Chapter 961: Literary Film

The next day was March 31. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On this day, Jin Jingcheng's first academic work, Jin Jingcheng's Collected Papers (Volume 1), was published.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for such academic works to sell well, and even if they do, there are often two prerequisites: first, he is a heavyweight scholar, and second, he is old or even dead. Don't laugh, this is the truth, like those famous scholars in the West, such as Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Freud, all of them only sold well when they were old or even dead.

There is also the case of a writer who has otherwise become a celebrity at the star level, and his scholarly work will be a bestseller. For example, Yu Qiuyu, Zhou Guoping, and Yi Zhongtian of the Chinese Kingdom, Yu Qiuyu is a drama scholar, Zhou Guoping is a philosophical scholar, and Yi Zhongtian is a literary scholar. However, when these three scholars became famous, they were not young, and even when they did, their academic works did not sell very well.

For scholars and professors working in universities, research institutes and other units, the main purpose of publishing academic works is usually not to sell well and make money, but to make themselves more important.

Jin Jingcheng understands this truth, and his publication of "Jin Jingcheng's Collected Papers (Volume 1)" is not to make money by selling well, but to make himself more weighty, so as to pave the way for the future evaluation of full professors.

However, what made Kim Jingcheng feel laughing and crying was that on March 31, his "Collected Essays of Kim Jingcheng (Volume 1)" had just been published, and many large bookstores in South Korea gathered many people who came to buy this book, and the number of online orders exceeded 50,000 copies in one day. This means that "Kim Kyung-sung's Collected Papers (Volume 1)" is bound to become a best-selling book, and even one of the best-selling academic works in contemporary Korea.

Obviously, this situation will occur, mainly because Kim Jingcheng's current popularity in South Korea is too hot, and many people want to buy his academic works because of his fame.

In this regard, Jin Jingcheng was naturally happy, but he was a little embarrassed, and the embarrassment was that this situation would inevitably arouse the envy and jealousy of some scholars and professors, so they would make remarks criticizing him.

It doesn't matter, Jin Jingcheng, who has already experienced strong winds and waves, will not be frightened by this kind of thing, if there is really sincere and meaningful criticism, Jin Jingcheng is willing to accept it with an open mind, and will treat the other party as a senior in the academic world, and if it is a malicious criticism made purely out of envy and jealousy, Jin Jingcheng will not pay attention to it, just think that those so-called scholars and professors are farting. Anyway, malicious criticism in the academic world is everywhere, anyway, with Kim Jingcheng's current momentum in South Korea, the malicious criticism of several scholars and professors can no longer pose any threat to him.

……

The day after the publication of "Jin Jingcheng's Collected Essays (Volume 1)" was April 1.

On this day, the movie "Robot Love" starring Jin Jingcheng and Lin Xiujing started filming, which is the third cooperation between Jin Jingcheng and Lin Xiujing after the TV series "Sorry, I Love You" and the movie "Sad Movie", and this time, the two played the same couple in "Robot Love".

Don't be fooled by the name "Robot Love", think this is a movie about robots falling in love, think this is a commercial movie, in fact, it is a very special literary film, telling the story of a mental hospital!

"Robot Love" is also known as "It Doesn't Matter About Cyborg", its director is Park Chan-wook, born in 1963, Park Chan-wook is 43 years old this year, he is a top literary film director in South Korea, and he is also a producer, screenwriter, and actor.

Park Chan-wook has directed many films, the most famous of which is the "revenge trilogy": "I Want Revenge", "Old Boy", "Kind Gold", among them, "Old Boy" and "Kind Gold" not only won many awards in Korea, but also won international recognition, "Old Boy" won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, "Kind Gold" won the 2005 Venice Film Festival Little Golden Lion Award and the Future of Cinema Award - Best Film two awards, making Park Chan-wook famous internationally.

Park Chan-wook's films are known for their noir weirdness, bloody violence and erotic scenes, full of a kind of personal offensive thinking, often cruel to the point of unacceptable, he is a well-known "dark master" in the Korean film industry, Koreans call him "the darkest guy", and his "revenge trilogy" is extremely dark. Park Chan-wook, however, has a dark style that has contributed positively to the diversity of Korean cinema by dazzling and captivating plot suspense that hides his exploration of the infinite possibilities of human nature.

There will be such an artistic style, which is closely related to Park Chan-wook's university major and growth experience, Park Chan-wook graduated from the Department of Philosophy of Sogang University, and it is inevitable that studying philosophy will be more literary and artistic and a little extreme, and Park Chan-wook has had a very difficult career after graduating from university, which has given him a unique perception of the disadvantaged groups in society.

Park Chan-wook's directing of "Robot Love" this time is his kind of "dare to fight", the so-called dare to fight, is to bravely fight with himself and the movie, he hopes to break through his previous fixed image through this film, create a new field in Korean literary films, and let the audience think deeply about human nature through the vulnerable group of mental patients in mental hospitals.

In his previous life, Jin Jingcheng was more impressed by "Robot Love", as far as he was concerned, he liked this movie more, but he knew that many people couldn't watch this movie, because they couldn't understand it, and they felt bored to watch, and some people even scolded this movie, saying that only a neurotic can understand it, and scolded the director for being a neurotic......

This encounter of "Robot Love" is by no means a special case, many excellent literary films have this kind of encounter, and this situation can even be summarized as a regrettable social phenomenon.

In Jin Jingcheng's view, many people's so-called can't understand "Robot Love", it's not that you really can't understand it, but that you have an impetuous mentality, and you don't want to think about and feel such movies with your heart, but are used to watching popcorn movies that don't use your brain. In fact, as long as you have a little bit of cultural literacy and are a person who can think with your heart, then when you calm down and watch this movie, you will be able to understand it, you may be moved by the strange love in the movie, you may be amazed by the fascinating plot suspense of the movie, you may be amazed by the bizarre imagination of this movie, and you may think about some human things from it......
