"A man is a teenager until he dies?!"

Sun Tian and the others muttered and repeated this sentence, and they all nodded.

Lin Xuan started the next topic and said, "Since you all think the song is good, let's talk about the specific shooting style." ”

After a pause, Lin Xuan said: "This is just a micro-film, not that kind of art film, talking about audio-visual art, light and shadow art is a bit ridiculous, and that's not what our film can do."

Let's mainly discuss how to tell this story well, how to grasp the performance style of the actors, and what do you think of Director Yan?"

Yan Hao smiled first and said, "Teacher Lin, I'm two or three years older than you, just call me by my name." ”

"Okay, then you can also call me by my name, it's just a verbal title, let's take it easy, don't do those superficial efforts, and discuss that the most important thing is to make this micro-film well. ”

Yan Hao nodded and said:

"That's what I think about movies, I think that in order to move the audience, we should highlight the protagonist's persistence in his dreams and his powerlessness in the face ......of real life."

Yan Hao gushed endlessly, and Lin Xuan frowned more and more when he listened.

The other party's theme expressed in the movie is a very conventional way of thinking, which is a bit too rigid.

Soon, Yan Hao also noticed Lin Xuan's expression and asked, "Lin Xuan, do you have any different opinions?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said:

"I understand what you want to express, but I think your thinking is too conventional, to express the difficulties on the road to chasing dreams and the obstacles in real life, it takes a lot of plot to portray, but we are just a micro-movie, and time is limited, so I think I can stop at those things. ”

"Then how do you think it's better?" Yan Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The core of our micro-film is the story, there are many ways to express the story, now all kinds of funny videos are rampant, all kinds of jokes are flying all over the Internet, in this fast-paced era, everyone is very tired of life, and many times they want to watch something lighthearted. ”

Lin Xuan said: "I don't think it's good to use that bitter and hateful way to portray how the protagonist grits his teeth and pursues his dreams with tears in his bones."

I think we should express it in a light-hearted and playful way, the same is the pursuit of dreams, let's dissolve those heavy things, maybe it will be more acceptable to the audience. ”

It's the same in my previous life, many people laughed before watching "Old Boy", and watched it as a funny video, and in the end, they were deeply moved.

Yan Hao was a little puzzled, and frowned: "Easy way to joke?"

Then, Lin Xuan gave two examples of the plot of the movie.

Yan Hao was a little skeptical: "Is that way of showing a little too noisy, too absurd, too exaggerated." ”

Sun Tian and the others were also a little skeptical.

Seeing the reactions of several people, Lin Xuan was slightly stunned at first, he felt that this kind of expression was normal, why were they not very optimistic, but then he understood the reason.

There is no Stephen Chow in this world!

Xing Ye is the inheritor of traditional comedy, and at the same time a pioneer.

In his previous life, Xing Ye had a deep influence on almost all the people who did comedy in China in later generations, and his films exaggerated the reactions of the characters and used playful and absurd techniques to express the theme of the film.

It looks a little inexplicable, the characters' reactions are far from reality and illogical, but they can make people laugh, and at a certain moment, they can also make people cry, so as to make the audience cry and laugh.

If it was placed in the previous life, this expression was very common, and it was Stephen Chow's set of continuing to learn, so it was no big deal.

However, there is no Stephen Chow in this world, and people have never seen nonsensical comedy, so the way Lin Xuan said it made Yan Hao and others skeptical.

It's actually normal for them to have such a reaction.

In fact, when Stephen Chow was just born in his previous life, he was liked by many people and questioned by many people, thinking that his movies were too inappropriate.

Therefore, although it has repeatedly broken box office records, it has not been recognized by industry awards for a long time.

In Lin Xuan's view, Stephen Chow is not only a filmmaker, but also a cultural symbol, the way of thinking and speaking of the characters in his movies, as well as those classic lines, have a profound impact on the way of thinking of those two generations of young people.

Xiao Yang's "Old Boy" also obviously continues Stephen Chow's nonsensical expression.

Lin Xuan smiled:

"Don't worry, the more exaggerated the audience laughs in the front, the more surging the sadness will be in the end, and if you can make people laugh at the beginning of the movie, it will naturally attract the audience to watch it, and the direct and heavy expression may make many viewers lose off. ”

The more exaggerated the laughter, the sadder the heart, which is something that Stephen Chow's comedies often show to people.

However, it is difficult to change people's inherent way of thinking, especially Yan Hao, Sun Tian and others are from serious academies, they have always felt that making movies and telling stories should be serious, and they can't understand Lin Xuan's idea that is a bit wild in their opinion.

That's the difference between the two worlds.

In Lin Xuan's original world, these creative methods are normal, but in this world, just like when Stephen Chow first appeared, people feel that his comedy concept is full of imagination.

It is also quite fresh to use this kind of comedic narrative to express the tragic theme meaning.

At first, Yan Hao, Sun Tian and the others didn't quite agree with Lin Xuan's idea, but Lin Xuan was very persistent, and several people discussed it, and in the end, they all compromised.

Sun Tian and the others compromised because they believed in Lin Xuan's talent, and felt that what Lin Xuan said also made some sense, and the script was also written by Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan was talking about it again, obviously prepared, so he decided to give it a try.

As for Yan Hao, he was very helpless in his heart, feeling that this micro-film was very likely to hit the street, but the investor was an uncle, and he was also a part-time worker, so he could only follow what Lin Xuan said.

"I thought the script was pretty good, but if I express it like this and act it in that way, can the audience accept it?"

Yan Hao expressed deep doubts.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, and when the micro-movie was launched, they would see the charm of Stephen Chow's style comedy.

"Okay, we've decided on the shooting style. ”

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "I heard from you just now that there are a few important extras that have not yet been selected, in order to let you understand my concept more deeply, let's go to the street together and choose actors by the way." ”

Yan Hao opened his mouth wide, "What did you say, go to the street to choose actors?"

"Yes. Lin Xuan nodded heavily.

When he watched "Old Boy" in his last life, Lin Xuan felt that those extras were full of market spirit, which fit the style of the movie very well.

Lin Xuan felt that their kind of life-like performance was very impressive, in fact, Xiao Yang was originally looking for a variety of supporting roles because of his lack of budget.

But Yan Hao is not good at the whole person, and he feels that this movie is definitely a pill.

Sun Tian and the others looked at each other and said, "Lin Xuan, I think it's okay, we still invite extras." ”

"yes, it's not that economical to save money, is it?"

Lin Xuan was slightly stunned, and then smiled:

"Who told you that I am here to save money, I want to pursue life-oriented performances, and good performances are to make people feel the traces of performance, so that people can have a sense of involvement.

Their role is a little bit, even if they are nervous at the beginning, they just need to practice a few more times and shoot a few more times, mainly because they think their market temperament matches the movie itself. ”

I, Nima, I believe in your wickedness!

Sun Tian and the others rolled their eyes in unison.
