Chapter 76 Talking About Dreams
From the initial College Student Image Festival to today's FIRsT Youth Film Festival, it was closed for a year because of a certain movie in O8, and it was very difficult to go all the way.
Just like Xining, the FIRsT Film Festival is a pure land, with countless young filmmakers flocking here with works that have not been polished by the market.
Most of the audiences here are acceptable to the art films, otherwise they would not have endured two hours of nagging.
Even so, there are still people who leave the stage halfway. It is conceivable that the theater road of "Happy Mourning" will be very miserable!
"Come on, we welcome Director Chen to talk to us with applause!"
Chen Lin was originally going to make a soy sauce, but he never thought the host would look at him.
After all, this is the screening venue for "Happiness and Mourning", and to be honest, Shen Lindeng is quite low-key. Besides, there is no TV broadcast here.
"Okay, then I'll say a few words."
Chen Lin also walked to the center of the stage and started his speech: "Actually, the organizer contacted me two years ago and asked me to encourage these young directors more... I don't know when I actually became a qualified old director."
"So this year I first turned down the filming of "La La Land" and came to Xining."
"Let me talk about the first impression first. It is really hard to see a clean city like Xining in the country suitable for youth film festivals! The temperament of Xining is particularly suitable for a film festival. When we look at Venice and Cannes, they are actually held in an inconspicuous small city in the area. First, the city needs to have a large population, and then the city needs its own unique charm and temperament. Xining is on the Qinghai-Tibet Line, the throat of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is a tourist city. I think it is very in line with the city in my ideal."
“I have a good impression of Xining Youth Film Festival.”
Chen Lin roughly answered Meng Fei's question, and the latter continued: "From your perspective, do you think these debut works are worth learning from and learning?"
"I think if you want to make a movie, you have to be able to tell stories first, otherwise a work will easily be messed up."
This is true. Many of the originally good movies fell on the hands of these big art film directors and became banned films!
"After telling a complete story, let's consider whether to play tricks, such as changing the narrative structure, or like "Memory Fragments"."
As for reference, learning, etc., Chen Lin did not mention it at all.
"So do you have anything to say to these filmmakers?"
Meng Fei looked at Chen Lin and then asked, "Or do you have any experience you want to hand it over to these young directors."
Chen Lin looked at Zhang Tao and then watched the audience: "Movies are an art, we need to respect it. In fact, I wanted to be an artist at the beginning, but I didn't think that my own movies could sell well; but in this market environment, if we don't shoot commercial films, Hollywood will occupy our market, so I will have a bigger love for commercial films."
"I have watched a lot of movies recently when I was a judge. It was so bad that I couldn't even count as a basic structure. The narrative was complete and the credibility was created. This is the standard, but looking at the world, there is almost no one who does not pay attention to scripts like China!"
