Chapter 50: The New Sister (Part I) (part 3 of 5)
"I remember someone used to say "China doesn't have a master, don't pretend", it's hard to say if there are film masters in China, but there are definitely master-level works!"
"Sherlock on the Plains is a master?"
"It's just a fun story... I think after reading "Sherlock on the Plains", I can parse a lot of things... For example, the difference between urban and rural areas, such as the left-behind elderly..."
"You seem to have a special admiration for Zhang Yimou?"
"If you make a few movies, you know that he is amazing, his talent in color and composition is amazing, a person, a director, can use color, let the world remember China, then he must be a powerful, and unique style of director!"
"Have you watched "White Deer Plain"?"
“... No, but I bought the rights to adapt the TV series and started it after preparing for "Red Sorghum". ”
"Why was "Sherlock on the Plains" released at the same time as "White Deer Plain"?"
"You're not asking a good question... We have arranged other movies for the National Day file, "Sherlock" is in the limelight, of course it will be released now, as for "White Deer Plain", it just so happened!"
"Are you optimistic about Wang Quanmine's "White Deer Plain"?"
Shen Mengxi shook his head: "I'm not optimistic..."White Deer Plain" spans fifty years, there are too many things to tell, there is a feeling of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", if I am asked to be the director, I will definitely have no way to restore the movie... Maybe director Wang Quanmine will find a new angle, who knows..."
......
He really found a new angle and directly made "White Deer Plain" into "The Legend of Tian Xiao'e"...
I want to shoot in the direction of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", but unfortunately I don't dare to take off the grass, and breaking my shoes is the first big failure;
I wanted to go in the direction of "Alive", and made a MV for a local drama...
In the original book, she chose to seduce Heiwa to take revenge on Guo Juren in order to fight against the injustice of fate, and the movie shows a pampered noble lady who is unwilling to be lonely and cheats to seduce Changgong, and it is written from head to toe that I am a slut.
Reed said it so well: I found that his pattern is too small, and he can't do it if you give him a big piece.
By the way, "Sherlock on the Plains" and "White Deer Plain" were released on the same day, and the box office of the former was nearly three times that of the latter...
- 13 million on the first day of "White Deer Plain", 29.8 million on the first day of "Sherlock on the Plains"...
The sixth generation of A's education is not news - Jia Zhangke was full of enthusiasm back then, and "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" fought against "The City is Full of Golden Armor".
Jia Zhangke complained in various ways: Don't use the box office to measure the success of the movie, a lot has happened in the past month, and there are many actionable factors behind the film to produce a box office miracle.
The most important thing is the use of public resources: for example, during the release of a certain film, overseas blockbusters are not allowed to be screened, and for example, CCTV news broadcasts can broadcast the news that 'a certain film will be released today'. This ability to use public resources is not something that every director can operate, but the box office at this time is not the result of market choice.
We hope that there will be a level playing field in the Chinese film market!
Okay, now I'm fair to you: "White Deer Plain" is scheduled for 18% on the first day, and "Sherlock on the Plains" is scheduled for 25% on the first day - the difference is not very big.
The audience is free to choose, or to be beaten!
Of course, it's not as miserable as "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" - it didn't reach a million box office...
mentioned "Sherlock on the Plains" on the Internet, and it was unanimously praised:
Without exploiting the vernacular, a plain variant of the detective type is completed. Frontal shots, parallel editing, and even images from different media are all naturally integrated into the overall context of the film between the actors' gestures.
does not pretend to be profound, nor forcibly advanced, but makes people see a rare innocence and simplicity, and is moved by it.
Once Zhang Yimou has a good script, it is really like a tiger!
mentioned "White Deer Plain", it was scolding:
"The original: It is a secret history of a nation, the movie: It is a history book of Bichi's aid;"
"Tsk, Shen Mengxi is still a little worse, look at Lao Wang, people will find a new angle: In those years, Tian Xiao'e who we slept with ~"
"Awesome, a copy of "White Deer Plain" has only one woman's lust left, no matter what the final result of the director's cut is, it doesn't make much sense!"
By the way, "White Deer Plain" also caused the bombardment of screenwriter Lu Wei: From the screenwriter's point of view, I wrote 7 drafts of "White Deer Plain", and no one read the original more than me. I have a say, so I'm going to speak. I don't like this movie. The film should respect the hard-won success of Shaanxi culture in terms of adaptation, and the first-class should be made into a first-class movie. I think I'm sorry for the current level of film.
And he removed the screenwriter's signature...
I don't think this movie deserves his name!
It's very good!
This has nothing to do with Shen Mengxi, he is busy fishing, this time there are audiences!
......
"Di Lieba means beloved beauty in Uyghur language..."
"What about Gulnazar?"
"Looks like a flower!"
"I'll go, you guys are so casual about naming me!"
He was chatting with the hot bar, accompanied by Xu Zheng and Lei Jiayin, to be precise, the crew of "Big Winner"...
The appointment was for dinner, Shen Mengxi forgot about it, and came with a fishing rod, and then Xu Zheng and the others went to the territory of the fishing guy together, a farm located in the suburbs of Beijing - Shen Mengxi bought it!
It's not to learn the big guys, but this place can really be, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it has been in the cage for a long time, and suddenly it has to return to nature!
Anyway, the big golden retriever likes it here very much, and he can run freely...
Originally, Xu Zheng was supposed to accompany Shen Mengxi, but I didn't know what he thought, so he actually let Reba follow Shen Mengxi...
Shen, the single heroine, not the harem, Mengxi, originally felt that the little girl was following next to her, and it was not good to do things...
It's okay, it's hot, it's quite eye-catching!
Keeping his distance, he asked, and she replied...
I didn't deliberately say anything like 'Wow, that's amazing!' or 'Brother is awesome'.
It's normal for a woman.
"How do you feel working with Lei Jiayin?"
“... He's very serious!"
Shen Mengxi smiled: "It's normal, he didn't beat you, which means that he was very restrained!"
"Huh?"
"He is very devout about acting, when he used to make movies, because the heroine was not in the play, he needed him to slap the girl, but he really hit the girl, and the girl cried very much..."
The hot bar was a little surprised...
"He, like Guo Jingfei, is a bit of a drama idiot, Lao Guo toured the drama back then, because the audience coaxed, which affected the drama effect, and he directly fought with the audience, and almost didn't fight!"
"People like them really care about drama and are real drama actors. They are professional, cautious, love their profession, cherish every role, of course, they also have requirements for rival actors, you can't perfunctory him... There are fewer and fewer such actors!"
