Chapter 274: My Philosophy
Jia Yuan's appearance can be said to be aggressive, and he even has a certain tragic momentum, of course, they naturally have enough reasons. The bad experience of this generation of directors can almost be compared with Shen Zhenghui's parents, and when they finally learned it, they were stunned to find that the film system of the whole country had completely changed, and they couldn't find a job making movies, and even if they could make movies, they couldn't make movies according to their own ideas. They are different from the fifth-generation directors who have relied on the power of the country to make films and become internationally famous, they must start from a new starting point and work hard to attract investment, make films, and run distribution. Struggling to find your own path through a crack.
This generation of directors almost all started from scratch with great difficulty, relying entirely on their own funding, finding relationships, making plans, making movies, and then having to sweep the end of the film and make a series of distribution work. Because many times the mainland cannot be released, the biggest difference between this generation and the fifth generation is that they are not internationalized with the support of the state, but on the contrary, they themselves have begun to take the road of internationalization. In other words, their films were made for foreigners from the beginning.
The national is also the world, and there must be audiences in this world who are interested in other countries and the world, and their interest in the stories of foreign countries is far greater than the daily life around them, so the so-called artistic films are not without a market. The richer the material life, the higher the requirements for the spiritual life, so the most commercial and mainstream things will sometimes be resisted by those who pursue a higher spiritual life, and some non-mainstream things will be sought after by a fixed group of people. The market is segmented to such a way that even if you do niche things, you can make money. Because the way in which non-mainstream things return on investment is different from mainstream things.
In the case of marketization, can the state manage non-mainstream niche hobbies? Strictly speaking, they can, they can do all kinds of things to keep things that are not mainstream from being released publicly. But in practical operation. In the era of marketization and globalization, the management power of government departments can only be reflected in the aspects and levels that are granted by law. Just like the progressive writers who hid in the concession during the Republic of China, even the sixth generation of directors are in a better situation. They are still inextricably linked to the authorities and the mainstream film industry, and the ban was lifted in 2003. Relatively speaking, Chinese artists have to rely on foreign countries to respect themselves. After all, the Celestial Empire, which is a great country and a leader everywhere, no longer exists at all. In such an era of frequent exchanges and ideological turmoil. Those who go along with it may not prosper, but those who go against it will die.
Under the reality that the domestic film industry is gradually shrinking, the production volume is not high, and the box office is not good, and the domestic demand is not strong, after the WTO, under the external threat of foreign blockbusters pressing step by step, on the one hand, it has eased relations with the sixth generation of directors and attracted talents. On the other hand, Shen Zhenghui was pulled out to make a big flag and a tiger skin. Today's meeting is actually very interesting, called the Symposium on the Development of Chinese Films, and the main idea of the Film Bureau is nothing more than to borrow the box office miracle of Shen Zhenghui to suppress the hearts of young domestic directors. Don't think that the officials and masters have given in to you under the persecution of the form, and you can disobey discipline from now on, you look at this big bull, I don't know if the box office is hundreds or thousands of times that of yours, what do people think. You don't want to make a movie, and if it can't be released, you think that our film bureau is in charge of you, and you are too dead. See how others are doing it. Don't be too strict with your too-simple, sometimes-na?ve thinking.
Not to mention all the people present. At least many people understand the idea of the Film Bureau. For example, Director Zhang, Director Feng and Director Chen were present and did not say a word. They are the ones who benefit, and they don't feel the need to stand up and fight the loser. Although they and some of their peers of the same generation have a lot of slander against the film bureau, on the whole, they are the beneficiaries of the system. Even if it wasn't, it is now.
They are all clear about the purpose of this meeting. If it is about the development and commercialization of films, Director Zhang is also qualified to speak. But Director Zhang expressed to the leaders at the beginning that he was here to observe. In a sense, Zhang's "Hero" is an atypical film that works successfully. The foundation of its success is based on the accumulation of Director Zhang's fame over the years, and it can even be said that it is based on the unremitting official support for Director Zhang and Director Zhang's own international reputation. Otherwise, a $30 million investment. Who would have the guts to come up with this? Jet Lee, Zhang Yinghou, Liang Yingdi, Chen Yingdi, who can bring them together? The directors who were able to imitate Director Zhang's way in the same way were all on the scene - Director Feng and Director Chen, they are all doing it now. So why do those young directors, who use powerful young actors who are not famous at all, and actors who are sent away with tens of thousands of yuan as salaries, follow the same path?
So in fact, the sixth-generation directors who also saw this point had already held their breath before coming to the venue, this meeting was simply a mockery of the rich to the poor, not only that, but the rich also made a gesture and said to the poor: "As long as you work hard, one day you will be like me, you have to change the concept of poverty." β
The fifth-generation directors and the sixth-generation directors are actually in the same line, and their concepts, ideas and themes of films, as well as their views on film expressions, are all the same, but there are different forms of expressions. Fundamentally, none of them are a generation that grew up with commercial films. He is genetically an art film director, which is actually the limitation of the cultivation of Chinese film talents. But this kind of thing is a map cannon when you say it, of course, what Shen Zhenghui wants to talk about is not to point to this core and say that you are all wasted, if you want to make a commercial film, you should reform your thinking! He can only talk about the development of commercial films from the side, and talk about the precautions of commercial films from the front. This became a typical clichΓ©, and it did not arouse the interest of the directors present at all.
So at the beginning, without waiting for Shen Zhenghui to read out his views on the Chinese film market and analyze the needs of the market, director Jia Yuan first stood up and fired the first shot of the resentment in his heart.
Jia Yuan's question is very difficult to answer, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, it becomes a conclusion that he is not thinking about it. Directors complain that the system restricts them, but in fact, if they are all allowed to do what they want, it does not mean that Chinese films can compete with Hollywood blockbusters. The Film Bureau asked Shen Zhenghui to come to class, just to remind these guys - wake up from the dream of art! We are not filmmakers. But we've seen too many.
Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and looked at Jia Yuan's lips with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, "Director Shen," he said, "what do you think of my question?" β
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and some people have already applauded. The host was so anxious that he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone pay attention to order." β
"The current contradiction in Chinese society, at least in the film industry, is the contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of the masses and the backward productive forces. Shen Zhenghui said.
His words drew a low burst of laughter, but no one stood up to object.
Jia Yuan frowned, "Productivity is already low, and people are not allowed to farm, isn't this just starving to death?" β
"This productivity is not simply a concept of extensive expansion of production." Shen Zhenghui said calmly, "Everyone has seen the number of box office of Chinese films over the years, such a big market, and as a result, it was dominated by several movies, of course, we will not analyze some specific reasons, let me say a few points that I think are more important." β
"Does this have anything to do with my problem?" Jia Yuan asked.
"Director Jia, listen to me." Shen Zhenghui said calmly. "When it comes to commercial films, we have to talk about Hollywood and Hong Kong films. Hollywood and Hong Kong films have a long process of accumulation, and they have accumulated for several years in various types of films such as commercial films, art films, etc., and have reached a balanced way, which I don't say is a good way, at least a relatively stable industrial system. But the situation in China is very different from these two places, because the development of our films is not gradual, but a leap forward development of fault line by fault. In many cases, the development of film is closely related to the situation in all aspects of our country, so along with the changes in the country as a whole, the theme of the film industry is also changing. β
Looking at the whispers of the people around him, Shen Zhenghui continued. "This can be clearly seen from the subject matter, I won't talk about a lot of things, everyone is an industry insider, and we all know the film history of our country very well. I'll give you a few specific particles, "Shaolin Temple" was empty when it was first screened, but now if you continue to shoot martial arts films according to the level of "Shaolin Temple" at that time, it will be a street, but if you look at the development of Jett Lee as the leading actor, the evolution of commercial films reflected in him can be seen as an example of film development. For example, Pony Zhou, Jack Cheng, and Zhou Xingxing, arrange the movies they shoot in chronological order, and look for the law of film development, it can be seen that not only the development of technology, but also the development of themes and themes is the driving force for the evolution of commercial films. β
Looking at some people who had fallen into thinking, Shen Zhenghui paused and continued, "I don't know a lot about art films, but from the example of commercial films, I think that even art films should be a reaction and embodiment of social consciousness. Otherwise, unless the artist himself has been recognized, he is part of the social consciousness himself. β
"What's your theory?" Jia Yuan asked.
"I think it's Marxist theory." Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "Of course, this is my personal idea, please give me more guidance on the inappropriateness." β
"So what does it have to do with my question?" Jia Yuan asked.
"I heard that the Film Bureau had already talked to you last year, and the ban on many people's directorial qualifications and works has been lifted." Shen Zhenghui looked at the director of the film bureau who attended the meeting.
The other party nodded, "Yes." β
"This is a good foundation," Shen continued, "and since the reality is much better, then everyone should take this opportunity to prove themselves." β
Jia Yuan sneered, "You didn't answer my question at all." β
Lou Hua pulled Raja Yuan, "Okay." "It means that Jia Yuan will accept it when he sees it. Jia Yuan pushed Lou Hua's hand away, "I didn't ask these questions for myself," he looked very frank, "I've been through so many years, and I'm a little famous." With some money on his own, he can also make some 'so-called art' films. He looked at Shen Zhenghui, and the word "so-called art" was a bit ironic, "But I can't let my contemporaries and my back continue to suffer like me." β
"Uh, Lao Jia, that's a bit too much." Wang Shuai on the side said. "Suffering is also a grind."
Jia Yuan's tears were about to come out, and he sat down all of a sudden, "It's so fucking grinding." β
Big brother, your road is smooth. Shen Zhenghui coughed, and responded under the rather embarrassed gaze of the leaders of the Film Bureau and the seniors, "I don't want to evaluate art films, because it's very likely, no, it's not very likely, because based on my identity is prejudice." He spread his hands. But from another point of view, it is not right for our system to train all directors to be art film directors, for example, our professional class cannot cultivate talents like Director Feng, which is a great loss. Director Feng lowered his head embarrassedly, but when he raised his head, his face was still expressionless.
"So it's hard for me to answer what Director Jia just said, as far as I'm concerned, let's let go of the topic of art film directors first, I think that China needs to cultivate a group of technical directors and supporting industries, which is the most urgent task. Because this trend can be seen directly from Hollywood movies. As far as commercial films are concerned, the most attractive things are ultimately the scenes and special effects. Therefore, this is the most urgent from the perspective of the development of our films and from the perspective of protecting the film market from being impacted. β
Shen Zhenghui glanced at Jia Yuan, he still lowered his head, as if he was still very excited, and he couldn't stop shaking his head. seems to be very dissatisfied with Shen Zhenghui's evasion of his own problems.
"I'm sorry, because today's topic is the future development of Chinese films, and given my identity, the topic I talk about is also biased towards commercial films." Shen Zhenghui explained, "You can think that I am biased against 'art' films. Because that's not what I'm good at at all, I can only talk about my personal biased opinion, which is not deliberately aimed at anyone, or what type of film I despise, because the leader of the Film Bureau had already told me that this was an open exchange meeting before I came, so I also tried to be honest, although I don't know much about art films, but I still have to say something. If you are offended, I hope you don't blame me for the sake of my youth. β
Shen Zhenghui took the initiative to mention his age, which made everyone present re-notice this awkward point. He was born in 75, graduated in 97, and officially entered the film industry in 98 and filmed "The Cruel History of Bad High School", when he was just twenty-three years old. Director Jia Yuan is five years older than Shen Zhenghui, and he started in the film industry five years earlier than Shen Zhenghui, as early as 93 years, he has already begun to shoot his first film "Little Mountain Home", speaking of which, he is actually the smoothest one of the directors of this generation, and he has just turned 34 this year He is already the chairman of the jury of the Turin International Film Festival.
From the perspective of business and art, in addition to the predecessors of Director Zhang, he is the one who is qualified to talk to Shen Zhenghui, and he is the first to speak out, but he was punched by Shen Zhenghui and bypassed this topic. If you continue to dwell on this topic, you will seem narrow-minded, so Director Jia sat up straight, looked at Shen Zhenghui coldly, and was ready to listen to what he was going to say.
"In my personal opinion, the director may be at the extreme of two differences, one is that the director arranges a qiΔ, so that the whole film is full of his ideas and shadows, and the other is that the director is completely reduced to an executor, as far as China is concerned, the system of producers in charge of a qiΔ is not very mature, and we don't even have enough directors, let alone knowledgeable producers. However, there are examples of this in Hong Kong, such as Tsui Hark, and Wang Jing. Shen Zhenghui glanced at the audience, everyone was not impatient, and they all listened with some relish, as if they were waiting for what he said later.
"Chinese directors are still biased towards the first type, the director's rights and responsibilities are very large, and he must be responsible for the whole film, but with the development of the film industry, a force sometimes can't control more and more huge film investment projects, so although the author's film with a personal style will not be extinct, it can only be said that there will be fewer and fewer in the mainstream market, so that it becomes more and more valuable to those directors with a distinctive style."
Shen Zhenghui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally continued to speak according to his own thoughts, "But the current society is changing too fast. Directors who want to fully grasp the course of a film will find that times are changing too quickly to keep up, and they must change their style and focus their limited energy on more important things. β
"Can you give an example?" Director Lou asked in a weird manner, "I don't feel this trend." β
"Actually, the examples are already very obvious, and people don't realize it," Mr. Shen said. "For example, when Director Zhang was filming "Hero", he would not design the details of the martial arts movements, he would only tell the action director what kind of effects I needed, and let the action director design the movements. The grandeur of the scenes, more stunt shooting and stunt production are not something that the director can play alone, he must become such a role, coordinating the cooperation between various departments. β
Director Lou showed a disdainful expression on the corner of his mouth, "You are talking about the division of labor within the crew." It has nothing to do with the director's control. β
"But you can't help but admit that the increasingly detailed division of labor within the crew is the trend of the development and specialization of the entire film industry." Shen Zhenghui said, "In that case, let me give you a few more examples, "Harry Potter", "Shanghai Fortress", and "The Legend of Wukong". β
"Is there anything in common?" Someone asked.
"These works are all commercially successful, and I noticed that they all gained enough influence in other forms before the film was made, and then when the film was actually filmed, the audience who followed the film because of other art forms became the most direct consumers of the film."
"Isn't it normal for popular novels and animations to be adapted into movies?" Director Lou replaced Director Jia and began to raise the bar. "Isn't it true that popular Japanese anime are released every year? This is also just one aspect of the theme of the movie. β
"I think that's a very important aspect of the film genre," Shen replied. "It involves a problem I mentioned earlier, the driving force of film development is sometimes driven by social consciousness, the development of the film itself is influenced by society, and the popularity of social culture is the source of the theme of the film, in fact, this is very easy to understand, as if the record of the society of everyone's film on the scene is one of the aspects of the great transformation of Chinese society. The subject matter of the film is a reaction of society itself, and this change comes too quickly and violently, and sometimes something is keenly grasped by you. β
He looked at the leaders sitting at the conference table, and the leaders all showed official smiles, "The mainstream direction of the future movie theme will definitely be biased towards entertainment." This is related to the spiritual needs of everyone after the improvement of their living standards. Of course, with the improvement of living standards, at some levels, art films also have a segmented market, so in the future, the development of the film market will allow all types of films to survive, but in terms of the mainstream, there is no doubt that the market for commercial films is the largest, and whether commercial films can meet the interests of the public in social development is the key to the success or failure of commercial films. I think as far as film investment is concerned, the future investment in commercial films will obviously be bigger and bigger. This is easy to guess, just look at the cost of "Hero", with the development of society, unless it suffers from a financial crisis, the value of movie stars will not fall, the cost is getting higher and higher, and the risk is getting bigger and bigger, so the investment in movies is becoming more and more inclined to stable content and genres. β
"Do you prefer adaptations of popular novels and manga?" Someone asked.
"Not limited to," Shen Zhenghui said, he looked at the sixth-generation directors who were all bitter and hateful, "In fact, this shows the significance of art films, from a certain point of view, art films are the pioneers of commercial films, and they play a role in exploring the way for commercial films." Therefore, the establishment of major film awards encourages innovation and newcomers, and cultivates acting skills, all for the better development of the entire industry. β
Someone blinked, a thoughtful expression.
"The problem is how to grasp this connection, in fact, art films and commercial films complement each other, and the development of the entire film industry is not healthy without either party. What worries people now is that art films and commercial films are too opposed, which is actually not a good thing for anyone. Art films are becoming more and more high and low, and commercial films are immersed in the repetition of routines, and in the end they all go astray. β
"So you have to look at things holistically," a deputy director nodded seriously, "Director Shen's opinion is very profound!" β
Shen Zhenghui held back his shame and continued. "I also hope that directors who make art films can make commercial films, and I also hope that directors who make commercial films can try art films, the key is not to limit yourself, broaden your horizons, and break the barriers of genre films, so that it is of great significance to future directors. To accomplish such a conversion. As I said earlier, directors must grasp the key points, be able to find good assistants, and divide labor and cooperate, in this case, we need our film industry to be thick enough, big enough, and have enough manpower, and the collision of ideas between people. Communication produces chemical reactions. If only a few people cling to what they have already achieved, they will definitely be eliminated in this era of rapid development. Shen Zhenghui said happily, "For example, Hollywood, their market is large enough, and the mobility of personnel is also very large, and there are constantly new companies rising because of a good film, and there are old companies falling because of the failure of a blockbuster, the key is vitality and innovation." β
Already officials have taken the lead in applauding.
Shen Zhenghui hurriedly shook his hand. "But to make it like this, we still need government support."
"There's a direction. The government is also aware of how to support it. This is a film company boss said, "In the end, we still have to give young directors more opportunities." β
The topic changed like this, and some of the guys who originally wanted to pick on the thorn couldn't help but look at each other a little.
"Director Shen!" In the end, it was Jia Yuan who stood up, "I don't think you have a backache when you stand and talk," his tone became much softer, "You started as a director in Japan, right?" β
"Yes." Shen Zhenghui nodded.
"How much was the investment for the first film?"
"If you're asking about the liars I directed. The first is "Wind Forest High School", with a budget of 500 million yen. As soon as this sentence came out, the people present took a breath of cool air, 500 million yen, which is 100 million yen. Even if it is a yen, it is converted into more than 30 million yuan, not to mention that it was around 99 years, and 30 million yuan is already a very remarkable investment.
Jia Yuan said with a certain envious tone, "Those present," he swept around, "Except for a few masters, it probably can't reach your level at all, and of course, it is impossible for a master to have such a generous premise when he starts." β
"Yes," Shen Zhenghui admitted, "but I can talk about my beginning, it is true that I started with strong funds, because my family itself is engaged in foreign trade, and there is really no shortage of money to make movies, and as far as Japan is concerned, there is no shortage of financing channels, I think Director Jia also understands this." β
Director Jia snorted, he was also funded by Kitano Takeshi Studio, so he naturally knew it.
"Before making this film, I invested in several animated films, which ones are they? They are GONZO's "Re-take", "Tokyo Fort" and "Urakai Fort", all of which have movie versions in the end, so everyone should be clear. β
No, there were many old comrades at the scene who didn't watch cartoons, and everyone was very unclear, so they opened their mouths to ask. So Shen Zhenghui had to tell them one by one about the profitability of the TV version of these cartoons and the box office of the movie version, and after hearing the box office, everyone only had envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Then I became an actor myself, this is the most serious movie I have participated in, "The Cruel History of Peking High School", this movie is also invested by me, the director is director Takashi Shimizu, he is the director of "The Grudge", known as the master of Japanese horror films, when we found him as a director, he only participated in the production of a few TV series, and he pooled his own money to shoot the TV version of "The Grudge", and he couldn't find a distribution company." Shen Zhenghui said, "This movie finally got a box office of 2 billion, of course, I'm not here to brag about how good my vision is, let me explain a little, "The Cruel History of Peking High School" and the cartoons mentioned before actually have original books, they are popular in a circle that is not too small and not too big, I found out, and then used as the subject of the movie. β
Shen Zhenghui swallowed a mouthful of saliva and applauded his cheeky shamelessness in his heart, "So I'm actually not a director with a strong personal style at all, if I want to see it myself, I'm just an ordinary person who coexists with the times, in a sense, I have grasped the pulse of the times," Shen Zhenghui continued to say unashamedly, "In fact, many young people." Especially young people who have just come out of school, the whimsy in their heads is actually very valuable, but they lack the material conditions to realize these wonderful ideas, which for me, maybe I am a little lucky, thanks to my father and mother. Shen Zhenghui bowed to his father. Shen Xingguo had an irrepressible smile on his face.
"So ......"
"So Chairman Wang said very well just now, we must give young directors more opportunities," Shen Zhenghui said with Jia Yuan's words, "In fact, we should pay more attention to the students in school, so that they have the opportunity to show their talents, the more young people are, the more keenly they feel about the times." He raised his hand and said, "Director, I have a plan." We should strongly support college students to shoot their graduation projects. β
The Director nodded approvingly, "This should be taken into account. β
"I'm more than willing to contribute to this," he said, looking around, "since we're at the Pyeongkyo Film Academy, well, we'll talk about that later." β
The sixth-generation directors sitting on the side were a little embarrassed, of course they could condescendingly say anything to Shen Zhenghui with the awards of their films. But at the current meeting, everyone is not a brainless secondary school teenager. also knew that the theme of the conference was definitely not how to win awards at major Western film festivals, and listening to Shen Zhenghui's speech from beginning to end, he seemed to have no interest in winning awards at all, and the content he talked about was only limited to commercial films, which made it difficult to find topics that could be targeted, and the sixth generation of directors were a little silent for a while.
Of course. Shen Zhenghui also has no good impression of the sixth generation of directors, if their debut works have halo bonuses because they have been recognized by the Western film industry, then most of the future works of these directors are lackluster. In particular, several of them are far behind the times, and they are still immersed in their own secondary two diseases. Repeating the theme that I feel deep over and over again turns out to be shallow by the times. But it cannot be denied that at this point in time, this is still a group of talented directors with their own pursuits and sufficient ability to act, facing the dilemma of the Chinese film market, the government has to reconcile with them, and pinned the hope of revitalizing the film market on them. On the other hand, it can probably be regarded as an ideological relaxation. However, the power of the system is enormous, and in the end, reality still proves that the main force that can save the Chinese film market is still the group of directors from the mainland who are not from professional classes and Hong Kong directors.
In the end, this exchange meeting really turned into an exchange meeting, and several important directors of the fifth generation and other production bosses began to happily exchange experiences with Shen Zhenghui on the production and distribution of films. As Asia's No. 1 commercial director, his reputation is still too loud, and many people are very interested in the Japanese market when Hollywood is too far away. But the Japanese film market is a complete negative example, when it comes to live-action films, they have completely gone astray and are unable to return. Even Shen Zhenghui, who won the No. 1 box office in Japan's live-action movie, publicly preached to those present that there is no hope for Japan in terms of cultivating actors alone. Japanese actors had to hone their acting skills in endless idol dramas, and then completely deviated from the road. The example that Shen Zhenghui can give is even Tomoaki Aonuma, who came to China to study.
Another thing worth integrating is that the theme of Japanese movies is biased towards animation, and in Shen Zhenghui's mouth, this has become the reason for his success and the reason for the sinking of Japanese films. If China does not go its own way in commercial blockbusters, it will inevitably become a dumping ground for Hollywood movies like Japan in the end.
Director Feng especially complimented Shen Zhenghui, saying that he should cultivate more division of labor in the film industry, which was very appealing to him, and he mentioned that the lack of professionals in the film industry was a bitter water. Director Zhang and Director Chen also expressed their politeness on the surface, and the three of them left quickly after talking, and then other business tycoons, experts and professors came up to communicate. The leaders of the Film Bureau were particularly satisfied with this result, and were ready to draw up a summary of the meeting and grasp a few projects that could produce political achievements as work. Shen Zhenghui had just had a preliminary discussion with the dean of the college about the plan to sponsor the school's students to make films, when Jia Yuan unceremoniously walked over and patted Shen Zhenghui on the shoulder.
"Director Shen!" He shouted politely, followed by several of his buddies.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
"We'd like to talk to you privately." Jia Yuan said, "Do you have time?" β
"I'm sorry," Shen Zhenghui showed an embarrassed expression, "I'm really not free today." The principal on the side interjected and said, "Jia Yuan, don't leave, stay and eat together at night!" β
Jia Yuan also showed an embarrassed expression, "It's so simple to tell you." A few people gathered around and talked about the distribution of the film first, Spring naturally will not push the business outward, and they can't just release commercial films, this kind of literary film can be regarded as establishing a healthy cycle, so Shen Zhenghui nodded and promised that they could cooperate in principle, and the specific situation would be discussed when the time came, and he also left his own contact information.
Seeing that the business was negotiated, Jia Yuan immediately changed his face again, "Do you think your commercial films have a soul?" β
If you didn't look at this guy's expression, Shen Zhenghui would definitely think that this guy was a cult missionary, "What do you mean, can you make it clear?" β
"What do you think is the point of your film?" Jia Yuan asked, he still didn't give up on the argument just now, "Are they realistic?" β
"It's enough for the audience to like it." Shen Zhenghui replied.
"Do you like it, then?" Jia Yuan continued to ask.
"Of course I like it, no, I don't think it's a matter of liking, I want my film to be funny, and I'm happy that people can understand that." Shen Zhenghui replied, he patted Jia Yuan on the shoulder, "Everyone's experience is different, I am sometimes not used to the kind of movies that stimulate my soul fiercely, this is completely a matter of fun." β
"According to you, there will be more and more fun-oriented movies in the future." Jia Yuan asked a little more seriously, "Does it mean that we have no way out in the future?" β
"I didn't say that, at least I didn't say that there would be fewer and fewer people who like art films." Shen Zhenghui replied, "And what I'm only talking about is my personal speculation, not necessarily right." Shen Zhenghui spread his hand and said.
"You look down on the awards of the festival?" Jia Yuan suddenly asked such a question.
"This ......" Shen Zhenghui showed a puzzled expression, "how can you say that you look down on it?" "I just know that I won't be favored by the festival, but I'm glad that a few of the cartoons I invested in have won good awards." β
"Is art cinema a precursor to commercial cinema?" Jia Yuan asked.
"It's mutual aid!" Shen Zhenghui emphasized, "It's like walking on two legs, focusing on that leg, and in the end you can't walk well." β
This guy's self-esteem is unexpectedly strong and sensitive. Shen Zhenghui said in his heart. (To be continued......)
PS: Windows automatic update last night, made my computer stuck to death, and the result was a minute late. After working hard for so long, did you fall short? I was not reconciled, I wrote 10,000 words today, and I did it!
