The movie "Beijing Love Story" shows that Chen Shicheng is very ambitious, from his teens to dozens of years old, love and troubles of all ages have been told, and he has tried to collude with each other in structure.

However, the execution is not enough, except for a few details. Each story is contrived in its own right.

The lines are a little stiff and boring, like a group of people reading sentences according to romance.

There are a total of five love stories, and Chen Shicheng and Tong Liya play the protagonists of the first paragraph.

There is a difference between the characters and the characters of the two in the TV series, Chen Shicheng originally played Gao Fushuai in the TV series, but this time he played a dick, and Tong Liya became an elite white-collar worker.

The innocent good girl was moved by Dick Si's literary tone, and immediately rolled the sheets, and she was especially pregnant.

Except for the appearance, I can't see that the characters in the film are pure at all, and the kind of people who play games with other men in bars, mouth-to-mouth, are just a little hesitant.

Romance films must have a rival rich and handsome or something, for a rich and handsome, watching the woman he loves choose a male dick who has no house, no car, and no household registration, he decided to use a house worth 20 million in the city center, trying to exchange it for two hours of time for a woman, to prove to others or himself that in the face of reality, love is nothing.

Unfortunately, in the end he lost.

But this first paragraph is really not a romance movie, when Tong Liya said the three words "hit" indifferently, she knew it.

A one-night stand makes you pregnant, you have to have a fetus, get married, and talk about love with a man you really love in a bar.

The second paragraph is the derailment of a young man and the collapse of love.

Wang Xuebing, a master of love, walked between his wife and many lovers, holding the idea of "if you don't play anymore, you will get old", all kinds of small three, four, five, six or seven are chic until midnight every day, and before going home, they must pour wine downstairs to cover up the smell of perfume and then go home drunk and say that the customer is "really annoying".

When his wife Yu Nan said that she wanted to divorce him, this emotional master almost collapsed.

Yu Nan, who has always been docile and loyal, wanted to try to take revenge on her husband by indulging herself, but suddenly her "conscience" found that she didn't do anything deviant in the end.

The third love story is that the two people who have been married for many years pretend to be a dog man and woman to play cheating games to celebrate the anniversary, and in the end the man still scolds his wife for "sassy!"

The fourth story is the only two points, Liu Haoran and Ouyang Nana, the little couple in school uniforms, the young and sweet first love, is very emotional when you look at it.

The two of them sit on the bus, each listening to a headset, a scene that happened to 90% of people when they were students.

Even if the plot is not very touching, looking at the two people in school uniforms, you will have a good feeling.

The last one is the love of old age, the wife was diagnosed with cancer, and she may go one step ahead of her wife at any time, and the wife pretended to be her wife's cousin on a blind date for her in order to find someone who could take care of her wife after her death

The pure love of teenagers, the hot love of youth, the love of suspicion after marriage, the love of middle age, and the love of old age, spanning the five stages of life.

The lineup is also strong enough, and there are both actors and actresses.

Chen Shicheng had a lot of ideas, but he didn't do it well.

Originally, the length of the movie is short, and it is not so easy to tell a complete and interesting story in 90 minutes.

Five stories, each less than 20 minutes long, is even more difficult to tell.

However, the on-site reaction is okay, as long as the reputation is almost passable.

.

After the premiere, Wanda hosted a banquet at the nearby International Trade Center.

After coping with everyone's congratulations, Chen Shicheng immediately found Tang An, wanting to get an evaluation from the first director in the mainland.

"Tang Dong, what do you think of my film?"

Looking at Chen Shicheng's eager eyes, maybe he is a little obscene, how do you feel a little lustful.

Tang An hurriedly shook his head, goosebumps rose, and he glanced at his beautiful wife before he felt better.

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Tang An thought about it and commented, "It's the first time I've made a movie, and it's already very good to be able to do this." ”

Chen Shicheng said on his face, "Very good" This evaluation came from Tang An's mouth, and it was definitely the best compliment to him.

However, he also knew that he had a lot of shortcomings, so he waited for Tang An to continue.

Tang An continued, "Although it is divided into five sections and five separate stories, they are still related to each other, and the overall structure is complete. ”

"However, the five-paragraph story compresses the length, and the overall plot is not smooth, which can easily lead you to the next plot, but the audience's thinking is still on the previous story. And in terms of the plot, in my opinion, there is something wrong, especially the easter eggs, "the wrong time to meet the wrong person is marriage". ”

Except for the story of first love, the other four are a bit ridiculous, which is neither real nor in line with people's beautiful fantasies about love.

It's almost like Wenqing, but I want to sell the box office, so I compromised, and in the end it became unflattering twice, and the four are not like.

After Tang An finished speaking, he glanced at his wife next to him without a trace, although his expression did not change, but Tang An still caught a trace of strangeness.

It is said that the movie is a reflection of the director's inner thoughts, even if it is not all, at least there will be some of the director's true thoughts in it.

He Chen Shicheng bluntly said in the film that "the wrong person at the wrong time is marriage", and when he was filming this film, he was just about to get married, and he was the only screenwriter.

To say this is to make it up casually, it is possible.

However, could it be a feeling?

Only God knows.

As Tong Liya, who participated in the filming, and it was filmed before she got married, she also noticed this line.

Although I didn't take it too seriously, but at this moment before marriage, women are sensitive, and it is really impossible to say that there is no discomfort in my heart.

However, Chen Shicheng didn't find anything wrong, and was still discussing the movie with Tang An.

He thought deeply and said, "Director Tang, what you said is really to the point, I haven't found out when I wrote the script, and when I look back at the script when I am filming, I will find that there are many problems, especially when editing, it is too difficult to get it, if you want to explain it clearly, a story of 20 minutes is too little." ”

"So you cut the film to 121 minutes, two hours, which is very bad for the scheduling. ”

Tang An said, "It can be seen that you deliberately control the length of the film in order to compress the time, like the first paragraph, the beginning is abrupt, and the end is hasty." There have been many such narrative structures before, and the same was done last year's Jia Zhangke's "Destined," a film made up of four segments, each of which is connected to each other. ”

There are few Jia Zhangke's movies that have been released in China, and "Destined" is very similar, several stories in the movie are adapted from real events.

The Hu Wenhai incident, the Foxconn incident, the Zhou Kehua incident and the Deng Yujiao incident are all factual displays of the dark side of society, and negative real social themes have been wiped out by optoelectronics.

This film was reviewed at the beginning, but it was banned more than a month before the release, but it was broadcast on a local station in a black province.

In the first story, after San'er kills people and leaves, he has a relationship with the sea in story 2;

In the second story, the coal miner Sanming buys a ticket to take a car and meets San'er at the pier;

After the Chinese New Year, San'er left home to take a car, and met Yaxian, a small factory in Guangdong who went to meet Xiao San (Xiao Yu in Story 3), on the bus;

And Zhang Yaxian is the boss of Xiaohui, a young man who works in Guangdong in Story 4;

Xiaoyu finally looks for a job in Haihai's hometown, which returns the film scene to its original form.

Tang An continued, "However, the storyline of the whole movie of "Destined" can be connected, but these pass by, and they are strangers to each other, and there is no story intersection or emotional intersection.

In this way, the various stories are connected, although coherent, but not cohesive. You've got a good job of this in this film, where the protagonists in the five clips are firmly connected to each other through friendship, family, and work relationships. ”

"Tang Dong praised me, I am far worse than Director Jia. Chen Shicheng hurriedly said.

Tang An said that he did better than Jia Zhangke, and he was very proud of himself as a genius.

But Tang An can say this, he can't admit it in public.

Tang An shook his head, "I'm not praising you, although you did a better job in association, but the five fragments are related to each other, so it's better to blend them together." ”

If it is blended together, it is similar to the structure of the later Xiangjiang movie "The Tree Moves the Wind".

This film was also harmonized, and Douban couldn't find it, and later Lin Jiadong, one of the three male protagonists at the Academy Awards, won the Best Actor, Best Director, Best Film, and Best Screenplay, but all the news did not mention this film.

All the news doesn't mention this film, just click on the news of an Academy Awards, and you will find that there are other awards, that is, there are no awards for actor, best director, and best picture, but the best supporting actor is in the front.

Some news that mentions the actor and the best director will not be marked with the title next to it, but other movies are marked.

Tang An thought for a moment and said, "If you still want to maintain this narrative structure, I suggest you go and watch an Argentine crime comedy film "Wild Story" released this year, this film has six stories in 122 minutes, and the director completely makes up for the shortcomings of the short story compilation film, it is a compact, smart, and entertaining film, you can check it out." ”

Chen Shicheng said, "Thank you Tang Dong, talking to you inspired me a lot, I will go to see this film tomorrow." ”

He didn't bother Tang An much, as the protagonist of this banquet, as a director, he still had to deal with other people.

Tang An looked around and found Ye Xuan.

I touched a glass with him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ye, hasn't the merger and acquisition of Legendary Pictures been negotiated yet?"

Wanda has been talking about the merger and acquisition of Legendary Pictures for a year, and it is two years earlier than the original time and space, and it will not be the same as the original, and it will take another two years to win.

"It's basically been negotiated, there are some other terms and specific details, and it is estimated that there should be news in three months. Ye smiled and did not hide it.

"That's a big congratulations. ”

Tang An proposed, "Legendary Pictures is also one of the best second-tier studios in Hollywood, so we can cooperate in the development of the North American market in the future, and Open Road Pictures also has the ability to distribute independently, although A-level productions cannot be released alone, but they still have the ability to distribute medium productions." ”

Legendary Pictures has only production capacity, not distribution capacity, and has long been constrained by Warner.

"Pacific Rim" was the fuse that led to the breakup of the two parties, with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars, and no more than 100 million in North America.

If the film is so bad that there is nothing to say, but it has sold more than 300 million US dollars overseas, at least it proves that the film is not so bad, and Legendary Pictures, as the largest investor, will naturally blame the distributor Warner, although Warner also invested.

However, Legendary Pictures cooperated with Universal again, and the cooperation just started, so it did not accept the acquisition of Wanda, and now it seems that the cooperation between the two sides is not happy.

In Hollywood, producers are exploited by distributors, even at the best of second-tier studios.

Even several giants even have their own subsidiaries, and their production companies basically lose money every year, but the distribution business makes a lot of money.

The open road pictures acquired by Tang An have the ability to independently distribute movies and DVDs, while Legendary Pictures does not have the distribution ability, but the two sides can cooperate.

However, Ye Twist can't look down on a mere open-track film, and Legendary Pictures is also the number one among Hollywood studios, investing a lot of A-level productions every year.

"Hehe, Tang Dong, Legendary Pictures is producing blockbusters, this summer's "Godzilla", "Jurassic World", and "Warcraft" in preparation, but they are all blockbusters, and the distribution capacity of Open Road Pictures is probably not enough. ”

Ye Twist also took it up, and finally had a chance to despise Tang An, he would not let go of this opportunity.

A small-eyed man with glasses doesn't have big eyes.

The meaning is obvious, we are all blockbusters, and your small company in Open Road Pictures is not qualified to play together!

Tang An was not annoyed when he heard it, anyway, he would kill it if he hit it in the mainland schedule, and said with a smile, "The theatrical distribution of A-level big productions can't be done by Open Road Pictures, but DVD already has the ability to distribute it in the United States, and Legendary Pictures' medium-cost film Open Road Pictures still has the ability to distribute it." ”

"That's okay, but the merger and acquisition haven't been completed yet, and then Legendary Pictures will go through a period of personnel changes, and we'll talk about it when it stabilizes. ”

Ye Xuan said perfunctorily, to be honest, he definitely didn't want to cooperate with Tang An.

At this time, Huo Xiwen, director of the Yinghuang Entertainment Artist Management Department and Director of the Record Department, and President of Operations of the Beijing Office, walked towards this side, followed by Yinghuang artists such as Rong Zuer, Cai Zhuoyan, and Gu Juji.

"Mr. Ye and Dong Tang, what are you talking about, so happy. ”

Tang An smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that the merger and acquisition of Wanda and Legendary Pictures is almost completed, and several Hollywood productions are being prepared, and I plan to add a few less important Chinese supporting roles, and I want to ask for a role." ”

Huo Xiwen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "If Mr. Ye needs it, our Yinghuang artists can be selected at will." ”

Your uncle's!

Ye Xuan scolded secretly, it is true that he plans to add a vase role in a Hollywood blockbuster, but what is the matter with you, this is all for the eldest lady.

Tang An didn't say anything more to them, it didn't matter if Ye Xuan was unwilling to cooperate with Han Tang in Hollywood, anyway, the market over there was not the main one, and it would be impossible to open the market in a few years.

As for Huo Xiwen, a director of Ying Huang, Tang An didn't have time to deal with him.

In the mainland, she is not as energetic as any director of the two major business divisions of Hantang Group's film and TV series.

As for the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, it has long been yellow yesterday, if Yinghuang only has the entertainment industry and no other industries, the film and dance operation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption ten years ago, Yang Hunting Cheng would not have come out so easily after he was arrested.

Then Tang An talked to Deng Chao and Liu Haoran again, and told them to return to the crew as soon as possible if they had nothing to do, and start the filming of "Detective Chinatown 2".

There is nothing to wait for at the banquet, as a publisher, half of the host, it is enough to stay for so long.

Just as he was about to leave, Yang Tianzhen of Yixin Entertainment came over with Ouyang Nana, one of its artists and one of the leading actors in the movie.

"Hello Tang Dong, I am Yang Tianzhen, I have never had a chance to see you, and I finally met you this time. ”

Tang An nodded and said with a smile, "Hello Mr. Yang, what I said is as if I am some rare animal, and I can't even see it if I want to." ”

"Tang Dong, you are a busy person, I can't see you all year round. ”

Yang Tianzhen said secretly, are you a rare animal, but for people who are not at that level, it is more difficult to see than rare animals.

At least for her, except for this kind of occasion, she is really not qualified to meet Tang An, even if there is cooperation, she will meet the two vice presidents of the film and TV drama division, or the directors below.

"Tang Dong, this is Nana, who studied cello and is now studying at the Curtis Institute of Music. ”

Yang Tianzhen introduced the little girl next to Tang An.

"Curtis Institute, it's a world-famous conservatory, Nana is so young, she must be playing a very good game. Tang An smiled at the little girl.

"Uncle Tang, if you want to hear it, I can play a song for you. The little girl said crisply, cute and cute.

God's special uncle, he doesn't speak politely at all!

"Nana, you are calling it wrong, you shouldn't call it uncle, what should you call my young and handsome brother when you see me?" Tang An corrected for her.

The little girl looked at Tang An, looking a little entangled.

Tang An turned his head and glanced at Liu Haoran, his eyes warned.

However, Liu Haoran did not cooperate and pretended not to see it.

The young man was so unreasonable, Tang An tilted his head slightly, and whispered, "Do you like little girls?" ”

Everyone has a love for beauty, just like Nie Yuan said in an interview, men and women are filming together for several months, or playing as a couple, it is easy for something to happen.

Liu Haoran did have a good impression of the little girl, although he couldn't talk about love or like, but when Tang An said this, he was immediately embarrassed and called Tang An "Brother An".

Seeing this, the little girl also shouted, "Brother An." ”

Yang Tianzhen just brought the little girl to get acquainted, and she didn't talk much, so she left.

Deng Chao looked at the back of them leaving, called Liu Haoran's agent to take him to meet some people, and then said to Tang An, "Tang Dong, Yixin Entertainment is owned by Tengxun, and he actually signed Ouyang Long's daughter. ”

"Don't worry about that much, just don't get those people involved. Tang An shook his head.

It's just a two-faced politician.

There are more people like this, most of the artists on Baodao are like this, one set here and another, similar to Xiangjiang, but just bending over for RMB.

Those are more obvious, Tang An never cooperates, the country doesn't care now, God knows when the wind direction will change.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go, there's nothing to stay at, Deng Chao has a heavy task for you, hurry up and shoot the film. ”

Tang An greeted and left the banquet scene.
