Chapter 150: The Comer Is Not Good
Zhang Shichuan walked out of the theater, and the tears in the corners of his eyes had not dried.
Even though he has been running a drama club for many years, he is used to seeing the joys and sorrows on the stage, and has already reached the stage of emotional numbness, but he still can't help crying after watching this "Mom Loves Me Again".
There is the softest part of everyone's heart, and this movie touches that part of the audience's heart.
In addition to this reason, the high quality of the film's shooting is the key to success, and of course the sound is powerful.
As one of China's earliest filmmakers, he understands the gap better than others, and the star film companies have raised the level of Chinese films too high, causing other film companies to not keep up with them.
When he watched "Home of the Naughty Boy", he still felt that he couldn't shoot this kind of funny comedy.
But "Mom Loves Me Again" made him feel that this gap would take at least a few years to make up, and it was not a gap in shooting equipment, but a gap in the concept of film creation.
The director of this film is Hong Shen, who is famous for his pursuit of perfection.
It is said that because of the filming of a crying scene, he felt that the heroine Wang Hanlun's crying was not perfect enough, so she cried all afternoon.
There are no actors who have worked with him who don't complain, but complaining is complaining, but they won't really get stiff, because Hong Shen has a unique personal charm, and he is good at telling actors.
He has studied drama performance abroad for many years, and he can see what an actor lacks, so he will selflessly teach his own set of acting methods to the actors.
Those actors feel that they can learn something by filming with Hong Shen, so they will tolerate his perfectionist style.
Take Wang Hanlun as an example, she had never acted before coming to Star Film Company, but after filming "Mom Loves Me Again", she has been reborn, and it feels completely different.
Lin Zixuan plans to let Hong Shen give lessons to the students of the Star Film and Drama School and introduce Western performance methods to China.
Zhang Shichuan also knows Hong Shen, a young man who returned from studying in the United States, who is extremely active in the drama and film worlds.
In the drama industry, Hong Shen advocated the operation of professional theater companies, carried out bold innovations, and published many articles introducing Western theater theories, which were well received by people in the drama circles.
In terms of films, he filmed "Sunrise" and "Mommy Loves Me Again".
Although the plot of "Sunrise" is dull and depressing, it is undeniable that the shooting is very good and artistic, and "Mom Loves Me Again" is a tear-jerking drama, and Hong Shen's grasp of emotional scenes is very good.
Such an excellent talent was co-opted by Lin Zixuan.
Zhang Shichuan found that Hong Shen, like Lin Zixuan, had returned from studying in the United States, and they understood the most advanced film concepts abroad, and they also dared to innovate the bad habits at home, so as to leave other film companies behind.
Even Zheng Zhengqiu learned the American way of shooting on the set of Hollywood, and it is said that "Havoc in Heaven" is even more exciting.
Ten years ago, Zheng Zhengqiu was only responsible for writing a script for him.
This kind of comparison before and after made Zhang Shichuan extremely unwilling, if Lin Zixuan came to him at the beginning......
Zhang Shichuan still remembers that Lin Zixuan first invited him to co-establish a film company.
It's just that at that time, he was bent on entering the securities industry and was ready to make a lot of money, so he refused without even thinking about it, so Lin Zixuan went to find Zheng Zhengqiu.
Who would have thought that after a financial crisis that has not been encountered for many years, only 12 of the 140 securities companies in Shanghai would barely survive, and the rest would go bankrupt and go bankrupt.
This incident made him regret it a lot.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world, since he rejected Lin Zixuan at the beginning, there is no reason to run over and stammer now.
He has been a character in the Shanghai drama industry for many years, no matter how much he pays attention to interests, it is impossible to bow to a junior, he can bring down Zheng Zhengqiu's Xinmin Society in the past, and now he can defeat Lin Zixuan's star film company.
Zhang Shichuan and Shao Zuihum co-founded Tianyi Film Company, and he persuaded Shao Zuihum to invest in a kung fu feature film.
If it were before today, he would still be quite complacent, because this kung fu movie is not the kind of shoddy thing, but a movie that he carefully prepared, called "Tai Chi Grandmaster".
The film tells the legendary life of a generation of Tai Chi master Yang Luchan.
Yang Luchan was born in 1799, likes to practice martial arts, when he was young, he watched people practice martial arts in Chenjiagou, Wen County, Henan.
At that time, Chen Changxing, the successor of Chen's Taijiquan, abandoned the view of the portal, and saw that he was a material that could be made, so he taught Taijiquan to him.
After Yang Lu completed his studies, he returned to Yongnian County, lived in Taihetang Pharmacy, and made a living by teaching boxing.
He opened a museum in the capital to teach apprentices, and gradually carried forward Taijiquan.
In his later years, he was invited to the palace to teach boxing, because many of his disciples were born in high ranks and were courteous, which made the social status and influence of Taijiquan extraordinary.
Although the rules of martial arts in the old society were large, there were also many battles.
Yang Luchan is known as "Yang Invincible" who fought all over the capital and became a generation of martial arts masters because every time he competed with other martial artists in the ring, he was immediately popular, and he would succeed when he made a sound.
"Jinmen Hero Huo Yuanjia" played a heroic spirit, and "Tai Chi Grandmaster" contains the grandmaster's temperament.
Zhang Shichuan thought that he could compete with "Tai Chi Grandmaster" and Star Film Company's "Havoc in Heaven", so he invited a master who really knew Tai Chi to play Yang Luchan.
But after seeing the effects that sound movies can achieve, his confidence is insufficient.
Moreover, Lin Zixuan almost monopolized half of the theaters in Shanghai, and he teamed up with the Spaniard Remas to drive other film companies to a dead end, and they must not go on like this.
Zhang Shichuan decided to invite several other film companies to talk together and come up with a way to deal with star film companies.
In particular, the Commercial Press's activity film and drama department, with the huge financial support of the Commercial Press, and Zhang Shichuan belong to the Ningbo Gang, which is the leader of Shanghai's business community.
He was sure that he would persuade these film companies to join forces, and he could also get financial support from the Ningbo Guild Hall, because Lin Zixuan belonged to the Jiangsu gang and was not in the same group as them.
Thus, a loose film alliance was formed.
They are ready to seize the resources of cinemas in Shanghai, and they will also attack star film companies.
He dug heavily into the actors and technicians of the Star Film Company, smeared the films of the Star Film Company in the newspapers, and even used the powerful power of the Commercial Press to suppress Lin Zixuan's Vientiane Bookstore.
This is the beginning of a civil war for Chinese film companies.
Lin Zixuan received news from Zhou Shoujuan, and there was an attack on "Mom Loves Me Again" in the newspaper, thinking that this movie praises a shameless woman.
In this era, unmarried pregnancy is a shame for a woman, indicating that the woman does not know self-love, deserves to be abandoned by a man, and is not worthy of raising children.
And the movie still has to speak for such a woman, which is really against morality and conscience, and should be banned.
In the supplement of "Declaration", Zhou Shoujuan can suppress this kind of article, but other tabloids don't care about this, and publish this kind of news to attract the attention of readers.
For tabloids, there is controversy before there is sales.
Lin Zixuan felt that this smear was too strange, and the focus of the newspaper report two days ago was on the attention to the disadvantaged, and suddenly the direction of the wind changed.
It seems that this time it is not good!
