Chapter 20 Rules
In fact, from Lu Xiaoran's point of view, the biggest problem with "Can I Say" is the scattered narrative.
The main body of the story is not concentrated, and there are a lot of branches.
The first half of the plot is a bit too much...
How to make socially and historically significant events into a film and be appropriate and reasonable has always been a difficult problem for filmmakers.
Of course, a movie can mobilize our emotions, make people cry, and even bring reflection to the audience, in a sense, enough!
It's like "Donkey Gets Water", many people say that it has too strong drama and stage sense, not like a movie - but these people are full of praise for "Dogtown", I suspect they haven't seen "Dogtown", but have only heard of it, because "Dogtown" is to put the stage on the big screen, purely in the form of drama.
The feminism and bureaucracy of "Donkey Gets Water", the satire of small intellectuals, these are enough!
Returning to "Can I Say", its foothold is full of justice – confronting the pain of history and defending human justice.
It's a great blessing that such a movie can be released!
Moreover, the box office and word-of-mouth are very good, and they have won a lot of praise - sweeping away the sluggish status quo of domestic films in the past two months...
……
"I've been researching the market lately, and I have to say that just telling a good story is no longer enough for today's audience. There are so many movies that the audience can choose from, and movies from all over the world can be released in our country, and the audience is no longer satisfied with a good story, but also the emotions and feelings that the movie needs to carry, and it is also an important voting tool for the audience. ”
"If a movie wants to succeed, in addition to the most basic narrative maturity, it must also carry a part of the ability to empathize!"
"The so-called empathy ability must be related to reality, so the realist theme will usher in a peak period of development. ”
"But now it's too hard to find a script like this..."
"It's so sad to review this level..."
Ning Hao chatted with Chen Zhixi about the current situation of domestic films, and Huang Bo talked to Lu Xiaoran about Xu Guangtou.
Huanxi Media has absorbed a group of directors - Zhang Yibai, Chen Kexin, Wang Jiawei, and even Gu Changwei have been included in the command, and the signed directors also include Jia Zhangke, Wen Jun, Wang Xiaoshuai, Liu Xingang, Li Yang...
This force is very strong, put aside twenty years ago... Or ten years ago, enough to form a powerful force!
Now...
It's really hard to make waves - the most front-line resources are in the hands of oranges!
In the past two years, Xu Guangtou has been silently opening up relationships.
It is impossible for an orange to cover the sky with one hand, and Lu Xiaoran is not the kind of person who has to catch up with people.
Otherwise, Tang Ren would have been gone a long time ago!
"He's been supporting new directors lately, and they should be in a movie in a while..."
"What movie?"
"'Where Did Time Go'..."
"Isn't that the name of a song?"
"No, it seems to be a collection of short films created by five famous directors..."
"Five?"
"Jazhangko, Walter Sellers, Alecky Fedochko, Madhar Bandaka, Jamel Quibika..."
Lu Xiaoran: "... I've only heard of Jia Zhangke and Walter Sellers..."
Walter Sellers, Brazilian director, representative works "Central Station", "Motorcycle Diaries"...
By the way, "The Motorcycle Diaries" tells the story of a young Che Guevara who travels around South America on a motorcycle, inspiring a whole new world view...
Also, Che Guevara is the leader of the Cuban revolution, not the one who stole the battery car!
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoran probably knows what type of movie "Where Has Time Gone" is - a dull literary film!
Then it doesn't matter...
Even if "Where Has Time Gone" can be a big hit, he won't care...
There is a phenomenon that since 12 years, literary films have become more and more sluggish, whether it is domestic or overseas, especially in overseas markets!
Orange and MK2 are strategic cooperation, and they will still supply five to eight domestic literary films to MK2 every year, and the account sharing has been getting lower and lower in recent years...
TV stations are reluctant to buy Chinese literary films anymore!
Waving his hand, he asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
Huang Bo smiled: "I'm just telling you..."
"I'm not interested in outsiders, and there's a lot of things about oranges..."
Lu Xiaoran really doesn't pay attention to Xu Guangtou at all, he does what he likes to do.
……
Wang Jiajia was very curious about Lu Xiaoran.
This is normal.
The actress who was curious about him in the circle went to sea.
The entertainment industry is an extremely special industry because its industry model is really different from other industries!
The competition in this industry is too fierce, no one is irreplaceable, the old people have not yet grown old, and the newcomers have already come up one by one.
If an artist wants to get ahead, he has to find someone to support him!
The bigwigs who have resources in their hands will also consider who is worth promoting.
can become Lu Xiaoran's heroine, either she is recommended by Tangtang, or she is very famous in her own right...
He rarely auditions.
How important are resources?
No resources means that no matter how hard you try, you won't have a chance!
Everyone knows that the top resources are in the hands of Lu Xiaoran, and if you can play with him, you will become famous...
But few actresses have seen Lu Xiaoran with their own eyes, the reason is very simple, he doesn't like to socialize and don't like to participate in drinking parties.
If you want to send warmth to your door, there is no way!
And his circle is closed ...
This time in "The God of Medicine", she really feels that she is very lucky, so of course, she must seize such a good opportunity, taking advantage of Huang Bo to go to the toilet, she picked up her wine glass with a smile on her face: "Director, I am from Nortel's director department..."
Lu Xiaoran paused for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "... You called me?"
"That's right!"
“… Hello. ”
"My teacher is..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Lu Xiaoran stood up: "Jiajia's words just now reminded me... I'll say a word!"
A group of people stopped talking nonsense and looked at him, Lu Xiaoran continued: ""The God of Medicine" is Wen Muye's play, he is our only director here, whether it is in the crew or in private, everyone calls my name, my name is Lu Xiaoran, don't call me director!
This is for Fumikino Tatsui!
Wen Muye previously filmed "Chinese Partner" and "City in Love", the first part was a blockbuster and shocked the film industry;
The second part is co-directed, a very mediocre love collection work created by a group of young directors.
"The God of Medicine" is his third film.
To create the script, he did a lot of fieldwork, interviewed a bunch of leukemia patients, and talked to reporters from Southern Weekly who had previously reported on Lu Yong.
By the way, the script of "The God of Medicine" has been written six drafts, from a relatively literary and plain story at the beginning, to this popular and touching script!
However, the cast team of "God of Medicine" is too luxurious, Lu Xiaoran, Huang Bo, Wu Jing...
Compared to these people, Wen Muye's weight is obviously not enough to see!
Lu Xiaoran needs to say this...
In a movie like "The God of Medicine", there can't be two voices...
Lu Xiaoran hasn't taken on a foreign drama for a long time, but rules are rules!
