Chapter 76 The culture of chivalry

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something else!"

Yang Lan really wants to say, don’t, keep squirting!

However, Chen Lin obviously did not have the intention to continue talking, so he had to continue asking: "Why do you support this "Embroidered Spring Sword" so much? I remember you have also been the producer of other movies before, such as "Strange Her" and "Watching the National."

"First, "Embroidered Spring Sword" is a good movie, and it is worth my promotion. Secondly, in the past two years, martial arts movies have really declined! If I don't come out to help Yohe, relying on my reputation alone, it will be really difficult to make this movie stand out!"

"Are you so unconfident?"

"Haha, let me say that. Before I came to promote it, do you know what the 'Embroidered Chun Dao' is?"

Yang Lan had obviously done his homework and flipped through the note on his hand: "…The Embroidered Chun Dao is a conceptual and standard weapon worn by the Imperial Guard."

"You see, even you have to do your homework in advance, which shows how unpopular the title of this drama is. At that time, Liying joked that if the drama was changed to "The King of Uniform Guards and the Fireworks Woman", it would probably be very high!"

Chen Lin smiled mockingly and continued, "But the name "Embroidered Spring Sword" is both a plot and a world of universe. I also like this name very much. Director Lu Yang also likes it, including several starring actors. There is no way, so just call this name!"

Yang Lan was about to speak, and Chen Lin waved his hand secretly, "There is another point, the actor chosen for this drama, Zhang Zhen, we know that Zhang Zhen is a good actor, but how is his box office appeal? Wang Qianyuan, Li Dongxue, Nie Yuan, and Jin Shijie, all of them are powerful, but they are not well-known to ordinary audiences! Even Li Yitong is still what I put in for the box office considerations. I guess I will be criticized by others at that time! Where is the publicity point? I can't focus on promoting actors!"

"So you personally go out and help promote?"

"Yes, no reason is not allowed to be seen by everyone. We domestic audiences are really pitiful, especially those who like martial arts movies. Look at what are the things that are screened in theaters? They are all so embarrassed to brag about the awesome special effects! No matter how awesome your special effects are, you can compare with my "Interstellar"? If you shoot martial arts, you should study the story well. The special effects can only be an auxiliary!"

"Bad money drives out good money. If this continues, no one will watch domestic martial arts movies!"

Chen Lin picked up the water cup placed on the table and took a sip, "I'm sorry, Sister Yang Lan, I'm a little excited."

"It's okay, we can understand. Look at the editor of our crew. He is also a martial arts fan. He is almost crying when you say it!"

Chen Lin followed Yang Lan's gaze and found that there was indeed a young man in his twenties.

"Sister Yang Lan, why don't we let him say a few words and complain about the current domestic martial arts movies from the audience's perspective!"

"Okay!" Yang Lan was also a person who was not afraid of trouble, "Xiao Fang, come."

The young man didn't expect that he would have the chance to show his face. His cheeks were slightly red and he was pushed to the table by the seniors of the crew. Soon the rest of the crew brought a stool.

"Xiao Fang, tell me your opinion on today's martial arts movies."

"It's okay, say it boldly. If you have any swear words, just say it. Then let the later stage bets!"

Chen Lin was a little nervous when he saw this guy and smiled and encouraged.

"Then... I'll just say a few words."

"I am born in 1989. My favorite movies of this age are always "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and "New Longmen Inn" directed by Xu Ke. My favorite novels have always been the martial arts of Mr. Jin Yong and Mr. Gu Long. I have been watching movies in the theater for the first time since I was 10 years. At that time, I watched "Sword Rain". I think it's okay..."

“Sword Rain is really good!”

Chen Lin interrupted, "If you study the plot a little bit, you can be called a master of your generation!"

Comrade Xiao Fang looked at Chen Lin and waited for him to finish saying: "I have watched "Su Qier" for 11 years..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Lin couldn't help laughing and looked at Yang Lan and Xiao Fang with embarrassment: "...you keep going."

"In 2011, there was "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", in 2012, there were "Four Famous Captains", in 2013, "Four Famous Captains 2". I went to watch "White Witch" a few days ago, and I was almost desperate!"

It basically explains the voice of every martial arts movie fan.

Chen Lin was a little silent, and Yang Lan didn't speak.

After a while, Chen Lin looked at Xiao Fang: "I promise you that "Embroidered Spring Sword" will never disappoint you. I promise you with my aesthetic as the director!"

...

Comrade Xiao Fang went down and the interview continued.

Yang Lan smiled, estimated the time, and decided to change the topic: "We all know that you are a director who changed careers halfway, so do you have any suggestions for other people who dream of being directors like you?"

Chen Lin looked at Yang Lan deeply, and then took the initiative to pick up the topic: "You want to ask, why am I targeting Guo Xiaosi so much?"

"First, let me say something. I respect and understand everyone who dreams of directors. Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams! Guo Xiaosi is the same. He is willing to be a director. Of course I support it. After all, novelists are born with a sense of picture."

"Secondly, I want to say that anyone can be a director, but this does not mean that anyone can make a good movie! If you treat movies as a tool to make money, then please go away! The Chinese film industry is already full of people of this type and you don't need your franchise!"

"In the end, why do I hate Guo Xiaosi so much? Because I have met him several times. I know very well that a person like him will never direct a movie with the mentality of making a good movie. His biggest idea should be to make money!"

"But you said before that if a director shoots something that no one sees, then he will not have a ticket to the market! Do you still stick to this point of view now?"

"I stick to the view of qualification photoelectricity, and I always believe that what China lacks at this stage is high-reputation commercial films!"

Chen Lin thought about it and then replied: "Our country's movies have only two types of advantages over other countries. The first is comedy movies, and no one knows our funny points better than us; the second is martial arts movies. I think the chivalrous culture should be regarded as the most local part of Chinese movies. If we can use these two advantages well, Hollywood special effects blockbusters may not be able to fight!"

"You seem to care a lot about Hollywood movies entering China!"

"Of course, I spent a year in Hollywood, and their film industry was too strong. I dare say that as long as the country relaxed policy restrictions, our domestic films could be declared dead in three years!"

"Yang Lan Interview Record" is about 30 minutes each episode, and Chen Lin's recording is broadcast in total.

The outline is very clear, one talks about Chinese movies, one talks about "The Embroidered Spring Sword", and one talks about life.
Chapter completed!
