Chapter 137: Tangtang Wants to Act in an Idol Drama, So I Wrote a Script (3/5)
"Fireworks in the Day" plummeted 65% on the first working day, closing 10.5 million in a single day...
set a record for the largest decline in Lu Xiaoran's movie.
There is no need to say anything from the outside world, this movie has an investment of less than 8 million, won the Berlin Golden Bear, the Best Actor Silver Bear, and the box office is also very gratifying.
Although word-of-mouth is polarized, some film critics even say, 'Lu Xiaoran doesn't understand film noir at all!'
In the auditorium of Fudan University, Lu Xiaoran said very frankly, "Of course I will also read film critics, but our country lacks powerful film critics, I heard that Teacher Dai Jinghua is very prestigious, so I watched her lecture, that issue happened to talk about film noir, I still agree with what she said at the beginning, until she gave an example of film noir, said "Rocky", she said "Rocky" is a very typical film noir, and immediately broke my cognition...'
"It's a film noir with a gloomy tone, pessimistic mood, cynicism and a crisis of humanity. It's from black literature and black humor!"
""Rocky" is a very typical inspirational film, the script creation follows all the patterns of inspirational films, and anyone who understands movies should not classify "Rocky" as a noir film!"
"Since then, I haven't read any so-called authoritative film critics..."
A film expert on the stage was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Many people feedback "Fireworks in the Day", Wu Zizhen played by Yuan Quan is not expressive enough, and there is no feeling of a femme fatale. ”
"I'm a movie from a male perspective, and I don't want to rely on the classic plot mode of film noir, that is, the detective falls in love with a femme fatale, I don't think the woman is necessarily a femme fatale, maybe she is powerless..."
But this setting makes the sense of power lost. ”
"But if she's a femme fatale, why should the detective fall in love with her? I don't like that!"
Lu Xiaoran continued: "Many people ask me what 'Fireworks in the Day' wants to express, and my answer is, I don't want to express anything, I just want to make a movie that I want that is in line with my perception of crime films! The absurdity of life lies not in its extreme truth, but in the fact that truth itself has no value. It's the same with movies, especially auteur films!"
……
At the end of the event, Lu Xiaoran politely declined the request to eat together and returned to the hotel.
After the company went public, Lu Xiaoran wrote on Weibo that he would donate three sets of drama rehearsal halls and photography equipment worth 20 million to Nortel - why not donate money directly?
Hehe...
You tell me?
He also donated a library of Shaanxi Normal University...
Why donate to Shaanxi Normal University?
Because Lu Mingzhe is an associate professor at Shaanxi Normal University, oh, after donating, he will become a full professor...
All major colleges and universities welcome Lu Xiaoran.
In this promotion of "Fireworks in the Day", Lu Xiaoran only attended three places: Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen - too busy.
The main propaganda tasks are all handed over to Liao!
Liao Fu is really, all kinds of praise for Lu Xiaoran, and by the way, the news of Lu Xiaoran's new work was revealed:
"After reading the script of "Fireworks in the Day", I was very excited, halfway through the script, I would be creepy, in a certain scene, or a certain clip. This kind of opportunity is very rare for actors, and it may only be like this once or twice on the way to acting, so I told the director that I must act in this scene!"
"Director Lu always says that he is not good at regulating actors, which is really a modest statement, he himself is a Venice actor, and he is very experienced in regulating actors!"
"For example, the restrictions on the actors are very small, and it is very lenient whether it will make you have to do anything, and he will have a complete communication with the actors before the shooting, in order to save the time of communicating on set. ”
"Before the re-filming of "Fireworks in the Day", he did a complete script reading with us, so that we could find the relationship between the characters and the characters by ourselves..."
"I'm not going to be a director... Talent is not enough, especially compared with Director Lu, I especially like a few paragraphs of his in this film, especially personal expression of emotions, especially poetry and painting. ”
"Will we cooperate in the future?"
"He has already sent me the script, it is a commercial film, called "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it is a big production, and actors from China, Japan and South Korea have participated..."
……
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" hasn't been established yet!
Lu Xiaoran didn't plan to shoot in the mainland this time - I always felt that the mainland had nothing to do with treasure hunting.
The cast is still being planned, but Liao Fu will definitely participate, and there is no need to give up the Berlin actor who was held by himself!
And Liao is annoying as an actor, both good and evil, playing both decent and villains, versatile!
He is now discussing with Zhong Lifang about "Star You".
“… Now a lot of people are asking me, are you crazy!"
"How?"
"I won the Golden Bear Award, and then I started filming an idol drama!"
“… What's wrong with idol dramas? I'm sure to make it into a high-quality product, and even export it to Southeast Asia!"
"You have the ability to export to South Korea!"
“… What's the matter? "Step by Step" can be sold in South Korea!"
""Step by Step" is a Qing palace drama, and it has an export advantage!"
Lu Xiaoran was very unhappy: "What do you say are the TV series we export to the outside world? "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Step by Step Shocking" are all braid dramas, and foreigners still think that we live in the Qing Dynasty, what do you think above?"
“… Ahem..."
Lu Xiaoran: "This is a promise to Tangtang, she has long said that she wants to play the number one female in the idol drama, so I wrote her "You from the Star"!"
"You really should see what your fans have to say!"
“… When I watched it, I was clamoring to take off the powder..."
"If only you knew!"
“… Sister Zhong, "Star You" has an investment of 200 million, and we have received 180 million advertising sponsorships, and Beijing TV, Dragon TV, Mango TV and even CCTV have quoted prices... This project is definitely profitable!"
"Whatever, you're the boss anyway, you can play as much as you want... By the way, Lao Mouzi signed a director's contract, when will we develop the development conference?"
"So fast, how much did you pay for the signing?"
"16 million..."
“… So cheap?"
"He is a director, not a capitalist like you, he has pursuits!"
"Okay, you go and prepare, and hold a press conference to welcome the arrival of the national teacher!"
"You have to come too!"
“… Of course, I'm definitely going to play!"
……
Weibo's recent daily active users have risen to 30 million!
The entertainment industry is really where accidents happen!
Think about it, even when the epidemic happened, there was an idol who shouted 'Come on Wuhan', but sold masks behind his back - the idol Huang Moumou who came out of "In the Name of the Group"...
The absurdity of life is far more than the fiction of online articles!
Whether it is Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhen Bullet Incident or Knife Teaching, they all regard Weibo as the first position!
Now, there is one more one: the two broke up, and Zhang Yimou joined Orange Images!
