In later generations, many actors transformed into directors...

Including those who sell books, sing songs, and even hosts have transformed into directors...

Of course, the quality of the films they made was uneven, some were very good. You were like Teacher Chen, and your first work "Beijing Love Story" was quite decent, and you won 400 million yuan in box office. Some were like Teacher Guo Tao, who made a "Desire Game", which was a mess...

Chen Mengxi and other incomparable screenwriters gathered together to analyze and concluded that the key to this matter is that China lacks a commercial film director who can hold the box office.

Also, most of the famous directors in the mainland are not willing to make commercial films...

Since it is a risk to invite anyone, it would be better to invite someone with a little fame, which can at least guarantee a part of the box office.

Famous writers and actors all bring their own traffic, and the capital will be more happy to be a director!

As it turns out, professional people should do professional things.

Wen Muye, a movie "I'm Not a God of Medicine" earned 3.1 billion yuan in box office...

It is a good thing to embrace all rivers.

But it should not be the norm.

The director used by Chen Mengxi can at least shoot without the support of a professional team!

A drama is equipped with a good producer, a good editor, and a good executive director. What do you want to do if you do?

...

Yang Xiaomi left with all her worries, and the crew had to continue filming.

It's not too slow, according to the shooting schedule...

No matter how fast it is, it will take one month!

This is a movie!

Chen Mengxi's performance is not very good, but he has completed the task well - the role of the person.

The incident in "Inception" slowly cools down...

After all, in the entertainment industry, there are many things every day, scandals and scandals are always the most concerned!

For example, Ng Junru revealed on the show that many actresses have philatelics...

Zhou Jie lost his car after crashing and Sun Yue even got stuck in the car formation gate...

Damn, the entertainment industry, no, basketball players are really high-risk professions, and they can be secretly photographed when playing in a car array!

This reminded Chen Mengxi that even at home, he would have to pull the curtains on!

In the past half month, Chen Mengxi has been obsessed with lifting iron, and the two boxes of condoms have not been used up. You know, his highest record is that he has used up a whole box in one night!

Ahem...

It’s good that no one pays attention to it, it’s great to be happy to film!

Then, on April 12, the 62nd Cannes Film Festival released the nomination list...

A total of 21 movies were shortlisted for the main competition unit, including "Making Woodstock" by Li Mida, and "Inglourious Bastard" by Quentin Tarantino...

Chinese-language films, a total of three directors, Johnnie To's "Revenge", Cai Mingliang's "Face", Lou Ye's "The Night of the Spring Breeze"...

It can be called a great victory!

This is not the point, the point is "Manchester  by  the  Sea", director Chen Mengxi...

When I became a director for the first time, I was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival?

What awesome person is this?

Well, the company’s official website says: "Manchester by the Sea" is director Chen Mengxi's first work. During the filming, the film received invitations from the three major film festivals of Berlin, Cannes and Venice. In the end, the producer and director decided to premiere the film in Cannes, representing respect for the movie temple!

This is true, you can calculate it yourself. If you dig out a bunch of masters and Cannes' direct works, how many art movies are left worth watching every year?

"Manchester by the Sea" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, his positioning from the beginning was to win the award!

The artistry is definitely not bad!

The topic is still full of topics. This kind of movie is something you need to grab when you start a project!

Foreigners may not know much about "Manchester by the Sea", but domestic circles have known it from the beginning - this movie was shot by Chen Mengxi and slapped Wang Jiawei in the face...

Didn’t you say I don’t understand movies?

Then I will make one!

...

"China Film Report" should be the oldest movie information column in China, and the movie channel is broadcast every night at 6 pm.

Generally, if they want to interview which crew they can enter as long as they sign up for their names.

"Those Years" is no exception...

Yang Qing was staring at the surveillance screen, and Han Yan ran over: "Brother, the person from "Chinese Film Report" is here!"

"…Oh, let's go and receive it?"

"Well, you go first, I'll talk to the producer..."

Who is the producer? Of course it is Chen Mengxi!

By the way, Han Yan serves as the deputy director of "Those Years", which is equivalent to a bigger venue, and he has to take care of everything...

He himself enjoyed it and was familiar with every step of filming!

Notifying Chen Mengxi from the "Chinese Film Report" people to visit the set. Chen Mengxi nodded, then called Liu Yifei and Shu Chang: "You two go over and take a look..."

"Are we going to change our clothes?"

"No, you guys look pretty good like this!"

The host is Yao Miao, a very intellectual beauty...

I was chatting with Yang Qing about "Those Years": "This movie was made for students born in the 1980s and 1990s..."

"I chatted with Mengxi. He said that although "Sunny Days" is very good, it was the sunshine of the 60s and 70s. The market needed a youth film to be sent to the post-80s and 90s. Then he showed it to me. I only read one sentence from the outline and immediately took it..."

"Oh, what's the sentence?"

"He wrote 'The pain of youth is that girls are always more mature than boys of the same age.'. I only completed the filming of "Crazy Lottery" at that time. I didn't expect to film the movie so quickly... but I was afraid that he would hand it over to someone else..."

Chen Mengxi listened to him bragging, and thought this guy was OK. He started to lighten up and said with great slightness, not nervous at all. He didn't know how to show off like Ning Hao. When he asked him about box office expectations, he said in a very arrogant tone, "I'm just a chef. After cooking, I can sell it or not, that's the store manager's business."

Paralysis, if you cook the food well enough, how could the store manager not be able to sell it?

Is it better to be in short supply?

"Hey, Mengxi is here, our fairy sister and silly girl are here, you can go and interview him!"

The camera immediately aimed at the trio watching the fun. The three of them were wearing school uniforms, and the sun shone at the station...

What a bunch of golden boys and jade girls!

Yao Miao's eyes lit up and walked over. The reason why he chose to visit "Those Years" today is that in addition to "visiting the set", the most important thing is to ask "Manchester by the Sea"...

"Mengxi, Yifei, Shu Chang, Hello, this is "China Film Report". Come and say hello to everyone..."

Chen Mengxi was a little confused. He hadn't experienced such an actor's life yet, so who did he say hello to?

Then he saw Liu Yifei skillfully waving his hands at the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Liu Yifei. I play Shen Jiayi in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years";"

Shu Chang also acted the same way. Chen Mengxi suppressed his shame and waved his hand with a warm smile on his face: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Mengxi, and the role I played in "Those Years" is also Chen Mengxi..."
Chapter completed!
