This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 660 Alive



what happened?

Netizens felt a little confused.

Xu Nan actually said that he wanted to make a literary film? ? ?

That's an art film.

Art films are art films that use artistic shooting techniques and actors' artistic performances to make the audience deeply feel the beautiful human emotions and arouse emotional resonance.

This type of film mainly focuses on the depiction of life, the discussion of human nature, and the presentation of social issues.

This is a completely different type of film from commercial films, paying more attention to artistic expression and profound connotation.

Xu Nan said he wanted to make a literary film.

The question is, can he take pictures?

Of course, many directors can make literary films.

However, most of the literary films made by directors are just frivolous things, and may not even be called movies.

A true literary film is a film rich in artistic value and profound connotation. At the very least, it must make people's hearts tremble.

Xu Nan is one of the few great commercial film directors in China. He said that if he wants to make literary films, the quality must at least be above the standard, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.

If an incomprehensible trash movie is made, it will definitely attract overwhelming ridicule.

"What are Xu Nan thinking? Why do you have to make a literary film?"

"It's normal. Many directors have made artistic films. For example, the well-known directors Chen Pengfei and Zhang Yange first became famous through artistic films. They both later transformed into commercial film directors."

"But the problem is that he is a commercial film director. Why not make good commercial films and make money? Why not make so-called artistic films?"

"I don't really like watching art films."

"I don't really like it either."

"Hey, as a director, Xu Nan wants to make a literary film. Isn't it normal? Many directors like to make literary films to express their values. For example, Chen Pengfei is currently making a literary film. It is said that it will be used for development. Award, it’s normal for Xu Nan to make literary films.”

"Indeed, many directors believe that artistic films are real movies. Xu Nan is also a director, so he may want to pursue something more advanced."

"It's a pity. I still prefer to watch commercial movies."

"Most people like to watch commercial films, but there are also some audiences who like to watch artistic films."

Netizens are a bit sorry for Xu Nan's filming of artistic films.

Most netizens have no prejudice against artistic films, and even think that artistic films are an important form of expression in movies.

But if you ask them to watch a bitter and dull literary film, most people will refuse.

Therefore, it is a pity that Xu Nan makes literary films, which means that there will be one less outstanding commercial blockbuster for them to watch in the future.

Of course, ordinary netizens just feel a little sorry.

Strictly speaking, what kind of movies Xu Nan makes has little to do with them.

Xu Nan's fans, on the other hand, reacted fiercely.

"Xu Nan is so ready to make some kind of literary film."

"Yeah, what's so good about artistic films? What he's best at is special effects blockbusters."

"Wrong. What he is best at is copycat movies."

"I have always wanted Xu Nan to return to the right path of copycat movies, but I didn't expect that he would go further and further down the evil path."

"I would rather Xu Nan continue to make special effects blockbusters than make art films."

"Maybe he was brainwashed by some people in the film industry. As you know, there are many literary youths in the film industry."

"It's such a pity that Xu Nan's talent is completely wasted when he makes literary films. Copycat movies are his destiny."

"I say enough is enough for you people. Although Xu Nan is very profitable making movies, he has never won an award so far, so it is normal to make literary films to compete for awards. Almost every major director has done this. This is a good thing for Xu Nan, what are you talking about?"

"Yes, other directors at least have one heavyweight award around them, but Xu Nan, as a famous director, has no awards at all. He is so naked and embarrassed, so he wants to win an award for making a literary film. Of course, we should also support him."

Xu Nan has many fans, and most of them are very supportive of his actions.

In the field of box office, Xu Nan is unparalleled in the country and can be said to have no rivals.

But when it comes to awards, Xu Nan falls far behind in all aspects.

This is also something that many fans of Xu Nan's career have always felt was a pity.

Now Xu Nan is determined to make a literary film to compete for awards. They think this is good.

When the circle heard the news, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"Have you heard that Xu Nan said he wants to make a literary film?"

"Can he take pictures?"

"He is also a great director after all, so there should be no problem in making a literary film."

"The problem is huge. What literary and artistic films pursue is connotation and profundity, not flashiness and superficiality. Damn Xu Nan can make a qualified literary and artistic film."

I heard that Xu Nan was going to make a literary film, and people in the industry thought it was outrageous.

It's like being crowned like a monkey.

The reason why this is so is simple.

In the film industry, artistic films have always had a higher status than commercial films.

Some directors even go so far as to believe that only literary and artistic films can be considered real movies, and commercial films that are designed to please the audience cannot be called movies at all.

Although it is more difficult to get audiences to spend money to watch a movie than to get them to say good things, this does not prevent insiders from placing artistic films in a higher position than commercial films.

Because of art.

The despise chain within the industry is also that directors of artistic films are higher than directors of commercial films.

This can be seen from the fact that many successful actors like to participate in literary films to compete for awards.

Although Xu Nan has been very successful in the field of commercial films, this does not prevent many conservative people in the industry from despising him for not understanding art.

In addition, Xu Nan was famous for his bad movies in the beginning, so major awards in the industry have been consciously excluding him.

The mainstream circles have never accepted him.

I finally tried to accept him once, but later rejected Xu Nan because he made bad movies.

Xu Nan wants to make a literary film, which many people think is a sign that he is trying to enter the mainstream circle.

This made many conservative people in the circle feel disgusted.

"If Xu Nan wants to shoot, let him. Anyway, the law never stipulates that others are not allowed to make literary films."

"I'd like to see what he can photograph."

"It's not that easy to make a literary film. Most of the so-called literary films in the industry are superficial and incomprehensible. It's not that easy for Xu Nan to make a qualified literary film."

"People are already planning to film it, and they won't change it even if you say a few words."

"Just watch."

Many people in the circle have a mentality of watching the excitement.

They wanted to know the quality of Xu Nan's artistic films.

If the quality is good, forget it. If the quality is poor, don't blame them for complaining.

Even good quality will be sprayed.

Because art is subjective, if we say it is good, then it is good. If you say it is not good, it means you don’t understand art.

Just like the fashion industry, although there are a lot of strange people in it, this does not prevent some people from saying that this is fashion.

Literary film is a very niche circle, and the right to speak is in the hands of a very small group of people.

Whether a literary film is excellent or not is mainly defined by a small group of people.

Unless your movie is of such high quality that most people will say yes to it.

But how is that possible.

Therefore, many people wanted to watch the excitement, and some people even planned to take this opportunity to let Xu Nan know what art is.

We don’t know what the box office does, but we have the final say on what art is.

Xu Nantong chose to ignore various comments from the outside world.

In fact, making a literary film is an idea he has always had, and it is not an impulsive decision made after a sudden rush of thought.

He has even been preparing for this a long time ago, and the script has been written long ago.

There was no particular reason, he just wanted to take pictures.

Because he felt that it was a pity that the world did not have this movie.

The artistic film he is going to make is "Alive".

"Alive".

It tells the story of Fugui, a young man from a wealthy family whose family fell into ruin due to bad gambling, and then struggled to survive. Over the decades, he occasionally had small blessings, but bad luck always haunted him. Amidst the bad luck, Fugui kept trying to survive. , reflects the insignificance and helplessness of individuals under the times and destiny.

This film is the highest-rated domestic film on Douban. It has won the Cannes Jury Prize, Best Actor, and Humanity Awards.

Some people have said that this is the greatest movie in China.

Xu Nan watched this movie when he was very young and was deeply shocked. He can never forget the depressing feeling.

This was his favorite movie. When he found that the world didn't have it, he decided to make this movie so that the world's audiences could appreciate it.

I didn’t take pictures before because Xu Nan was never confident enough to take good pictures.

But after so many years of hard work, he believed that his directing skills were enough to grasp this movie and be able to make it well.

So he decided to make the movie.

The movie "Alive" is undoubtedly a classic among classics and cannot be neglected in all aspects.

For this movie, Xu Nan hopes to get the best.

There is nothing to say about the preparation of the movie. There is a group of veterans in Summit Film and Television, all of whom Xu Nan is used to. They can easily understand his intentions and satisfy Xu Nan in every aspect.

Relatively speaking, the casting of the movie is more important.

The reason is simple. This movie is a literary film, and it is a classic literary film.

The protagonist of such a movie must not only have a consistent image, but also must have good acting skills, and must not hold back the movie.

This is Xu Nan's favorite movie. If it fails to achieve its best due to some mistakes, he will never forgive himself.

This kind of actors who can meet Xu Nan's requirements are still very rare in China, and can even be said to be extremely rare.

It just so happened that Xu Nan knew such a suitable actor.

Qin Hao.

He debuted at the age of fifteen and won the Best Actor Award at the age of sixteen. He is thirty years old this year, about the same age as Uncle Ge when he played Fu Gui.

He is the actor with the best acting skills that Xu Nan has ever seen, and his role as Zhang Dongsheng has left many people with psychological shadow.

There will definitely be no problem for him to play Fugui.

The only problem is that Xu Nan doesn't know if he will take the role.

Qin Hao has been financially free for a long time. He is an actor just out of interest and will only star in scripts that he is interested in.

Xu Nan couldn't guarantee that he would be moved by the script.

Although the movie "Alive" is a classic, he is the only one who knows that no one knows the quality of any movie before it is made and released, even if it has a good script.

I hope I can impress him with sincerity.

With a trace of anxiety, Xu Nan came to Qin Hao's home for the second time.

After meeting, Xu Nan directly handed over the script without being polite.

"Qin Hao, this is the script of my next movie. I hope you will play the leading role."

Qin Hao was not polite and sat directly on the sofa to watch.

He is one of the rare literate people in the industry who can tell whether a script is good or bad.

As he watched, Qin Hao's expression changed.

First there was surprise, then shock, then depression, and finally confusion and emptiness.

The tea on the table began to emit a faint smoke, but soon faded and disappeared.

Xu Nan sat patiently and waited quietly.

This script is very complex, and if you want to read it all, you won't have enough time in just a few hours.

And if you want to understand its profound connotation and the sad fate of the little people under the torrent of the times, as well as what it wants to express, it will take longer.

Three hours passed quickly.

Qin Hao finally finished reading the script. He let out a long sigh and looked confused.

This script was so shocking, like an atomic bomb, it had an extremely strong impact on his soul.

Next, Qin Hao did something Xu Nan didn't expect.

He actually read the script again.

This time, he spent more than five hours reading the script. During the meal, he didn't take his eyes off the script.

Xu Nan came in the afternoon. After Qin Hao read the script for the second time, it was already evening and it was already dark.

His face was full of shock.

"I must play this role."

As if he felt that this was not enough to express his urgency, Qin Hao added another sentence.

"Even if it's free of charge, I will definitely play this role."

This was the first time for Qin Hao to see such a shocking script. He even felt that "Alive" was more shocking than the movie that won him the Best Actor Award for his first debut.

It was a kind of spiritual tremor, as if the whole soul had been baptized.

If he couldn't play this role, he felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Xu Nan smiled.

Although the process is a bit tedious, the results are always good.

"Welcome Teacher Qin to join the crew."

Xu Nan stretched out his hand.

Qin Hao quickly stood up and held Xu Nan's hand.

"It's an honor for me to participate in such a movie. I believe this will be a classic that shocks everyone."

"I really didn't expect that Director Xu you could write such a shocking script."

Because he was too excited, Qin Hao held Xu Nan's hand tightly and talked about various details of the script all night long.

After learning that the movie had confirmed him as an actor, Qin Hao took the initiative.

"I know an actress named Zhang Li. She once won the Best Actress Award and her acting skills are very good. Let her play the role of Fugui's wife Jiazhen."
