Chapter 371: Finding faults and similarities
A play within a play.
It turns out that this whole movie is a movie called "Me (Actress)", which is a movie in a movie, in short, this technique is very interesting.
At this point, it should be over, in the end, it has not become a set, and it can be noticed that the people who died before, the director, Xiao Tongtong, and even that Huang Xiaoming, they all appeared, so this should be the end.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and to be honest, such a plot keeps surprising people, and it's still very interesting.
But.
There was no ending song or CAST on the big screen, but in the midst of a celebratory cheer, Wan Xiaoqian came to the window.
In the dark night, her shadow appeared in the window, and her shadow smiled at her again......
Finally, it's finally over.
Bang Bang Bang!
was ready to respond with applause, but I was still holding back before, knowing this last smile, I couldn't hold back anymore, whether this was the end or not, but the entire plot design of this movie, as well as all other aspects, especially the actors' performances, deserved applause.
But after all, it is the Berlin Film Festival, and now it is the stage of participation, and the judges need to be respected enough, and they need to have a unique passage to leave.
However, it seems that the judges are not in a hurry, especially Jia Huasi.
Jia Huasi asked Shu Qi through the translator, he actually wanted to ask Bai Shiqiu, the creator of this movie, although he also noticed that in the screenwriter and director column, there were other people's names, but Bai Shiqiu was the most repeated.
"Is the director's name in the film the name of the chubby guy in the film?"
This question is really a bit strange, but the translation is still passed on to Shu Qi.
Shu Qi was also very strange, but he could only answer truthfully: "Not really." β
But she then added, "They are all surnamed Bai, and Bai Shiqiu is indeed a famous movie star in China and the owner of this movie." β
Jia Huasi smiled after hearing this, didn't say anything, and nodded.
Shu Qi really couldn't help it, so she asked through the translator, "Sir, is this important?" β
Jawath said with a smile: "This movie reminds me of a previous movie called "Adapted Screenplay". β
After speaking, the bento took the first step, Shu Qi's face was a little overwhelmed, but he had to follow, and the jury walked out.
At this point in the premiere, of course, it will be time for interviews or questions from film critics.
The creator of "Me" walked on stage and prepared to fight.
In other words, Wan Qian has also experienced a lot of big and small battles, but this time, she was inexplicably nervous, grabbing Bai Shiqiu, and her palms were full of sweat.
"Wet so soon?" Bai Shiqiu felt it, so he made a joke.
Wan Qian was so angry, she twisted it and said, "Lao Bai, you villain." This time, I, I ......"
She can't say anything, because in this movie, Wan Qian is the absolute heroine, and the number of scenes is much more than the previous "Hello Maniac", in fact, you can know "Actress" just by the name of this movie, which can basically be regarded as her one-man show.
is so alone, and it is still in such an internationally renowned film festival, it is no wonder that she is not nervous.
"Sister." Yaya naturally saw the pressure of Sister Qianqian, "Anyway, you just push everything on Lao Bai." β
This move is really powerful, Wan Qian smiled after hearing it, "Just do it." β
Bai Shiqiu is not far away, it is really ...... A happy smile was revealed.
Needless to say, there are so many media reporters coming, it is like a bomber, especially for domestic reporters, there are too many questions, and there is a lot of gossip.
"Bai Shiqiu, is Hongxing ready to push Wan Qian this time?"
"Wan Qian will be the first sister of Red Star?"
"Yes, Wan Qian's strength is obvious to all, but it seems that there are still some ...... missing"
This is not bad, especially when someone asked very dryly: "Bai Shiqiu, how is your rumored girlfriend Yang Mi doing?" β
it......
Bai Shiqiu's heart galloped through countless alpacas.
But Qianqian was a little more relaxed, "Don't guess, Yang Mi is still very cute, and she has a good relationship with me." β
In the face of gossip, she is more than comfortable.
In this scene, the most disturbing thing is Fan Bingbing.
Although Fan Bingbing also knew that this movie was played by Wan Qian, and it was also called "Actress", but where did he think that it was so important, this movie was simply made for Wan Qian.
Even, even Bai Shiqiu's appearance, he is simply self-destructing in the movie, so fat and sassy...... , I want to laugh.
Fan Bingbing really couldn't stand it, she was a little sad, how good it would be for her to have such a man.
Of course, the key is to be talented, not to make a movie for her casually, just this "Me (Actress)" is too thoughtful and too thoughtful.
I thought of another question, Wan Qian must be Bai Shiqiu's woman, and the girl next to her will definitely not be able to run, but there is no contradiction between the two of them, this is ...... Bastard!
Walked away, and didn't see them showing affection there.
Unlike Fan Bingbing's departure, Wang Xiaoshuai incarnated as a film critic and asked a rather sharp question.
"Bai Shiqiu, your technique in this film should be to copy ...... borrowed from the American "Adapted Screenplay", right? β
The movie "Adapted Screenplay" has been mentioned again, so what kind of film is this?
In 2003, there was a movie called "Adapted Screenplay", this movie is very interesting, the screenwriter is Charlie Kaufman, Donald Kaufman and Susan Orlin, there is a key to this, that is, this "Adapted Screenplay", which is to be adapted by Susan Orlin, "The Orchid Thief".
And in the movie, Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman, and Susan Orlin, the story between the three of them, that is, the whole story technique, is indeed somewhat similar to this "I".
But it was not the screenwriters who played it, but Nicolas Cage played the Kaufman brothers, who played two roles, and Orlin was played by Meryl Streep.
There is also one of the most interesting places, that is, Nicolas Cage gained weight in order to star in this movie...... This is very similar to Bai Shiqiu's actions.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoshuai wanted to scold plagiarism at all, but he temporarily changed his words.
You must know that there is a reason why Wang Xiaoshuai is so anxious, this "Adapted Screenplay" is a small-budget film, although it did not win any awards that year, but it was shortlisted at the Berlin Film Festival, the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscars, and the three well-known award stages, and they also won something.
Although it didn't win the grand prize, the quality of the film is still very good, or to put it simply, this kind of play-within-a-play technique is very creative, and many people imitated it later.
Wang Xiaoshuai felt threatened.
Faced with such Wang Xiaoshuai, Bai Shiqiu laughed and said: "Brother Wang, don't worry, you can sum it up, does the story in my film have anything to do with "Adapted Script"? As for the technique, it's not the same, of course, if you have to say it, it's also casual, I don't mind Bai Shiqiu. β
As soon as this remark came out, the subtext was......
What can you do with me?
Wang Xiaoshuai was so angry, "Okay, don't say it, don't say it." β
Turn around and leave.
Wang Xiaoshuai also understood in his heart that what Bai Shiqiu said was right, it didn't matter at all in the story, and it had to be said in a trick...... Actually, it's different.
Touching the conscience, these two movies, "I" at most borrowed the idea of "Adapted Script", that's all, it's very different, if this is plagiarism, then no one in the world is clean, and human beings don't make any inventions.
However, Wang Xiaoshuai is depressed that the story of his movie really does not follow any of the previous works...... There are a few of them, but after all, they are very different.
He felt that he was absolutely original, so he couldn't help but ask Bai Shiqiu for this, which is human nature, especially at the moment, the two sides are still in the stage of competition.
Many film critics present, after Wang Xiaoshuai's words, everyone suddenly remembered.
Yes, it was four years ago, that "Adapted Screenplay" appeared in Berlin and almost won the Golden Bear, and the film critics just watched this movie and thought it was still very fresh, but now it is recalled.
"Mr. Bai Shiqiu, have you plagiarized "Adapted Script"?" The one who spoke unceremoniously was Maria GarcΓa Gucinotta, who had previously starred in "007, Black Sun Crisis", but in recent years she has mainly been a film critic.
However, as soon as this question came out, some people couldn't listen to it.
"This "Actress" and "Adapted Script" are basically two movies, why do you have to involve plagiarism? It's ridiculous, you know? At best, it's a tribute to the previous masterpieces, and that's it. The one who retorted was also a bit famous, his name was Aki Quaresmachi, who was in his fifties this year, and was a Nordic drama geek.
Bai Shiqiu really didn't know this middle-aged man, so he thought his eyes were quite funny, but since he was righteous, he still smiled back.
Gusinotta and Quaresmachi, these two people are a woman and a man, and they don't have much to do with each other, but they don't know how to do it at this time, so they go toe-to-toe.
"What are you talking about? Didn't you know that this is a kind of plagiarism? β
"Plagiarism? Are you crazy about this woman? β
This is interesting, it seems that the two of them have had a holiday before, after all, one is making movies, and the other is an amateur film critic who likes to be blind to BB.
The scene is very interesting, but fortunately, our premiere is over, and everyone should maintain their demeanor.
However, if this "Me (Actress)" can cause such a quarrel, then this is interesting, there is definitely a hot spot.
The reporters were very happy and knew how to write a script.
It seems that the whole world actually likes to watch tearing ...... Bai Shiqiu could probably guess what happened next.
But, of course, he Lao Bai won't do anything to stop it, you know, it's good to have hot spots, I'm afraid there are no hot spots. Of course, Bai Shiqiu still has the experience of the Cannes incident, and he will pay attention not to let too many people tout our film.
The more you blow, the faster you die.
At the moment, the most ferocious thing that is being blown on the Berlin side is a British film called "Carefree".
Bai Shiqiu has seen this movie, to be honest, this is a good movie, Bai Shiqiu currently thinks that the biggest opponent should be her.
However, for plagiarism, of course, Wan Qian is the one who cares the most.
When I got back to the Prom Hotel, I couldn't wait to ask.
"Lao Bai, is there a plagiarism problem?"
"Qianqian, haven't you watched "Adapted Script"?" Bai Shiqiu is a little inexplicable, and Qianqian is acting a little strange now.
"I, I've seen it, but ......"
Qianqian said so, but Yaya's hand raised at the right time, "I haven't seen it." β
It's like a little pot friend who admits his mistakes.
Hahaha......
The three of them couldn't help laughing, Yaya is really cute.
However, Bai Shiqiu still said it simply, and calmed the hearts of the two wives.
"Don't worry, if this is also plagiarism, then it's really unreasonable, the film industry all over the world is closed, and no one should shoot it, because there must be similarities with previous movies......" I must say that Lao Bai is telling the truth, but he still explained, "Actually, if you really want to talk about borrowing, I borrowed more from an animation called "The House of the Ministry". β
A non-hemp house?
The two wives began to look for this animation.,As a result, I found that the difference is also very big.,The other thing is...... Wow, are the animations so bold?
Lao Bai, this guy usually looks at something, so shy.
But in fact, Bai Shiqiu didn't say everything.
He didn't just borrow from "The House of the Unhemp", he also borrowed from "Black Swan", and the "La La Land", which these two films don't exist now, otherwise, even if Emma Stone had to beat him, he wouldn't have changed his mind so easily.
Regarding the alleged plagiarism, this is absolutely non-existent.
But sometimes, things turn out in surprises......
