Chapter 121: The core content of the new film
"Already done?" When Li Xuelin heard Song Mu say that, he handed back the passbook with great interest and said, "How much money do each of us need?" Collar. Guide you to look at the buckle. ”
Song Mu rolled his eyes, threw the passbook back to him, and scolded with a smile: "You just pretend to be courteous." Knowing that the script hasn't been decided yet, how can it be calculated? ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Han Yangqiu: "How's the script?" The latest one has been changed, right? ”
Han Yangqiu took out a stack of manuscript paper from the folder, distributed it to everyone, and said, "This is the version I revised after everyone brainstormed. ”
Everyone picked up the script and read it at the first time. After about ten minutes, after everyone had finished reading this version of the script, Han Yangqiu asked with a slight apprehension, "How is it?" ”
Song Mu didn't answer immediately, but looked at Liu Xiaoping, who was usually the most talkative, and asked, "Liu Xiaoping, let's talk about what you feel first?" ”
Liu Xiaoping did not shirk, she had already marked it with a pen when she was reading, so she spoke very fluently: "I think the general direction is no problem, and I can't find any shortcomings in the rhythm." Now there is only one point left that I feel a little uncomfortable with - will the laughter of this film be a little too dense? ”
"I feel that way, too." Wang Xue expressed her opinion at this time: "The current script is less popular science for young children like in "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", and there is more joke baggage. If we still want to win the award, will this arrangement make the judges feel superficial? ”
"Superficial...... Is it? Song Mu touched his chin and muttered to himself.
Indeed, as Liu Xiaoping and Wang Xue said, the biggest difference between the magic scripts of "Mulan" and "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" lies in the popularization of science for young children.
The reason for this result is naturally because the original scripts of these two animations were written by Song Mu. And Song Mu's basis for writing the script comes from her memory of her previous life.
"Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" can be said to be the last struggle of Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio in the world of the previous life. In a certain sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it carries the last dream of Huaguo animation.
"Mulan" is a complete series of the fourth nun princess, it is an attempt by the United States to export culture to China, and it is also an attempt by the fourth nun to cater to the feminist government of the United States. Cure the right work.
It is precisely because of the difference in the thinking of the two animation producers that they are different from the core. Even if Song Mu had changed all of them, the difference in that essence could not be completely erased.
"The script alone cannot directly conclude superficiality." Han Yangqiu did not directly say what he thought, but instead asked a question: "The final script was revised by me, and I won't talk about my feelings first." But I have a question that I want to get answered, why is it necessary to have popular science in cartoons? ”
His question made everyone, including Song Mu, fall into deep thought.
Yes, why do you have to have a popular science bridge?
To make cartoons less superficial?
For an edutainment effect?
To promote scientific knowledge and common sense?
"To show the kids." Han Yangqiu didn't wait for everyone to answer, so he said his answer, "Because the audience of animation is children, adding popular science to the animation can allow children to learn knowledge while watching animation."
"I don't deny that it's a good idea, but it makes me wonder, why do you have to learn in cartoons? Isn't knowledge supposed to be learned in the classroom?! ”
Everyone fell silent for a while, although Liu Xiaoping was almost moved by Han Yangqiu's words, but she always felt that something was wrong in her heart.
Han Yangqiu's speech did not end, he was silent for a few seconds and then spoke again: "Our Chinese cartoons have been labeled with a hat, that is, cartoons are made for children. However, whether it is "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" or "Mulan", we take the route of family fun for all ages.
Facts have also proved that the fans of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" among adults are far greater than those of children. So, do we really need some popular science scenes that jump into the scene? I don't think so.
"As for superficiality, that's non-existent. Song Mu's great thing is that after removing the popular science of young children, she added a more adult core to the core of the script, that is, women's emancipation and equal rights for men and women.
"You may not feel it in China, but in Western countries, women. Sex. Affair. In fact, it can't hold up half the sky. While advocating equality and freedom, they have maintained a patriarchal social structure.
"Mulan is self-reliant, brave, independent, and assertive, which is exactly the independent female model that Western women have always yearned for. Support female. Sex. Untie. Put. No connotation? No, its connotation is far greater than the popular science knowledge for children. That's all I want to say. ”
After saying this, Han Yangqiu leaned back on the back of his chair, waiting for the others to speak.
Li Xuelin raised his hand to signal that he had something to say, and Song Mu nodded before he spoke: "Actually, I also felt like Xiaoping at first, and I felt that the current script of "Mulan" was a bit superficial. But now after listening to Han Yangqiu's explanation, I have some understanding.
"If you say "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother", Ling. The director has made an attempt to develop in the direction of adults, so now "Mulan", which removes popular science and adds more jokes and women's emancipation thoughts, is her further attempt after the success of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother". I thought it was worth the attempt. More importantly, ......"
He paused when he said this, and turned his gaze to Wang Xuedao: "If you are really rushing to win the award, I guess the current "Mulan" must be more suitable than "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother".
"First of all, the judges should all be adults, right? Then the animation with a higher proportion of adults should be more pleasing to the judges than the animation with a higher proportion of young children;
"Secondly, if Han Yangqiu's statement is true, I think the core of women's liberation and equal rights for men and women must impress the judges more than the core of fighting against fate and oppression.
"To sum up, I really admire the collar too much. You're in for a treat. ”
Song Mu: "......"
Liu Xiaoping, who originally had a trace of disapproval, finally fully approved the script after Han Qiuyang's supplement and Li Xuelin's speech.
She is now very self-blaming in her heart, blaming herself for not being able to see the core clearly, and reading the script only on the surface.
It turns out that the connotation of this script is so thick? In my opinion, it is just an animated script with a good story, and the team leader actually buried the content of the declaration of war on equal rights for capitalism in it!
What a domineering thing this is!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoping's eyes were instantly full of stars when she looked at Song Mu: "Leader, guide, you are really great." ”
Song Mu: "......"
She is adored by everyone, and she is trying to restrain the corners of her eyes that may twitch at any time.
I'm just a copyist who plagiarizes the script, but I just change the unreasonable places in the script to be reasonable, and then add some of my own bad taste by the way, I really don't have such a great ideological consciousness! Those great ideological consciousnesses are all private goods carried in the original script of the Fourth Ni, and they really have nothing to do with me! She thought to herself.
"Well...... This one...... Anyway...... That's pretty much it. She grinned with difficulty, put on a not-so-pretty smile, and said in as calm a tone as possible "Now this version of the script seems to me to be quite satisfied." So, do you have any comments? ”
"No more!"
"Nope."
"Nope."
"Team Leader...... Is it true that the Monkey version of the rocket launcher can't be deleted......? ”
Song Mu: "......"
She looked at Wang Xue in surprise, she never thought that this thing still remembered the rocket launcher? ! There are living dragons and crickets with human nature, why are you still entangled in a big monkey rocket launcher!!
Song Mu ignored Wang Xue's faint voice, she slammed the table and stood up, with one hand on her waist and the other in the air, she said, "Okay!" Since there are no more opinions, our script is decided! ”
