In fact, at the filming site of "Rise to Fame", Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen often overstepped their responsibilities on their behalf...

Shen Xudong... It doesn't matter!

If you are willing to contribute, he will be more worry-free.

Anyway, the name of this movie is him...

Shen Xudong is not the kind of person who has a desire for control and power.

According to the words of Chen Daoming and Gong Li: Shen Xudong is not a person who can be a director!

Indeed, when a qualified director shoots, from camera movement to editing, from the way the story is constructed to the rhythm of the mood, it is the mark that belongs to the director himself, and it will be obvious.

From the very beginning, Shen Xudong's work in artistic expression was lackluster.

Not to mention the use of thought, aesthetics, lens art, all kinds of montage...

Therefore, he is naturally not engaged in art!

It's more like engaging in marketing - "Rise to Fame", a good script, a group of good actors, a good schedule...

From the very beginning, the goal of fame and fortune was rushed!

But he has this condition.

As the new leader of the Beijing circle, there is no shortage of connections, funds, and official support...

By the way, "Rise to Fame" is a team building activity in the Beijing circle, so many directors and actors have come to make cameos...

Lu Chuan, Gao Qunshu, and Zhao Baogang all came.

……

""Nanjing" is not easy to film!"

Lu Chuan came over and made a cameo appearance as a passer-by who bought a newspaper, but he didn't even have lines...

The reason why I am willing to do this thing is that in addition to actively integrating into the circle, I also want to learn from all the elders, and the idea of looking for Shen Xudong to pull some investment...

Oh, he's working on "Nanjing".

"The core of war movies is all anti-war, and I feel that "Nanjing" is not anti-war... Therefore, I would like to establish two lines of sight, and China and Japan will jointly build this play! ”

“… On the Japanese side, a kind-hearted person at the beginning, he was coerced by the times and had to join the war..."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Xudong couldn't help but interject: "Focus on the tragic fate of the grassroots protagonist who is "involved in the war", focus on the irrational bloody killing, as if the war is a mad and unrestrained beast, mistakenly entering the world, driving good and innocent people to die... Such? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Yo, this passage is very movie review!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "... That's how Hollywood's narrative is done... But it doesn't fit our national conditions! You know, in modern times, European and American countries have been waging wars, and we are constantly facing invasions... Since we have been invaded, we must publicize the defense of the homeland and the country, and our righteousness as defenders! ”

"The war as the West knows it is to go out and rob... They don't understand that the Chinese soldiers are holding steel guns in their hands to protect their best homeland. ”

Lu Chuan has a different opinion: "Internationally..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Are you sick?" Do you know what the Nanjing Massacre represents? It's an unforgettable hatred, written in the history books, as long as you have been in elementary school, you know to defeat Japanese imperialism, you tell me to oppose the war? As a Chinese, what qualifications do you have to oppose the war? ”

“… As victims, from a simple point of view, a victim can often only see a part, but only the perpetrator of such atrocities can see the whole atrocity.

A Japanese attack began, entered the city of Nanjing, participated in the massacre, and witnessed the whole crime, his own mental journey, which was a great supplement to the whole Nanjing tragedy. ”

Lu Chuan continued: "The Nanjing tragedy is a major historical event with far-reaching impact. Looking back on history is to better understand the present and better plan for the future, so the treatment of this subject requires deeper thinking. If it is just to achieve the effect of public opinion of domestic audiences, then such a movie lacks meaning.

If this film is to carry these facts, carry these concepts, go out of China to influence the larger world, and let audiences outside China accept this point of view, the perspective of the Japanese people is not only necessary, but also something that must exist, and it has become a truth. ”

Shen Xudong was speechless, looked at Jiang Wen, and the latter also said: "Then there is no need for a Chinese to supplement!" ”

Feng Xiaogang also scolded: "My brain was kicked by a donkey!" Why don't you see Spielberg making a film that reflects on why the Jews suffered the Holocaust? Do you have a brain? ”

"With an international perspective, if you really want to make an anti-war film, you should refer to Mr. Bai Qiuen's "Trauma"..."

Excerpt from "Trauma":

‘… What is the reason for this cruelty, this stupidity? Why did the more than one million Japanese benzene workers come to China unjustly and kill thousands of Chinese, so why should the Japanese benzene workers attack the Chinese and force them to defend themselves? Is the death of the Chinese good for the Japanese Ben people?

Did they gain something?

So, God, who will profit?

Do these rich people dare to tell the workers that they just want cheap raw materials, a bigger market, and more profits?

No, they just told the workers that the war was for the "fate of the race", for the "glory of the emperor" and "the honor of the country", for their "emperor and country". ’

"If you really want to shoot anti-war, I'll give you a perspective" Shen Xudong suggested very pertinently: "You see, this person believes in the lies of the Japanese chaebol and thinks that he is fighting for a noble goal, but in fact, his mother starved to death and his sister was in a brothel, and he killed people who had no grievances with him in a foreign land... He did his best to not make his life better, nor did he make the world better, he simply became a tool for those with vested interests, and sacrificed his life for the good life of others, how sad it is. ”

After a pause, Shen Xudong looked at Lu Chuan: "If you shoot according to this idea, how much money is needed, I'll give it to you!" ”

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment: "I... I'll think about it..."

"Well, you just think about it..."

……

Lu Chuan left, and Jiang Wen couldn't help but say: "This guy has water in his brain!" ”

Gao Qunshu, who came over to eat on the side, said: "People call this an international vision..."

"Don't insult the word international!" Shen Xudong waved his hand: "He is a typical person who has no culture, and after reading a few local stalls, he feels that he understands history..."

"Do you think he'll write the script as you suggested?"

“… It's unlikely," Shen Xudong shook his head: "Our teacher commented on Lu Chuan before, saying that this person likes to pretend to be forced, but he can't pretend to be on point..."

"You teachers? Aren't you from Chinese opera? ”

"It's all the same, the teacher of the Chinese opera is not qualified to evaluate the play directed by Nortel?"

Shen Xudong is not the kind of cynical person, he is very interested in his mainland counterparts... Nothing to think about.

Lu Chuan's director level is still there!

It's just that his self-positioning has always been an art director who wants to take the direction of a master...

Therefore, his films like to create a sense of epic, a sense of the times and a sense of ritual, like the depth of human nature, like those grand propositions and words...

If he really shoots "Nanjing!" in the direction that Shen Xudong said! That... Everyone is happy, and there is one more masterpiece in Chinese films...

Of course, the probability is not large, after all, it is Taro Lukawa!

Jiang Wen suddenly looked at Shen Xudong: "... Do you have any good work lately? ”

Shen Xudong was a little confused: "... Yes? Opus? ”

"Script!"

“… Not really... However, I bought the adaptation rights of a few films some time ago. ”

"Which ones?"

""The Story of the Thief", "The Wind"..."

Jiang Wen looked surprised: "You bought "The Wind"? ”

Well?

No, shouldn't you be interested in "The Story of the Thief"?
