Chapter 898: Served

Song Zheng knew that as soon as Feng Xiaogang's fiery temper came up, basically no one could stop it, but he never thought that after Feng Xiaogang really lost his cool, the barrel of that cannon could evolve to the diamond level.

Usually spray film critics, spray opponents, and spray news media, anyway, the meaning of those people's existence is to be sprayed, but Nima Feng Xiaogang is crazy this time, and even the audience is sprayed.

Song Zheng suddenly felt that Lao Feng was going to kill himself!

Originally, those trolls were still relatively subtle, and at least there was a bigger pit "Wuji" to compare on the side, and people's attitudes towards "Night Banquet" also tended to be balanced because of the existence of "Wuji".

As a result, as soon as Feng Xiaogang's side fired, it was completely annoying people.

Mainland audiences lack an appreciation of art!

Nima, just say that the people have no culture, don't you get it!

Chen Kaige was scolded as the third grandson, and as a result, people just chattered mysteriously: "The movie "Wuji", people will not be able to understand it until five years later. ”

Look at how smart people are, not only showing their attitude, but also pretending to be forced by the way.

In short, Feng Xiaogang's words directly stabbed the hornet's nest, and the criticism on the Internet was relatively subtle, but now it all turned into a heavy firefight.

Song Zheng naturally couldn't watch it, although he couldn't help Feng Xiaogang scold, but at least he couldn't stay out of the matter, and he went to Feng Xiaogang's house as soon as possible.

Feng Xiaogang happened to come back from the publicity, and when he saw Song Zheng, the shoehorn face immediately pulled down: "Come and see my joke!?"

Holy!

This white-eyed wolf is not as fast as you!

Xu Fan heard Feng Xiaogang's mouth pop out of his mouth next to him, raised his hand and slapped him on the back: "Do you still speak human words!?"

Seeing Lao Feng grinning from being beaten, Song Zheng's mood immediately improved a lot, and he didn't pay attention to Feng Xiaogang, and sat directly on the sofa: "Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten yet!"

"Hey, this is my house!"

"It's okay to say a few words!" Xu Fan said and stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Zhengzi, you sit down first, I'll cook!"

Xu Fan left, and Song Zheng and Feng Xiaogang were left in the room, and the two of them stared at each other for a long time.

In the end, Feng Xiaogang couldn't hold back, sighed, and said, "Did you guess a long time ago?"

I TM did guess a long time ago!

But Song Zheng couldn't say this, so he could only pretend to be confused: "What did I guess!?"

"Pretend! Follow me here!" Feng Xiaogang took out a cigarette, thought about it, took out another one, threw it to Song Zheng, lit it, and took a deep breath, "You tell me the truth, my film, isn't it terrible!"

When Song Zheng heard Feng Xiaogang say this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter?

Feng Xiaogang didn't speak, just nodded.

"Okay, if you want to hear it, I'll say it, but we'll have to say it first, I said it, you can't be angry!"

There is no one else here, Song Zheng naturally has no scruples, even if Feng Xiaogang is really popular, with his small physique, Song Zheng can subdue him with one finger.

In Song Zheng's view, the movie "Night Banquet" can actually be made better, and the story itself is good, although it is an adaptation of a classic, but the story of a foreigner, brought to China, combined with some specific things in the local area, can be extended to more things, but Feng Xiaogang made two fatal mistakes.

First, "Night Banquet" is not properly employed, and let Uncle Ge, who is accustomed to black humor, play the emperor who is one of the protagonists of the tragedy, which can be described as a big failure, and it also greatly challenges the audience's inertial thinking.

Uncle Ge plays the villain and is funny, both of which are his strengths, but now with the plot as the center, it is ridiculous to stick chicken feathers on the noble lady.

Let Wu Yanzu, who looks young and young, play a prince of the same age, the age is similar, but the style is very different, the prince is bitter and bitter, but Wu Yanzu plays like a member of the triangle relationship, the prince needs to be taoguang and obscure, Wu Yanzu plays sharply, the prince is Chinese, Wu Yanzu is very similar to a foreigner, even the chair he sits on, and the bed he sleeps on are British.

Let the already well-known Zhou Xun play a little girl, which greatly reduces the room for performance, and the film does not pay attention to capturing Zhou Xun's calm and depressed facial expressions that he is best at, causing him to look more and more like Da Changjin, reducing Zhou Xun's existing position in the hearts of the audience, and losing his early pure characteristics.

Fortunately, there is an international chapter in the film, a woman who has seen the world, no matter the length of the shot, the picture is clear and blurry, you have to watch it, especially her quietness, hiding people's eyes, anger, and majesty, all of which are very atmospheric.

It's just that Feng Xiaogang actually made the international chapter laugh, he didn't know that in this kind of film, the role of the international chapter should not be laughed easily, or even if he laughed, he had to use the camera carefully, and when he smiled, he became the little jasper in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which seemed to have a small head and compact facial features, which was far from the identity of the queen.

Second, this film is a clumsy imitation, when watching "Night Banquet", people always see the shadow of other films, of course, the similarity is understandable, imitation is acceptable, but the clumsy imitation is disgusting, and the imitation that leaves the foundation of life makes people want to vomit.

The prince was chased and killed, surrounded by a bamboo forest, arrows flew everywhere, people fell, water splashed, the camera rotated rapidly, and the sky and ground were shot randomly, which was a remake of "Ambush on All Sides".

The emperor wears armor in the palace, only sees the eyes and mouth, the royal palace uses a long lens from far to near, the tall temples are not very clear, assassinate and be assassinated, and the running speed is very fast, it seems that there are some shadows of "heroes".

The most unacceptable thing is that the plot revolves around a palace coup, entangled in the struggle between love and family, the entanglement of power and desire, the inner torment, the death of the lover, the poison on the performance field, the unexpected death, the prince's chair is a big stone bed, and there is a monster spitting water out of its mouth in the back, mom, I almost asked Wu Yanzu to say "Live or die, this is a question".

In the end, this is a Chinese movie, not the germination of humanism during the British bourgeois revolution, and if you want to compare Shakespeare with the British, it is far away.

I don't know why, when it comes to transformation, it is to make blockbusters, and when it comes to making blockbusters, they are engaged in some image projects, with exquisite pictures, huge houses, many extras, and rich skills, but they can't remember the faces of the actors, and when they remember them, they also feel very funny, as if they are pretending to be and acting in black humor, even if the audience laughs, the actors are still dead, and they are disgusting.

After reading it, it is always very confusing, the clothes are very good-looking, the figure is very slender, what about the rich and wonderful face of Meijiajia?

I guess I lost it, or I didn't want it at all.

In short, "Night Banquet" did not bring the impact that the audience expected at all, let alone the feeling.

The Chinese version of the Prince's Revenge did not succeed in interpreting the beauty of the tragedy, and this is where this tragedy fails.

Perhaps after Feng Xiaogang determined the theme of this film, there was a problem in thinking about the form of expression.

For the performance of tragedy, the performance of ugliness is too straightforward.

Cinema is an extreme stage of expression, and in a matter of hours, it is necessary to present a performance that can summarize the theme of a story.

How to show tragedy in the extreme and ugly in the extreme?

This is the key to the film, and the performance of the tragedy.

The tragedy of past success is precisely through beauty, extreme beauty, which sets off and contrasts ugliness.

In the film "Night Banquet", there are only two main characters with the function of expressing beauty: the prince and the young girl.

However, the role of the prince is undoubtedly a failure, and Wu Yanzu only interprets the weakness of the prince, but fails to reflect his strength and kindness.

The role of the young girl is performed well, reflecting the persistence of love and the kindness of nature, but there are too few scenes, and this role, from beginning to end, Song Zheng thinks that it can not exist at all.

The common drawback of both is that the plot is not very reasonable, and the characters generally appear jerky rather than profound.

In a specific environment, as a director, you have your own concerns and helplessness, and performance and appreciation are interrelated and two aspects of the role.

After becoming famous, China's major directors cannot ignore commerce and box office while moving closer to art, and it is contradictory to want to express art in commercial films, which has led to many criticisms and the so-called "death" of Chinese directors.

Take the performance of tragedy as an example, he is not as simple as highlighting heroes, love, etc., because heroes, love, etc. are just elements in tragedy.

The performance of tragedy, the appreciation of tragedy is not a police movie, a romance film is comparable, all of the latter is much more straightforward, tragedy is a systematic performance, a tortuous performance.

Therefore, how to perform and how to let the audience appreciate it has to think about the major directors.

And the final result of "Night Banquet" is to make elegance go to vulgarity, from subtlety to straightforwardness.

At the end of "Night Banquet", Wan Hou's "desire devouring theory", Song Zheng thought that Feng Xiaogang carefully arranged it in order to let the audience understand the theme of the movie, but this arrangement made the movie lose a lot of color and lack the silent performance realm.

Feng Xiaogang said that the domestic audience's ability to appreciate art is insufficient, so he was afraid that the audience would not understand it, so he arranged such a play, and the result was a snake painting.

What should be said, what should not be said, in short, Song Zheng said it all, whether to accept it or not is Feng Xiaogang's own business, as a friend, Song Zheng feels that he has done enough.

Xu Fan had already cooked the meal, but she didn't dare to come in, she kept standing at the door, listening to Song Zheng speak, her heart was also hanging, for fear that Feng Xiaogang would suddenly explode, and the result was not bad.

Feng Xiaogang listened very carefully, and when Song Zheng finished speaking, he let out a long sigh again: "It's really a mistake!"

Blunder!?

Perhaps!

However, Song Zheng believes that even if everything is done all over again, Feng Xiaogang still can't listen to his suggestions at the time, and it's the same if it were him, a movie, a crew, but the director's ideas must not be interfered with by anyone.

"What's wrong?" Song Zheng looked at Feng Xiaogang and couldn't help laughing, with a teasing tone in his tone, "Still unwilling!?"

Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said, "Can I be willing!? I worked hard and tried my best to shoot it, but in the end, I was not a person inside and out, and no one recognized it, what am I working so hard for!?"

I'll go!

Why is this still questioning life!?

"Why? How can there be so many whys! People don't have to toss and do something to live, if you are discouraged and disappointed because of this, I should really look down on you!"

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "! I haven't gotten to the point where I have to persuade you to stand up!"

After Feng Xiaogang finished speaking, he sat up straight, pulled his neck and shouted outside, "The meal is not good yet!?"

Xu Fan waited outside for a long time, and when he heard Feng Xiaogang shouting such a sentence, he was finally relieved, and hurriedly greeted: "Okay!

Xu Fan walked in as he spoke, and after a while, a table was set, Song Zheng and Feng Xiaogang sat at the dining table, neither of them mentioned drinking, they picked up the bowl and ate.

Song Zheng knew that Feng Xiaogang hadn't understood it even now, but he couldn't do anything about it, this kind of thing could only be solved by himself.

Just like him, he stubbornly believed that only movies like "Get in the Car, Let's Go" and "Balzac and the Little Tailor" that people dare not touch are real art, but now he understands that movies are art, but movies are not only art, sometimes, movies are also commodities, just commodities.

After eating, Song Zheng chatted with Feng Xiaogang again, but this time, neither of them mentioned "Night Banquet" again, for Feng Xiaogang, "Night Banquet" is a failed experience and needs to be sorted out well, but for Song Zheng, "Night Banquet" is already in the past.

Originally, this failed blockbuster had nothing to do with Song Zheng, if it weren't for the fact that the director was Feng Xiaogang, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to it.

What should be said and done now has all been said and done, and when it is done, Feng Xiaogang will figure out the rest by himself.

As he was talking, Song Zheng's phone suddenly rang, picked it up and looked at it, almost didn't throw it out directly, seeing that Song Zheng's face suddenly changed, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but be curious.

"Who!?"

"No one!" Song Zheng's tone was full of guilt, because the person who called was Fan Bingbing!
