Chapter 83: Ma Xiaogang's thoughts
Facts have proved that Duan Xu's idea is not wrong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first time Ma Xiao saw Duan Xu, he directly explained the reason.
"That's right, Lao Chen and I are thinking about whether to shoot the second part of "Crazy Stone". Ma Xiaogang said directly to Duan Xu.
Duan Xu frowned: "So fast?"
In his plan, he originally planned to wait for "Crazy Stone" to be released before considering the next movie. But now Ma Xiaogang brought it up directly, which made Duan Xu feel a little surprised.
Ma Xiaogang said with a smile: "Our cooperation with Lao Chen will definitely last for a while, although we can wait until the release of "Stone" to start preparations, but it is actually meaningless. What's more, forming a crew is not so simple and easy. ”
Duan Xu nodded, he understood this truth, he hadn't entered this industry before, Duan Xu always felt that making movies was actually not so troublesome, as long as he had money, it would be difficult to do something that he couldn't do.
But after really understanding it, he realized that sometimes, money really can't solve all problems.
For a crew, it takes at least one or two months, or even longer, from the preparation of the project to the final official meeting of the group. This is not only to select actors, but also to select the staff of various departments, don't look at these behind-the-scenes personnel who can't win any awards, but in fact, without the efforts of these behind-the-scenes personnel, it would be a fool's dream to make a good movie.
"I don't have an opinion on this matter, but which book are you going to shoot?" Duan Xu thought for a while and asked Ma Xiaogang.
He handed over a few scripts to Ma Xiaogang before, which was regarded as giving Ma Xiaogang a bottom, giving him the confidence to continue to cooperate with him, and now it seems that Ma Xiaogang should be a little difficult to choose.
"I think the next movie should be a man's play. Ma Xiaogang was silent for a while and said to Duan Xu.
The so-called men's drama should be similar to "Crazy Stone", which is a drama dominated by the male protagonist, and as for comedy movies or action movies, it is a type of drama.
Duan Xu frowned: "In movies and literature, the movement of characters about men is basically an extension and evolution of a series of stories, because this is not only a classic narrative, but also the essence of the genre. But I think that if a drama is only supported by male characters, it will also lose a large number of female audiences, what do you say?"
Ma Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Duan Xu to be able to say such professional words.
As everyone knows, Duan Xu has read a lot of books since he decided to contact this circle, so it is not surprising that he can say such a thing.
"What, feel a little surprised?" Duan Xu smiled and asked Ma Xiaogang.
Ma Xiaogang was not hypocritical, and nodded: "I really didn't expect that you still understand this." ”
Duan Xu shrugged his shoulders and continued: "Art is a medium language, and art has a lot of witchcraft remnants. Art is by default false in modern times. is a narrative provided on the basis of the senses on the basis of a false (simulacrum). Science, religion, and art, have a common source. It is the first primordial semi-ambiguous cognition of the human mind. Science is constantly evolving because of logic and falsification. Art and religion (witchcraft) remain closely linked. After the Renaissance, especially modern art, it gradually got rid of religion and replaced the spiritual function of religion to a certain extent. ”
"Contemporary art, however, is increasingly inclined to new witchcraft. Contemporary art has a strong neo-shamanic tendency. This is suspicious. Especially painting, installation, and performance art. ”
"The peculiarity of science is that we assume that this is the case and then prove that it is so or not. The characteristic of witchcraft is that it's true, and I don't need to prove it, and so it will be like that, and I don't need to prove it. The characteristic of art is that it is a pretense, but I want to express that feeling of being real. ”
Taking a deep breath, Duan Xu concluded: "That's why I said that the art of film is actually an illusory reality. ”
Ma Xiaogang was dumbfounded, completely shocked by Duan Xu's words, he couldn't have imagined that such profound words could be said by a young man in his early twenties, and looking at Duan Xu's appearance, it was not random nonsense, but a real summary.
"Collective fornication within the circle is collective suicide. You can be confident, but you can't be self-congratulatory. Barriers can be broken, but they cannot trample on each other. Duan Xu said something meaningfully, and then smiled bitterly: "You and I understand this, but some people may not be able to understand it." ”
Ma Xiaogang was silent, he naturally knew who Duan Xu was talking about, and what Wang Shuo and others did was not an alternative kind of collective self-esteem?
It's just that there is no way to do some things even if you know it, it's like someone else puts a gun to your head and forces you to do something, you know that after you do it, you will get yourself into a circle full of dirt, but if you don't do it, you will die.
In such a situation, how do people choose?
In order to survive, you can only choose to do it.
The situation that Sunshine Film and Television is facing now is actually like this.
knows that the struggle with Wang Shuo and others will not be beneficial to the development of Chinese films, but there is no way, if he doesn't fight, he will quit the entertainment industry.
In the face of life and death, no one wants to be captured.
Even Duan Xu is the same.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the new book. Duan Xu saw that Ma Xiaogang was a little distracted, smiled and said to him.
I just said those things, on the one hand, to prove that I am not a person who doesn't understand movies, and on the other hand, a very important reason is also to remind Ma Xiaogang from a certain angle not to treat yourself as an idiot who doesn't know anything.
In all fairness, Duan Xu's attitude towards Ma Xiaogang and Li Wan is completely different. Even if Li Wan is not very good at doing it in Sunshine Music, and even a little unworthy of the name, Duan Xu can still tolerate her and even help her in some aspects, because Duan Xu knows that Li Wan is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.
But on the other hand, Ma Xiaogang has actually done a very good job in Sunshine Film and Television, but Duan Xu still maintains a high degree of vigilance against him, the reason why this situation occurs is because Duan Xu knows very well that Li Wan is a person without ambition, while Ma Xiaogang is not.
Duan Xu could even be 100% sure that if it weren't for the huge pressure he was under now, Ma Xiaogang would definitely not be so willing to cooperate with him. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
