In April, Sijiu City was already a little hot. The bookstores that were usually deserted were crowded with people for some reason, and most of them were young people around the age of twenty.

Could it be that Mr. Han or Guo Xiaosi have published a new book?

The owner of the bookstore is a man in his early forties. He loves and hates these young writers, and hates them so much that they write too shallowly, and some people even follow them. Many people love them, and they have excellent sales, so he can make a little profit.

"Boss, is there any latest issue of "Time"?"

"Yes, there are many over there. I got another batch some time ago!"

When there is business, the boss is of course happy.

The visitor ran excitedly in the direction indicated by the boss, and then shouted in anger: "Boss, I mean "Time", not "Tiny Times"! You are so insulting me!"

"Oh, look at my ears, Time magazine, over there, go over there and see what I got yesterday!"

It is indeed the latest issue of Time magazine.

The cover is a close-up of Chen Lin's face. Chen Lin stared at the photographer who was taking the photo with a smile on his face. This is everything!

By the way, there is another note - Chen Lin gives Chinese audiences a new possibility, gives movie fans a broader space, and brings new styles, logic, and even ways of thinking to Chinese commercial films!

That’s right, this is the magazine Chen Lin accepted an exclusive interview with Time last week.

As for how these young people know, it must be because Chen Lin promoted it on Weibo!

"Dears, guys have appeared on the cover of "Time". It's so cool, hurry up and check it out!"

Attached a photo of the sample.

...

At the beginning of 2011, Chen Lin was just a well-known writer. He wanted to make a movie, so he started looking for investment. The reality was not very optimistic. Few people were willing to invest in a novice who had no shooting experience!

At the beginning of 2012, with the national release of "The Girl We Chased Together", Chen Lin only used two movies to create a box office of 1.6 billion!

"The Girl We Chased Together" broke many box office records in the Chinese film industry in one week after its release, including the largest release, the highest weekend box office, the fastest box office of 100 million yuan, etc., and eventually became the highest box office of the year and the second largest box office in the Chinese film industry in history, second only to the invincible "Avatar".

Chen Lin's movies not only swept mainland cinemas, but also affected the entire Asia. "Those Years" successively set new box office highs in Chinese films across Southeast Asia!

From his debut female work "33 Days of Love Break", the audience praised Chen Lin without hesitation.

Although there are also criticisms, many film workers think that Chen Lin’s movie is too simple.

But it is undeniable that the audience just like Chen Lin’s directorial style!

This situation even affected Chen Lin's third work, "The Veteran in Chinatown". It is reported that the pre-sale box office of the movie will be released in a month, and its pre-sale box office has exceeded 100 million yuan!

Few directors can have so many viewers who recognize him and are enthusiastic about him.

In the hearts of many movie fans, Chen Lin is the guarantee of the quality of the movie. "Chen Lin's production must be a fine product" is never a joke.

This year's Shen Lin brought unprecedented confidence to Chinese audiences!

It is reported that Director Chen Lin’s work plan this year has exceeded that of last year. He will shoot three movies, and he is a completely prolific director!

"Time" used the most intuitive question-and-answer method to publish an exclusive interview.

Times: Director Chen Lin, you are a well-known best-selling writer. What prompted you to choose a film production major?

Chen Lin: In order not to be abandoned by this era! As we all know, China's film market is constantly expanding, and choosing to be a director at this time is definitely a very correct choice!

Times: Some people have always said that your movies are too naive and lack literary quality, and there are few things worth pondering. What do you think of this?

Chen Lin: Childish? Well, in fact, there is no mainstream commercial film that is not childish! If you choose to read, of course you can enjoy it slowly, but watching movies in the theater pays attention to a fast food enjoyment. There are only two hours of footage in total, and you must let the audience enter the movie! I was also a literary youth, and of course I also want to make art films that have been famous for all generations. Later I found that if I cannot satisfy the audience and have no recognition from the audience, my movies have no value.

Times: So how do you think movies can find a balance between business and art?

Chen Lin: How to find a balance between business and art? I think this question is a bit funny. Why must there be a balance? Commercial films are commercial films, which is not a shame. I think some directors in our country are both cast and archways. They are obviously filming a commercial film, but they have to take it in the art. Of course, there are also some directors with profound skills and they have both! But such films often have no box office high!

Times: Can you evaluate the directors in the Chinese film industry today?

Chen Lin: This is to offend me! Let me just say one simple. Director Chen Kexing. His movies are quite commercial and not lacking in literary quality. This is really difficult to do!

Times: Two movies are available in a year, and the plan is three movies this year. Why do you work so hard?

Chen Lin: These years have been the ten years of rapid expansion of the Chinese film market, and I must seize the opportunity!

Times: Can you talk about your creative style?

Chen Lin: Style? I actually don’t have any specific style. I’m afraid that I will be stereotyped into a certain type of director, so I want to try to make different movies. My favorite director is Kubridge, who can master most of the movie styles!

Times: Now you have become one of the best directors in the Chinese-speaking area. Does this make some difference to your creation and life?

Chen Lin: I am a moviemaker and a writer. I think the most important thing in making movies is sincerity. If one day I find that I am no longer sincere, I will quit the film industry immediately!

Times: Will it be convenient to disclose the work plan for the next part?

Chen Lin: There is nothing inconvenient. After this "Veter" is over, I will immediately enter the preparation stage of the new film. The new film is a story of recalling youth from a female perspective. I need to be more delicate!

During the interview, Chen Lin's attitude was very elegant, but he could feel a strong sense of self-confidence from him!

Chen Lin seems to reassure the fans who support him, and his works are always worth looking forward to.

The exclusive interview published by Time once again pushed Shen Lin into the storm!

After all, no director has been interviewed by Time before, not to mention that Time has given the title "Next Stop, Master!"

For a time, many media contacted Chen Lin, and even many paparazzi hid at Chen Lin's doorstep.
Chapter completed!
