Chapter 136: The Summer Season Begins (Second Update!)
Many directors like to complain that the audience can't understand his films.
What does this scene show what profound meaning, that scene shows the philosophy of human nature, and what are the more layers of meaning of this line......
The audience doesn't appreciate enough to understand my films!
Many directors have come up with this sentence after hitting the street, as a way to prove that it is not their own films that are bad, but that your audience is not good!
Not long ago, Chen Kaige said such a famous sentence in front of reporters: No one can understand "Wuji" within ten years!
It's a good comparison!
I have a big groove, you all know that the audience can't understand it, why do you still shoot it? Why do you still sell it in theaters for money?
When the box office was cut in half, he ran all over the country, and asked for the support of fans in tears!
The more successful a person is, the more likely it is that he will set himself too high, detach himself from the masses, and think he is elegant.
If you don't look at things from the audience's point of view, it's inevitable to hit the streets.
Witnessing the street of so many directors, Tang An has learned enough lessons that making movies is for the box office and for the audience.
As for the awards?
It doesn't do much other than to cooperate with the propaganda!
Don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be struck by lightning!
Listening to Tang An's words, Lu Yu's eyes lit up.
There have been many directors who have been on the show before, and what they talk about the most is nothing more than art, ideals and the like.
Not only directors like Chen Kaige, who started out in literary films, but even Feng Xiaogang, who has always been considered cliché, said so.
He didn't talk about how to make the audience laugh, but talked about the connotation and moral he wanted to express in the film.
Like Tang An, he directly said that he is a storyteller, everything he wants to tell is in the movie, what you see is what it is, and he has no deeper meaning to tell the audience, or the first one.
The 300 audience members at the scene were also a little curious, and some of the audience who had participated in the show more than once heard the director preach there for the first time.
"If that's the case, what if there are many viewers who don't understand Director Tang's meaning after watching the movie?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and asked with a smile.
Tang An smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand what I mean, the audience doesn't walk into the cinema to listen to me, they just want to watch a wonderful movie, and have a relaxing time after work and study!"
"Maybe a lot of viewers can see what I didn't see, and it's good to get their own understanding!"
Next, Lu Yu mentioned the theory about the degree of brain development.
"Director Tang, in your previous interview, you said that Binbin has the ability to travel through time and space because of the full development of his brain, is there a scientific basis for this?"
"No one has proven this hypothesis yet, and of course, we are certainly not fully exploiting the potential of the brain, but only using part of it, and the big is obviously not 100%.
I wanted to explain this concept as simply as possible in the film, to make it as easy for the audience to understand, and to show them what it would be like when we developed our brains to 100 percent. Of course, the 10% theory is not true, it's just a movie!"
Tang An said very cautiously.
When it comes to professional knowledge, especially science, it will not be good to be slapped in the face when the time comes.
Then, Lu Yu turned the topic to Tang An personally.
She looked at Cheng Daoming, "Hello Uncle Ming, in your opinion, what kind of director is Tang An!"
Cheng Daoming also crossed his legs, holding his hands on his knees, and he smiled and said, "First of all, Tang An is a very good director, unlike many directors, he is still a screenwriter, which is rare." ”
"It's really not easy to write a good story and tell a good story!" Lu Yu nodded in agreement.
"It's hard to find a director who is as good at writing and directing as Tang An, and you don't see that he used to make horror movies, but he actually has a good sense of humor. ”
"Oh, can you give an example, I think the audience and friends also want to see Director Tang's humor!" Lu Yu said in surprise.
"You can ask Zhang Li about this, Director Tang gave him a nickname!" Cheng Daoming pointed to the side.
"What is the nickname, might as well share it with you!"
Zhang Li looked like an honest man when he raised his head, and he said with a wry smile.
"Look up farmers, look down killers!"
Then, Zhang Li lowered his head slightly by 30 degrees and looked at the audience.
"it!"
"Whew..."
"Made, it's so spooky!"
"Scared to death!"
"Goosebumps are up!"
suddenly changed from an honest farmer to a killer, and suddenly scared the audience!
Zhang Zhang was also taken aback by them, and quickly raised his head, revealing the expression of the iconic peasant, and smiled embarrassedly.
The frightened audience patted their chests and took two breaths first.
There was not much time for the show, Lu Yu chatted with everyone, and some tidbits from the filming of the movie were inserted on the big screen in the middle.
"Finally, Director Tang still has a question. ”
"Please!"
"Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Li, and Liao Fan all have their own characteristics, how does Director Tang arrange their respective roles?"
"This is decided according to the characteristics of each person, who meets the character of the script will be used!" Tang An smiled.
"But sometimes there are trade-offs between the actors and the script, and subtle changes are made!"
......
After leaving Phoenix Satellite TV and taking a short rest, Tang An took the crew to participate in several programs one after another.
It's mainly the promotion of TV stations, and occasionally a few movie theaters.
Two days later, the show aired, which was also the first time that "Super Body" was promoted on TV.
There are still a few days left before the release of the movie, and the publicity is becoming more and more intensive.
Posters and promotional videos are all over the country's major cities.
And with the holidays of major schools, the main force of summer movie watching has also begun to focus on the several movies released.
"I've slept at home for a week, I'm ready to go out and have fun, are there any good movies in the summer vacation, comrades recommend it!"
"Look at "Superman", I heard that with an investment of 300 million US dollars, it is estimated that the special effects will be leveraged!"
"The red pants are all vomited, watch Supergirl go, I hope Tang An won't let me down!"
"It's "Super Body", can you watch domestic sci-fi films, just that scum special effects!"
"It should be okay, watching the trailer, it is estimated that it is action sci-fi, soft sci-fi, starring Uncle Ming and Binbin, Zhang Hanyu's gangster boss looks good!"
"After watching Tang An's first two movies, I know that this "Super Body" will not be bad, even if the special effects are poor, the plot is not unacceptable!"
"I watched "Lu Yu has an appointment" yesterday, I think Tang An said it well, the director is a storyteller, don't pretend to be like Brother Chen Kai!"
"I also watched it, that tension suddenly lowered his head and showed that kind of gloomy expression, it was too scary, and the nickname of the farmer who looked up and the killer who looked down was not wrong!"
"I still keep the money to watch Brother Tom, I've watched two "Mission Impossible"!"
"Brother Tom's first part is really good, but Wu Baige directly made the second part into a gunfight movie, there is no tension or excitement of a spy war movie, let's wait and see!"
......
Time passed slowly, and the premiere of the summer file with the return of "Superman Returns" officially began!
Although "Crazy Stone", which was released in June, had a good box office, compared with several blockbusters, the box office of 2 million in the first week was not enough to watch!
On the evening of July 9th, the Hollywood blockbuster "Superman Returns" held its mainland premiere ceremony in Beijing!
