431. Chapter 431 - Scene 431
Li Xiaole saw that the two of them were both nervous and expectant, and pretended to be calm. She felt funny in her heart. After thinking for a while, she nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's have fun." Then she stood up and walked to the Aleflex 535b camera, and gently fiddled with the frame rate regulator.
"You have always wanted to learn the method of director Xie Jin's changeable shooting. I'll do it for you to show you again. This is the last time before going to the United States. Cherish it."
Although anyone with discerning eyes knows that this kind of technology is absolutely impossible to learn even if you watch it a hundred times, when you look at Li Xiaole's superb technology and fiddle with the frame rate regulator and listening to the high-frequency "Kala" gear adjustment sound, Ning Hao still couldn't help but hold his chin with both hands and sighed with a dull look:
"When you are on the same crew as Director Li, every time you hear your hands making such sounds, I feel it is wonderful, but now it suddenly seems to sound ugly..."
"What's the use of just changing shapes? This movie is a delicate expression of emotions." Wei Desheng narrowed his eyes and drank a sip of wine. Although he was conquered by Li Xiaole's superb skills again, he did not think he had no intention of retreating.
"It is probably my strength in this movie than emotional expression." Li Xiaole stopped, lowered his head and wiped the camera and smiled.
"Let's watch it at the end of the year. The movie was not made by mouth, right?" Wei Desheng said disapprovingly.
"You fight for your relationship, I rely on the whole. Let's see the end of the year." Ning Hao looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs, but a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In September (Online, Dada Dada, the latest issue of Time magazine's Asian version was put on the shelves, and the front page suddenly appeared interviews by Li Xiaole, Wei Desheng, and Ning Hao: "Li Fengmao threatened that he is the best director on earth! The next work will sweep the Asian film industry."
If it is a small newspaper in the mainland or Taiwan, this kind of gossip news will just disappear instantly like throwing a stone into the sea. But you must know that this is the American Times magazine! The most influential magazine in the world.
In the film industry, directors, producers, actors and boastful excitement happens from time to time. These arrogant remarks usually originate from exclusive interviews, or reporters suddenly ask questions and blurt out by interviewees. The most common saying is that reporters use traps to ask questions: "Director xx (actor), who do you think is the best director (actor) in China?", "I think I am..." This format appears.
Generally, when a press conference picks an actor and is talking about a topic that interests him, he suddenly changes his subject and asks this question. Many straightforward actors and directors will be caught, such as the famous mainland actress Liu Xiaoqing was cheated by reporters during an interview.
Of course, the parties involved in this kind of thing will never admit that they are wrong, because it will make the public more disgusted. They generally have to have the courage to admit it. In this way, some viewers will appreciate this straightforward personality.
But now Li Xiaole directly moved the title of the best director in the world to himself, which seems too arrogant. Although he clearly said that he is the best director in the world "under thirty years old", after the media deliberately cut off the head and tail, he became "Li Fengmao claims to be the best director in the world", and at the same time declared that "Ning Hao is the best director in the mainland" and "Wei Desheng is the best director in Taiwan"
This made me poke a hornet's nest with me.
"Haha! This guy is crazy, and all the fans of other directors will scold him to death!!" Those who want to see Li Xiaole's unlucky, such as Wang Qun, are ecstatic when they see this news. Li Cengkuan's remarks have always been unexpected, but this time the degree of madness is far beyond everyone's expectations. Are you the best director in the world? Your two deputy directors are the best in the mainland and Taiwan. As long as you join the Black Pearl Company, you will be "best". It's so ridiculous!
As expected, those counterattacks that supported other directors and critics came soon. The newspapers did not have as fast as they were, but now there are blogs, Weibo, and multiple critics immediately mocked and criticized Li Fengkuan on various forums, blogs, and Weibo; and online media also followed up on reports.
"I saw a hysterical director who was doing poor commercial hype for his work that made quick money." Zhou Huanghun, a well-known blog critic, mocked him in a tone. He has always relied on Li Xiaole's topic to increase the browsing rate of his personal blog. He has been ridiculed by netizens countless times because Li Xiaole was ridiculed by netizens this time, so he will naturally not be polite:
"I am really sad to see that Li Xiaole, who was once modest and low-key, really turned into a madman. The vulgar and merciless Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles have been transformed successfully. Why did Li Xiaole make these words? This is his hype! For the preliminary promotion of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", he must be worried about the box office prospects of this poor work that was filmed in a hurry, otherwise he would never make such crazy remarks."
Zhou Huanghun's blog Li analyzed that the publicity strategy of Hong Kong and Taiwan is that a movie is not afraid of scandals or scandals, but is afraid of no news or attention! Now that movie fans think that propaganda methods have always emerged one after another, Li Xiaole, who has never been rehearsed, suddenly fell into depravity and began to use this kind of media without any technical content to provoke a war of words.
Li Xiaole is obviously hyping because he knew that the Three Black Pearl Musketeers took action at the end of the year, but when they faced them, Chen Kaige accumulated a lot of strength and released the masterpiece of poetry history, and Feng Xiaogang's tear-jerking war film "Assembly" that regrouped. Compared with "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", he has completely lost the subject matter.
"I think Li Xiaole must have laughed to death." Feng Xiaogang, the famous director, is indeed a supporter of the unwavering Li Crazy. In the interview, he started a verbal war with the criticism of the Li faction:
"This is called hype? Then I ask you, have you watched the end of the TV series with "World Cup Prediction", have seen the photos of naked men before the release of "Soldier Assault", have you seen Jiangsu Taiwan already started to promote the program of the same name before the release of "If You Are the One"? Have you ever been promoting these promotional techniques?..."
Feng Xiaogang said in a very rude tone: "Those who say that Li Xiaole used this to hype are just brains. In the original version of Time magazine, Li Xiaole clearly said that he is the best director under the age of 30. Is this wrong? Are you looking for a director under the age of 30 and better than him? When the media incites him to hype, you will scold him for hype. Just use your brain to think about it and know what's going on?"
Whether it is true or false, the media that make a fuss about this article have no intention of investigating it. They need this topic of Li Cengkuan’s arrogant, but they just reprinted the words out of context and commented in the air: "Li Cengkuan is indeed the number one director in the Chinese film industry. Judging from the interview, he looks down on other Asian colleagues at all. He plans to log in to the United States next year, and seems to have no concern for the Chinese market at all."
"Li Xiaole is obviously just stubborn. He only has two months to shoot this movie, so how can he make a good thing?" Zhang Weiping, who had previously conducted hostile marketing with Li Xiaole, also made his own comment in an interview. He didn't care whether Li Xiaole was really talking wildly. He just wanted Li Xiaole, who is at the forefront, to scold him a few more words and then lower the marketing efforts, so as to increase the popularity of Zhang Yimou's "Riding a Thousand Miles" at the end of the year.
"In this circle, people will change. Li Xiaole must not know his own changes. He may have become an arrogant dictatorial artist. In his heart, all other directors are not as strong as him. But this is understandable. It is normal for so many movies to succeed in box office. Fortunately, he has no Golden Bear or the Golden Palme d'Or. Otherwise, he wouldn't take anyone seriously."
Zhang Weiping also said excitedly: "Directors of pure commercial films like this should not be too high. Li Xiaole's current mentality may be more or less the result of media praise. You should care more about Chinese art films, such as Yimou's "Riding a Thousand Miles" this time. Performing artists like Ken Takakura should be praised by people in our circle, rather than focusing on the topic of this child."
"Why can't Li Xiaole say that he is the best director?" After a few days of escalation, Jiang Wen, who was wearing a pair of pants with Li Xiaole, finally couldn't help but join the media debate. He accepted an interview with Sohu reporters and published an article on the Internet to express his attitude:
"Art is subjective. Every artist is a person living in his own world. Even those who sell sesame cakes on the street will think that their sesame cakes are the best in the world. Why can't Li Xiaole say that he is the best director? I'll ask you a question. Who dares to say that his mother is not the best cooked food in the world? Is this also arrogant? Should this be criticized?
What's more, Li Xiaole made "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Sedek Barrel". Spielberg and George Lucas are not as capable as him at his age? Why can a group of fucking foreigners be the best director, but Chinese people can't be the best director. I think Li Xiaole is not just the best director under the age of 30. If you wait another year, he will be the best director under the age of 50 in the world."
"Is Li Xiaole's movie good? How good is his directorial level? It's not up to you, but the audience is asking him to say that his two movies have a box office of over 100 million US dollars. Can you ask, where are the 24-year-old directors who have two works worth over 100 million US dollars? Is he the best director of the same age in the world?"
Jiang Wen's article made people in the circle feel what it means to be in love. It is obviously something that everyone knows. Director Jiang is able to come back, and he almost says the black ones to white ones:
Li Xiaole saw that the two of them were both nervous and expectant, and pretended to be calm. She felt funny in her heart. After thinking for a while, she nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's have fun."
