Chapter 159: Happier than Your Parents
Chapter 159: Happier than your parents
It makes people laugh at home, and is even regarded as a classic comedy, and when it is screened abroad, it may not be able to win the audience's laughter. There are many laughs in the film, I'm afraid they will be inexplicable when they watch it.
Comedy has innate advantages and fatal flaws. Relying on comedy, you will definitely not be able to break into Hollywood. Even the work of the king of comedy in the previous life rushing to the international stage did not rely on the comedy elements in the film.
Chinese films can rely on kung fu films and action movies to "hit" into the European and American markets, but relying on comedy films, they will definitely not be able to enter the European and American markets. And it is equally difficult for European and American comedies to win a high box office in China.
In his previous life, there was no shortage of classic comedies in Hollywood, and Zhang Le had also seen a lot. But I really didn't laugh a few times, and the stalk inside was a little difficult to understand, and even difficult to accept.
The easiest to be accepted by each other is naturally science fiction films, but unfortunately Chinese science fiction films are really speechless. This is also an important factor that Chinese films are difficult to attack.
Action movies naturally have advantages, but they will directly stun you with a big investment. No matter how good your actions are, in front of the big scene, it is also your turn to make a small fight.
"What type of film do you want to make?" Zhang Le asked, "Action?" Science fiction? Magic? β
"Science fiction!" Tang Xiao said very simply.
"Science fiction? That's a type of money burning, and the risk is not ordinary. Feng Lei said.
In terms of the genre of films, comedy is undoubtedly the least risky, and the investment does not need to be very large. But science fiction films, the investment is too small, and they can't be made. If the investment is large and the shooting is not good, the chance of losing money is even greater.
And Chinese movies are above science fiction. Some congenital deficiencies. There are many directors in China, but few try it. It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. The odds of failure are too great. If it fails, will those investors still take the money to ask you to make a movie?
Science fiction films, in China, are a genre that many directors are reluctant to marry.
"Some sci-fi films don't need to burn too much money." Zhang Le thought about it and said.
"I knew you had an idea." Tang Xiao listened. got up and smiled, "I'm waiting for your good news." β
Zhang Le was stunned, and after Tang Xiao said this, he didn't stop, turned around and walked out of the office.
"What else do I want to talk to him about my thoughts?" Zhang Le looked at Feng Lei and said.
"After your script is written, let's discuss it with him." Feng Lei smiled, also walked out, and said. "I'm busy, let's go first. You don't have to send. β
"Two bastards." Zhang Le scolded with a smile.
In Zhang Le's mind, a science fiction film with a small investment and high evaluation did appear. Of course, it's not so much a sci-fi film as it is a drama.
It is a plot suspense film whose theme is set under the gimmick of "time travel" and the faΓ§ade of science fiction films.
The main narrative elements are placed on the level of bombs to create suspense, and endless puzzles are used to create problems for the protagonist; At the same time, clues are carefully set up to test the audience's meticulousness in watching the movie. While the plot is tense, the love element is still set up. Become a good "mood regulator" for the film.
This is a film that challenges the audience's thinking.
This film is well made and is a classic. Shoot badly. It's a bad movie. Whether it is a classic or a bad movie, it depends on whether the director has the ability to lead the audience by the nose.
"Source Code", let Tang Xiao make this film, obviously has a great risk.
Zhang Le hesitated for a moment, but then smiled. Laugh at yourself for being self-righteous. The world is not just about yourself. Do others make a good movie about their past life without the original version as a reference?
If a director must have a film as a reference to shoot a good movie, then he is the only one in the world who can make a good film.
That laughs. There is also Zhang Le's self-deprecation in the laughter.
Director, is he a director? Actually, it's just a porter. It's just that when I was moving, I added some of my own things.
"What's wrong? Look at you frowning. β
Yang Xin'er's voice intended Zhang Le to fall into a strange circle of his own thinking. Zhang Le looked over and saw Yang Xin'er's concern on her face, and immediately played the role. Why do you care so much? Bring the classic movies you loved in your past life to this world. Why not be a porter?
What's more, feeling and absorbing in handling is also a shortcut to improve one's own ability.
"Nothing." Zhang Le smiled and said.
"Lin Yang, the two of them didn't agree?" Yang Xin'er asked.
"Oh, haven't had time to call them yet." Zhang Le smiled awkwardly and said, "I was about to call them just now, but I was interrupted by Tang Xiao and Feng Lei. β
Zhang Le plans to invite Lin Yang and Chen Fang to make cameo appearances as the couple next door to the hero and heroine in the film. Yang Xin'er frowned when she saw Zhang Le, and thought that the two of them had refused.
Lin Yang and Chen Fang are now the darlings of major variety shows, and their popularity is extremely high, so they naturally don't need to play cameo roles in movies to increase exposure.
However, Zhang Le's invitation and Lin Yang agreed very simply. Let's not talk about how many people pay attention to Zhang Le's new film, but Zhang Le himself is also worthy of the two of them to buy a cameo.
"Let's go!" Yang Xin'er saw that Zhang Le finished talking on the phone, and then said.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Le looked at Yang Xin'er suspiciously and said.
"Didn't you say I'm going back to see my grandfather today?" Yang Xin'er spoke.
"Oh, yes." Zhang Le patted his forehead and smiled a little embarrassedly.
Watching the news yesterday, another founding father passed away, and that person and Old Man Yang are still old comrades-in-arms. Although Old Man Yang came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, he was already used to seeing life and death. But Yang Xin'er was still worried that his grandfather's mood would be affected by this, so she planned to go back with Zhang Le to have a look.
The quality of the mood still has a great impact on the health of an elderly person.
Yang Xin'er is Mr. Yang's favorite granddaughter, and every time Yang Xin'er goes back, he is in a very good mood.
"You have a heart." Old Man Yang was still very happy that Yang Xin'er and Zhang Le could come back to see him at this time.
Lao Xu is gone, but compared to those comrades who died on the battlefield, he is lucky, and there is nothing to be sad about. At least we have all seen the prosperity and strength of the country and walked with peace of mind. Old Man Yang smiled and continued, "I also left that day, and I also left with a smile." β
"Grandpa, what do you say!" Yang Xin'er said, her tone was a little blameful, but more revealing concern.
"Good, good. Don't talk about it. Old Man Yang looked at Zhang Le and suddenly said, "You have been with Xin'er for so long, it's time for the two families to meet." It's inconvenient for us to leave Beijing, so let's bring your parents to Yanjing for the Spring Festival this year. β
"Good!" Zhang Le responded.
When Yang Xin'er heard this, her face turned red, with a little shyness. She naturally knew what her grandfather meant by this.
"You have a better vision than your mother." Old Man Yang glanced at Yang Xin'er and said with a smile.
"Where? Mom's vision is not good, and there is no me. Yang Xin'er smiled and said.
"Haha!" When Old Man Yang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "She has a good eye, so she won't marry your father." You ask her how long she can stay with your dad a year now? You are happier than your parents. (To be continued......)
