Chapter 246 Rising to Fame (14)

Shen Xudong's sadness in spring and autumn is purely due to his unsatisfied desires!

Blind and boring...

If you really want to give him a sister, he can play well!

Leave him alone...

It'll be fine in the evening!

Talking back to "Outstanding Citizen", after this movie was released in Venice, there was no need to build up momentum. The manuscripts sent back by reporters completely ignited the enthusiasm of domestic audiences...

"The World" has nothing to report...

In addition to a report that "The World's main creators Huang Lei and Geng Le went to Venice to cheer for their friends"...

Because the star of "The World", Cheng Taishen, is affiliated with Starlight Culture, the agency bought the draft.

Regarding "The World" itself, there are also relevant reports, probably "Foreign reporters shouted that they could not understand Jia Zhangke's "comedy" and were embarrassed", "Watching "The World" in three moods in Venice has to go through ups and downs to win the Golden Lion"

It’s clear that I don’t like it!

Moreover, the media has recently been following and reporting on the relationship between Li Anpeng and Wang Fei, so there is no time to pay attention to Jia Zhangke.

Most importantly, except for a handful of movie fans, who knows who Jia Zhangke is?

"Xiao Wu", "Ren Xiaoyao", and "Platform" are all movies that I only knew after watching "Literary Times"...

What is the national box office of "The World"?

Less than 800,000!

"Outstanding Citizen" is completely different, starring Chen Daoming and screenwriter Shen Xudong...

These two are both celebrities!

Also, the episode of "Interviews with Yang Lan" about Shen Xudong was broadcast, which included some small conversations about overseas film festivals and the sixth generation, all of which were released without missing a word...

It sparked a lot of discussion…

In fact, the discussion about the sixth generation should start with a movie-"Anyang Baby"!

There is nothing wrong with "Anyang Baby" itself. It is an unemployed middle-aged man, a low-class prostitute, and a low-level gangster. Because a child connects them. The prostitute had a child and couldn't raise it, so she cruelly left her in the downtown area, with a note inside: If a kind-hearted person takes her in, she is willing to provide 200 monthly living expenses; an unemployed middle-aged man, with a poor family, is still unmarried, and wanders the streets all day long. But he accidentally picked up a baby; there was also a middle-aged gangster who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, so he wanted to get back the child that might be his in the hands of a prostitute.

Why is it banned?

have no idea…

Why spark discussion?

This is mainly due to Wang Chao, the director of "Anyang Baby", who is too pretentious and boasts all kinds of things: In the past year, abroad, what I heard was no longer Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, but "Seventeen Years Old Cycling" ", it's "Anyang Baby", it's "Suzhou River"...

Then many people found "Anyang Baby" and watched it!

I immediately came to the conclusion ‘This guy is showing off! ’

In fact, those who engage in art are more or less prone to showing off. If you don’t show off, you can’t make art!

Well, it can also be established if the word "pretend" is deleted...

Come on, you're pretending to be cool, and you're pretending not to be like that!

Then it will be approved...

As a result, the good guys started posting all sorts of things on the Internet...

By the way, "Blind Well" and "Xiao Wu" also criticized...

Of course, at that time it was mainly concentrated in a small circle: Rear Window, a film forum in Xici Hutong.

And because back then, most of the people who were cheating on the back window were people in the industry, so even if they were scolded, it wasn't very intense...

This time is different!

Shen Xudong sprayed it directly on TV...

It immediately aroused the resonance of many people. This time, netizens mainly complained on the Tianya Forum:

"I really hate the so-called pseudo-documentary movies of the sixth generation. I find them particularly abominable. What they show is real life, a product reflected in the mind and thoughts of the director. It comes from life, but is different from real life and is a reflection of reality. .

A director expresses his thoughts and opinions through the lens, just like a writer writes a book.

The minimum requirement for a documentary is to be truthful, as real as possible! When comparing the requirements of documentaries to films that contain fictional elements and show relatively concentrated representations of people and events, the conclusion can be imagined..."

"These directors are just selling it! They claim to be making movies for the people at the bottom. Damn it! You made a movie about the bottom class for foreigners to watch. Which bottom class in China has seen your movie? Which bottom class in China has watched it? Do you understand what you are talking about about the movie? When you come back to China, the people who praise it are the people in your circle! Who among the ordinary viewers likes it?"

"There are only two categories of movies: bad movies and good works. Most of the sixth-generation movies are bad movies, I'm telling you!"

"I really want to know the status of "Outstanding Citizen"..."

"It will be released on the 17th, let's go see it together and test it out!"

"Go together, go together..."

In this way, because of "Interviews with Yang Lan" and "Outstanding Citizen", they seemed to be popular before they were released...

Naturally, the reading volume of manuscripts coming from Venice also increased significantly.

Of course, the media is still relatively reliable. The headlines are basically like ""Outstanding Citizen" shines in the water city, and film critics praise it..." and so on. There is no conclusive statement like "a golden lion will be won" or "the sword points to the golden lion". of…

However, Director Chen's performance has been praised in various ways, and the domestic media has variously hinted at being crowned Best Actor...

…

"This character is very dramatic. I also asked the screenwriter, including the director, what the actor Danny's last smile meant..."

"what does it mean?"

Director Chen was interviewed by "Southern City"...

"My idea is that Danny has consumed his hometown again, and everything is fictional... The director also wants to fight, but the screenwriter has not made it clear... He thinks it depends on the audience's understanding!"

"I watched the movie, and I felt... the whole drama felt a bit heavy on drama, and the plot mainly relied on dialogue..."

Director Chen looked at the interviewer with surprise and nodded approvingly: "This was originally a drama script. I heard Xudong say that his teacher assigned him a task and asked him to write a drama... Later he felt that I It is very suitable for the role in the play, and it was changed into a movie script..."

"So the screenwriter found you for this play? Did you find the director?"

Director Chen nodded: "Yes, I fell in love with the script, and I took the initiative to find investors and directors..."

"So, the important thing is the screenwriter?"

"...Didn't you watch the movie? Can you feel it?"

"...The screenwriter is Shen Xudong, right?"

"...Yes, what's wrong?"

"We have always wanted to schedule an interview with him, but he seems not to be here..."

Director Chen smiled: "He seems to have met a few people... and they are chatting!"

Well, Shen Xudong did know a few people, Chen Kexin and Johnnie To...

Both of them came to Venice to sell movies. Chen Kexin brought "Three Updates 2", and Johnnie To had "Judo Dragon and Tiger List"...

Both of these films are screening units, mainly to attract film producers.

After all, the Hong Kong market cannot guarantee return of investment, and now Hong Kong films have lost the Southeast Asian market...

They took the initiative to find Shen Xudong, and all they talked about was "Screening Room"...

"Screening Room", although it is just a film review talk show, has really promoted the history of Hong Kong films.

When Chen Kexin saw Shen Xudong, she praised "Screening Room": "A lot of the things you said, I actually don't know!"

"Huh? What about, for example?"

"For example, what happened with Jackie Chan's family... and Jackie Chan made a romantic movie..."
