"Imperfect? Then tell me what kind of imperfect method is. ”

Jiang Wen sat down suddenly, but his face was smiling, Huang Jianxing looked frightened, he knew that after Jiang Wen drank, he would talk a lot when he was happy, but he would laugh when he was angry, and the happier he laughed, the more angry he became.

Li Xiaole sat up straighter, looked at Jiang Wen without giving in: "The whole movie is very well structured, the plot is wonderful, and the actors perform exquisitely, but there is a clever passage in it, which overemphasizes dramatization and completely ignores the feelings of the audience......

"Go on, which paragraph?" Jiang Wen smiled even more happily.

Li Xiaole said slowly: "There is a passage like this, the people in the village are very kind and dare not kill people, so you helped them think of a way, invited a professional executioner from Tianjin, killed the 'Eight Ministers', beheaded Tan Sitong, killed people with only one knife, and never missed a hand, hence the name' 'A knife Liu', this person is very nagging, you know that you are Japanese through the sack, and the process of killing is also very dramatic, dazzling the villagers, and also dizzying the audience, this is a plot that can be imitated by an extremely intelligent person like you, and it really brings fun to the film......"

"But?" Jiang Wen asked with a smile and made a gesture to continue.

Li Xiaole sighed with sincerity on his face: "But ~ very regrettably, this interesting plot actually greatly weakens the shock of the film, far less than in the original novel, inviting a butcher from a neighboring village to kill pigs to help kill people Liliang, this is a smart mistake accidentally made by extremely smart people, that is, mistakenly thinking that the audience's consciousness mode is the same as their own, this is the so-called genius-type mistake, only geniuses will make too smart." ”

Just when Huang Jianxing wanted to rush up and hug Jiang Wen to stop being beaten by drunken madness, Jiang Wen suddenly stopped laughing, but asked with a puzzled expression, "Is that so?" Of course, this sentence is not asking Li Xiaole, but asking himself, and Li Xiaole seems to point out a key point that makes him start thinking about this question.

Li Xiaole already knew at this time that Jiang Wen had been moved by his own opinion, but he was still skeptical, so he increased his tone again, and suddenly changed his words:

"There is a similar example, I also know a big director, he once made a comment on Ge You's most haode movie "Alive", he thinks that "Alive" should be a verb, and his heart should be very active, Ge You heard about the situation of the family and the landlord, and Yujian came to his own end, the plot should not be Ge You was cheated out of his worth at the gambling table and was accidentally rated as ' Poor peasants', but should take the initiative to give up, use a gamble to lose the land and the family, and become a poor peasant, but as a result, he got his wish and escaped a catastrophe and survived. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Wen's eyes suddenly widened after hearing this, because Li Xiaole said that this point of view was exactly what he thought in his heart, but he had never told anyone! How could anyone think of going with him!? I felt more and more that the person in front of me was amazing.

"Of course not, this is the 'genius' mistake that only the typical smart person makes." Li Xiaole slowly shook his head and said:

He thinks that the audience is as smart as him, in fact, the audience will not think of this method at all, if Ge You is really so wise and so active, then the audience will not feel that he is Ge You at all, let alone sympathize with him, then Ge You was stung by suffering in the later plot, will the audience still be touched? My friend thinks he's smarter than director Zhang Yimou, but he's just self-absorbed......"

Jiang Wen was stunned on the spot after hearing Zuihou's words, looking at the sky for a long time and couldn't say a word, Huang Jianxing next to him was stupid, this empty-eyed Jiang genius was criticized in front of him and didn't get angry, nor did he refute it? Is the sun coming out in the west today?

Li Xiaole didn't continue to speak, he knew that the artist had really begun to think about the flaws in his films, and he had to give him some time to digest them.

Of course, the analogy he just made, and the flaws of "The Devil is Coming" were not analyzed by him, but the content of the chapters about Jiang Wen in Director Feng Xiaogang's autobiography that he watched, Feng Xiaogang felt that Jiang Wen was stronger than him and more talented than him everywhere in reality, and admired him very much, but in his heart he felt that he always wanted to find a little fault, so he kept knocking on the side in his constant interactions with Jiang Wen, and finally asked these contents from Jiang Wen's own mouth.

And these contents are Jiang Wen's reflections on himself after he became more mature a few years later, so coming out of other people's mouths will bring him a great shock now.

In Feng Xiaogang's words, the problem of general directors is how to make their films meet the haode standard, while Jiang Wen's problem is how to control his talent, for Jiang Wen, his biggest problem is that he is too smart, smart more than everyone else.

"No, it's still not." Jiang Wen lowered his head and thought for a long time, before he looked up at Li Xiaole strangely and waved his hand: "I think what you said is still very problematic, you are a set of Western movie things." Then straightened his waist and resumed his domineering posture and said, "I want to please the audience?" What I'm trying to do is conquer the audience. ”

When Li Xiaole heard this answer, he suddenly couldn't help but smile in his heart, sure enough, it was Jiang Wen ten years ago, this was indeed what he used to talk about, and after waiting for ten years, his mantra would be changed: "I am not to please the audience, but to talk to the audience about love from the heart, we love each other." ”

But he knows Jiang Wen too well, he is a person who will never admit his mistakes, but this is exactly what he can use, Li Xiaole will not be naïve to think that he can refute Jiang Wen speechless in a few words, and this artist can bow his head and say to himself: "I was wrong, Director Li, you are more good than me, what you shoot is my share." ”

Now that the words just now can achieve the most haode effect, Li Xiaole seized this fleeting opportunity and proposed:

"Teacher Jiang, why don't we take a gamble?"

"Bet on what?" As soon as Jiang Wen heard the word betting, his eyes immediately lit up.

"If the movie you made this time is not profitable after its release, and you are proved wrong, you will deign to be the leading actor of one of my films." Li Xiaole said with a smile.

"Be your leading man...... haha。 Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly daxiao got up, walked over and patted Li Xiaole on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Director Xiao Li, my Director Xiao Li~ You have gone around in such a big circle, it turned out that you had this idea?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Jiang, you're smiling." Li Xiaole accepted it when he saw it, and immediately pretended to be well-behaved, giggling, and the atmosphere immediately changed from tense to cordial and friendly.

"Indeed, usually my old Jiang usually likes to play and bet on some lotteries, but why can't I figure it out, I want to bet with you?" Jiang Wen looked at Li Xiaole strangely: "You said that you had to be cheap if I lost, but if I win against you, what benefits can I get?" Huang Lao, do you think I can do any good? Saying that, looking at Huang Jianxing and asking, Phantom Sword just glanced at Li Xiaole with a smile and didn't speak.

Jiang Wen said here, teasing and touching Li Xiaole's little tender face: "Just you?" If you want money or not, you're still a man, what do I want? Do you want to take you as a godson? Jiang Wen haha smiled, feeling that this thing was really a bit funny, no matter how Li Xiaole was good at it and how competitive he was, but this gambling contract should also be reasonable.

"Yes, Director Xiao Li, you want to be a white wolf with empty gloves for our little ginger~ You are too cunning, don't think that Xiao Jiang will be confused when he drinks alcohol, but I am still here." Huang Jianxing was joking beside him.

"Of course I have the corresponding bet~" Li Xiaole smiled faintly, leaned over and asked Jiang Wen mysteriously: "Mr. Jiang, I heard that you haven't found your film investment this time, right?" The group probably didn't approve your application for financing. ”

"It's still in the process of applying~ I think it's been a matter of the last few months." Jiang Wen said disapprovingly, but he has always been worried about this matter, he is expected to invest 40 million in this movie, and China Film will approve at least 10 million funds, so that he can have the capital to go to other film companies to negotiate financing, with his very uncommercial script, I am afraid it will be quite difficult.

"That's it, we are a studio, I will find a way to give you the group to approve this money, before the Spring Festival at the latest." Li Xiaole thought about it for a while and roughly estimated the time.

Jiang Wen and Huang Jianxing were stunned for a few seconds when they heard this, and then they immediately looked at each other and laughed, they drank together and heard countless people boast after drinking, and even heard an investment boss claim that he wanted to buy the "Black Sea Fleet" left by the former Soviet Union, sail to the Taiwan Strait, and peacefully reunify the two sides of the strait, but it is not as outrageous as Li Xiaole's words today.

The newcomer who just came two days ago, the director of the light pole producer, is ashamed to let the group approve an investment of 10 million for himself, which is really ridiculous~~

"Director Xiao Li~ My Lao Huang is very curious, so what are you going to bet on?" Huang Jianxing was already asking questions in a ridiculous mood at this time.

Li Xiaole noticed Jiang Wen and Huang Jianxing's expressions, and knew that they were finally hooked by himself, so he said his thoughts seriously:

"It's very simple, I've found a suitable script, and after I get the group's investment, I'll shoot it and release it at the end of the year, I expect that there should be a box office of 40 million, and the group company should have a profit of about 30 million, I should be able to apply for the same amount of investment in the next film, but I don't need so much, I can take out 10 million and transfer it to Mr. Jiang in the same group to shoot a new work."

Huang Jianxing and Wei Xiao next to him opened their mouths slightly when they listened, their faces were stiff, this Director Li is simply running a train with his mouth full, and last year's domestic film champion Feng Xiaogang's "Big Bowl" was only 43 million yuan, and he was good, and he said that he could get 40 million box office...... It's not pure nonsense, no.
