I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 275 KO! (14)

Shen Liang's concerns...

It actually makes sense!

"Ash Is Purest White" is really a difficult movie to watch.

Jia Zhangkefei mixed small town love and urban social changes together, which was incongruous and lost the focus, and neither of them was played well...

The key characters have become a pile of symbols, and there is less experience in the process of facing all kinds of love, hatred, and emotions. It is no longer a process of gradually losing family, love, and friendship like in "Xiao Wu", nor is it a process of transformation and despair of an idle young man from a small town.

The story of the children of Jianghu was forcibly told as the ruthlessness of the big pig's hoof and the deep affection of the garlic-peeling girl.

Why so affectionate and why so heartless, all passed by...

Shen Liang took a photo of the movie ticket before finishing the movie, and then posted: "It is sad for a person to not be able to step out of his own world. Anything you do seriously is a joke in the eyes of others.

If you isolate yourself, what’s the point of traveling around the world and seeing alien civilizations?

The world of martial arts does not exist wherever there are people. The world of martial arts is in everyone's body. There is not only the world of martial arts in the body, but also mountains, rivers, and bamboo boats.

The human body is a small universe that contains everything, like Mount Sumeru or a mustard seed. So a small world of Jianghu is naturally within it.

Maybe this is the true meaning of this movie.

Unfortunately, the filming was a failure, the character design was too thin, and the scene was too torn, and it couldn't support such a large venue.

This movie has nothing to do with the background of the times or the hometown. If this story happened in the Northeast, with a big brother who spoke the Northeast dialect and wore a gold chain and a little girl who was wearing a mink coat and picking garlic, there would be no sense of disobedience. It could even happen in Hong Kong...

If… this movie wasn’t directed by Jia Zhangke, I guess Douban would only give it a 5-point score at best—you know, the last movie that made me feel so uncomfortable in a theater was The Ferryman!”

After posting on Weibo, he pushed Bai Lu and said, "Wake up, let's go eat..."

"Well…"

Bai Lu opened her eyes dazedly and yawned, "Is the movie over?"

"No...but I just can't bear to watch it anymore!"

"…Isn't it a bad idea to leave now?"

Shen Liang was speechless and motioned for her to look around: "Do you think there is anyone else here?"

Bai Lu looked around, okay... they were the only two left in the entire theater...

The key point is that the big screen is still showing "Ash Is Purest White"...

I couldn't help but ask: "...are they all gone?"

"What do you say?"

Shen Liang stood up and adjusted his sunglasses: "Let's go, I just asked Lao Li, he said there is a snack street nearby..."

"…Ah? You really want to eat?"

"You're not hungry? I'm starving!"

Shen Liang took the lead and walked forward.

"Wait for me..."

"You're here to watch a movie, and you're carrying a bag... Never mind, I'll get it for you!"

"...I'll take out my phone..." Bai Lu opened her bag in front of Shen Liang, and then...a box of Master Du's...

Shen Liang looked a little surprised...

Bai Lu quickly explained: "It must have been my assistant who did it..."

"You forgot... I don't even need this thing..." Shen Liang replied subconsciously, then looked at her: "Didn't you say you wanted to go back early?"

"You're nosy... You want some snacks? Come on!"

……

There are many delicious foods in Chongqing...

The two of us were strolling around the food court, eating a few random dishes and we were almost full...

"If you're still hungry, there's a KFC over there!" "...KFC burgers aren't tasty..." Shen Liang waved his hand: "Besides, I'm not hungry anymore, let's go."

Bai Lu asked knowingly, "Where are we going?"

“…find a place to reminisce…”

"…I know, but where can we go to reminisce?"

"Can we go to my room?"

"That's fine..." Bai Lu immediately explained, "My assistant lives next door to me... I'm worried that she will disturb us!"

"Is your assistant male or female?"

“It’s a woman!”

“…How old are you?”

"What do you want to do? I told you my assistant is a very serious person..."

"…What are you thinking about?" Shen Liang said innocently, "I've been listening to you talk about your assistant all the way. Can't I just be curious?"

"Hmph... you'd better just be curious!"

"Of course I'm curious..."

"I believe it!" Bai Lu rolled her eyes and said casually: "Besides, it's already difficult for you to deal with just one!"

"…That is…" Shen Liang subconsciously replied, then realized something was wrong: "What did you say?"

"I said, you are no match for me at all!"

"You wait!"

Shen Liang had no intention of going shopping, but he felt an urge to show off what he had learned in the past two years...

So insulting!
I just took a taxi back to the hotel...

……

In fact, no matter how much Jia Zhangke jumps around, the upper limit of the box office of "Ash Is Purest White" will not exceed 100 million!

The subject matter and theater schedule are listed here.

The filming schedule is about 8%, and the attendance rate is less than 5%... The daily revenue is only 200 million...

Even if we ask Yang Chaoyue to join the promotion, it will be useless!
Once the National Day holiday begins, it is estimated that not even 1% of the screening time will be gone.

But Jia Zhang is not only a film director, he is also an investor and producer!

He needs heat.

So, after a lot of criticism and listing of twelve points, I can actually summarize them in one sentence: "The truth is the greatest positive energy!"

In fact, to be honest, in my country's literary and artistic film industry, before they achieved success and fame, their works were spiritual and natural, but after they achieved success and fame, they were trapped by fame. Filmmakers like Jia Zhangke, the more they tried to present reality in their later works, the more they actually became out of touch with reality...

Because their perspective is presented from a condescending angle, they can only gain recognition from people who stand at the same condescending angle as them. They can neither gain recognition from the real class and group in reality, nor can they provide appropriate solutions. They just give some topics of conversation to a small group of art lovers.

But he certainly doesn't think so - he even thinks "Ash Is Purest White" can win the Cannes Film Festival!

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be promoted so high-profile.

Now Shen Liang has posted three Weibo posts, first saying "I don't like Jia Zhangke", then @ing him, and after watching the movie... he directly criticized the movie itself...

It’s not good not to respond!
But Shen Liang did not say anything like "gloomy" or "feeling depressed", but said that this movie is not good. If it was not directed by Jia Zhangke, the Douban score would probably be less than five points because it is too ugly!

How to respond to this?

Zhu Weijie, the producer of "Ash Is Purest White", came out and listed the award nominations that "Ash Is Purest White" received... By the way, @Shen Liang, asked, "Don't these awards understand the art of film?"

Shen Liang was just recovering from his mana recovery and saw this response, so he immediately posted:
“How dare you mention Cannes? Let me ask you, since you want to win a Western award, do you have to cater to the aesthetic preferences of the film festival judges?
"The art world has this nasty problem. They always think they are awesome just by sticking the word 'art' on themselves. Critics are just vulgar people who don't understand art...

When did "telling the truth" become a fig leaf for movies? Is it awesome to be nominated for a few awards? Did you win any awards?
Have you studied the core content that film festivals all over the world care about now? You still look at the world with the aesthetics of 20 years ago... I am really ashamed for you!

In addition, I criticized Zhang Yi and Chen Kai in the live broadcast room, why didn't I see them respond? You guys are too nosy? This is the last Weibo post about Director Jia, don't reply to me, and quote a famous saying of a Northeast philosopher: Damn, I hate people who pretend to be cool the most! The key is that they don't pretend to be cool enough! "
