Chapter 154: Drama and Film

I don't know why, since Jin Wensheng accepted Xiao Er as an apprentice, Wang Yao unnaturally put on a senior brother's style, which is too strange. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Walking into the room, the hall today is no longer the sound of a few gentlemen talking, but also the sound of several people discussing.

Wang Yao entered the door with a question mark.

Director Xie Jin, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yiyan, Jiang Xiaojun and Director Yang Fan, plus a young literati relative to several gentlemen, his surname is Yu.

"Yo, our little hero is back. Director Xie Jin saw Wang Yao enter the door and said with a smile.

"I can't call it, I can't call it, I'm just a little Nezha. Wang Yao laughed and laughed at himself.

"Well, Nezha is flooding Chentang with seawater. You are a flooded China. Mr. Yu chuckled and said, "First time we met, but I heard about it, Mr. Qigong's retreat disciple." ”

"Hello, hello. Wang Yao shook hands and smiled, "I have admired the name for a long time, I have read your works, but I didn't expect to be able to meet me?"

"Oh, really?" Mr. Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Which ones have you read?"

"The Manuscript of the History of Drama Theory, The History of Drama Culture in the Dragon Kingdom, and The Aesthetic Psychology of Drama are my enlightenment books for drama. Wang Yao smiled and said, "You don't bother me, I never speak." ”

"It's a clever young man, sir, blessed. Mr. Yu smiled and turned to Mr. Qigong and said.

"How's the matter of the troupe resolved?" asked Mr. Qigong with a smile and a wave of his hand.

"Almost, if there is no problem, the show will be rolled out and ready to go to the big show. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"One of my students showed me his review of the movie, and I was very touched, but unfortunately now I am so infamous that I can't help you promote it. Mr. Yu smiled, "If I promote it, your play is either rotten or rotten." ”

"Mr. doesn't argue with the world, the literati are resolute, my generation is a model, I can't, as soon as I am scolded, I think about how to take revenge. Wang Yao smiled.

"The words on the wall, you wrote?" Mr. Yu asked, pointing to the two aphorisms on the wall.

Wang Yao nodded, "Yes." ”

"I can't fault all the spirits. Mr. Yu said with a smile.

"Alright, don't praise him. Mr. Qigong smiled, "The matter over there is solved, and you can also listen to the matter of several big directors here." ”

"What's wrong?" Wang Yao blinked, looking at several big directors suspiciously.

"I originally wanted to come over to visit Mr. Qigong and see if you have a good relationship by the way, but I heard that Mr. said that you are going to make a movie, so we will talk to you. Director Xie Jin smiled, "What do you think?"

"Well, my mind is Hollywood. Wang Yao paused for a moment and said with a dry smile.

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Wang Yao in amazement, there is no one in the entire Chinese director circle who has no ideas about Hollywood, but what can be achieved is currently only Director Li Yan, if it is a young man, they think that it may be that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

But I don't know why Wang Yaoyi said that they actually took it seriously, after all, being able to write a book like "The Legend of Wu Xun" at this age is indeed a genius.

"Tell me what you think?" Director Xie Jin came back to his senses and asked with a frown.

"I'm still making up the story, it's based on the theme of the zodiac, a series of themes of popular science Chinese zodiac, the reason for choosing Hollywood is that the market over there is big and it can make money. Wang Yao scratched his head a little shyly, after all, he was going for money, and it was a bit embarrassing to say it, but the other side was a big director who was engaged in art.

Wang Yao's words did not get ridicule, but made these directors look at each other a little, and after being silent for a while, Jiang Xiaojun smiled and said, "Don't say it, I think it's feasible." ”

"Now there doesn't seem to be a talented director in the Dragon Kingdom, who is running for money, all of them are running for feelings and art districts, you are a maverick. Chen Kaige also looked at Wang Yao with strange eyes, "Interesting." ”

"The ancients said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, if you are running for money, the commercial film you shoot may really have surprises. Zhang Yiyan also nodded thoughtfully, "We can't do it, the purpose is wrong." ”

"And we can't change it, in the words of young people now, it's that Wenqing is terminally ill, so it can't be linked to Western commercial films, but the West can't appreciate our oriental feelings, and the two sides are not very good. Director Yang Fan also nodded and said.

Wang Yao blinked, "You mean, I'm right?"

"Wrong, why do you think so?" Director Xie Jin paused.

"Well, after all, movies are an art, and I made it so utilitarian, did I tarnish art?" Wang Yao said with some embarrassment.

"Wrong. Jiang Xiaojun smiled and shook his head: "Making money is also an art." ”

Wang Yao was stunned.

"As long as it's single-minded, it's right, but doing things to make money under the banner of art is disgusting. Zhang Yiyan smiled, "Your purpose is to go for money, there's nothing wrong with it." ”

Wang Yao was suddenly encouraged, and smiled, "Really?"

"But. Chen Kaige said again, "Movies are still art first, you go for money, and you must abide by the Basic Law." ”

Wang Yao was stunned.

"The story, the plot, the expression, the actors, the production, the editing, these are all basic, different from writing opera, you write a play, you have to be able to sing, you have to be able to make up, and you have to find faults. Mr. Yu interjected, "It's not as easy as you think. ”

"This kid is still very good at singing. At this time, the big gentleman who had not spoken said lightly.

Everyone was stunned.

"I can write, sing and compose, but opera is my major, and I still don't understand a little bit about movies. Wang Yao scratched his head and smiled.

"You have to be realistic about the situation. Director Xie Jin pondered for a moment and said.

"We have to reflect on humanity and the times. Chen Kaige then said.

"Beautiful. Director Yang Fan said with a smile.

Zhang Yiyan looked at everyone, "I think that my film has a strong sense of form, or a kind of characteristic." ”

"I'm not as good as my seniors, and I'm all about having fun. Jiang Xiaojun said with a smile, "Tell a tragic story happily, and interpret the darkness from the sunny side." ”

Wang Yao arched his hand at several people.

"A few of them are talking about artistic things. Mr. Yu smiled, "As for professional things, you have to find out by yourself, didn't you work as an art director for Director Yang Fan? You should also pay attention to shooting, is Director Zhang going to make the next movie? ”

"Don't say it, really, are you good at martial arts?" Zhang Yiyan smiled.

Wang Yao didn't speak, and flipped over in the air on the spot.

"Good fellows!" exclaimed the crowd.

"It's ready, everyone can eat. At this time, Aunt Sun shouted in the back kitchen.

"Let's go, let's talk while we eat. Mr. Big stood up and smiled, and everyone got up to follow.

Director Xie Jin and others came to visit Mr. Qigong, just to form a good relationship with Wang Yao, this time the lifting of the ban on the movie "The Legend of Wu Xun" was officially submitted, with the support of public opinion, nine times out of ten it will be successful, this is a breakthrough in the film industry, so everyone is also very grateful to Wang Yao for providing this opportunity.

In addition, most of these directors are opera fans, although they are all Peking Opera fans, they also take great care of the younger generations of opera actors, and some young opera actors who can't get along in the system defect to them, and they will also help arrange a meal in the film and television industry.

In the early years, it was the opera actors who led the film industry, and in the early years, the movies were all opera sales well, so Liyuan Xing can also be regarded as a favor for the film industry of the Dragon Kingdom.

In the past few years, Liyuan Xing has declined, and a large number of young opera actors who have not caught up with the good times have defected to the film industry, which has solved the urgent need for the vacancy of actors in the film year, and the basic skills of opera actors are good, and the stage experience is good, although there will be some problems with the performance form, but it is much better than that of new actors.

Moreover, when martial arts movies were emerging, they all relied on opera actors to support them, and basically all martial arts actors were inseparable from Liyuan Xing.

The Xiangjiang action movies led by kung fu superstar Fang Long on the Xiangjiang side are all 'Xiyuanzi' schools opened by martial artists who got up early in Liyuan after they took root in Xiangjiang, such as Fang Long's Seven Little Blessings is the Xiangjiang Longguo Drama Research Institute.

In addition, there are two theaters that have obvious actions, Lin Zhengying of the Spring and Autumn Theater is the father of zombie films, and Cheng Xiaodong of the Oriental Theater has directed the filming of big movies such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

Because Liyuan Xing's martial arts movements are handsome, and there is a routine beauty, it is very beautiful in movie shooting, and the plasticity is very high, compared with the kind of somewhat barbaric fist-to-flesh violent actions abroad, there is a lot more beauty and freehand belonging to the oriental aesthetics.

Of course, another treasure of China, Chinese martial arts has also produced several action superstars, and the action movies led by Li Lianjie combine the 'Tao' and 'Yi' of Chinese martial arts, although they may not be as good as the martial arts of Liyuan Xing in terms of aesthetics, but there is a more masculine beauty.

This is also the fact that Chinese films can create a kung fu movie craze in Hollywood under the difficult environment of white Chinese exclusion in those years, and Bruce Lee, Fang Long and Li Lian are all indispensable pioneers.

The success of kung fu movies proves the charm and mystery of China, but the successive movies have failed in Hollywood for various reasons, and they have never been recognized by mainstream audiences, and they are also somewhat different from the West in art, so for so many years, only director Li Yu, as a representative of Chinese directors, has stood in Hollywood.

But it has an inseparable relationship with director Li Yu to learn film in the West, director Li Yu knows what Westerners want, and at the same time can shoot a freehand that belongs to China, and neutralize the two, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the best example.
