Chapter 75: A Pleasant Conversation (4/4)
Tian Zhuangzhuang is the idol of these people!
Actually, he is also Shen Xudong's idol...
How to say it, everyone will always admire those who dare to do things out of the ordinary.
Although it is not possible to fully understand the meaning of "Horse Thief" and "Hunting Ground Zaza".
On the one hand, it may be caused by the influence of inferior pictures, and on the other hand, it is impossible to determine whether others understand it.
But in any case, Tian Zhuangzhuang has always been a noble representative of the fifth generation, he has become a symbol of sacrifice against the system, insulted and damaged, has become a banner...
And Tian Zhuangzhuang's great thing is the pattern - several movies of the sixth generation were made by his care, he was the director of Beijing Film Studio, and persuaded Han Shanping, the director of Beijing Film Studio at that time, to invest in several 85-level directors and make several movies, including Wang Xiaoshuai's "Flat Dan Girl", Senior Lu's "Growing Up", and Zhou Li's "Orphan Tears"...
There is a pattern...
Do you see if the bard has served as a producer or producer?
Of course, the premise of these things is that this matter has nothing to do with me!
Shen Xudong is really not optimistic that Tian Zhuangzhuang can shoot "The Aviator" in his mind...
It can be roughly judged from "Wu Qingyuan" that he is a little less good at making movies now, "Wu Qingyuan": no explanation of the story background, no character appearance, no events, no details, fragmentary, general, exhaustive, equal to less...
It can be interpreted as 'shooting is a state'...
But..."The Aviator" has only one state: romance!
These scripts are given...
No need to draw any more snakes!
Therefore, after meeting Mr. Tian Zhuangzhuang, Shen Xudong first blew "Spring in a Small Town......
"I've seen the 1948 version at the Cinémathèque..."
"What do you think of the remake? Let's be honest! ”
“… There is no background of the times, and there is no heavy feeling..."
Shen Xudong told the truth...
Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed: "Indeed... Actually, I also regret it a little... But I thought about it for a long time, and then I kept telling the media, I actually suddenly understood that I was going to visit a painting, and no matter how good this painting is, I am a fake..."
“… Preconceived notions are really hard to surpass..."
……
There is a program called "Director, Please Advise", and director Bi Zhifei's remake is "Spring in a Small Town"...
To be honest, Tian Zhuangzhuang's version of "Spring in a Small Town" does not change the movie itself much more than Bi Zhifei.
If Tian Zhuangzhuang took the remake of "Spring in a Small Town" to that show......
So, will he suffer the same treatment as Bi Zhifei?
Will Wang Xudong tell him: You are making this film, you are in Meiya?
Will Li Chengru tell him: I think you are stupid to read?
Probably not...
Oh, the two of them made an appointment in a small teahouse near the Chinese opera, drinking tea and chatting...
Didn't talk directly about "The Aviator", but about movies...
"I can't watch Hollywood blockbusters, it always feels too simple..."
"That's because you've been with movies all your life, and you see them as the most important thing, but for most audiences, movies are just spices of life... Commercial films mess with the character logic of the characters in order to advance the plot, but for office workers who have been busy for a week, it is up to them to relax on weekends... Isn't it confusing for people who have been busy for a week to watch a movie that analyzes human nature and society? ”
Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled, and then said: "There is no movie in this world that can satisfy everyone, some people like it, some people hate it, it's a matter of course, it's like I made "Blue Kite", at first I felt that I resisted, I was a warrior, but then I slowly felt that it was quite meaningless, it seems that few people care about this matter!" ”
Shen Xudong was a little surprised when he said this...
He has always thought that the fifth-generation director's feelings for Brother Wen are actually quite boring!
has been repeatedly grafted into all their films with the loss and pain of the elites of a certain era.
That era may be an absurd era, but it is really advanced to repeatedly use the scars of this era for spiritual nourishment?
In a sense, it's also a kind of consumption, right?
When the public doesn't buy the so-called Brother Wen's feelings...
Maybe the only ones who can be touched are themselves, right?
Tian Zhuangzhuang changed the subject: "... What is your position for "The Aviator"? ”
"A romantic epic of little people!"
"Romantic?"
"The dream of flying... The protagonist wastes his life's time for his dream of flying... may seem like a fool's behavior to ordinary people, but the background color is realism, there is such a character in reality, and the whole play immediately rises with a poetic and poetic romance! ”
Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at him: "... I wanted to make it the kind of Don Quixote... Do you think it's romantic? ”
Shen Xudong was a little surprised: "Don Quixote? ”
Belch...
It's a bit like that!
Li Mingqi, the protagonist of "The Aviator", has always wanted to build airplanes, regardless of it, Don Quixote is also immersed in his own fantasy world, completely ignoring the original appearance of the world.
After being reminded that it was just a windmill, he still fantasized about it as an enemy and stepped forward to attack...
It's not impossible to interpret it from this perspective!
Shen Xudong scratched his head: "But I think it's better to be romantic... Li Mingqi actually made money... And I have investigated, there are many private airplanes in China, Xu Xiaoxiao's photo album "Aeronautics in the Backyard", recorded the dream history of eight peasant pilots, all kinds of strange, imaginative aircraft, full of surreal flying stories. ”
“… It's true? ”
"Of course, I brought this photo album..."
Shen Xudong took out a thick book from his bag and handed it to Tian Zhuangzhuang with both hands...
Tian Zhuangzhuang looked through it and asked Shen Xudong what he thought of "The Aviator", and Shen Xudong did not hide it: "I want to use a segmented style, the beginning is 1982, telling why the protagonist is obsessed with airplanes, and then in 1992, Li Mingqi saw a report before getting married, Cao Zhengshu, a farmer in Anxian County, Sichuan, started to build airplanes in his humble shed in 1984, and has failed to test flights four times so far... ignited the idea of building airplanes, and then divorced, he wanted to build airplanes... Definitely go through a lot of setbacks, ridicule from fellow villagers, do not understand ... He left his hometown and went to Shenzhen..."
"How do you finish?"
“… It ended in '03, he was sick, and with half a year to go, he had to get on a plane of his own making, and then he succeeded and flew into the sun..."
What he said was also a little dry, but Tian Zhuangzhuang understood what he meant, and nodded: "Very good idea..."
"I think so, too... It can be interspersed with some social changes... It's like "Forrest Gump", but the protagonist is not Forrest Gump, and he can't participate in historical events..."
Hearing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed: "... Have you thought it all through? ”
“… Is it not what you expected? ”
"You've thought about it, you can shoot it yourself!"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "... I don't have time to make a movie..."
"Why don't you have time to make a movie? So, I'll be the executive producer for you... You make movies..."
Relatives from home...
It's not like I can't pee...
