Chapter 980: Movies, let's pursue good looks first

Ang Lee doesn't think he's lucky, he feels that today's Chinese films are very lucky, there is such a person who is really willing to pay more for the movie, and he still has the ability and desire to drive more people to develop the film career. "Words * love * first * hair

Why should movies be divided into art films and commercial films, in fact, there is no need at all, the only purpose of movies is to spread the good-looking stories that the public wants, and everything else is to put gold on their faces, and some so-called academic people are tough on themselves to wear red silk.

A movie that doesn't hit the box is mysterious, it's an art film? At the beginning, it was nothing more than the reasons that some people found for their movies to be unattractive and not accepted by the audience, but later some directors with insufficient strength had to make a film that no one could understand, and it seemed that if they didn't do so, they would not be considered an art film director.

Ang Lee doesn't like to scold people, but for this phenomenon, to be honest, he hates it deeply, you can just disgust yourself, and splash dirty water on the blockbuster, saying that he only cares about special effects shots, only cares about funny, only cares about big scenes, and the story has no connotation.

What connotation is not connotation, you have to compress a thing that takes three minutes to explain to one minute, and the master will use various props in the picture, lines and actors' performances to make the disappearing two minutes pregnant in it, and the audience can interpret the content of these three minutes as long as they watch it carefully. There is another type of people, who are really compressed, who think that the story is tightly paced and the story is mysterious, but in fact, everyone really can't understand it, you make some suspense, but you can't find the answer in the content of the movie itself, excuse me, what are you shooting? This is called an art film.

A good film should have many characteristics, and it can be said that this film is a film that makes people think. Mixed with some good-looking footage; It can also be that this film is to show special effects, so the story is simpler, such as why Transformers successfully reads(); Cherish life and stay away from cups. His focus isn't on the story, but you can tell. Is the story of the Transformers incomplete? The audience can't read it?

The ultimate purpose of making a movie is to make the audience look good, not just for a group of people who have nothing to do and sit at home and study what film art is.

Guo Degang has a good saying, but his words are not rough.

Cross talk, let's be funny first, if it's not funny, it will be too funny.

Movie. It's better to look good first, if it's not good, is it still a movie?

In the current model, in addition to those blockbusters that focus on the sense of picture, some people dare to invest, more and more films that focus on the story, let's call the script of an art film, no one invests, and all of them are small productions and small costs, we are the story first, but we also need to invest, steal investment in order to carve well in the details, in order to make a story-based film bloom his brilliance.

Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Broken-Back-Mountain". Including the later Youth School, it is very good to do this, so that the audience can enjoy watching it. can also make this film very artistic, so he can become a leader among Chinese directors and a Hollywood first-line director.

Seeing that Yang Yichen was sincerely willing to take money for a good script, without thinking about whether this type of movie made money, for this alone, he felt that it was worth it for him to sign a contract with the brother group, and even planned to change the way of signing several drama contracts to really cooperate with the brother group.

"Good. Then we'll get the script out now, and you might have to push off some activities again. Because you are the soul of the play, you have to be involved in all the processes. Understand the innermost thoughts of each character, and then feed back to your own role, the real formation of the script, I think it is necessary for all the actors to be in place first, at least most of them are in place, we set up a crew, and then refine the script, the character portrayal in you, also needs certain changes, including the screenwriter, I want him to appear in the crew, not just sell the script to us. โ€

Ang Lee, don't look at the quality of the text, really do things, the demeanor of a big director is full, Yang Yichen gave him a promise, he is not hypocritical, don't look at this is a story movie with the protagonist's sight as the axis, but it can be seen from the script that there are still a considerable number of pictures and small passages that match the plot, which is very attractive to the audience, and this film looks abusive, but in fact, the picture presented in Ang Lee's mind, he has this confidence, this film must be very good-looking, if it can achieve the desired effect, Everyone sees abuse first, and then you see cool, because at the end of this film, you will find that you can't define whether the actor is righteous or evil-evil, he is a person who follows his heart, and he is a character who can ignite the evil-evil flame in the audience's heart, compared to the pure evil-evil in the clown, the male protagonist in "Road" is an ordinary person who is in the self-only state of transformation against reality, you can call it the evil-evil of outsiders, but you must also admit that he is righteous to himself, if he does not resist, That is the one who destroys miรจ, in that case, is it justice? Is it good?

This is a very exciting story, and it also has a script that makes people reflect, it has a lot of things for people to reflect, but according to Ang Lee's in-depth understanding of the script in the past seven days and the shooting pictures outlined in my mind, the picture of this play is wonderful and attractive enough, the plot will hold the hearts of the audience, the revision of the script should not take too much effort, all the difficulties are eighty percent on the actors, two percent on their own directors, and most of the burden on the actors is on the absolute core role of Yang Yichen.

It can be said that Yang Yichen is in this play, more than eighty percent of the scenes, there are his figures, and his role is also the most difficult, such a script against the sky feels like he was tailor-made for himself, it is difficult to imagine what kind of guy he is, in order to make such a script, if this script is voted to the eight major film companies, it is estimated that the first level will be passed, which is completely inconsistent with the basic logic of the movie, the description of the actor in the script, a large paragraph of text, but in fact forms the picture in the movie, maybe just a shot, a few seconds, what needs to be shown in this large paragraph of text, all have to be shown reads(); Left and right!!ใ€‚

The director can digest part of the content of this large paragraph of text through the other dark lines in the picture and the foreshadowing before and after, but it is more up to the actors to express it.

Let's just say that this script, if you don't consider that the actors are at least at the level of regional actors, then this script is a whimsical script, which does not have any commercial value, nor does it have the conditions for the start of art films.

"No problem."

Say move and move, this lunch, the two of them ate quickly, and then began to be in this office, the two began to outline the actors according to the role, a movie where eighty percent of the scenes are male protagonists, in fact, it is not very assigned roles and cameos, and it is difficult to define these two, many more important roles, the actual scenes are not much more than cameos, how to gather such a group of people, first of all, not to call someone, nor to write who, but where to set this play?

The story is a story that can be set in both the East and the West, but more or less the feeling of the West is stronger, Ang Lee's adapted script, in fact, Yang Yichen also saw it, and the director's meaning was also very clear, so when Yang Yichen made a phone call to the screenwriter in the afternoon, he said to Ang Lee with a smile: "Director, I'm not familiar with Hollywood actors, you come to find it, even if I am willing to pay for more than 10 million, people may not be willing to come, and if it is below 10 million, you can choose, the salary is subject to your will, you can give as much as you say." , the premise is that let them come to Yanjing first, here, we will set up the crew and thoroughly understand the script. โ€

Ang Lee nodded, it felt very comfortable to work with an investor and male number one who understands your thoughts and can respect your director's authority in the crew, and even Ang Lee had such a thought in his heart: "It would be great if I could work with him all the time." โ€

He even believes that many directors who have worked with Yang Yichen must have similar ideas as himself.

However, when the screenwriter appeared in Yang Yichen's office at night, Li An was stunned and shook his head secretly, who can achieve Yang Yichen's position, who is simple, no wonder he is so confident, he treats movies with a pure heart, outside the movie, people are also shopping mall tycoons who kill and decide.

Although Ang Lee is not much in Xiangjiang, he also knows that a few years ago, there was a standard-bearer-like guy who carried the banner of professional black Yang for 30 years, and he was also a very well-known figure on the road of opposing Yang Yichen.

Ye Chaoda, who used to be the strictest guy in Xiangjiang Heiyang Yichen, although he rarely opened his mouth in recent years, he has not forgotten his original intention, and has always fought on the front line, he turned out to be the screenwriter of "Road".

Sure enough, the person who knows you best is often your enemy, Ye Chaoda understands that Yang Yichen specially tailored a movie for him, and the level is indeed high, but whether they are enemies or not is a matter of two words, looking at Ye Chaoda's respectful appearance after he came in, maybe he was already Yang Yichen's subordinate many years ago.

Li Anduo is smart, think back to the position Ye Chaoda played in the process of blackening Yang Yichen in large quantities in the past two years, he was the opposite of Yang Yichen before, and then he was completely the one who secretly added fuel to the fire, it seems that he is waving the flag and shouting to the bottom of Yang Yichen's ****, and it is estimated that he has long known the counterattack means here, and he will bring everyone into the ditch there.

High, really high.

If Yang Yichen cultivates a group of people who help him speak, each of them has an identity and status, in fact, it is not as good as having such a guy as Ye Chaoda in secret, standing on the opposite side of you, knowing your counterattack methods early, and leading those sunspots to the area where your counterattack methods are the most ruthless, no wonder the sunspots have been beaten with a lot of bags in the past two years, and they don't dare to come out Black Yang Yichen.
