Chapter 082: The text carries the Tao
"Do you know what you're writing?!
Bu Wancang scolded a little hatefully, and then threw the script on the desk with a snap, he was obviously dizzy by the script, and he still didn't forget to scold Yang Qiu two sentences between pacing back and forth.
Can he not be angry?
This Yang Qiu, a good screenwriter genius, has only published a work, and he has begun to take a crooked path.
He must be corrected!
And Yang Qiu, who was on the other side of the desk, was also confused by the sudden scolding, and Nuo Nuo forgot to reply for a while.
When he came back to his senses, in addition to the anxiety in his heart, he felt a little inexplicable.
Isn't it just a script for "Funny Times"?
He Yang Qiu admitted that this movie is suspected of following the trend, after all, it is also a copycat Chaplin, but how can it be related to the next work.
This film is also a classic of Xiangjiang films in the 80s......
Yang Qiu didn't expect that a script he took out at random could cause Bu Wancang to be so angry.
It's - inexplicable!
"You say!" Bu Wancang stopped, his right index finger kept pointing at the table, looked at Yang Qiu and said, "What is a movie?"
"Huh?"
"You don't know?!" Bu Wancang's eyes widened.
"Eh, the movie ......" Yang Qiu paused, and said with a very struggling expression: "The movie is ...... It is a kind of expressive art that uses technical equipment to create a continuous image and convey ideas. β
"Do you still know that cinema is art?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Art!What is art?!"
ββ¦β¦β
"What is the main role of art?"
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Yang Qiu's expression of not knowing how to answer, Bu Wancang's face darkened a little, and he said hatefully: "The greatest role of art is education! Educate the world, educate the world, educate and entertain, and guide people upward! And the role of our movies should be even more so." β
"Criticize the bad, encourage the weak, and preach the good. β
"That's the bottom line we filmmakers need to do. β
"The text carries the Tao, and the song praises virtue!"
"Do you understand?!"
Bu Wancang's series of deafening words shocked Yang Qiu and didn't know what to say, and after the baptism of later generations, he didn't know how to explain to Bu Wancang.
In that era of entertainment to death, the bottom line of the vast majority of filmmakers has long been gone.
Everything is about money.
And not only for future generations, just like now, Xiangjiang produces so many fragments of 'Seven Days of Freshness' every year, where does the bottom line of these film crews come from?
If so, how could there be such a huge 'Cantonese film cleaning operation'......
However, judging from the high standards of old filmmakers like Bu Wancang, "Funny Times" is really a real fragment.
Script - Follow the trend;
Characters β Imitation;
Criticism β the villainous warlords in it are more funny;
Encouragement β the weak are weak from start to finish;
Propaganda - uh, what is preaching? It's all wiped out and I won't talk about it.
From beginning to end, "Funny Times" is a copycat like "Screaming", although the bottom line is a little higher, but its core is not much different.
Make money by delighting the audience with pure comedy.
In the eyes of old filmmakers like Bu Wancang, this is the most undesirable and disgusting. But from the perspective of later generations like Yang Qiu, it is extremely normal.
Those who really adhered to the bottom line in later generations have basically starved to death.
An idealist and a realist, the contradiction between the two cognitions arises from this.
And now, the era of entertainment to death is coming, but Yang Qiu doesn't know how to explain it to Bu Wancang.
Yang Qiu's face that wanted to say it but didn't know how to say it, and was very entangled, fell in Bu Wancang's eyes, but it looked like he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Bu Wancang was furious, his expression calmed down a little, and he felt that he couldn't persecute Yang Qiu too much, lest he go to the other extreme.
So, he picked up the script on the table again and said to Yang Qiu: "Okay, you go back now and think about it, and when you figure it out one day, come back to me and ask me for this script." β
"I hope you never, never, never come to me for this script. β
After speaking, Bu Wancang opened the drawer and locked the script inside with a 'pop'.
"......" Yang Qiu was speechless, and said abruptly after half a sound: "Okay, thank you Director Bu." β
Glancing at Bu Wancang, who was quite tired, Yang Qiuchang took a long breath, turned around and walked towards the office door.
Squeak β
As soon as Yang Qiu opened the door, he saw Yang Meng, who was worried, holding the script of 'human nature and evil', standing at the door looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Yang Meng asked in a low voice.
"Shhhh
Yang Qiu gestured softly, and pointed to his room again, Yang Meng nodded in understanding, quietly turned around and walked over first.
Smackββ!
Closed the door with his hand, and before Yang Qiu could breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Meng, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "What's wrong? You guys quarreled inside just now?"
"It's not just dissatisfied. Yang Qiu smiled bitterly.
Yang Meng frowned and wondered, "What's wrong with the script?"
"My script ......" Yang Qiu sat on the chair, rubbed his forehead and sighed: "It's a fragment script." β
"How could it be?" Yang Meng's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.
"How not. Yang Qiu looked at the girl's cute expression, and her mood was rarely better, and said with a smile: "You don't think I can't write a script for fragments, do you?" β
Yang Meng's expression was very entangled, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly picked up the script in his arms and said, "Then let's show this script to Director Bu, you wrote it so well." β
"Well, this ...... Have you seen it?" Yang Qiu's expression suddenly became strange.
"Ah......" Yang Meng was caught red-handed and peeked, or he exposed himself, he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, and explained cowardly: "When I just put it back, I accidentally took a look." β
This is false, you can know that it is well written at a glance?
Yang Qiu didn't expose it, took the script in Yang Meng's hand, looked at the three words "Donkey Gets Water" on the cover, flipped through two pages casually, and asked, "Then how do you feel after reading it?"
"Feeling?" Yang Meng pursed her lips, looked up at Yang Qiu and said, "The story is very good, but it's just a panic." β
"That's right. β
"Huh?"
"Human nature is evil. β
ββ¦β¦β
Yang Qiu picked up the script, flipped through it back and forth, closed his eyes and thought for two seconds, then suddenly took a deep breath, and the book in both hands was torn.
Hissββ! hissββ!
"Oops! What are you doing!"
Yang Meng looked at the script in Yang Qiu's hand and was torn into several pieces, and suddenly exclaimed, just wanted to reach out to grab it, but was stopped by Yang Qiu grabbing his wrist.
"What are you doing?!" Yang Meng felt like she was about to cry, looked at the pile of confetti on the ground, and said with a crying voice: "Well-written script, what do you do when you tear it up!"
Yang Qiu stood up and hugged Yang Meng, patted her shoulder and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry, the story is in my head, I'll tell you when I have time." β
"Whew, who is going to listen to you, you said you are good, what are you doing with it. β
"Human nature is evil. Yang Qiu hugged the little girl and said abruptly: "This script, it can't be seen by others, let alone made into a movie, otherwise I'm afraid I won't survive this year." β
The little girl in her arms shook, she obviously knew the meaning of Yang Qiu's words after reading the script, and the sobbing finally stopped slowly.
After half a ring, the room finally returned to silence.
Yang Qiu also hugged the girl and sat quietly on the chair, looking out the window with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's a pity, when I watched it, I thought I had to watch it if it was made into a movie. Yang Meng still had red eyes, quietly looking at the confetti on the ground.
"It's a pity?" Yang Qiu came back to his senses, put his head on the girl's right shoulder, smelled the body fragrance, and said freely: "Don't be a pity, wait thirty years, and make a movie in thirty years, and I'll take you to see it." β
"Thirty years?...... It's been a long time. β
"It's not long, when the children grow up, it's here. β
ββ¦β¦ You, you talk nonsense, I'm leaving!"
"Don't don't, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense. β
"Humph!"
ββ¦β¦β
"By the way, you haven't written the ending of this story yet, how is it?"
"The ending, human nature is evil, of course it's ......"
"Don't, I'm ...... I'll wait thirty years and see. β
"Hmm...... Good. β
