Chapter 344: It's Not as Delicious as Popcorn

"Oh!"

Zhou Mu and Yu Nian are analyzing the camera.

Cui Ji listened to the two sentences, and simply ate a snack.

Click, click!

He chews on popcorn and stares at the screen. What the opening shot means, he didn't think about it so much, he just felt that this long shot was meaningless.

It's a full four or five minutes.

The camera led everyone to appreciate the prosperity of the ancient city.

Although Cui Ji also knows that this prosperous scene will definitely be reduced to ruins at the end of the movie, which is in stark contrast to this beginning.

The question is, do you want such a long shot?

Cui Ji shook his head, he wondered if Mo Huaixuan wanted to show off his skills. After all, it is more difficult to shoot such a long shot, which tests the director's ability to control and adjust.

From the city gates to the streets, at least a thousand extras appeared.

Ordinary film and television dramas, in crowded streets, a group of tricks walk around, which belongs to the background board. But under Mo Huaixuan's coordination, these extras, each of them have their own reactions, movements, and interactions between people, including the details of passers-by walking and watching the road.

Everything was so meticulous and methodical. Even the children at the entrance of the alley, squatting together and playing with pebbles, are also included.

The seemingly chaotic street scene looks very clean and neat under the lens. Whether it is the composition or the layered texture, it has a unique sense of beauty.

However......

Eggs?

How can ordinary viewers see so many doorways? They will only think, a few minutes into the opening, what about the protagonist?

The shadow of the protagonist is not seen, he is not born or hanging?

Even Cui Ji has such a complaint.

Finally, when the camera was pushed to the pier, a clear river came into view. Small boats, painted boats, shuttling on the river, silk string vocal music is endless.

Slowly, the sky darkened, and it was twilight.

The stars are twinkling.

A small boat stopped on the shore.

It's dark.

Lanterns hang under the rows of eaves. The streets and alleys next to the wharf are becoming more and more lively, with busy traffic and people.

Thump!

Caught off guard, there was movement in the river, and someone on the shore screamed.

Someone has fallen into the water, save someone.

A group of people immediately gathered on the pier and the riverbank, some took off their coats, some took off their shoes, this is the rhythm of going into the water to save people.

At this moment, the camera was pushed to the river, and a young man with a gentle appearance and a jade-like temperament jumped onto the screen.

"This is Zhang Bo?"

Yu Nian frowned, "Jump into the river when you come out?"

"Suicide?"

Cui Ji also felt strange.

Zhou Mu had a strange expression and continued to read.

At this time, two painting boats approached, and five or six literati on the boat hurriedly shouted for "Zhang Bo" in the river to swim over.

"Zhang Bo" looked confused, and it took a while to come to his senses and realize that he was in the water. He looked up at the starry sky, and it was all brilliant and gorgeous.

And then......

"When I am drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy!"

When a poem came into Zhou Mu's ears, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to cover his face. I didn't think there was anything when I was performing, but now that I listen to it, I feel embarrassed.

Shame exploded.

Fortunately, it wasn't him who performed this paragraph.

It's Meng Qingzhou.

“......”

Yu Nian and Cui Ji turned their heads, "You wrote it?"

"Hmm!"

Zhou Mu nodded.

Copyed.

The two stopped talking and watched silently.

After this plot passed, Yu Niancai commented: "I'm not sure, whether Director Zhang Huang fine-tuned the script, or Mo Huaixuan made his own opinions. ”

"But if you want to make 'Zhang Bo' a blockbuster and make the audience feel amazing, then the long shot just now is redundant. ”

Yu Nian shook his head and said: "If the movie wants to take the lead, you must pay attention to the rhythm, it can't be too long, it's easy to drag down." ”

"Yes. ”

Cui Ji agreed, he muttered: "It's a real hammer, that long shot must have been taken by Mo Huaixuan, he felt that he was shooting too well, so he was reluctant to cut it and put the cart before the horse." ”

Zhou Mu thought about it and felt that this might be the truth.

The film is in progress.

"Zhang Bo" went ashore and met the heroine on the brightly lit street.

In the movie, the heroine is set to be the daughter of a petty official, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and her character is very resolute.

Qi Qingxi came to act, but did not have the gentleness of a woman, but had her own heroic spirit.

Her hair is not long, but under the skillful hands of the stylist, she has long hair, a girl's hairstyle, a green white skirt, and a fragrant socks under her feet, light as a swallow.

Lively and girly.

At first glance, Zhou Mu was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Qi Qingxi could really handle such a role.

So among the two green and four dans, Yu Da is really the bottom existence. Others are malleable and can play roles with different images.

Just Yu Da, whatever she plays, she is like herself.

......

The male and female protagonists meet, a bit bloody.

It's nothing more than "Zhang Bo", when he saw a girl walking down from the flower boat, he threw a beaded flower to the other party.

In an instant, it annoyed the girl. You must know that when she goes in and out of the flower boat, she is looking for her father who drinks flower wine, not a female actor.

The misunderstanding of "Zhang Bo" made her angry and slapped the male protagonist directly.

“...... It's changed again. ”

Zhou Mu said softly: "The original script didn't have this paragraph, it should be that the heroine glared at Zhang Bo and regarded him as a frivolous prodigal, and her perception was very bad." ”

"Yes. ”

Yu Nian nodded and said: "In film and television dramas, creating strong conflicts is the highlight. The problem is that this is a biopic, and it should follow the style of a drama. In that era, there was also a certain taboo for everyone to go out, let alone slap a man's face in public. ”

"It's just a hit. ”

Cui Ji didn't care, "Don't pick out details all day long, study the lens or something." The key depends on the plot of the main body and Zhang Bo's growth experience. ”

This is true.

The two men were silent, their attention focused on the movie.

After meeting the heroine, "Zhang Bo" returned home, and was scolded by his father, through the dialogue between the housekeeper and the servant, the audience can know that "Zhang Bo" has fallen, leaving early and returning late every day, drunk and dreaming of death.

The crowd sighed.

As the plot progresses, it is the father of "Zhang Bo" who works in the Governor's Palace, and then is summoned by the "Governor".

"Huh. ”

Zhou Mu and Yu Nian were suddenly surprised.

Because they have read the script and know that there is a plot missing in the middle.

Memories Kill ......

When he was a child, he played with his childhood sweetheart and formed a strong friendship. But the good times didn't last long, and his playmate died of illness, and he was very sad that he was willing to fall.

That's what made him a prodigal. When this memory is filmed, it is equivalent to whitewashing, letting everyone know that "Zhang Bo" is not bad in nature.

"Cut, or didn't shoot?"

Yu Nian frowned again, "Although it is said that without this plot, the rhythm of the movie looks more compact, but some foreshadowing is essential." ”

"Less, this character can't stand, and it's easy to be vain. ”

Zhou Mu agreed, "Those who have studied Zhang Bo naturally know the reason for his fall, but there must be viewers who are not clear." ”

"The purpose of the biopic is to instill and popularize the character of Zhang Bo to the audience, and this paragraph should not be omitted. ”

Zhou Mu speculated, "Maybe readjust and put this memory behind." ”

"Well, it's possible. ”

The two chatted, and the plot of the movie continued.

The imperial history impeached the governor for corruption, and the imperial court sent people to hold them accountable. The governor asked Changshi, the father of "Zhang Bo", to take the blame and promised to keep him safe.

"Zhang Bo"'s father was unwilling, the governor sneered and threatened, and came up with thick evidence, all of which were bastard things done by "Zhang Bo" over the years.

The combination of big and small things will not cost the life of "Zhang Bo", but it is enough to deprive him of his fame.

For the sake of the child's future, the father of "Zhang Bo" could only tremble his palms, his eyes were dim, and he reluctantly submitted to the governor's obscenity.

“...... It's a really good acting. ”

Yu Nian sighed lightly: "The two seniors, when they were young, won the actor. Over the years, he has been concentrating on acting, so his gestures are all plays, which can be called a textbook-level performance. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Mu thought so.

But it didn't work......

No matter how good the performance is, it just serves the movie. If the movie itself doesn't attract people, there will be a situation where it is not popular.

"Zhang Bo" father apologized to the governor.

Next, the dismissal of the official and the seizure of the post are of course. Fortunately, the governor was also afraid that he would die and the net would be broken, so he kept his promise and fished him out of prison.

Zhangfu has suffered a great change, and people are panicking.

When his father was imprisoned, "Zhang Bo" was also worried and anxious, but when he saw his father released, he didn't realize the changes, and he relapsed.

It's just that this time, the scholars and gentlemen who were originally good friends with him no longer pay attention to him. Even the female dancer on the flower boat was alienated and neglected by him.

ridicule, ridicule, ridicule......

The warmth and coldness of the people made "Zhang Bo" confused.

He couldn't stand it anymore, he had a conflict with someone, was beaten by the man's entourage, and threw him directly into a small alley.

At this time, the heroine appeared and rescued "Zhang Bo".

“...... There's also a missing paragraph here. ”

Zhou Mu frowned, "I remember this plot, it should be the third meeting between Zhang Bo and the heroine." The second encounter, it should be Zhang Bo who kindly helped the heroine and carried his drunken father home, and the heroine had a better opinion of him. ”

"It's a big problem. Yu Nian couldn't help but shake his head, looking at the movie, "Zhang Bo" and the heroine had a good impression of each other, and they actually got married directly.

"You're right, Mo Huaixuan compressed the plot. ”

Yu Nian was a little annoyed, "For the sake of time, he cut off many branch details. In this way, the plot is very continuous and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

"But in a movie, some details cannot be omitted. ”

Yu Nian said seriously: "Without details, the audience will be inexplicable, and they don't understand why the emotional attitudes of the characters in the play are changing so quickly." ”

"There's no substance. ”

Zhou Mu commented: "Ordinary viewers may not understand the reason, but their senses will not deceive themselves. That's why I feel that the movie is mediocre and average, but I can't say what the difference is. ”

Click, click.

The two also said that they were bored, so they reached directly into Cui Ji's arms and grabbed a handful of popcorn, and watched the movie while tasting it.

"Buy it yourself. Cui Ji was very disgusted.

The movie is so boring, it's not as delicious as popcorn.
