Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Essence of the Movie
"Very good...... It's getting more and more stated, and the number of NGs is much less than it was at the beginning! ”; The screen dimmed, the lights in the screening room turned on, Chen Yongren stretched his waist and praised Wu Yulin with a smile.
Wu Yulin first said a few words modestly, and then frowned, "Ah Ren, I've been thinking about a question recently......."
"What's the problem?" Chen Yongren didn't know if he cared, and asked with a light smile.
"I have always adhered to Master's concept of violent aesthetics, and heroes are all tragic, but this time "The True Color of Heroes" ...... Not surprisingly, the shooting was completed in another week, but the ending was still undecided, and I was hesitant to choose who would carry out the final sublimation! ”。
"You didn't ask the rest of the crew about their feelings and opinions?".
"Yes, there are quite a few, but after some consideration, there are only four left, and I would like to ask your opinion to make a final decision......."
"Let's talk about ......," Chen Yongren was slightly surprised.
"Screenwriter Chen Jiaqing suggested that Brother Hao and Pony were killed, leaving Applejack alone to take revenge and ...... grief and anger."
"It's not tragic, it's cruel, and the PASS ......."
Wu Yulin breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Jiaqing, as one of the screenwriters, has a great influence on the story direction and development of the movie, which is also the most difficult idea for him to choose. "The three protagonists are all thinking about a happy ending......".
"They have encountered ups and downs before, of course, I hope that the future of life is good, but it is contrary to the original intention, and the PASS is ......."
"It's also interesting that you found me this assistant director, he actually thought that in the end, let the protagonist, the police and the villain fight in three ways, make the scene bigger, and then the pony was killed by Ah Cheng, and the protagonist forcibly killed Ah Cheng who surrendered but was mistakenly killed by the police, and finally Ah Jie's shot Ah Cheng, leaving an unknown ending!".
"Chen Musheng?" Chen Yongren was surprised. After thinking about it, I was relieved, the former is the most commercial one of the Mesozoic directors in the future Chinese film industry, famous for his love of big scenes, and one of the most international directors.
Wu Yulin nodded, the former's idea really shocked him, "My original idea was to follow the original story and let Uncle Camel ...... Now Uncle Jian, his character image can be more distinct, and when he dies, he can also render the overall level of the movie, but I always feel that it is ...... I can't figure it out, I can't say it clearly! I'd like to ask you what you think......".
Chen Yongren tapped his fingers on the table, stopped suddenly, sighed and said, "Forget it, it's always just a movie, why bother!" ”。
Wu Yulin didn't know what to do, so he heard Chen Yongren's astonishing words, "Let the pony go to see Marx!" ”。
"What?" Wu Yulin hadn't reacted yet.
"Everything is negative yin and embraces yang, impulsive thinking that there is always a relative exchange, this is a movie of brotherhood, the beginning and the end should respond to each other, the three protagonists of the movie are all brothers-in-law centered on Brother Hao, brothers and righteous brothers, but black and white, the estrangement between brothers is not so simple to disappear, it needs an impactful and explosive node, Pony this righteous brother is the best choice, do you understand?".
"You mean...... Sacrifice oneself to become righteousness, righteousness into love? Wu Yulin muttered.
"The world is always full of injustices, the reality is always so cruel, today's society needs this kind of shocking spirit, I believe that thirty years later, there will still be people who remember that there is a person named Pony who is very righteous and can treat others with sincerity and treat others as himself, and the spirit of Pony will affect thousands of people ......."
What is a movie? The encyclopedic dictionary defines it as an art, which Chen Yongren admits, because in his eyes, anything that develops and changes to a certain extent can be regarded as an art, whether it is the shady things such as murder and theft, or the trivial things of life such as cooking and sencha......
But what is art? Some people say that art is niche and that most people can't appreciate it. Perhaps......
Chen Yongren has another understanding, in fact, art is everywhere, everyone is an artist, and their own art, but few people concretize or conceptualize it. There are some arts that even people who "don't understand art" can appreciate to themselves.
Movies are like this, many influences are like the rain on a spring night, moisturizing things silently. The appearance of many movies has far-reaching significance......
For example, many new things in the future are invented by film directors who have come up with concepts and created by film directors, such as tablets for "Star Trek", flying skateboards, head-mounted displays, fuel-powered cars and Nike self-lacing shoes, which are initially successful experiments after 30 years, for the classic sci-fi "Back to the Future", smart watches for "Detective Supreme", mechanical armor for "Alien" to "Iron Man", and so on.
There is also a spiritual level, the impact of the movie is even more far-reaching, how many people have changed their fate because of a movie story, you feel hopeless about fate, how many people have hope given by "The Shawshank Redemption"; "Forrest Gump" inspired a generation of Americans; How much love did "Titanic" achieve......
Anything that develops and changes to a certain extent can become art, so what can art become when it develops to a certain extent? can change the world......
"Star Wars" is not a science fiction movie in the simple sense, but the American dream that belongs to Americans, and this film made during the Cold War represents the American spirit; "Alive" is not a period movie that reflects the fate of a generation of Chinese through ordinary families in a simple sense, but expresses the resilience and tenacious national spirit that belongs to the Chinese......
Movies may not necessarily teach people to understand any big truths, but they are made for the public to watch, so to be worthy of the audience, the real good movie is not in the box office, but the audience feels that the time sitting in the cinema is worth it, rather than wasting their precious time.
The night was getting deeper, Zhang Manyu drove away, saw the red light on, and had no choice but to stop; Turning his head and seeing Chen Yongren's appearance outside the world, he kicked angrily, "Who do you want to be so engrossed?" ”。
"Alive" ......".
"What?".
"Oh...... I'm thinking about a movie! Chen Yongren finally came to his senses.
"What movie? "Die Hard" or "True Colors of Heroes"? ”。
"It's not ......" Chen Yongren shook his head, "I'm thinking about my next movie!" ”。
"The next movie? Didn't you say you had no money anymore? Zhang Manyu was strange.
"I didn't say that I would shoot it now, but this film is to impact the next Cannes Film Festival, of course, I have to prepare early!"
"What movie? It's only been a long time since you've been inspired, and you still look confident, so why be so persistent? What are you for? Face? You don't look like someone who can get carried away when you're angry! ”。
"It's not for the sake of face, it's for ...... Forget it, I won't be able to tell for a while! ”。
"Can you get the Palme d'Or if you like it? It's not bad for you to win the Grand Jury Prize at your age, the first time a Chinese have won this award; I heard Director Wu say that many people in the film industry now regard you as the future star of the Chinese film industry! ”; The green light was already on, and in a burst of urging, Zhang Manyu drove the car.
"Not ...... enough".
"What's enough?".
"Let's put it this way...... I want people who will be engaged in the film industry in the future to be led by me, and those who make money by investing in movies have to look at my face, and the most important thing to do these two is status, so of course I want to be famous first! ”。
"Speak big...... Do you think you are in the rivers and lakes and choose the leader of the martial arts alliance? The film industry is all about you? No one has done this since the movie appeared, Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lei, these big bosses can't do it, Mr. Wang of Siyuan Pictures has a high status in the film industry, right? Isn't it still the same as Mr. Zhou? ”。
"No matter what kind of industry you are engaged in in this world, be realistic...... It is based on two things, fame and strength; There is a famous person, the head of the silver gun wax pole, Wang Siyuan is like this, his status is due to his long time in the mix, often brings juniors, and has a wide range of friends, so he has a respectable appearance in name, but count it carefully, we have to rely on movies to do our business, although he has many movie boutiques, there are more people who shoot better than him, which is the 'godfather of Hong Kong films'? ”。
"What about the tycoons? If you want to cover the sky with one hand, you can still cover them? ”。
Although Tycoon and Mr. Zhou are also from film production, they are more of a production planner and belong to the identity of businessmen, so they cannot be compared; I will reach the top in the future, and naturally I can't cover the sky with one hand for them, and the ideal is that I am the only one who looks ...... the horse."
"That is, it must be famous and real, but now that the market is mature, the Hong Kong film industry has been monopolized by the three major theater chains, even if you get a position, where will you have the strength to fight against the three tycoons?"
"Huh...... Hong Kong? The world is so big, always stay in Hong Kong, your heart will become smaller, be a little more generous! ”。
"What do you mean?".
"Zhou Wenhuai is thinking about making Brother Yuanlong the second Bruce Lee, if I am still limited to the small land of Hong Kong, wouldn't it be very worthless?"
"Alright...... It's time to wake up when you're home! "The car stopped......
"Didn't we have a good conversation?"
"What about talking to happy ghosts? I'm so busy driving, how can I have time to listen to what you're talking about? "Zhang Manyu didn't have a good airway.
"......" Chen Yongren wondered, the girl's mind really can't be guessed, the change that doesn't make sense at all is too sudden!
"I'll go back to sleep first, you go to park......" Zhang Manyu got out of the car.
Chen Yongren was stunned, "Let's ...... together."
"I'm not feeling well today, you go back to your own house, don't disturb my rest!".
"That...... The great aunt is here? I didn't dare to say this, men have their own reasons for doing things, and women also have them, and it makes sense if it doesn't make sense; Falling in love with a young woman is troublesome, one of the ten first loves is astringent, and the remaining nine are barbaric, unfortunately, I still thought I was lucky to meet the only one, but I didn't expect it to be no, and the essence of the inside is still eight or nine times out of ten.
It's still a little dragon girl, Chen Yongren suddenly thought of Chengyulian, and it feels very different to be with the latter, very soft, very light, and very comfortable......
