Section 365:
Although Shen Huan was in a more restless mood today, and made the theater look like a restaurant, coupled with his current outfit, it was really a bit of "the first time I went to the cinema to watch a movie, how can I pretend to go there often?", but of course it was not the first time he entered the theater. And it's not the first time he's watched a comedy in the cinema.
Watching comedy movies in the cinema, Shen Huan actually hates this kind of scene where people laugh, which makes him feel noisy, especially in some of the scenes where he looks at the laughter, but the people around him make exaggerated laughter, which makes him feel even more embarrassed, but now he is enjoying it very much.
Because this is a movie he made, can it be the same as other movies?
And this also calmed down his restless and nervous mood a lot.
He had been worried about what the final result of the film would be, and whether this way of shooting would only make him feel perfect, but the audience would not buy it?
It seems to work out pretty well and is a good start......
Thinking of this, he also deliberately glanced sideways at Song Yi beside him, this mollusk was still hanging on the chair expressionlessly as before, and it seemed that GET couldn't laugh at it.
But it doesn't matter, it's a weird, her reaction doesn't matter, it's enough to see other people's feedback.
Shen Huan was thinking like this, but with the light projected on the big screen, he saw that the corners of Song Yi's mouth suddenly rose slightly, and a soft sound of "heh" came out of his mouth.
The laughter is all yin and yang, and it's really a bit of a tendency to evolve to the onmyoji.
Shen Huan felt a little surprised while thinking about it, I don't know what kind of laughter made this facial paralysis laugh, so he immediately turned his head to look at the big screen, and saw that it was Xia Luo who he played got out of the car, his clothes were caught by the closed car door, and he was dragged by the car, which was very embarrassed.
Except for Song Yi, there was a burst of laughter around him at this time, and from Shen Huan's listening point of view, it was lighter than the previous laugh.
It's weird, and the laughter is different from ordinary people.
……
After the galloping horse turned around twice, four people came out of the main entrance of the hotel, and Xia Luo, played by Shen Huan, finally hurriedly shouted to stop, and the galloping horse finally stopped turning in circles and stopped. After that, the driver skillfully trotted all the way to the car door, and Charlotte got out of the car in bright clothes, and also used shooting methods such as upward shooting, alternating fast and slow shots, and seriously created a chic feeling.
"Charlotte!"
"It's a good mix!"
With the exclamations of several people, and a few shots at this moment, without narration, the audience immediately understood what was going on with the strange behavior of this strange galloping horse.
That's pretending, and you have to wait for acquaintances to come and show off. The acquaintance didn't arrive before, so he didn't stop, and when the acquaintance came, he finally stopped and pretended to be a good force.
This kind of behavior is very real, and it is not difficult for the audience to understand, and because of this, they have a sense of substitution - this kind of vanity, no matter who it is, is more or less there. At the same time, I feel funny, after all, vanity is understandable, but it's a bit funny to walk around outside in circles for this. It's just that this is not a prominent joke after all, it just makes the audience happy and cheerful, but no one laughs out loud.
But the next moment, it was different.
After Xia Luo, who was brightly dressed and extremely chic under Shen Huan's shooting method, got out of the car, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said lightly in the chatter of her classmates.
"Long time no see".
There are not many words, the voice is not loud, the expression is not rich, and there is no deliberate vulgarity to show off wealth, but it is precisely like this, the feeling of "invisible pretense" came out all of a sudden, full of force, very stylish, and it seems to be the style of orthodox petty bourgeois literary films. But the next moment, Charlotte, who had already become a fan and was pretending to be invisible, suddenly ran to the side of the camera frame, and in a short period of time, his expression could be seen changing rapidly, as if he himself was caught off guard. As soon as the camera switched and lengthened, I saw that this was because his clothes were caught by the car door, and as soon as the car started, he was taken away and ran up involuntarily, very embarrassed, and the previous chic style was also broken in a second, and it was gone.
"Hey, hey, brother-in-law, little brute......"
Chen Wanxian couldn't help but "giggle" out loud when she saw this again.
She thought that Shen Huan could pretend to be a good person, and she was really stylish, but she didn't expect that in the next second, she immediately broke the work, she was extremely embarrassed, and even began to scold, which was really unexpected and funny.
Sang Yangdi also laughed twice, and his body shook twice.
He feels more deeply about the laughter created by this lens language than the linguistic jokes.
The audience in the theater was also laughing at the moment, so unhappy.
……
"Everything I did today was for the girl I secretly hid in my heart,"
The film continues, interspersed with Charlotte's monologue.
"Her name is Qiu Ya......"
Accompanied by Charlotte's monologue, the camera is a picture of Charlotte walking into the hotel in a chic and handsome manner, and some montages of pictures from her student days. The rhythm seems to have eased down at this point, and the story began to be told in a serious manner, giving the audience who had just laughed twice in a row a breathing space.
Something......
Sang Yangdi looked at the big screen in front of him, and was very surprised when he thought of it in his heart.
He was surprised by two things: first, how well the film was made.
From the beginning of the movie to the present, although it is only a few minutes, but the film is so well made, it can be seen from his point of view, which is surprising to him. And the second point that surprised him was the content of the movie.
From the current point of view, the story is very simple, not complicated, and the conclusion he came to from his previous research on the MV is similar, that is, a rebirth + love, going back to the past to change all the unsatisfactory stories, what should be presented at the beginning should be the current various unsatisfactory, this is a common shooting technique. But it's not simple, it seems to be about and maybe even a comedy!
This doesn't need to be said by professional film critics, just from the laughter of the audience before.
If you can maintain the rhythm and laughter at the beginning, then this film will not only be a comedy, but it may really be a "hilarious" comedy, just like Shen Huan advertised before.
I don't know if it will be anticlimactic, put all the laughter in the front, and there will be no more in the back......
Let's read on.
……
As the film progresses, the story of "Charlotte's Troubles" slowly unfolds in front of the audience.
Charlotte goes to the wedding of her old classmate and former crush, Choya.
After graduation, he didn't mix well, but in order to show his best self in front of the former goddess, he racked his brains to pretend to be a rich man, and used methods such as borrowing his brother-in-law's luxury car, buying luxury suits, and bragging about himself. But under the screenwriter's arrangement, he frequently made a fool of himself: in the emergency situation where his clothes were caught by the car door, he scolded and exposed the truth that the driver was actually his brother-in-law, and the luxury suit he bought collided with the emcee of the wedding, and as a result, he was regarded as the emcee who went to the wrong place, and was ridiculed by his old classmates in poetry, and finally he was exposed by his wife who heard the news, in fact, he is now a poor man who has to rely on his wife to raise him.
The core of this story is actually very realistic and spicy, showing the powerlessness of a little person at the bottom of the society who wants to prove his own worth, but is powerless, quite heavy, and even sad, just from the perspective of the story itself, it is completely in line with Sang Yangdi's speculation about the "tragedy" and "literary style" of this film, but under Shen Huan's shooting techniques and story arrangement, it gives the audience a completely different viewing experience from the core of the story:
Charlotte was hesitant and satisfied, wanting to show his style at the wedding, and opened the door of the wedding hall in a dashing manner, the light on the other end of the red carpet came over, brilliant, just like his life that was about to shine for a short time, there was a feeling that he was about to take off, but he was immediately beaten back by a word from the master of ceremonies who was presiding over the wedding.
"Did you go to the wrong room?"
There was laughter in the wedding hall, and Charlotte, who was extremely dashing just now, stood at the door with an embarrassed expression.
Mr. Wang, who had not seen her for a long time and was said to have been expelled for receiving gifts, came to their table in Charlotte, but she didn't remember the student under the self-introduction of the classmate's "Do you remember me?
The following students were also like this, and all the self-introductions became the gift content of the year, "My dad gave me a TV" and "My dad gave me a wall calendar" and other words emerged in an endless stream, and Mr. Wang's reflection on these self-introductions was also very fast, corresponding to their respective names one by one, which made the audience in the theater happy to watch it.
After Ma Dongmei, played by Song Yi, came to the wedding scene, she first recognized Qiu Ya's newlywed husband as her father, and then greeted Teacher Wang with the words "Ah, Teacher Wang, are you also there? Are you still alive?", and when her classmates beckoned her to sit down and have a drink, she excused herself and said, "Don't sit, I'm going to go to his mother's grave with Xia Luo, you see this good thing is coming in one day", when accusing Xia Luo, he said, "You sing and dance like this feather duster" Speaking of which, the camera showed the master of ceremonies who was wearing the same as Charlotte, only to see him sneakily glance left and right, and quietly took off his body......
Little jokes like these are dense and run through the story. And under the core of the story with such a serious theme, under the serious performance of the actors, these small jokes that pop up in unexpected places from time to time have a very good effect, and bursts of laughter resounded in the theater from time to time.
The sound of laughter in the film is the best affirmation for a comedy movie. At this point, Charlotte's Troubles is undoubtedly a success.
Although now the whole story is just beginning.
……
Sang Yangdi thought while watching and laughing, as the story progressed, his opinion on this film and Shen Huan changed more and more.
It's kind of amazing......
In his opinion, the story rhythm of Shen Huan's movie is very good.
He didn't blindly pile up jokes, but followed the story normally, which is a great place in Sang Yangdi's opinion.
Sang Yangdi has seen some so-called comedy movies, in order to pile up jokes, the story is torn apart, the rhythm is completely absent, and the whole thing is a joke, so in his opinion, it is not a movie at all, and that kind of movie is naturally not loved by the audience, and the evaluation is generally very low.
But Shen Huan's movie is not.
From his current point of view, although there are many and dense laughs in Shen Huan's movie, these jokes all follow the same principle, that is, to serve the story.
Shen Huan is in Zheng's children's art work, the sense of substitution is a very important thing, there is a sense of substitution, and the feeling of the literary and artistic work can be more profound, in order to be put into it, and to like it.
At this point, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" is really well done.
What's even better is that he made such a humble and sad story into a comedy......
Sang Yangdi felt that he had not thought wrong before, this was indeed a literary film - if it was according to the conventional shooting method.
But Shen Huan is not a regular person.
