Chapter 840: The Great Time
At midnight, Xu Qian secretly watched "The Great Era" in a movie theater alone, he didn't come to spy on the enemy, but just wanted to see how bad this movie was!
It's not that Xu Qian looks down on the blue sky and thinks that he will definitely make bad movies!
It's that the writer turned director is really very unreliable!
Coupled with the two factors of using "IP" and inviting traffic stars, the combination of these three factors, the possibility of "Big Times" being a bad movie is very high!
But there are miracles in the world, maybe Lan Tian is born to be a director, he was born a genius, such people are not nothing, but they are very few!
"The Great Era" is an adaptation of the same name from Blue Sky!
Here's what the introduction looks like:
This is an era of dreams shining, this is also an era of ideal cooling, this is the worst era, this is also the best era, this is our big era, this is the youth story of a group of fashionable young people in the current era, it is also a true portrayal of their lives, and it is a microcosm of our times.
The story takes place in Shanghai during the period of rapid economic development, and the protagonists Lin, Gu, Nan, and Tang live and study in this beautiful and fashionable city. Work and growth, four girls have a deep relationship since childhood, but each has different values and outlook on life, they get along day and night in the same dormitory, in the blink of an eye to the later stage of their college career, the quiet life began to face endless challenges, the busyness of finding a job internship and the huge survival pressure that comes with it, the seemingly calm campus life has happened one after another to catch them off guard, do not know how to face, need to choose things.
At the same time, a group of boys such as Gu, Jian, Gong, Chong, Weihai, and Xi and these four girls are also inextricably intertwined emotionally......
Facing huge survival pressure, in the face of unreasonable and chaotic emotional entanglements, the four girls have to experience friendship, love, and even family love.
It is very difficult for so many characters to be able to perform brilliantly in one movie!
Xu Qian started watching the movie!
The cinematography is very good, the costumes, the lighting effects are very good, but it seems to be out of the story, and it is good on its own, not in the service of the film.
The actors have no faults, but because of the arrangement and scheduling, some "good" are constantly exposed to their shortcomings, and the group drama is the most test of the director's scheduling ability, several people are not established under the camera, they need to have an aesthetic match, and they need to be combined with the image language, in this regard, from the beginning to the end, Xu Qian has not been able to see the director's image control. Very rough.
Yes, rough. It looks gorgeous, but the handling of the story is very rough. In fact, everyone may have wonderful dreams in their heads, and the author can express it because of the ability to tell stories, that is, writing.
And the video director needs the camera and the performance. In the long shots of the film, I often see the perfunctory performance of the group performance, such as the scene that entered the "ME" magazine, the scene in line, and the handling of the group performance is very perfunctory.
All of a sudden, the gorgeous shots are worthless. When we look at the performance of the actors, we are not only listening to the lines, but also the other intentions conveyed by the expressions when presenting the lines. In this regard, due to the situation in the director's scheduling, it is very single and flat.
Of course, the group performance may receive a little salary, and the scene is very chaotic, so it can't do this. But whether you are professional or not depends on these. When all the static scenes are as luxurious as possible, and most of the performances are just perfunctory, or take it for granted, the cause and effect are left to the audience's imagination, and the music makes us guess the mood.
In this regard, in fact, it is not a big problem, but roughness, the roughness of the director's technique, but it is a group scene that is not easy to shoot. Keep seeing people, but not characters. Two-thirds of the film is in such a state of hurry and panic, and desperately tells you not to panic.
"Obviously, Blue Sky's directing skills are not good!"
The script of "The Big Time" is not good either!
The whole script is unclear in type, unbalanced in structure, and the relationship with the original work is chaotic and cannot be sorted out. The type is that she can't be a youth film in the strict sense of the word, there is a lot of chaotic information mixed in, she has not completed the task on which the genre is based, and there are a lot of things to talk about, but they all fly away while talking.
The structural imbalance is that her fragmented narrative is not the language of the film, and it is whatever she thinks of, or arbitrarily intercepted according to the original book, which does not constitute a narrative. There is still a big difference between the text and the image, and the original work itself uses a lot of visual writing methods, but it is really exposed to the image, which is very fragile and cannot be sold in a small way. The logic is not valid, it is all self-reasonable, this is a failing script.
"This movie is very bad for people who haven't read the original book!"
Xu Qian came to such a conclusion!
And "Little Times" runs through from the perspective of the heroine, but it often becomes God's omniscient perspective when it is patted, and the audience is easy to lose, a movie audience has always followed and has always identified with the characters to be emotionally invested, "Big Times" often has too obvious the shadow of the author to come out, desperately asking you to be entertained, in fact, it is a practice that outweighs the losses.
Of course, "The Great Era" is not useless, and there are no merits at all!
Although it has a narrative rhythm of doing twice the work with half the effort and the film grammar of the text, "The Great Era" can still impress Xu Qian in some places, which many movies have not done.
The rendering of the friendship between the four girls in the special climactic passage is explosive, albeit clumsy.
In fact, the emotional thread of the film is friendship, and this soul is not dispersed in the whole film, and it also echoes from beginning to end, so I don't think there is anything wrong with this story. And Guo Jingming knows too well what his target audience needs, even those trendy narrations and lyrics will be engraved on their hearts sentence by sentence, bringing them a dizzying aftertaste, Blue Sky has worked hard for 10 years, so he can achieve precise strikes when he releases.
In the end, Xu Qian concluded: It is difficult to see that in a movie, you see that the acting skills of all the actors have regressed. They all seem to have dedicated all their acting skills to the final easter egg. I had to say to the blue sky: "What a big breath".
In general, this "Big Era" is very beautifully filmed, like shooting an MV, but because the basic skills of the director of Blue Sky are too poor, the movie logic is not logical and very rough!
It's like Jin Yong's martial arts are only limited to the earth, and the force value is not very high, but his recognized pattern is very large!
And some will destroy the galaxy at every turn, there is a universe outside the universe, but its pattern is very small!
Although "The Great Era" is very bad, Xu Qian still thinks that there is a market for this kind of movie!
First of all, there are too many fans of the original book of this book!
And this movie has beautiful pictures, and the luxurious life in it can also poke the g-spot of some people, young people may like this set!
And there are too many handsome guys and beauties in it, which are very eye-catching, and just looking at their faces can attract a large number of people!
Of course, the most important thing is that this is a "groundbreaking" movie that makes use of the "fan economy"!
The audience's taste has not yet improved, and it is easy to immerse themselves in it!
