During the period when "The Three-Body Problem" was released, Chen Yongren also went to the Magic Capital Drama Academy and participated in the symposium on "The Three-Body Problem" held by the school.

During this time, countless film colleges and universities wanted to invite Chen Yongren to give a lecture and share it with the students, but Chen Yongren refused to do so, and only accepted the invitation of his alma mater to participate in this symposium, after all, he didn't know what to talk about in the lecture, he was too tired.

And "The Three-Body Problem" is too hot, so it's more about exchanging some of my views on "The Three-Body Problem" with you.

As an international metropolis, the magic capital is also one of the areas where the collision of ideas is very active, and young people at this age are also very receptive to many new things, and there will be a lot of sparks in the collision of ideas.

The word-of-mouth of a movie is also easy to spread in places like universities, and now the main force of movie-watching is still these college students, so if the word-of-mouth of a movie is very bad, it is easy to start to be widely known in places like universities.

Not to mention the Modu Drama Academy, which is the talent training base of Chinese films and Chen Yongren's alma mater, it is also a relatively important thing to hold a symposium on "The Three-Body Problem" here.

The symposium was held at half past one in the afternoon of January 13, 2014, and after Xixi's birthday, Chen Yongren flew over early the next morning, and the auditorium of the Modu Drama Academy was already filled with enthusiastic students.

Many people are particularly interested in this, and it is not only the teachers and students of this school, but also the entire Chinese film circle and even filmmakers from other regions.

So in the end, although there were not many guests who came to participate in this symposium, all of them were big names in the industry.

However, the main invitation of the Modu Drama Academy is the alumni of the Modu Drama Academy, after all, this is a symposium held by the Modu Drama Academy itself, which makes the outside world helpless, who called someone to produce a awesome alumni.

After Chen Yongren said some hello to everyone, he walked back to the backstage.

He's going to have to prepare, too.

The celebration banquet of "The Three-Body Problem" was held in Beijing on January 5, and although this is a symposium today, for Chen Yongren, today also carries a bit of celebration.

What Chen Yongren wants to talk about is mainly his own, but the arrangement and planning of this lecture is carried out by the people of the Modu Drama Academy themselves.

The main purpose of this arrangement is to choose some issues that everyone is more interested in and then let Chen Yongren come here to make a public presentation, and tell a reason why he has questions about these things when he was filming this movie. Show a lot of details of this movie for everyone to see.

At the beginning, Chen Yongren told everyone about some of the details of the adaptation of this movie, and told everyone about the structural arrangement of the movie and the trade-offs such as the plot of the adaptation.

In the end, Chen Yongren closed his speech, turned to smile and said to everyone: "Today's symposium, in fact, I hope everyone can discuss with me, whether it's okay to discuss this movie, and it's okay to discuss other things."

And what I said before is more of a sharing, sharing my experience in filmmaking, rather than lecturing. ”

After he said such a paragraph, the students at the scene burst into applause.

After a round of applause, the next thing went to everyone's question session.

"Senior, may I ask how do you think you have completed the two-line control of commercial and artistic mastery of the movie "The Three-Body Problem"? After all, up to now, everyone thinks that this film has reached the pinnacle of world cinema in terms of both commercial and artistic achievements.

Striking the right balance between commerciality and artistry has always been a challenge for all directors, but you've been able to maintain such a delicate balance since your first film, Infernal Affairs. Can you pass on your experience to us?"

"Business and Art ......"

Chen Yongren organized his language slightly, thought about what he should say in his heart, and then after he coughed dryly, he said: "Business and art are indeed a big problem, and it is not easy to integrate them.

Whether it is commercial or artistic, when considering the premise of integrating a scene, such a fusion does not make people feel particularly stiff.

For example, in a movie, in order to make some big scenes and increase the explosion point of the movie, we have to add some plots and scenes that were not originally available, and we should be able to see a lot of lessons in this regard, many movies because they want to forcibly add some commercial shots, so that everyone can feel the charm of special effects blockbusters, so regardless of the bluntness of the special effects, whether it is abrupt with the plot, or added, for this, I want to say, this should be a taboo in the movie.

In fact, I don't have much say in the movie "Three-Body Problem", after all, although this movie should be barely done, but this movie is basically adapted from Mr. Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem", and in many places the original book has already appeared in such a plot idea, I moved to the movie, so a lot of credit belongs to Mr. Liu Cixin, and it can't be counted on my head, and the script of this movie was completed by the two of us.

And then there's the point I've been emphasing, that a movie has to tell a good story first.

And this is especially important, no matter what the plot is, you must first make sure that you can tell a good story.

The story of "The Three-Body Problem" is very simple, that is, aliens invaded the earth, and then Luo Ji solved this crisis, but in the telling of the story, it is true that you can't deliberately add some commercial shots with particularly wonderful effects for the so-called commercial elements, or commercial elements such as love, and add some inexplicable characters.

Changing this principle to art, it is the same, many times, in order to be able to highlight some artistic effects, deliberately arrange a blunt plot, there is no logic, such a film industry will be full of loopholes, and it is not easy to gain some success in word of mouth. ”

Chen Yongren finished saying this long paragraph, but some of the people below refuted it at that time, saying: "Senior, what you said is too modest, indeed, "The Three-Body Problem" is Liu Cixin's work, and it was also adapted by the two of you, and it is still adapted according to that framework, but this kind of adaptation still has a lot of your hard work in it, and the way you intercept the plot and shoot it is your own effort. ”

Chen Yongren was actually very happy to hear such words, he himself was actually a little modest, to be honest, he also knew that this movie was mainly supported by himself.

Otherwise, if it is said that if it is just a random film and adapted into a movie, it will definitely become a hit, then if there is anything to say, everyone can adapt it directly.

In fact, adapting a wonderful movie may not necessarily be popular, and it still requires a certain amount of skill.

Chen Yongren smiled and said: "It's not modest, but it's just such an idea, anyway, the movie first needs to meet the plot before it can be considered to highlight commercial elements or artistic elements, I have always said so, and I have always done so."

After all, if a movie doesn't tell a good story, if it's an art film, it will make people feel obscure, and if a commercial movie doesn't tell a good story, it will make people feel very stiff and feel like a bad movie. ”

Chen Yongren said a lot of things, but everyone present was using the greatest enthusiasm to record what Chen Yongren said now, so now all what he said has been recorded.

The symposium lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, but the enthusiastic teachers and students still didn't want to let Chen Yongren go in the end, but the time was almost up, and everyone couldn't help it.........
