In fact, Chen Kai has been doing Shen Changwei's ideological work.
When both of them were young, they both started making local films.
One made "Sorghum" and the other made "Lantern". Later, they went on to become internationally acclaimed directors. They were well-received domestically and are known as one of the most representative directors of the Five Generations of Cinema.
In a sense, the two of them are even slightly related to each other: they both worked at Yan Film Studio, held the same position, and had the same teacher.
Unfortunately, Shen Changwei has always kept a certain distance from Chen Kai.
Even when Chen Kai and Shen Changwei chatted about their old friendship and some past movie events, Shen Changwei only maintained a polite attitude on the phone from beginning to end.
Director Chen, I have to go filming. In the next week, I may have to film a movie. Haha, you are welcome to come to my crew to inspect and give advice.
Whenever Chen Kai wants to talk about the current status of the film industry, or when he reveals something about the association's arrangements to Shen Changwei openly or secretly, Shen Changwei will always give him the right words.
On the morning of September 21st, when Chen Kai heard this sentence, his polite smile gradually stiffened, and then he agreed without a smile.
I feel annoyed and angry, but I have no way to vent it.
Shen Changwei's temperament is like this. When the China Film Association was established, everyone invited him to take up positions such as vice president, vice chairman, honorary lecturer of Yanying, etc., but they were all rejected by Shen Changwei. She refused. Except for some important meetings on weekdays, Shen Changwei rarely came over for meetings. Only occasionally when he couldn't attend, he would attend for a while and then leave immediately.
It feels quite unique.
Damn it, there is a traitor in the China Film Association!
After waiting for a long time, Chen Kai cursed and said these words in the office.
Then thinking about Wang Shuai's reaction on the phone half an hour ago, Chen Kai felt quite alienated.
Director Chen, this is almost a suicidal act. It’s too late to stop now, otherwise it will be doomed!
All of them were used in a desperate situation, which almost put Chen Kai on the pillar of shame of the rebellion.
Artists are generally quite paranoid and confident at the same time. When they are immersed in something, they want to go all the way to darkness.
I never stop at a cliff, let alone feel like I'm standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the abyss with chills.
He just felt unhappy and even more sad.
I feel that the China Film Association is like a ball of loose sand, starting to become less united. Together, everyone can enjoy this piece of meat and better meet the challenges of the new era, but they tend to go their own way.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s right. Isn’t it a shame to call Wang Shuai?
Wang Shuai and Zhou Yang.
From the beginning of "The Mine" to "The Crow", the two of them were wearing the same pants. In a sense, Wang Shuai still had some relationship between master and apprentice, and it was impossible to accompany them to suppress Zhou Yang.
Moreover, Wang Shuai is only over 30 years old this year. Although he has caught up with the last train of the fifth generation of directors, he is still a young man in their eyes.
Young head is green
What's the pattern?
At nine o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door in Chen Kai's office.
…
When the assistant pushed the door in and took out a piece of information, Chen Kai's expression gradually became gloomy.
He rarely smoked, but he took up smoking on a rare occasion.
The information is from James Bond's speech at the premiere of "Jaws" in Germany
This speech almost put Zhou Yang on the altar of movie atmosphere.
And in China
These enthusiastic movie fans directly blew Zhou Yang to the sky!
The domestic version of "Big White Basin" does not have any bloody scenes, it is entirely based on the atmosphere and the suspenseful plot that makes you think deeply.
It is very similar to some horror movies. Although "Shark" rarely appears, it even appears a few times at the end and middle, but it makes people feel chilled after watching it.
The overseas full version of "Big White Basin" is completely different. It is about 20 minutes longer than the domestic version. These 20 minutes of plot are all bloody, broken limbs, bloody violence, and even a vicious great white shark.
The scene of the ground biting a person's thigh and drawing out bloody bones.
"Jaws" started out as a very simple idea, not particularly clear
Later, I met the Eastern director Zhou Yang. Mr. Zhou Yang's "Saw", I have seen, has extremely terrifying influence in North America and even the whole of Europe.
That day at Xana, I discussed the idea of "Jaws" with Mr. Zhou Yang. Unexpectedly, our opinions were very unanimous. I showed Mr. Zhou Yang some simple storyboard manuscripts of "Jaws", and
Zhou Yang gave me more storyboard manuscripts about this movie. Starting from the scene of shark fishing on the beach, to the subsequent underwater shots, and even the metaphor of the buoy before the great white shark is about to attack, Mr. Zhou Yang provided all
Manuscript, without Mr. Zhou Yang, this movie would be much sadder
In addition, there are those bloody scenes that make people's hearts beat faster and are not suitable for them. I got a lot of inspiration from "Saw" for these scenes. I personally think it is a kind of "violent aesthetics" that faces reality directly.
].
Movie fans in Europe are very enthusiastic about "Jaws".
James Bunt's influence in Europe and the Western film industry is even more terrifying.
The first zombie movie in film history, "Dark Night of the Living Dead," was made by James Bunt. What's even more exaggerated is that since James Bunt has been immersed in this movie for a few years, every movie he has released has...
Almost every movie becomes a hit, and this peak period lasts for decades, even reaching the top of world film history several times.
As another masterpiece of James Bond, the premiere was very scary. The organizers and several chairmen of the three major European film festivals came to the stage in person.
Not only is its influence on the film level terrifying, European officials have also seen the influence of James Bunter and the popularity of the movie "Big White Basin" in the international market, and have publicly and secretly supported it.
A movie full of blood and gore was even featured in the European Union's "Environmental Times" and was even treated as an environmental movie!
Just because of James Bond’s explanation of why there is such a big white shark: This movie is a deep-level environmental film. Why is there such a big shark? It’s because the ocean is polluted and the water is radiated by nuclear radiation.
, and the environment that marine animals rely on for survival is destroyed.
…
If we don't take good care of the environment, there will be more disasters and mutated animals on our planet.
It's a movie.
Even if it is a bloody horror movie, it will sell better if it has some deep-seated and thought-provoking disaster skin.
This is what James Bunt said casually.
But no one expected that the press conference of "Jaws" in Europe would not only attract countless reporters, media and movie fans, but also many environmental health workers who heard the news.
Environmental protection is a good thing, and it does call for people to love Mother Earth. However, once environmental protection is regarded as a means, a topic, and then fermented into a pathological way to obtain profits, the influence will be lost.
To put it even more exaggerated, aren’t all politicians in high positions like this?
The European premiere of "Jaws" was amazing.
It scared many adults into fainting, and some people vomited out of physical discomfort in the cinema on the spot.
But after the premiere, the media glossed it over as a profound warning. Only a movie that is profound enough can make people reflect.
James Bond was even praised to the heavens by these young European guys. Many of the judges who had participated in the three major European film festivals came out and boasted about the movie "Jaws" on Twitter.
Although Zhou Yang has participated in European film festivals many times, won the "Berlin Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution", and made films such as "Saw", his influence in the West is quite limited.
But this time.
Along with James Bunter's big boast at the premiere, a wave of grace blew Zhou Yang to the sky.
Especially when Charlotte Celie, the former president of the Berlin International Film Festival and a very influential European filmmaker, wrote an article on the Internet [The Amazing Chemistry of Hollywood Butcher Zhou Yang and the King of Hollywood Horror Films]
[Reaction] After that, [Hollywood Butcher], a name that only some movie fans in the West call Zhou Yang, instantly became a hot search term in overseas film circles.
James Bunt is good at creating a sense of psychological fear through atmosphere and urgent music. I have seen the Chinese version of "Jaws" and it is a sensory and auditory feast. Looking at past movies,
James Bunt always uses the presentation of this feeling to stimulate people's senses.
Zhou Yang is good at pictures and visual impact. In the past, "Mineral" was green, but later in "Saw" he began to mature.
When I watched "Jaws" for the first time, I felt familiar. It has the unique style of James Bunt, but also has the style of "Saw" in some scenes.
I was shocked by James Bunter's manuscript in "Jaws". I marveled at Zhou Yang's progress and felt even more lucky. I was lucky enough to serve as a judge at the Berlin International Film Festival that year and discover such a strong actor.
, a rising film talent
Charlotte Celie's review of "Jaws" was almost an earthquake in the Chinese film circle!
Very few Western filmmakers have such high-level evaluations of Eastern directors, and they even once put Zhou Yang on the same level as James Bunt.
Some people are jealous, some are scolding, some feel that the name is not worthy of the name, some are bragging, but more people are envious!
The box office is out!
Finally out? How much?
China premieres 62 million!
How many?
The premiere in China was 62 million US dollars, and the overseas premiere was 25 million US dollars!
"Jaws" was distributed by Zhou Yang's China Star, right?
yes!
In the office of China Film Association.
Feng Min looked at this data and suddenly fell into a long silence. He also looked at the public opinion overseas and in China, and looked at Zhou Yang, whose influence was becoming increasingly terrifying.
An idea came to his mind.
This guy.
You might even be praised as a god!
What do the relevant departments think of this movie? Should it be banned?
No trend of closure
