Verse 376: Hooligans are cultured

How to win the Huabiao Award? Not only Zhou Xingchi, this is probably a question that every filmmaker is thinking about. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Duane thought about it too.

From their director's point of view, winning the Huabiao Award is obviously to win the best director or the best picture, and such Huabiao Award-winning films usually have one thing in common, that is, art.

If you have artistic depth, you can win awards, don't think about commercial films.

"Artistic depth is really hard to define. ”

Duane said slowly.

He subconsciously wanted to cross his hands on the table to change positions, but he still sensed this idea in time and restrained himself, allowing his hands to remain unchanged.

"From my personal point of view, artistic depth is the breadth of space that provokes the viewer to think, and the more you can provoke thinking, the higher your artistic depth will be...... I really don't know how to say this thing, but it's easier to understand it as an example, Mr. Zhou, you are an actor again, let's take an actor as an example. ”

Since Zhou Xingchi has mentioned this, Du An's mind taking the initiative to lean the topic in the direction he wants.

"From the perspective of an actor, artistic depth is the meaning of an actor's performance, the more meaning his performance contains, and the richer the symbolism of the characters he creates, the deeper his artistic depth. ”

Du An glanced at Zhou Xingchi when he said this, and only read three words from his face - "Nonsense, I know what you say."

But actors can't exist independently, actors are actors in movies, and his existence is based on the movies he exists, so this is why it is difficult for the leading actors of many commercial movies to win the Huabiao Award even if they perform well, because the depth of the movie itself is not enough, and the depth of the characters in this movie is naturally not enough. ”

This is like the two movies "Pretty Woman" and "Flying Over the Asylum", because the extreme depth of the protagonist of "Pretty Woman in the Moon" is only 5, even if Duane's acting skills are 10, he can only play to 5, because the upper limit is limited by the characters, and most of them are wasteful and useless, and the protagonist of "Flying Over the Asylum" Wang Ming has a limit depth of 10, even if Jia Hongsheng only plays 8, then he is better than Duane in the two films, so naturally he should win the Huabiao Award.

Du An's time to enter the industry once didn't understand this truth, and thought that the Huabiao Awards particularly discriminated against commercial films, so "One Flew Over the Asylum" was born, and later after staying in this industry for a long time and learning more things, I gradually figured out this truth.

Zhou Xingchi could also understand Du An's words, so he stopped talking.

Speaking of which, the problem comes back - he still doesn't have a "good" work to play.

It stands to reason that Duane should take the opportunity to play at this time, saying, "Come to me, my movie is going for the Huabiao Awards, it's no problem for you to play well and get a nomination, it's very possible to win the award", but he didn't say so, but persuaded him: "Actually, I don't think there's a need to be entangled in the depth of art, movies are originally for people's pastime, just have a theme to pick up the story, and the depth of art doesn't need to be too deep, after all, most people can't understand it, so why bother?" Movies like Mr. Zhou, everyone likes them, and I think they are good movies that are worth making. ”

And Zhou Xingchi finally opened his mouth to ignore him.

"What do you think of Kung Fu...... How deep?"

Duane touched his nose and didn't speak.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and Zhou Xingchi probably understood what Du An's meant, so he fell into silence again.

Du An's mouth said at this time: "In fact, these things are not only related to people's abilities, but also related to many things, such as people's personality, social environment, history and culture, the width of the industry-university-research chain, etc., and the social environment is related to many other things such as area, weather, geography and even language." People often see the beauty of the flower, but they can't see how deep the soil is beneath it......"

His words were eloquent, and he seemed to be relieved that Zhou Xingchi should not be too entangled in not being able to shoot in-depth works, and the inability to shoot such works is not due to your ability, but due to other factors, but in fact, the hidden core idea can be called mean: you are destined not to shoot such works by relying on your own strength.

If Du An's really mean is fine, Zhou Xingchi is not a fool, but he has a low EQ and a very high IQ, so he won't listen to it, but what Du An's words are all based on.

The personality of the person alludes to Zhou Xingchi's love of money, he will not give up making money in order to win awards, even if he has such determination, but his instinct will still make him unconsciously add commercial elements when filming.

This is still caused by the environment since childhood, Duane also has such a problem, he was used to being poor when he was a child, which led to a love of money when he grew up, even when he was filming "One Flew Over the Asylum", he subconsciously measured the commercial elements, and made literary films and wanted to sell at the box office, and delusionally wanted to achieve a double harvest of commercial art. Of course, the common problem of the director's circle in pursuing a double harvest of commercial art also plays a very important role in it.

Even if the film and television industry has developed rapidly due to special historical periods, once the mainland begins to develop, it will immediately be surpassed in the past, after all, the mainland is vast and has a deep and rich cultural heritage.

In addition, the social environment, the width of the industry-university-research chain, etc., have all hit Zhou Xingchi's psychological defense line - in the years of the decline of Xiangjiang Film and Television, these filmmakers in Xiangjiang are not vegetarians, and they have also reflected a lot.

So he listened even more.

After Du An was relieved for a long time, Zhou Xingchi finally spoke again.

"Can you show me the script again?"

Du An took the script and handed it over, "Of course you can, I just hope that Mr. Zhou, you don't release the content to the outside world." ”

"Of course. ”

Zhou Xingchi took the script and read it again, but Du An's voice no longer disturbed his thoughts, and he secretly sighed in his heart about what he had just done: Alas, this world is not afraid of hooligans, but hooligans are cultured.

This is hard work, in order to enhance the influence of the movie, this is really hard enough.

Half an hour has passed, and Zhou Xingchi is really a weirdo, he just reads the script and doesn't say a word during the whole process.

With victory in sight, Du An's loneliness was also endured, and he sat in place like a wooden man and thought about it, from when Su Jin planned to go to Shanghai to supervise the operation of the theater to whether Yin Anan would abide by the agreement, to how to adjust the media strategy in the future, and even what to eat for lunch tomorrow, Zhou Xingchi finally raised his head from the script.

"I want to know about the contract you just mentioned. (To be continued.) )
