Chapter 182: Friends are surprised
"Mr. Frostas, I think you have some misunderstanding about our play?"
Yang Qiu thought about it for a long time, and then realized that the "Female Royal Spouse" that Suras said was the "Female Concubine" from his company, and then he was a little embarrassed.
How did this come to "The Female Horse"......
"What's the misunderstanding? Frostas spread his hands and exaggerated, "You know what? When I watched this movie, I thought I was watching 'The Wizard of Oz' in the thirties." ”
"The Wizard of Oz is a classic, isn't it?"
"It's because it was filmed more than ten years ago that it's a classic, and if it were put to the present, "The Wizard of Oz" would definitely not be what it used to be. ”
"What about Romeo and Juliet?"
"What?"
"I mean, if Fox were going to remake Romeo and Juliet, would it be better to go retro or keep up with the times?"
"This ......"
Frostas was choked by Yang Qiu's question, and was stunned for a long time, but he never made up his mind.
Yang Qiu smiled and said softly: "Mr. Skolas, "The Wizard of Oz" is just a fairy tale after all, and future generations can make all kinds of reasonable interpretations. But ......"
After a slight pause, Yang Qiu continued: "But "Female Royal Spouse" is the same as "Romeo and Juliet", it has the precipitation of time and its own dramatic mode, so there are some things that cannot be easily changed. ”
"After all, there is something about our nation on it. ”
"The nation's own thing, the nation's character?" said Sguras in a low voice, frowning, "So...... Do you think I'm misunderstood?"
Yang Qiu looked at the big screen in front of him and said, "Mr. Frostas, according to your standards, "Female Royal Spouse" is just a purely national opera movie, and you can't ask for it with too many modern technical standards of Hollywood. ”
"If, you want to see the real film technology of Xiangjiang. Yang Qiu turned his head sideways and smiled at Frostas: "Why don't you wait until you see the film in front of you before making a decision." ”
“……”
Seeing that Sguras was silently silent, Yang Qiu smiled again, turned his head to Zhao Shushen and said, "Boss Zhao, it seems that everyone is ready, let's start." ”
"Good. ”
With Zhao Shushen's order, the curtains and doors of the test room were closed, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.
Xiao Fangfang, the little girl, was obviously a little afraid of the dark, so she didn't run around at this time, and honestly hid in Yang Meng's arms.
There was silence in the testing room.
Suddenly!
A flash of light appeared on the screen in front of him, and a silent movie officially began.
Because it's still an edited version, naturally there is no title.
The video gets straight to the point.
The first thing to enter is the main story scene, in the bungalow, the protagonist's family who are messily planning to go to England for Christmas.
Frostas, who was next to Yang Qiu, sat up straight suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stared at the screen in front of him carefully.
"Is this following the camera?"
"Why is it so long!"
"Long Shot......
"Oh my God, this long shift, beautiful!"
"Quick cuts?"
"Oh!
"How can you cut the footage so quickly. ”
"This ...... It's not normal!"
"But it's beautiful. ”
"John, do you have a pen?"
"Damn it!"
“……”
Before the film was halfway through, the audience listened to Frostas's incessant muttering, and even York, who was next to him, stared intently at the screen in front of him.
It was as if several people had heard what the people in the picture were saying.
Yang Qiu turned his head and smiled, except for him and Zhao Shushen, everyone in the audience was attracted by this silent film.
Even Xiao Fangfang in Yang Meng's arms stared at the screen without blinking.
Children always like colorful things, not to mention that this is probably the first time Xiao Fangfang has seen a color movie.
The film quickly entered the second half, and the plot became more intense and funny.
The confrontation between the little male protagonist and the two stupid thieves has officially begun!
"Hahaha-"
Xiao Fangfang, who didn't understand anything, burst out of laughter for the first time in the test room.
Looking at the smart little boy on the screen, he shot the bad guy in the crotch with a slingshot, although he didn't understand why the guy covered his face and jumped in pain for a while, but the little girl still laughed wildly.
Start here......
"Hee-hee-hee-"
"It's a long-shift lens again, and it's so bold. ”
"Haha-"
"This, two-camera? No, no, no. ”
"Whew-"
"The camera cuts quickly, but it's not obtrusive. ”
"Whoa—"
"Slides can still be used like this?!"
"Ha, sister, my stomach hurts, haha-e-"
“……”
Seeing that the little girl was holding her stomach and almost fell to the ground laughing, Yang Meng suddenly couldn't sit still, and didn't let the little girl continue to watch the movie, so she opened the door and walked out with this reluctant little guy in her arms.
After a series of hilarious battles of wits and courage, the film finally came to an end.
As the screen in front of him turned gray, the testing room lit up, and Frostas was still writing something in his notebook.
York reacted first, looked at Yang Qiu and congratulated: "Congratulations, Yang, your directing and editing skills have improved again!"
"Thank you. ”
"What do you mean 'again'?" said Frostas, who suddenly interjected from the side.
It's just that Sguras's appearance is not good-looking now, this guy keeps jotting down in his notebook, but his eyes are staring at Yang Qiu with bright eyes, like a strange Shu Huang who sees little Lori.
I almost said that I was going to take him to see the goldfish.
"Yang has made a "Funny Times" before, and some of the techniques in it are very novel, and they have sold very well in Europe. York explained.
Frostas hurriedly said hopefully, "Yang, can I watch this movie?"
"Well, Mr. Skolas, there is no copy of "Funny Times" on this set. Yang Qiu spread his hands and explained: "Moreover, this is a film that imitates Mr. Chaplin, so ......"
"So?" said Frostas, confused.
"Uh...... , so even if you look at the U.S., it's not easy to release, is it? ”
"Who said that? Frostas raised his eyebrows and said inexplicably: "Although we don't release Charlie's new films, we still show old films from time to time." Except, of course, in those sensitive areas of New York and Washington. So you don't have to be afraid of this kind of imitation film. ”
Yang Qiu was also slightly stunned and asked, "Then I heard that MGM ......?"
"Louis Sr., the president of MGM, is on the far right, and of course he does, but we at Twentieth Century Fox are not. Before Yang Qiu could finish speaking, Staulas gave him a clear explanation.
"So 'Funny Times' can be released in the past?"
"Of course, small-scale issuances are also distributions. ”
“……”
So...... It turned out to be a big oolong?!
Yang Qiu's heart was worried, rubbed his forehead to ease his mood, and then pointed to the screen and asked, "Let's not talk about anything else, Mr. Frostas, what do you think of this movie?"
"I have to say, Yang, you are really a movie genius!" Skooths casually flipped through the small notebook in his hand and asked excitedly: "Your cinematography and directing skills are just, simply genius! genius ideas, genius editing! Complete entertainment is paramount!"
"Thank you, thank you. Yang Qiu accepted these compliments with some humility, and asked again: "What about this movie?"
"Yang!" Frostas suddenly put down the notebook in his hand, grabbed Yang Qiu's arm and said, "Are you interested in going to Hollywood to make movies?"
"Huh?"
