Verse 461: Not romantic
What is the meaning of the existence of movies?
On this topic, Duane had a stomach to say, after all, he had thought about it privately I don't know how many times, but he just said a vague sentence and then closed his mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He just blurted out such a sentence in his heart just now, but he didn't want to talk about it, because if he followed his logic, the next words would be very harsh, he was afraid that Wei Rongchen's self-esteem would collapse under his poisonous tongue, and this movie would not be easy to shoot under his anger, so he could only temporarily think about this problem from Wei Rongchen's position and perspective, and think about how to make up a reason to press Wei Rongchen strongly.
After listening to Du An's unclear words, Wei Rongchen subconsciously felt a little harsh, opened his mouth to say something, but found that he didn't know where to start, after all, Du An just said such a vague sentence and didn't say it again, and he didn't know what specific point to refute.
And he didn't speak, Duane did.
"I know you want to make a true story, not a fake story that you have made up, and you want to breathe soul into the film, right?"
Du ane didn't mention what he just said at all, as if he didn't say it, and Wei Rongchen was aroused by what he said now, and he suddenly became excited.
"That's right, that's it!"
He didn't know exactly what he meant to Duane for a long time, but Duane's simple words perfectly summed up what he thought, as if he could see his heart.
At this moment, Wei Rongchen had a deep feeling of meeting Bole, a feeling that he had never had even when Du ane had praised him before.
In the end, he is an internationally renowned director, that is, he is knowledgeable and cultured, and he accurately poked his heart in one sentence!
"Do you think that a big star and ordinary people are together, this is a plot that only exists in movies, romantic is not real, such a story is like an exaggerated big balloon, which can be punctured with a needle, and cannot stand up to scrutiny, it will only be grandstanding. And after changing it according to your idea, although it is a little cruel and not so unrealistically beautiful, but in this way, the story is more credible, full, and more resonant with the audience, right?"
Wei Rongchen nodded again and again as he listened, and his eyes stared at Du An in front of him, very excited.
Okay, he's admitting that he's stupid, but it's rare that he has a good producer who sums up his ideas succinctly and accurately.
No wonder he can be internationally renowned, this Duane is indeed cultured and capable, and he is not a complete bastard as he has shown these days, but he still has some real skills.
The two were still opposite sides just now, but now Wei Rongchen suddenly pulled Du An to his side, and Du An glanced at Wei Rongchen, who nodded again and again, and continued.
"You think about it very well, that's true, and I've always thought so, although movies are detached from reality, they should also be based on reality. But one thing you may be thinking wrong about is that this story is originally a very cruel and very true story, and it is not too false and untrue as you think. ”
Wei Rongchen's expression suddenly froze on his face, and he was stunned.
He obviously couldn't figure out how the original "Xiaoshan" could be a true story, and it was cruel? A big star fell in love with an ordinary person, and the two lived happily together after all kinds of twists and turns, getting married and having children, all going for romance, where is such a story cruel!
Duane began to answer his questions.
"I don't know if you still remember a scene we filmed two days ago, the scene where Wang Jinshu and Shen Anru met. ”
Of course Wei Rongchen remembered this scene, can he not remember the kung fu of the past two days? And after seeing him nod, Du An continued: "Then you should also remember that in that scene, Wang Jinshu recognized Shen Anru and then left her there alone, because he found out from the surveillance that someone was stealing books. ”
"When I see the goddess I admire, and when I chat with the goddess, I don't forget to look at the surveillance, and I see someone stealing the book and hanging the goddess there to catch the thief, Wang Jinshu, the protagonist, can not be called romantic, on the contrary, he is extremely rational and even a philistine. From here, I don't think Wang Jinshu loves Shen Anru as much as you think in those romantic movies, so much at first sight, he is more of a surprise to meet his favorite star. ”
"What you think is a romantic story is actually not romantic, or even a little awkward, and if you are sensitive enough, you should not be able to see this. ”
Wei Rongchen's eyes revealed thoughts: This one was indeed photographed by him, but he didn't think about so many things as Du An's when he was shooting. Now that he thought about it under Duane's prompting, he felt as if it was really the case, and what Duane said made some sense.
"We haven't filmed a lot of the next ones yet, but you've studied the script thoroughly, and I'm sure you'll be able to remember it when I mention it, so I'll just say it. ”
Du An's seemingly casual suggestion, "I just said Wang Jinshu, now let's talk about Shen Anru." ”
"As a big star, she fell in love with the bookstore owner, intervened in his life, went to his sister's birthday party with him, everyone talked and laughed, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, OK, everything looks very beautiful and romantic, but what about the facts? You and I both know that she has a boyfriend, and she is having an affair. The two of them haven't reached the last step yet, but it's a matter of time before her boyfriend doesn't show up that day in the script. ”
Shen Anru fell in love with Wang Jinshu just because she met a handsome guy who was a little interesting outside alone, and her boyfriend was not around, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with romance, right? ”
Wei Rongchen was still thinking.
It's not that he doesn't know this, how many times have he read the theater performance and the script? It's just that he has always thought that Shen Anru and Wang Jinshu are true love, but unfortunately Shen Anru happened to have a boyfriend at the time and hadn't broken up yet-who hasn't fallen in love with a few scum before meeting true love?
But Duane's analysis of this point from a realistic perspective is not unreasonable, who knows? It is estimated that only the real author of this script, the one named Ji Wucun, knows which one he wants to write, right?
"Of course, Wang Jinshu is not very pure, he is just an ordinary man - when a beautiful woman you can only see on TV and movies appears in your life, it seems that she is still interesting to you, will you fall in love with her?"
Du An looked at Wei Rongchen, didn't wait for him to answer, and laughed directly to himself.
"Of course the answer is yes, if I were Wang Jinshu, I would too, just because the other party is Shen Anru, a beautiful woman, a big star who can't usually be touched, that's all. Therefore, the motivation between the two of them is not pure from the beginning, it has nothing to do with romance, it's just that two people who need each other appear at the right time, and then package each other in the name of 'love', giving both parties a better face and psychology. ”
But the funny thing is that they believe it themselves, and that's the cruelest thing -- or maybe they don't believe it in the bottom of their hearts. ”
Du An didn't engage in a question-and-answer format with Wei Rongchen, and directly pointed out all the points he thought of temporarily.
There are also a few obvious points, for example, after Wang Jinshu and Shen Anru broke up, they finally announced to their friends that they had let go of the relationship and survived the setback, but when his friends told him that Shen Anru had returned to Hangzhou to film, he immediately went to the set to find her again. This paragraph can easily be understood as, 'Oh, you see, he really loves her, and he says that he doesn't love her, but when he hears about her, he can't hold it back', 'This love is too strong for time to erase', but is that really the case?"
Duane shook his head and pointed out the loopholes in it.
"If he really loves her, why hasn't he been looking for her before? Oh, she's not in Hangzhou, for a good reason, but it's not romantic at all. This reminds me of many people in long-distance relationships in real life, who have always maintained a long-distance relationship but none of them are willing to sacrifice themselves for the other, and complain that the other party does not love themselves enough, and the couple in the movie is not much better than the worldly people. ”
And at the end of the story, Wang Jinshu rejected Shen Anru because of his poor self-esteem. ”
Wei Rongchen nodded his head consciously at the right time.
From his point of view, it is actually okay to end like this, it is better than the ending of the dog-tailed mink at the end, but Duane did not give him a chance to speak, and he kept talking.
But after he gathered his friends and talked to himself, he suddenly figured it out again, and felt that he loved Shen Anru, so everyone went to redeem this matter together, and did their best to send him to see Shen Anru and redeem this beautiful karma. ”
Duane sneered at this, looking very disdainful.
"Please, is this love? I just saw a vulgar man: he needed Shen Anru, because he missed this village he might never find a better woman than her in all aspects, and at this moment he thought very clearly, so he didn't care about anything. He doesn't care that he once fell in love with Shen Anru as a third party, he doesn't care that Shen Anru was so easily angry with him and left him, he doesn't care that Shen Anru once hurt his self-esteem, because Shen Anru took the initiative to release a signal, he only needs to take a step this time, and the good life will be in his pocket, he doesn't have any risk, he understands it very well, he is very shrewd and very rational. ”
And Shen Anru is no better. ”
She was only lonely because her boyfriend was not around, so she started this relationship. After the breakup, she didn't take the initiative to find Wang Jinshu again, because she was leaving, she wasn't sure if Wang Jinshu would accept her, so she didn't come to Wang Jinshu again, even if she came to Hangzhou again to film, she didn't contact Wang Jinshu, anyway, she didn't worry about getting married on her terms, until Wang Jinshu took the initiative to find her, which let her know that Wang Jinshu still needed her, so she also came back. ”
After saying so much in one breath, Du Ane took a breath before finally concluding his speech: "Ya are two laymen, the vulgar can no longer be vulgar, the realistic can no longer be realistic, the ending is not wrong is the Great Perfection, but it is also a very realistic Great Perfection, so how can you think that this is an unreal romantic love story? I don't even know if there is love between them!"
"So, I agree with your concept, but from your point of view, this ending can't be changed - this story is very realistic and cruel, and if you change it to be darker, I'm afraid the audience won't be able to accept it, after all, I still have to give the audience a little hope, I believe that the too dark "Xiaoshan" should not be the ...... you want to see."
Wei Rongchen frowned.
He now has an idea in his mind, and under Duane's remarks just now, this idea is getting deeper and deeper and more convincing to himself, that is: This seems to be a cruel urban movie, and he doesn't even know if a love movie can be called it, how could he think that this is a romantic comedy that is so sweet that it is too sweet to lose his teeth and fake?
But he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Before he could figure it out, Duane spoke again.
"Of course, the more important thing is that I won't allow you to change the ending. ”
Du An put away his smile, no longer smiling with Wei Rongchen, his face was serious, and his expression was solemn.
"I reiterate once again, I am the representative of the producer, the film is funded by us, and we say we can't change it, then we can't change it. Otherwise, there is only one ending, and you should be able to guess it yourself, so I won't say it. ”
At this moment, Duane's expression was solemn like the Himalayas that had not melted for ten thousand years, terrifying and scary - he was usually a smiling bastard all day long, and suddenly showed such a completely different side, which gave people a lot of pressure, and also made everyone present who saw this scene shudder, remembering a very important fact that everyone slowly ignored.
That is, sitting in front of them is an internationally renowned director, a big man who is very different from the status of these nobodies.
……
Applying both soft and hard, giving a piece of sugar and a stick, this is a very simple and practical classic technique in management, and it is also what Duane did at that time.
His approach succeeded in making Wei Rongchen shut up and honestly let go of the idea of wanting to change the ending, and at the same time shocked some people, such as Wei Yang, who was an eyewitness at the time. So this is why Wei Yang didn't dare to come over again when he saw Yan Lijun coming towards him? If it had been placed before, this kid would probably have followed him with a hippie smile.
Du An thought so, and Yan Lijun had already walked up to him.
"Brother Du!"
