Chapter 360 The hustle and bustle caused by the rush to the Olympics
In the office, after more than a year, Li Qian saw Qi Yukun again.
Looking at Qi Yukun, who was slightly thinner than a year ago, and there was still a scar on his head, Li Qianqi said, "Old Qi, how have you made progress in southern Henan for more than a year, is this on your head?"
"This?"
Qi Yukun touched the scar on his head and laughed, "I went back to my hometown in Jiuyuan during the Chinese New Year last year, and went to a few coal mines to investigate, but there was a small coal mine, and they thought I was a reporter and beat me. ”
This...
Li Qian knew that Qi Yukun originally planned to make a movie about coal mines, and there were many coal mines in his hometown of Jiuyuan.
Later, I heard a person from southern Henan tell me about some things in their local area, and then turned around and went to the rural areas of southern Henan to investigate, and the investigation lasted for more than a year, and now it is finished.
"Coal mines, especially black coal mines, don't go easily, be careful when you go, it's better to show your identity, at least you are not a journalist, and you won't do anything to you. Li Qian suggested.
Qi Yukun was still a little afraid, nodded and said, "I won't go in a short time, the investigation in southern Henan has also been completed, and the script has come out, so I plan to start preparing for the movie." ”
As he spoke, he took out a script from a shabby leather bag and handed it to Li Qian.
"Boss, take a look. ”
"Well, you wait, have you eaten, I'll have someone prepare something for you. Li Qian took the script and looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"I ate on the train, Boss, or you eat first. Qi Yukun hurriedly said.
Li Qian waved his hand, "No, I haven't done anything during this time, and I will grow meat if I eat too much." ”
asked people to pour two cups of tea in, Li Qian took a sip, and slowly read the script.
It has been printed, and the cover is two large characters "Funeral Coffin".
It's bad enough.
Then look down, the prototype of the story, Li Qian, knew it before, and it came from the real events in southern Henan.
In the early 90s, most of the people in the village went out to work, and the communication was not developed for several years, and they had no contact for several years.
Suddenly, one day, a charred corpse appeared in the village, and as a result, several families were vying to say that it was their own child, and in the end, the coffin actually changed three owners in just a few days.
And this script is also a bit similar, that is, the son of the head of the small mountain village accidentally killed a ruffian in the same village, and in a panic, he fled with his girlfriend overnight.
As a result, when the body was found the next day, it was charred and difficult to identify, and most of the things that followed were caused by this corpse.
Surrounding this unidentified corpse is one dark side after another of humanity, all of whom have an ugly side to a greater or lesser extent.
Li Qian had an impression of this film, but he didn't expect it to be shot by Qi Yukun.
"There are some things that have to be asked, if you don't ask, it will be pressed on his heart for a lifetime; once you ask it, this stone will be pressed on your heart" This sentence is probably Li Qian's initial understanding of the movie.
"Shoot!"
Li Qian put down the script, gave Qi Yukun a positive answer, and asked, "Old Qi, how do you want to shoot?"
Qi Yukun had a plan for the movie, and immediately expressed his thoughts, "I met an actor from the Jiaozuo Repertory Troupe when I was investigating in southern Henan, and in addition, I plan to use all southern Henan actors, and even some people don't use professional actors." ”
"Is this going to be commercial?" asked Li Qian.
There are many movies that use dialects, and the "Crazy Stone" series is in dialects, but they don't all use local actors.
All the people of southern Henan, not all actors, there is only one purpose for doing this, in order to restore the local atmosphere of the rural areas of southern Henan to the highest level.
If a movie is not real, it must be good, and any real story needs artistic processing to become "good-looking".
Blindly pursuing truth, there is a high probability that it will be "not good-looking"
However, Li Qian also knows who Qi Yukun is, he belongs to the kind of filmmaker who has ideals, and he is engaged in the film industry for ideals, not to be famous, not to please the audience.
Before filming the sequel to "Jaws", he had no other choice, in order to survive, he had to shoot.
After the big sale of "Jaws 2", survival is no longer a problem, it is no longer difficult to make movies, there are many people who are willing to invest, and at this time, he has a higher pursuit.
A director in his 20s, who suddenly became famous, was able to drop everything and go to the countryside of southern Henan alone to find materials, and it took more than a year to find them.
Before, there was still a little round square face, which tended to be square, and it became rectangular directly after a trip.
Li Qian wouldn't do this, but it didn't prevent him from admiring Qi Yukun.
He smiled, "Then shoot as you say, ask for money and ask someone to find Zhao Jun directly." ”
Qi Yukun is a little strange, Li Qian is a typical commercial film director, he has always looked down on the films of those underground directors, he believes that no matter how meaningful the movie is, it must be seen by the majority of the audience, and this kind of meaning is of practical significance.
He couldn't help but say, "Boss, don't you worry about smashing the signboard." ”
"You can't smash it, but you have to shoot it well and shoot it with your heart. ”
Li Qian shook his head, "Niche movies, the audience will not ask for them as commercial blockbusters, but you don't want to make too much of a loss, just like yourself." ”
"I'm lost, my appearance was given by my parents, and I was born with no way. Qi Yukun touched his face and smiled bitterly, because this appearance is obviously the same age as Li Qian, but he looks at least ten years older than Li Qian.
Li Qian smiled, no longer joking, and continued, "It's okay to shoot according to what you said, don't learn from those underground directors, even if it is a realistic and critical film, there must be a positive place, and you must always remember that there are negative aspects in society, but there are also positives, any movie that advertises to be real, only shows one side, or shows too much of one side, it can't be called real." ”
This "Funeral Coffin", also known as "Heart Labyrinth", looks at family affection, extramarital affairs, domestic violence, and local black bullies at a small level, and looks at class discrimination, rural labor loss, and emotional maintenance of left-behind families.
This is not the kind of underground film that shows the darkness of the countryside, and under all the ugliness of rebellion, vanity, autocracy, ignorance, weakness, narrow-mindedness, hatred, desire, and profit is fear.
And the only thing that can help people overcome this fear is kindness and love, people lie based on fear and are honest because of love.
This is a suspenseful movie that reflects the dark side of people's hearts, but there is also kindness and love in it.
......
The Lunar New Year stalls are still in full swing, and the scolding war between Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping has not stopped, attracting many attention.
Not only that, but for the sake of publicity, there are also endless means.
What Ni Ni and Bell's boat drama is all fried.
In an interview, Zhang Weiping talked about the young new Mou girl, saying that the main body of the audience is now the post-90s, do you still let them watch an old half-old being caught?
Half-aged... This immediately aroused a lot of public opinion.
Those thirty or forty-year-old actresses in the circle dare not speak out, they can't afford to provoke Zhang Yimou behind Zhang Weiping.
It was Song Jiji who bombarded Zhang Yimou on Weibo first.
Zhang Weiping also broke the news that Zhang Yimou had been invited by others more than once, but he refused.
In order to attract attention, everything is shaken out.
Yu Dong's side is similar, but his main focus is Li Yuchun, promoting a new generation of chivalrous women in China.
immediately attracted complaints from netizens, and then suddenly a large number of fans of Liu Xin, who was the third runner-up of this year's supergirl, and Liu Xin, who also had short hair, ran out and scolded Li Yuchun for suppressing their idols.
There is no one in this propaganda direction, Xu Ke, Li Lianjie, Chen Kun, and Zhou Xun don't go to speculate, go to fry Li Yuchun.
However, not to mention, the supergirl draft was banned above, and as one of the last super-feminine ones who was quite high, Shonantai was also very popular.
Like Li Yuchun, they all have short hair and conflicting styles, and fans on both sides are scolded together under the deliberate guidance.
However, it is of no use to "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and Yu Dong miscalculated.
This Chinese New Year file is simply a group of demons dancing, coupled with the hit TV series, it is so lively.
Over there, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", in addition to Zhang Weiping's frequent cannoning, was also released in Mi Lijian.
For a time, news such as ""The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was released in North America, and the old man and old lady Mi Lijian wiped away tears crazily!" Such news filled various websites and media.
In addition to participating in the competition for Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Oscars, it was announced yesterday that it had signed up to compete for 13 individual Oscar awards.
Including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor and Actress, and some technical awards.
This painstaking publicity has impacted 13 Oscar nominations, and it has also attracted a lot of ridicule.
Originally, the quality of the movie itself was very good, but the subject matter and the way of dealing with it made the Chinese people feel a little unhappy, and this unhappiness even overwhelmed the high quality of the movie itself.
The movie is never just watching the movie itself, with the blessing of the subjective feelings of most audiences, the movie that was originally enough for seven points looks like a film with less than six points on the Internet, and the scolding continues.
According to professionals, the film completes the values of Hollywood hero movies and Chinese nationalism in a perfect way, trying to please audiences from both the East and the West.
deliberately flattering, but it will be annoying, plus there is also softness, it is not surprising to be scolded.
In this case, the hype of the Olympics not only impacted the best foreign language film, but also the single nomination of the Oscar Thirteen Xiang, which also attracted a lot of saliva.
"It's the Olympics again, can the General Administration take a break, and rush the Olympics with great fanfare every year, but what is the result? The judges in Hollywood have complained about the vision of the General Administration in the past few years. ”
"Lao Mouzi was almost stunned in order to rush to Aodu, the original Libel's character was a serious pastor Mi Lijian, but he was changed to a gangster, and in the movie, he was like the manifestation of the Holy Son and incarnated as a hero who sacrificed his life to save the Chinese woman, which is too obvious to please Mi Lijian's audience. ”
"It's strange that Mi Lijian people can like this movie, those church students in the movie want to commit suicide, and then the Fengchen woman proposes to die instead of them, but Catholicism strictly prohibits suicide, okay, and I still want to please Mi Lijianren, and I don't do enough homework. ”
""The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is better to give up the quota to "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the national teacher has been rushing to the Olympics for the fourth time since "Hero". ”
"Thinking too much, this matter purely depends on qualifications, Li Qian still has to stay up for two years. ”
"To be honest, although Mi Li Jianren will not like to watch "I Am Not the God of Medicine", at least it has the characteristics of our own country and reflects social problems, which is much better than getting a movie starring Mi Li Jianren. ”
"To tell a joke, a movie with high influence, high audience reputation, high box office, high professional evaluation, and high social significance is not qualified to compete for the Olympics, but a movie that is inferior to everything gets a quota, isn't this bureaucracy, whoever has high qualifications and a good background, the quota will be given to whom!"
"I can't say that, the national teacher is also a director familiar to one of the few foreigners, and Li Qian is unknown to anyone in Hollywood. ”
Whenever I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, it's that you have a problem!"
", Li Qian's "Jaws" two-part series made hundreds of millions of dollars overseas, and the overseas copyright of the third part sold for $35 million before it was filmed, which director in China can compare?"
"Editor, editor, what about the data? Why don't you blow more?"
"Scatter coins, search for the news yourself, after Li Qian and Warner cooperated in "Pacific Rim", it was reported that the copyright of "Jaws 3" was sold for $35 million, and Warner announced it himself!"
", it's really, Li Qian is awesome, it sold for 35 million US dollars before it was filmed, 200 million, how do I feel that there is no news?"
"That's Li Qian's low-key, unlike other people, who hype up big things, and people don't care about this at all. ”
"I suspect that you are alluding to a certain ice, going out to rub the red carpet, and issuing an announcement as if you are going out into the world. ”
"The National Day "White Legend" is not the same, participating in the Venice Film Festival, the news is about to swipe the screen. ”
"Li Qian is awesome, I haven't filmed it yet, I remember that there seemed to be news of filming the third part at that time, and I have been waiting for a few years. ”
"Jaws" was not filmed by Li Qian, it has nothing to do with him since the second part, Warner likes this series, it has nothing to do with Li Qian at all, okay, if you blow domestically, Li Qian is not enough to fight abroad!"
"This is hard and black? The first part was not filmed by Li Qian? The second part is not the old book of the first part? It's all a routine!"
"Don't pay attention to this kind of person, just look at the evaluation of Mi Lijianren, the first part of "Jaws" has the highest evaluation, and it is regarded as a classic horror movie!"
"I really think that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is more qualified to rush to the Olympics, this is a representative domestic movie!"
......
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" rushed to the Olympics with great fanfare, and also applied for 13 individual awards other than the best foreign language film, which attracted a large number of viewers to complain about "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and Li Qian once again lay down in the attention.
