Chapter 37: The Final Interpretation Belongs to Me (Ask for Recommendation Votes!)
Literary scripts are a must for every domestic film, and they can be regarded as domestic characteristics.
In the 80s, a filmmaker wrote in a book that domestic films must have literary scripts, and the reason is that film is the only art that can enter the cabinet.
Only it can enter, so troublesome.
Those censors who only know the chapter back script can't understand what you write, what story you shoot, and how they still censor.
Although this is a bit extreme, it is not unreasonable.
The usefulness of literary scripts is to deal with censorship and lay investors.
The real script, they can't understand.
A literary script can be read as a story, with the eyes.
And the script is read with the brain, and after reading the script, you can imagine pictures in your mind, so that you know what you want to shoot.
The literary script is also very much misleading in translation.
In the early years, the translators were all high-end talents with certain literary skills, and when translating foreign scripts, they would have some of their own understandings.
At that time, they all thought that movies were literary, and the translators didn't understand the film itself, and they didn't believe what they saw: why was there no literature at all?
They only believe what they understand.
When it was translated, foreign scripts were dyed with a certain literaryness, and then evolved into readability, that is, literary scripts, which can be seen with the eyes as if they were stories.
Li Guangjie has only made one movie so far, "Lichun" directed by Gu Changwei, but it will not be released until Lichun next year.
In school, the scripts of those classic foreign movies I watched were also translated literary scripts.
And Li Qian's "Jaws" is the same formal script as Hollywood.
Compared with the literary script, although it is no longer readable, it also gives Li Guangjie a more intuitive understanding of this movie.
As a professional actor, while reading the script, I can already imagine pictures in my mind.
It's exciting, there's no doubt about it!
He also watched "Sniper Phone Booth", with the help of Li's members.
This "Jaws" is no worse than "Sniper Phone Booth".
However, "Sniper Phone Booth" is a movie in which the actor is supported by himself, and it is easier to shine.
And the protagonist of "Jaws" is a shark, even Li Guangjie himself has to admit that when he reads the script, he pays more attention to the shark.
The Internet University and the protagonist are not brilliant enough, and Li Guangjie hesitated.
Li Qian said with a smile, "The shark is just a big villain, the protagonist is the core of the whole movie, whether you can perform brilliantly depends on your performance." ”
"What did Director Li say?"
Li Guangjie asked, no matter how you look at it, the most attractive thing in the movie is the shark, and he doesn't understand how the protagonist can be more brilliant than the shark.
Li Qian smiled, this is not simple.
Watching a movie casually, Li Qian can interpret different meanings from various angles, and he can write enough to write a few papers, not to mention the script he wrote, how he wants to understand it.
Li Qian immediately said, "The protagonist is a complex of contradictions in the movie, and at the same time, he is also a person with great personal heroism. ”
"The paradox is that the male protagonist wants to kill the shark the most, but he is most afraid of water, and there is a conflict between what he wants to do and what he is most afraid of, which will make the story more exciting and make the character more fleshed out. ”
"When the shark attacked humans for the first time, the male protagonist, as the captain of the security guard, suggested that the beach be closed, and the owner of the seaside resort did not agree for the sake of profit, which was a contradiction in the face of the leadership, he had children and needed to support his family. ”
Once the resort is closed, there is news that there are sharks, not only the resort will be finished, the entire village will lose its biggest source of income, and the protagonist will also be disgusted by the whole village and regard him as a sinner. “
"On the one hand, there is a sense of justice and social responsibility as an ordinary person, and on the other hand, there is another layer of conflict. ”
It is true that after the shark kills someone, the suspense of waiting for its next kill is very attractive to the audience, but how the actor chooses among the multiple contradictions is also the most attractive to the audience. ”
At the same time, the time background in the movie is that before the golden time of summer vacation tourism is approaching, this scourge must be solved before tourists flock to it, and with this urgency, the audience will look forward to the protagonist becoming a superhero and killing the shark who is afraid of evil, and how the protagonist who is afraid of water kills the shark. ”
"After the male protagonist removes all the contradictions and difficulties, the character is sublimated, and finally kills the shark, which is the biggest climax!"
.......
Listening to Li Qian's all-round analysis of the male protagonist, Li Guangjie was stunned.
I see!
Not only the shark, but also the male protagonist!
Seeing Li Guangjie's expression, Li Qian smiled slightly in his heart.
Lu Xun's words can make Chinese textbooks explain, not to mention a feature-length movie of more than 70 minutes.
As the creator of the movie, Li Qian knows the movie better than anyone else, and he can explain it however he wants.
Anyway, I wrote it myself, and the final interpretation is in my own hands.
However, Li Qian added, "However, a good movie is not spoken, nor written, but acted, whether you can play this actor depends on your own performance." “
If the actor in the final movie is not as brilliant as the shark, and the audience goes to see the shark and ignores the protagonist, it is because you didn't act well, not because there is a problem with the script.
Li Guangjie didn't know what Li Qian meant, but he felt that what Li Qian said was very reasonable.
At the same time, it is also a challenge to be able to play the actor more brilliant than a shark.
Looking forward to completing this challenge and overpowering the feared shark in the movie and becoming the most watched character in the movie!
And he heard that Li Qian has entered the sight of several film companies, so this movie will definitely be noticed by several major film companies.
Li Guangjie, who debuted as a classic drama like "Towards the Republic", has filmed several TV series with the male lead in a row, and Li Guangjie now wants to transform into a movie actor.
With Li Qian's movie, and Gu Changwei's new film "Lichun" released in Lichun next year, he is also the male lead, and it is not surprising that he has successfully transformed into a film actor, which is just around the corner.
After that, it's time to talk to the agent about the salary and treatment.
Li Guangjie is not an amateur like Lei Jiayin, and the contract is a bit troublesome.
All kinds of terms, accommodation, food, travel... Wait a minute.
In terms of salary, a total of 80,000 yuan, and the schedule was signed for 15 days.
Fortunately, "Lichun" has not been released yet, otherwise the movie will be much more expensive if it has a good response.
Now he can only be regarded as a big-screen newcomer, after all, a first-line student like Chen Kun who has starred in a movie, his salary is seven or eight hundred thousand, and the fifteen-day schedule is several times less than the time of two or three months in theater movies.
After confirming the rules, both parties signed their names on it.
Li Guangjie thought about it and asked another question, "Director Li, can you ask, why did you ask me to play this role?"
"Because of your face. ”
Li Qian said with a smile, "In the movie, the male protagonist has to face contradictions in all aspects, and it is difficult to choose, and your face with a bit of bitterness is the most suitable." ”
Li Guangjie was silent, what is bitterness, he is obviously a melancholy handsome guy.
After signing the contract, Li Guangjie still had filming in the crew, and Li Qian didn't stay long.
successfully determined the male lead, Li Qian was also a lot easier, and the other roles were much easier.
As for the final movie, when Li Guangjie found that he was not as brilliant as Li Qian said, and was completely overshadowed by sharks, it was none of Li Qian's business.
It's not that your role isn't brilliant, it's just that you didn't play it well!
