Disaster Artist

As a director, Lu Qian has won first-hand box office and first-hand awards. With only three works, he has established his position in the industry and attracted many diehards.

The success of "Tourists", in particular, is an anomaly in this year's awards season.

Along with the screening of the movie, more and more audiences who like Lu Qian entered the movie theater, and in this black comedy with literary flavor, they found fun different from commercial popcorn, so that they returned to the big screen. The fans who are in front of the screen twice and three times are like mushrooms after the rain—

It's really rare for a drama film.

On social networks, "tourists" are even dubbed "must-see movies for couples who are about to get married", which has attracted attention because of such a joking irony.

The final box office data is even more of a surprise. It is currently the second highest-grossing work in the awards season, second only to "Mission to Mars".

However, "Visitors" and "Mars Missions" are works without any Golden Book awards, which makes the situation of awards season slightly interesting:

First, comedy.

The Golden Book Award does not like comedy. To be precise, it should be that art creators generally believe that tragedy is more worthy of recognition than comedy. Throughout the long history, the recognition and praise that comedy has received has never reached the height of tragedy. —

Comedy, forget it after laughing; tragedy, unforgettable.

In fact, from a certain point of view, the difficulty of creating comedy is far greater than that of tragedy; but art creators seem to be more willing to reward those sorrows and pains who examine the sufferings of the world, and refuse to recognize joy and happiness as the ultimate pursuit of life.

This is a very large and very complex issue, and it is not that simple to analyze. The only thing that is certain is that the Golden Book Award does not welcome comedy. This is the result and also the predicament.

Second, sharp.

"Mars Mission" is better. It tells about loneliness, struggle, survival, hope, and self-salvation of human beings. This is the theme that the Golden Book Award likes.

But "Tourist" is... terribly bad, and the story isn't just about marriage - if it were just marriage, the Golden Book would love it too; the story goes deeper into human nature itself, the hypocrisy of the middle class, the elite The cunning, the ugliness of marriage.

It is the judges of the Golden Book Award who are on fire.

In the words of netizens,

"Lu Qian's slaps from left to right are like a symphony concerto. Obviously, he didn't expect the judges who were beaten into pigs' heads to vote for him."

"Lanchuan is not Weihai."

Similar jokes, with the schadenfreude of watching a good show, have been widely spread on social networks, causing heated discussions.

In terms of box office, word of mouth, quality, popularity, etc., "Tourists" are indeed the first group of works in the awards season, with good competitiveness.

But from the taste of the Golden Book Awards, it is very difficult for "tourists" to enter their radar range.

So, it's well worth a good discussion about the prospects of the "tourist" awards season.

Lu Qian, it really is Lu Qian, even if he is shooting a feature film, he still does not follow the usual path, and the traffic boom still shows no signs of calming down in a short period of time.

As a producer, Lu Qian quietly accomplished more important things.

Here, I am not talking about the success of "Quick Pursuit" and "Human Removal Plan", but the hidden branches behind the success of these two works.

For example, in the cooperation between Damen Film and Blue Whale Film, in addition to two series of works, it can be seen that Damen Film has won more confidence and seized the first opportunity among the seven major film companies. The cooperation trend of Whale Pictures is also worth looking forward to.

For example, the two directors Hou Xiaochuan and Jiang Paifeng have almost been forgotten by the industry, but now they are back in the field. The latest news in the industry is that these two directors are preparing their own new projects, and Blue Whale Pictures is willing to take the lead Hear about their plans.

For example, the almost forgotten "Blacklist Project", which everyone thought was just a whimsical and idealistic concept, has been officially launched, and the two dramas "Schmidt Bay" and "Stranger Things" Sets have been put into filming.

Etc., etc.

At this time, looking back two months ago, Dong Ruixian refused to cooperate with the streamer film industry in order to invite Lu Qian to be the director of the project "Love", which is very, very interesting.

Of course, Dong Ruixian should not see the bigger picture, but just focus on her own projects, but it is precisely this kind of focus that proves that Lu Qian's talent has been further recognized by the industry.

From Dong Ruixian to Hou Xiaochuan and Jiang Paifeng, to the "blacklist plan", these seemingly unrelated keys are connected one by one, like the Big Dipper, and then you can clearly see Lu Qian's reputation in The wide spread of contacts in the industry is forming a new force.

As the "Lanchuan Daily" featured a report four weeks ago:

If it is just "Blue Whale Films VS Streamer Films", then it is another story of capital confrontation, and the final decision is the thickness of capital.

But the key point is that this is a story of "Sisyphus VS Zeus". Lu Qian represents the practitioners who still believe in artistic creation, still believe in images, and still believe in film. Once they unite, they will stand opposite the film company. , then the situation is another matter.

A momentum is brewing.

When Xiu Zhongjun read the two special reports before and after the "Lanchuan Daily", a cold sweat appeared behind him, and he had to admire the keenness and sharpness of these senior professionals:

Obviously, "Lanchuan Daily" does not know some of Lu Qian's other ideas for the time being.

The first is to unite with the gate film industry and instigate the brokerage company to seek benefits for the "unofficial actors".

The second is to strive for more benefits for the staff of their own crew.

At present, it is not yet known how the process and result of the two events will be, UU reading www.uukanshu. There is also the possibility of failure in com; but it is indeed possible to see the layout of Lu Qian.

Strictly speaking, the streaming media platform that Blue Whale Pictures is preparing is also different from the imagined goal. At that time, the development direction of the platform may also fall below the glasses of countless people and stand on the opposite side of large film companies again. .

Of course, in Xiu Zhongjun's view, business is still business, the difference is only in the way. If Blue Whale Pictures really wants to safeguard the interests of film practitioners, then they must also become bigger and have enough capital and strength to Fighting against the rules of the entire industry, or relying solely on your own strength, is a drop in the bucket.

But Xiu Zhongjun knew that Lu Qian didn't have these thoughts, and Lu Qian's starting point was always pure and sincere.

However, unconsciously, Lu Qian was embarking on a path that he did not know and that no one could predict.

"Lanchuan Daily" caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg without knowing it, which really surprised Xiu Zhongjun.

At the end of the second special report, "Lanchuan Daily" ended with this sentence.

"This is the beginning of a journey, and you and I are fortunate enough to be witnesses."
