"I won't go to "Everyday Upward", let Yingbao and Nie Yuan go there."

It’s really not that I feel that I’m not qualified enough.

What if you go to "Everyday Upward", what should you do if you go to "Base Camp"?

This is a variety show that won the Oscar for the best film.

And after all, you are a director, so it’s better not to show up too much.

In recent times, Chen Lin's appearance rate has overwhelmed most artists across the country. It's a bit too much for someone who is behind the scenes!

Chen Lin decided to accept an interview from a professional film media.

"Movie World" and "Popular Movie" have all invited them, and Chen Lin finally chose "Human Movie Cannon".

The glorious era of paper media has passed!

Many knowledgeable people gathered together to form a micro-film interview, which is "The Cannon of the World of Movies".

...

The host is a **, named Xu Yuan, who was once the editor-in-chief of "Movie World" and the writer of "Popular Movie".

He is not too old and has a big tongue, but fortunately he is a pretty good person. He is a representative of a little bit of character among Chinese film critics!

"Director Shen, let's start!"

It was really an interview. Apart from a table, the remaining space in the whole room was enough to place two cameras.

Poor crew!

"OK!"

Chen Lin, Xu Yuan sat opposite him.

"Director Chen, is "The Body" a science fiction film?"

"Yes, it's a low-cost science fiction film."

"Small cost?"

"I'll do some calculations for you. The investment in this movie is $30 million. In terms of salary, except for Mr. Morgan Freeman, who received five million, the remaining actors are less than 10,000. To be honest, if I hadn't considered the overseas market, I really want to use our own actors!"

"Even so, the special effects of about 20 million are not high."

"Well, so, this movie can only be considered a B-level production. It tells a concept, that is, what will happen if the human brain is opened to 100%.

"The brain is open?"

"Actually, it's just a shush. After all, the concept of brain domain development has been around for a long time, and this project was originally from Lucbesson, so I took it over!"

"I heard that this filming took only one and a half months?"

"One and a half months were real scene shooting, and the entire special effects team was busy for more than half a year later!"

"Okay, let's talk about the science fiction type. Director Chen seems to have a special liking for science fiction movies?"

“Is there any?”

"Interstellar and "Body" are all science fiction films!"

"No, I'm still very casual in making movies. For example, after this "Physical" this time, I might make a police and gangster film, or directly shoot the second part of "Veter".

"But many people think that your appearance has sparked a craze for science fiction across the country! I know that at least five science fiction movies have been registered in photoelectricity!"

"Not so, I made an interstellar film. Although the movie Light invested more than half, it belongs to Hollywood movies after all, and has nothing to do with our country's film industry! I don't think now is a good time to shoot domestic science fiction films!"

"Actually, many people ask us, does our country have science fiction movies? Because in this world, many countries do not have science fiction movies. For example, Iran."

"Of course we need science fiction movies! We are about to catch up with North America and become the world's largest film market. In the past 10 or 20 years, among the top ten movies in the North American film market, basically two to three are science fiction movies every year. In other words, about 30% of the movies with high box office are science fiction movies.

Obviously, whether from the perspective of market demand or from the perspective of economic interests, China must make science fiction films. We especially need blockbusters like science fiction films. It is unimaginable that there are no domestic science fiction films in such a large film market!"

"Then what type of science fiction movies do you think our country needs? Or in your opinion, what is the difference between Chinese science fiction movies and foreign countries?"

"I won't talk about the old things like industrial foundation, although it is the most important! I think it's the director, and we lack a patient director. Is "Robot" and "Future Police" considered science fiction movies? It must be considered a bad movie? Whether it is the story structure or special effects lens analysis, they are all very bad movies! The emergence of these two movies has caused many viewers, including directors, to lose confidence in Chinese science fiction movies!"

"More importantly, it makes investors lose confidence! Chinese film investors pay attention to making quick money, and they consider more about cost recovery and profit. If we talk about using special effects, they first care whether this business is worth it and how helpful it will be to the box office!"

"Yes, many investors want to do science fiction movies, but they want to make money. This is really contradictory!"

"Even if I said I would shoot "Interstellar", many investors were not very confident in me, so the Light only paid 60 million, and I also invested 30 million. I rarely invested in my own movies!"

"You are now a big shot in science fiction movies. From your perspective, what do you think our country's science fiction movies should be done?"

"I think many directors or audiences have confused a concept. The core of science fiction movies is not special effects! Science fiction movies were born at the same time as horror movies, or it is a genre derived from horror movies. The earliest "Frankenstein" and "King Kong" are actually monster movies!"

"Today, the characteristics of science fiction films have become clearer and clearer. They reflect people's fear and doubts about reality and science and technology society. So, how to make good science fiction movies in China? There must be a reflective core. There must be no superficial elements such as aliens, robots, lightsabers, etc., but core ideas and reflect real society and technology. Some other films, such as romance films, action films, and thrillers, can be a purer movie, but science fiction films must be closely related to reality!"

"This time, the "Tian" first has a concept, and then spreads out along the concept, forming a complete story."

"Of course, there is also the censorship aspect, so I plan to make the subsequent "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" a co-production film, so that many harsh censorship regulations can be avoided."

“The film censorship is indeed a bit harsh!”

"What can we do? Our country is so big, and there are more and more people making movies now. If we don't set up a cordon, it will indeed lead to many people with ulterior motives!"

"So, are you going to film "Grave Robbers" yourself?"

"I should have filmed the first two movies, and I'm not interested in doing a project all the time."
