Little Farmer Big Star

"Mansfield State Prison?" Robbins was a little surprised that Li Fan knew about that prison.

In Ohio, there is indeed a prison called Mansfield State.

However, Mansfield State Penitentiary has been abandoned for many years and is quite dilapidated. The government department is said to be planning to dismantle the prison, but for unknown reasons, it has been delayed.

Many Ohio natives do not know there is such a prison, but Li Fan, a Chinese, knows about it.

Robbins knew about Mansfield State Penitentiary because his hometown was not far from Mansfield State Penitentiary.

Although he was surprised and didn't know the intention of Li Fan's question, Robbins still said: "Yes sir, there is indeed a prison called Mansfield State in Ohio. It's just that the prison has been abandoned for many years. Some are broken."

Grover also knew that there was such a prison in Ohio, but he didn't understand Li Fan's intention at all. Looking at Li Fan, his expression became more and more puzzled.

In fact, not only Grover, but everyone at the scene did not understand Li Fan's intention, including Hu Fei, Yin Changming and other Chinese filmmakers, and they also looked at Li Fan with some doubts.

The reporters at the scene were not rushing to the draft at this time, and they were discussing with each other that Li Fan asked about the intention of Mansfield State Prison.

The audience at the scene was naturally talking.

"Who is this young boy from China? What is the purpose of his question? What does it have to do with the subject matter they choose?"

"Is there such a prison in Ohio? I'm from Ohio and I've never heard of such a prison."

"I haven't heard of it. It's normal. Who would pay attention to the name of a prison? Besides, it's an abandoned prison."

"As Mr. Robbins said, there is indeed such a prison in Ohio. But, what does that young Chinese man mean? Can he represent Chinese filmmakers?"

"The representatives of other filmmakers in China didn't speak at this time. That young man should be able to represent them."

"..."

The crowd was full of discussions, and the audience from China in the crowd,

At this time, he looked at Li Fan thoughtfully.

...

Li Fan ignored the doubts and voices of the people around him, but looked at Robbins with some deep meaning, nodded, and said, "Thank you. It's good to have such a prison. It's just the name of this prison, It's really a little too long."

Robbins said: "To be honest, I also feel that its name is too long, and every time I mention it, I feel a little inconvenient. But it is called this name, and there is no way."

Li Fan smiled and said, "Maybe we can change its name to a shorter name."

Robbins said: "It is indeed a way."

Although Robbins answered the question like this, he became more and more confused, and he didn't understand Li Fan's intention more and more.

It sounds like Li Fan is very interested in that prison, and he said that he wants to change the name, which is really incomprehensible.

He really didn't understand, what was so special about a dilapidated prison that had been abandoned for many years and the government departments had already planned to demolish it?

Moreover, Li Fan is also a Chinese.

Robbins became more and more confused, and everyone on the scene, including Grover and the filmmakers, also became more and more confused, and could not understand Li Fan's intention at all.

Fortunately, Li Fan quickly let them understand.

After thanking Robbins again, Li Fan said to Grover: "Mr. Grover, the subject matter we want to shoot has been determined, and that is 'prison', and we plan to shoot with 'prison' as the subject matter. a movie."

"With 'prison' as the theme?" Everyone was stunned, can prison also be used as a movie theme? Is there a market for such a movie?

Everyone's first reaction after being stunned was a bit ridiculous.

Prison, a place where prisoners are held, they really don't know how to make movies about prisons?

Even if it was actually made into a movie, would anyone be interested in watching it?

Most of the people at the scene couldn't help shaking their heads. It was absolutely impossible for them to be interested in watching a movie about prison.

Prisons, where criminals are concentrated, are dark and uncomfortable. How could they be interested in seeing them?

Everyone felt incredible. However, they did understand Li Fan's intention in asking Robbins about Mansfield State Prison.

It turned out to be a movie about a prison.

I have to say, this idea is very bold. If today was just more challenging than whose chosen subject matter? Then, the theme of the prison will undoubtedly be the first.

It's not just a question of whether it's challenging, it's a ridiculous choice.

Grover also felt incredible. He looked at Li Fan and said, "Are you serious, sir? Do you really want to use 'prison' as the theme?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "Of course, I think this theme is not bad, is there any problem?"

Why is there a problem? The problem is not, will the audience be willing to watch this key theme?

Not to mention that no audience is willing to watch it, even the director is reluctant to make it. Which director would be willing to make a movie with the theme of "prison"?

It doesn't matter whether there are box office results or not, the important thing is that it is likely to be ridiculed by peers and the outside world, saying that there is a problem with the brain, and even going to make a movie with the theme of "prison".

In the same way, I am afraid that not many actors are willing to act, even if they are new actors without any reputation, I am afraid that they are not willing.

Because, if they become famous in the future, and they have made movies with the theme of "prison", it is very likely that it will become their disgraceful experience, and they will be dug up and ridiculed.

Of course, film investors are even more afraid to invest. If you invest, you will definitely be ridiculed. How dare you invest in a movie with this theme?

These problems are obvious and can be imagined with a little analysis.

Therefore, it can also be said that there is a real problem, a big problem.

Among the filmmakers of Lan Guo, a filmmaker named Jasper said: "Sir, the subject of 'prison' seems a bit inappropriate, sir, you might as well think about it more."

The relationship between the Languo film industry and the Chinese film industry is good, and Jasper couldn't help but want to remind Li Fan.

In the previous period, Li Fan had already known Jasper's name and knew that Jasper was well-intentioned. He smiled friendly and said, "Thanks for Mr. Jasper's kindness, but I am not interested in this subject. film with confidence.”

"This..." Jasper couldn't say anything else, and looked at Hu Fei, Yin Changming and the others. The meaning is obvious, that is, to ask Hu Fei, Yin Changming and others, does what this young man say really represents your opinion? Why don't you say a few words?
