Chapter 1239: Sure enough, it's a genius
May 1, Labor Day, the national holiday, of course, now there are only three days of holidays, not the previous seven.
On this day, people have been rested, since rest is nothing more than a few choices, first of all, it is natural to sleep, the work is very hard, and finally there is time to sleep, so we must cherish it.
Secondly, it is naturally tourism, although the holiday is very short, you can also go to the surrounding cities to play, or you can call a few relatives and friends to play together.
And watching movies is also a good choice, there will be two blockbusters released on May 1, one is Xu Qian's "The King of Comedy", and the other is "Dream Chasing Showbiz" directed by Bi Chenggong.
Needless to say, the movie "The King of Comedy" is enough to deter everyone.
As for "Dream Chasing Showbiz", it is known as the successful debut of the genius director Bi.
The genius film critic Dalong also came to the theater, of course, the title of this genius film critic is Dalong's self-styled.
He is very curious about these two films, and "The King of Comedy" is known as Xu Qian's innovative work.
As for "Dream Chasing Showbiz", it is even more awesome, it is known as the genius work of Dr. Yan University, who has been successful for ten years, and it is rumored that this movie is "unprecedented and unprecedented".
Dalong came to the theater today to personally investigate the merits of these two films, and the great leader is right, without investigation, there is no right to speak.
Then he saw a surprising scene, there was a long queue behind the ticket counter of "The King of Comedy", and there were only two or three people behind "Dream Chasing Showbiz".
"Give me two tickets to The King of Comedy. β
"Get me a ticket to The King of Comedy. β
"Give me three tickets to The King of Comedy. β
"Give me two tickets to The King of Comedy. β
"Give me three tickets to The King of Comedy. β
γγγγγγγγγγγ
The great dragon was stunned.
"What's going on?"
This situation is not at all right with what he expected, in his opinion, this "Dream Chasing Showbiz" is at least on par with "The King of Comedy", but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
This "Dream Chasing Showbiz" was crushed by "The King of Comedy".
Yes, naked crushing, there is no room for resistance at all.
"Maybe it's just a special case. β
He said in his heart.
He visited several other theaters and found that the situation was generally the same, very few watched "Dream Chasing Showbiz", and too many watched "The King of Comedy".
"It's γγγγγγγγ β
"Is "Dream Chasing Showbiz" really crushed by "The King of Comedy"?"
Dalong felt a little incredible.
The publicity of this "Dream Chasing Showbiz" during this period is really powerful, it is known as a work that has been sharpened for ten years, it is known as a film that takes into account both business and art, and it is also known as a movie that has never been seen before or since.
Not only that, but this movie was also praised by Professor Yan University, the chairman of the Film Association, and the director of the Film Association.
But no matter how much you publicize it, no matter how big it is, but no one looks at it, it's embarrassing, it shouldn't be said to be very, very embarrassing.
In comparison, "The King of Comedy" is much more low-key, and there is not much exposure during this time, but the number of people watching it is so great, which is really shocking.
"Why did you choose to watch The King of Comedy?"
Dalong asked the people who bought the tickets.
"Because it's Xu Qian's work. β
"Why did you choose to watch The King of Comedy?"
Dalong asked the people who bought the tickets.
"Xu Qian's product must be a high-quality product, haven't you heard of it?"
"Why did you choose to watch The King of Comedy?"
Dalong asked the people who bought the tickets.
"Hahahahaha β
"Why did you choose to watch The King of Comedy?"
Dalong asked the people who bought the tickets.
"My girlfriend likes Xu Qian, and I like γγγγγγ β
"Why did you choose to watch The King of Comedy?"
Dalong asked the people who bought the tickets.
"I still think Xu Qian is a little more reliable. β
γγγγγγγγγγγ
After so many interviews, Dalong sighed in his heart that Xu Gan's personal appeal was too strong.
Also, Xu Qian's appeal is indeed shocking.
However, Xu Gan's personal appeal was not formed overnight, starting from the youth trilogy, to "Ip Man", to "Infernal Affairs", and then to "The Departed", which step of his movie is not a classic?
Xu Gan's personal appeal is based on these works.
On the other hand, what about success?
A genius who has not been seen in 10,000 years, blows, blows hard, but when it comes to actually buying tickets, the audience doesn't buy it.
What do you mean by?
It's called.
What does it mean to be invincible.
It's called invincibility.
What do you mean by being indispensable?
It's called inevitability.
Don't look at the promotion of "Dream Chasing Showbiz" is incomparable, but so what? In the end, it was not crushed by "The King of Comedy".
Don't look at the promotion of "The King of Comedy", which is not obvious, but when it really broke out, everyone was surprised.
This is the meaning of Xu Qian.
Dalong finally understood why Xu Qian was indifferent to the provocation of "Dream Chasing Showbiz" this time, which all stemmed from the confidence in his bones.
In Xu Qian's eyes, he didn't regard "Dream Chasing Showbiz" as an opponent at all, he was invincible in his eyes.
Now it seems that Xu Qian's idea is right.
This touted "Dream Chasing Showbiz" is simply vulnerable, and it can't be compared with "The King of Comedy" at all, and the comparison between the two is completely like fireflies and the sun and the moon.
Dalong has no prejudice against "Dream Chasing Showbiz", but during this time, many media and film critics have blown this movie that has never been released to the sky, so he is very, very unhappy when he watches this movie.
In the final analysis, this movie is too special to swagger.
"Although the commercial value is not as good as "The King of Comedy", maybe the artistic value of "Dream Chasing Showbiz" exceeds that of "The King of Comedy"?"
Dalong thought so.
After all, this "Dream Chasing Showbiz" is known as a movie that has been sharpened for ten years, and it should be said that it is a film that combines business and art when it is promoted.
In fact, Dalong scoffed at this, commercial films are commercial films, art films are art films, and commercial films and art films are combined?
In this world, there are very few movies that can have both box office and cautionary significance from ancient times to the present.
"Let's go check it out. β
Da Long Xin Dao.
If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, maybe this "Dream Comedian" is really as he advertises, "ten years of sharpening a sword", "business and art coexist", "unprecedented", "no one before and no one after him"?
He stepped into the theater and found that the seats inside the theater were only less than half a sitting, and it seemed that not many people were interested in this "Dream Chasing Showbiz", and the others probably went to watch "The King of Comedy".
In fact, Dalong also wants to watch "The King of Comedy", but good things have to be left behind to enjoy, he subconsciously thinks that "The King of Comedy" is better than this "Dream Chasing Showbiz", after all, it is Xu Gan's movie, Xu Qian's past reputation is there, how bad can "The King of Comedy" be?
At this time, "Dream Chasing Showbiz" was officially broadcast.
Then Dalong is completely immersed in the movie.
ββββββββ
The beginning is the theme song.
"Dream after dream, dream after dream, showbiz circle, circle
We are pure, pure, pure, pure, pure, pure, pure
With the beautiful dreams I have had since childhood
To be a great and proud actor
People say that the entertainment industry is very chaotic
There are many rogue directors and producers who are also easily deceived
Those scandalous villains who were exposed
It made me feel so hard in an instant. β
γγγγγγγγγγγ
Dalong was really dizzy when he listened to the song "Dream Chasing Showbiz", and he was about to be dizzy by this song.
The main song part has made Dalong very speechless, and in the rap part, he really knows what a "soul singer" is.
"This Bi Dao is really a genius that has not been met in 10,000 years. β
"It took 10,000 years for mankind to give birth to such a strange thing as him. β
Because of this theme song, Dalong had an ominous premonition about "Dream Chasing Showbiz".
At the beginning of the film, Director Bi runs with an unknown bikini beauty in the sunset on the beach.
Running and running, they turned around and greeted their audience friends in front of the TV.
Dalong was shocked, awesome.
Unexpectedly, in the first shot of the film, high-level skills in the theater industry were used:
Break the fourth wall.
The fourth wall, a theatrical term, refers to a fictional "wall" in a traditional three-walled mirror-framed stage. In film and television works, "breaking the fourth wall" is usually expressed in the form of an actor abruptly withdrawing from the plot and communicating directly with the audience.
Without thinking about it, Director Bi did it in the first shot.
Then there is the drag racing scene that is not exciting at all.
"Uh, what's this plot for?"
Dalong was a little curious, he was puzzled, it was estimated that Bi Dao's thoughts were too high and unfathomable, how could we understand mortal scum?
Later, the movie used a direct black screen to switch to the scene on the beach, where Director Bi and the students introduced themselves.
"Introduce yourselfγγγγγγγ β
"I can only say high!"
"Only a genius who comes across once in 100,000 years can come up with such an incredible trick. β
Dalong exclaimed.
But what's the point of this episode?
It is none other than the legendary circular narrative.
Immediately, Dalong realized that he was too naΓ―ve.
Where is this circular narrative, which is a more advanced irregular multilateral narrative.
The movie once again switched to a youthful dance for no reason.
"No, it's not a hot dance at all, it's legendary broadcast gymnastics. β
Not only that, Director Bi is also very fashionable, and he even blends into the legendary square dance. β
"Director Bi is so awesome, he wants to catch all the audiences from childhood to adulthood. β
The dragon was amazed again.
followed by a close-up of the towering parts of the women, which is worthy of being a pioneer film exposing the entertainment industry.
Then the picture became "ppt".,I'll take it.,What's this great operation?
The dragon was impressed again.
Then he said: "I'm a scumbag, how can I understand Director Bi's whimsy?"
You never know what kind of surprises are waiting for you in the next second of this movie.
The screen jumps to the self-introduction section again.
Before the film officially entered the self-introduction session, Director Bi used a deep voice and the pronunciation of each sentence like the last sentence before he died, and began a monologue that broke the fourth wall and was at the level of elementary school students' composition.
Do you think it's over?
It turns out that this is just the beginning.
It turns out that more than 80% of the text in this film is character monologue, and more than half of these character monologues are Bi Dao's monologues.
The monologue is not a tool to move the plot at all, the monologue is the essence of the movie.
"What an unbelievable genius idea?"
"I used monologue as the essence of a film, rather than relying on dialogue to promote. β
"Monologues, in the real sense, can say as long as you want, say whatever you want, and can also break the fourth wall to communicate directly with the audience, I can only say that Director Bi is too hanging, he is an epoch-making genius. β
Dalong was even more impressed.
In addition to the rich inner monologues of the characters, the pictures and plots presented in the movie are full of surrealism.
For example, the tear point of the whole film is a boy named "Xiaoyu", except for a broken leg in a car accident, the doctor said that he may not be able to realize his dream of acting. The next screenshot is from Xiaoyu's awakening afterwards, Mr. Wen peeked out the window, and the voice-over monologue was "What I remember the most is the selflessness and strength of Xiaoyu and his mother." β
It's true that Director Bi looks a little darker, but you stand so straight that your upper body leaks out, is this called peeking?
"Also, how can we understand Director Bi's peerless talent?"
Da Long Xin Dao.
Dalong began to understand Bi Dao's creative philosophy. In this movie, the most important thing about a picture is not whether it is real or not, nor whether it looks good or not, but what Director Bi wants to express through this picture, Director Bi's creative intention, and what monologue Director Bi wants to say.
There is a boy who wants to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.
"Can you jump dead at this height?"
Dalong was stunned again.
The girl also said, "I've been watching you all night here."
"Can't you call him down after watching him all night? Are you just waiting for him to jump?"
Dalong understood the unfathomable nature of Director Bi.
Director Bi is really amazing.
The eleven story lines are mixed together like a mess of the Northeast, and you don't know which story comes first and which story comes last, but in this complex structure, the audience can still clearly understand the beginning and end of each story and the philosophy of life contained in it through a large number of character monologues.
Then the movie intermission, belly dancing debuted, embarrassed, I didn't dare at all, this is the cleverness of Director Bi, vulgar and elegant.
"Standing on the timeline and contemptuous of all the rules and regulations of the traditional film industry, Director Bi is the ultimate form of director evolution, and Director Bi is indeed a genius who has not been born for thousands of years. β
Dalong was almost on his knees.
This film has become a large-scale performance art work, in addition to the film itself, the filming techniques and shooting techniques of the film are all elements of this performance art work, all of which are indispensable.
As for acting, it's just cultural dross left over from the traditional film industry, and it doesn't deserve to be in this movie at all.
Appreciating such a work of performance art is full of surprises at every turn.
You never know what will happen in the next second, what kind of monologue will be recited.
You will never know how many traditional films have been broken through the boundaries of this work and how many traditional filmmakers have been slapped in the face.
Finally, when the film was about to end, the main plot came, and Dalong thought that Director Bi had forgotten the main plot, but it turned out that he had misunderstood Director Bi.
The main plot is the "graduation drama".
is worthy of Director Bi, this is perfectly integrated with his own experience in reality, this is a typical integration of human drama, and the movie "Dream Chasing Showbiz" is also Director Bi's graduation work in reality.
Dalong began to look forward to Director Bi's whimsical ideas, this person is really a genius, a genius who will not come out for ten thousand years, many of his genius ideas are simply epoch-making, playing sassy operations that others dare not play, this person is really very awesome, invincible in the world.
The end begins.
