Chapter 693: Laughing at the Storm
Xin Linli's words made Su Ming think of the other movies released in the early stage, all of which were art films. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Ming felt that his aesthetics were already high, but even he was drowsy.
What the little fool said is not false at all, even if it is an art film, it should be able to make the audience watch it and attractive.
In fact, many so-called art films, like bad commercial films, are also just branded as 'art', and the content is really not flattering.
In a commercial society, such an art film can only dig its own grave.
"I would like to add that even if it is an art film, it can be made into a form that the people like to see." Su Ming said: "For example, a generation of grandmasters. ”
"Yes!" Xin Linli slapped her thigh heavily, and with a snap, a red slap mark immediately appeared on the white leg wearing shorts, which made Su Ming's heart tremble, but she didn't realize it, and continued to say like a river: "This is the problem of plot and acting skills." Speaking from the heart, the visual effects of the Legend of the Gods are actually quite amazing, the castle in the air can be regarded as magnificent, the Ten Arks sailing in the turbulent sea, and the castle like a space fortress walking through the Bagua Array; There is also a nine-tailed demon fox that is ever-changing. From the perspective of an audio-visual feast, it is worthy of a magic blockbuster...... However, there is really something wrong with the plot...... Since we already have a strong special effects team and visual performance capabilities, why don't we use all this money, these technologies, and these high-tech on the "right path"? I remember that when technology was not developed in the past, the special effects of Journey to the West and Fengshen Bang filmed in the mainland may not even have three cents, but the plot is very attractive. ”
Su Ming thought for a while and said: "The adaptation is difficult, too deep, most of the audience can't understand it, and if it's too shallow, it will be reduced to what it is now: a cutscene that relies on special effects to support the scene." ”
"You don't have to change it drastically!" Xin Linli waved her hand very imposingly.
"No adaptation?" Su Ming was slightly stunned, this statement is very fresh. Aren't all the current magic blockbusters 'adapted' from the original book?
"In other words, there is no need for large-scale adaptation, the purpose of adaptation is to faithfully reflect the original work." Xin Linli explained: "Chinese culture is broad and profound, and the myths and legends handed down from our ancestors have been polished and tested over hundreds of years, and such stories are not only beautiful and interesting, but also full of historical and cultural value. As long as we inherit it, make appropriate adjustments on the original basis, and give it technical innovation and gorgeous visual presentation, it is already very perfect, why do we have to abandon the original story line and talk nonsense there? From screenwriters to directors, do you think your IQ is better than that of many ancients over the centuries? In that case, it would be nice to rewrite a new story, so why use the name of a famous book? Isn't that a lie? ”
……
After chatting with Xin Linli for more than an hour, Su Ming found that this janitor was not as good as a dog, and even the boss couldn't recognize it in person.
Look at the time is not early, stay alone in the company with a young female colleague until too late, it is good to say that it is not good to pass it out, Su Ming looked at the time, and prepared to leave.
Tomorrow morning, he will call Long Wu back, he asked Su Ming to watch the internal screening first, and he must have hoped that he would give some advice.
Before leaving, the film critic just now became a little fool again.
"Mr. Su, I will leave after living in the company for three days at most, and I will definitely find a house within a week, if I haven't left in half a month, I will admit ...... if you fire me."
Su Ming rolled his eyes, how many days has it been? Does this fool have a sense of time?
"Forget it, you can live if you like it, don't sleep at the front desk at night, go to the small screening room and sleep with the air conditioner on, save yourself from illness. If you can't handle the matter of renting a house by yourself, you can make a report and ask the company assistant to help. Su Ming said helplessly.
Xin Linli's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Su, you are really a good person, so handsome!" ”
Su Ming was in a better mood, and suddenly looked up at the large photo of himself hanging on the wall, and was speechless again.
……
Early the next morning, Su Ming called Long Wu.
"Brother Ten, I've seen the film." Su Ming said.
On the other end of the phone, Long Wu smiled: "Do you feel baa?" Isn't it good to see the explosion? ”
Su Ming was silent for a second or two, and said, "Brother Ten, we are friends and partners, right?" ”
Long Wudao: "Good and decent, why do you say that?" Yes, of course. ”
"Then friends should be honest, right?" Su Ming also smiled.
Long Wu was also silent for two or three seconds, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"I know you're going to say baa, are you going to tell me that this is a big bad movie?" Long Wu asked.
"Actually, there's a lot to be desired......
Su Ming tried his best to think about the wording, it was not that he was afraid that Long Wu would not dare to offend him, but because this film was a father's dedication to his son, and Su Ming didn't want to hurt this father too directly.
The content of yesterday's conversation with Xin Linli, pick a part, and tell Long Wu to be tactful.
Unexpectedly, without waiting for Su Ming to start speaking, Long Wu said: "Don't worry, I also make movies, and I made my own movies, whether it's good or not, how can I not know?" I invited a group of industry experts, oh, and Wang Jin, who has already screened two screenings internally, and I want to hear everyone's suggestions, but the results are all bad reviews, big bad movies. The company and mainland professionals have predicted that it is difficult for the total box office to exceed 500 million, and if there are three or four hundred million, the cost recovery will already be able to wake up with a smile. I'm not afraid of your jokes, my wife has been shopping desperately in anger these days, and she has maxed out several cards. ”
Hearing Long Wu say this, Su Ming admired this former Xiangjiang bigwig, he could afford to put it down, and look at the situation with a smile, this is a truly open-minded life.
"Brother Ten, then I won't say much, in short, if there is anything I can do, I must do my best." Su Ming said.
"Although your company has only released one movie, the word-of-mouth box office is very good." Long Wu said: "So, I want to hear it, what advice do you have?" Now that the movie has not been officially promoted, if there is a chance, I can more or less make some remedies, don't let me lose too badly, and leave some hope for the left. ”
Su Ming thought to himself, big guy, you really love your son, it's all about this, and you are still going to let Xiang Zuo develop on the road of acting?
"I said he was my boy, and if he showed me that he was working hard enough, I would give him three chances. It was the first time, and I didn't want him to despair the first time. Long Wu said in a deep voice.
"Well, Brother Ten, I'll gather my subordinates to discuss it now and call you tomorrow. But now, the movies have been filmed and scheduled, and if you want to make up for it, it is estimated that there is little hope. Su Ming said.
"I understand, everybody do your best. But to do their best, each according to the destiny of heaven. Long Wu said.
Su Ming hung up the phone and went to the film company again.
The so-called 'subordinates', in fact, there is only one Xin Linli, Cai Liming and Li Wanting are both abroad, and Cai Liming's strength lies in distribution and management, and Li Wanting's strength lies in communication, just from the perspective of film criticism, at present, they are not as good as Xin Linli.
I don't know if she has any suggestions. (To be continued.) )
