Chapter 300: Mr. Tree
Approaching the Spring Festival, the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala are basically ready, and the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is Shi Jin.
Shi Jin is a film director who has not been the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala before.
This is also the Spring Festival Gala in seeking innovation and change, with the beginning of the new century, people's entertainment methods are increasing, the Spring Festival Gala is not so indispensable, the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala is not as unbeatable as before.
Another reason is that the programs of the Spring Festival Gala are becoming more and more "great", with too many political elements, so they are not as funny as before.
Of course, there is also the improvement of the aesthetics of the whole people, in the previous era of lack of entertainment, funny jokes have not been as endless as now, plus the people of that era performed exquisitely, and the natural performance effect was surprisingly good, but now it is not good, everything can not go back to the past.
Shi Jin immediately recruited people after becoming the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, he has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 30 years, and his connections are very wide.
Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, small fresh meat, and old drama bones can be invited.
No, he also hit Xu Gan with his idea, and Xu Gan's popularity is also very high now.
Xu Qian: "Invite me?"
Xu Qian thought about it for a while and did not refuse.
Although the influence of the Spring Festival Gala is not as great as before, he is still a stage that many people want to be on, and a few people can still soar to the sky with this.
Of course, Xu Qian is not because of this, his popularity no longer needs the blessing of the Spring Festival Gala, the reason why he agreed is because he owed Shi Jin a favor before, when he filmed "Soldier Assault", Shi Jin helped him find an actor, and now this favor is now going to be repaid.
Zhang Guo said: "Do we want to make a work for Wang Rong?"
"Wang Rong?"
Xu Qian came back to his senses.
Wang Rong has signed a national ceremony.
Xu Qian said: "Why don't I write a specific script for him, and then let Ye Qing shoot it." β
Zhang Guo said: "Okay." β
He still trusts Xu Qian very much.
Xu Qian began to think about what script to write for Wang Rong?
Wang Rong's image is somewhat similar to Wang Baobao in the previous life.
Xu Qian remembered Wang Baobao's peak production, Mr. Tree.
Xu Qian dared to say that this is an underrated masterpiece.
In the previous life, when "Joker" was rampant in the world, Xu Qian felt a little unbalanced, isn't this Mr. Tree?
The domestic and foreign media have interpreted "Joker" in various ways, and all the masterpieces have come out.
But in Xu Qian's opinion, this movie can be called a classic, but it is still some distance from a masterpiece.
Chinese audiences also have various interpretations of clowns, but in fact, there is no problem at all with these interpretations applied to Mr. Tree's movie.
And seriously, the setbacks suffered by the clown are really not good, and being resigned shows that you are not capable, and then recognize your father, and your father does not recognize you, these setbacks are really not good.
"Joker" is not bad, but it is not as good as others say, that dark tone, leaving plenty of room for interpretation, coupled with the feelings of the clown, the struggle of the little people at the bottom, these are very touching.
"Jakun Phoenix's demonic performance has made this masterpiece a masterpiece. β
This is what many people have to say about this movie.
Xu Qian feels that Mr. Shu is a masterpiece in the true sense, and Wang Baobao's acting skills in it are shocking.
In this movie, Wang Baobao is sometimes ashamed, sometimes irritable, polite one second, crazy the next, his eyes are empty and cold, contemptuous and misanthropy, powerlessness reveals irritability, twisted posture is he trying his best to cater to the world, his weird dance is the magic stroke of the film, this is a great actor, Wang Baobao can be called a great actor in Mr. Tree's performance. β
In fact, this comment was found casually on the Internet to tout the protagonist of "Joker", but it was not abrupt at all when applied to Mr. Tree.
Xu Qian began to write the script of Mr. Tree.
There is a single young man in the village named "Mr. Tree", who often goes to the tavern at the entrance of the village to drink with friends and hang out in the village. "Mr. Tree" was fired from the hospital after suffering a work injury at the auto repair shop, and was so sad that he had nothing to do to tease the nurse.
Partners who grew up together, some drove good cars and became coal bosses, and some ran private schools in provincial cities. The coal mines in the village were mined day and night, the ground was sinking, and the whole village had to be relocated. Often teased and ignored, "Tree" simply left the provincial capital to work in the school, and the children reminded him of his childhood.
His father and brother died when he was a child, and he often dreamed of his father, but never of his brother.
It was love at first sight with the deaf and dumb girl Xiaomei, and the love process was quite dramatic, on the eve of the wedding, "Tree" finally dreamed of his brother one by one in the cold winter, and at the wedding of "Tree", his brother took his girlfriend to sing a weird 80s pop song for him.
From then on, the "tree" realized that he was capable of psychic. Many things happened in the village that confirmed his prophecy, and "Tree" became a respected "prophet" and was revered as "Mr. Tree".
Xu Qian's personal feeling of this movie is more profound than "Joker", but our own movies can only be evaluated as "soil", which is conventional.
In the previous life, this movie also became popular on Douyin later.
Mr. Tree has returned to people's field of vision, not that the current professionals have swept the Internet to dominate the screen, but that the former naΓ―ve audience has grown up. β
When I was a child, I watched the excitement, and when I grew up, I watched the doorway. β
Many movies, such as superhero films, or commercial films full of hormonal elements such as ****, can attract young eyes and win at the box office for a while, but with the passage of time, what has precipitated is those things that can capture the deep emotions of the soul and touch the essence of human nature.
Xu Qian sent the script to Ye Qing and Wang Rong.
After reading the script, both of them were shocked in their hearts, because this is a work of magical realism, and the shock it brings to people is too strong.
The cold village and the cold human affection gave birth to the human tragedy of father and son, and also created a sad "Mr. Tree". As the name suggests, Brother Shu's daily life hovers on the edge of the intersection of the life circles of the coal boss, the principal, the village head, and the farmers. He is like a tree, silently watching the joys and sorrows of mankind. It is only when he is insulted that Brother Shu has a trace of popularity. β
Wang Rong immediately made a decision, he must perform this work, he must not miss such a work, this will be one of his masterpieces.
Ye Qing is also very excited, if this script is filmed well, it will definitely win the award, and he admires Xu Qian even more in his heart.
Xu Qian, who filmed business, had a set, but he didn't think that his literature and art were so shocking and surprising.
