Chapter 585 About Art and Money

“A little disappointed!”

Sitting at the film critic's seat in front of the theater, Liu Liang commented with some disappointment.

"Indeed, although the plot is good, you will know the ending after watching the beginning, and the character portrayal is also a bit stereotyped!"

Another film critic next to him also spoke, with a look of lack of interest on his face.

Not only him, but other film critics also showed disappointment.

As the movie series with the highest box office in North America in recent years, many people have been looking forward to Furious 3 since news of the box office of Furious 1 in North America spread back to Hong Kong.

But from the current point of view, this drama has obviously disappointed them.

"It seems that He Jin is planning to go back again. I thought he had changed his gender, but it seems that he will inevitably be captured by money."

Some people expressed dissatisfaction with He Jin.

"After all, you are young, and after all, you are the boss, and what you consider is always different from ours."

"Forehead……"

Doesn’t art come from money? How can you do art without money?

He Jin has always been very clear about his position in movies.

In the entire film industry, except for people who don't understand, no one would say that his movies don't have artistic flavor.

He Jin looked at Fang Paulo and asked.

Only He Jin, what he has been doing seems to be a person who is not interested in art.

He was ready to be criticized, but he didn't expect that the first film critic would be so disrespectful.

Just like Andy Lau, he is not pursuing art, he is purely doing it for work.

After pondering for a moment, He Jin touched his chin and shook his head.

What he said was a bit embarrassing.

As the movie ended, except for the film critics who were engrossed in writing reviews, the audience below began to discuss in low voices.

What He Jin said next left many people speechless.

Of course he also wants to play in art films, he also wants to be admired by his peers, and he also wants to win two Best Actor titles.

Also, I am a person who likes to be in the limelight. I like to stand on the stage and enjoy the applause of the audience instead of standing in the audience."

But he succeeds or fails, because he pursues art too much, which leads to most people not being able to understand his movies, which also leads to the fact that the box office of his movies is not even high.

"Yes, this is no worse than American blockbusters! It's just that the plot is a bit simple, but it's worth watching."

Fang Paulo pondered for a moment. As a China expert, of course he knew the meaning of this sentence.

In 1983, he settled in Hong Kong and engaged in film criticism and behind-the-scenes work. In 1988, he began his career as a film critic by writing film reviews for the South China Morning Post and serving as host of a TV show.

"I accept Mr. Fang's criticism, but there is one point I have to explain.

But no one is perfect, I hope you will be merciful."

But even if I don’t like art, everyone actually shouts the slogan very loudly.

The instructor is Le Daiyun, who made a cameo appearance in the film "The Sea is Calling" produced by BJ Film Studio.

He Jin and other main creators also took advantage of this time and began to take the stage one after another.

So it's normal that he can't get high box office results.

Because not everyone can understand art.

Therefore, when he saw the film critics shaking their heads, he could only choose to shake his head.

So, overall, this drama may not be liked by film critics, but in the eyes of the audience, it is a blockbuster and well worth watching.

Most viewers watch movies for fun rather than to pursue art.

The above evaluation is: Mature, very talented in film investment, very talented in music, but not interested in art films.

However, as soon as He Jin finished speaking, the next words from a film critic made him smile bitterly.

From 1980 to 1982, he studied Chinese films as a graduate student in the Modern Literature Department of the Chinese Department of BJ University in China, becoming the third batch of foreign students to study in China since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the reporters immediately expressed their joy.

He Jin was commented on in the report from BJ Film Studio.

I wonder if Mr. Fang really doesn’t know this saying, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too!”

Although the film critics were all staring at the screen, it was obvious that they were only interested in the special effects and had little interest in literary and artistic things such as plot and character depth.

Because since He Jin debuted, he has never shown interest in chasing movie stars and art films like others.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. It's obviously impossible to have a film that is both artistic and box-office-winning.

Paul Fonoroff. He was raised and educated in the United States.

In the audience, Han Sanping looked at He Jin with interest. He wanted to see how He Jin would answer.

These days, the slogan everyone shouts in the film industry is the pursuit of art, and He Jin seems a bit nondescript in this.

The man retorted.

So these reporters immediately pointed their cameras at He Jin and the foreigner, not intending to let this news go.

"Shocking, Fang Paulo scolded He Jin"

In addition, he also guest-starred in "The Dead Man", "Once Upon a Time in China" and so on.

After getting on the stage, He Jin asked the staff to hand over the microphone and began to speak.

The duration of speed three is ninety-nine minutes, which is one minute short of one hundred minutes.

However, the low depth of the plot also has its advantages, which means that the crew can focus more on character conflicts and various special effects.

"Jin Zai, you mean you have no money? You are a billionaire! Your income last year was a full 100 million higher than Jackie Chan."

If on the other hand, he says that the value of art is higher, then He Jin is denying himself.

"You are a talented person and I really want to see your art!"

If He Jin said that art is not as important as money, then He Jin would offend a large number of film critics.

He is one of the most famous film critics in Hong Kong and currently works at the South China Daily.

"Thank you all for coming to watch the movie. I watched it just now and I can see that some people like this movie and some don't.

He looked at He Jin.

If you shoot a commercial movie that shouts noble slogans about art, it will make you look like a human being.

He clearly felt that these film critics were not interested in Fast 3.

In the first row of the theater, He Jin was watching the movie while also paying attention to the faces of the film critics.

The depth of each character in the film is obviously much worse than in the previous two films.

This is a typical commercial popcorn movie.

The reason why many colleagues in Xiangjiang are engaged in this industry is basically to make a living.

If you want to be artistic about movies, you have to give up the box office.

After living in Xiangjiang for so many years, he knew these film critics very well. He knew that he was going to be criticized, so he simply asked them to be merciful.

Therefore, even though he knew that the critics were not satisfied with the movie, He Jin was satisfied.

He is not well-known as an actor, but as a film critic, he is very famous.

Even veteran superstar Jackie Chan's income can't compare with him. It would be too pretentious to say he has no money.

Looking at the foreigners in the audience, He Jin was a little surprised.

Just watch Wong Kar-wai. Do you think his movies have no artistic quality?

For one hundred minutes, except for the relaxation period, racing, gunfights and explosions have always been the theme of the movie.

"It's beautiful! I must let Ah Chun come and see it when I get back."

These words resonated with many people. Indeed, He Jin is a billionaire. In the celebrity income rankings in the past two years, he was not the first one that time.

He knows that his pursuit is money, so his current movies will mainly be commercial movies.

“Art comes from money!”

Looking around, most of the audience were very interested in the movie. They were eating popcorn, staring at the screen, and occasionally discussing a few words excitedly.

What He Jin said was mainly addressed to film critics.

Graduated from the University of Southern California in 1980 with a Master of Fine Arts degree.

"Speed ​​3 is so bad that famous film critics denounced it"

This made Han Sanping interested, and he also wanted to hear He Jin's thoughts on this issue.

This can be roughly seen from the expressions of the film critics in the audience.

"Paul Fang angrily complains about He Jin trying to make money"

For art? Or for money?”

Some reporters have even mentally drafted tomorrow's news.

In fact, it is not neither fish nor fowl, there are actually very few people in the film industry who truly pursue art.

Why do you yell at me in person? This is big news.

He Jin is not a fan of art films, which is the unanimous recognition of He Jin among his peers.

Graduated from BROWN University in the United States in 1976 with a bachelor's degree.

With the last gunshot, the villain was killed, several protagonists left, and the movie came to an end.

"You mean art isn't as good as money?"

The plot of his version of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is much less deep than the previous two films and the previous life.

"He, I'm very disappointed. This movie of yours is really inferior compared to the previous two. I really don't understand why you made such a movie.

But none of this will be now.

He Jin said with a cracked smile.

Someone stood up and said.

Someone defended He Jin.

Under the stage, a foreigner stood up.

"If you ask me, this guy is obsessed with money. You still say that he is a leader of the young generation. If you ask me, if you ask me, he is indeed a leader in music, but in terms of movies, he is still far behind."

I have been talking for a long time about what it means to enjoy applause. Isn’t it because I am afraid that art films will be thrown into the street and lose money!

After looking at this person, He Jin said seriously: "I am a person who knows how to manage money. I will not use the money from my record company to the film and television company. They are two companies, and I have to consider the employees below.

If we take a detailed look at the films in film history, we can hardly find a few that are both literary and artistic and have high box office.

In addition to being a film critic, Paul Fang also often appears in guest films, the most famous of which is the police captain in "Fight Back to School 2".

He Jin's answer was unsatisfactory, but Fang Paulo didn't intend to dig deeper. He is a person who really likes movies. The reason why he criticized it just now was mainly because his expectations for Speed ​​​​3 were too high. Now it has not met expectations, so he got up.

say.

"Mr. Paul will see it, and he will not disappoint you when the time comes!"

Seeing Paul Fang sit down, He Jin smiled and nodded. He was really afraid that this guy would continue to fight.

If the fight continues, the impact on him will not be very good.

Although Fang Paulo's words just now have already had a bad impact, he really doesn't want to let this impact expand.
