Chapter 1171: "Dream Broken Bridge"
Yang Yichen thought for a while and nodded: "Smith, you know my habits, it's okay to cooperate, we can back down a little in some aspects, but we can't back down in any place, you should be clear, if they accept not to point fingers, you can talk." ”
Smith nodded slightly with a little bit of anger, he was afraid that the boss who was not short of money would be addicted to winning awards, and he was already lacking interest in pure commercial blockbusters, if he really put all his interest in challenging the role, he had no choice but to watch.
The most capricious thing about Yang Yichen is that his overall business is too successful now, so that he has a lot of capital to choose and conditions that can be willful, what if he doesn't make commercial films, I don't like it myself, it doesn't mean that I don't invest, the money I earn is enough for me to be willful, so why bother to do what I don't like to do.
"No problem, what kind of temper our company has, the outside also knows it, and it took the initiative to find it, so it is ready to comply with us."
Smith is still very calm, the boss agreed, everything will be easy to do, Columbia Pictures, everything can be discussed, to see what killer feature Harvey has come up with this time, what kind of excellent film it has to be for him to come over in person, but to see how good it is.
Although Harvey says that he is an independent film, his unique vision is not only to watch independent movies, the script and creativity that Smith came up with before are very good, the key is to see how effective the special performance is, whether the drama can be brilliant, and the need for a good name to listen to and remember.
"This script is in perfect condition, the actor wins 90% of the awards, and the chance of winning the award is 30% when he encounters a young year's movie." Harvey has no superfluous nonsense, he has that confidence, Yang Yichen sees this script, he must not be able to refuse, good scripts are rare, you can see from the script that the movie will win awards, but you can see whether the actors can win awards, after you have an idea in your mind that an actor can play this role, those who are experienced can judge whether the actor has a chance to win the award.
Harvey is very confident in his script, the only thing he lacks confidence in is that Yang Yichen is always challenging himself, and this is another script that is also a brilliant actor, will he still be eye-catching, will he want to play bigger, such as "Road" must not meet Yang Yichen's ambitions, although it won the best picture at the Oscars, but everyone who is familiar with Yang Yichen knows that he does not recognize the value of this film in his heart, not only the people next to him, There are even more of his own hard requirements for himself, if he wants to win the award, everyone will have nothing to say and no refutation.
Seeing Smith's success, he also had a bottom in his heart, how can there be so many great classic movies in the world, and now it has entered the peak period of world film commercial films, and every year the competition for various technical awards is becoming more and more intense, but everyone's recognition of them is still not high, no way, one year after another, the movies that have won the best picture for several years have not been recognized by most people, "Road" is not bad, although it is not as good as " Slumdog Millionaire", but all aspects add up, many people still recognize the fairness of the Oscars this time, and feel that giving the best picture to "Road" is also an attempt, trying to get more filmmakers to develop more value of the film, instead of me simply brushing the audience's attention for the box office, and giving up something in order to win the award to enhance the so-called artistic value.
Although "Road" seems to be mediocre, the mediocrity is that everyone is in a good state in all aspects, and then the actors' performances are in a very peak state, and the overall pull, the box office is unexpectedly fierce, and it is logical to win the award.
""Dream Broken Bridge", the name is quite fierce." Yang Yichen read out the name of the script. Harvey is very serious in the face of creation, and Zhengse introduced: "In layman's terms, a love story of an unlucky egg, and this love is still what he thinks, the woman he loves deeply, between material and love, chooses material, and this unlucky man's life is tangled, melancholy, and crazy to sink ......"
Yang Yichen listened very carefully, did not answer, and looked at the script casually, this broken bridge is the only way for the hero and heroine to go out in their hometown, a broken bridge, and the whole play, no wonder there is no one in his memory, it should be that no one pays attention to the script at all, and no one invests in making it at all, a movie that is so sadistic, with the aesthetic views and pursuits of the current audience, which film investor is willing to invest in a movie that constantly abuses the hero, this "Dream Broken Bridge" It's simply a pure poor D silk half-life unlucky stupid lack of abuse and self-satisfaction to maintain a beautiful fantasy of the sadistic masterpiece, if you look at it from the perspective of the hero, it is guaranteed that you will be abused, don't want it, in the film market that everyone knows and is familiar with, the protagonist is the first point of view, and it is the first object that everyone substitutes, if you get such a guy, the audience will not accept it at all.
Think about the very stupid "Forrest Gump", people Forrest Gump is also a stupid person with stupid blessings, and he doesn't need to explain his tough life to anyone, and he perfectly cuts into the major events of history, which also makes the audience look very cool, and feels that such a stupid melon from the first perspective is also very good, people's insistence on other people's beliefs is well-founded, if you can be such a person, you will have no regrets in your life.
But what about the hero of "Dream Broken Bridge", he just has a good skin, but in an era of materialism-desire-horizontal-flow, his not good skin can't be eaten, and after the whole play, he was abused by his girlfriend, money, his girlfriend's husband, and the real society......
"Harvey, are you crazy? There will be no market for such a film, even if you transfer your perspective to the heroine and let everyone watch the movie from her point of view, a woman who betrays her innocent love and waits for your man is not pleasing. I really don't know what you think, such a script should be thrown directly into the trash, and the actor award and the movie award should be returned, and when it comes out, it will be scolded by the audience who entered the movie theater under the name of Yang Yichen and is nothing. "Smith has a little hideous roar, movies can be miserable and tragic, but so put the protagonist in a state of complete abuse, not to mention being unpopular, all the audience will spray you like a dog, every audience will have a protagonist plot when watching film and television dramas and novels, and will naturally substitute themselves into their identity, you set the protagonist like this, and you will fail without filming.
Harvey spread his hands: "This film, I don't expect to have a box office." The implication is that they are rushing to win awards, even if they are scolded dogs, at least in terms of artistic value, they can be recognized.
The two of them were chatting energetically, but Yang Yichen was silent over there, originally read the script a little casually, but now he watched it very seriously, with relish, so that Harvey and Smith directly chose to keep their mouths shut, it would be superfluous for the two of them to say anything, whether the script was filmed or not, what kind of attitude and intensity to shoot, this depends on what Yang Yichen said, he can be interested, which is an attitude in itself.
If he can read it, it proves that this script is good in his eyes, and the more he watches it, the more it proves that he attaches great importance to this script.
Harvey lit a cigar and raised his chin at Smith, it stands to reason that as a partner of an independent film fund, a film shot below 10 million level, he doesn't need to run to Yang Yichen to report to him at all, he can call the shots, a Hollywood boss like him, it's not even that he doesn't have this power, he just respects Yang Yichen, he just thinks this subject is very interesting, and now it is not accepted, it doesn't mean that it can't become a logo, it can't become a signal of the times.
As a professional filmmaker, although he doesn't dare to say that he has a unique vision, but he has also been in the circle for so many years, he doesn't think that his vision is higher than Harvey and Yang Yichen, he just can't figure out where the gap is, is this movie really so good, why can't he see a little selling point? Even if it is a pure art film, this film seems too extreme, it does not give the protagonist a remote gloom, but gives him an extreme life, is it feasible? Can the audience really accept it? What kind of director does it take to control such a film?
In fact, when Yang Yichen read a few pages of this script, he would think of a novel with color in his mind, X heart is like a knife, that is called a abuse, the first perspective, complete abuse, if you follow the perspective of watching film and television novels normally, this kind of abuse cannot have a market at all, and you have to be scolded to death if you come up, although this novel has the advantage of color, but Yang Yichen and many old bookworms who are soaking on the Internet have talked about it when chatting, the reason why this novel is very popular, the description of some of the pictures is on the one hand, about the transformation of psychologyOf course, no one will admit this kind of thing, but in private, this kind of abusive subject, a little bit different from the traditional one, will be recognized.
I'm hard enough-forced-, I want to see more bitter-forced-, for so many years, the male protagonists I've seen are all cow lightning adventures, everyone's sense of substitution is super strong, I feel like I'm the hero, it's cool to watch, but in today's social pressure is getting bigger and bigger, survival is getting harder and harder, the audience who is used to eating a taste, needs new things, always looks at the tall cow breaking lightning, why can't we see what is not as good as ours, maybe it will be more refreshing, worry about it, at least after reading it, We will feel that our life is hard and hard, the future is bright, and we are still comfortable living.
