The three major mainland directors appeared at the screening of "Carol" at the same time, and the popularity of this news instantly became the hot search list on Weibo.

Although the name of genius has been spread throughout China in the past four years, compared with Zhang Yimou, even if Chen Kai is Feng Xiaogang, the popularity of the people must be reduced.

Zhang Yimou, the only director that many ordinary people in China know about, is too awesome, and the most awesome is of course directing the O8 BJ Olympics;

Brother Chen Kai is second only to Zhang Yimou's reputation. His reputation mainly includes infamy and prestige;

Feng Xiaogang, over the past decade, has made him the last director with the most box office appeal in China!

Perhaps, in the hearts of many netizens, Chen Lin's historical status has surpassed these three, but looking at the whole of China, he is far from enough.

Chen Lin’s official Weibo discussion group:

"I'll go, the boss is so crazy this time! Who are you on the scene?" Lai Heng

"I'm at the scene, there are so many celebrities, I'm just showing up, I'm a little face-blind!" Yan Ning 1.5 meters tall

"Where did you get the ticket?" Yang Hua

"Hehe, the group leader gave it!" Yan Ning 1.5 meters away.

"Py transaction!" Digging out the ground

"py trading 1!" Great as me

"...I want it too, big, I want it too, I can also be 1.5 meters tall!" Don't hurt you

"roll!"

...

"Director Shen, many people are particularly wondering why you suddenly announced the release of the movie?"

The host is Xie Nan.

Chen Lin specially asked her to help host the screening.

"There's no way, Bill, my agent in the United States, contacted me and told me that he was going to release "Carol". I was afraid that someone would pirated the copies, so I simply released them in China first!"

I can't just say that it's just to confront "Charlotte's Troubles"!

What Chen Lin said is also true. Thanksgiving is coming soon and "Carol" will be released soon.

However, Bill could only contact "Carol" with less than 500 theaters willing to screen "Carol". After all, this is an aesthetic love film with a particularly strong literary nature.

Generally, the box office results of such films will not be very good.

But as long as the performance of a single museum meets the standards, there is still a chance to be screened for a long time.

"Are you talking about the pirated version of "Hong Kong Empress"?"

"Yes, "Carol" is not a 3D movie. Once the film source is leaked, the theaters will not be able to be screened!"

These two conversations are written by the Taiwanese version I have spoken before.

It is obvious that we have expressed our condemnation of the piracy of "Hong Kong Empress" in Hong Kong.

"Director Chen, we know that you have almost zero tolerance for bad movies, especially some bad movies with high box office."

"...It's not aimed at a certain person or a director. Unless I really can't stand it, I will never speak casually, after all, no one gives me money!"

"Then how do you evaluate your movie "Carol"?"

"Actually, when I changed this script, I knew that this movie would definitely be liked by most people, but the box office was definitely not ideal. Sure enough, after the film was completed, our entire crew breathed a sigh of relief after watching it. They both felt it was wonderful and thought that such a movie was a bit out of place!"

“How to say it?”

"I personally think this is the case... There are a lot of big shots sitting in the audience. Listen to me, a young man, who is just a little confused... I'll show off my skills and tell me about my personal understanding of movies and box office."

Chen Lin first bowed slightly to several directors in the audience, and then said: "The times are changing. The young generation now sits in the cinema and they don't want to feel greatness, let alone know what human nature is. They just want to be simple, laugh loudly or be moved. This is something that literary and artistic movies can't do!"

"In fact, there are limited audiences for genre films or art films in any country. After all, the purpose of many people watching movies is more for leisure, rather than spending two hours in a dull state."

"Not to mention Hollywood, even Europe, a holy place for art movies, and a country like France, where niche art theaters are mature, the top ten or even the top twenty in the box office every year are commercial films, and art movies have to stand aside. So it is unscientific to expect art movies to earn box offices!"

"So, when I make art films, I have a purpose of being exquisite. Of course, it may be because of the limited directorial level or aesthetics. So far, I have not produced a work that I am particularly satisfied with."

"Carol is definitely a work that I didn't dare to say until I was forty, because when I was writing the script, I obviously felt that I was not capable enough. This feeling was something I had never experienced since I was a director. Fortunately, the actors performed well and completely covered up some empty things."

"If I were to evaluate Carol myself, I might say that classics are not a question, but they are definitely suitable for two people to watch the movie."

I've said a lot, but I still want to sell tickets!

"…Thank you, Director Shen Lin. By the way, Director Shen, can you ask, do you expect the box office of this movie?"

"Well, to be honest, I have no expectations for the box office of this movie, as long as someone wants to watch it."

Shen Lin pondered for a moment and replied.

"Then there should be a number. Look at the media and reporters in the field, so you have to give them an explanation, right?"

Xie Nan pointed to the audience seat below, and sure enough, a bunch of reporters were busy taking photos.

"I think about it, 800 million! 800 million should be about the same!"

“…800 million is also called no expectation?”

Not only Xie Nan looked in disbelief, but even the actors on the stage, including Zhao Liying, Gong Li and Chen Daoming, were surprised.

Not to mention the audience and guests, etc.

"Is 800 million a lot?"

Shen Lin widened his eyes, as if he had been insulted.

“…”

Xie Nan was about to say something, but suddenly he realized that the director opposite her was Shen Lin!

"No matter how bad my work is, it should be a box office of 500 million yuan. With one Palme d'Or and two Cannes Best Actress trophysics, it's exactly 800 million yuan."

Shen Lin counted very carefully with his fingers.

In fact, everyone knew that he might be doing something.

Who would have thought that this guy’s confidence was simply incomprehensible.

Who do you think you are?

Art films won 800 million yuan in box office?

At the beginning, there were so many preparations, and the box office of literary and artistic movies was definitely not high from various angles. Now I have said that the box office of 800 million yuan?

Although the four words "Shen Lin's work" are truly worth money and can be exchanged for at least 500 million yuan in box office, it is aimed at certain specific works.

Haven’t you seen that “Dallas Buyers Club” has only had a box office of over 300 million in China, so is the best Oscar film!

Most of the reporters off the court were very excited - it was rare to see Shen Lin being slapped in the face!

Although "Carol" has not been released in China, the style of the film, including rhythm and content, has long been revealed by a group of reporters who have participated in the Cannes Film Festival.
