Chapter 600 This is a big potpourri
Tang He was really attentive for this interview and actually cooked for Lin Fan himself, cooking four dishes and a soup: a braised beef brisket with bean curd, a steamed sea bass, a steamed cured meat dish, a baby cabbage with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and finally a corn and pork ribs soup.
A few hard dishes were placed on the table, and even Lin Fan, who had the [Cooking Expertise] plug-in activated, was impressed by Tang He's cooking skills.
However, in the end, Xia Yan could not be called over because Lin Fan was the protagonist of this interview and Xia Yan also had his own announcements to attend, so the two men could only chat while eating.
Tang He was very regretful: "Lin Fan, to be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to make such a beautiful movie like "A Chinese Ghost Story". After the movie was released, I went to the cinema to watch it three times and watched it online twice. I dare say that I saw every detail."
But it was precisely because he saw so many details that Tang He was even more impressed by Lin Fan's talent.
Lin Fan also wanted to know what Tang He thought of the movie: "What did Mr. Tang feel after watching the movie?"
"I'm the one interviewing you, how come you're the one asking me questions?"
Tang He asked back, he had always been the one leading the guests, why did it become him who was being led when it came to Lin Fan? Lin Fan didn't care: "It's all the same, just chatting!"
"You're right, it's just a small talk." Tang He nodded to show his acceptance, "I don't know much about this movie, so I won't teach you anything, I'll just talk about my own feelings.
My biggest feeling is that your movie is very similar to the movies I watched when I was young. Not in terms of content, but in terms of feeling, do you understand?
The movies of our time are different from the movies of today. It’s not the difference in technology or scripts, but the movies and directors of that era are dreamy, and the movies they made are full of poetry and pursuit of beauty. "
It’s not that today’s movies don’t pursue beauty, but that today’s movies, with the rapid development of the times, blindly chase trends and as a result, miss out on the sedimentation of time and fail to sum up the unique beauty of this era, which is why they lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.
"Having too many choices is also a form of torture." Lin Fan has a deep understanding of this.
"Yes, nowadays, whether it is the film format or the music mode, there are too many things and elements to choose from, and they are all mixed and not refined. This is why the current movies are far less interesting than the old ones."
Are today's movies really not as good as old ones?
Not necessarily. There are some outstanding works among the new films, but in the modern environment, among the increasing number of film works, they seem too scarce. This gives the public the illusion that "there are no good movies to watch now."
Tang He asked: "So, do you have your own criteria for making choices?"
Lin Fan really wanted to answer: No, I just picked it randomly. There were so many songs that I could only choose which one to release by drawing lots.
But this can be said, but it cannot be broadcast.
Even if Tang He really broadcast this clip, everyone would just think Lin Fan was joking.
Therefore, Lin Fan could only answer: "I'll make a choice based on my ability."
Tang He became interested: "What do you mean?"
"I have only made one movie, so it's hard to give an example, so let's take songs for example. When I started writing songs, I didn't have too many ideas, I just wanted to share the melody in my mind with everyone, so I wrote "I Caught a Cold in That Corner", a song without even lyrics."
Well, the most important thing is that at that time, I had no singing skills and couldn't even remember all the lyrics. Although I had a system plug-in and gained a magical skill of "Never Singing Out of Tune", it couldn't change the fact that I couldn't remember the lyrics. I had no choice but to sing a song without lyrics.
“I was moved by everyone in ‘Morning Star’ and that’s when I came up with the next few songs. After leaving the studio, I started a B&B and encountered all kinds of problems, including netizens’ misunderstanding, black fans’ influence, and internet trolls that popped up out of nowhere.”
Well, later on, because he gained more skills from the system, especially the ultimate skill of [Photographic Memory], Lin Fan began to make his mark in the Chinese music scene.
The entire music library of the earth - ahem, of course, it is the part of the songs that Lin Fan himself has listened to, which are gradually recalled by Lin Fan. With these songs as capital, what reason does Lin Fan have not to release them and exchange these good songs for long-term meal tickets to make money for himself?
"Of course, all these experiences have allowed me to go further on the road of music. But I am still young and inexperienced. There are also some voices online saying that the songs I write don't quite match my life experiences."
Lin Fan smiled. How could it be completely consistent? After all, this is music from another world. If there really is an experience that completely matches the song, then Lin Fan wouldn't have to do it. Someone would have written the song long ago, right? "So I started to refer to the experiences of people around me, and even some netizens on the Internet, and used my imagination to substitute them and create."
Lin Fan spread his hands: "So, Mr. Tang, you see, here comes the problem. I have released so many songs, and you can see that the styles are different. They are all love songs but the differences are huge. They are all rock songs but the attitudes are different. It's like a big pot of stew. Although it tastes good, you don't know what cuisine to classify it into.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is also the reason why I haven't released an album yet. It's just that songs can be listened to separately without affecting each other. But if you put it in a movie, can you divide the movie into segments to enjoy it? Obviously not. So I only do things within my ability. I can only shoot this kind of effect in "A Chinese Ghost Story", so I won't think of making it into a magical blockbuster. I can only release songs one by one. For an album, I have to accumulate them slowly to accumulate songs with a more suitable style to put together. "
Tang He was stunned: This is the first time I know you are so good at making up stories, and you can even make it up for yourself!
Tang He used his last bit of stubbornness to change the subject: "So, the next focus will be the new album?"
"Yes, all other work for this year is in progress, and the only thing left is the album."
The songs have already been selected, and the only thing left is the filming of the MV. Once "The Legend of White Snake" is finished, Lin Fan can start filming the MV right away.
After the new album is released, the rest of the year will be vacation time. Lin Fan feels that this time cannot be wasted. Why not ask his wife to travel around Blue Star? After all, he has been here for so long, and he has only been to the United States once, but not to other places! At the same time, he can stay away from his father-in-law's sight, so that his father will not see that his daughter has no job and lock Xia Yan at home and not let her go out.
Well, it's a happy decision!
