If he hadn't known that Feng Xiaogang had been confused by Zhang Yimou's "Hero" at this time, and his mind was not clear, when Feng Xiaogang was talking about his blockbuster plan, Song Zheng couldn't help but rush up and knock out the two small front teeth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's really a good brother, there are pits and they all drag and jump together!

In fact, Song Zheng has always wondered why these big domestic directors suddenly took turns filming martial arts blockbusters as if they were collectively poisoned.

When Song Zheng heard that Feng Xiaogang was going to make a blockbuster in his last life, he was also excited, the wonderful films broadcast on TV, Feng Xiaogang's confident confession in building momentum again and again, and the grand appearance at the Venice Film Festival instantly raised his expectations.

However, after watching it, Song Zheng had nothing to say, and he, a hardcore Feng movie fan, couldn't wait to carry a bucket of paint, and all splashed Feng Xiaogang on their door.

Although "Night Banquet" does not have the obvious problems of the previous martial arts blockbusters, it is really not much stronger.

Therefore, Song Zheng was puzzled at the time, why did Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang follow in the footsteps of Zhang Yimou to make blockbusters?

Some people say that they make blockbusters to make money, some people say that they are to win awards, maybe these factors are all there, but the hidden reasons seem to be hidden deeper.

Zhang Yimou made "Hero" first, saying that it was for transformation, innovation, saving national films, and impacting the Oscars, but the movie was made with mixed reviews, and even in the circle of scholars, it can be said that there are bricks.

Zhang Yimou said that he didn't care, but he actually cared very much, and he was not convinced, and then made a "Ambush on All Sides". The advertising slogans are all aimed at the previous criticism of "Hero".

What is to shoot the love of ordinary people, to move the audience, but unfortunately it was filmed, and the audience was even more dissatisfied, and Lao Mouzi had to temporarily withdraw his troops, which was equivalent to a default failure.

Of course, Lao Mouzi's breath was not so easy to swallow, so he took a break for a year, and he wanted to get a golden armor again, and this time it was not a brick that flew in, but a bomb.

But Zhang Yimou has obviously proved with "Hero" that although this road is not impassable, at least it is difficult to walk, but the failure of his martial arts blockbuster made Chen Kaige feel that the opportunity had come, and he wanted to prove to everyone who is the leader of China's fifth generation of directors and who is the boss of today's Chinese film industry.

So, now the place where you fall is where I stand proudly, if I make a martial arts blockbuster and the audience shouts good, it proves that I am better than you, and I am the boss.

So Chen Kaige tossed for three years, invested hundreds of millions, and even found international movie stars, but the scolding was even worse, arousing the spoof emotions of many folk masters, and they all stinked internationally.

Chen Kaige also lost, and Feng Xiaogang, who vowed not to make blockbusters, couldn't sit still.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are both majors, and they are not the same as Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang has been taunting Zhang Yimou openly and secretly before, and Chen Kaige pretended to be deep.

Now in the place where the two fell, if Feng someone stands, then I am the boss.

In fact, everyone knows that these three people can be called the bosses in the Chinese film industry today, and they are all relatively old, the first two have cultural backgrounds and international awards, and Feng Xiaogang has a market.

Therefore, on the issue of making martial arts blockbusters, the reason why the three heavyweight directors consciously chose to write essays on the same topic is clearly to compete and prove themselves.

But the three directors didn't think clearly, the high investment and exquisite production of blockbusters have raised the audience's aesthetic taste, and the audience's expectations are higher and higher every time, and they are more difficult to serve each time, if there is no major breakthrough in the new film, and the production team even uses the same set, how can the audience feel satisfied?

In fact, Feng Xiaogang wanted to shoot "Night Banquet", but he pushed himself into a dangerous situation.

If "Hero" pretends to be a tough guy and pretends to have some achievements, then "Night Banquet" is a big thunder drama full of slots.

The biggest slot is the change to the original work of "Hamlet", the master's classic, which is meticulous, and it is difficult to change it casually. The small steel cannon doesn't believe in evil, and it doesn't know what to do, but the result is a little change, and the plate is full of slots.

How is Hamlet different from The Night Feast?

First of all, Hamlet is a literary opera, and the night banquet is a martial arts. The queen in Hamlet is the prince's biological mother, but the queen at the night banquet is the prince's old love.

After Hamlet's uncle kills the old king, he is confident that he is unaware of the ghost, and the princess is Hamlet's biological mother, so he has no intention of harming Hamlet, only wariness. And after Uncle Wang in "Night Banquet" usurped the throne, he immediately sent someone to assassinate the prince who was studying ritual music.

The martial arts scene at the beginning of the film is really good-looking, but unfortunately there are too many failures, because only his uncle has no intention of killing Hamlet, so he can calmly go home to mourn, because his mother is his own, so he can come and go to the palace at will.

However, since "Night Banquet" put the prince and uncle under the life-and-death relationship from the beginning, how could the prince enter the palace without hesitation after escaping, and after the palace.

How could the prince be unhindered when he did not identify himself and covered his face unkempt?

Even if his martial arts are extremely high, in the bright and open palace, he will not unscrupulously compare fists and feet with the queen and flirt wantonly.

And the emperor obviously heard their flirtation, and the conversation about the struggle for imperial power, how could he still tolerate this powerful contender for the throne and love?

It's a pity that Feng Xiaogang has made a lot of mistakes in previous blockbusters, and one of them is that the characters are illogical.

The prince came back and lived in an inexplicable place, was it the palace or the home of the young girl?

How can both the queen and the young girl be easily approached?

This doesn't matter, the emperor wants to kill the prince, just find a few people and deal with it, but no, you must achieve it by competing with the samurai in the palace, and then a few first-class samurai come up to besiege the prince, and the audience is only the queen and the emperor, and one of the samurai secretly replaced the wooden sword with a real sword, and used this blatant stupid method to assassinate.

This scene is so stupid, it's obviously a murder, why does the prince want to participate?

When the samurai changed their swords, the emperor deliberately squinted and pretended not to see, but fortunately, the queen's kung fu was good and she helped at critical moments, which was too puppetry.

And this young girl, what kind of role is it?

The daughter of a minister, but she can enter and leave the palace at will, this heavily guarded palace is like a vegetable market, whoever wants to come comes, who wants to talk, who speaks.

When the prince was about to be sent to Khitan as a hostage, the young girl didn't know where to come out of nowhere to apply for companionship.

When the emperor feasted the ministers, the queen gave poisoned wine to the emperor, and was about to succeed, when the young girl came out again, saying that she wanted to offer a song, obviously this was an unexpected program, why did the palace perform so casually?

This queen is also very good, not to mention kung fu, she can also play polo, she can flirt with the prince casually, and she can also go in and out of the downtown to buy poison alone, but the son of the minister who returned to the dynasty for a few days also came to visit this dilapidated house that sells wild medicine, and conspired with the queen here to poison the emperor and rebel.

Looking at the section where the crown prince performed in the palace to expose the emperor's poisoning of the emperor, why did Hamlet let the troupe do this? Because he was suspicious of what his father's ghost said to him, he wanted to test the emperor's uncle, but in "Night Banquet", your uncle is going to kill you? Everything is very clear, you are still performing here, isn't that looking for a draw? Sure enough, the imperial uncle sent him away as a hostage on the spot.

The plot is unreasonable, the character settings are messy, and it makes Song Zheng feel collapsed after watching this drama in his last life.

Why did Song Zheng and many other viewers laugh? Not because they were funny, but because the lines were nondescript, and for a while they were full of ancient meaning, and for a while they were full of ancient meaning, and for a while they were full of foreign accents, and they were panicked, and for a while they were mixed with one or two common sayings, which seemed to be life-like, but the actual effect was the opposite, and for a while, they were the poetry of modern people, which made people laugh.

Why is this happening?

Song Zheng thinks it's mainly because the choreographer doesn't know how the ancient emperor should speak, let alone how this imported Chinese and foreign hybrid emperor speaks?

So the actors' lines are very tight, very stiff, and all artificial.

All directors who make costume martial arts films should repeatedly study "New Dragon Gate Inn", the ancients and ancient emperors were also human beings, and they should be allowed to speak and speak like human beings.

Then there is the individual pictures of "Night Banquet" that are too violent, when chasing and killing the prince at the beginning, the companions were washed in blood, which was really bloody, and the minister was killed with a rod in the middle, and even the TM emperor said that "it was really cruel".

There are also two flirting and sexual, violent and violent scenes, although the camera is not exposed much, but none of the shots are exciting, teasing the audience's senses, these seem to be enough ratings.

In short, Director Feng painstakingly tossed out "The Night Banquet", and the plot structure almost completely copied Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Lust, power, intrigue, and revenge become the whole theme of this story.

The result is naturally completely deviated, it turns out that Feng Xiaogang is local, current, grassroots, ruffian, and witty, but he wants to break himself into a global, universal, elegant, noble, and pathetic, so the inherent Feng Xiaogang in the audience's impression is gone, and a strange "Feng Shibia" appears in front of people.

Feng Xiaogang coaxed that he was going to transform, but in Song Zheng's view, what kind of transformation is this, it is simply turning his head and taking the big top.

If there is any difference between "The Night Banquet" and "Hamlet", then "Hamlet" is at least a tragedy of character, the tragedy is the split personality of the revenge prince himself, and the phrase tobeornottobe is a portrayal of his self-struggle, he hovers between patricide and submission, and tosses and turns in the field of power and lust, which is also a mystery that human beings can never solve.

Obviously, Hamlet, the melancholy, hesitant prince, is the focus of the play "Hamlet".

In comparison, the focus of "Night Banquet" is no longer on the prince, but on the queen played by the international chapter, this woman is insidious, vicious, and has a possession and greed for power and sex.

In the process of retelling the prototype of the story of Shakespeare's power and revenge, Feng Xiaogang invoked a Chinese-style concept of cause and effect, which is the so-called praying mantis catching cicadas, with the yellow finch behind. He loves the country and the beauty, combines cruelty and abuse, and finally dies in the arms of the beauty he loves.

But Song Zheng was puzzled, why did Emperor Li drink that cup of Hedinghong poisonous wine by himself?

Feng Xiaogang's explanation is that Emperor Li is still an obsessed disciple in his bones, and when he found out that his favorite concubine actually poisoned him in wine, he could no longer find a reason to live secretly, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit of his brewing, and closed his greedy eyes in his lover's arms.

Isn't this TM?

Uncle Ge worked hard for a long time, killed his brother, and killed his nephew, just for the international chapter.

So, Uncle Ge died, Shuai Wu died, Zhou Xun died, Baby's Hasben also died, and finally, when the international chapter ascended the throne of the queen and became a loner, a flying knife came through the stomach, and in the blood splashed, she also died.

What the hell is this TM going to do!?

Perhaps in Xiao Gangcang's view, the ending of possession and revenge should be like this, either both sides will be defeated, or corpses will be everywhere. As Laura Mulvey once said, there are only two types of women in Hollywood movies: one is that the witch must be punished, and the other is that the saint is revered as a fetishistic for men.

If this statement is true, then Feng Xiaogang obviously continued Shakespearean misogyny, and applied the most vicious and sinister intentions in the world to the International Chapter, turning the International Chapter into Gong Li, a visual symbol about women's desires and struggles.

Song Zheng has been looking forward to this broken film for a long time in his last life, but it turned out to be a pity not to watch, after watching it, he hated it for life, and he was stunned to have insomnia for days, and then watched it several times, and finally could only admit that he was uneducated, because he couldn't understand it at all!

For example, in the scene where Yu Linwei chased and killed the prince in Bamboo City, the group of people who danced and sang with the prince probably tried to cover the prince's escape, and in the face of murderous, cold-armored black warriors and cold swords and guns, they actually faced the brutal slaughter while dancing a strange dance until they fell to the ground like withered petals.

These people are all dressed in white and wearing white masks from Japanese Noh dramas, in fact, if you really want to cover the prince's escape, the best way is to run all over the mountains.

Everyone is dressed the same, looking at who those ferocious Yu Linwei are chasing, this treatment is tense, exciting, and suspenseful, which does not hurt Director Feng's tragic original intention at all, and it looks more like a blockbuster, and it also saves the prince from squatting in the water without eggs and holding his breath.

What's more, International Zhang seems to be a bewitching and favored woman who knows martial arts very well, and for some reason she has to say that she is a helpless woman. Her swordsmanship seems to be slightly stronger than that of the crown prince, so why should she compromise and practice herself? If she is really not satisfied, she can take advantage of his unpreparedness and take it down with one sword, why bother to dress herself up miserably and miserably as a helpless and helpless person?

Since she can "phoenix eyes", then she has the opportunity to take the head of "uncle", and she doesn't have to be poisoned later, let alone shout "Yin is too long" to help after the matter is revealed, please, Tai Changqing is too far away from the emperor, and she can reach the emperor as soon as she stretches her arm.

For another example, since Emperor Li was determined to get rid of the crown prince, why did he have so much cover-up? There really was no excuse or opportunity? In contrast, Song Zheng admired Li Shimin, who was decisive in killing, and led his troops to launch the Xuanwumen Mutiny, directly killing his brother, and then forcing his father to abdicate.

It seems that the emperor, who has soldiers and plots to usurp the throne, does not need to be so shy to answer, but uses more direct and harsh means to make the prince's danger more exciting and attractive.

Also, after the international chapter saved the prince at the risk of possibly offending Emperor Li when the prince was in danger, and "in one sentence", Emperor Li only hastily killed Yu Lin Wei who held a real sword and left, the whole plot is inexplicably simple, and the blockbuster does not have the momentum and climax that a blockbuster should have, and the gripping plot, the screenwriter seems to have completely fallen into his own babbling.

In short, the whole play is full of loopholes, and Song Zheng can't help but ask: Is there any logic in TM?

The movie itself was messy, and Feng Xiaogang's blockbuster dream was also shattered, wanting to make some money on these costume blockbusters, but he didn't expect to cause a commotion.

Feng Xiaogang is like this, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige are the same, some of them have made a little profit, but they have lost their reputation, such as "Hero" directed by Lao Mouzi, or not only did not get a bargain, but also almost ruined, such as "Wuji" directed by Chen Kaige, the so-called costume blockbuster seems to have been a political achievement project of Chinese films.

In just a few years, Chinese filmmakers have worked hard to revitalize a genre film, but they have destroyed it with their own hands, with the hope of revitalization, and seeing it dying with their own eyes, almost shattered, Chinese films are because of this, so they can only wander in the strange circle of winning awards in literature and art and smashing ancient costumes.

Those directors who boast of "the decline of the eight generations of literature" can't "help the world's drowning", and in the end they still fall into the clichés of formalism one after another.

If it weren't for rebirth, Song Zheng would probably never think that Feng Xiaogang would fall into this strange circle for the rest of his life, because he has always felt that the word "boring" seems to be completely unrelated to Feng Xiaogang's film works, but "Night Banquet" made Song Zheng feel habitually dull, and this kind of dullness from domestic costume blockbusters has always been permeated and continued in the works of great directors.

Starting from the founder Zhang Yimou, the obsession with costume blockbusters has almost become an infectious disease, but any first-line director must get involved in costume blockbusters, otherwise he will be sorry for the name of this big director.

Song Zheng should be glad that he is a reborn, otherwise, he may really be fooled by Feng Cannon, and now, since he knows that this is a pit, how can Song Zheng have a reason to jump in.
