You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 72 Mine Bottom Premiere (1)

  Because of cultural differences, in the eyes of some Western film critics, Chinese films are not very popular.

  Especially those twisted literary films.

  For example, Wang Shuai's film "The Gift of Seventeen", which was nominated for an award at Cannes.

  This movie is regarded as a classic in the Chinese literary and art circle. Many directors praised it after watching it. They felt that the background of the era was very heavy, and people couldn't help but cry.

   However, the reputation abroad is very mediocre, and many film critics even gave the film a 1-star rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes.

   They couldn't understand the characters' thoughts and behaviors, let alone what the directors wanted to show or express from the characters and stories, and even the tear-jerking part of the plot. They watched it several times and still couldn't understand it.

   They only felt that the actor was very noisy, suddenly angry, suddenly crying, and then suddenly reconciled...

   The movie ended inexplicably.

   They looked inexplicably.

   That is a sense of cultural division.

   "The Gift of Seventeen" was nominated at Cannes but did not win, and ultimately lost to an anti-war film called "Galvia".

The reason for the general environment, after all, in 2003, a senior leader of Laomei took a bag of washing powder and a group of soldiers chewing gum into a country to find contraband. The soldiers found forty After many days, I finally found a lot of cans that can put discarded chewing gum, and happily announced the end of the "special mission".

  Many filmmakers dared not to speak out at the time. After half a year, they finally criticized this "special operation of washing powder" in the form of a movie.

  The Cannes filmmakers raved about "Galvia" and thought it was a kind of spirit, and "The Gift of Seventeen" is too far behind.

  Glein, as a film critic of "The Screen", was assigned by the company to the screening room of "The Bottom of the Mine".

   After hearing the news yesterday, the little girl felt very aggrieved. She had been to Cannes a few years ago, and happened to watch the "Seventeen Years Old Gift", which made her confused.

   Say something!

   She really can't stand those messy Chinese literary films.

   She applied to the company to come to Berlin for the German director Basil's film "Particle Technology".

   No matter how bad it is, I hope I can go to the No. 12 screening hall, and I can watch the French romantic movie "Pirates", right?

result!

   was assigned to "Warring States" a few days ago!

   Stupidly, after watching the movie, I came out dizzy, feeling that I had watched a **** that was very ornately packaged.

   What's even more speechless is that the company's leaders ask you to find a way to blow this shit. No matter how bad it is, you can't criticize the movie during the screening.

  FUCK!

  Probably, the Huaxia director put money into the company again.

In fact, this situation is quite normal. In addition to winning awards, everyone came to Berlin to try to sell films in various ways. Naturally, many media have to make arrangements in advance. Berlin also has the status of special invited guests, more or less Berlin's face is to be given.

   This feeling makes her feel very uncomfortable. She has a feeling of being oppressed by capitalism. This feeling has not subsided. Today, the company assigned her to the movie "The Bottom of the Mine".

All right!

   is another movie produced by the same company, and the little girl instantly felt that she had no love for her life.

When    came to the entrance of the No. 6 projection hall, Glein felt weak holding the microphone, as if he was carrying a 100-pound burden.

   This state continued until she saw the "welcome bear" at the door.

   The bear that greets the guests is really cute!

  Stand there holding the sign in a daze, looking at everyone with a blank look, coupled with the sincere handsome face with bear ears, so cute that people want to go up and touch it!

   When he was about to walk into the screening room, Glenn knew that the "welcome bear" was actually the director of the movie.

All right!

   No matter how bad your filming is today, for the sake of the group photo, I will scold you lightly.

  Grain bit his pen cutely, made this decision silently, and walked into the screening room.

  The moment you walk into the theater...

   She was stunned!

   The empty scene she imagined did not appear, and she even realized that she might not have a place to sit...

   Then he looked at the people in the back row, and when he saw the figure of Charlotte Celie, Glenn suddenly realized that this movie might be completely different from the Chinese movies he had watched in the past!

   There was no premiere speech, and no other bells and whistles before the premiere of the movie. The premiere of "The Bottom of the Mine" started as soon as the little girl sat down.

  …………

   "The lens is too bad."

   "Light up the mess."

   "The stability of the picture is terrible."

  “…”

   The premiere of the movie has begun.

   When the camera slowly landed on a mine, Zhou Yilin's face was very ugly.

   His first impression of the movie was bad.

   Zhou Yilin, who has extremely high requirements for lens aesthetics, simply cannot accept that the opening of a movie is so bad, and what is even more unacceptable is that such a bad film is nominated for Berlin nomination.

   is ridiculous.

  The beginning of the film made Zhou Yilin feel that the film was very dull, as if it was shot with a DV machine, and it was not shot normally, but rather like a film that was secretly filmed by sneaking into a private coal mine.

   "The picture is too artless!"

   Zhou Yilin's face became ugly again, as if something was choked in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out no matter how much he spit it out.

He saw the construction vehicles that came and went whipped up a burst of dust, the workers didn't even wear masks, shuttled around in the dust, the low dilapidated coal houses, and even the slop buckets were full of messy vegetable leaves, I feel nauseated even through the screen. Under the lens, you can even see the dust on the DV camera. No matter how you wipe it, you can't clean it. Oh no, it's on the camera.

   After the camera was finally cleaned up a little, Zhou Yilin saw a few more migrant workers who were smoking each other in the camera. They spoke a dialect, their eyes were dull, and they were full of the simple temperament of old farmers in the northwest.

   Zhou Yilin can only use two words to describe it, that is old-fashioned!

   Dirty backgrounds of characters, so-called original ecological performances, natural sound effects with noises, and local dialects that are so obscure that you can’t understand them…

Before 2000, some overseas literary film lovers liked this set, but with the emergence of a large number of such pictures, this kind of film gradually became a third-rate work overseas, and after several exhibitions, it was not selected. Few directors of Huaxia have played this set since 2003.

   Zhou Yilin wanted to stand up and leave.

   But thinking of his own identity, he was patient, sat little by little, and watched carefully.

  The shaking shot was gradually pulled into the "cage" where three people went down the well. Deep in the long, narrow and claustrophobic wellhead, a long shot technique was used that made Zhou Yilin sneer even more...

   "I want to use a long shot to show off my skills to prove that this is a movie and not a DV movie, but the way to show off my skills is really unprofessional..."

   Like a video taken by a child with a garbage camera.

   Zhou Yilin became more speechless the more he looked.

   Looking at the long lens slowly and deeply, what is this to express?

   Almost 30 seconds of normal shooting time was wasted. How many stories can be inserted in these 30 seconds!

   "The second time I watched this long shot, I was still amazed!"

   "This is a hint that these three people have begun to gradually go deep into hell. Every time the camera shakes and the obscurity of the light represents unwillingness..."

   "At the same time, it also implies that in the dark and profound world, the light represented by the law has gradually disappeared, and human nature has been shrouded in darkness and has begun to be gradually wiped out!"

   "It's a rare art of photography!"

  “…”

   Zhou Yilin heard a sigh of emotion.

  He turned his head subconsciously.

  I saw the chairman Charlotte Sally staring at the screen and muttering to herself in English…

After    muttered to herself, she looked at a bald film dealer next to her.

"Mr. Zhuo Fulin, this movie is actually very suitable for watching a second time. Every time you watch the movie, you can see a different taste in the movie. However, I hope you can have a certain amount of what happens next. Prepare yourself mentally!"

   Seeing this scene, Zhou Yilin was stunned!
