Chapter 171: The Script of "The Big Man" (1/5)
The more national, the more global!
It is said that Lao Chen studied this sentence, and then he had "Farewell My Concubine"...
This is all processed by the media of later generations, in fact, "Farewell My Concubine" is Li Bihua's, a very popular story, Lao Chen can't look down on it at all, it took producer Xu Feng a year to understand him...
Moreover, at the beginning, Lao Chen didn't want to use Gong Li, he felt that Gong Li was Xiao Zhang's person...
Ahem, the above is excerpted from "Producer Xu Feng Talks About Behind the Scenes"...
If "Farewell My Concubine" is successfully placed in every actor and every role, it is properly placed.
Then the failure of "Mei Lanfang" lies in the fact that everything is inappropriate, and everything is responding to people
Except for the role of Wang Xueqi, the performance is quiet, but the gestures bring out the pride, charm, style and sadness behind the glitz and glamour of the old people.
Yu Shaoqun's performance is also good, he was born in Chinese opera, and has something in common with Peking Opera, although he doesn't even know how to find a camera seat when filming, but his and Thirteen Yan's scenes are good-looking, young and spicy, and they both have a drama flavor.
So, the best part is the first twenty minutes - the rest is gone...
Especially after Li Ming's appearance...
Li Ming... Really too gentle on yourself!
What's wrong with you losing 20 pounds?
You're an actor!
Yin Zhi, the young bean in "Farewell My Concubine", is also the actor with a high demand in the early stage of the project of "Mei Lanfang", and later, when he joined the group, his main task was to be a stage stand-in for Li Ming.
In the section of "Meilong Town", the full-face camera appeared, and I could see all kinds of dramas, Yin Zhi was very thin and pretty, but Li Ming was a big man, and his face plate was really big!
Contrary to...
Particularly inconsistent...
By the way, Orange Image found someone to write an advertorial, and also 'revealed' a matter of the international chapter, probably that the international chapter wanted to play the heroine of "Mei Lanfang", Mrs. Chen disagreed, and then the gold owner came to the door to let Lao Chen take care of his daughter-in-law...
In fact, it's a black international chapter, anyway, this year's black her's called political correctness!
By the way, all kinds of grievances for Ejiao, after the big photo exhibition, Ejiao is very popular...
I was thinking about the black wave again!
Then, "Mei Lanfang" was released, and the box office on the first day exceeded 10 million, which was not as good as "Wuji" that year, and the box office of "Wuji" on the first day was 11 million!
has been promoted for so long, and the momentum has been so huge, and the box office on the first day has never done "Rescue Mr. Wu"...
Lu Xiaoran was almost relieved.
Of course, the positioning of "Mei Lanfang" is a literary film...
Therefore, he won a box office of 42 million in the first weekend, and then boasted that he had 'set the best results in Chinese literary films in recent years'...
"Rescue Mr. Wu" reported 18 million the next weekend, with a cumulative box office of 158 million...
No way, "Mei Lanfang" accounts for more than 50% of the film schedule...
Also, high-definition piracy on the Internet has flowed out.
In addition, it has been more than 10 days since it was released, and it is optimistically estimated that the box office should be able to increase by another 30 to 50 million...
It is very likely to break 200 million.
Everyone knows that "Mei Lanfang" has lost...
……
Many people suspect that "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed on behalf of others, this is a fallacy...
If you go to watch "Young Brother Kai", you will know how talented Lao Chen is!
Excerpt: When you reach the age of thirteen, you think you are important to the world, and the world is just ready to forgive you for your childishness.
Such sentences are everywhere, powerful through the back of the paper, and seem to come easily.
He wrote it in '99!
"Young Brother Kai" is called "My Hongwei Ice Era" in Japan, and was rated as one of the best biographies of the year by Japanese book critics!
I am really amazed by Brother Chen Kai's prose penmanship.
In fact, Lao Chen should be a literati.
Throughout all his works, the sense of logic is the worst, but the sense of art is the strongest.
When we watch a movie, we pay a lot of attention to the narration and completeness of the story.
But Lao Chen started with "Wu Ji", the story has a beginning and no end, but he can make a lot of analysis of his works, and after listening to it, you will think, oh my God, it is so profound.
What's the use of that?
The emotional resonance we burst out should be in the cinema, not in the analysis.
Even if the story is esoteric, there should be one or two points that tug at the heartstrings of the audience.
You can't read "Mulholland Drive", but you just feel horrified and anxious.
Watching Lao Chen's movies is like following a high-level intellectual to a museum, he walked all the way and talked all the way, and cried when he talked about emotion.
You're completely overwhelmed, but it just sounds like it makes sense.
This is a selfish man of letters, his emotions will not be shared with you, or he simply does not want you to understand.
Therefore, Lao Chen is really underestimated, and his level is not as good as he said, if his art form is replaced by written language, he may be a literary hero.
However, "Mei Lanfang" is really bad, I don't know what to do, and the logic is too bad!
……
Night, hotel room.
Lu Xiaoran sat on the sofa, and Xu Zheng and Yang Qing sat opposite, and the three of them were discussing things.
first talked about the box office trend of "Mr. Wu", and then talked about "Mei Lanfang":
"As expected, a huge mediocrity!"
"There's no way, there are too many restrictions, I said it a long time ago, "Mei Lanfang" is not easy to film!"
Now the topic has entered the several actors in "Mei Lanfang", who played well.
"I think Hong Lei can act, Qiu Rubai's great intellectual energy has been captured by him!"
"Teacher Wang Xueqi is also good!"
"Eh, why don't we boast of Li Ming, he is the protagonist!"
Yang Qing glanced at Lu Xiaoran, who was knowingly asking, and simply said: "He really can't act, that Meipai orchid is like a mallet!"
Lu Xiaoran smiled, noncommittal...
changed the subject: "Lao Yang, how do I think you are so interested in "People in Awkward Journey"?
Yang Qing scratched her head embarrassedly: "I don't think it's boring, I don't want to do it!"
“… Do you have any new ideas?"
"Not yet, I'm now helping my brother to drumble up "People in Embarrassment", and I've learned a lot, after this movie, I'm going to go home for a while..."
Lu Xiaoran nodded, and then asked, "You like Korean movies so much, have you ever watched "Lao Qian"?"
""Lao Qian"?
Xu Zheng was very unhappy: "What Choi Dong-hoon? That's Kim Hye-so's "Old Qian"!"
That's right, it's Kim Hye-so's "Old Qian"...
In the movie "Lao Qian", I almost forgot the plot or anything, but Ms. Zheng played by Kim Hye-so has a perfect face and figure, especially the amazing fruit, which is too charming and amazing...
Lu Xiaoran is very dissatisfied, Lao Tzu is talking about movies, but you are thinking about women?
"Hey, I'm serious!"
“… Okay, you say!"
"After I watched "Lao Qian", I thought of a story..."
Then, Lu Xiaoran told the general story of "The Big Man", and when it was over, he looked at Yang Qing: "Are you interested in this? The script has been preliminarily improved, and the project is also being promoted..."
Yang Qing's eyes lit up: "It's a bit similar to "Police Story"?"
"Yes, but the actor is not so good at fighting, and there are a lot of kind-hearted friends around... Of course, the ending is the victory of good over evil!"
Yang Qing tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and then asked, "Are you going to shoot this movie yourself?"
“… I was going to shoot it myself, but I've been particularly fascinated by another script lately... And I always shoot police and bandits, crime themes, and I'm easy to get tired, but I'm definitely going to play that Zhao Tai!"
Yang Qing nodded: "Yes, I'll go back to the company's screenwriters to improve it..."
"Perfect it as soon as possible, I'm going to find a Korean film director to shoot a script and shoot it, and then China and South Korea will release it simultaneously... It's called a dual-purpose book!"
Xu Zheng interjected: "I don't quite understand, what does this script have to do with "Lao Qian"?"
The scene is a little awkward...
It can't be said that "Big Man" is an adaptation of the Korean movie "Veteran", and the names of these two movies are very similar...
Yang Qing relieved the siege: "... It's all crime!"
Then he asked, "Will South Korea say yes?"
“… I'm in charge of investment and production, and I'm looking for a distribution company to help with the distribution, why don't you agree?" After a pause, Lu Xiaoran added: "If it is really done, we can also be regarded as cultural exports!"
