Chapter 107: Speechless (3/4)

"The Oscar PR for "Parasitic Upper" can begin..."

"It's already arranged!"

"Well," after a pause, Shen Xudong continued, "Don't worry about wasting money... Even if it doesn't work this year, there will be next year..."

"I understand."

The biggest winner of this year's Oscars is "Birdman" directed by Alejandro...

This movie is perfect for winning awards!

The actor is obsessed with drama art, 20 years ago, he gave up the popular commercial film career and devoted himself to pure artistic pursuit, but the reality made it difficult for him, and 20 years have passed, hitting walls everywhere.

The image of the birdman he imagined is a metaphor for fame and fortune, always persuading him to put down his drama ideals and return to the commercial film industry, to get back his voice and lust, glamorous.

He eventually returned to the theater, let go of his utilitarianism, and chose to do something truly meaningful: do some work that actually mean something,

This was his first struggle, breaking his utilitarian heart.

The second struggle is to break one's own obsession.

For the sake of art, he gambled all his fame, wealth, career and family, and gave almost everything, but he was suppressed by the authority of art and was not understood by the audience.

This left him particularly lost, distressed, devastated, and plunged into deep self-doubt.

The male protagonist finally walked onto the stage with a real gun, shot at his ideals, shot at the audience, and then pulled the trigger, and the bullet killed himself.

At this point, the male protagonist is truly liberated.

Those so-called ideals, although they are in the name of art, seem noble, but they are also a kind of attachment after all; is cynical, angrily pointing out that everything is wrong, and expecting the audience's love and recognition is just a preconception.

But the funny thing is that his suicidal behavior irritates the audience, and then the theater fills out...

However, "Parasitic Upperclass" is not without the power of a fight...

Chen Xi whispered: "Actually, we can invest in Li Amine's new film..."

"What kind of 120-frame movie is Li Amine going to make, I am clearly against this!"

"Why? Isn't technological progress bad? ”

"There are very few theaters around the world that can support 120 fps, and most people don't see a 120 fps movie, but a movie with the frame rate adjusted. Moreover, in my opinion, this kind of high frame rate movie may not be of much significance to traditional movies, and people still want to watch a good story when watching movies, not all kinds of show-offs. ”

Although I admire Liamine's exploration of technology...

120 frames is definitely a more refreshing visual experience than the widescreen technology of the year.

But today, what haven't you ever seen?

VR is nothing new anymore, and no one is going to treat 120 fps as a gimmick.

In addition, most movie theaters do not have equipment that supports such high frame rates, and the ticket price is so much more expensive than ordinary movies...

Anyway, Shen Xudong didn't feel the meaning!

The so-called 120 frames of influence on the film, whether in terms of aesthetics, the language of the film, or the technology, is not revolutionary in any way, it is far inferior to the impact of "Avatar" on the course of the film.

Innovation is not a good attempt at best.

That's all.

From a visual point of view alone, from black and white to color, film is a huge revolution, this revolution is not a better restoration of reality, but with color, so that it can be better expressed, it enriches the director's means of expressing the world. The increase of the color enriches the expression.

What does 120 frames mean?

In fact, it means high definition...

Can you make a tear clearer? Seeing wrinkles on your skin?

There is no point!

Chen Xi: "PropNex has invested..."

"Yu Dong wants to break into Hollywood, it's understandable!"

“… Okay, I'll go first..."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Xudong called out to her: "Accompany me to the premiere of "Breakup Master" at night? ”

"Yes," Chen Xi agreed, and then raised his eyebrows: "It's not enough for your little assistant to accompany you?" ”

"She's not an insider!"

……

Shen Xudong regretted it a little, not that Chen Duling's business ability was not good...

In fact, she got started quite quickly, and her work ability is much higher than that of Zhang Zhixi before, the problem is... Zhang Zhixi can play profane... The word is inaccurate, it should be doing some work of artistic communication.

Chen Duling...

Shen Xudong really can't look down on it!

He decisively refused even Tang Yan's, let alone Chen Duling.

White young and thin... He really doesn't like it.

Still, take her with you...

- She's still doing an internship.

Shen Xudong was going to pick out Ming in another week, and asked her if she wanted to try to be an actor and arrange Bai Yueguang roles in a few ancient puppet shows for her...

However, she has a good background and... In terms of her appearance, there are no competitors except for the cool girl.

Pulled back, Chen Duling got in the car and asked about "The Breakup Master"...

This movie has high expectations, after all, it is the second work directed and acted by Deng Chao - the first work "The Big Winner", which has a good reputation and box office.

“… It's best not to get too excited! ”

"Why?"

"The screenwriter is Yu Baimei, I heard that it is a drama adaptation..."

"Drama adaptation..."Charlotte's Troubles" is also a drama adaptation, right?"

"Yes..."Shen Xudong shook his head: "But "Charlotte" is the most valuable work in the twist drama..."

“…”

Chen Duling didn't speak, and Chen Xi asked, "Can it be over 500 million?" ”

"Five hundred million... More than that, there is a good chance that it will exceed 800 million! ”

"So fierce?"

"The Deng Dynasty is very popular now, and there are no masterpieces in September..."

"The Expendables 3 and Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2..."

"I'm talking about Chinese films!"

Chen Xi pursed his lips, continued to look down at his phone, and without saying anything all the way, he arrived at Golden Harvest International Cinema, where "The Breakup Master" premiered.

……

Commenting on "Breakup Master", it's actually quite boring...

This is not a comedy, this is a pretending to be crazy and stupid that has been played bad 30 years ago, and I feel bad when I see Deng Chao pretending to be a baby in the front, and sure enough, the development in the back is so stupid that I will feel embarrassed as an audience.

All the jokes in this film are focused on Deng Chao, but they are all very low-level jokes, that is, cross-dressing, pretending to be ugly, and pretending to be stupid.

Many of the episodes are not only not beneficial to the progress of the plot, but also very stiff, to the extent that people are physically uncomfortable...

It feels like a comedy movie lover gets a chance to make a movie, so he stuffs all the bloody, touching, old, and new jokes he has seen before.

What is so much love for money on the surface, but it is actually a bedridden mother;

worked hard for Ye Xiaochun and Lao Liu;

was stabbed and finally vomited blood;

The vast sea of people found you for a year and other very vulgar jokes, and I was very happy to use them.

And I like to make a reversal after these 'touching' paragraphs, to create some jokes, once or twice, every time, it's not interesting...

That's it, Yu Baimei also said, 'We are a farce, a comedy farce, is there anything wrong with this?' Who rules that comedy is not a movie? ’

Translate: Whoever stipulates that garbage cannot be a movie, and it cannot be a circle of money.
