Chapter 721: Heart Knot
"You take a break for a while, help me do the post-production, and when you're ready, the next part of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series will continue to work......"
The few short sentences in Li Mo's mouth, in the eyes of others, contain a lot of information.
'Take a break and do the post-production'?
Does this mean that Lu Yang's position in the company has changed from a director directing commercial films to a behind-the-scenes person who is only engaged in technical work......
"When you're ready, the next installment of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series will continue to work?"
God knows exactly when this 'ready' will be.
Anyway, in the eyes of others, just because of Li Mo's understatement, Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Knife" series fell to the point of being frozen by the company.
Zong Shuai even glanced at Lu Yang vaguely when the meeting ended, looking at what he meant, it seemed that he was going to see if he could find an opportunity to talk to Lu Yang, so as not to complain about Li Mo's decision......
Hehe, this boss is really thinking too much.
The reason why Li Mo asked Lu Yang to rest for a while and go to the post-production of "Book of Swords and Enmity" to help was not as complicated as they thought.
Li Mo is really too busy.
Costume martial arts movies like "Book of Swords and Enmity" are completely different from "Embroidered Spring Knife".
The problem with the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series is that it does not have enough influence in people's minds, and Lu Yang wants too much, so he always wants more when portraying the relationship between the character and the background of the times......
And the end result of this line of thinking is that there will be problems in the characterization of some of the main characters......
To put it simply, Lu Yang's goods will inadvertently cause the effect of abusing the owner.
is like the scene where Shen Lian saves Hokusai in "Shura Battlefield", he actually made five stages from front to back.
Shen Lian was curious about Hokusai, but he didn't think about Ling Yunkai;
found that there was only one girl he liked in the house, and learned Hokusai's identity, but he still didn't plan to harm Ling Yunkai;
Ling Yunkai planned to insult Hokusai, but Shen Lian couldn't stand it, but he just wanted to stop the humiliation, and he didn't want to save Hokusai's life;
Ling Yunkai saw the relationship between Shen Lian and Hokusai, and wrote his name in the book of impermanence, and Shen Lian snatched it in order to survive;
In the end, Ling Yunkai revealed his identity, Shen Lian wanted to let him go, but when the other party resisted, he accidentally killed him, and was finally swept in......
From the perspective of drama development, there is no problem with Lu Yang's way of dealing with it.
not only makes Shen Lian's choices seem real and credible through layers of progression, but also highlights the helplessness and struggle of the characters......
The only problem is that it's abusive to play like this.
To a certain extent, making a movie is actually very similar to writing about the Internet.
Both need to give the audience a certain amount of stimulation every once in a while, but if it makes the reader/audience unhappy, the next home/bad review will be shown to you in minutes......
And Li Mo's "Book of Swords and Enmity" is just the opposite.
Everyone's awareness and popularity of Jin Yong's works are sufficient, and there is no need to be too unconventional for the personalities of the main characters, but the problem is to dilute the background of the times and some kind of metaphor that may lead to Project 404, so Li Mo decided to stare at the editing of all the action scenes himself, and the part of the literary drama was handed over to Lu Yang......
"Lu Yang, if you don't have anything to do today, you come with me, and I'll talk to you about the next work. ”
After the meeting, without waiting for Zong Shuai to open his mouth to keep people, Li Mo took Lu Yang back to his office directly.
…………
After taking out a bottle of drink from the Xiaoice box in the office and handing it to Lu Yang, the two sat on the sofa and began to chat.
"I asked you to be responsible for part of the editing work of "Book of Swords and Enmity", and it was definitely a decision made from the perspective of the company's work arrangement, don't think too much about it. ”
Straight to the point, Li Mo directly put his purpose in front of Lu Yang.
"Mr. Li, actually...... You really don't have to explain that much to me, and even if you don't make that arrangement, I'm going to take a good break and take a break to think about the future. ”
"What's the matter? Shouldn't you feel that you are not suitable for this profession because of this incident and want to back down?"
"This ...... It's not that much," Lu Yang scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's good that people who have been in the circle for so many years still have this psychological quality." I just don't think I'm at a good scratch about the tastes of the audience right now. ”
"What's so unclear about this?" Li Mo looked at Lu Yang suspiciously, "A mature director, when he shoots his works, he shouldn't just think about what he wants to express, but also need to know what the audience he is facing wants to see." ”
"In the movie "Shura Battlefield", in fact, you are a little above the audience in what you think,"
"However, "Embroidered Spring Knife" was originally about how Shen Lian and the people around him struggled to survive in the great era of social and national change, and they were originally a group of little people who drifted with the flow......"
"Yes, they are small people, but small people can also pry history," Li Mo shook his head and continued, " You think of Shen Lian too much as an ordinary person in the Ming Dynasty, except for the kung fu of the whole body, there is no difference between Shen Lian and ordinary audiences, the audience walks into the cinema to see a sweet dream, but now you tell them that after walking into the cinema, you still can't go to YY for two hours according to your own wishes, these audiences may like your movie, but they will definitely not recommend it to their friends......"
"Yes...... But your first movie "Hypnosis Master" that year, there was no real good person in the whole film, and even the cause of the car accident that year had two different versions, one was despair and the other was darkness, but I don't think the audience could say anything bad. ”
"Don't you think that whether it's the so-called despair or the darkness you said, I, as a director, have never admitted on any occasion which is real and which is the implanted memory?"
"Like...... That's exactly what happened. ”
"So, no matter which ending it is, it's the audience who thinks they see through my intentions, and I never respond, so they find some kind of superiority that sees through everything......"
"The story is engaging enough, and the audience feels like they're happy, so what's not to be satisfied with?"
Looking at Li Mo's smug expression, Lu Yang only had one sentence in his heart.
Damn, invisible pretending, the most deadly!
Just as he was about to say something to ease his embarrassment, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open.
It was Feng Wen who came in.
"Brother Mo, Sister Tianai is here, this will already be outside the door, do you want to meet her here?"
"Well, call her in, we're just about to talk about her!"
