Chapter 148: Comedy is Not Good (3/5)
I remember that there is a line in "Soldier Assault", which Xu Sanduo said to Chengcai: "Life can't be too comfortable, if it's too comfortable, there will be problems!"
A lot of successful people want to have more beautiful women, this is desire, and desire is unavoidable, this should be something that respects nature.
Everyone has desires, and so does Lu Xiaoran...
But there is a saying: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, courtesy, and humility!
The words and deeds of public figures in many times will have a certain impact on society, people have morality and the rule of law to restrain their behavior, and they cannot do whatever they want and become slaves of desire...
Immanuel Kant said a long time ago: In this world, there are two things that we should look up to for life: one is the bright starry sky above our heads, and the other is the noble moral law in people's hearts!
This kind of ethics is not limited to cheating, cheating, etc...
It also includes many times when you know that you have been kidnapped by morality, but you still have to do it!
We have high requirements for celebrities: too high morality, followed by meritorious service, and then speech.
Mencius once said, "Dogs eat people without knowing how to check them, and they don't know how to eat them when they are hungry", which means that people should not give animals what they eat to eat people, and the king and the rich have the responsibility to help the victims, not to shift the responsibility to the famine.
Therefore, when disaster occurs, we will ask the rich and famous to donate more...
When a person is morally kidnapped, it means that the person has a moral responsibility, but the law may not stipulate it.
Complying with kidnapping, a person will have a good reputation, which will bring potential benefits to people; resist kidnapping, and be drowned out by public opinion every minute.
The morality determined by the saints is only to be observed by the philistine.
Plato said that wisdom and virtue enable the philosopher to make the best choice for the community, while the rest only need to follow and not have to express their opinions.
Of course, if it is only the wishful thinking of a few, then resolutely resist it.
Whether you admit it or not, Lu Xiaoran is already a celebrity...
In addition to not daring, sometimes, he really admires some directors and actors from the bottom of his heart, why do you think they are so energetic?
Even if you have the spirit, you still have so much time!
Lu Xiaoran only has two movies this year, a TV series, and the TV series will start at the end of the year, and he feels that he can't be busy, in this case, there are still unspoken rules?
......
It stands to reason that "Nightclub" has been in theaters for 20 days, and arranging an interview at this time is of little significance to the box office.
But Lu Xiaoran really wants to talk about "Nightclub"...
During this time, he refused interviews with many magazines and media, for a very simple reason, on the one hand, he was still dealing with the later stage of "Rescue Mr. Wu", on the other hand, to tell the truth at that time, it was very likely to have an impact on the reputation of "Nightclub"...
Why do you want to be interviewed by NetEase?
People said the headlines on the front page...
The host is Huang Xinlei, and Lu Xiaoran has never heard of this person.
It's normal that the host who does online interviews at this stage can be regarded as a non-mainstream in the hosting industry.
"This is our script, you see..."
She handed over a page of manuscript paper, Lu Xiaoran roughly skimmed it, and immediately understood: "Okay, there's no problem!"
Huang Xinlei asked cautiously: "Then can I add two sentences to compare "Slam Dunk"?"
“... Yes, "Nightclub" is about to be released anyway!"
......
Tangtang didn't come, she was going to see a friend, who was it, Lu Xiaoran didn't ask...
Anyway, Sugar Candy is very well-behaved and won't do hair...
Lu Xiaoran sat on the sofa, and the camera came over - no video, but a few photos, this is a text interview!
"And here we go?"
"Hmm!"
Lu Xiaoran sat up straight.
"First question, how do you evaluate "Nightclub"?"
"If you look at it purely from the movie, it's incomplete, and the plot is very scattered. From an ordinary supermarket night shift model, it has become someone coming to collect debts, and then it has developed into kidnapping and hijacking. Originally, as a comedy, all the comedy jokes should serve the plot, but at this point, the movie obviously did not do a good job. It's equivalent to you wanting to listen to a funny and humorous story, but when the other party is telling it, the story itself is very ordinary and boring, but from time to time he tells a completely irrelevant joke to make you laugh. ”
"Although the end result is that you laugh on the way to the story, it is not because you hear a funny and humorous story, but because you laugh because of the completely unrelated joke!"
“... So, you're not optimistic about this movie?"
"No, I like it very much, otherwise, I wouldn't have invested, let alone starred, and I also brought in a bunch of good friends!"
"Why?"
"First of all, this is a single-scene comedy, the investment is very low, as long as you choose the right actor, the probability of return is very high!"
"The right actor?"
"Yes," after a pause, Lu Xiaoran continued: "Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are the most suitable actors in China to act in comedy and be the best at comedy, not everyone can do comedy!"
"What do you mean by this?"
"With their own qualifications, they have to be talented, and many actors are born with funny faces, acting skills, and a sense of comedy. I can't do it, so in "Nightclub", the little steel tooth I play is not funny!"
"Secondly, he has to be willing to act in comedy, you know, comedy is very tiring, and it is easy to get depression, comedians are not like idols, it is easy to be regarded as a good singer and be despised by others!"
"Another point is that in doing comedy, from the jokes to the creation itself, there is a party who is forced to sacrifice some dignity. Or self-deprecation, or he laughs, when you are in an enlightened social environment, the audience thinks it is funny, but once the social environment changes, you are a person without sympathy!"
"Teacher Zhao Benshan's "Selling Abduction" is like this, it is accepted by many people, but there are also a group of people who make fun of the disabled, which is very inappropriate! When the latter kind of remarks dominate, Teacher Zhao Benshan has become the target of criticism!
"The really funny jokes are all related to authority, for example, we criticize religion and satirize politics, but these two things can't be done in China at all, so we can only make some vulgar materials, from this point of view, "Nightclub" is really a very good script!"
"Then why do you think Mr. Xu Zheng is suitable for comedy?"
"Because he understands comedy, many people say that the core of comedy is tragedy, which is right in a sense, but to add the word classic, it should be said that 'the core of classic comedy is tragedy', Hollywood has a type of comedy, called, pee and fart comedy, such as "Screaming", "Dumb and Dumb", "Bald Detective" series, these movies have achieved very good box office results, so what do you say is the theme they want to reveal?"
"This idea has influenced many creators, in my opinion, "Nightclub" is just to make you laugh, but Yang Qing has to add a sad ending..."
"The end of pathos?"
"He was going to arrange for the character I played to die, but Xu Zheng and I took turns to persuade him, so he changed it!"
"Persuasion?"
"After all, he is the director, and he is the biggest on the scene, even if we have any dissatisfaction, we have to give him opinions in private..."
"But you are also a director, but also an investor and producer..."
"But this is his film, I have been a director, I know that newcomers want to be respected, if there are any objections, they can be discussed in private, and they should not be put on the table, which has a great impact on the authority of the director!"
“... So, your new movie didn't use ginger smell?"
