Chapter 84: Word of Mouth

Sometimes, I really miss the golden age of Hong Kong movies!

I heard that the streets and alleys there are crews, directors and screenwriters can be seen everywhere, and there are group performances with movie dreams everywhere, the director does not write a script, a few scene outlines can be started, and more than a dozen people dare to make movies, like New York in the golden age of American short stories in the sixties and seventies, a pen and a few pieces of paper and a rental house can write a magnificent world that will amaze future generations, like the Chinese literary scene during the Republic of China...

Although a lot of bad movies have been produced, there are also enough classics left!

In a village near Xiangshan, "The Judge of the Dead" is being filmed.

Wei Xiang and Huang Xiaolei were busy folding paper money...

Wei Xiang plays Ah Fu, and Huang Xiaolei is the wet nurse.

These two are already signed actors of Bai Xiaofei's film studio!

Wei Xiang, needless to say, Huang Xiaolei is actually a very good comedy actress, she can let go, but unfortunately, there have been no good opportunities...

"Hey, we've all twelve dead!"

"It's all your fault, what are you not doing well, do you have to be a master? For the sake of money, help others fight lawsuits! You're so damaging to yin morality! Don't think I don't know, every time you come back after a lawsuit, you'll cry! “

"Collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others is what a master should do! Heaven and earth conscience, when have I ever cried? ”

"Seal the pen and pull it, husband!"

"Seal the pen?"

Xiaobai grabbed Tong Li's right hand and flicked his cuffs: "Sealed the pen, how can there be so many gold rings, gold earrings, and gold necklaces?" ”

“… Big deal, I don't... I don't want one! I just want my son to be safe! ”

The camera is given to a big fat doll with a tiger head and a tiger brain...

"Hey, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, how easy is it to seal the pen?"

"Learn to do business, husband! Zhang San on the street made a fortune at the end of last year! ”

"However, Li Si on the street lost a lot of money this year and hanged himself!"

"Good! It's over! ”

The executive director was very satisfied and shouted directly.

"Let's rest, half an hour later, continue shooting!"

……

"Boss, our movie box office has broken 500 million!"

“… It's just a great beginning, and it's definitely not as good as "Tang Bohu"..."

"However, many experts are saying that this is a movie that can be written in film history!"

"Really? Let me see! ”

"The whole society collectively voyeurism: psychologists have many studies that people have a desire to voyeurize, and want to know what is the real living condition of people if the packaging is removed under the external social norms? However, everyone has a lot of privacy, voyeurism - let us see the truth and secrets, or in the embarrassment of others, get a kind of comfort that inhibits others, or under the positive energy of others, get an example, strengthen the strength of our own hearts, or in a situation similar to ourselves, get a sense of existence that I am not lonely... Knowing the privacy of others can often give people some kind of psychological satisfaction.

This movie is exploring the voyeurism of the whole society, "The Truman Show" is more attractive than all dramas and all kinds of programs, becoming the spiritual food for the masses, creating high ratings, and bringing huge benefits, which is a common evil in society, and it also allows Truman to live in a designed life since birth, everything is an arranged plot, including his parents, friends, wife... They are just actors who accompany him in the act, and the story maximizes human voyeurism, so as to explore: you have a strong desire to know the real state of existence, and I have the right to defend the protection of personal privacy.

If you have a choice, everyone wants a life of freedom, truth, dignity and privacy. So, congratulations to Truman, at the end of the story, finding the door to the real world on the canopy at the end of the sea.

I heard that the director designed four different endings, and finally succumbed to the market and chose a seemingly happy ending, which is a bit regrettable, if he chooses the first ending: Truman's film comes to an abrupt end at the moment when the ship hits the wall, there is no door and no outside world, that deep despair can raise the film to a higher level, and it completely becomes a tragedy. It's a pity that Bai Xiaofei himself is unwilling to throw away his inner thoughts for the so-called film art! ”

- Zhou Liming.

"Zhou Liming is my fan, no matter how I shoot, he can accept it! Who else are the experts? ”

"Dai Jinghua's comment..."

"Yo, I'll take a look!"

"Excellent creativity but too unreal, I have to admire to have such a crazy idea, but this is very absurd in reality, it must be hundreds of times more difficult than what the film shows to make such a reality show! The suspense effect of the film is deliberately weakened in order to highlight the impact of the changes in the expressions of the characters outside the TV and the behavior of the producer on the male lead, so that coupled with the slightly exaggerated performances of the actors, it is more like a comedy. In fact, this film shows the courage to explore, the spirit of daring to get rid of the shackles around us and pursue freedom. Worthy of the Palme d'Or, director Bai Xiaofei is indeed the best director in the young area, I haven't seen a film like this one that plays the narrative so vividly for a long time, and his performance is also appropriate and appropriate. Bai Xiaofei said that Lu Xun is his idol, I think it's very right, "Truman's World" is a bit similar to "Diary of a Madman", revealing cannibalism between the lines! “

“… Alas, should I post a Weibo thanks? ”

Suddenly praised and so unaccustomed ...

"Sister Zhong means, it's best to thank you, Teacher Dai is still very respectable!"

"I know what to do!"

……

As expected, "Truman's World" almost crushed "A Good Show"...

Of course, this crushing refers to the box office, not the press release and marketing!

After the latter was released, the marketing and press release felt like they were dying, and a random search was 'interpreting "A Good Show"", "Do you really understand "A Good Show"?', "A Good Show" that makes people think carefully and be extremely scary"

In addition, as long as it is said that this drama is not good, it is considered a water army!

'Anyone who says that this movie is not good, you will be asked if you don't have enough IQ, you can't understand it, right? I really wondered, what is there about such a shallow thing that I can't understand? He wants to express too much, but instead makes everything blunt and superficial, ignoring a lot of logical concatenation, is there a problem with me being so objective? ’

I always feel that some people can see a sense of superiority when they watch a movie! ’

No, when a movie is made, there must be people who like it and some people who don't like it, why do others say they don't like it?

However, "Truman's World" has a bunch of black fans, and directly evaluates 'garbage, up to three points!' Or what's the point, 'It's a far cry compared to "A Good Show"! ’

The Douban score has also been pulled to 9.2 points...

Obviously, this is an encounter with a water army!

This is normal, and the malicious smear of hiring a water army is itself the norm in the industry...

On the second day of its release, "Truman's World" received 330 million in a single day, and at the same time, the North American box office was released, with $3.2 million on the first day, ranking fifth on the list, which is not bad, after all, there are only 2,200 theaters that have opened the picture!

With an IMDb score of 8.4 points, Xiaobai has confidence.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after the filming of "The Judge of the Dead", he wrote a Weibo: Actor and director!
