This director is vindictive.

Chapter 63 She only lost her life, but I lost my love!

“In the past, women were written from a male perspective, portraying them as virtuous, gentle, submissive, and obedient.

I think this film could have focused on telling the story from a female perspective.

I hope to portray these female characters as having backbone without looking servile.

That is to say, they do not depend on men to exist, such as the character Chen Ruoxi."

The next day after the premiere, poet Chen asked Chen Mo to talk about the work "The Lost Internet".

Poet Chen is proud, and his idea is not so dirty. He just wants to impress Chen Mo, persuade Chen Mo, and conquer Chen Mo through his ideas so that he will hand over this work to him.

Yes, that's how confident you are.

This is also the reason why although Chen Mo felt quite uncomfortable with what Chen Shishi said about "cats and dogs", he did not dislike him too much.

Although proud people have various shortcomings, you have to admit that they are indeed capable and do not play those despicable tricks. If others respect me an inch, I will respect them ten feet.

This was the first time that Chen Mo heard of poet Chen's idea of ​​filming "Search".

"The character of Chen Ruoxi is very complex, contradictory and realistic. I would rather position her as a human being rather than a reporter. Personally, I admire her. Every time she says 'I want to start over', I get a chill. Such a person is invincible." Poet Chen added.

This is very Director Chen. To be honest, Chen Mo really hasn't thought about it that much. He is a vulgar person and his pursuit of art is limited.

He wanted to make "Search" more out of his personal feelings.

Moreover, he did not think as much about the character of Chen Ruoxi as the great poet Chen.

He simply hated people like that, it was that simple.

Especially when talking about Chen Ruoxi jumping off the building, the two had a huge disagreement.

Old Chen thought: "Chen Ruoxi jumping off the building is too cruel for a reporter!"

But Chen Mo retorted sharply, "What about Ye Lanqiu? Does she deserve to die? Who caused all this? Who is the biggest source of malice? Chen Ruoxi! I don't understand. Yes, from a female perspective, Chen Ruoxi is self-reliant, but her starting point is based on discrediting Ye Lanqiu. She's willing to do anything to achieve her career, but has she ever considered Ye Lanqiu?"

"The self-reliant women that people truly admire shouldn't be built on the suffering of others!"

The two argued with each other endlessly.

No one could convince anyone else, but the atmosphere was quite good.

Because both Chen Mo and Chen Shishi were arguing about the characters and stories in "The Lost Web".

"I think the character of Chen Ruoxi is very well described. It portrays the faces of a large number of media practitioners today. They have an overflowing sense of justice, are good at inciting and spreading rumors, disdain to think, use public resources for personal revenge, and end up in embarrassment because of their greed for small profits." If you follow your extreme idea and let Chen Ruoxi's ending be jumping off the building like in the novel, don't you think it's too much and unrealistic?
I think the best ending is the failure of both career and love. It's just the right time to stop. And to some extent, for a strong woman like Chen Ruoxi, this is more painful than death!

"It's like the Stab Cult incident. As someone involved, you must hate those people to the core. But the reality is, all you can do is get the perpetrator sentenced, and that's all!"

"But can career and love compare with a living life? What's the difference between this and the view that 'He only lost a leg, but I lost my love'?" Chen Mo still disagreed and directly brought out this speechless quote.

Director Chen was also confused by Chen Mo's words.

"You are being unreasonable! You are talking nonsense! How can it be the same?" Poet Chen was so angry that he laughed.

"Why is it different? Didn't Ye Lanqiu lose her life? Why did she, Chen Ruoxi, only lose her career and love?" Chen Mo was stubborn.

"Young people are young people. Ye Lanqiu's death is indeed regrettable, but Chen Ruoxi doesn't deserve the death penalty, right? According to what you said, every one of them, including those who cyberbullied Ye Lanqiu, should also die. It's extreme, too extreme!" Poet Chen couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at Chen Mo's young and energetic face.

"When making a movie, you can't just vent your anger. It's fun to shoot it that way, but you can't ignore logic at all. Movies are the art of creating dreams, but movies can't just be about dreaming!" Poet Chen couldn't help but continue.

"Okay, even if you are right, Chen Ruoxi only lost her love and career, and she can start over. Isn't it too easy for her?" Chen Mo admitted that what Lao Chen said made sense, but he still felt uncomfortable with Chen Ruoxi's ending. Why?
"You're being too one-sided. Of course, we can attribute all of this to reporter Chen Ruoxi's personal professional ethics, or to the media's responsibility, but that's only one-sided.

Living in the information age of the internet, while we enjoy the convenience it brings us, we also enjoy full freedom of speech and can express our opinions promptly. However, everyone's expression has its merits and demerits, and anonymous speech inevitably carries a certain degree of subjectivity. Some negative speech will ultimately harm the interests of others.

You're blaming everything on Chen Ruoxi, but that's unfair!" Poet Chen explained.

Chen Mo had to admit that what Old Chen said made sense.

"And the most crucial point! A realistic film should look realistic. In reality, do you think Ye Lanqiu's death can really make Chen Ruoxi pay for her life?" Poet Chen asked again.

Chen Mo shook his head.

"So, Chen Ruoxi lost her career and love on the surface, but in reality, she also suffered mental torment. This level of punishment is enough. You should understand the principle that too much is as bad as too little." Poet Chen said with a teachable look.

"What do you want to express through this movie? A movie can't just be a movie. As directors, we need to show something through movies. What do you think it is?" Poet Chen asked again.

"When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent! I hope that through this movie, in this era where everyone is a self-media and has the right to speak, while everyone expresses their beauty, they also need to pay attention to their words and actions. Don't be careless and get yourself deeply involved in it in the future." Chen Mo thought for a while and said.

"That's right. Blindly venting one's anger and putting it in a movie is the most undesirable thing. One should learn to restrain oneself and make sure that the audience feels that the fate of the characters in the movie is reasonable after watching it, rather than being biased and following one's own subjective ideas. In that case, the warning of the movie will lose its meaning, because everyone can see that it's just the director's self-entertainment!" Old Chen, who likes to teach, said in a teaching manner.

Chen Mo suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you Director Chen for your guidance. I think I know how to shoot it now!"

This time, poet Chen could no longer laugh. Oh no, he had been fooled by this kid. For a moment, he even forgot why he came to see Chen Mo.

This young man is really bad! Old Chen feels like he's shooting himself in the foot.

It was obvious that he wanted to make this movie and wanted to conquer this young man with his own ideas, but he ended up talking too much and it became like giving instructions!
