"I know everyone's voices are very loud...but I'm really not suitable to play a high school student!"

That's right. Last year, Lao Wang posted a Weibo post saying that Rao Xueman's representative work "Left Ear" has been successfully launched, and the director has also confirmed that he has collected a list of seven actors from the public, including three women and four men.

This Weibo post quickly sparked discussions among many netizens, and in a very short time, tens of thousands of forwardings and comments accumulated.

Netizens have recommended the best candidates for their youth movies, including Liu Yifei, Yang Xiaomi, and Liu Shishi, among which Liu Yifei has the best voice!

That's why Lao Wang sent an invitation to Liu Yifei.

The young lady continued: "Because of age, when I invited me last year, I was already 25... I really can't play a 16-7-year-old high school girl!"

"But Dongyu and Nazha are both suitable!"

"It's better to listen to Mengxi and leave the opportunity to the young actors!"

The reporter asked quickly: "...Mengxi advises you not to answer?"

"He didn't advise me, but just said that you are 25 years old. You should consider playing some roles with a sense of age. Youth films like "Left Ear" should still be played by a little girl!"

"After I became a producer, I thought from the perspective of others and imagined what movies I like to watch when I was an audience. The story is definitely very important. I think the plot and performance are placed at the forefront, and other visual languages ​​can be leaned back. This is my own aesthetic, and I like to watch dramas with strong plots."

"Well, Zhou Dongyu, have you learned anything when you get along with Liu Yifei?"

The little yellow duck thought for a while and replied: "How should we face the bad public opinion on the Internet!"

"Yes, we have a lot of common topics in this regard..."

...

After the first weekend of "Left Ear" had a box office of over 100 million yuan, the fourth day of its release, it caught up with the May Day holiday. On April 29, "Left Ear" had a box office of over 65 million yuan that day!

It shocked the audience directly!

Damn it!

Almost broke the record!

No, is this European-breaking movie that good?

Douban reputation: 6.4 points, just passed the exam...

Comment: The directorial debut of the Fifth Prince is better than the previous youth films, with a good finish, a calm rhythm and a fresh and clean picture. There is no bloody abortion, restrained sensationalism, but it is pretentious.

Of course, there are many negative reviews:

‘There are two words that make people disgusting now: one is youth and the other is emotion.’

‘There is no other movie that can bring a win-win situation between stars and box office at a cheaper cost than Chinese youth films. Why does "Left Ear" need to change this model? Wearing school uniforms and expressing nostalgia, expressing emotions and selling pureness, and ensuring the harvest is youth. The film develops everything in a regular way like common sense known to everyone, and most of the youth idols are like this.’

But it did not prevent its box office from soaring...

On the fifth day of release, the box office exceeded 60 million!

Over 250 million in five days!

"One Scene to the End" and "Lost in Thailand" are just like this...

Is it another movie that has exceeded one billion?

It's so outrageous!

Nowadays, you can get one star as a producer, one star as a director, and a best-selling adaptation to get one billion?

Too nonsense!

But the reality is so nonsense!

In fact, in recent years, with IP adaptation emerging, many actors have ushered in the opportunity to become famous as a transformed director, make money and change their identity.

How to say it, in the wind, pigs without talent can fly.

At the beginning, actors were mostly directors, such as Deng Chao and Buffy Zhao...

They have made great achievements in their original fields, but they are struggling to break through the bottleneck. When the actors are awkward at the age of embarrassing, they are impacted by the market's little beauties. In addition, the audience's tastes are cheaper than fairy tales, fantasy, etc., and they cannot find a suitable script or play a strong role. It is better to be a director yourself and seek breakthroughs.

Not only can you upgrade your identity, but you can also broaden your acting career.

Later, it was really because the studio found them.

Celebrities have natural advantages as directors. They have been working hard for many years, and there is no need to mention their connections and resources.

From the perspective of investors and publishers, the risk of cooperating with celebrity directors is lower than that of supporting new directors. The topics and market appeal caused by the celebrity's own popularity are far stronger than that of a young director.

In a conventional sense, movies are the director's personal works, and often convey the director's thoughts and opinions.

Movies are the way the director expresses the world. What to choose to shoot, how to shoot, and what feedback will be given to the works in the market in the future are all things that the director cares about and needs to control.

More and more film companies no longer have the patience to cultivate new directors, but instead invite celebrities to be directors, ignoring quality and reputation.

Hot money poured into the film market, and whether domestic movies were very lively, problems also arise.

In an interview, Zhang Yi lamented that one of the lowest thresholds in the film market at present is the director. The tactful meaning is that even if you take some money, you can be a director.

Later on, people won’t buy it easily!

Huang Lei, Liang Jiahui...

You have the influence to make a movie, but you can't abuse the audience's trust in you. It's easy to make a movie, but it's very difficult to make a good movie!

...

Shen Mengxi’s daily Cannes day is to hide in a hut and watch movies with a group of people!

The jury members include Nicole Kidman, Christopher Valz, Christian Monge, Niben director Naomi Kawase and Indian actress Schriya Saran…

Shiriya Salan looks exactly in line with Shen Mengxi's aesthetic!

She is the mother in "Arson Killing the God of Heaven", with an amazing figure - the previous picture!

So much so that Shen Mengxi ignored Nicole Kidman and spent most of her time communicating with her about watching movies...

Unfortunately, except for "Adele's Life" and "Flower Beauty" in this year's main competition unit, all other movies are quite healthy!

What have these European directors and artists done?

Director Sándor  Sólyom-Nagy, Director Pasolini, Director Louis Bunuel, Director Just Jack King…

No one has ever succeeded!

(Sándor  Sólyom-Nagy, I really can't find a Chinese translation, his representative work "The Tyrant Karigula")

Fortunately, on the 6th, "Venus in Fur" is here!

It's really a big drama of youth - Director: Roman Polansky.

Shen Mengxi was a little moved...

This movie tells the story of S and M, without direct shots, but it just makes people's index fingers tremble.

The motivation is here...

The original author of the Austrian Masok, whose English name is SadoMasochism, may not be known to many people, but the abbreviation S\M, I believe everyone knows it!

By the way, the heroine Emmanuel Senier is the wife of director Roman Polanski...

It's very difficult to be a judge. Many movies only have English subtitles, and in a few steps, they even have French subtitles... so much so that Chen Mengxi needs to be guessed.
Chapter completed!
