Chapter 223 is about to explode again
Haha, Xu Zheng has long hair, it looks so unpleasant. β
"It's too venomous, it's too underspoken. β
β2B... It's intentional. β
"I rubbed it so hard that I drank it all in one gulp. β
"The plane really stopped, and the wall was lit up. β
"I met on the train again, and the combination was so funny. β
"Xu Guangtou is so unlucky..."
"Xu Zheng still has a little conscience, and found out that it was a fake ticket and let him sit on the wall. β
"Uncle... The wall is pierced. β
......
At the premiere, "People in Embarrassment" From the very beginning, Xu Zheng taught his employees a lesson, and there were some uncontrollable laughter in the cinema from time to time.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, which is originally a festive day, and it is the most suitable for watching comedies.
can make the audience laugh, which is the audience's best evaluation of a comedy.
However, Xu Zheng, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't laugh, at the premiere ceremony just now, Li Qian opened his mouth to be the goal of 200 million.
This roasted him on the fire shelf, and there were two blockbusters "Jinyi Guard" and "Big Soldier and Little General" at the same time.
And "Avatar" broke 100 million last week, and the box office of "Love in the City" and "Happy Events in the Flower Field" is not bad, and the competition is so big.
Tomorrow, Li Qian will go back to his hometown for the New Year, pat his ass and leave, leaving him alone to deal with the mess.
Two hundred million, I really thought it was Chinese cabbage, a basket in the ground.
But Li Qian said it all, you can't go back in time, and plug his mouth before he speaks.
Li Qian, who was sitting next to him, also felt that Xu Zheng was a little nervous, and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, just take it easy, half an hour has passed, the audience's reaction is very good, don't worry about the box office." β
"I'm not too worried, mainly... 200 million, it's really too exaggerated. "Xu Zheng is speechless, you can come as soon as you open your mouth, and tell me not to worry.
Li Qian's 200 million yuan is not a blind shout, first of all, the main opponent during the Chinese New Year is a "Big Soldier and Little General".
This film is one or two hundred million, "Jin Yiwei" has been released for eight days, the first week got 56 million, and the second week only got 17 million four days ago, which is quite unsatisfactory, and the audience's reputation is average.
Although "Avatar" was able to break 100 million last week, it continued to be around 10 million in a single day this week, and nearly 40 million in four days, but it was mainly a 3D screen, which did not account for much of the 2D film schedule.
There are enough films, and it is a comedy, not a niche black comedy, and the audience has enough time to watch movies during the New Year, and even many people don't usually watch movies, and they will go to the cinema together as a family during the New Year.
"People in Embarrassment" Li Qian helped him change some details, and Xu Zheng did a good job.
"In fact, the next scene of catching rape is the funniest. "I talked to Xu Zheng about the movie.
Xu Zheng said, "I feel a little deliberate in that scene. β
walked to the wrong door in the middle of the night, but the husband came to catch the rape, and the actor was unlucky to be caught.
"It's deliberate, but it doesn't matter what the plot itself is, the key is the scheduling of the shots. β
Li Qian said with a smile, "Comedy and horror are the most extreme emotions of human beings, and the camera is difficult to schedule, and a lot of designed funny lines are generally used to replace scheduling, such as "Koshihikari Treasure Box" is typical.
In fact, it's not all kinds of reversals and accidents that are the laughing point, the story can be bland, but the camera scheduling determines whether it is wonderful or not, in terms of comedy, the director of Xiangjiang is much stronger, not to mention the most well-known comedy directors, as far as Li Lichi's "King of Destruction", a movie starring Zhou Xingchi, is a very ordinary film, Zhou Xingchi apologized to Wu Meng, a very dull scene, but the skill of this lens scheduling, I have not seen it in a domestic comedy movie, and Ma Xiaogang can't do it. β
Ma Xiaogang is the kind of typical person who uses lines to replace scheduling, but it is a positive example to the extreme, and some other vulgar comedy films rely entirely on lines.
"Lord of Destruction"?
Xu Zheng was a little confused, Zhou Xingchi has a lot of good movies, how can he cite such a mediocre movie.
However, Zhou Xingchi's movies, they have all seen them at their age, let alone professional filmmakers, especially Xu Zheng has to make comedies, and he has watched them all before.
Thinking about it carefully, the scene where Zhou Xingchi pays tuition to Wu Mengda seems to be a fixed shot, with no features.
One hand holds the money and enters the painting from the left, voiceover: Master, tuition!
The other hand enters the painting from the right side and is trying to receive the money, voiceover: Well...
Zhou Xingchi's hand quickly retracted: Slow!
Wu Mengda's hand trembled: What are you doing...
Zhou Xingchi's hand clenched the money: These are my hard-earned money!
Wu Mengda's hand patted Zhou Xingchi's hand, broke his fingers one by one, and took the money: Oh, don't worry, I understand, I will train you to become a talent soon.
Zhou Xingchi's hand snatched the money back from Wu Mengda's hand again: Wait!
Wu Mengda's hand trembled again: What's the matter...
......
Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, a very simple scene, nothing unusual, mainly because Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda had their own laughter in terms of body movements and language.
However, after carefully going through my mind a few times, I found something unusual.
This lens can be said to be shot without any clever skills, and it can be shot by any photography enthusiast.
But even if there is no sound, just watch the subtitles, and think of the two of them as other actors, the effect is not too bad.
A simple scene, the more you think about it, the more difficult it becomes.
"I didn't expect Director Li to have such a deep study of comedy. Xu Zheng was amazed, this kind of ordinary shot, people like him who have specialized in Zhou Xingchi's films have not found anything wonderful.
"I didn't specifically study it, and when I was fine, I just found a piece to pull it, which was just a coincidence. Li Qian shook his head.
"I think Director Li knows so much about comedy, he should make a comedy, and comedy is the movie that people watch the most. Xu Zheng said.
"With Brother Zheng here, there will be no shortage of comedies in China in the future. Li Qian smiled.
......
Then the reaction of the audience at the scene just confirmed Li Qian's words.
When Xu Zheng was found wearing a big red pants and hiding behind a curtain, the laughter of the audience finally couldn't be contained.
"Oh, I'm laughing to death, the adulterer really appeared, the woman is stunned. β
"The red pants are so sexy, look at Xu Zheng and still protect his breasts like that. β
"I think I should change to green panties here, that's amazing. β
"Haha, I'm looking for a junior, and now I'm being treated as a junior, it's really a natural cycle. β
......
It's rude to talk and laugh in a movie theater, but many times when you encounter a funny place, you can't help but laugh and talk to your peers, which is especially obvious in a quiet movie theater.
As the film was shown, there were some small laughs that had not been heard much since the opening.
On the screen, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang chased the female liar to a courtyard and saw the dilapidated outer wall, which was a kindergarten.
The female crook is a kindergarten teacher, and this dilapidated kindergarten is full of abandoned children, more of an orphanage than a kindergarten.
The female teacher can't find money anywhere, and the people above don't do anything, and there is no money to come down, and no one believes you when you tell people outside, and no one cares, so you can only come out to beg and cheat.
There are some changes from the original version, in the eyes of the audience, this must be an exaggeration, but as far as China is concerned, there are actually a lot of such things.
The year before last, CCTV and many TV stations broadcast an advertisement, a simple middle-aged man, struggling to carry a bag of food on his back to climb the stairs, the voiceover of the advertisement issued a low voice: I am a parent of 103 children, the children do not study and have no way out, the school is built by themselves, and the teachers are their own ......
The parents of 103 children are middle-aged men who run a school dedicated to adopting street children.
At that time, the fireworks and firecrackers in the neighbor's house exploded due to improper storage methods, which seriously affected his family. The wife was blown up all over her body, and even getting out of bed with shoes on became a luxury, and the child's delicate little face was almost disfigured, unable to eat from her mouth, and she was also burned.
Later, he carried his wife, who could not walk, and led his sick and disabled children to the streets, begging for a living, and the family once died.
In the end, it was the China Charity Federation that helped the family, paid for their treatment, and opened the school after life returned to normal.
An ordinary person who once faced a desperate situation is much more difficult to bear the life and education of 103 children than the female teacher in the movie.
There is reality, but it looks clichΓ© in a movie, and there is no way to do it, commercial films, especially commercial films that show positivity, are unavoidable.
Immediately after leaving the kindergarten, the two saw that there was a lottery and won a van.
Seeing this, Li Qian secretly shook his head, "Brother Zheng, this is a mediocre plot, and it is expressed with mediocre scheduling." β
The movie he worked so hard to make was criticized, and Xu Zheng was not angry, after all, he is a rookie director, and Li Qian is indeed a famous director with a single box office of more than 400 million.
Some students who are still in school may not be able to accept anything bad about his work, and can only listen to criticism, but Xu Zheng is not.
"Director Li, then how should this be handled, how to get this car?" Xu Zheng asked very modestly.
"The way is still the same, this kind of winning is available in many places, especially in the county and the countryside, where it is common to smoke motorcycles and televisions. β
Li Qian thought for a while, and then said, "The two of you were walking on the street, talking about having no money to withdraw money, and suddenly one of you looked ahead, so you went to touch the lottery and draw a car.
The place should be slowed down a little longer, the camera is set, one of them goes to the bank or the toilet or something, and the other is idle and looks around.
The character setting of the wall is kind-hearted but likes to be greedy for a little cheap, for example, you go to withdraw money, he is hanging out here, and he is attracted by a propaganda horn to watch, and he finds such a place where two dollars to draw a car, and when you come back, you will be pulled alive and dead to touch the prize, no matter what you say as a successful person, this is a lie, he has to draw.
There are some details in the movie that are very important, more inconspicuous, less abrupt, and with such a plus, is the contrast and contrast even stronger?"
After going through it in his mind a little, Xu Zheng sighed, "Hearing Director Li say this, I really have a feeling of sudden enlightenment." β
Just add such two simple lenses, and the effect is completely different.
Let's not say that this plot will be more natural, and the contrast between the two protagonists will also come out.
The core of the word "embarrassment" in the title of the movie is the big boss and the grassroots, two pairs with very different identities, and their experiences along the way.
Smoking a car for two dollars on the side of the road, not only successful people and big bosses will not believe it, because as the boss, he has done countless similar promotions, which is very clear.
Ordinary people and the audience will not believe it, only the simple Niu Geng will believe that he wants to draw a lottery, not only Li Chenggong makes fun of him in his heart, but the audience will laugh at him.
However, it was really drawn.
Bang bang bang in the face.
The effect comes out.
"What a ghost. Xu Zheng muttered in a low voice.
"What did Brother Zheng say?"
"Nothing. β
Although it's just two very simple shots added, even if a layman hears it, oh, that's it, everyone wants to get it.
However, the screenwriter didn't expect it, and Xu Zheng didn't expect it when he was in the post-processing, Li Qian said it so casually.
After a lot of ideas are spoken, I feel that there is nothing difficult about it, that's all?
But that's it, I didn't expect it yet.
Fortunately, Li Qian doesn't make science fiction films, otherwise he wouldn't be robbing his job.
Then Xu Zheng continued to ask Li Qian for advice on the scenes in the movie, correct his attitude, and put on a studious appearance.
Li Qian also knew everything, and talked to him about his thoughts on the movie.
There are many details in this movie, Li Qian mentioned it to Xu Zheng before, and the handsome guy who suddenly appeared must not have it.
Some places have been optimized, but after all, it is not his own film, Li Qian cannot consider everything, and he does not have so much energy to study, and the finished film still has some flaws.
But, even so, it's a very smooth, mature, and successful road comedy.
The two people in the front row exchanged ears there, causing a reporter to unconsciously take a photo.
However, it was only after the shooting that I reacted.
"Am I stupid, what do two big men shoot, Xu Zheng is almost a woman's child. β
scolded in his heart and continued to stare at the big screen with relish.
Not to mention, Li Qian's movie supervised by Xu Zheng, a rookie, is really interesting.
......
A premiere ended successfully with the audience's incessant laughter, and Xu Zheng's first debut film was also a complete success.
The next thing was that he and Wang Baoqiang were busy, and Li Qian stepped on the plane home on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the rest of the matter was nothing to do with him.
On February 14, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the movie was officially released nationwide.
Li Qian himself is a golden sign of fast pure gold, more reliable than any big star, and the audience who watched the premiere after the premiere of the movie was all praised.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is nothing to do, which industry and students have nothing to do, and it is a comedy movie, and the previous trailer is also very funny.
In the laughter and laughter of theaters across the country, "People in Embarrassment" ended the first day of screening, and won a super high box office of 13.5 million with 28% of the scheduled films.
The audience was happy.
But the peers were not happy.
Everyone knows that the movie produced by Li Qian is about to explode again!
