In the next two days, Liu Chen's mood has been very happy, getting up on time every morning to run, running to the river embankment next to him to climb high and look into the distance, the mood is extremely comfortable, repeatedly watching "The King of Comedy" and "Shaolin Football", these two movies are very interesting to watch, and the feeling is different every time I watch it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Chen kept looking at the analysis, and tried to analyze in his brain the shooting technique of no scene, if I were a director, what should I do if I wanted to shoot such a scene, where should the camera be placed, what kind of performance should the actors make, lighting requirements, etc.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chen was thinking about "Shaolin Football" while running hard, "Film Weekly" had interviewed Director Zhou, and when he was taking pictures of him, he suddenly said seriously that he was filming "The King of Comedy" because of emotional frustration, and filming "Shaolin Football" was because of career disappointment.

Considering that Director Zhou likes the truth and falsehood the most, people can't see through his true intentions, from "Shaolin Football", Liu Chen didn't see that it had anything to do with career frustration, but felt that there seemed to be an emotional line implied, and "The King of Comedy" also watched it, and he didn't see emotional frustration, but vaguely felt a career line.

Could it be that Director Zhou said the opposite, filming "The King of Comedy" because of career disappointment, filming "Shaolin Football" because of emotional disappointment, "The King of Comedy" is the first Xiangjiang box office champion film that Director Zhou has shot after regaining strength, and it is the first time after six years that he has won the championship again.

Before filming "Shaolin Football", Director Zhou broke up with the object of the scandal and became a real loner.

Three days later, in the afternoon, the narration of the movie began, Wang Lai did not teach Liu Chen to act or anything like that, mainly because she herself was not very good at this part, and she had great expectations for him and hoped to cultivate him directly.

is still the huge study room like a small screening hall, Wang Lai put the film of "Shaolin Football" into it, fixed it at the beginning, and said: ""Shaolin Football" and "The King of Comedy" are too closely related, although we are mainly talking about "Shaolin Football" today, but "The King of Comedy" must also be brought into the analysis, so that there will be no omissions, let's start now." ”

Liu Chen played with the spirit of twelve points, and this time the appreciation of "Shaolin Football" can be said to have spent a lot of energy, and there is a sense of accepting the school examination.

Liu Chen said: ""Film Weekly" interviewed Director Zhou, and when taking pictures of him, he suddenly said seriously that he made "The King of Comedy" because of emotional frustration, and "Shaolin Football" because of career disappointment, I feel that Director Zhou seems to be saying the opposite. ”

Wang Lai interrupted him first and said: "Don't speculate about how to be frustrated for the time being, let's solve a problem first, a director really has endless bitter stories and good intentions behind his movies, which people often don't see and don't care about, you first talk about the main line and perspective of this movie." ”

Let's take a look at the main line of the story first, at the beginning, the golden right foot was greedy and his leg was broken, because of the contradiction with Qiangxiong, he ran away lonely, and met a strong King Kong leg A Xing who wanted to promote Shaolin martial arts in front of Times Square, that is, the role played by Director Zhou himself, and buried an inconspicuous but very important foreshadowing later - kicking a beer can.

Immediately afterwards, Ah Xing bought steamed buns and met Ah Mei, and another dark line also began to pave the way, which carried out a nonsensical singing and dancing, which incidentally led to Ah Xing feeling that Shaolin kung fu plus singing and dancing had a head, so he went to find the senior brother Tietou Gong, pointed out the survival status of the senior brother, and sang the paragraph "Shaolin Kung Fu is good", which led to the partners who later played football together, and when fighting, the golden right foot finally discovered Ah Xing's potential, and it also smoothly and naturally brought out the Shaolin kung fu plus football point of view.

After some setbacks, the Shaolin football team trained on a bare dirt field, relying on the complete overhaul of the car mechanics who were called "like floating clouds" to recover the national magic hidden in their bodies. The Devils, on the other hand, use U.S. intelligence-level instruments to increase their shooting power at the bottom of the pool.

The Shaolin team went all the way to the finals easily and happily, and the Shaolin miracle was no match for the "devil" who had beaten the United States with fierce medicine, which made the soldiers lose their troops and be in danger. In fact, this is also Director Zhou's consistent thinking, what will happen when traditional Chinese things meet the influx of things from the United States? Will Shaolin Kung Fu be strong, or will American medicine be fierce? By extension, what will happen when the traditional Chinese culture is invaded by American Hollywood blockbusters?

In the end, the victory brought by Mantou Ame is idealized. Can Shaolin's magic really outperform unscrupulous high-tech? Just as whether nonsensical myths can really compete with Hollywood's renovated tricks, Director Zhou is certainly not sure.

Besides, can the situation really be said to be a "confrontation"? You see, when the Shaolin team won a big victory, the people set off an upsurge in martial arts, and the white-collar workers used light skills to take the bus, it was the cover of "TIME" magazine that was used to flaunt success, not a certain weekly or daily newspaper in China, which also shows that Director Zhou and people all over the world also felt that the American magazine "TIME" had the greatest influence.

After listening to this, Wang Lai nodded frequently, it can be said that Liu Chen now understands the structure of the movie very well, and said with a smile: "This movie is by no means simple, there are many lines in it that are very meaningful, for example, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between being a man and a salted fish? Second senior brother, in fact, fate is in your own hands; you have to have confidence in yourself, you are the best; kung fu is definitely suitable for men, women and children, fighting and killing is just people's misunderstanding of him, kung fu is more of an art, an unyielding spirit!"

Saying that, Wang Lai couldn't help but glance at Liu Chen, she saw the same characteristics as Zhou Xingxing from Liu Chen, these two people also have dreams, it is precisely for this reason that she asked Liu Chen to analyze this "Shaolin Football" with good intentions.

This film is a great example of this, with a lot of directorial language expressed under a catchy story package.

Liu Chen also realized, nodded and said: ""Shaolin Football", with the increase in the number of views, the feeling is different every time, at first I just felt funny, focusing on Director Zhou's nonsense, I will feel sad after watching it a few more times, the situation of the characters in the play is reflecting the sadness of Chinese society, you must know that Director Zhou has always wanted to promote Chinese martial arts like Mr. Bruce Lee, just say Korean taekwondo, In Japanese judo, people with high rank can be respected and make a living from it, but in today's Chinese society, even if you learn advanced martial arts, what will happen?"

Liu Chen can be said to have a deep understanding of this, and he is very excited to say it, "The answer is given in the movie, the six brothers have practiced their skills, but they are all cleaning toilets, brushing toilets, washing dishes, supermarket brothers, collecting garbage and fake finance, and they do not make a living because of the skills they have learned, or have any social status, which raises a question? How to carry forward kung fu? This is also what Director Zhou himself has been thinking about, from the previous combination of kung fu and food in "God of Food", in "Shaolin Football" At the beginning, I was looking for how to promote Shaolin Kung Fu, whether it was combined with singing and dancing, or with football, I have to say that it was a kind of helplessness. ”

Wang Lai was very satisfied and said: "The first step of this movie analysis is completed, so there is another step below, especially the film directed by Zhou Xingxing, this step is even more essential, that is, starting from what the director said about the film itself, has this information been collected?"

Liu Chen nodded and began to speak.

Many people take it for granted that the main story line of "The King of Comedy" is Director Zhou's own summary and affirmation of his performance form over the past ten years. But when reporters repeatedly asked if "The King of Comedy" was his own story, Director Zhou sometimes answered in the affirmative, sometimes in the negative. It's strange that only the answer to this question is in style, as vague as he is answering about who his girlfriend is.

Before the end of the story, he said this chilling line: "Actually, I don't have much talent for acting, I'd better be an audience." ”

In this movie, Director Zhou's acting skills have reached the highest level of "cold humor".

……

Wang Lai didn't expect Liu Chen to do so much homework, and he simply included every sentence that Director Zhou said, and he really did understand the director's personality and his own characteristics, and he looked forward to his appreciation this time, and couldn't help asking: "Then what hidden information have you found based on the movie and Director Zhou's experience?"

This question can be regarded as scratching Liu Chen's itch, in the process of watching "Shaolin Football" repeatedly, I have always felt that I seem to have ignored something important, interspersed with the touching preciousness in the movie, after watching it dozens of times, I realized it, and I said it immediately.

The emotional line implied in the film, the dilapidated ball game, symbolizes the emotional line from beginning to end.

"I think it's also Director Zhou's examination of his own feelings, and since then, there have been no scandals, and there seems to be a sense of enlightenment about feelings, and he also gives his own ideal feelings. ”

Wang Lai encouraged: "Go on." ”

"When King Kong leg Ah Xing did not become famous, because of the steamed buns, the shoes with a few holes were mortgaged to Ah Mei, and she was very excited to see her use Tai Chi kung fu to make steamed buns, at that time, both of them were small people, one picked up garbage, the other made steamed buns, and Ah Xing encouraged Ah Mei to have self-confidence and believe that he was the best, in fact, while encouraging Ah Mei, he was also telling himself. ”

"At the bottom of the society, he has the dream of spreading Chinese martial arts, and has always been firm in this dream, but others will scoff at him, as he himself said, he once told the principal that he is best at kung fu, can you teach other students kung fu, and was kicked out by the principal. ”

"There is a plot in which Ah Xing, in order to give Ah Mei confidence, specially took her to a big shopping mall to see those beautiful clothes, but the price was to wash the floor for others, and said to Ah Mei: I tell you, I am going to play football tomorrow, and I will definitely be popular half the sky, but if you didn't help me mend these shoes at that time, maybe I wouldn't have played football. You know how important you are to me, and tell me what you like, and I'll be able to give it to you soon. ”

And Amei also seemed to sense the distance between the two of them, and said: If you are popular, give me a pair of sneakers. ”

Ah Xing said: This is no problem, but I think you should also be a little confident, in fact, you are very beautiful, and your martial arts are strong. ”

This relationship is also very similar to Director Zhou's first love, just like what he said to his first love Juanmei on the eve of filming "Thunderbolt Pioneer" after six years of hard work.

After Ah Xing and other brothers became famous, they found Ah Mei again, and Ah Mei redesigned a ghost shape with Ah Xing's encouragement, but she found her own self-confidence, especially the part where the boss scolded her, she said confidently: I am Ah Mei, I just like this look.

Amei asked Ah Xing, "I like you." ”

Ah Xing happily replied, "I like you too." ”

Amei asked again: "Then are we in love like this?"

"Of course it's not love, we'll always be good friends. ”

Then, when Amei was very disappointed, she said, "That's good, you can still look for me often in the future, my shoes are broken, I can repair them for you"

Ah Xing said: "No, I'll just throw away the shoes if they're broken, and we all have to look forward! I'll never wear them again." ”

This is also an expression of a kind of money, the mentality changes, likes the new and hates the old, this is a universal commonality of human beings, in fact, it is not the director's own mental journey, after becoming famous, he fell in love with Zhu Yin, who made a movie together, and the relationship with Juan Mei ended without a problem.

This may also be Xing Ye's own confusion, after he became famous, the definition of first love may feel that it is just mutual support, just liking, not love. In 1992, Director Zhou filmed "Truant Weilong 2", and after meeting Zhu Yin, the situation changed.

Director Liu Zhenwei recalled that one day he sat with Director Zhou in a hotel for dinner, and Director Zhou told him: "I don't know why I fall in love with a girl so easily." ”

Liu Zhenwei replied with a smile at the time: "I said please don't abuse the word 'love', you are called Huaxin!" After hearing this, he felt very bored, bowed his head to eat and stopped talking. I felt afterwards that Xingzi was mainly too lonely, and smart people were lonely. ”

Then, Ah Xing came to find Ah Mei the day before the finals, but found that Ah Mei was no longer there, and only after asking the boss lady did he know that after hearing that the steamed buns made by Ah Mei were bitter and astringent, the answer was finally revealed, it turned out that Ah Mei secretly shed tears, and after Ah Xing heard it, when he tasted the bitter steamed buns, the close-up of the side expressed his heart well, at that moment, Xing should have a deeper understanding of love, and began to deny the previous view that the first love was just a love and not love.

Wang Lai was completely fascinated.
