Chapter 42 Interview (Part 2)

Yang Lan must be a very thoughtful host, otherwise she would not choose to leave CCTV and go to the United States for further study when she was the most popular.

Chen Lin was stubborn about his own aesthetics, or he also insisted on his own point of view. None of the two could convince each other, and it seemed that they were about to start a quarrel.

In the end, Yang Lan gave in.

After all, she is the host.

"So according to your opinion, in our market, and even the entire sixth generation director, are all very failures in your opinion?"

"Sister Lan, I dare not say that, but from the perspective of investors, it is indeed the case!"

"But their movies have won numerous awards!"

Yang Lan is still sticking to what their generation insists on.

"Yes, I have won numerous awards! But in recent years, especially with the opening of the film market, the sixth generation of directors you mentioned seem to have become less pure? Although the master is still alive, he can no longer film "Living"!"

"That's because the requirements of marketization make them inappropriate!"

"Isn't this going to end? On the one hand, you want to maintain the artistic nature of the movie, and on the other hand, you want to point at him to make money. How can there be so many masters?"

"But Hollywood art films are still very marketable!"

Yang Lan seemed to want to prove something.

"For example, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump"?"

"Yes! That's what I mean!"

"That is a product of the North American theater system. There are some theaters in North America that specialize in screening art films, but we don't have one!"

"What do you mean is our theater system unreasonable?"

"The film system of every country is gradually moving from unreasonable to rationality. At this stage, it is the world of commercial films. If your films cannot be sold for money, you are the loser! This is an instant fact, and we cannot change it!"

There is another saying that Chen Lin didn't say it. If he said it, it would be a bit hurtful: movies are not self-interesting things, and the films are made to be appreciated! I don't deny that the current audience's aesthetics are somewhat extreme, but things that do not conform to the public's aesthetics should not be made!

"Well, then you don't have the idea of ​​shooting a pure art film?"

"Of course there is, but not now, probably after five movies!"

Chen Lin thought about it before answering.

"Five movies? Are your plans full?"

Yang Lan was a little surprised.

"Well, I will direct "Those Years" in the second half of the year. Next year, I will shoot a story that reflects entrepreneurship. I may go back to Hollywood in the second half of next year to shoot a science fiction film!"

"Science fiction?"

"That's right!"

"Is it a science fiction film with pure Chinese characteristics?"

"No, it's a movie that I collaborated with Warner. The script has been written and the group is being prepared. The producer is Nolan!"

"Really? Can you tell me a little bit? Is it a novel you have published?"

"It is definitely not an existing IP. As for other information, I really can't disclose it casually."

Yang Lan nodded in disappointment.

"Do you have a yearning for Hollywood?"

"Of course, any director must have a yearning for Hollywood!"

Just an interview program, Chen Lin revealed several information that was enough to shock the entertainment industry.

I have just completed a director's work and I actually have to direct Hollywood works!

Many netizens started discussing it online.

Many people speculate that what Chen Lin said has a few layers of credibility, and of course some people believe it without doubt.

But being able to say it directly on TV shows that Chen Lin is still sure about this matter.

Especially Chen Lin mentioned Nolan, who is the latest generation of Hollywood's god director, with countless fans in China!

The interview is still on the air.

"You don't seem to have any interest in adapting your own work?"

"Well, that's it. It took me several months to write these things. For example, "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" took several years, and now I have to adapt them into a movie. It's a waste of life. But "Those Years" are different. That's my youth, and it means a lot to me!"

"I understand that that is your first work to the literary world!"

"That's right."

"When it comes to literature, in fact, looking at your works over the years, it seems that they are slowly starting to reduce production?"

"It's not about reducing production. I really don't have much time and don't have time to calm down and write. I have been busy working as a screenwriter in recent years. I wrote three scripts some time ago, which is a series, and I have handed over to Mr. Bao."

"Master Bao? You mean Zhao Baogang!"

"Um."

"Not only are there fewer works, but you seem to intentionally start moving towards pure literature. "I Want to Talk to the World in 1988" is very obvious."

A book appeared in Yang Lan's hand, which was the "1988"

"It's not intentional, but I unconsciously wrote a book. After writing it, I thought it was pretty good, so I gave it to the publishing house for them to publish it!"

"To be honest, if the author's name printed by Chen Lin is not Chen Lin, it would probably not be sold much!"

"Haha, that's true, because modern people's way of thinking becomes faster, and they are less willing to accept in-depth works."

"There is another problem. I found that in recent years you seem to have rarely or almost never commented on a certain film work. Is it because you entered this industry, out of the taboo among your peers or..."

"You can't say that, because I don't tell lies, so I won't say it."

"That's out of taboo!"

"Let me say that, when you enter the industry, there will always be a few friends or distribution companies that are your partners. When you see a bad movie and want to scold it, then you post a comment. The netizens feel happy and feel that they cater to their ideas. But it is very likely that your friend is the main creator of the movie, or the distribution company of this movie is your distribution company, which is very difficult to deal with!"

"Haha, that's true!"

"So I won't talk."

"If it were put to this point, would you still criticize "Three Guns"?"

"Well, probably not, but I might tell my friends privately."

“Just stop commenting publicly?”

"Well, it's hard for film critics to keep their objectivity!"

"But Wang Sicong often criticizes Wanda's movies."

"Is that true? Wang Sicong is not a real film practitioner after all. If he participates in film production, it will probably be difficult for him to do that!"

"There is another question. Is the cycle of your movie too short? I heard that it has not been a month since the filming started to finish!"

Chen Lin was about to get up and leave the studio, but Yang Lan suddenly said something.

"Let me say that, the industrial process of the movie is too lazy to steal. Our film was filmed smoothly, and there were very few actors' NG situations, but the preliminary preparation took a long time. I started polishing the script since June last year. The actors' schedule was signed for one month, and our post-production and shooting started at the same time."

“You are emphasizing industrial processes.”

"Yes, I like industrial processes very much. If the filming of a movie is not followed by the process, the images presented must be problematic! Many actors now sign a movie for a month, and the actors are gone. What are we shooting? And I can guarantee that our absolute working hours exceed most domestic movies."
