Chapter 123 Work Plan

When John King heard Chen Lin's answer, he immediately became interested.

After all, it is wrong for the whole United States. It should be said that the whole West is rehabilitating homosexuality. LgBT is the hottest word in the world.

Aoguanhai is really amazing. After coming to the stage, he didn’t do anything practical, but he did a lot of messy things, LgBT, national medical insurance!

The most direct consequence of the popular LgBT is that discrimination against homosexuality is equivalent to racial discrimination!

Once populism becomes more and more difficult to suppress.

John King followed and asked, "Don't you support homosexuality?"

"No, John, if I don't support homosexuality, do you think I'd shoot "Carol"?"

Chen Lin hurriedly denied, "Damn it, if it was revealed at this time that he opposed the legalization of homosexuality, not to mention the Oscars and the Golden Globes, he probably couldn't even stay in the United States. No, I guess he couldn't even stay in China. After all, there are a lot of public intellectuals in China who are idle and often have some slutty articles that suggest promoting the legalization of homosexuality!

"Chen Lin, can you talk about your idol? Many people say you will be 'Next Stephen Spielberg'. What do you think?"

"Haha, really? This is the first time I have heard someone comment on me like this."

Chen Lin smiled, without showing any expression of honor or anger on his face, as if being compared with Stephen Spielberg was just a normal thing for him to be irrelevant.

"Actually, I have always liked director Tonadore. The first thing I was interested in movies is that I fell in love with movies because of his "Cinema of Paradise"..."

"So, your idol is Tonadore, not Stephen?"

John King made a mistake.

"No, I admire a lot of movie masters,"

Chen Lin sorted out the language and continued: "Whether it is Tonadore, Hitchcock, Francis Coppola, and of course Stephen, their movies have opened the door to a new world for me, but I don't think I can reach the level of a master."

"Why? You should know that many people have called you the 'Next Master'!"

I'm going, where do you get so many next ones?

"…The times are changing. In my opinion, the director must understand that if his works are accepted by the audience, he must keep up with the times, break away from the times or go against the times, and the works he shoots will only be abandoned by the audience! My thoughts determine that I will always be a second-rate director."

"But, the real master will lead the times."

"So I said I can't become a master!"

"Haha, Shen, you are the most interesting director I have ever met!"

John King laughed, probably he thought Chen Lin's answer was just a unique humility among the Orientals.

Chen Lin could only laugh dryly, he didn't know what was ridiculous about this thing.

"By the way, Chen, do you know the news that Chinese capital has begun to enter Hollywood in recent years?"

After all, John King is a professional journalist. He laughed twice and continued his interview.

"I know."

Chen Lin nodded, after all, this thing is already well known to everyone in the circle.

"Then do you think this is a good thing for the movie?"

"Of course, North America is the world's largest box office market, and China is currently the world's second largest market with unlimited potential. It is of course a good thing to cooperate between the two sides."

"But many people are worried that if our movies start to please the Chinese government, they will lose their own characteristics..."

"Hasn't Hollywood always been like this? Big movies are always for the global market. I don't quite understand why you are so hostile to Chinese capital."

Chen Lin looked at John King seriously: "Is it a sin to invest in you?"

“…Why do you think the exhibition of modern technology is an improvement or a regression for films as a director?”

John King was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He looked down at the notebook and asked the next question.

Chen Lin still didn't think much: "Of course it is an improvement, just like Vcd is replaced by dVd. Technology has always been the first element to promote imagery. With digital photography, it reduces the difficulty of shooting a movie, and many people can be directors!"

"While film artists advocate traditional art forms, they will also be impacted by modern technology - this is a challenge that artists must face. However, even if movies are considered to be the product of technology, they will face more and greater impacts."

“Now you have become one of the most famous directors in the world. Does this make some difference to your creation and life?”

"It will be a little different. The public's requirements for me will become higher and higher, but I have a clear understanding of myself. I am a movie shooter and a storyteller. I have no answers on how I think it is for everyone. However, what I have to do is to have feelings for each movie, and then loyally take out my feelings about the world and the creation of my feelings to the audience and sincerely communicate with the audience."

John King's notebook finally turned to the last page.

He asked, "Have you ever thought about the future? Many people think that you can build a bridge of communication between East and West through your films..."

"I'm not that great. I think it's better to leave cultural communication to the government. I'd better make my movies with peace of mind!"

Chen Lin directly interrupted his question.

Why do everything have to be so profound?

"Then what work plans do you have in the future? Will it be easier to reveal some?"

This is ready to finish.

"In the next three years, I may have to be busy filming a large-scale tomb robber... No, it should be said to be an adventure-themed movie, and I will try my best to find time to discover some new domestic filmmakers. Of course, I want to spend more time with my family. I have been busy filming for so many years and rarely have time with them. I feel very guilty."

"Haha, many actors or directors are like this! When it comes to discovering new filmmakers, do you have specific plans?"

"Well, in June this year, I will attend the Xining Youth Film Festival as a judge..."

"Xi…Xining?"

John King obviously had never heard of this film festival, and even Xining was difficult to spell.

"It's a city in our country. You can go and have a look. It's pretty..."

"But, can a film festival alone discover new filmmakers?"

John King was still a little confused.

"In fact, every province in our country has a corresponding film festival that encourages new filmmakers to set up. Xining Youth Festival is a film festival with relatively strong influence. Many filmmakers, especially new directors, will regard participating in the Xining Film Festival as a very glorious thing."

"What would you do?"

"I will invest in the first three works of directors I am optimistic about. After all, no matter how talented the director is, he still needs the experience of his works."
