Chapter 71 Firm Faith
A group of literary and artistic young people in China are very conceited groups.
They feel that they are different, sensitive, moaning, and pretentious. They are penniless and still not as good as the world, and they are clearly lacking in ideals and want to live a magnificent life.
Those who make literary and artistic movies have innate talents in this regard.
Shen Lin is not good, it is too far away, he wants to live a wonderful life, so he has a plan and goes up step by step according to the plan, but this is fatal to literary and artistic youth. They think life should be blown up, so why are you working hard?
The ancients said that he was full of poetry and literature. Li Zehou or Zhang Yimou were real literary and artistic lovers. Once you compare, you will see that most people who claim to be literary and artistic youth truly understand literature and art?
So, they talk about art films, why? Because no one watches it!
Liao Qingsong is an absolute art film enthusiast. He is not only an editor himself, but also has edited many art film directors, but also filmed movies, "Looking for You to Grow Up" and "The Sea Water is Blue".
So, in his opinion, a commercial director like Chen Lin is definitely a cancer of Chinese-language films - even though he has also filmed "Carol".
Originally, Chen Lin was the most famous judge of this time, but he did not rely on his identity to say anything. From the beginning, he made up his mind to watch the movie quietly.
Fortunately, most of these people are biased against him. Except for the end of each movie, everyone will ask him to say a few words according to the process, and rarely let him speak.
Chen Lin didn't care, and he had no opinion anyway. In his opinion, these works were barely considered a complete story, except for "Happiness and Mourning", and other works can be summarized in two words - bad movies, including "Embaring an Evil".
But this "The Great Wall of Wild" really exceeded his bottom line. It was too bad and could not find any advantages at all.
He said it to the truth: "Sorry, my tolerance for movies has a bottom line. If a movie keeps disgusting me in the first ten minutes, I will definitely leave!"
Liao Qingsong was also very straightforward: "Haha, you're right, but you have to understand that this is a director's debut work..."
"Then what?"
"Shouldn't we give these young directors some encouragement? With a little tolerant mentality..."
"Teacher Liao, if a director's debut is so bad, I can clearly conclude that this person will not achieve anything in the movie!"
“…”
"But he is obviously exploring new film forms, using the technique of large narratives in small spaces..."
"Is this something worth encouraging for a person who just learned to walk but wants to run? I don't think there is anything to encourage. The most important thing about the debut work is the director's narrative ability rather than the structure and style. To put it bluntly, I didn't even establish the style. What qualifications do they have to talk about style?"
Chen Lin said it very realistically. Some common problem with new directors is that I must shock the world and let people see my talent. Therefore, I try my best to play with my style and try my best to move towards a niche direction.
Can you watch the movie you made?
With so many directors who like to play style, who has become a master?
How many movie masters are remembered are directors who lose money in various ways?
Liao Qingsong is an elder, so Chen Lin restrained himself and did not swear, but his views were completely contrary to Chen Lin.
The other judges didn't say anything, after all, the King of Sunglasses didn't speak, so he simply left in disagreement.
...
"Fang Jianhao, I want to recover all the funds I have sponsored the Xining Film Festival every year..."
After leaving the house, Chen Lin called Fang Jianhao very resentful and told him what he saw at the Xining Film Festival these days: "...I originally thought this would be Sundance in China. After I came, I knew where Sundance was here. It was obviously a group of utopias that advocated literary and artistic films to be happy!"
"...But, Mr. Chen, if he rashly cancels the sponsorship directly, it will have a bad impact on the company..."
Fang Jianhao actually didn't agree with Chen Lin's series of decisions, such as spending so much money every year to help a film festival that doesn't see any rewards, and the previous online art theater plan.
However, he knew that Chen Lin's original intention was just to make Chinese films more diverse. In addition, Chen Lin's ability to make money is indeed not bad, so he didn't stop him.
"... Then what should you do now? By the way, I don't even want to do that literary and artistic theater plan..."
"Did you hear any bad news?"
Fang Jianhao asked carefully.
"What bad news?"
Chen Lin felt nervous and asked quickly.
"It's just that many so-called art films want to be launched on our art theaters, and force us to buy copyrights. If we don't buy one, we will say we discriminate against them..."
These days, Fang Jianhao has become too big.
Originally, I discussed it well with IQIYI, and spent 500 million to set up an online art theater chain at one time, which not only allowed a group of art enthusiasts to feel the company's sense of responsibility, but also made contributions to Chinese films.
As a result, I became a Kaizi. I don’t know where a group of people with copyrights of art films came out, crying and shouting that the Literary and Art Cinemas wanted their copyrights to be recycled.
Fang Jianhao organized more than 50 people to watch it, responsible for screening out a round of art films that normal people can understand, and then launched the Art Cinema.
It's normal. This has been decided before. What can be spread online and what cannot be decided by ourselves. Then, those people quit, make trouble, fan the flames online, saying that Zhao Liying's studio looks down on them. The purpose of doing these things is to make money.
Please, I'm free, I'll make money!
Logically speaking, such a mentally retarded remark should not cause any storm, but some people believe it, and a bunch of people believe it, all kinds of black materials and the revelations are solid...
Fang Jianhao was almost annoyed.
"Oh! Let's wait for the time being, wait for three months. Once three months arrive, I will withdraw my investment."
Damn, I won’t play anymore!
It depends on how you guys are shady!
"But, will this be too credible? After all, we have already done a lot of publicity at the beginning..."
"What does it matter? You just say we can't stand it anymore. Since some people say we want to make money, we won't do it."
Chen Lin was very frank. Fortunately, when he was promoting this literary and artistic theater, he did not say too much, and left a way out for himself. He said bluntly, "If you can't continue, you will withdraw your investment."
“…Where is the new director’s plan?”
"It won't affect you. When the funds are recovered, we will set up a movie foundation and support our own people!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lin began to reflect on himself. Perhaps because he was getting closer to the day of rebirth, his approach was becoming more and more contrary to his original intention.
Damn, is it your business to be good for literary and artistic movies?
Will people look down on you because you provide funds?
Reality gave him a big mouth in blood, and people treated him like a kid!
