Chapter 48: May
Yanjing in May, the taste of early summer.
If you have a circle of friends, you can see a bunch of people drying pear blossoms, apricot blossoms and begonia flowers!
Although in this era, there is no circle of friends, but Hongluo Mountain is lush and green, which still makes people feel happy.
Even the shooting went a lot smoother.
The indoor scene is almost filmed, and the next half month is the time for Yuan Bin's performance - he is going to shoot the fight scene in Hongluo Mountain...
Zhang Junsheng can't get his hands on this thing.
……
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is dressed in a ghostly and supernatural coat, and it is about the love between modern men and women!
is expressed in the Chinese style with beautiful costumes, but the structure of the film is a real three-stage style of Hollywood commercial films.
The so-called three-stage structure is the opening, confrontation and ending.
The opening must create enough atmosphere to at least let people in!
The essence of a movie is to use pictures to tell a story, and whether a movie is good or not ultimately depends on how well your story is told.
"Fundamentals of Film Script Writing" clearly says: the beginning of the story, that is, the "built" duration - let the audience understand the whole story, this time is generally from the beginning of the movie to the first 30 minutes or so, no more than a quarter of the length of the entire script.
The first thirty minutes of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are like this, the background of the story, Lanruo Temple, the characters are Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, Yan Chixia, and the Millennium Dryad!
Why did Nie Xiaoqian seduce the scholar, she was forced, so she is a good ghost!
Ning Caichen found a picture of a beautiful woman washing her hair, this is a clue, he can only like it in his heart when he is penniless, the account book is wet with rain, and he has no choice but to borrow a night from the haunted ancient temple that people avoid.
At this stage of Yan Chixia, it is more disdainful to show contemporary!
Millennial Dryad, the villain, she is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Then comes the second act, "Confrontation", where the villain appears and the decency goes toe-to-toe with it!
The duration generally ranges from about thirty minutes to ninety minutes after the start of the movie, which accounts for half of the length of the entire script.
At this time, Nie Xiaoqian began to fall in love with Ning Caichen, but there must be an obstacle, and this obstacle is the Millennium Tree Demon!
The reason why the love of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is emotional is because they are in such a dilapidated and troubled world, they can't help themselves, they have no choice but to choose tragedy, they meet in loneliness and stay together in despair.
And this love was a tragedy from the beginning!
She is a female ghost, this is destined to the ending that she can only leave Ning, and the deep emotional structure of the boutique lies in this, which is really "looking at the moon shape and protecting each other, only envying the mandarin duck and not the immortal".
There are lovers who can't become dependents in the end, and I believe that many people will have some regrets in their hearts after watching it.
However, it is precisely because of this incomplete perfection that Xiao Qian's ethereal image of white clothes flying and black hair is forever frozen in the depths of our memory, and finally condenses into the lingering cinnabar mole on the heart.
The tragedy is presented in a comedic way, and the lines of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are very funny.
Especially the conversation between Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia.
"I'm here to stay. ”
"Inconvenient!"
"Why is it inconvenient?"
"Are you bold?"
"Big..."
Yan Chixia looked down on Ning Caichen at first, he hated this world!
Later, he was moved, willing to fight to the death for the two of them, once famous in the Kanto Guangxi 26 provinces of the hot hand judge, the most hated corrupt officials, but the traitorous ministers in power, not accustomed to the smoke and miasma of the court Yan Zhutou chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, secluded in Lanruo Temple, he said that ghosts are kinder than people, in the current society, people are more terrible than ghosts!
In the end, the three of them all returned from the underworld, but just in time for the light of day to get brighter, the morning sunlight leaked into the hut through the cracks in the broken paper windows.
Ning Caichen fixed the plank with his forehead, blocked the sunlight with his body, and wept while urging Xiaoqian to return to the ash altar quickly.
Xiao Qian looked up at him, but he didn't seem to even bear to turn his head...
……
In May, Zhang Junsheng nested in Huairou to shoot with peace of mind.
Yuehua Media has exhausted the limelight, "Bright Sword" has almost locked the title of the annual drama king, "Days Related to Youth", "Happiness Like Flowers", "Our Youth with Nowhere to Place", all three TV series were sold at a high price.
In the field of TV dramas alone, Yuehua's profitability has surpassed most domestic film and television companies!
Especially after Hai Yan was involved in the drama, he gradually declined, and Yuehua faintly had the first style in China;
The production of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been completed, and now it is in the late stage, Mango TV is very interested, but it is not very willing to pay a high price, after all, the Xianxia drama is the first time in Huaguo Film and Television, and no one knows if it will work, and both sides are pulling the price code...
As for Dongyang, they have also begun to act, the audition of "The Legend of Deer and Ding"...
The bearded man played the previous set again, but unfortunately, the male protagonist has basically decided on the leader...
is not the same as the original time and space, Chen Chao did not enter the group to shoot at all, he took over the filming of "Assembly Number", by the way, the male number one of "Assembly Number" found Hou Yong, his acting skills and image are very suitable for Gu Zidi!
Don't use Zhang Hanyu for Mao?
He is Ma Xiaokang's little brother, Ye Jing doesn't like him!
In addition to movies, TV series, and animation, the first part of "Joyful Yangyang" has been produced, and by the way, it signed a contract with the Central Children's Channel to broadcast it, and soon, this sheep will sweep the country!
The drawing and rendering of "Kung Fu Panda" have been completed, only the dubbing is left, and it is estimated that it will be released in two months at most, as for when it will be released, it depends on Disney's opinion - "Kung Fu Panda" is a project led by Disney, people account for the majority, and Yuehua only has 20% of the income...
Disney values "Kung Fu Panda" very much, and their negotiations with Pixar are still continuing, and Old Joe is very stubborn this time!
Throughout May, the biggest thing was probably that "Apple" was released for a week, and then it was directly withdrawn by the General Administration!
It was nothing to be withdrawn, but there were officials from the key General Administration who assisted: Mr. Zhang, the deputy director, publicly stated at a symposium that "Apple" had an insulting depiction of the times, thinking that the tone of the whole film was not positive enough and was suspected of insulting the Chinese people.
"Apple's empty-handed exit at the Berlinale is inevitable"
"As an artistic expression, such a story can be forgiving. But as Chinese, we should not allow this film to have an insulting depiction of the times, and the inaccurate description in "Apple" is unbearable even for the German jury experts!"
"Even Westerners understand that Huaguo is not as unbearable as it appears in the movie!"
This is a hornet's nest!
You can say that "Apple" is not good and boring, but you can't say in one sentence that the movie insults the Chinese people!
Literary criticism, depending on the wisdom of the people.
As a censor, if he takes his own standards as the standard and cannot tolerate any "alternative" artistic expression, then what can he talk about "a hundred flowers blooming"? What vitality can literary and artistic creation have?
Fat Bing and director Li Yu immediately started the crying publicity...
"I'm for art!"
"What's wrong with the strong * female fuck play? What's wrong with the sensual sex? This is an art film, a Chinese literary film, there is no rape of a female fuck drama, is it still called a literary film?"
"It's not erotic, it's art!"
"I didn't insult the Chinese, I showed it to the truth!"
Well, a week after its release, it swiped a box office result of 10 million, which is very good, and it is expected to have a final box office of 30 million!
Then he was forced to go offline halfway.
At the same time, Li Yu, who is a director, and the producer were punished by not being allowed to engage in film-related affairs for two years...
That is, the ban on guidance...
This penalty decision is very speechless.
It's not for the General Bureau, but if you're awesome, you will treat everyone equally, and by the way, Director Li Anda will also be banned.
"Lust and Caution" is much more sensual than "Apple"...
