What does it mean that art comes from life and is higher than life?

What Gan Jing is doing now is it.

When Zhou Xingxing was not satisfied with his script and Zhou Xingxing's script, he suddenly saw such a real thing that happened in China, and he was instantly grateful, almost having the general line of the story.

What is Zhou Xingxing's life experience like?

From a dead dragon to a celebrity.

This feeling is vividly reflected in his film "The King of Comedy", which also makes this work have a somewhat autobiographical flavor.

In addition, in "Shaolin Football", "If you don't have a dream, what is the difference between being a man and a salted fish", and "Kung Fu" in which a gangster becomes a big hero, etc., focusing on small people can be said to be widely circulated.

Now, the story that comes out of Gan Jing's mind combined with reality is the story of two little people.

A joker on Weibo, even if he is a white-collar worker and a well-off family, is just a small person compared to an Internet giant like X Degree, and he must be embarrassed and helpless when faced with a threatening lawsuit demanding huge compensation.

There is a saying that is often used to joke when surfing the Internet, "I don't know if it's a person or a dog behind the Internet", but an Internet giant has enough ability to locate whether a user is a person or a dog.

When the joker was singled out of the Internet by the Internet giants, he faced not only lawsuits, but also the impact on work and family in the shadows.

Gan Jing intends to refine this character and make him a character who goes from hesitation to resolute resistance in the face of explicit and implicit oppression, so that there will be enough psychological process and choice, and moving forward after each intersection will become more and more distinct.

However, this character is played by himself.

Zhou Xingxing's role can be a lawyer, a small lawyer, an unwritten young lawyer, and a middle-aged young lawyer who is unliterate and is in the process of getting a divorce.

This is first of all a subversion of the image, and secondly, the contextual characteristics of the little people are buried in the bones.

Zhou Xingxing plays a little nonsensical lawyer who is at the bottom of the lawyer but still does not lose his original intention, what will it be like?

Balabala，Balabala……

Gan Jing said all the inspirations that came out of his mind in one breath, and occasionally there was a little bit of logic disconnected, and Zhou Xingxing would immediately interrupt the idea and make some small deductions along the way.

For example, why did the little lawyer get divorced?

Because my career has not risen, because my personality has always been optimistic and cheerful and does not bow my head - when I have money, this is called free and easy, and when I have no money, I may seem to others to be unambitious and get by.

Such a setting may not have much space in the story of the movie, but as long as it is shown, the characters can be filmed with flesh and blood.

"Well, it's about making a movie with a modern setting that is very much alive today. ”

It was half past two in the morning, and the two of them chatted about this inspiration for five hours, and Zhou Xingxing made a small conclusion at the end.

"We can also add some other expressions, such as the protection of the privacy of netizens in the Internet era, what are the giant companies doing? Moreover, those hidden participants are also perpetrators. Gan Jing came easily, "There are enough points that can be put in the movie, but it needs to be sorted out so that it doesn't look cluttered." ”

Zhou Xingxing muttered: "This story, it's not bad, you have to grind it." ”

Gan Jing's eyes flickered: "How about then?"

"I'll think about it again. Zhou Xingxing didn't give an answer immediately, this new story suddenly put forward was too sudden, and the discussion was quite enthusiastic, but you have to be cautious when making a decision, not to mention that you haven't participated in movies in recent years.

"Good. "Gan Jing didn't toss much, got up and prepared to go upstairs to the room, it would indeed be quite late, and there would be things to do tomorrow," then Xing Ye thought about it again. I think this kind of dual-role setting is not bad, the little lawyer turned over in order to become famous, and the joker turned over in order to fight against the all-round oppression of the giants, and finally ended up in the picture of two people standing in the courtroom without fear. ”

"It doesn't have to be in court, it can be represented by something symbolic. The story of this film is relatively positive, but the style cannot be too straightforward, to the point that there are reversals in small details, and you can laugh with tears. Life is moving forward in desperation, embarrassing scenes, such as the funny that can be filmed when the rent is due. Zhou Xingxing said his thoughts.

Gan Jing shook his head: "I think that being able to stop abruptly in the highest position in the courtroom will definitely make the audience have an endless aftertaste." ”

"This lawsuit is needed by both the joker and the lawyer, but it is still just a part of life, and the end will be better for the family. For example, the lawyer's marriage was repaired because of the lawsuit he still insisted on, and the joker also met the girl he liked. Zhou Xingxing still disagreed.

If that's the case, just let the lawyer divorce later in the film, and the audience will definitely think of a happy ending, which is of course satisfying, but the obstacles and troughs set in the middle are unexpected, and the divorce will be on the eve of the trial. The lawyer handled his marriage without telling the joke and went to court alone. Gan Jing said this, thought for a while, and said slowly, "In this case, if the eve falls to the lowest point, the court will immediately rebound, and the rhythm will be very good." In the end, the joker and the girl he liked were together, and the lawyer remarried!"

"Two people who have gone through the ordeal finally decided to get married together, in a small group, and to hold a wedding together. The more Gan Jing spoke, the more energetic he became, "How about it?

Zhou Xingxing sat down again and pondered, "This is not bad. But who is the heroine going to choose? The lawyer's wife, well, yes, the lawyer's marriage problem can also have such a factor, his wife is nearly ten years younger than him, and when she first came out of school, she fell in love with a lawyer in the society, and later because she also entered the society, her concept changed, and the two got along with each other. ”

Gan Jing agreed: "In this way, it will be more logical, and the characters will be more three-dimensional." Well, Master Xing, can you still perform that down-and-out and chic character taste?"

"What do you say?" Zhou Xingxing sat up straight all of a sudden, "Do you really think I'm old?"

“……”

Unconsciously, the two people who were supposed to go to rest separately started chatting again.

The hands of the clock ticked in the room.

The inspirations of the two filmmakers touched each other and burst out with artistic sparks.
