"It's just..."

After reading the script in his hand seriously, Deng Chao was amazed.

With a long sigh, he walked out of the plot and looked at Li Qian with some incredulity, "Li Qian, do you know, I really want to split your head with an axe right now to see what it's like inside, your brain hole is really bigger and bigger every time!"

Li Qian is far inferior to directors such as Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kaige in terms of skills and technology, and the gap between art and photography is directly reflected in the beauty of the picture.

However, no matter who it is, even if there is a gap with Li Qian, they have to admit that in terms of creativity and brains, none of the domestic directors today can compare with him, or even have a close connection.

Not to mention the most cerebral "Moon", the creativity of "Frequency of Life and Death" to communicate across time and space and save each other is not available in China.

And this time, the script of "Truman's World" in front of Deng Chao completely surpassed any of Li Qian's previous movies.

To use an Internet phrase to describe Deng Chao's current thoughts, that is, "kneel!"

"How can it be so exaggerated, it's just that the directors are old, the young people haven't come out yet, and these older generations are destined to have little creativity in the era they lived in. ”

Li Qian shook his head and said, "If you really want to see the brain hole, it is better to watch the Internet, the brain hole is bigger than the other, even if there are many science fiction holes more than ten years ago, there is only a lack of people to shoot him, the older generation of directors don't shoot, the newcomers don't have the ability to shoot, and they can't attract big investment." ”

"Yes. Deng Chao was slightly stunned, "The older generation has different ideas and creative stories, but they are reluctant to shoot." ”

Li Qian waved his hand and stopped the off-topic chat, "Okay, don't talk about this, let's talk about it, how do you understand the role of Truman." ”

"Truman. ”

Speaking of business, Deng Chao didn't talk about anything else, he waited for the actor of Li Qian's movie for more than a year, and the flowers he waited for were almost grateful.

He thought for a while and said, "First of all, it is both lucky and unlucky, as an orphan, he grew up safely and smoothly, he has parents who love him since he was a child, and he has a friend who grew up together, although this is all fake, but what Truman got is true."

Otherwise, it may be terrible to be sent to an orphanage as an orphan and be adopted by a family with a good family background, but all this is arranged by someone else, and on the other hand, it is sad.

It's a poor person, when he starts to try to leave, in the eyes of the audience, he is a poor person, and I don't want to play this aspect for the time being. ”

"How to act is something that should be discussed later. Li Qian nodded and motioned to continue.

However, Truman is also a contradiction, he is afraid of dogs, and because of the shadow caused by his father's fake death, he is afraid of water, and after his father's death, he is afraid of going to sea, and as soon as his relatives say anything, he immediately gives up his ideas, there is no main line, cowardice.

But he was also a brave, curious, crazy man.

Step by step to find the truth of the matter, this is curiosity.

It is brave to be brave to find the truth, and to have the courage to do it, to escape, and finally to get out of that false world.

Pulling his wife, crazy drag racing, it's crazy. ”

Deng Chao explained his understanding one by one, his expression was a little strange, his brows were furrowed, and he looked particularly distressed.

"It's easy to understand what Truman did before and after, including suddenly racing frantically regardless of safety, but when it all comes together, the character feels particularly contradictory. ”

"That's right, Truman is a contradiction. Li Qian nodded.

Deng Chao also put down the script and listened to how Li Qian explained this character, after all, he only read the script once, and he definitely didn't know more about Li Qian as the creator.

Li Qian said with a smile, "In fact, Truman is the epitome of ordinary people, he has most of the advantages of a good person at the moral and legal level, such as kindness, politeness, enthusiasm, intelligence, and nostalgia, but also has a shortcoming that most good people will have, cowardice and timidity." ”

Saying this, Deng Chao became more and more confused, good people have shortcomings, this is not difficult to understand, if you are not a good person, you are perfect.

"But what does this moral, legal good person mean?"

"What is 'Truman's World'?" Li Qian asked him rhetorically.

"It's a movie... No, it's a show!"

"That's right, it's a TV show, and the cause of his character is mainly caused by the people and things around him, because he is placed in a false world, and because all his life has to be shown to the audience, so Truman must conform to universal values, and he must be a good person at the moral and legal levels, otherwise a second-rate protagonist, the audience will not like it, and it does not conform to the mainstream ideas of society.

Not only him, but also the people around him must be sunny and healthy, and it is best to be positive when what happens, which is why he is kind, cheerful and enthusiastic.

There is curiosity, this is Truman's innate nature, he is very curious about the new things around him, and he is cowardly mainly because of the death of his father, and the various interference of his mother, wife and friends, under the oppression of various conditions, he slowly became brave again.

The advantages are cultivated by the environment for a long time, and so are the disadvantages, but this shortcoming is not formed by himself, it is imposed on him by external forces, and once he finds out that it is all false, he is no longer cowardly and timid. ”

The amount of information is not small, and Deng Chao did not fully absorb it for a while, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look." ”

"Brother Chao, you don't have to understand it now, there are still a few months before you leave filming. ”

Li Qian thought for a while, and then said, "I'll talk about another place, you can understand, Truman gave up looking for his beloved because of his mother's illness, although he felt that the things around him were very strange, but he still believed in his friends, which shows that he is very nostalgic, and for the sake of his relatives and friends around him, he can give up what he wants to do."

However, when he knew the truth, he resolutely decided to leave, and at this time he was not in love with the old at all, because everything was fake, and he was no longer in love with falsehood, and he was no longer cowardly in the face of falsehood. ”

Deng Chao suddenly said, "When I say this, I probably understand what it means." ”

"Slowly understand, although this is a comedy, but you don't need to think about how to be funny, you can understand these qualities of Truman, and you can substitute yourself into Truman, just understand, take it slowly, there is enough time. ”

There is no perfect actor, but Deng Chao is enough, kind, free, enthusiastic, smart, cheerful, brave, Deng Chao has these external conditions, and that kind of heartfelt and infectious smile, Deng Chao is an optimistic and cheerful person by nature.

The rest is for Deng Chao to go to enlightenment by himself, and after having a meal together at noon, they are busy with their own work.

.....

Li Qian is doing his own thing here, and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which was first released in the Chinese New Year, is in full swing at the box office.

25 million on the first day, that was only 6 o'clock in the evening to 12 o'clock, six hours of box office.

Of course, during the prime time of the evening, it is normal for these six hours to be higher than the box office of the whole day during the day.

Four days after the first weekend, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" also got a high box office of 150 million under the subsidy of 60 million yuan from Minsheng Bank.

But looking at the box office, it's okay, but it was 25 million on the first night, and a total of 150 million in four days, which is undoubtedly a failure, especially if this is Zhang Yimou's film.

The reputation of the movie is okay, the plot is okay from the movie itself, the modeling is exquisite, and the photography and editing can't find any faults.

However, the characters are too weak, the character image of each female student is not three-dimensional enough, almost the role of a storyteller and the contradiction with the dust woman is an opposite, and the role of guiding the story is the same as the image of the dust woman, basically relying on Ni Ni to support the image of this group, and the only role of the rest of the people is to answer the call and be a vase.

Li Qian actually has no interest in this film at all, not to mention that the woman sacrificed herself to save the students, nor to say that the plot before and after is seriously separated, not to mention that Bell, a foreigner, has slowly changed from a hooligan image to a three-dimensional one, and the transformation is too blunt.

Li Qian didn't want to watch this kind of movie that depicted the tragic experience of women in his country facing invaders during this kind of war, and it was a group of women who had no ability to resist, not even female soldiers, just ordinary people.

This type of movie is nothing more than a role that makes people feel grief, remember history, and never forget the bloody efforts of their ancestors.

However, Li Qian's biggest feeling was not blood, not moving, not grief, but more disgusting.

What to watch in this movie?

In the first half, it's okay to watch the soldiers of the army fight the Japanese Ben, and in the second half, watch the dusty woman sacrifice herself to save a few students and children?

This is not a woman changing students, it is an adult changing a child, and some people's statements on the Internet are still biased.

In terms of the movie itself, it's a good movie.

But Li Qian, as an audience, felt disgusting!

Anyone who shoots the civilians of their own country, who are tortured and killed by a group of brutes without resistance in the war, is disgusting, disgusting.

War films, never how good-looking the cheongsam is, how real the demeanor of the dusty woman is, this is all secondary, war films are about war, resistance, blood, passion, hope, and moving, rather than unilaterally being abused and killed.

The evaluation of this film is definitely not low, it is good as a movie itself, but the audience will definitely not like it.

The next week, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" won 180 million box office, and the total box office in two weeks was 330 million, which is not even thinking about Zhang Weiping's billion, and it is difficult to reach the cost of 600 million in his mouth.

This week, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was released, with 140 million in 4 days, a little worse than the first week of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

The national teacher is the national teacher, and in terms of appeal, Xu Kejia and Li Lianjie are not opponents.

However, the difference is not far away, and anyone can win, and the Chinese New Year battle has become confusing.
