me so suspiciously, I also know that you don't believe it, but I'm not looking for you today to prove to you the fact that I was changed by you, I didn't come alone today, I am on behalf of Tuku.com, to be precise, on behalf of Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Xu Ke, Feng Xiaogang and other main directors of Tuku.com came to discuss one thing with you."
Lin Feihong didn't speak, poured a cup of tea for Lu Lijun and waited for him to continue, maybe he had talked too much just now. Lu Lijun drank tea before he continued: "You also know what the current situation of my country's film industry is, although the gap between technology and foreign countries is gradually narrowing, and the output is much more than in previous years, but it still can't catch up with the pace of Hollywood, even if we introduce advanced foreign special effects technology, the results are not very good." You have just acquired a special effects company and don't know how effective it is, not to mention how effective your acquisition of special effects this time is. Let's talk about Hollywood blockbusters. Those blockbusters are popular in North America and other parts of Europe, and although the results in our country are not very good, it does not mean that their films are not as good as ours.
On the contrary, these films that have been popular in many countries are often better than us, and the people don't like them very much, but the aesthetic concept is different due to different national conditions, but this aesthetic is changing, and I estimate that in the near future, the people will be assimilated by foreign blockbusters. Form a film culture that likes them, after all, they are the real popular, and audiences in many countries around the world can be regarded as truly popular, and movies can only develop if they are popular. to be undefeated.
We are lacking this kind of popular essence, the fundamental reason is the national conditions, or the concept of the leadership is different, the whole society in foreign countries is relatively open, whether it is the life of the people or politics, they allow the people to speak boldly about politics, so these foreign directors can unscrupulously create the works they want to create, whether it is human nature, criticism, or reaction.
Although we have also reformed and opened up, most of them are still in words, I won't say much about the rest, you are a smart person should know what I mean, we are now planning to jointly apply to the National Film Bureau for film enlightenment, openness, you are now the most well-known director in our country, we unanimously feel that if you participate, then the possibility of this joint letter will be higher, so I came today to ask for your opinion. ”
Hand Lu Lijun a cigarette, Lin Feihong himself lit one and smoked it, every time he encountered troubles, he had to smoke one, the sensitive thing of the joint letter is like a bomb, if the wiring is less, the easier it is to be dismantled, one or two people will definitely throw the letter directly into the garbage heap, if it is a few big directors in the country who go to the film bureau together, it is not good to kill with a stick, after all, the entire country's film industry comes from the hands of these people, and there is no benefit at all to erase them all, around this, the vitality of the film industry will be greatly damaged, Therefore, this kind of bomb with more wiring is difficult to defuse, and the stability is much better.
Thanks to Lu Lijun for coming up with this method, tying Lin Feihong up again is equivalent to installing a protective wall for the bomb, Lin Feihong feels that this kind of joint name is very real and ridiculous, this method is very similar to the ancient lords and nobles forcing the palace, and it is difficult for the emperor not to step down.
But now society is not ancient, modern leaders are not so easily persuaded to submit, if a joint letter can make the top management change their minds, then this will not be country Z. So Lin Feihong is not very optimistic about this method.
"It's not so easy to succeed in co-branding, even if I join, it may not be successful, although the above will not lock us all up because of this, but I think it is very difficult to succeed, maybe what we want to express is just to make them more aware of the existence of this problem, in fact, they know the current situation of my country's film industry better than us, and they have their considerations.
In a word, the national situation, the national situation is like this, no one can help it, unless there is a person who dares to reform above, so I don't think the joint letter has much effect, even if we are all pioneers of our own directors, maybe we think too highly of our own status, in fact, we are just a chess piece in their hands, all we do is to make wedding clothes for others, in their eyes we are nothing, we are at most in the eyes of fans and audiences have real value, in their eyes is nothing.
So, this joint letter will only attract their jokes, it will not play any real role, and the only thing that can change the status quo is the day we sit in their place. ”
Lu Lijun was silent, he kept smoking while Lin Feihong was talking, and now most of the ashtray is Lu Lijun's cigarette butts, he thought that this joint letter method conspired with Feng Xiaogang and them must have achieved great results, after all, there are many successful cases of people who get what they want because of joint letters, but they didn't expect to be said by Lin Feihong but nothing.
"If you add the power of the media, what do you think, let the media publicize our matter and let the whole country testify to us, this kind of example has not been successful, and many villagers' interests have been damaged by this joint letter." Lu Lijun still didn't give up.
Lin Feihong unscrewed off half of the cigarette butt, took a sip of tea, and then said to Lu Lijun: "It's useless, what the people mention is a small interest leader, naturally they won't pay much attention to it, what we want to petition is related to the industry situation of a country, the situation of the film industry is up to them, they think it's good, they think it's good, they think it's not good, it's not up to you and me to jointly want to reform the current situation of the film, the system can be reformed, this is determined by them, even if we invite the media, it won't play a big role, Their words can silence the media, and if they can mobilize the people of the whole country, the people of the whole country are the boss, no matter which organization is the most unable to resist the pressure of public opinion, especially in this world where public opinion is still free.
But this is not very likely, first of all, we can't mobilize so many people with a few of us, even if there are hardcore fans, there are not many, many fans are ordinary people, they are busy running around for their own lives, how can they have the time and energy to accompany you to fight with the above, as long as there are movies to watch them, it doesn't matter how many restrictions they have in the film industry, the system restricts us directors, it's about their business, so it's difficult to invite them.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you really mobilize so many people, the pressure of public opinion is not the only bargaining chip, there are many reasons, they can detain you for the crime of spreading rumors.
It's useless, I'll accompany you if you have to try. ”
Lu Lijun has been smoking vigorously, and when he finished smoking the last cigarette, he let out a long puff of smoke rings, nodded lightly and said, "You always have to try, no matter whether you succeed or not, you have to try." ”
stood up and took a look, then looked at the sky outside for some reason, and then said to Lin Feihong: "Wait until I prepare a joint letter for you to see." He dropped the last sentence and walked away.
Looking at Lu Lijun's back, Lin Feihong's heart was in turmoil, was the person in front of him really the same Lu Lijun as before.
"How could Lu Lijun come to you, we don't have any friendship with him, there was a hostile posture for a while, there should be something important to find you." Wang Rong came in from outside the door with a small thing, and when she saw Lin Feihong standing in front of the window in a daze, she stepped forward to greet her.
"It's a big deal, come to me to discuss the joint letter."
"So what progress is there now, and how are the negotiations going?"
"There's nothing to see, if they want to toss around, I'll make a cameo." After saying that, Lin Feihong hugged the little thing, only by playing with the little thing can he leave all his troubles behind, now the little thing is six months old, and he will laugh under his own teasing, every time he looks at this immature smiling face Lin Feihong feels extremely happy, and at this time all the crying fatigue is not worth mentioning, with this warm home, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it!
