Chapter 525: Understand and Master!
The Frenchman's lair, which resembles a pub shoot, took almost a week. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Except for the occasional mistakes made by the actors, the remaining actors are of high professional quality, but there are no big mistakes.
This is inseparable from the director's ability to control, with Wang Meng as the assistant director and Michael as the director, it is actually very simple.
However, safety is a top priority, and both are very concerned.
In the last part, there were a lot of injuries. This time, the two didn't dare to be careless, maybe an accident would cause the filming of the crew to be delayed, which the two have been paying attention to.
Time flies.
The filming in Europe was orderly and went very smoothly, and European journalists knew that "The Matrix" had come to Europe, and the madness here was no worse than that of China and Hollywood, and there were many reporters who followed them crazily.
How can I say that? The French are the proudest people, and they are proud of their coercion.
The pride and arrogance that I have always thought of as the center of Europe is sometimes difficult to understand.
There's a 'real' joke. In World War II, Hitler occupied Paris, the German legions occupied Paris, and when it came to managing the French, the French were quite proud, as if they were the victors.
These Gauls don't know what modesty and prudence are.
Of course, there are many famous buildings in France, which have a long history and are well preserved.
Belch......
Or is it Hitler's problem?
Hitler was a Führer with a penchant for antiquities and architecture, and occupied Paris in France without destroying it. Of course, the French don't like the destruction of their famous buildings or capitals.
Therefore, it is generally a surrender of the city that gives up resistance.
Unlike our China, a major war often destroys countless monuments.
Even, the Old Summer Palace was burned down by the Eight-Nation Alliance, there is no such crime in Europe, but it is different in China.
Wang Meng didn't have much time to come to France, except for filming, he occasionally went out to shop.
Don't forget, the crew is a special code of eight hours, and they are very speechless. was in a hurry, but if he had to do this, Wang Meng almost ran away.
However, there are too many foreign actors in the play, so it can only be like this.
Therefore, Wang Meng's filming in Europe is still very easy, and fortunately, there are not many plots abroad, or it will be the Year of the Monkey.
In China, it's not like this, it's a big deal to raise wages, it's easy to say anything in China, unlike abroad, these guys will go on a 'willful' strike or report you.
The reputation will not be good then, will it?
This is also the reason why many foreign classics take a long time to shoot, and when Wang Meng shoots, the time will be shortened.
The industriousness of the Chinese can also be seen here?
Don't say that people are a symbol of freedom and progress? Wang Meng, from Wang Meng's point of view, is that a symbol of laziness?
Of course, a lot of people say I'm narrow, and they say I'm a turtle, okay, you say go ahead.
Anyway, the attitude and efforts of the Chinese are absolutely first-class, and our nation is a hard-working nation, except for only a few perverted peoples 'Germanic nations' and 'neon nations', few of them are on a par with the Chinese.
We are the world's factory.
Previously, the British were the world's factories, then the Americans were the world's factories, and then the Japanese (the Japanese were a bit reluctant, but they could be counted).
Now it's China.
Remember, everything that is the world's factory is the future hegemon, or will become the hegemon.
However, the world's factory also means low wages, more oppression, and less freedom than in other countries.
Precisely, this is the biggest sword of Europe and the United States against China, there is no human rights or anything, there is no eight-hour working day, there is no insurance for this and that. Anyway, the darkness is.
I don't deny that China is the best and the freest.
In comparison, we are indeed inferior to some countries in Europe and the United States.
Again, in progress, progress is better than no progress.
Ah San and the monkeys in Southeast Asia are not tired, just mix and eat, but such a country will never become a climate, either I look down on them, I just look down on them.
It's too lazy, it's too loose, it's not cohesive yet. Even so, it's still poor.
Remember, the reason why Europeans and Americans are now seems to us to be very free, 'happy or something'. It's all from our step.
Now, you can see that the world economy is shifting, moving to us.
This is the status that Europeans and Americans have lost in their pursuit of freedom, non-tiredness, rights, etc.
Whoever is the world's factory controls a large part of the world's lifeblood, why does Midi suppress China all the time, from this, the status will not be able to be maintained, so so.
After China, I don't know who it will be, and who will challenge the hegemony like the current China.
(This is a big topic, and it's also a pure nonsense topic, and it's a pain in the egg to write this in an entertainment novel.) In short, it's good to understand it this way, Europe's ease and ease is in exchange for losing its hegemon. tried to put itself out of the competition, but capitalism failed...... No more. )
The reason why Wang Meng pays attention to this is to better understand the mentality of Europeans and Americans, and their thoughts, only by understanding them can we make works that make them money.
So, yes, there's a purpose.
The current Wang Meng is the most visionary director in China, and he is very good at controlling the world's tastes, and this kind of control is not bragging, but understanding them and then targeting them. (After all, Wang Meng has a dual core of China and the West, which is admired by many people in China.) There is another such person who is Ang Lee. )
Therefore, it is not easy to be a director, and you have to control the taste of the world, so that you can like your works in the world.
For another example, directors such as Lao Mouzi and Kai Ge, why are their works decades ago so popular with fans?
Because of their works at that time, "Farewell My Concubine", "Alive", "Red Lantern", "Yellow Earth" and so on. It is in line with the atmosphere of the times, so it resonates, and many people regard it as a classic.
Why is it different later, because I can't grasp the pulse, so I don't like it, so I slowly fall behind.
Of course, it can also be said that China has become too fast.
The previous generation was still a typical 'Taizu is the greatest', and the next generation will be in the new century, and the new century will slowly not make a pilgrimage to 'Taizu the greatest' like the previous generation.
The works that are slowly being filmed can't cater to the current audience.
On the contrary, slowly funny, magical, pancakes, tumor king, monster hunting, Charlotte, etc., everyone likes to watch it.
Above...... The words of one family are pure nonsense.
However, as a director, it is quite important to grasp the pulse of the market.
was also born this year when "Avatar" was born, which happened to reach the peak of special effects, and the world happened to be shocked. Cameron definitely has his finger on the pulse and is therefore a pioneer in cinema and the king of the world.
Wang Meng is thinking about this, and he also wants to study these and see what he likes at the moment.
He was prescient, but he couldn't spend his whole life, and if he didn't spend his effort on learning, he would be eliminated sooner or later in a dozen years.
Not everything can be invincible just by bragging, just look at Wang Meng's works. The gaps are all within ten years, and even the most contemporary.
Except for "The True Story of A Niu".
However, why is "The True Story of A Niu" a myth, myths are generally uncomfortable and limited.
Because the theme is the ordinary, faith, salvation, which is inseparable from the ever-changing, as long as people still have desires, it is impossible to escape.
This is also a kind of intuitive embodiment of setting off 'classic literary films'.
In fact, everything is the same, and only by understanding the present can we face the future.
Strictly speaking, in Europe, the French are the most unique group of people, and French cinema everyone knows that they have one of their most special tastes.
Even if it is a Hollywood blockbuster, it is still not easy to do well in France, but it is difficult to get a good box office in France.
And the French are very compatible, especially for the '**** scale...... Ahem......
That's true, it's not blind, there is a bad standard in French movies - if you don't take off, don't/do/love, and don't be passionate, no one will watch it, and it won't be popular.
Cultures are different, so we can't say this in a narrow sense.
The tastes are different, in fact, France has produced a group of very good directors.
Wang Meng has studied French films, and the Western flavor is quite strong.
To understand the attitude of a country's movie fans, you can't just rely on reading newspapers, but also look at their culture and what they think.
