Han Han and Guo Jingming, the two sleeping dragons and phoenixes, can definitely represent the post-80s writers to enter the history of Chinese literature.

One of his works is shallow and pretentious, hollow and barren, and soulless, which can be called the truest portrayal of today's society.

Literary history should remember the spirit of the times represented by his works, and let future generations see what kind of literature was born and popular on the flashy soil of this era.

The second is that the central media has set the tone as the protagonist of "the biggest scandal in the contemporary literary world", and the "public idiot Han Han" who is called "honest and shameful" by the Hong Kong media, has the absolute strength to compete for the top spot of contemporary literary liars.

The history of literature should also let future generations remember that there was such a semi-literate boy who had no ink on his chest, but he was also able to write equal works, was packaged as an opinion leader, a public intellectual, and even won the reputation of "contemporary Lu Xun".

This is our little time!

The two post-80s writers who grew up in the "Whistling Age" are still two sides of the same coins in this era - one side is flashy, and the other side is a lie.

Han Han became famous... It's a new concept essay contest, but I avoided the notarized essay contest scene, and successfully ran the make-up test, but the invigilator was his father's friend, and there was only one person, and the result was still the first prize!

By the way, after Fang Zhouzi vs. Han Han, a reporter from "Nandu Entertainment Weekly" asked Guo Jingming: If Fang Zhouzi accuses you of ghostwriting one day, how can you prove yourself?

Guo Jingming replied: 'Shut me up in a room every minute and write a book for you!' ’

directly slapped Han Han's so-called "writers have no way to prove themselves".

Shen Xudong's answer made the scene a little commotion - although he didn't say it explicitly, it actually meant to accuse Han Han...

Sa Beining hurriedly took control of the field: "Okay, next." ”

Then a little fat man with glasses stood up and muttered a lot, summing up two meanings: what do you think of today's star-chasing phenomenon and... What do you think of the sentence 'no one asks about the dry bones of heroes, and the world knows about the family affairs of the drama'.

Yo, it's all very difficult.

The first question, about chasing stars, Shen Xudong replied: "I didn't understand it at first, and I was shocked, especially when I knew that many fans spent five figures chasing stars, I was reluctant to spend so much money on myself!"

I used to like Jay Chou, but I haven't bought his genuine album... Later, our company began to be an artist agent, and I slowly learned that for teenagers, chasing stars can provide her with a "sense of remote intimacy" and a "sense of group identity" among the fan group. This can somewhat compensate for some of her pain in real life. ”

"Chasing stars is because the child has reached adolescence and his sense of self-independence has increased, he feels that he has grown up, his parents and teachers are no longer the objects of his worship, and the idol looks beautiful, and he hopes to become a perfect person like an idol in his heart, and he will be noticed by everyone, so he projects this idea onto the idol and rejoices together."

“… This kind of thing is actually an experience in life, there is nothing to say, but nothing can be extreme, extreme phenomena make star chasing tasteless, values are lacking and biased, social ethics are left behind, and even suspected of breaking the law and committing crimes... This is something to be concerned about by society! ”

"As for the drama you said, the world knows... In fact, it is the platform report, which gives us the illusion that the drama is known to the world, the platform actually loves traffic, not the drama, compared to praising the hero, most people are more keen to belittle the drama, since the traffic is on the side of the drama, the platform naturally conforms to the public opinion and pushes the drama everywhere.

But let's imagine that if it were in a country full of wars, it would not be possible and would not be in a situation where "the life of an entertainment star is known to the world"!

In addition, since the founding of our party, there have been more than 3 million martyrs and more than 20 million unsung heroes. Ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment, and if they know how to cherish it, they will live up to the soul of the martyrs... History will only remember the heroes, not the plays! ”

……

Shen Xudong replied very sincerely...

In fact, these things have been discussed by countless people in later generations, and they are not difficult problems at all.

Shen Xudong was a little disappointed...

That's it?

Isn't that a tricky question?

Then a woman stood up: "Xudong, we all know that you have made a lot of horror thrillers in the United States, do you like this kind of movie?" ”

"I don't have any preference for movies, if I have to say, I personally like movies with logic and strong storytelling, and the reason why I make horror movies is very simple, cheap and easy to pay for itself..."

"So, those movies you made for the money?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "That's right, "Human Removal Plan" and "Ghost Record" were filmed to make money... Do you think that I went to the United States and Hollywood to build a Hollywood literary career? ”

"And what do you think of Hollywood movies?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I won't say it, you don't like it either..."

Hollywood movies are in an easy-to-understand story, and then make them more difficult to understand - don't go around in circles... Chop the story into a mash... Spoonfuls are fed directly to the audience.

If you don't eat it and refuse, it means that you have grown up and can't stand those more vulgar and uninnovative film and television works.

The core logic of capital operation can also be said to be the conservative thinking of the inertial production of several major studios, who are definitely not engaged in art, and they will not love creation.

They only care about the box office of the movie: calculate the cost of production, such as how much money is spent on shooting, how much money is paid for actors, how many copper plates are required for publicity... After sharing with the cinema chain and other partner companies, the net profit in hand?

That's the only purpose for which they make movies.

It is estimated that this person wants that Shen Xudong to blow a wave of Hollywood, but unfortunately, Shen Xudong doesn't buy it at all...

Sa Beining controlled the scene again: "The director's aesthetics of the movie are indeed different from the aesthetics of our ordinary people..."

In the end, Ma Hao finally made a move: "I think you are regressing, your first film "Outstanding Citizen", then "The Aviator", and then "The Grandmaster"... But I watched the trailer for "Detective Chinatown" and it felt like it was a pure comedy..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "Why do you say that?" ”

"I think 'Citizen Illustrium' is very good, and 'The Aviator' is really good... But I don't like movies like "Thai Embarrassment"... I feel that the film should be artistic, so that it can leave a name in film history! ”

Actually, what he said is right, from the perspective of film history, how many people remember the most popular American or Western commercial films of the 1960s? But Godard's work has been studied!

So, the most popular commercial films of the 10s of the 21st century will finally be forgotten...

What can leave a historical mark may be what we think is a niche literary film now!

Shen Xudong smiled: "This depends on the genre and the purpose of the film project, "Outstanding Citizen" and "Aviator" I wrote with the purpose of winning awards, including "The Grandmaster" also wants to prove that I can win awards, but "Tang Detective" is a Spring Festival movie..."

"So, you're going to completely shift from literary to commercial?"

"I suggest that you can wait for the results of the Berlin Film Festival, "Big Buddha" directed by Zhang Yi is my script, in addition, there is also a "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, both films were released in March..."

"I want to say that you are so rich, why do you want to make commercial films?"

Shen Xudong couldn't help it: "How many movies have you watched?" What is Impressionism? What is Realism? What is Romanticism? What is Avant-Garde? What is Academic?

You know?

Commercial films are not linked to bad films, and art films are not the same as good movies!

Hollywood, if there is no literary film, the whole Hollywood may be affected to a certain extent, but if there is no commercial film, then the whole Hollywood is basically dead...

It's 2013, how can there still be people who despise commercial films?

Making movies is a commercial activity, at most it is divided into film and art flim, which is also for the distinction between the mass market and the niche market, in my opinion, all movies are only excellent, mediocre and bad..."
