Chapter 132 Daily life
"I always think that if you call a master, you are scolding this person. Think about it, a master of Chinese painting and qigong master came... I feel like they are all liars. No need to label me! As soon as my movie comes out, everyone thinks: Feng Xiaogang's? This one can be watched. I think this is more affordable!"
This sentence was said by director Feng Xiaogang when he was promoting "The Great Tangshan Earthquake".
I guess he has almost forgotten it. He has been stuttering in recent years, just wanting to go to the master's path!
Chen Lin's statement is not a problem, and Feng Xiaogang is always a little worse than a real movie master.
Whether it is the "1942" directed by him with great effort or the "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" that played the arc shot this time.
In 1942, he wanted to express the suffering, ethics, principles, torture between the physical and mental, death and other issues of people relying on the background of war. Its value is not worth mentioning in the face of "Apocalypse of War".
As for "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", to be honest, it is similar to "Qiu Ju's lawsuit" filmed by National Shi Er in 1992, but the gap between the two is really big.
Twenty-four years have passed!
Feng Xiaogang's current level is still not as good as Zhang Yimou when he was the first!
This is also the reason why "Qiu Ju's lawsuit" won the Golden Lion Award, while "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" failed to even enter the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival!
In fact, you can tell by the netizens’ names of these two people. Zhang Yimou - the national teacher; Feng Xiaogang - protect Shu Bao!
Speaking of box office, what is the global box office of "Hero"? 1.4 billion yuan!
2oo2, 2oo sold 1.4 billion yuan in global box office in 3 years, making it the only movie to win the North American Week Championship, and it was a two-week championship, while the box office of Japan and South Korea topped the box office.
Ang Lee’s Oscar’s work “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” does not have such a high box office!
Forget it, compared these two people, I always feel a little sorry for the national teacher!
...
Beijing, courtyard house.
Chen Lin felt a little distressed when he looked at the media's various comments about Feng Xiaogang.
This time, the public's collective talk about Feng Xiaogang should be Chen Linkai's head.
If it weren't for his pretending and saying, "Feng Xiaogang is infinitely close to the master", this wouldn't have happened!
"What did you think at that time?"
Zhao Liying sat cross-legged on the sand, looked at Shen Lin, and asked casually.
"I'm just telling the truth, and there's no hype at all."
"What should I do now?"
"I don't know either!"
Chen Lin immediately answered, and the two of them asked questions and answered each other. If someone else came in, he wouldn't know what the two were saying.
"Or you have a statement..."
After making a suggestion, Zhao Liying immediately stopped talking.
It is not advisable. Not to mention that Chen Lin's statement at this time is like adding fuel to the fire, and Chen Lin is definitely not happy.
"What statement do I have? I said nothing wrong. Do you think a director like Feng Xiaogang can be considered a master?"
The word master is considered the abbreviation of a major in a certain industry in China.
Just talking about a domestic director, in addition to Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, Chen Lin also needs to be added.
But if you really want to be a master, it is recognized that only Zhang Yimou, Chen Kai, and Chen Lin do not belong to these two people in terms of winning awards and box office, but their qualifications are far from enough, so they cannot be called masters.
Feng Xiaogang created Feng's comedy, which is indeed the leader in commercial films, but this is all the only thing that can be said. Once you enter other themes, you will be more than a little bit worse.
Although the artist's background brought Feng Xiaogang a different craftsmanship than the academy, it also limited his upper limit. His aesthetic and experience determined that his highest achievement in his life might be the turn of the century trilogy "See You", "Party A and Party B", "Endless"
Once he intervenes in the Hollywood mode, he becomes impossible to direct!
"But he is Feng Xiaogang. No matter what, he is also my mentor, and you are your guide!"
Zhao Liying looked at Chen Lin, who was still playing with her mobile phone.
"You're talking!"
"What can I say?"
Chen Lin put down his phone helplessly and looked at his wife: "Zhaolang has put the interview on the Weibo page. If I jump out and say something, 'I think Feng Xiaogang is a contemporary master', don't you think it's too flattering?"
"That's better than doing nothing!"
Liying muttered, then changed the topic: "How did you think of taking on "Wolf Warrior 2"?"
"...You don't know what kind of personality I have? Wu Jing is almost crying, did I refuse?"
Chen Lin turned his eyes to Zhao Liying, who was so happy that his gums were exposed.
After a long time, Liying stopped laughing: "...By the way, how was Lu Han? He didn't cause trouble for you later?"
"Water? He's causing trouble for me?"
Chen Lin looked at Zhao Liying, his face full of "Are you kidding?"
"It's already great if I don't ask him for anything. What else does he dare to do?"
"I heard that his agent is so amazing. If he can make him the best young actor in China, there must be some means!"
"Then what?"
"...I'm not worried about his brainless fan!"
"No matter how good you have the means, a small workshop cannot beat a big media company!"
Chen Lin really doesn't care about Lu Han's team's counterattack. "Also, their team has had a feud with Huayi because of the previous "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and now they have a conflict with us because of "Wolf Warrior 2". I really doubt the IQ of his agent you mentioned!"
"...I haven't congratulated you yet. The box office of "The Golden Captain" has surpassed "The Mermaid" and has become the domestic box office champion!"
The couple was just chatting, and they could say whatever they thought.
"The Golden Captain" was released for 18 days, with a cumulative box office of 3.6 billion, successfully surpassing the box office of "Mermaid" of 3.34 billion to the second highest in film history.
"Things to be expected!"
Chen Lin looked stinky, as if he felt that before the release, he was not the one who had the largest box office in "The Golden Captain" in China at the most 3 billion yuan.
"How much do you think the final box office of "The Golden Captain" will be?"
"This depends on whether the Great Wall is good, but I guess it will be able to achieve a box office of more than 4 billion yuan."
Chen Lin thought about it and gave a number roughly.
Chen Lin knows better than anyone else whether "The Great Wall" is worth it. "The Great Wall" is likely to create an astonishing box office data.
"The Great Wall? Are you talking about Zhang Yimou's movie?"
Zhao Liying soon realized what Chen Lin mentioned "The Great Wall". After all, the promotional strength of this movie and the cast are indeed the largest existence in Chinese-language movies.
Matt Dai Cute, Liu Dehua, Lin Gengxin, Huang Xuan, and a bunch of young and handsome guys, by the way, there is also Sedan!
"Well, the domestic monster movie that cost 1 billion yuan, you can go to the screening with me tomorrow!"
Chen Lin and Zhang Yimou have always maintained good contact, and it is normal to invite him to attend the screening of "The Great Wall".
In fact, when "Return" was released, Zhang Yimou also invited Chen Lin to participate in the movie screening, but Chen Lin was busy filming at that time and really had no time.
