Chapter 203 Scene 203 Flirting with the audience
"So how do I write that...... Write this thing with emotion...... What else do I write at this age......" Liu Da was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile.
"That's right~" Li Xiaole "snapped" and looked at everyone in the crew and said: "Materialists, since you need emotions to write love letters, do you think you need emotions to make movies?" ”
"Of course." "Sure?" As soon as everyone thought about it, they all changed their words.
"By the way, you are all engaged in art, you should know that lighting, radio, and even props, which are all viable, such as props, the same set of props, you put them in different moods, will the results be the same? Even if it's only a few centimeters off, will it feel the same? ”
Everyone began to bow their heads and ponder, and seemed to feel more and more that this Director Li was reasonable.
Li Xiaole saw that the people below stopped talking, and knew that they had listened, so he finally turned back to the topic and began to explain:
"Actually, I've been thinking that Weishenme American comedy movies are good, you can say that his script is good, the story structure is good, the values are good, all of them make sense, but they are not 100% true, these are all dead frames, even if you follow them meticulously, you still can't get out of their Haode movies."
"What do you think is the reason for the director?" Fang Guorong asked curiously, and everyone's eyes shifted to Li Xiaole's face, wanting to know the answer.
Li Xiaole smiled: "I have observed that they have a certain 'flirt' mentality towards the audience. ”
"Flirting?" Everyone opened their mouths wide and wondered, this was the first time they had heard someone use this word to describe a movie.
"Yes, flirt." Li Xiaole said: "What is flirting? It's not that it's not serious, but that they don't treat the audience as God, and once the audience is God, this comedy can't be watched, they make movies first to make themselves feel good, who still flirts when they are in a bad mood?
When making a movie, it is a creative process, creating joy, why don't you be happy? Then through this joy, adjust yourself to a state of more hormones, neither too young, nor too old, and have more mental and physical strength, and then start an interaction with the audience across the screen. ”
"And the traditional Chinese filmmakers." Li Xiaole said here and looked at everyone with a smile: "Yes, that is, you, often think that making movies is a kind of torture process, in the process of filming, you first torture yourself, and then the things that are filmed, and then torture the audience, and then say 'I'm all for your good', do you think the relationship between the two sides can be good in this way?" ”
The scene was already silent, including Fang Guorong and Lao Jiangtou, who had been in the industry for decades, seemed to have been empowered by Li Xiaole's remarks, and began to think about their attitude towards making movies, indeed, they seem to regard making movies as a means of making a living, work, but they don't like this process anymore,
The people involved in the filming are not happy themselves, how can they make a comedy that makes people laugh?
After being silent for about ten seconds, Liu Danose spoke again, raised his hand and retorted: "Director, I agree with your point of view, but we are different from you, you are young and promising~ Twenty years old is already a dignified director, we have been mixed for half our lives or this virtue, the wife and children at home have to take care of the elderly, and the monthly salary is so much, you let us film happily, how can we be happy?" ”
"Yes~ Our life is so stressful, it's too late to cry every day, how can we laugh......" "I want to laugh too, but I just can't laugh~" "I'm a lot older, I'm tired, sometimes I really want to close my eyes and die to count the ball, at least I don't have to be so annoying." ”
Seeing everyone open their hearts and talking, Fang Guorong was also very surprised, he already clearly felt that Li Xiaole gradually began to gather this group of free and loose China Film employees, you must know that these people in China Film except for Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang don't seem to have really convinced anyone, this student-like Li Xiaole can do this It is really incredible.
"Fart~!" Just when everyone was talking about how hard they were living, Li Xiaole suddenly shouted angrily and startled everyone, just look at Li Xiaole pointing at this group of people:
"You're all talking about how miserable your life is? So I can't be happy, then I ask you, which of your living conditions is more difficult now than 20 years ago? Were you happy twenty years ago? ”
Everyone is looking at me, I look at you, and I can't speak for a while, yes, to talk about living conditions, of course, they are much better than before, but weishenme life weishenme is not as happy as before?
"So do you understand now, it's not that you can't be happy, it's that you can't be happy, it's that you don't want to do it, you take making movies as one of the most painful things in your life to do, we want to make a good comedy, and all of you will at least reach a state of being ten times happier than now~~"
"Then what should we do, we can't find this happy state?" Liu Da nose shouted loudly, he understood the reason, but to be happy, it didn't come just as it was.
"Well, you laugh, laugh hard, and laugh too much to stir up your emotions." Fang Guorong came up with an idea next to him, he had studied psychology and knew that physiology can drive physiology, everyone nodded, who doesn't want to make themselves happy.
"Okay, you guys try it first." Li Xiaole smiled and shouted: "One, two, three~laugh~~"
A small half of the group of people smiled, but at first they felt good when they laughed, but after a few minutes it was difficult, and many people were very embarrassed because they didn't laugh well, as if their faces were being pulled up, and they were very rigid.
"No, director~? Why am I smiling so much? Liu Dabi shouted on behalf of everyone again, and Fang Guorong was also a little embarrassed, feeling that he had not done a good job.
"So be it." Li Xiaole clapped his hands and stood up, and walked to the center of the crowd: "Don't be so serious, let's play a game." ”
"It's good to play games~It's good to play games~" "Happiness can't be too rigid~" Everyone was much more relaxed when they heard the game.
"When I say laugh, everyone laughs, and when I say don't laugh, everyone is not allowed to laugh." After Li Xiaole finished speaking, seeing that everyone was hanging their heads and couldn't lift their spirits, he added: "If you laugh together, I shout to stop, and you can all stop, then I will award each of you 500 yuan, Fang Producer, you testify." ”
"It's really fake~ Director, you can't talk in the vernacular~!" "It's still interesting for the director~ It's called a game when there are colorful heads." When everyone heard this, their interest suddenly rose, and they all stared at Li Xiaole's face, and their eyes were shining, for fear that they would lose the game by mistake.
Seeing that Li Xiaole closed his eyes and brewed his emotions, he laughed, everyone was about to laugh with him, but he waved his hand: "Wait a minute, the mood is not right, I'll bring something." As he spoke, he pushed the Aleflex 535 camera in front of him.
Touching the Aleflex 535, Li Xiaole felt like getting the most precious treasure of shijie, and he was in a very good mood, and couldn't help but be happy "haha" daxiao, everyone looked at him and didn't know that he was so happy, but he was soon infected by his laughter, and a group of people laughed "haha", and for a while, the hearty laughter of more than 100 people filled the air of this factory echo, silly and silly, everyone was very happy.
"Don't laugh!" Just when everyone was laughing, Li Xiaole suddenly shouted, and everyone was stunned at first, but in less than a second, they heard a lot of "poof" and laughed.
Looking at this scene, Li Xiaole laughed happily again, everyone laughed again, laughed a little, and Li Xiaole shouted again, "Don't laugh!" But this time, there were more people who couldn't hold back their laughter than last time, and even the old people who watched coldly in Lao Jiangtou were amused by the scene in front of them, and their mouths couldn't close.
In this way, in just a few dozen seconds, everyone seemed to feel very happy, no matter how Li Xiaole shouted "stop", they couldn't stop, looking at everyone next to him was daxiao from the bottom of their hearts, no matter how gloomy the person was, they became cheerful.
"Look, that's right, that's what it means, now it's ten times happier than your usual state, in the future, this game, every time you play before starting, which time you win, I will admit it~" Li Xiaole took advantage of this atmosphere and clapped his hands with a smile: "Okay, now the meeting is dismissed and continue shooting." ”
"Good column director~" "The people in each group are in place, don't giggle haha when you say you~" "Hehe, you guy didn't smirk just now, we have money for supper~ You still say me." ”
Although everyone lost the game and didn't win 200 yuan, they were much happier than winning the money, and they returned to their posts one by one, and the feeling was completely different, not only the action was a lot sharper, but it was more enjoyable to do, and it was more smooth, and that state was like that, he didn't have to worry at all, he could do the things at hand, and it was very smooth.
Sun Li and Sun Honglei and other actors watched from the side, and they all smiled from ear to ear, Sun Li asked Sun Honglei curiously: "Brother Hong Lei, you have stayed in the crew of Zhao Baogang and Zhang Yimou, what do you think of our director compared to them?" ”
"It's not good, it's not good......" Sun Honglei smiled crookedly, turned his head and looked at Li Xiaole from afar: "But...... Among the directors I know, the most similar leader is our Director Li, if it is replaced by Director Zhang and Director Zhao, at his age, I am afraid that he will not be able to manage a crew as large as more than 100 people. ”
"I don't think it's anything, it's like the potential training class in school." Sun Li shook her head but didn't want to admit how good Li Xiaole was, she always felt in her heart that Li Xiaole was not the bear child of Rong Yingying's blind date......
It wasn't until Li Xiaole started filming that Ning Hao immediately felt that the atmosphere in the shooting had changed, and the mechanical jerkiness of each department before completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of smooth flow, and the actors still acted like that, but the picture gave people a completely different feeling, very vivid and lively, every shot had that kind of fresh vitality, Ning Hao looked at the shock in his heart that could not be described in words, it turned out that his script could still have such a haode feeling when he was filmed, this is a comedy.
"Producer Fang, do you think this film should be able to pay for itself?" Ning Hao suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, and leaned next to Fang Guorong and asked, Fang Guorong has more experience than him in the film market.
"There is hope, but it is difficult." Fang Guorong was stunned, thought about it for a while, and came to such a conclusion, if it was placed ten years ago, with Li Xiaole's ability, he would definitely be able to recover the cost, but now in the cold and biting ice age of Chinese films, things are difficult to say, what will be the result after the release? Fang Guorong actually didn't have any bottom in his heart.
