Chapter 111: Rejection (4/8)
The most common mistake a screenwriter makes as a director is to understand the whole story completely from the creator's point of view!
The most typical ones are "Panting" and the recently released "The Man Caught by the Light"...
These two directors are screenwriters, the director of "Panting" is solemn, graduated from the New York Film Academy, and started his work as a screenwriter, and one of the screenwriters of "Baby in Love" is him...
And then tinkered with "Panting"...
The narrative is messy, and all the characters, events, and clues are explained at the beginning of the movie, which is dazzling.
It's too complicated, and the problem comes later.
The picture is constantly cut, and the characters are constantly jumping out, which makes the time logic and character reflection of several clues unreasonable.
But he himself understands the story - you know that there is an egg, and the audience can't understand it!
This is very typical of the confusion;
"The Man Caught by the Light" is another kind of thing, which is called the disconnection between personal interests and the mainstream public - after the sudden cataclysm, the survivors begin to question why they and their spouses are not true love?
Some high-scoring film critics wrote: If they are all commercial blockbusters with the main theme, no one will pay attention to the lives of ordinary people.
Big brother, what misconceptions do you have about the lives of ordinary people?
Of course, "Nightclub" doesn't have so many things, in fact, if you look closely, "Nightclub" is just a patchwork sketch...
The plot structure borrows from "Night Raid on a Gas Station", and many lines copy "Vulgar" and "Kidnapping and Robbery"...
Especially the part where the robbers robbed is completely the Chinese version of "Vulgar".
In this regard, Yang Qing's explanation is this: 'I like their movies very much, and they do have references. ’
It's a bit of a scoundrel in it - this is Lao Tzu's debut, it's good to watch it, so demanding?
Although Lu Xiaoran also felt that it was inappropriate, fortunately, there were not many such bridges...
And the localization is okay, at least it's not so abrupt and embarrassing...
......
This hotel is five-star, and there are not many places to spend money on "Nightclub", and the filming schedule is only one month, so of course the accommodation conditions for the actors must keep up.
After asking for a cup of coffee, Lu Xiaoran sat in the corner of the hall, waiting for Yu Rongguang while casually flipping through a book - "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
I bought it some time ago when I was visiting a bookstore...
Martial arts is better than some serious literature!
I was fascinated by it, and a familiar voice sounded: "... Aren't you sleeping?"
"Brother Yu... Six hours of sleep is enough... This is, Gao Dao?"
"I'm high!"
"Hello... Please be seated!"
Lu Xiaoran's eyes lit up, and the director was high...
Is this going to talk about "Three Kingdoms"?
He likes Gao Xixi, "The Sky of History", that drama is a bit similar to "Ming Dynasty 1566", it is not popular, although it is a war drama, but the description of the war is only a small part of it, the highlight of this drama is that it truly portrays the complex political struggle at that time, and it is not the kind of Wei Guangzheng...
But he is a director in the system and belongs to the art troupe - that's why he collaborates with Yin Tao in so many TV series, which is assigned by the art troupe!
"You're making a movie?"
"Yes. ”
"It's not simple, I heard that this time you are also an investor and producer?"
"Small fights, low-budget comedy..."
Lu Xiaoran really didn't think there was anything, the investment in "Nightclub" was not enough for his salary for a play!
But in the eyes of the outside world, he is on the way to the mountain...
He invests in making movies, the actors make their own decisions, and the director is also selected by him...
Yu Rongguang glanced at Gao Xixi, and then asked, "Xiao Lu, after the filming of this drama, what are your plans?"
“... There is a gap of about a month, Director Gao, I like the story of "Three Kingdoms", can you see if I can play Sun Ce?"
"Is it only a month?"
"Well, starting in April, I have to prepare a new movie..."
"The new movie?
"Yes, Brother Yu, do you know about this too?"
Yu Rongguang smiled bitterly: "Of course I know..."
Forget about this stubble!
It seems that Zhuge Liang is unlikely to let him act!
Gao Xixi didn't want to give up, so he simply asked, "What do you think of Zhuge Liang?"
“... How else can you look at it? The real name of the teacher is in the world, who is worthy of the middle of the world for a thousand years!"
Zhuge Liang's folk status is very high, a feather fan and a Kong Ming lantern have become symbols of Chinese wisdom and virtue, and he is already a person standing on the altar!
He had an extraordinary encounter, and he received the gift of the monarch's three visits before he left the grassland. It is rare for courtiers through the ages, and as soon as it comes out of the mountain, it will be reused by the master. Not only the two generations of monarchs, but even Cao Cao and Sun Quan all respected him.
Holding upright, Liu Bei is entrusted by the country, he does the king's affairs as a minister and does not covet the big position, and the family has no money to spare after his death, which is not only a model of loyal ministers through the ages, but also a model of a clean official through the ages.
The intellect is superb, not only the governance of the country is known as the Yapi of the management of Xiao, but the study of governing the army has also been recited through the ages.
After Sima Zhao was in Shu, he couldn't wait to learn his method of governing the army.
Throughout Zhuge Liang's life, the difficulty of the beginning is high, the ending is prosperous, and all kinds of cheats and shameless methods are never used in the middle, just play in a dignified manner.
A loyal, incorruptible, capable, and extraordinary image of a perfect person...
Since the two Han Dynasty, there has been no equal, and he is the first person in three generations.
"Do you want to take on the challenge?"
“... I don't have time!"
"It's okay, we can wait... Moreover, the schedule is not absolute, and now many actors are filming several dramas at the same time, which is normal. ”
Lu Xiaoran was choked for a moment, and then said cautiously: "..."Rescue Mr. Wu" I am a director, not an actor..."
The actor can roll the scene, and the director can try it?
Put down your own crew and go to another crew to borrow the east wind?
He is not Wang Jing, he can switch to three crews in one day!
Gao Xixi sat on the chair, looked at him for a while, and said slowly: "Then there is no way, in fact, I really want you to try Zhuge Liang!"
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Gao... In fact, Sun Ce is not bad, brave and good at fighting, Jiangdong Tiger!"
"After all, it's "Three Kingdoms", and there are so many heroes!"
"So, I'm already very satisfied to be able to participate..."
Yu Rongguang sighed: "In this way, there will be no rivalry between the two of us!"
Lu Xiaoran looked at him, and then asked, "Old Yu, who are you playing?"
"Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!"
“...”
Lu Xiaoran's expression was a little strange...
"What's wrong? I can't play Guan Yu?"
"No, I'm thinking that you and Teacher Lu Shuming seem to be about the same age..."
Teacher Lu Shuming, the actor of Guan Yu in the old version of "Three Kingdoms", was born in 1956, and Yu Rongguang, born in 1958, is only two years old, but it feels like a generation apart!
It's like Lao Guo and Lin Zhiyin are actually the same age, where do you care?
