Chapter 967 Fool
Chapter 967: Fool
"Looks Beautiful" failed at the box office, which is very normal in Song Zheng's opinion, there is no market for movies with this theme in China at all, if it is really released and the box office is red, it will be a strange thing.
In fact, it is a miracle that this movie can pass the censorship in China and be released smoothly.
Besides, Zhang Yuan really fought hard for this movie, and even his daughter went into battle in person, starring as the female number one Nanyan in the play, such a big gimmick failed to attract people's attention, and who else could complain.
Song Zheng is very open to this kind of thing, he is not just a company to make money, especially such a good story, if it is not filmed, it will be a pity!
"Okay! I didn't say anything about what was expected, are you so depressed!?"
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I've thought of it for a long time, but seriously, what do you think of this film!?"
"How?"
Needless to say!?
It is no exaggeration to say that "Looks Beautiful" is the most awesome Chinese film Song Zheng has seen this year.
What touched him was not those vague childhood memories that had long passed, but the fact that he felt that he was also the square gun in that movie.
Watching movies by other directors is either pure entertainment, curiosity, or care, but "Looks Beautiful" made Song Zheng see his shadow, eager to be pampered, always falling into loneliness, and always trying to change for himself to live better, just like those children in kindergarten who always yearn to get those little red flowers.
Although these little red flowers are only thin pieces of paper, they represent the reward and punishment mechanism commonly implemented in human society.
Perhaps almost everyone was once a square gun, with deviant pigtails, naked, holding up a wild little bean and sprinkling a bubble of warm urine on the cold earth in the dreamy snowflakes.
As Rousseau talks about in "The Dream of a Lonely Walker": We are born into an arena and cannot leave until the time of death, sooner or later.
After all, the square guns were inevitably pushed into the "Little Red Flower" mechanic, and began to want to accept it, adapt to it, and become a member of it.
In the movie, he carefully wrapped the thin piece of red paper and hid it in his arms, fantasizing about adding bright red chips after his name to the narrow "reward list".
The process of integration is inevitable, and the possibility of doubt is also there, and at the beginning of the emergence of Wang Ruhai's father who was a minister in the context, the frustration of the square gun gave rise to his questioning of the mechanism.
At this point, the authority of the little red flower was not only weakened, but even turned into a terrifying flower of evil, so the issue of rebellion naturally rose.
The mechanism representative of Mr. Li imitates the orangutan, which is almost terrifying, and such a fragment seems to show that there is actually only a piece of paper between the civilized order of human beings and the animal nature of the jungle.
The so-called leader and regulatory figure in the mechanism has now become a monster that can eat people.
Fang Gun is a rare rebel, he seems brave and intelligent, knows how to encourage and motivate, he is a necessary character in an uprising.
However, the senseless resistance struggle is more fragile than imagined, and the end of the suppression is natural, the "rumor-monger" Fang Gun Gun was finally isolated by the kindergarten system, but he gained a different horizon, he escaped the high red wall, and came to the "adult world" he longed for, only to find that there was a bigger red flower blooming there.
What could he do?
Where to escape?
Can you still "figure out how to get out" like Rousseau?
At the end of the film, Fang Gun's weak body is at a loss to return to the red wall of the kindergarten, lying in the shadows and falling asleep.
It can be said that the idea of "Looks Beautiful" is very bold, but also extremely clear and shallow, when Zhang Yuan chooses to adapt Wang Shuo's book, he must put himself in the position of a sober person to avoid falling into the quagmire of mechanism.
But who can not be among them?
When the staff corrected the children's performances, made them recite their lines, and even used some rewarding and punishing material or spiritual words to achieve the filming effect, they had fallen into the huge irony they had set for themselves.
In this regard, it can only be said that it is fortunate that human beings have the comfort given by art, and can look back at the shadow cast by their own hearts under the light of their wisdom.
The change of mechanism is always surging, and the people living in the society can only sleep under the shadow of the flowers, and the sleep is still one step away from death, if they can still have a dream of reflection.
After watching the sample, Song Zheng wanted to thank Zhang Yuan for teaching them that adults should have a yearning for freedom.
But Song Zheng also felt sorry for Zhang Yuan, after the release of "Looks Beautiful", many people criticized the movie, and it is obvious that some people misunderstood the movie.
Some people say that movies are not as good, Song Zheng thinks that these people want this movie to have Wang Shuo's humor and humor, and they have the mentality of watching comedy and cute children's films, of course, the result is undoubtedly disappointing.
What's even more ridiculous is that part of it is misunderstood by watching other people's misunderstandings, just imagine, watching other people's works with malice, of course, losing the original beauty of the movie.
Sadly, some people just compare this film with their favorite American blockbusters, feeling that our own Chinese directors have the same realm as other American bigwigs, and they can't wait to crush and trample our own people to death.
And the terrible thing is that some people didn't even watch it seriously, and they didn't finish watching it, so they began to scold stupidly, thinking that they could show their taste for movies?
In this regard, Song Zheng only has two words to describe ignorance!
Zhang Yuan originally wanted to let ignorant people know their current situation through this movie, but he was mutilated by ignorant people.
In addition to being a product of entertainment, movies can and should have other meanings.
Why are people nowadays only willing to watch movies that are only fun and exciting for less than two hours, and reject those movies that are still memorable after two hours?
I really don't know how to settle accounts!
Zhang Yuan, as the first person in Chinese independent films, is a success!
He constantly touched the nerves of this society, tried topics that other directors did not dare to touch, and in order for the film to meet the Chinese people, he was also the first director to walk from the underground to the surface, and then other independent filmmakers walked in the footsteps of Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan is always the "first", but there is a saying that "the gun shoots the first bird".
Zhang Yuan's courage did not bring him the recognition he deserved, but accepted people's malicious attacks again and again.
From this point of view, Zhang Yuan is also very similar to the square gun in the movie.
"Depressed!" Zhang Yuan sighed, feeling a little lonely and lonely.
Song Zheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and said: "Why is this still sighing, okay! It's almost over, you still have less to do! There is no shortage of this time, unless you don't win movies in your life." ”
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly when he heard this, how could that be possible.
The square gun in the movie has fallen asleep alone, but Zhang Yuan will continue to speak with his film, even if there are only so many people who can resonate with it.
This kind of persistence sometimes seems really silly, and it is rare to be recognized by people, but it still persists, holding back its energy to teach people something, or to make people reflect after watching the movie.
Zhang Yuan is such a fool, he knows how to be flexible, so he will be the first to go from underground to the ground and become the first independent director in the so-called Chinese film and television industry, but what he insists on is more persistent than many people who are already lying underground and stubbornly fighting against the system.
"I'll dredge it up for you, the Cannes Film Festival in the second half of the year, and when the time comes, you will take this film to the exhibition!"
As soon as Zhang Yuan picked up the wine glass, when he heard Song Zheng say this, he was stunned and speechless for a while.
"What? You don't want to go yet!?"
Don't want to go?
If you don't want to go, you'll be a fool.
"I'll go!"
Zhang Yuan didn't say a word of thanks, he knew that Song Zheng definitely didn't like to hear it, besides, if he wanted to say it, he had already said it when Song Zheng agreed to take over.
"Do I need to prepare anything?"
"No, I'll let someone arrange it!" Song Zheng said and got up, "Okay! Don't talk to Mo, it's so late, I should go back, my daughter-in-law just came back today, we haven't met again for a long time, but let you pull out to drink, go home, my daughter-in-law will definitely have to make trouble with me again! Besides, I have to get up early tomorrow!"
Zhang Yuan asked casually: "You are quite interested in that TV series!"
Song Zheng smiled, and his friends all knew that when he filmed "Struggle", he actually wanted to rest, and he didn't have to work so hard to toss himself.
"Tomorrow the crew has a day off, and I'm going to go to Li Yang's side to have a look, what's the matter?
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "Pull it down! I'm already depressed, if I go with you to Li Yang's side again, I will have to be depressed!"
Song Zheng couldn't help laughing, Zhang Yuan said well, with Li Yang's person, he can't be depressed, which can only show that his mentality is really strong.
"When Li Yang heard your words, he must have thought that you were praising him!"
Even Song Zheng was almost depressed when he was filming "Blind Well" with Li Yang, that guy was a madman, a complete madman, he was not only crazy alone, but also changed the way to make the whole crew go crazy with him.
"Gone!"
Zhang Yuan watched Song Zheng leave, and he didn't mean to get up to send it off, it's a buddy, there's no need to play those virtual things!
