Chapter 293: Agility
is also a student of the film academy, compared with Lin Xiaoling's step-by-step order, Jia Zhangke's shooting is much more casual, he follows his own feelings more, not necessarily according to the script. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He spends a lot of time filming something that is not subject to the subject, which has to do with the fact that he is not a student of the directing department.
Just like Zhang Yimou studied photography in film school, so the images in his films are very unique, which is a personal style.
For a director, style is important, it's like a label that says you're different from everyone else.
Lin Zixuan has cooperated with many directors.
Some directors have a cautious personality, his job is to complete the content of the script, just shoot the film in a down-to-earth manner, and some directors are full of creativity, he is not satisfied with the script, and prefers to play on the spot.
It is impossible to say which one is better, a conservative director can at least ensure that the quality of the film will not be bad, and a creative director is likely to make a good film, which is possible.
As a producer and the owner of a film and television company, Lin Zixuan prefers to cooperate with the former, and there is a great risk in cooperating with the latter.
In another identity, as the director's brother, he hopes that Lin Xiaoling's movies will be more spiritual and free, and can bring a different film to the audience.
In the screening room, Lin Zixuan looked at the materials shot by Lin Xiaoling and put forward his own opinions.
"Look at this, the camera angle, and these images, it's too rigid. Lin Zixuan said unceremoniously, "You have watched "Sunny Day", the shots in it give people a flying feeling, very smart, you look at what you shot, this is the gap." ”
"Brother, Brother Jiang's film has invested tens of millions, and I only have less than 300,000 yuan, how can I shoot that feeling, I think this is good. Lin Xiaoling said aggrieved.
"It's not about how much you invest, it's about whether you have that awareness. Lin Zixuan criticized, "Your work as a student is considered to be passing, but you just want to pass, don't you want to be excellent?"
"Of course I want to be excellent, this is not the first time I have filmed, I am worried that the shooting will be smashed, and I want to be safe. Lin Xiaoling explained.
"What are you afraid of if you smash it, you just can't let go now, where is the momentum when you first filmed "Sister"?" Lin Zixuan instructed, "Be bolder, let go of the shooting, let the camera speak, and we can't afford to lose if we smash it." ”
"Okay, there's always a process for making movies, and this is just the beginning, and it's better later. Mu Shanshan persuaded on the side.
"I'm just casually saying that the two actors acted well, but there is one point, their tone of voice is wrong, too rhythmic, not enough life-oriented. Lin Zixuan pointed out.
Jin Yaqin has been acting in dramas for many years, Xu Jinglei is a student of the acting department, and her lines are all subdued and frustrated, with a great sense of tension and rhythm, which sounds tasteful.
This is a lesson that actors usually have to practice.
For example, Ge You, his line skills are very strong, and his characteristics in reading lines are that he speaks slowly and uses breath tones, which makes the audience feel comfortable to listen to.
But he doesn't talk like this in his usual life, why? Then he is too tired to speak, if he really says it word by word during the performance, not only will he not be able to stand it, but the people who are chatting with him will not be able to stand it, and they will be tired to listen.
That's the difference between acting and life.
Jin Yaqin and Xu Jinglei's line skills are good, if it is in other film and television dramas, it will definitely be no problem.
But the film "The Two of Us" pays attention to absolute life, just according to ordinary life, and there is no need to use the tone of the performance, so that it can appear real.
Although Lin Zixuan has never been a director, he has seen a lot, so he naturally has experience and can perceive the problem.
He won't say these words directly to the actors, but Lin Xiaoling, as the director, will say them, and the authority of the director in the crew needs to be maintained.
Lin Xiaoling made more attempts in the subsequent shooting, trying to capture the spirituality in the lens.
Every director has a starting stage and there are times when they make mistakes, graduating from film school is just the beginning, getting the qualification to enter the industry, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
The box office of "See You or Leave" was weak after it exceeded 33 million, because Xiangjiang's action movie was released.
Not only has the number of films scheduled in theaters declined, but the audience was also attracted by Xiangjiang blockbusters, and it was estimated that it could only reach 35 million when it came to the next level, which was not far from the expected 40 million.
If there is no Xiangjiang blockbuster, then the box office of "See You or Leave" is very likely to exceed 40 million.
This is the schedule war, whoever occupies a good schedule and who can be shown in theaters for a long time will be able to achieve a good box office.
For the sake of profits, China Film Company arranged a good schedule for the introduction of blockbusters, squeezing the living space of domestic films, which caused dissatisfaction in the domestic film industry.
Think about it, ten blockbusters are imported a year, and one movie is released in theaters for about a month, leaving extremely limited time for domestic films, and now domestic films cannot compete with Hollywood blockbusters.
As a result, some people have called for at least two months of slots for domestic films every year, and no Hollywood blockbusters can be released during this time, which is the bill for the protection of domestic films.
There is a precedent for this situation in other countries.
In order to protect their film industry, many countries have enacted policies to restrict Hollywood blockbusters, stipulating that theaters cannot release less than a certain quota of domestic films each year.
However, this also caused another problem, that is, domestic films were released in a bunch at a certain time, killing each other.
These are all problems that the film industry needs to solve.
At the same time, domestic film companies began to produce domestic blockbusters under the stimulus of Hollywood blockbusters.
A private film and television company in the south cooperated with Hucheng Film Studio to invest 20 million yuan to create a blockbuster film belonging to China, and their slogan is: challenge imported blockbusters and create domestic high-quality products.
The film is directed by Hu Xuehua, a young director who returned from studying in the United States, and the title is "Lanling King".
As soon as the news came out, it shook the domestic film industry.
Everyone was very excited, thinking that this was a good start, and after a year in the shadow of Hollywood blockbusters, someone was finally going to rebel, and domestic blockbusters were coming.
Some people also expressed concern, believing that at this stage, domestic films cannot be compared with Hollywood blockbusters in terms of technology and concept, and it is difficult to recover the cost of such a large investment.
For comparison, the investment in "See You or Leave" is 8 million, the investment in "Sunny Day" is 10 million, and the investment in "Alive" is 20 million.
In China, the box office of a movie with an investment of 20 million must exceed 60 million to avoid losing money, and it is basically difficult to achieve this goal.
In any case, this news is encouraging, and the blockbuster road of domestic films has officially opened from this moment. (To be continued.) )
