independent filmmaker

Shooting continued the day after it was turned on.

Xie Lansheng's personal brand in the film is very obvious.Like "Rooting", "Consummation" and so on, the content of the first half of the whole movie is gentle and tender.In the first half of "Growing Roots", Wang Fusheng's family of six is ​​eagerly looking forward to the birth of their son, the husband and wife love each other, and the family is harmonious, while in the first half of "Consummation", two men, Cai Kuan and Lang Ying, met each other and fell in love, romantic and sweet , Shanmeng vowed to each other.Xie Lansheng’s style is that the plot takes a sharp turn in the second half. In "Growing Roots", all illusions were shattered after Caifeng gave birth to her third daughter. In "Consummation", Cai Kuan's parents discovered the truth, the one of Cai Kuan, Lang Ying, Li Fangfang, and Li Fangfang Son, the four were pushed into the abyss.

The first half of the story of "Love at First Sight" is as warm and beautiful as ever. The heroine fell in love with the hero at first sight in a coffee shop.

One day, the hostess needed some help, and the host rushed to her home.Lu Yi stopped at the door of the first floor, wearing a windbreaker and smoking a cigarette, while Liu Mu was a little stunned, and walked up step by step. Then, the heroine stared at the hero's normal eyebrows and eyes, took a puff of light cigarette, and went straight up. Straight to each other's lips. 100% bewitching, seducing.In this mirror, Sun Qianqian's lips are red, and as a top model, her eyes are seductive and her figure is enchanting. Everyone present was amazed.

Then, when the male protagonist was about to leave, he suddenly heard an "ah".He hurried over to have a look, and found that the vase on the window sill of the study was rolling on the ground, the water was dripping everywhere, and the flowers were scattered, and the heroine had a graceful figure, her red skirt was wet, and she was looking at the door helplessly. , as if waiting for someone to pull her up.The hero went to pull her arm, but the heroine wrapped his waist, and the two of them fell back into the water again, with roses scattered beside them.The female lead stared at him again, while the male lead lost his head and kissed him.

The two of them are together, and the heroine's "seduction" is successful.

After this shot, Xie Lansheng was quite satisfied and asked everyone to call it a day and go back to the hotel.

…………

After returning to the hotel room, Xie Lansheng turned on his mobile phone.When he was filming, he was engrossed. As long as the sky was not falling, no one could easily disturb him. He had to wait until work was over.

Accompanied by the notification sound of ding ding dong dong, a lot of text messages jumped out.

Xie Lansheng first clicked on the message sent by the production director, and found that there were only a dozen words:

【Director Xie, the reporter who interviewed you yesterday is really a bitch! ! ! "XX Entertainment" has published news, and it has made us a good enemy! ! ! 】

Xie Lansheng: "???"

Yesterday was his first day of filming. As a director, Xie Lansheng also accepted interviews from several media during filming intervals—he is a director, but he is not withdrawn. He is willing to accept interviews to promote the film.Some of the reporters said they would review the manuscripts for him, some didn't say so, and Xie Lansheng didn't care much.He doesn't think that reporters must review manuscripts for "stars" when interviewing. He wants to have creative freedom and give others creative freedom. He only records interviews to prevent people from deliberately writing nonsense.

After listening to the producer director, Xie Lansheng turned on the computer and connected to the hotel network. In 2004, "broadband" appeared, dial-up Internet access was eliminated, ADSL and other technologies emerged and became popular in cities.

Xie Lansheng gently opened the homepage of xx Entertainment, and with just one glance, he saw the manuscript published by xx Entertainment at noon today.Xie Lansheng's first public screening vows to compete with Li Xian! 】

"..."

Xie Lansheng almost didn't bring it up.

He read on.

The first paragraph of the bullshit article is:

[Yesterday, director Xie Lansheng's "Love at First Sight" was officially launched, and the day before yesterday, gold medal director Li Xian's "Grape and Wine Luminous Cup" announced the start of filming.During the interview, Xie Lansheng replied to the reporter about the "release time": "Strive for May Day." And less than 24 hours ago, director Li Xian expressed in a high-profile way "I hope May Day can be released." In this way, The meaning of Xie Lansheng's fight is very obvious. 】

Xie Lansheng: "..."

No, he really didn't know that Li Xian's movie was also on.Because Zhou Jing cheated money and sex, he was in a state of desperation, how could he have time to pay attention to Zhang Xian, Wang Xian, Li Xian, and Zhao Xian.

Moreover, he just said "fight for May Day"!Who can tell the truth about the release of a movie?Shooting depends on the eyes of God, post-production depends on the level of production, and passing the review is a step that the director cannot control at all.

It says "fighting" is too nonsense! ! !

Xie Lansheng continued to read.

The second paragraph of the bullshit article is:

[Two years ago, after the release of Li Xian's court movie "The New Hairpin in a Treasure Bun", it triggered a movie-watching craze for the whole people. The record is unmatched.At that time, a reporter posted on the "World Movies" forum that Xie Lansheng publicly expressed his disdain on many occasions, thinking that "its box office performance has played a big role in the official, and it was regarded as a myth and pushed by the official. Go to the altar." It seems that Xie Lansheng's dissatisfaction has not faded after two years, and he wants to prove that he is the best director in mainland China - the best director with awards and box office. 】

The third paragraph is:

【Xie Lansheng's self-confidence may have originated eight years ago.At the 46th Berlin International Film Festival, Xie Lansheng's movie "Consummation" finally won the Golden Bear Award, while Li Xian's movie "The Restaurant Girl" ended up with nothing. So, is Xie Lansheng really better and more popular? Approved?Or……】

"..." Xie Lansheng patted his chest.

Indeed, there are currently only three people in China who have won the "Big Three in Europe".One of them is very old and can be regarded as retired, and the other two are himself and Li Xian.He himself has won two, both of which are Golden Bears, and Li Xian has also won two, one is the Palme d'Or and the other is the Golden Lion.The media's "fighting" is undoubtedly very eye-catching.What's more, Li Xian is a good director of the official "Genzhengmiaohong", but he himself has just lifted the ban, full of rebellion, and full of gangster spirit. Whether these banned independent directors are successful or not, whether they can make it to the stage, "being banned from filming" is a pity, and it is still a fig leaf. Does it mean that the official recommendation is good, but they are not good.Now, Li Xian's transition to "mainstream film" has proven to be successful, and his own commercial films are still waiting to be scrutinized.

Hey……

Xie Lansheng thought of the "big-name director" who spread the word again.

Back then, he thought he had a good relationship with that director!That director was the first to say a lot of "bad things" about Li Xian, and he, because he had some feelings about Li Xian—including his own and Liu Yao's, echoed a few words, saying, " The official played a big role" and "was promoted to the altar by the official", but who knows that people turned around and repeated it with Li Xian and the others, and even fanned the flames to add fuel and jealousy, without mentioning himself at all!In a few days, the reporter was asked to post this passage on the forum!Xie Lansheng and Li Xian immediately became rivals on the surface.Afterwards, because they made their position clear, the big-name director and Li Xian looked as good as wearing a pair of trousers, and took a load of good resources.

Xie Lansheng really didn't expect that passage to be turned up again, and it was taken as evidence that he was going to "show off" with Li Xian.

Xie Lansheng has self-knowledge, he does not have the strength to "show it off".

No matter how "commercial" his films are, they are also literary and artistic, just a little less literary and artistic than before, and it can't be said that they are much more commercial.He doesn't know how to make so-called "blockbuster movies", but the current movie market is basically dominated by blockbuster movies.At the very beginning, he just wanted to do his best to see its audience pay attention to literary theaters. The two gimmicks of "the first film after lifting the ban" + "commercial film" had the greatest effect. As for the box office, it was not his primary consideration. .

Besides, the producer of Li Xian's new film is still "The Paper", which was opened by the son of the former Xiaoxiang factory director, and Chi Zhonghe and others are also there. They have great advantages in resources. Getting the "state-owned theaters" is a high-ranking film of the provincial theaters, and another example...

How did it become like this.

Since being compared, Xie Lansheng actually didn't want to lose.For himself and for that girl.

Knowing that there will be people discussing it on the forum of Tianxia Movies, Xie Lansheng opened the very familiar address.

Sure enough, there were more than a dozen posts floating on the front page, and Xie Lansheng entered them one by one.

As a result...they didn't like him at all.

In fact, because this is a movie forum created by Xie Lansheng himself, he will definitely say good things about himself. Although the forum users do not know that the big moderator is Xie Lansheng, they have a good impression of "Xie Lansheng" after a long period of subtle influence, but now, they are all Not optimistic about him.

Someone said: [I remember, I remember!Xie Lansheng said that Li Xian's film is very, very bad, if he has the official support of 2.8 million box office, he can easily win it! 】

Others said: [Director Xie only knows how to make boring movies... Can you also play in the ring like this? 】

[It's definitely not going to happen... "Love at First Sight" still feels like a family theme, but it may be changed to happy ending, there is no essential difference. 】

[Li Xian understands commercialization very well. "Baoji New Hairpin" is not bad. 】

[Li Xian is the number one director, and no one can break the 2.8 million box office. The general public is willing to go to the cinema because of "Li Xian". They want to see another "Baoji New Hairpin" or another "xxxx ", forget about him, Xie Lansheng, most people haven't seen it, the cumulative box office in mainland China: 0.Ha ha ha ha! ! 】

Xie Lansheng flipped through the pages, feeling quite bored.

Bored because he was hit, and he was powerless to refute.

However, Xie Lansheng couldn't accept being abused by Li Xian in full view.

Now, if it cannot be released on May Day, it is a loss, and if the box office is not good, it is still a loss.

"..." Xie Lansheng was inexplicably wronged and called Xin Ye.

He recounted the matter, and said, "This is fucking..." "Xin Ye, it's so annoying."

Xin Ye was silent for a moment, and replied: "Lan Sheng, let's do our best together. Just make the movie well, and I will do its promotion myself."

"Um……"

"As for the follow-up development... a little trust in the public's aesthetics."

"Um……"

Xie Lansheng is not sure about Xinye's own ability.

Isn't it completely useless?

Xie Lansheng actually thinks that Li Xian is currently regressing, or in other words, he has given up on continuous thinking.At that time, under the influence of the "main theme", Li Xian's films were very popular. He liked to make "movies for the whole people" and hit the pulse of the times.But now, in the modern 21st century, he has lost some direction. He doesn't know "the preferences of the whole people", because there is no preference for the whole people.Many things have become ethereal, and it has become difficult to cater to the public. This requires the director to observe and think a lot, and coincide with a certain group. Li Xian is not good at it, and he doesn't know "what to shoot".

Therefore, it is not impossible that Li Xian's new film is very ugly.

And Xie Lansheng is very clear about Xinye's ability to operate.

It's not impossible for "Love at First Sight" to turn around in the future...?

Xie Lansheng sighed, and said to Xinye, "Xinye, I am lucky to have you."

"Oh?"

"It's not completely useless, at least you can fight it out."

Thinking about it, Xie Lansheng said again: "It seems that since the first "Rooting", you have been like a cheating device... omnipotent."

Lee Hyun: Do you miss me?
