Chapter 294: Nudity Equals Art?

The script Zhou Bai said was the one that won the award in the Young Directors Program at the Busan Film Festival last year, and it is also a big hole, Zhou Bai has seen it and knows what kind of impact this movie will have after it is made.

Lou Ye himself knows that because the things involved in this script are too sensitive, just when it comes to that sensitive event, it is impossible to pass the censorship, but just like "Platform" is the stone in Lao Jia's heart, "Summer Palace" is the stone in Lou Ye's heart, and he can't get through it if he doesn't shoot it.

Zhou Bai knows Lou Ye's artistic level, among the sixth generation of directors, he and Lao Jia can be said to be the two most talented, this movie is bound to be admirable in terms of artistic level, but this kind of unprecedented large-scale work, once it is filmed, Lou Ye will pay the price.

If the film can get funds, the investors are definitely not charitable, so Lou Ye went to the film festival against the wind when he could not pass the review, and the outcome was predictable, Zhou Bai was very reluctant for Lou Ye to end up in this way.

But the most painful thing is that artists are all very urine, especially artists like Lou Ye and Lao Jia, who are very sullen, they always have a heroic mentality that although thousands of people have gone to me, they are willing to pay the price for their art, and you can't help but admire their persistence.

Zhou Bai himself can't do this kind of posture like a martyr, he would rather hold everything he has and hit the torrent of the system, even if he is broken, he doesn't care, he often ridicules himself as a businessman, so once he sees that something is really not feasible, he will immediately turn around and find a way from other places.

Doesn't Zhou Bai have his own artistic concept? No, it's just that he doesn't have a special fascination with literary films themselves, and there is more than one way to spread his understanding of the world and his perception of art through his works, and he will never choose to break his head and bleed.

"Well, when "Purple Butterfly" is finished, I will prepare to make this movie, I have been preparing for a long time, if I don't shoot it again, I am afraid that I will never have a chance to shoot it in the future, I know you are worried about me, but this is my choice. Lou Ye took a sip of stuffy wine and said with a wrinkled face, as if the wine in his throat was bitter.

"Do you have to involve that period?" Zhou Bai was silent for a moment and asked in a muffled voice.

"Yes, I can't avoid it, I don't want to avoid it, Lao Bai, you are more than one round younger than us, it's hard to understand if you don't experience it personally. Lou Ye's mouth was so bitter, how could he not know that once he did it, it would be difficult to turn back, but once he had a thought, he couldn't stop.

"The scale of the movies you make has always been not small, I see that there are a lot of passion scenes in the first draft of your script, I think there will be very few actresses who are willing to shoot at that time, the background of the times cannot be changed, and the passion scenes cannot be deleted?**There are too many shots, and the impact on the actress in the future is too great, do you know what kind of environment we are. Zhou Bai shook his head with a wry smile and asked without giving up.

"Yu Hong is the kind of person who puts her soul in her body, her soul and body are the same thing, she uses her body to carry out soul activities. When she sleeps with others, she connects with others and faces the world, and she uses her body to measure and probe others and the world. Lou Ye shook his head, the passion play itself was within his plan.

"Actors, it's normal to have concerns, I'll let her choose. I don't understand, what's wrong with the larger-scale shots in the movie, it's that we practice asceticism, so many people can't see any nude scenes, and don't think about the expression behind it, as if as long as they touch the taboo, it's like heinous, everyone is careful to avoid these minefields, what's wrong with this world?" Lou Ye slapped it on the table angrily, irritated.

"The lenses are designed for the artistic expression of the film, and if it doesn't compromise on quality, I'd like you to consider reducing them. Zhou Bai sighed and said, the so-called can't survive if you're not crazy, Lou Ye is not far from the state of madness.

Lou Ye didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Bai, he knew what Zhou Bai was worried about, and he didn't think Zhou Bai was very timid, because everyone knew what kind of impact would be caused by the appearance of large-scale nudity scenes in the current environment, and those defenders alone were enough for everyone to drink a pot.

"I don't want to interfere with your creation, but I think that some shots are not necessarily meant to expose the actors to the camera, you are the director, I think you know a lot more about the ways you can use to express erotic shots than me, I just want to remind you that once the scale is too large, it is easy to bring big trouble to the actors. Zhou Bai patted his head painfully and said.

"Okay, I'll think about it. Lou Ye's face changed quickly, and he didn't know how many thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally squeezed out a few words.

"Come on, it will take you a year and a half to finish filming "Purple Butterfly" or something, anyway, there is time for you to think about it, plus the filming period of that movie will never be short, I believe you will weigh it well. Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

In Zhou Bai's memory, if I am not mistaken, Ji Lei was finally persuaded by Lou Ye to participate in the filming of "Summer Palace", and because of her participation in the filming of "Summer Palace", Ji Lei, an actress full of aura and talent, suffered a double blow to her love career, and she couldn't even recover for a long time.

It's hard to say who is right and wrong in this matter, even in the end, Ji Lei didn't blame Lou Ye, her loss of love can also be said to be that the relationship can't stand the test, but if you want to dig deeper, taking over the filming of "Summer Palace" has always been the fuse for her loss of love, and it is also the culprit that brought her career to a halt, and if it is not because the scale is too large, it is unreasonable.

Zhou Bai has always felt that there are thousands of standards for art, and there are many ways to express it, not necessarily in a very direct and naked way.

Artists have the freedom of expression, but everyone must agree that there are many ways to express themselves, and some shots can lower the scale, so shouldn't the artistry be gone?

If you want to say what the impact will be on the scale of the performance, as a director, Zhou Bai will never believe it, Lou Ye has shot a lot of banned films, and he is clear about the domestic situation, how can he not know what the consequences are?

Zhou Bai absolutely does not agree that art must be naked, on the contrary, the people who appreciate literary films are not large, and those who can understand literary films must have a more sensitive artistic sense, is it that they can't understand the artistic expression if the scale is not large?

"Summer Palace" is a big hole, Zhou Bai only hopes that through his own efforts, he can stifle some troublesome things that are not necessary in advance, but it seems that the effect is very small, Lou Ye's character itself determines what kind of way he will choose, to be honest, the hope in Zhou Bai's heart is basically shattered with the conversation.
