A director who can film "Carol" so delicately and is actually an oriental, and what is even more shocking is that he is still a young director who is not as young as thirty!

Just flip through his resume, a series of achievements will definitely blind the krypton-gold dog eyes of these members of the Hollywood Foreign Reporter Association.

This is true for people. If you do a little better than you, you will feel that this guy is just lucky, but if you are more than one class higher than you, you may be impressed.

This is what Chen Lin is like.

If you only achieve some achievements in the commercial film field, it is not surprising. After all, Chen Lin is more than a little bit away from Cameron and Spielberg, but Chen Lin still makes some achievements in the field of art films.

"Dallas Buyer Club" is known as the best movie in 2013, and "Carol" is also a recognized masterpiece!

If these are not enough, then what if he is the screenwriter of some of the best American dramas in recent years?

Breaking Bad, Mad Men, plus the author of The Hunger Games.

Anyone who sees this resume will involuntarily praise him, "This is a genius!"

What's more, behind Chen Lin is the largest Chinese market!

"Shen, this is Dagma Dunleavy, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association."

Bill led Chen Lin to a white man in his sixties.

"Hello, Mr. Chairman..."

"Hello, young Chinese director."

Dagma Dunleavy's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Lin.

"I really want to know how many people are paying attention to the Golden Globe Awards in China?"

After a few simple conversations, Mr. Chairman went straight to the topic.

“…second only to the Oscar.”

Chen Lin thought for a while and replied.

"Haha, then what do you think is the best way to increase your influence?"

"Mr. Chairman, as a Chinese, I think what we are most concerned about is of course our own movies, and other than that..."

"Ok, I get it!"

Dagma Dunleavy smiled and picked up the champagne and left.

"Water? What does he know?"

Chen Lin was a little confused. He had just started to speak and was about to talk about the superstars that the Chinese people paid the most. How did he know?

"Shen, you have a very talented PR."

Bill Dorothy looked at Chen Lin with a complicated face: "Why didn't I expect the high influence you have in China..."

Damn, I thought you would say, ‘Learn to cook with me!’

...

Variety Show Magazine is the oldest professional Hollywood magazine in the United States. Its content involves movies, TV, music, industry, etc. It is not only extremely influential among ordinary readers and industry subscribers, but also the fastest channel for Hollywood information laying.

Most Hollywood actors regard "Variety Show" weekly as the most authoritative industry magazine. It must be a very honorable thing to be invited to interview by "Variety Show".

"I'm honored to interview you, Director Chen Lin, I'm a reporter for Variety Show, John King."

"Hello, John."

The two shook hands and sat down directly in the office specially prepared for this interview in the Touchstone.

Chen Lin glanced at the reporter. Yin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and a white shirt, was a standard North American intellectual. By the way, his eyes were very sharp.

The appearance is born from the heart, and Chen Lin is already alert in his heart. I guess this person is not easy to talk to!

"Ok, let's start."

John King spread out his laptop with him, and at the same time gestured to the photographer behind him, signaling to open the mirror.

"Director Chen Lin, many people are very interested in you. Most of you already know about your experience. Can you tell me, why did you transform from a writer to a director?"

Chen Lin thought for a moment and replied: "I have always liked movies. From the beginning, I have been thinking about making a movie..."

"We learned that the Chinese film market is very... very unique, and it seems that many people can be directors?"

"I think the profession of director is not so sacred and unsatisfactory. Evaluating a good director should not be based on whether he is from a college. The so-called professional director does not directly mean that a person who has studied the director major. Considering the professionalism of a director, it depends more on whether he has worked as a director before, how many years he has worked as a director, and how many films he has worked as a director. Regarding your question, I think it may be because our Chinese film market has been developing rapidly in recent years, and more directors need to invest in the film industry."

"But we can clearly see that many directors in China who have transformed halfway through the process seem to be not that successful, and their evaluation is also very low..."

"But there are many people who succeeded, for example, I..."

Chen Lin immediately answered first.

John King smiled apologetically, opened the notepad, and then asked: "We know that you have many movies, commercial and art films, all shot..."

Chen Lin kept listening, but he was thinking, "Damn, why is Hollywood so tacky? Do you want to ask about the balance between art and commercial films?"

"But last year, you filmed "Operation Mekong". As we understand, this is a work invested by your government. This movie was filmed entirely to cater to the political needs of officials. Many movie fans who had expectations for you think you are very similar to director Zhang Yimou, and now you have become a journalist of the Chinese government. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Damn it!

mmmp!

Chen Lin almost slapped the table and stood up.

It's so vicious, can you even ask this kind of question?

"I have said more than once that movies are just movies, and it is best not to be involved in politics."

"Operation Mekong is a real-life movie. When I saw this report in the newspaper, I felt that this story has the potential to be a movie. As for the government you mentioned, it is certain. After all, it involves political events. Isn't this a normal thing? There are also many movies of this type in Hollywood, such as "Escape from Tehran" and "Assassination" all full of political meanings? Even Oscars pay attention to political correctness!"

"Secondly, I don't quite understand why I'm the government's censor when I shoot it, and you're a good movie when you shoot it. The double standard is a bit too much!"

"And, I hope to change the impression of China in the past with my influence. Today, China is very strong, not the poverty and backwardness shown in a bunch of art films thirty years ago."

Chen Lin was a little excited, but soon returned to calm. After all, there was a camera that always took his expression.

"Western countries have a fixed impression of China, human rights and democracy. By the way, there is another 'threat' recently. To be honest, you people should really come to China for a look..."

"Ok, let's go back to the movie, why did we shoot the movie "Carol"? What do you think of homosexuality?"

"I like Patricia Highsmith very much. All her works are read, of course, including "The Price of Salt". The idea of ​​filming "Carol" actually came into being as early as O7 years ago, but I never had the chance and there was no suitable actor. Last year I met Gong Li and found that her temperament is very suitable for the movie, so I got this movie."
