New Age Artists

Chapter 46 The Power of Media Fear
Since Shen Santong plans to make a living in the film industry, he naturally has to find the key to his success.

Subconsciously, he felt that analyzing the reasons for success was important and crucial to him.

"I'm busy with work. Your movie Peacock is about to be released. If you're not busy promoting it, why do you still have time to come and see me?"

Shen Santong made it impossible for teacher Zhang Jingchu to concentrate.

Teacher Zhang is indeed very pretty, worthy of being called little Zhang Ziyi.

It’s not the so-called ambitious face, but a very pure and youthful one.

Zhang Ziyi has a Coke commercial with a very classic taste.

The so-called ambition is written on the face, but it is filtered through reality.

Putting aside the filters, the pure beauty has the flavor of summer lemon.

"Don't you have a new play? I came to see it."

Zhang Jingchu ran his finger across the corner of his mouth and made a gesture.

"Teacher Zhang, you are forcing me to commit a crime."

Shen Santong said that you are too direct, please respect yourself.

"Do you have the courage?" Zhang Jingchu smiled happily.

She has nothing to pretend. The movie Supermarket was truly a shocking purple-gold hammer that blew up the film market.

Teacher Zhang now wants Shen Santong to take advantage of the situation.

It's a pity that this man never moves on his own.

"I have a role in my new play that's perfect for you."

Shen Santong thought about it and decided that his next movie would be "Lost on Journey".

This play must be changed.

The gaze in the original version is very uncomfortable, a kind of condescending and disgusted perspective.

A deceitful woman does not need to be whitewashed, but she can be reversed.

It would be very exciting for Zhang Jingchu to play such a role.

"I want this."

Zhang Jingchu expressed his gratitude on the spot.

After a long time.

"Whoever designed this office is simply forcing me to make mistakes."

Shen Santong watched Zhang Jingchu stagger out of the office.

The holy light shines in the heart and enters a sacred state.

In a nice office, they had to dig out a small room with a bed and a bathroom.

If you don't know about the secret door, you can't see it from the outside.

The room uses extremely high standard sound insulation materials, so no matter how loud you shout inside, there will be no sound from outside.

With this design, Sima Zhao's intention is clear to everyone.

"Oh, I designed it myself, that's fine."

Shen Santong reviewed the situation carefully with a state as holy as Buddha.

"I probably understand."

Shen Santong read through many hot posts and comments on Dongtian.com, and combined them with media reports, he became thoughtful.

A user on Dongtian.com wrote a film review which went viral.

Finally, a movie that resonates with me

The user talked about his job at a TV station. His income was not low, but a movie ticket was half a day's salary for him.

He is a movie lover and has a dream of making movies.

But the domestic films did not live up to his expectations.

Domestic feature films are okay and watchable. You can rent the discs and watch them at home, which is acceptable.

It hurts to make him spend money to go to the cinema to watch feature films.

The only domestic films he could watch in the cinema were those by Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.

However, the movies of these two people are always a little bit lacking.

Zhang Yimou’s colors are good, but the plot is not so good.

"Hero", in front of Qin Shi Huang, the four great masters are nothing but Qin Wuyang and his ilk.

Are the thugs who bully ordinary people worthy of being compared with Qin Shi Huang?

It is hard to understand why he dislikes any themes about assassinating Qin Shi Huang and belittling him.

Now our descendants all benefit from the great unification of that time.

Apart from history, who is qualified to evaluate the First Emperor?
Last summer, Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" was as beautiful as ever, but the plot was flawed. Feng Xiaogang's "Cell Phone" was awkward about the middle-aged man's struggles and excuses for his philandering.

In the movie "A World Without Thieves", we try to find humanity for the thief.

It is impossible to understand or sympathize with a thief.

He is a car mechanic from the same village.

When I went to the city to purchase goods, the three thousand yuan purchase money was sewn into the inside pocket of my clothes and was stolen.

A man in his forties, the pillar of the family, was as helpless as a child and kept slapping himself in the face.

Thief, when you consider the thief's humanity, have you ever considered the person who was stolen from?
However, both Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang are domestic directors who are better at telling stories and who respect the audience the most.

At least I'll pretend.

When you go to the cinema to watch a movie, even if you are not very satisfied with it, at least the money you spend is not too bad because there are stars.

As for other art films, he wouldn't even want to watch them even if the discs were free.

He really couldn't stand watching the stuff shot by the sixth generation directors, it was too disgusting.

Even if it wasn't the kind of art that was sold abroad, he didn't like it.

What the director wants to express is very superficial, just his own little emotions.

A trivial matter was turned into a world-shaking event.

Apart from domestic films, imported films are like fried chicken.

You can eat it, but not every day.

As for Hong Kong films, they are a low-end version of fast food.

I know it's trying hard to be funny, and I know it's trying to please me, but it always fails to please me.

"Supermarket" is different, completely different.

This is not some fringe subject matter. Finally, we see normal people in a domestic film.

The police are good, the robbers should be shot dead, saturation rescue.

The key point is that the director did not deliberately show these things, but hid them behind the jokes.

I was nervous when I first watched it, fearing that the director would be overly self-conscious and would not be able to help but show up and disgust the audience.

But from beginning to end, there was no disgusting feeling at all.

It's not forcedly funny, it's very lifelike, and it doesn't rely on stars but on the plot.

The director is full of sincerity. Looking at all the domestic directors, this is the only and rare movie that can resonate with the audience.

It’s not the Westernized taste of Zhang Yimou’s Chinese food.

It's not the regional flavor of BJ plus his own disgusting taste.

It’s not imported fried chicken, nor is it Hong Kong fast food.

It is the best delicacy, our own delicacy, and it tastes delicious.

The replies below are very popular.

Basically, it touched my heart and summarized what I wanted to say.

After reading this post, Shen Santong understood why this drama grossed over 100 million yuan.

Not to mention now, even in the future, there will be few directors who respect the audience.

What they mean by not being able to understand is because of the low quality of the audience, and whats more, the movies I made have a threshold.

All kinds of weird theories.

If you think about it carefully, there is only one true commercial film director, Chen Sicheng.

In 05, the audience was even worse off.

You can only eat fried chicken or fast food. In China, either Chinese food is cooked in a Western way or has a weird taste.

I wanted to eat something delicious but couldn't find it.

Shen Santong was worried that the movie would not be popular, while the audience was worried that the money they spent on tickets would be wasted and that they would be disgusted by the meal.

"At the end of the day, the audience is very innocent and lovely."

The audience is lovely and has discerning eyes. Their vision is sharp.

Many media reports ignore this point. If you serve the audience well, you don't have to worry about the box office.

Ultimately, the media is somewhat disgusted with the power of the audience.

Naturally ignore and avoid.

"The rhythm of my play is somewhat familiar."

Shen Santong quickly looked up the media timeline and took a breath. It was a familiar smell.
