Chapter 336: Chainsaw and the Prisoner
[As a Hong Kong Island series of movies that exploded in the 90s, "Happy Family 2010" completely cut off the ceiling of this series in the mainland! The film is not only of inferior standard, but also insincere, funny and reluctant, blunt, after "Future Special Police", Ke Zhanyi is another big bad movie to grab money! 】
In this world, people either live vulgarly, and then, no longer pursue any promotion, and use their past fame to settle for money.
Either reject this colorful world, devote yourself to carving your own works, endure obscurity, endure poverty, and then sharpen a sword for ten years, and finally become a blockbuster!
But......
Obviously, Ke Zhanyi does not belong to either the former or the latter.
Then, he wanted both money and word of mouth......
What good movie can be made in half a month?
When he returned to Huaxia and saw that the box office of "Happy Family 2010" exceeded 80 million in just a few days, he felt pleasantly surprised.
This is the highest weekly box office in his career!
But after seeing a series of bad reviews on the Internet, Douban scolded himself bloody.
He felt pain again......
When he saw that another movie "Those Flowers" by [Shengshi Entertainment] had accumulated at the box office, which also exceeded 80 million, with a Douban score of 8.7, he was even more painful.
The box office record created by "That Summer That Year" in the theme of youth was immediately surpassed by "Those Flowers".
Originally......
It seems that he should follow Zhang Sheng, and then, shoot that "Seven Days of Killing"!
Thinking about the [Cannes International Film Festival], Bi Feiyu's beautiful appearance......
He was naturally envious, and then, not taste.
Life......
Sometimes it's just a choice.
But it's often a wrong step, and in the end, it's a wrong step.
………………………………
in the hotel.
Bi Feiyu chatted with many foreign directors.
We talked from the evening to the early hours of the morning, and then, to the morning.
There is a feeling of exhaustion in the body, but the whole person is full of unfinished feelings.
Before you walk into the Cannes International Film Festival......
He never thought that his film "Seven Days of Killing" would win an award, although he kept reminding himself that he and all the directors present were equal.
can't have an inferiority complex in terms of qualifications, popularity, movie box office, etc., but there is still a lack of confidence in my heart.
Vaguely, she was dazzled like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, but she just controlled herself, allowing herself to smile, be peaceful, and calm, so as not to show her hillbilly-like humiliating behavior.
Of course, because of the pride in my heart, I felt that I couldn't follow the director Zheng Shaoshuai, and my mind was full of all kinds of "dog licking behavior".
Later, he won the award!
Nervous, cramped, unbelievable.
But more often than not, he stood on a high platform, looking down at the many directors below who had not won the award, looking at their envious, incredible, shocked, and longing eyes.
They are the so-called noble "international directors" in the mouth of Zheng Shaoshuai, but, aside from the so-called "international halo" and "birth halo", they are actually just a group of mortals chasing fame and fortune.
When he stepped down, the gang embraced him.
Bi Feiyu was very excited, feeling that he was being embraced, as if he was already an internationally renowned director.
A work that won two awards at the Cannes International Film Festival!
This is already the only one in China, and in terms of quantity, even the work that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes at the end of the nineties can't be compared.
With the aura added to his body, he instantly felt a kind of confidence from within, filling his whole body.
The mood has naturally changed a little, becoming a little inflated, and it is inevitable that there is a feeling of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
He is only 25 years old this year, he is very young, and youth is capital, there are more possibilities, best director, the Palme d'Or is also conceivable.
His heart swelled, but his face remained humble.
After staying with Zhang Sheng for a long time, you can easily learn some of his qualities, the most obvious trait is "disguise".
When he walked into the hotel, Zhang Sheng handed over all the stage to him.
He began to learn to smile like Zhang Sheng, showing a humble expression, and then pretended to follow these overseas directors to exchange their experience in filmmaking on an equal footing.
Eventually, though, he realized that he had learned a lot.
Including the understanding of the movie, the character, and the shaping of the art.
Zhang Sheng entered the hotel again at noon the next day.
He saw that the directors were gone.
Bi Feiyu stayed alone in the hotel, smoking silently.
But the appearance of smoking is not decadent, but like an artist, looking back at something, thinking deeply about something.
He was so focused that he didn't even react when Zhang Sheng walked in.
Zhang Sheng saw contracts on the table, which were the contracts for the 2nd Southern California International Film Awards.
Zhang Sheng and Bi Feiyu invited nearly 20 directors who did not win awards at the [Cannes International Film Festival], and finally about 15 were willing to participate in the [Southern California International Film Awards] in Brazil in November this year......
Of course, in addition to them, British director Valerie, who won some small awards at the [Cannes International Film Festival], and Russian director Mikhalkov also expressed their willingness to participate in the [2nd Southern California International Film Awards].
After Zhang Sheng briefly glanced at the contract, he heard Bi Feiyu look up and see Zhang Sheng: "Mr. Zhang......"
"You say ......"
"After chatting with these directors yesterday, I had a strange sense of longing in my heart......"
"What sense of longing?"
"The desire for plasma, after the filming of "Seven Days of Killing", I don't think it's too enjoyable......"
"Do you want to make "Seven Days to Kill 2"?"
"That's not ......" Bi Feiyu snuffed out the cigarette butt: "I want to make a movie about the theme of a secret room......"
"Secret room theme?" When Zhang Sheng heard this, he subconsciously sat opposite Bi Feiyu.
"Yes, it's a secret room movie, I just talked to the Russian director Mikhalkov, and his words touched ......"
"What?"
"He has been exploring human nature, and his movie "Purple Sun" attempts to use the background of war to reflect the good and evil of "human nature", and exploring to the extreme is an artistic ......"
Bi Feiyu seems to have matured a lot overnight.
His expression was very serious, and at the same time, he said these words with a hint of inexplicable piety.
His own understanding of film art is quite talented, and after chatting with these directors yesterday, he quickly suppressed his "inflated" emotions and realized his own shortcomings.
"What movie do you want to make?"
"In the secret room, the plasma bursts!"
"More detail?"
"Mr. Zhang, I want to use movies to explore what kind of price a person can pay in order to live...... Yesterday the British director Valerie told me about a real-life case that roughly means that an athlete's foot was stuck in a deserted jungle...... All he had was a nail clippers, a bottle of water, and a cell phone with no signal...... His feet were stuck on the stones, he tried to struggle, but he couldn't get out, and in a day, he tried countless methods, hunger, thirst, loneliness, despair, these negative feelings and emotions affected him all the time......"
“……”
"The most shocking thing to me is that he finally used nail clippers to cut the bones hard, and then survived......"
"You want to shoot this subject?"
"No, this is Valerie's registered subject, I got the copyright, and I'm going to shoot it soon, I'm sure I can't shoot these things, otherwise it's infringement, but at that time, I had an idea, that is, in a secret room, some prisoners who were kidnapped for some reason, and then, in the dark, a pair of eyes were watching them, so that if they had to live, they would have to break their legs or their hands...... Otherwise, they will die, and when some people are in a secret room with few survival resources, in order to survive, what will they do to be crazy? When I thought about this proposition, I suddenly felt excited! ”
"Saw Horror?" When Zhang Sheng heard this, he instantly looked at Bi Feiyu.
Although he hadn't seen the movie "Chainsaw", he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have watched similar "movie commentary" and "movie bridges".
"Huh? What Saw Horror? Well, chainsaws, okay, I think you can also add that kind of mechanical chainsaw, that kind of despair that chainsaw slowly cuts through......"
When Bi Feiyu heard the words "Chainsaw", he was very unfamiliar, but then nodded and began to chat with Zhang Sheng about his thoughts on the new movie!
Zhang Sheng listened very carefully, nodding from time to time.
Bi Feiyu named the new movie "The Prisoner", and the plot vaguely seems to be similar to "Chainsaw", but the exploration of the cruelest side of human nature seems to be more serious.
Bi Feiyu even proposed with great interest [Traditional movies will always pursue good and evil, but in extreme environments, kindness cannot save people, only rational choices can live!] 】
He wants to subvert the audience's innermost perception......
"Mr. Zhang, I'll write a synopsis of the script first, can you help me take a look?" Perhaps it was because the things he said with interest were a little messy, Bi Feiyu calmed himself down.
"Okay."
Zhang Sheng watched Bi Feiyu come to the desk at the edge of the room and began to write some outlines.
As he wrote, he had a bad smile and excitement on his face.
Just then, he heard a knock on the door.
He got up and knocked on the door, but saw Song Yufei standing at the door with a sad face, and when he saw Zhang Sheng, he seemed to see the backbone of the heart, and his sadness was slightly relieved.
"Mr. Zhang......"
"What's wrong?"
"Our "Seven Days of Killing" seems to have been banned!"
"Oh? What is blocked? ”
