The Director's Road of Airflow

After shooting a movie, when it is officially released, there are almost no directors who don't care about the audience's evaluation.As a creator, Lu Ming is painful when he sees some accusations, even if he is mentally prepared.The online ratings dropped again and again, but the box office easily exceeded [-] million. This may be the result of the combined effect of marketing and traffic economy.

Lu Ming found a free night, poured himself a glass of whiskey, added ice cubes, sat quietly on the sofa in his living room, turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a desk lamp with a light yellow light, Then start reading what viewers are saying about this movie on the Internet.

[You can’t say that this is a bad movie. Although the acting skills of the male and female protagonists are not flattering, and the story wastes a lot of ink in unnecessary places, there are indeed a few scenes that moved me. For example, the heroine recalled that she was alone. On the school roof, seeing the students coming and going downstairs, it feels like someone is playing a game of chess, and the people walking are the chess pieces being swung.This idea hit me right, but only 120 minutes out of the 5 minutes of the whole movie touched me. For the rest of the time, I was wondering why I chose to watch a profound and obscure literary film with my girlfriends on New Year’s Eve. , I thought we would watch the youth campus love story, understand? 】

Lu Ming also knew the psychological expectations of the audience, and he also thought about how to make a good youth campus movie.Before the official shooting of "Snowman", Lu Ming actually did some preparatory work and thought about how to make a good youth film.Even if there were no two leading actors with bad acting skills, Lu Ming didn't know what the romance film he made would be like.

"Don't Tell Mom" ​​is Lu Ming's first complete film that he completed independently. During the filming process, Lu Ming did not set too many restrictions on himself, but let go of bold experiments. This can be said to be a test of his own talent.

Film is a young art form, but it has a history of more than 100 years, but it is still an art that tests talent.There is no course that can really teach you how to be a director. Lu Ming learned a lot of film theory knowledge and film shooting skills during his three years at NYU. A lot of knowledge is related to drama and photography, which are very fixed. The content summarized by the predecessors, they filled Lu Ming's initial rational understanding of the movie.

But he didn't learn these lessons to make movies.

There are also many people who say that directors must have life experience and be able to observe life. Lu Ming agrees with this point of view. Indeed, you have to be moved by some scenes and fragments in life before you suddenly have creative inspiration, but movies are not entirely correct. The repetition of real scenes, every director always wants to solve some problems when making movies.

Whether it's "Don't Tell Mom" ​​or "The Snowman", "parent-child relationship" has been discussed as an important topic in Lu Ming's works, but Lu Ming stayed at home quietly on this deserted night. Have the courage to admit it: This is not what I meant to say.

Lu Ming's native family has also brought him a lot of trouble, but this is not what he really wants to express through movies at this stage. He chose this topic only because "parent-child relationship" is a topic that has been repeatedly discussed. Lu Ming Knowing how to handle the dramatic conflicts of this topic, there are some conflicts about it, and this subject matter is particularly suitable for applying some of the drama theories he has learned. He is confident that he can win the favor of the audience through the practice of skills and the scheduling of some scenes .

Lu Ming chose this topic because he was sure to make a good movie about this subject. Whether it was used as a graduation project, or using this conflict as the main line to save a bad movie, he did it because he felt that it was a good movie. within his ability.

But this is not the original intention of Lu Ming to choose to be a director.At the age of 23, Lu Ming abandoned his status as an accomplished actor and turned to study abroad. The reasons behind this are very complicated, and he can't explain it. One reason may have been mentioned by some marketing accounts. Fleeing from the suffocating tension, he no longer wants to be the center of the topic.

After officially studying film, Lu Ming spent a lot of time thinking about being a director and making movies one by one. Is this a career that he is willing to devote his life to until he grows old?Do you want to be a director, or do you think it feels good to be a successful director, so come and see if you can do it?

Lu Ming kept thinking, but he didn't have an answer for the time being. It was only during the filming window, and these questions came back to his head.

Many netizens accused Lu Ming of playing tricks and making a simple movie so complicated that people couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

[I'm curious about what the major film academies teach their students?Why do every young director who has graduated from a major give the impression that they don't want to speak well at all, and only want to pursue some expressions that they think are very artistic, leaving the audience confused?I really don't understand the young directors who have emerged in recent years without exception. 】

【If possible, I really want to ask Lu Ming: What exactly do you want to say?I have also watched many literary films. I can get the hazy beauty of the lens and the ingenuity of scene transitions. I can also appreciate the beauty of many niche films.But after watching this movie, I just feel very inexplicable. What do you want to say?It is very fragmented, many of your shots are beautiful, but does it make sense?If you want to express something very mysterious, why use two very young rookie actors, they are obviously incapable of conveying some very secret emotions.It is unrealistic to want to please the market while still being sunny.If you want to be commercialized, you need to be more thorough in commercialization. Don’t add a little bit of everything, but you can’t do everything properly. 】

Lu Ming also saw some different opinions, and some evaluations actually exceeded his expectations.

On Douban, a middle-aged man in his 40s said he liked the movie very much.

[The theme of this movie has nothing to do with childhood, but it reminds me of my childhood everywhere, those fragments that appear abruptly in the movie, just like my childhood memories without beginning and end flashing suddenly.I don't know how to say it clearly, I'm an electrical engineering student, I've been away from literature, art, etc. for a long time, but I love this movie, I am very happy to watch it with my children on the first day of the new year This movie, although everyone around me complained about it, I really enjoyed it. I have also heard the name "Lu Ming" for many years. After watching this movie, I have a good impression of him. I may be the only one. Everything I see on the Internet is sprayed. 】

The abuse from He Qiran's fans that Guo Da had announced earlier was not absent.

During the film's release, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, fans of He Qiran's fan circle warned loose fans not to scold the film studio or director on the Internet, and not to let others take advantage of it and make use of it, which will affect He Qiran's future development in the film industry.

[Movies are all about circles, everyone knows this.As a newcomer in film, you don't have much right to speak, but you are still a newcomer, you have to think about him and don't harm him.The film crew used him as a gimmick and made a show in the feature film. I was also very angry, but there was nothing I could do.No matter what, he is still the male lead, and the box office of this movie is his actual performance. 】

[Although there are not many roles, Ran Ranzi is almost the existence of Bai Yueguang in this movie. Many people around me watched the movie and came to me to praise him. , that's all we can do.Don't scold the director. When the time comes to post a screenshot of the marketing account on Weibo, it will still be Aranzi who gets stepped on.Who made him a "national brother"?The senior fans are very fierce, and now passers-by have a filter of the times for him. In a real fight, we have no advantage at all. 】

Under the guidance of big fans, He Qiran's fans did not publicly scold Lu Ming on the Internet, but they are indispensable in Lu Ming's private messages. Various personal attacks are not uncommon, but Lu Ming didn't see it.

Since his debut at the age of 15, he seldom reads private messages. Except when he was depressed, he selectively read some sincere messages from fans to encourage him.

However, the attitude of He Qiran's fans changed 5 degrees after "Snowman" was nominated for the best film selection of the Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award in May.

The Shanghai International Film Festival is the only international A-category film award in China. Although the Golden Goblet Award is not as highly recognized as the Three Gold Awards, it is still a professional award and has a certain amount of gold. The works starring idols are nominated for the best film, which is still worth it Blow it.

The wormwoods also regained their stage after three years of silence.

Although Lu Ming has been back to China for almost a year before, and there are two film works to meet domestic audiences, but they just don’t have the real feeling, and they don’t have the enthusiasm for star chasing. Continue to focus on your current idol.

But this time was different. After three years, Lu Ming was going to walk the red carpet again.Whether you are attending an event as an actor or as a director, if you want to walk on the red carpet, you must be more beautiful, and if you want to be more beautiful, you will step on it.Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

An actor walking on the red carpet with a work is like an idol returning to the stage with a new song, which is what fans are most looking forward to.Although Lu Ming is no longer an actor, he still has a name among the post-00s. The male stars who competed with him at the same time are now in their prime. 26 or 7 years old is the age when male stars produce works. Very bloody.

In the past two years, the state has vigorously supported the development of the Shanghai International Film Festival, and strived to increase its attention and gold content, so that it can become one of the A-lists of international A-category film festivals other than the three major European film festivals, expand its influence, and help the development of my country's film industry.Therefore, the Shanghai International Film Festival Awards Ceremony is full of stars. Named actors in the entertainment industry and big and small traffic will attend. Fans are also proud to be able to attend such events. They feel that although their idols have no works yet, they are considered officially recognized , work hard, there is a lot to do.

Thinking of this, Ai Cao is even more refreshing. Lu Ming not only has a work, but also as a director, his work was shortlisted for the best film. Regardless of whether he won the award in the end, he was far ahead of the other 00 students who competed in the same period. This is simply the perfect face-slap scene that career fans think about day and night. Ai Cao is ready to face her old opponent head-on.

The experience of fan chasing stars mainly depends on whether idols can't live up to expectations. Becoming a Lu Ming fan can be said to be used to the ups and downs of life. The film flopped, but turned around with two works against the wind, and was nominated for Golden Rooster Best Actor.Fans thought that they would be able to widen the gap with other 00 students from then on, and ran all the way on the road to becoming an actor, but Lu Ming quit the circle to study abroad.

Waiting and waiting, I finally returned home after graduating with a master's degree. One of the two films has a good reputation, and the other can hit the box office with mixed reviews. It stands to reason that I should be proud, but because Lu Ming has never appeared in the public eye, The breath came out, and it was not smooth.

Finally, finally, Lu Ming was going to walk the red carpet again, which was finally something they were looking forward to.

The fact that Lu Ming wanted to return to the big stage of domestic entertainment also sparked discussions on the forum.

[Laughing dead, top class, top class, right?Why is Lu Ming so hot?This bloody physique is really not something everyone can have, good guy, when he announced that he was going to walk on the red carpet, the Douban group I joined was all over the place.No, he has transformed into a director, how can fans still fight? 】

[Because hate lasts longer than love, some people just don't like Lu Ming, a shortlisted news, they have opened a few posts to step on Lu Ming?I still read the brainwashing bag from 800 years ago, I am really speechless, my God, friends, look at the calendar, it is 2027, why are you still talking about 2015?I really have question marks all over my face. 】

【what to do?I'm not a fan of any of them either. My idol is just an idiot. I don't even have the qualifications to participate in this event. I'm so excited right now. Can you come soon on June 6?Really can't wait to see the drama.Thinking about it, I feel that Ai Cao must be very happy, this is too cool in the entertainment industry.Even the movie starring Idol is nominated for the best picture is also very cool, it is actually the work of the director of Idol, this is the legendary idol, right?I really want to see Lu Ming, Zheng Boyi, and Fang Hongwen on the same stage. It turns out that their fans have been fighting for three years. I wonder what will happen this time?Judging from the live broadcast at the beginning of the year, Lu Ming is in a better state than them. He doesn't have the problem of getting gills or getting greasy at all, but he has more abstinence and elite temperament! 】

[You also know that it is 2027?Then why is wormwood still pretending to be a passerby?Passers-by?Are you from China?You still have to step on your ex-colleagues, don't you feel pitiful?Wormwood hasn’t seen idols in the past few years and can still hold on to her fans. Is it because of her hatred for her former colleagues?After chasing stars to this point, I am speechless. 】

[Lemon essence, is it lemon essence?You smell sour after a long distance, don’t be sour, no matter how sour you are, your idol can’t catch up with us, a cutting-edge director who graduated from Nortel with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from NYU. His debut work on Douban scored 8.3, and his first film returned to China with a box office of 7 million. ? 】
