Chapter 125: Urban Love
"The story is not so easy to think about, the artistry of the plain story is difficult to guarantee, but if it is a taboo subject, it will be stuck directly on the shooting permit. Yuan Yu glanced at Zhou Bai, even if she is an actor, she also knows that the domestic themes are very restrictive now, and some taboo themes cannot be passed at all.
"Then find a mainstream movie theme, which is easy to understand and has an audience base, such as the era set in a modern and urban setting. Zhou Bai smiled confidently and said, many of the current filmmakers are brainless, as if they would be uncomfortable if they don't make banned films, seeing that the mouth is getting tighter and tighter, they all suffer a big loss and go in that direction, it's really painful.
Zhou Bai can actually understand the thoughts of these people, the position of director needs soil, born in the era of the most drastic changes in China, they just caught up with the trend of the times, and the environment they lived in since childhood and what they saw have limited them to only create in this area, if they change to other themes, they don't know how to create.
Of course, when it comes to banned films, they may not all be taboo themes, many people don't know about banned films, and feel that these are movies that accuse the society of exposing scars and smearing the government in the accusation system.
Banned films are a term forbidden.
The scope of prohibited actions may be as follows: prohibition of shooting, prohibition of distribution, prohibition of publicity, prohibition of the person concerned from continuing to engage in film work, etc., there are infinite possibilities within these ranges, and they may not all be very sensitive subjects or content.
It's like "Suzhou River", this is a modern love movie, you can't find any place where you can't bear the taboo after looking through the movie, and the reason for banning the film is actually to participate in the film festival without permission.
The reason why it was banned was actually because Lou Ye died by himself, and directly took the film to Paris to participate in the film festival.
The timing of the large-scale ban on films was after the 90s, and the most iconic event was the "Seven Gentlemen Incident" in 94, where seven filmmakers, including Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yuan, and Wang Xiaoshuai, were punished for participating in the film festival without permission, which also made the banned films set off a lot of waves in China.
"What else can you shoot in the city besides love? murder, horror? These must not be filmed, and they will not be allowed to be filmed. Wang Hongwei smacked his mouth, a little depressed, as if the topic that was not exciting enough could not arouse interest at all.
"That's filming love, I said why do you always have to think in the direction of banned films, you are uncomfortable if you dare not be banned, right?" Zhou Bai said angrily, these hopeless patients with terminal literary and artistic diseases are all little experts in death, can murder and horror themes be filmed?
Speaking of which, it seems that everyone's impression is that the banned films discuss some extreme themes such as perverts and gore, and they are capable of distorting and distorting, which is basically the same impression.
But it's not, but if you look at the banned films carefully, there is everything, from the daily life of "Xiao Wu" to the love of "Suzhou River", the coal-burning stove of the people in the alley of "Blue Kite" to the quarrel of small intellectuals in the woods of "Winter and Spring Days", in fact, many of them are not surprising at all, that is, everyone is struggling and being harmonized after a click.
"So what's going on? Urban romance movies? If there's no novelty, there's no point in making it, so it's better not to shoot it. Lao Jia took a sip of wine and said helplessly.
"Considering the production cost, production difficulty, and production cycle, urban romance movies must be the first choice, and the production costs of action movies, science fiction films, and martial arts films are too high, so they must not be considered. Zhou Bai said seriously, there is no problem with the urban love theme at all, the cost is not easy to say, but the difficulty of production is definitely not high.
The big guys look at each other, is it urban love? It seems that it is really possible, but no, it has been discussed for a long time, and the story is not yet.
"But now it's not like there is no story, this theme is all bad, and it's hard to have new ideas. Lou Ye said that he had just finished filming an urban love movie, and he knew that it was not easy to shoot an interesting love movie, otherwise it would be cliché to shoot it.
Zhou Bai smiled and said nothing, in fact, he really had a story in his head, but he was really a little worried, with a literary young man like Lou Ye, he had his own set of aesthetics for movies, and if he felt that the story was boring, it would be difficult to move them to shoot.
"Lao Bai, do you have any ideas? Hurry up, how did I find out that you seem to be tricking us?" Gu Zheng spoke, he felt a little wrong, it seemed that Zhou Bai was confident, this thing seemed to be tricking everyone.
"Hurry up, what's the matter, I found out why you're doing this. Yu Feihong couldn't sit still, Feige was more neat and neat than a man, and he couldn't bear Zhou Bai like this.
"That is, if you have a story, you can say, don't sell it. Wang Hongwei also continued, and sneered at Zhou Bai.
I went and was discovered, Zhou Bai smiled bitterly in his heart, he was too familiar with these people, they knew what they wanted to do, and it was too difficult to trick them.
"You just say, if the story is good, are you afraid that they won't shoot it? If they don't shoot it, I'll shoot it with you. Yuan Yan twisted Zhou Bai and said angrily.
"Brother and sister are bright, come, a toast to brother and sister. Lao Jia's grandson said loudly, coaxing everyone to toast, making Zhou Bai so angry that he shook his head helplessly, pretending to be a failure.
"Ahem, don't worry, I have three synopsis here, I think they are all suitable for making a movie, I will say one by one, let's see which one is the most suitable. Zhou Bai cleared his throat and began to tell his story.
"What if you suddenly find out one day that your girlfriend who often quarrels with you has become a stranger who has no feelings for you, and there is no third party involved?" Zhou Bai slowly spoke, first throwing out a suspense, and then then telling the story of what he "thought" in detail.
The introverted and calm Qiao Bin met the frank and casual Gu Yue at a party, and was gradually attracted to each other, and the two became a couple. Like ordinary couples, their days are spent in sweetness and quarrels. On the eve of Valentine's Day in 2000, when Qiao Bin carefully prepared gifts and apologized to Gu Yue for a quarrel not long ago, he was surprised to find that Gu Yue didn't remember him at all......"
When Zhou Bai finished speaking, everyone had not yet come out of this story, if it was according to what he said, then there would be absolutely no problem if it was made into a movie, and this story was not so much about love, but about philosophy, which was very deep.
Everyone was really shocked by the story Zhou Bai said, Zhou Gongzi's eyes were full of brilliance, if Gu Yue could be performed, even if it didn't cost a salary, it was worth it, this story was too good.
Even Yuan Yan was moved by Zhou Bai's story, she was very surprised, she never knew that Zhou Bai still had the ability to tell stories, this was her boyfriend, and he could surprise her every time.
