Chapter 122: A Good Movie (2/5)
What does it take to make a good movie?
Good subject matter, perfect plot, strong publicity, strong lineup (actors, directors, editors, photography, art, costumes, soundtrack, editing, etc.), strong production company.
Why did Lu Xiaoran make such a theme an absurd comedy?
Because comedy is more acceptable!
Also, when your movie has Ge You + Huang Bo, the audience subconsciously thinks that this is a comedy, then you should meet expectations, otherwise, "Two Tigers" will be the end - when it was promoted, it was said that it was a comedy, but after watching the movie, I found that this thing was the director's life insight...
And the perception is a sentence that everyone knows: people should cherish the present!
And it is also told by the life experience of a rich man: cherish what you already have, and don't be kidnapped by desire!
This is a typical right-wing idea - I'm sorry, the movies that can be recognized by the public are the stories of small people...
……
Tan Fei's profession is a film critic, a planner, and he has also invested in some movies, and he has a lot of status.
He planned "The Yangtze River", supervised the films "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff" and "Huge Deal", planned the TV series "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", "My Life" and "Oolong Love", and produced the TV series "Dinner on the Tip of the Tongue" and "Hidden Marriage Diary".
To put it simply, it is a public knowledge in the film and television industry.
It can be seen from his works that he is good friends with Hua Yi - let's put it this way, most of the well-known film critics in the circle have a good relationship with Hua Yi.
After all, it was the leader back then.
The film industry is not only the producer, distributor, and projector, but also has many other industry chains, such as film critics, film experts, film professors...
These three categories are all dependent on the film industry.
Do you see that there are film critics in Africa?
At the Shanghai Film Festival, the first screening of "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", Tan Fei also came...
Of course, he watched the film with an 'impartial' attitude.
After all, he respects Uncle Ge very much.
The first scene of the opening scene of the movie sets the tone for the whole film: the absurdity hidden in the cracks of life, which makes people laugh and feel a faint sadness at the same time...
The band's lead singer, Geng Hao, roared on the stage in an exaggerated manner, and the audience was less than thirty people...
Back backstage, musicians with long hair and corpse face makeup changed their domineering appearance on stage, and several people talked about their fear of the future, they were worried about their livelihoods, and talked about life.
“… Is this Ning Hao?"
Tan Fei vaguely recognized the true identity of the musician and couldn't help but smile......
In the transition, Geng Hao went back to the suburbs where he rented, and saw a small suite of less than thirty square meters, and Zhang Xiaofei was sleeping...
Wake her up, Geng Hao took out the boxed lunch: "Let's eat something!"
“… Eat a fart!"
"If you don't eat it, let your child eat a little!"
“… Eh, I'm pregnant, can you let me see your parents?"
"Of course!"
Huang Bo's expression was a little complicated...
In the transition, a touch of green comes into view, the dark brown stone house, the middle school in the town is holding a school sports meeting, and the music teacher played by Uncle Ge directs his band to play... The secret that can't be said...
……
"Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", the story is very simple, the rock singer Geng Hao, who is difficult to make a living in Beijing, wants to return to his hometown to visit relatives because his girlfriend is pregnant, during which his father unfortunately suffers from cancer, and the father and son, who have been estranged for many years, staged a plain and humorous sketch drama on the island...
is obviously a major event of life and death, but it was photographed by Lu Xiaoran very absurdly!
The first thing the father said when he saw his son was, "You were still alive, I thought you were dead."
When he learned that his son not only didn't make a name for himself in Tokyo, but also had to rely on his girlfriend to support him, he picked up the fruit that had just been put on the table and threw it at Geng Hao, and his son was stunned for a second and then fought back in the same way.
The first conflict between father and son was quite fierce but did not develop towards embarrassment, the father, who was still chasing his son all over the house, picked up the phone and informed the neighbors the next second: the son is coming home, and he has brought his pregnant daughter-in-law!
For a while, the islanders came to the house to celebrate, and it was very lively.
Comedy, the dramatization of the details of life...
The seemingly plain and quiet homecoming life began to take a turn after his father fell ill.
In order to take care of his father, Geng Hao postponed his plan to return to Beijing.
The contradiction between father and son is also slowly dissolving unconsciously.
Father and son, who are not good at expressing emotions, care about each other in their own clumsy and jerky ways.
In addition, throughout the play is Zhou Jielun's music, which repairs the hidden bond of the father-son relationship.
Uncle Ge's setting is Zhou Jielun's fan brother, teaching children symphony music in schools on the island, and the passage where he insists on running to the roof of the building to conduct in the air after being seriously ill and hospitalized makes people want to cry and laugh.
Then the son took the place of his father and performed the symphony in a rock way...
Geng Hao asked his father: What other wishes do you have before you die?
Uncle Ge wrote on the paper: Jay!
So, Geng Hao pretended to be "Zhou Jielun" to see his father at night, and the old father, who fulfilled his wish to meet his idol, shouted and screamed, happy like a child...
At the end of the story, the father who fulfilled his last wish left in an absurd way at his son's wedding...
The son and daughter-in-law left the island on a boat...
With the prelude to "Sunny Day", Huang Bo shouted towards the dock: "I will definitely get ahead!"
End of the movie!
Of course, in addition to the main content, the side content is also very rich.
For the daughter-in-law who is about to marry and join the family member, the mother gives more understanding and tolerance...
When you cook together, teach yourself the tips of eating one by one...
Geng Hao inadvertently revealed that in addition to rock 'n' roll in Beijing, he mainly made a living by doing nail art for people...
Mom smiled...
Also, in the first half, under the persuasion of his parents, Geng Hao took his daughter-in-law to prepare to return to Beijing, but he came back halfway - he couldn't rest assured at home!
The mother seems to be indifferent, but with the help of "Langya Bang" being broadcast on TV, when Mei Changsu and the Nihuang County Lord recognized each other, she hugged Geng Hao and kept muttering, "Great, great", it seems that she is happy because of the plot, but in fact she is happy for the return of the child.
Life is like that, it's bland, it's warm...
……
At the end of the movie, Tan Fei took off his glasses with satisfaction, wiped them, and then put them back on...
Tan Fei is very satisfied with such a movie.
Soothing with a touch of warmth...
What would happen if someone else made such a subject?
Fengzi got married and joined as a daughter-in-law of a family member, and her mother accepted it so kindly?
If you don't have a 20-episode tear, how can you be worthy of such a setting?
No matter how bad it is, you should learn from the sixth master and have a teaching about the rules...
Lu Xiaoran is different, let go of these, and start with the details of life.
Like a clear spring, there is a fresh, warm breath in the face.
It's definitely a good movie!
