Wang Meng sometimes thinks?

seems to be providential, the plot of "The True Story of A Niu" that I am filming is a bit similar to today's reality?

It's stormy outside, and there are voices praising "The Matrix" everywhere, but the crew is very peaceful and quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just like Forrest Gump's script, Forrest Gump has experienced a lot, but his heart has never changed, and he is still so innocent.

Many big events happened in the play, but Forrest Gump's eyes were the same. It's all looking at it with ignorance. Later, he said what he thinks.

Presumably the director used such a shot to illustrate a fact!

The truth is: the world is too complicated, and the whole film is complicated. But? Forrest Gump's heart is very simple, and this simplicity is the theme of this film.

In Wang Meng's opinion, it is difficult and easy for Forrest Gump to adapt.

Isn't it the timing of some big events?

It's how to use the lens to portray Forrest Gump's thoughts.

Because Forrest Gump is an intellectually retarded (intellectually handicapped, not swearing) person with an IQ of only 75, it is impossible to listen to him say any big truths, and then the whole movie will collapse.

Therefore, you can only use the lens to compare with Forrest Gump.

The contrast is obvious, big events continue, and Willing remains the same. That's the best way to elaborate.

Forrest Gump has three indispensable characters in his life, and it can also be said that this movie has three indispensable characters.

They are Mother, Jenny, and Captain Dan.

According to Wang Meng's understanding, Mother is God, Jenny is faith, and Captain Dan is the lost lamb.

As long as you grasp these three roles, you will have an eighty percent chance of success.

Let's talk about the role of mother first, she raised Forrest Gump to grow up, established Forrest Gump's life values, and gave up everything, including dignity, for Forrest Gump. Moreover, it is very wise to explain the answers to all questions to Forrest Gump, so that a person with a 75 IQ can understand.

It's the same as Buddhism says that cutting meat and feeding eagles is too great. So great that Europeans and Americans can only be called by the name of God.

Including the words she said to Forrest Gump when she was about to die, it was a God's character.

Jenny is Forrest Gump's faith, and of course there is irony.

When Forrest Gump was helpless, it was Jenny who stepped forward, no less than a person who was despaired, and suddenly saw the golden sunshine.

Mother God has done the most perfect thing about the environment in which she grew up as a child, at least for Forrest Gump.

But who is faith? Faith is Jenny who appeared when Forrest Gump was lost, and this is his faith.

These two women have kept Forrest Gump from his original intention; These two women erected Forrest Gump's life.

One is God and the other is faith.

As for the irony, it can also be seen that the defilement of the mother is ironic, and the fall of Jenny is also ironic.

The difference is that the mother is defiled for the sake of the child, so she is said to be God.

And Jenny's fall is not a satirical scene of some people losing their faith, which is reflected in power, money, fame and fortune, and so on.

Why is Forrest Gump so great?

This is the greatest embodiment, faith (Jenny) has fallen, but Forrest Gump is still so innocent. (That is to say, many people have fallen, and Forrest Gump has not changed his original intention)

It is roughly explained as follows: - When he was a child, Jenny brought Forrest Gump faith, and Forrest Gump remembered this faith. Jenny, who brought faith when she grew up, doesn't believe in it herself, but Forrest Gump has always believed. As for later? Forrest Gump didn't restore Jenny's faith until Jenny died......

This should be a punishment for abandoning the faith.

Finally, there's Captain Dan, who looks awesome, but he doesn't have faith.

It can be manifested in many places, including the depravity after losing both legs, the unwillingness on the fishing boat, etc., which are all manifestations of lack of faith.

Why are you called a lost lamb?

Because Forrest Gump has influenced him through his own unchanging, he is said to be a lamb.

On the boat, he said to Forrest Gump: "Thank you for saving my life, and that is when you find faith."

As Forrest Gump said: - Captain Dan compromised with God.

Why is that? Americans call Forrest Gump the American dream.

In fact, it is to encourage them not to be lost, not to fall, not to be without faith.

Ordinary can be great. Lost, sad, if there is no way, please choose calm.

Wang Meng feels that this is the main purpose of "Forrest Gump", as long as you grasp the key points, you can still succeed.

Among them, in the Vietnam War, Wang Meng was replaced by a fire; After the Vietnam War, Wang Meng replaced the reflection that he did not pay enough attention to the environment, which caused the fire.

Including Forrest Gump's rugby replaced by running; The interview with China has no faith, but it has been replaced by Chinese having faith and so on.

As for the big events that are explained through the lens, there are also a lot of them in this life, as long as they fit in. This is secondary.

ran for three years or ran for three years; Jenny just changed it to quiet, and the effect was the same; still went to pharm shrimp with Lin Aiguo; There is still the great devotion of the mother.

Of course, the main thing is to tell a story on a bench, and there will still be; That feather will still float in.

As long as these don't change, then the outline will be rock-solid.

This is the most important aspect, and it is also the key to Wang Meng's confidence in adapting this movie.

The second key point is ......

is the director's ability, as Wang Meng said before, the difference between literary films and commercial films.

The control and use of the lens is very important.

The reason why Wang Meng chose such a retreat shooting here is to avoid interruptions and calm down and think about it? How can you make the movie more exciting.

Combined with the above three important characters to compare, that is: Forrest Gump tells an ordinary story, but uses the camera to show the extraordinary.

It's a test, a test of the director's skills.

Including the overall layout, just like the beginning of the story, Forrest Gump sits on a chair to tell the story, and ends with sitting on a stone to send the child to school. All sitting, all of them are a mythical feather existence.

This is the beauty of the overall layout, which can be more beautiful, more artistic, and more expressive......

Final Focus......

Two words - acting!

This is all up to Huang Bo, the original Forrest Gump can be successful, Tom Hanks has played a big role, and that kind of expressive performance is the basis for Forrest Gump's character to come alive.

Tom Hanks belongs to the mythical kind, if James Cameron is a director myth, then Tom Hanks is an actor myth.

Five Oscar nominations for Best Actor, two winners, and eight Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actor, four wins. As for the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Emmy Awards, Berlin Silver Bears, and so on, the list goes on.

An actor who is still alive, find someone stronger than him, and directly Mu You?

So, actors are important.

Wang Meng carefully chose and chosen, and chose Huang Bo, the biggest reason is that he has watched "Egg Fried Rice" in his previous life, and Huang Bo also played a fool-like character.

If you let those who have seen it go to see it, no matter who plays it, there will be a sense of disobedience. Because Tom's image has become a god.

Fortunately, everyone doesn't know here, so there is Huang Bo. Wang Meng hopes that Huang Bo can be like Tom to create a godhead.

Even decades later, when it comes to the wonderful roles played by Huang Bo, they will say - Ah Niu.

……

The above three points?

To put it simply, it is to grasp the above three points firmly and create a screen classic.
