acting substitution syndrome

Chapter 144 Director Yin Xian

The two went to the hotel to stay. There were other nominated actors living here on the same floor, and Robbie saw Liu Qingshan.

"Xiao Luo, Feifei."

"Brother Liu."

"Brother Liu, when did you arrive?"

"I came here yesterday and went around the night markets in Taipei. It was very interesting. I will take the two of you there today."

Don't look at Liu Qingshan looking dull in Jiao Guodong's movie, in fact he is a very energetic actor, occasionally a little rough, such as wearing flip-flops and Z-shaped hats now.

Luo Buli and Zhao Xiaofei changed their clothes, and followed Liu Qingshan to the night market.

The night market in Taipei is quite lively, and most of them are desserts. Zhao Xiaofei actually likes to eat them, but she dares not eat too much. She wants to keep fit, so Lobri doesn’t have so many problems.

"Boss, another taro ball..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the boss rushing over excitedly and slapped Rob on the shoulder.

"You're that actor called Carrot!"

Robbie choked, "It's me, it's me."

"I knew it was you, come to Wanwan to participate in the Golden Horse Horse Race, I wish you success!"

Robbie became interested: "How do you know about me?"

The boss laughed happily: "Your village official played well. Although I don't watch TV very much, I also watched the little Feng Secretary you played. Oh, the performance is really good. The mayor of Taipei is almost ashamed. okay..."

After some questioning, I found out that a candidate for the mayor of Taipei was said to have been inspired by watching "Village Officials" and went to the homes of people in poor areas of Taipei, saying that he wanted to share weal and woe with them. I couldn't wait anymore, so I ran out naked without even wearing shorts.

"Let me tell you, Wanwan is finished now." The boss said, "Of course, your officials may not be as good as those in TV dramas, but they will never be worse than the officials in Taipei, tsk tsk, please." Hurry up and free us..."

Boss: "Oh, is that okay to say?"

Robbie: "...whatever you need."

Boss: "No, I heard that your poverty alleviation policy is very good. I think this is a question we ask for advice."

Boss: "Our officials are simply blind to the poor."

Boss: "So I would like to ask you from mainland China, is the poverty alleviation policy effective? Is the whole people well-off?"

Robery: "Oh, well-off for all people, it's from the inside out..."

……

Robli and the others walked around the night market and returned to the hotel after nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhao Xiaofei had just taken a shower when she heard a knock on the door of the room.

Zhao Xiaofei thought it was an assistant coming over, but when she opened the door, it turned out to be Robli.

Robbie the dog.

"anyone there?"

Zhao Xiaofei: "I'm not human?"

"No, I said except you?"

"That's gone... wait, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Robli stuffed a box into her hand: "Here, I will put it on myself later."

Zhao Xiaofei was taken aback: "What is it?"

I heard Robery say: "Pinhole camera."

Zhao Xiaofei: "..."

Zhao Xiaofei: "What do you mean, let me install this thing in my room?"

Robery lowered his voice: "I tell you, this place is not safe, there must be spies!"

Robry alert: "Beware of spies!"

Zhao Xiaofei: "...Robri, are you out of your mind? Have you watched too many spy war dramas?"

……

Robry returned to his room, looked at the camera on the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

When they came here, director Zou Zhipeng and the others joked that Robbie played a spy, and now they went to Wanwan to experience it.

Robbury himself also felt that it was necessary to go deep into the heart of the character.

He hasn't come out of the role of spy yet.

It looks like they are talking about intelligence.

The morning delivery man knocked on Robrie's door.

"Good morning, sir, breakfast is here."

I heard Robbie's voice from inside: "Put down the lunch box, raise your hands, turn around, don't look back!"

……

Robbie sat in the hall.

"Look, that must be a spy!"

Zhao Xiaofei looked up, facing a middle-aged man reading a newspaper.

Just listen to Robery's vigilance: "He must be using newspapers to block his sight and observe in secret!"

……

The hotel lobby phone rang.

Robli was shocked: "One, two, three, hang up after three hits, this is the agreed code!"

……

Liu Qingshan was the first to be unable to hold back, and leaned forward and backward laughing.

Liu Qingshan: "Xiao Luo, I think you look like a spy."

Robli was stunned: "Ah... my identity has been exposed, I surrender!"

……

When several people were enjoying themselves, they saw a person walking in the hall.

White hair, but the aura is eye-catching.

Liu Qingshan stood up, strode over to say hello: "Director Yin!"

After being reminded by Liu Qingshan, Robli suddenly remembered who this person was.

Yin Xian, the father of Wanwan film.

The three directors with the highest status in the history of Chinese-language directors are Zhang Mingyi, Yin Xian, and Wenma who has ventured into Hollywood.

In the 90s of the last century, Yin Xian was shortlisted for Berlin with "The Moon Rises on the Sea", won the Golden Bear, and also won the first place in the double list of authoritative film magazines "Cinema Handbook" and "Sight and Sound".

This movie is so famous, the famous 3-minute empty shot made the critics around the world not even say "the best of the year" to the movie, and directly shouted "one of the shocking and extraordinary masterpieces of this century".

Yoon Hyun is also known as the Orson Welles of the Bay.

What's more, Orson Welles has only one "Citizen Kane", and Yin Xianjia has produced many works, not only winning the Golden Bear, but also winning the Cannes Jury Prize, and even winning the Golden Horse for many times.

In the end, he won the Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award.

Not to mention actors from Wanwan, actors from mainland China also dream of receiving an invitation from Director Yin in their acting career.

If Zhang Mingyi's achievement lies in his contribution to the color of the film, and Wen Ma's achievement lies in his exploration of the lens, then Yin Xian's status in Chinese film history comes from his various attempts at film language.

Among the world's top [-] directors voted by "Sight and Sound", Yin Xian is also the only Chinese director to enter the top [-], and the only three Asian directors to enter this ranking.

The other two are island nations.

Liu Qingshan had obviously met Yin Xian before, and he looked very familiar, Zhao Xiaofei and Luo Bri had never met Yin Yin, especially Zhao Xiaofei, his face turned red with excitement.

"Director Yin, this is Zhao Xiaofei. This time, he brought the movie "A Moment of Sadness" to participate in the Golden Horse."

Yin Xian just smiled: "I haven't watched this movie yet, I must watch it when I have time."

"This is Robry. The shortlisted film this time is a science fiction film called..."

"Fly to Ptolemy," who knows that Yin Xian turned to Robli, and said the name of the movie: "I watched the Chinese science fiction movie. It was really good, but it was a bit too Hollywood."

……

Robli laughed and said: "This movie follows the Hollywood model, from the script to the shooting to the production process."

Yin Xian: "I heard that your own special effects company did it?"

Robrey nodded: "Yes."

"The special effects are very good, not far behind foreign special effects," Yin Xian said, "How much is the box office?"

Robbury: "The box office in the mainland has exceeded 50 billion."

Yin Xian took a deep breath: "It's amazing, it's amazing, with such a box office, it should be the number one box office in the world this year."

As he spoke, he sighed subtly: "Commercial films are getting better and better."

Liu Qingshan seemed to feel something, "Yes, the space for literary and artistic films is getting more and more squeezed. People are paying attention to blockbuster movies, and they are less and less able to calm down and watch a literary and artistic film."

However, Robery said: "Art films are very good, and I quite like them, but the Chinese film market cannot always be filled with art films, because they cannot stop Hollywood's long-term drive."

Liu Qingshan is an actor in literary and artistic films, so he doesn't like to hear such words. He frowned and said, "I've heard a lot of sayings like this, saying that if you don't make commercial films, Chinese films will die. I think this is simply scaremongering. .”

Unexpectedly, Robbury shook his head: "Brother Liu, I'm not alarmist. If you watch Wanwan movies, won't you die?"

Wanwan Films used to dominate Southeast Asia, and even Xiangjiang, the oriental Hollywood, would shy away from it.

But later it took the wrong route, declined, and died.

Why go the wrong route?

Because in the 80s, there was a divergence in the way of Wanwan film, one group wanted to follow the path of Hollywood, and the other wanted to take the road of art. Later, the art film director headed by Yin Xian won, demanding the promotion of art films and boycotting commercial films. The movie has become a niche movie only for a few elites.

Then Wanwan Films was completely abandoned by the market, especially after the opening of blockbuster films from the United States, there was no way to fight back.

A romantic literary film or an American "Mummy" is shown in theaters, which one do you think you would choose?

"Xiao Luo!"

Liu Qingshan turned his head slightly and glanced at Yin Xian, the latter frowned and his expression was not good.

Unexpectedly, Yin Xian said: "Let him say, I must listen to the thoughts of the younger generation today."

Robli said casually: "Have you brought Suxiao Jiuxin Pills? If not, I have them..."

Zhao Xiaofei pinched Robli's arm severely.

Robbie groaned, and then said seriously: "Everyone in the film industry knows that movies have three attributes. Movies are technology; movies are commodities; movies are art. That is to say, movies must have artistic appreciation. But it’s also a commodity.”

It is a commodity that needs to be sold for money.

If you think about the cost of filming, the money for production, and the money for theater screenings, the film must be sold for money, otherwise the entire industry will not be recycled, and the film will have no future.

What movie can best guarantee the input-output ratio.

commercial film.

It is precisely because Wanwan Films placed literary and artistic films in the mainstream that they were defeated by industrially perfect Hollywood films.

Yin Xian shook his head and said in disapproval: "You all say that commerce and art should coexist, but now the survival soil of literary and artistic films has been squeezed. At the edge of the show, it is already very difficult to put literary and commercial films together to accept the test of the market, and it needs to be protected even more."

Robrey smiled: "You said that literary films and commercial films are tested by the market together. Yes, the result of the market test is that most literary films are not as good-looking as commercial films, but why is this? Is it true that the audience has no vision? Did the dumplings feed the pigs?"

Many directors scolded the audience angrily when they saw the poor box office of their films, saying that the audience had no vision and could not understand the connotation inside.

But in fact, the problem is not with the audience, but with the director.

"Who said that art films must be poor at the box office?" Robbury said: "Akira Kurosawa has made many art films, but they are popular all over the world. Yasujiro Ozu is the director of art films. Is his box office poor? Woody Allen movies, too, but they all do well at the box office."

Why are other people's art films popular when they are shot?

For one reason, the audience thinks the movie is not good, so they will not watch it!

It has nothing to do with art films and commercial films!

Yin Xian was speechless all of a sudden, looking a little disappointed, but still shook his head.

"I firmly believe that movies are art and should not be disturbed by money. Excessive pursuit of commerce and marketization will make movies that are fast food and not nutritious. Movies... must have culture and dignity, and have a mission."

Robry was immediately in awe, and then...continued to attack him mercilessly.
