Chapter 306: Make a movie with the theme of "Journey to the West".
The temperament type of Tang Seng and the four apprentices can be said to fit exactly the four temperament types mentioned in the Western tradition, so many teachers like to use the examples of these four people in the management class to explain that Tang Seng has never said to give up at any time, no matter what difficulties and obstacles encountered, no matter what temptations are encountered, perseverance, self-discipline, and depression. Sun Wukong Wu is emotional, capable, creative, and choleric. Zhu Bajie people always bring fun to the team, a master of interpersonal relationships, energetic, humorous, good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and belong to the multi-blood type from the perspective of temperament type. Sha Seng is diligent, hard-working, loyal and reliable, and belongs to mucus.
Mucous and depressive qualities are similar, Lu Zhuhu often can't remember clearly, and when it comes to exams, he often chooses between two dice-so he later felt that it was better for him to have a clear science and engineering subject, just like when he played football, he also liked to play straight and hard. Save yourself the hassle.
As a result, today I am temporarily cramming, and I am talking nonsense, but it is very different.
It's just that the example he gave is a bit deliberately confusing, if you take "Dream of Red Mansions" as an example, you can still say that one is Jia Baoyu (choleric nature) and the other is Lin Daiyu (depressive nature)!
The other elders all felt that Lu Zhuhu said it very well, and Ye Laopang suspected that the daughter of the Mo family might not be suitable to be his daughter-in-law, but Ye Gongzi was still dissatisfied with Lu Zhuhu's words: "But you can also see that if these two people don't cooperate and complement each other on the way to learn the scriptures, how can they get the true scriptures!" ”
"You also said that it was to learn from the scriptures, and the matter between you and Miss Mo is not for the two of you to go to learn the scriptures together! Young man, marriage and career are two different things, I have seen a lot, and the doorway inside is deep......" Lu Zhuhu looked more and more emotional, and brought the building more and more crookedly. The skills of messing around and attacking the west were all learned from Brother Da Long, and now it seems that there are some "true legends".
Lu Zhuhu's constant change of concept made Ye Gongzi completely angry, and he almost slapped the table: "You just avoid the important and take it lightly, and divert your attention - I can read "Journey to the West" well, I don't understand anything!" The example is just to show what two people are like, and I agree that what you said is a bit similar, but you always say that monkeys and monks, monkeys and monks don't get married and do our! Jinhua and I are both in business, each other's capital, each other's abilities-" As he spoke, his voice weakened, so obviously talking about the property of the two, and bluntly talking about the reason for the marriage, it seems that it is indeed bad and explicit, and he is also a little out of shape after he is anxious.
Even Mr. Big, who was quite satisfied with Ye Gongzi at the beginning, was a little uncomfortable listening to it.
Ye Laopang is still very experienced, and hurriedly stopped his son's nonsense: "Let's just say that this "Journey to the West" is indeed a good book, we all liked to read it when we were children, but when we grow up, we will read it again, and it will have a different taste......
Everyone nodded again and again, expressing their "deep feelings". Lu Zhuhu saw that he was stirring up, and somehow succeeded in transferring "Do Not Disturb If You Are Honest" to "Monkey Monk", and he was very proud. Over there, Miss Mo also took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and secretly gave him a thumbs up. Lu Zhuhu ha, now you have to admit that your Uncle Lu has the ability. Turning his head to see that Xiaohua was not disturbed by the wonderful psychological analysis he had just made, he continued to gnaw on the pig's trotters, and scolded: "Damn, you are really a bloody ...... of Zhu Bajie."
"No," Xiaohua said lightly: "I am now Lin Daiyu's depressive ......"
Lu Zhuhu: "......"
Talking about literary masterpieces, Mr. Big and Ambassador Cheng were involved, and after Ye Gongzi was silent for a while, it is estimated that everyone didn't do anything about his gaffe just now, and began to interject again, showing off how profound his research on Chinese culture was, and gradually returning himself to the active position.
"I think now, these good things left by my ancestors can't be bad, I have to let him live, how to get it, it must be to keep pace with the times, combine them with these new things now, and make them acceptable to the public, a friend contacted me before, and wanted me to make music for his "Journey to the West" movie......"
Many of you here received enlightenment education in the early Qing Dynasty, and they still have a high degree of recognition of the old-fashioned views. In this paragraph, Ye Gongzi showed his literary accomplishment and musical literacy, and finally showed his shining point again and repaired his previous image.
Although she is not very interested in Ye Gongzi, and she doesn't seem to be very cold from the eldest lady's approach, she is still a little interested in making a movie for "Journey to the West". Like when they were young, who didn't grow up watching the 86 version of "Journey to the West"? To say that in terms of using Journey to the West IP, the Chinese are very good at it, the "Journey to the West" drama rehearsed with various props during the Qianlong Dynasty is grand and wonderful, and after the movie appeared, the Chinese were not reconciled, and many movies with the theme of Journey to the West were made in the twenties of the twentieth century, such as the earliest "Journey to the West" film and television works, released in 1926 "Sun Xinger vs. Money Leopard", directed by Shao Drunken Weng and Gu Kenfu, starring superactress Hu Die. The theme of that movie was nothing more than fighting, killing and strange power, but who made the common people love to watch it the most, and even exported it to Europe to sell it for money...... It didn't take long, and in April (2014), Lu Zhuhu had just noticed a news about an old Journey to the West movie during the Republic of China......
But in the era of Lu Zhuhu's life, Chinese's imagination seems to be lacking, and he can only always fry cold rice from "Journey to the West", countless film and television works are adapted every year, and it is common for more than ten Journey to the West-themed movies to be established a year......
Listening to Ye Gongzi's meaning, is he also a trendsetter in the first wave of "Journey to the West" movie boom?
Hehe, it doesn't look like Ye Gongzi is particularly boring......
"Shu Hongxian's nephew is a musician, and he is proficient in both folk music and Western musical instruments, and he studied under the famous French composer Paul Ducasse......
There are still those present who are good with the Ye family, and it is rare to have a place to highlight his talent, so naturally he should focus on praise!
"Shame! Ashamed! Uncle Zhang praised it falsely, Shuhong didn't dare to be it! "Ye Gongzi knows how to be humble at this time. Isn't it, his sign is still very hard.
This made Lu Zhuhu also a little surprised: Ouch! Paul Ducasse! This name seems to be a little familiar, either Xian Xinghai or Nie Er, it seems to be a very bullish character, so looking at it, it is not unreasonable to say that Ye Gongzi is very good.
As a result, what Ye Gongzi said next made Lu Zhuhu almost burst out laughing-
"It's a pity, the first two years to play that "Burning Red Lotus Temple", it was really too popular, 18 episodes were filmed in a row in three years, and the government's Film Censorship Board ordered a ban on all movies that promote strange powers and chaos, and I am afraid that I will not be allowed to make movies with the theme of "Journey to ......the West" in the future."
Lu Zhuhu secretly couldn't help laughing: It turns out that you also have "radio and television"!
Most of the people here have been in the business world for many years, and they all know about making money from movies at this time, and they have all set foot in it, and they all feel very sorry: "How can "Journey to the West" be a strange force, and the classical masterpieces should be no hindrance!" - Ambassador Cheng, do you say yes, I hope you can help reflect on it......"
Another said: "It's okay! Although filming is not allowed in China for the time being, it is the same when you go to Hong Kong to shoot! ”
Lu Zhuhu almost laughed again: You also have a trick to "the mainland does not walk Hong Kong" in your feelings......
"I think so too, but the problem is ......" Ye Shuhong shook his head again and again: "Hong Kong is filmed, in the past two years, sound movies have gradually become popular in China, compared to the silent film era, the soundtrack is not the most important aspect, and the money to polish the pen is not appropriate, so it has been shelved......"
"Poof!" Lu Zhuhu really laughed out loud now, and hurriedly covered his mouth, feeling that you haven't done anything for a long time, so what's the matter!
But if Ye Gongzi's luck is enough to carry it, what will be the end of it...... I wanted to find a partner, but I was mixed up by Lu......
Someone excused Ye Lao Fat and his son: "If you want to say that your Brother Ye has made a lot of efforts to spread the culture of my nation to Europa, if it weren't for your Lao Ye, I am afraid that it would be difficult for foreigners to see these wonderful movies shot in our country today......
Well? Ye Laopang still sells movies in Europe? No wonder this father and son are always talking about this topic, feelings are the business......
"Hey, that is, to see the foreigners also want to be fresh, and by the way, I also introduce the culture of my country. Speaking of Journey to the West, I have made "Sun Xingzhi Havoc in Black Wind Mountain" in France before, and I have made "Pansi Cave", and I have also let it go here...... "Ye Lao Fat Man looks pretty good, talking about his contribution to the spread of Chinese culture.
Lu Zhuhu was eating vermicelli, almost out of his nostrils, and said a little incredulously: "Wait-you just said that you just said that you got the movie "Pansi Cave" ...... you brought it to Europe to show it?" ”
"That's right!" Ye Lao Pang didn't know why Lu Zhuhu reacted so much.
Because Lu Zhuhu saw the movie on the news before, it seems to be this "Pansi Cave"!
"Do you remember which country you got it into?"
"Norway, like, I was over there at the time......"
As soon as Ye Lao Pang said it, Lu Zhuhu felt that eight or nine were not far from ten, it seemed that it was really a coincidence! If you want to say that the movie "Pansi Cave" is not particularly outstanding at this time, it is indeed a legend!
This movie is very different from the general shoddy gods and monster movies of the year, according to records, only the costume of the spider spirit invested "thousands of gold, and the monkey soldiers of Sun Xingzhi's change, need more than 500 sets of costumes, and also prepare them one by one, this cost, that is, five yuan per shot, has been more than 2,500 gold", according to the standards of later generations, this is a super big production! The plot is naturally a section of "Journey to the West": the spider spirits tempted Tang Seng and forced them to get married, plus Zhu Bajie, who peeked at the spider spirits taking a bath, turned into a fish and jumped into the water......
But the highlight of this movie is ......
Super Niucha's photography technology, in order to shoot the lens of Zhu Bajie going into the water to see the spider spirit, even used underwater photography. In order to enhance the excitement of the film, animal actors such as turtles, rabbits and even eagles were also used. The director based on the plot of Monkey King turning into an eagle and stealing the clothes of the spider spirit in the original book, "with dozens of days of training, tame a wild eagle". In the film, the eagle really grabbed the clothes and flew up according to the director's orders, but the price was tragic - the eagle never returned, and threw the clothes he grabbed into the toilet...... even used Ultraman-like special effects technology to shoot the Monkey King shrunk into a cup......
In the future, this is simply a conscience, and it can't be more conscientious, okay!
But what shocked Lu Zhuhu even more was the large scale of this movie, and he couldn't even believe that this was a movie from the twenties - after reading the stills......
The spider spirit wore suspender pajamas to tempt Tang Seng, and even had a Qi B short skirt...... Even the male goblins wore very little, you know, until the Journey to the West in 86, many actresses did not dare to show their skin, and the shots of the seven spider spirits leaking their navels were all taken by male actors......
Even more exaggerated...... There may also be dew and dot shots inside......
At this time, you can imagine!
These bold and advanced clothing shapes caused an uproar in conservative China at the time. The feudal defenders used what kind of obscenity and theft, absurdity, betrayal of hue, etc., sprayed this movie, but the common people really love to watch it, as soon as "Pansi Cave" came out, it caused a situation of thousands of empty alleys in Shanghai, and the box office was unprecedentedly hot, and Southeast Asia also rushed to order copies - the film credits list listed a special subtitle "translator", which shows that overseas distribution was taken into account when filming. According to the records of director Du Yu's friends, this film made Shanghai Film and Drama Company a profit of up to 50,000 silver dollars!
This was a high box office at the time!
However, in 1930, because of its similarity with the promotion of feudal superstitions such as "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple", "Pansi Cave" was also banned. Later, the film was lost in China, and for many years this film, like other popular monster movies at that time, was only mentioned in the history of cinema, but fortunately it was released overseas that year, and it was not until 2012 that a copy of this movie was found in Norway, so the earliest Journey to the West-related movies were rediscovered. The National Library of Norway spent more than two months restoring the film, which was being screened for the first time in more than 80 years, on the occasion of the Southern Film Festival in Oslo, Norway. During the screening, a Norwegian pianist accompanied the whole process, and the Norwegian Film Academy auditorium erupted in laughter from time to time, and relevant scholars specializing in Chinese film history introduced the historical background of the development of early Chinese cinema, the significance of the discovery of "Pansi Cave", and the creation of the film by the film's director Dan Du Yu and the star Yin Mingzhu - all of which surprised Western audiences that Chinese made such a trendy film nearly a hundred years ago (and it was only one of many films at that time...... )
After that, the country rediscovered that what we had lost for a long time was still there, so it was "imported" from Norway......
Of course, except for Lu Zhuhu, everyone else doesn't know the fork of this movie, and there are no more than 10 early Chinese silent films in existence!
What was considered dross at this time, only Lu Zhuhu knew how remarkable it was that they existed in this age of barrenness and hunger!
Therefore, although he didn't have much interest in the Ye family's father and son, Lu Zhuhu still had a new respect at this time! Thanks to them, so that future generations will have the opportunity to recall the colorful culture at this time!
