Chapter 278 Looking down

"Director Du, there are many discussions on the Internet now, and there are many different opinions about Guo Dalu saying he wants to shoot a literary film. As an art film director, what do you think?"

This is an entertainment interview program of Huaxia Weidong Provincial TV Station. Du Bin from Tianxi Film and Television Company was invited to Weidong TV Station and interact with the host Wang Xiaoran on the stage.

Since the Central Committee of China began to introduce Guo Dalu's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", other local TV stations seem to have received some orders. In the past, the news and news about Guo Dalu were stuck, but now there are no restrictions. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that these TV stations' ban on Guo Dalu has ended in all aspects.

In fact, since Guo Dalu sued Duojia TV and won the victory, no TV station has ever said that it would ban Guo Dalu on the surface, but if it doesn’t say it, the ban in essence is more powerful than any artist in the past.

Even Tianxi Film and Television, which cooperated with Guo Dalu, was hated by various TV stations. The works of several directors of Tianxi Film and Television Company cannot be broadcasted on various TV stations. They can only learn from Guo Dalu to use the online broadcast method. However, their works are neither hype nor well-known, and the quality is also average. When broadcasting online, basically few people like to watch them. They are pitifully low in traffic. The TV movies they shoot cannot even recover the cost.

There are now five or six directors working with Tianxi Film and Television, and there are three or four directors affiliated with Tianxi Film and Television employees. In addition, Guo Dalu, there are almost ten directors who maintain cooperative relationships with Tianxi Film and Television.

But among these ten directors, Guo Dalu is the only one who can really make money and bring huge benefits to Tianxi Film and Television.

The other ten directors earned not enough money to make as much money as Guo Dalu earned. Several directors even lost money in their works, which can be said to be losing money and gaining publicity.

Among these directors, there are TV drama directors and film directors. These directors are all from regular colleges and universities. In theory, they all have one set after another. When talking about films, from development to innovation, from innovation to improvement, from acting skills to color application, they can say that they don’t have the same meaning for a day, but once they talk about box office, they immediately talk about it.

Some directors who filmed TV series blamed Guo Dalu for their failures in their works. If it weren't for offending all the Chinese TV stations, how could the works they filmed failed? In the least they could make a small profit, but because of Guo Dalu, their TV works could not be broadcast on TV stations at all. Of course, the reason for this failure would have to be blamed on Guo Dalu.

These TV directors can at least attribute the failure to Guo Dalu, but these movie directors don’t even blame anyone.

Tianxi Group has the largest theater chain in China and even the world, which can ensure that all the movies made by Tianxi Film and Television can be released in its own theater chains, and there will never be any possibility of box office fraud.

Therefore, the film director has no excuse for his failure, especially when compared with Guo Dalu, his face is even more dull.

Du Bin is a film director at Tianxi Film and Television Company. He is in his forties, not tall and ordinary in appearance. Because his head is a bit bald, he is combed with a hairstyle surrounding the center. His fat belly is very conspicuous.

He is a director of art films and has had several films that expose the suffering of China. Although the actors' acting skills are not very good, the storyline of the film is also average. However, because he is "courageous to expose the dark side of the Chinese government", he aroused the interest of many overseas countries and praised him as one of the bravest directors in China internationally. Because of this reason, Du Bin has received praise from many film colleagues.

There is a very strange phenomenon in the Chinese film circle now. It seems that the more you shoot the ugly side of China, the more artistic the work is, and the more you can be loved by foreign filmmakers, the easier it is to win awards.

This has led to many filmmakers who want to win foreign film trophys and try their best to blacken their motherland in order to win the award, because only in this way can they please foreign judges and have the opportunity to win the award. Even if they are widely banned in order to win the award, they feel that it is worth it, and even feel that they are very tragic and should be considered as a hero among filmmakers.

Du Bin is one of the directors who was banned and was only lifted last year.

Due to some international praise, Du Bin is very enthusiastic. It is because the works he filmed are very risky and cannot attract investment at all. He "condescends and reduces the high" and finds Tianxi Film and Television and becomes a director within Tianxi Film and Television Company.

When Guo Dalu was filming "East and West" he joined Tianxi Film and Television, he only made a work that he was particularly satisfied with.

In fact, it is not too slow to make a work in a year and a half. As his own work, Du Bin spent a lot of energy to polish it until he felt that there were no flaws in all aspects, and then he was ready to put it into the market.

Tianxi Film and Television was afraid that this guy would go to death again, so he analyzed his work and sent it to Radio and Television for trial. After adding and deleting it a few times, he finally stamped the dragon seal. The review was finally passed. Only then did Tianxi Film and Television feel relieved and began to promote Du Bin's works.

Because the TV station canceled the ban on Guo Dalu, and Guo Dalu is the most topical artist in China today. Du Bin belongs to Tianxi Film and Television, which is considered half of Guo Dalu's colleague. In addition, he is now having new works released to promote. Adding up various reasons, Weidong TV invited him to visit to see if he could publish Guo Dalu's information, or comment on Guo Dalu's works or personality.

This interview program on Weidong TV is called "The Swordsman of Huashan". When you see this one, you will find out that it is taken from the plot of the Legend of the Condor Heroes.

The program of Weidong TV has just been aired for three episodes, and the response is very good. This program mainly invites some well-known people in the literary and artistic circles to make their own comments on today's literary and artistic works or cultural phenomena. Whether it is correct or not, but the commenters must be meaningful, and it is not OK to make up and talk nonsense. It doesn't matter if the words are sharp, because the sharper the more controversial it is. As long as there is controversy, there will be topics, and there will be more attention. The program is willing to comment on people and say something sharp.

"Well, I'm not very familiar with Director Guo, but I still know his style. If he was a commercial film, I believe no one would say anything. After all, every commercial film he had before was a confirmed success."

The female host of "The Sword Controversy in Huashan" is Qi Yu, who is a very intellectual woman. When she heard this, she asked curiously: "Director Du, you are an employee of Tianxi Film and Television, and Guo Dalu... Oh, I feel uncomfortable saying that Guo Dalu is, I should call him Master Guo. Now everyone calls him that."

Qi Yu smiled and said, "You are the director of Tianxi Film and Television, and Mr. Guo and Tianxi Film and Television are also in a cooperative relationship. They should have intersections. Why do you say you are not familiar with each other?"

Du Bin explained: "We are really not familiar with each other. I have been shooting movies outside in the past two years, and Guo Dalu rarely returns to the company. I have never met him before. It was only three months ago that I saw him when he got married. "

"Oh, so that's it."

Qi Yu looked suddenly enlightened, "Now Mr. Guo has been overseas for several months now. It is said that the movie is close to completion, but now everyone is not optimistic about his works. As a professional, do you have any opinions on Mr. Guo's work?"

Du Bin smiled and said, "I haven't finished a sentence just now. I'll continue to say that Guo Dalu's talent in commercial films can be said to be unparalleled, but he has suddenly switched to art films. To be honest, I really sweated for him."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I have seen Guo Dalu's works, how can I describe it? Let's put it this way, these works of Guo Dalu are all action movies, and they are all very exaggerated. They are not down-to-earth real events at all. The characters in them tend to be stereotyped, and they are basically dispensable for acting. For commercial films, acting skills are only necessary, but also for art films, not only are they required to have a good down-to-earth story, but also some actors with good acting skills, and the way the film director himself tells the story he was filmed, which all determine the success of a movie."

He said to Qi Yu: "But among these factors, Guo Dalu seems to have nothing. His previous works lack a delicate description, and the protagonists in them also lack a touching acting skills. In his style, he shoots delicate emotional art films, and it is a romantic art film. To be honest, I really don't think much of it."

Qi Yu was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, Du Bin, as an employee of Tianxi Film and Television, is a director like Guo Dalu. He should speak to Guo Dalu. How could he say such words?

Although she was surprised, she didn't show her face and said with a smile: "It seems that Director Du, you are not optimistic about Mr. Guo's art films. In fact, we are not optimistic about him."

She said this, looked at a group of audience members below, held the microphone and asked, "Do you think about Mr. Guo's new work?"

The audience in the audience shouted almost at the same time: "I don't think so!"

Qi Yu asked again: "When Mr. Guo's works were released, would you still watch them?"

This time the audience said in unison again: "Look!"

Qi Yu turned around and said to Du Bin, who was a little unfavorable on his face: "Although everyone is not optimistic about Mr. Guo's works, they are willing to support his works. Mr. Guo's appeal to the box office is really amazing."

Du Bin said lightly: "In today's society, the box office appeal of commercial film actors far exceeds that of literary and artistic films, which is really a sadness. Because the audience's aesthetics are still on the impetuous surface, few people care about the integrity of the theme of a movie and the expressiveness of the characters. Nowadays, everyone is only pursuing sensory stimulation and false stories, so Guo Dalu can succeed, and only our works that reflect real problems will be ignored."

He said to Qi Yu: "After the so-called love art film shot by Guo Dalu is released, you can compare it and you will find out how difficult it is to shoot a truly touching art film!"
