Chapter 110: The Beginning (I)
"People in Embarrassment" can be said to be Li Chenggong's journey of self-healing.
After this journey, Li Chenggong has slowly changed from a selfish and indifferent person who lacks compassion and empathy, and the truth, goodness and beauty in his heart have also been activated...
By the way, the plot of the female liar was deleted...
The core of this story is to explore the relationship between middle-aged men and their wives and lovers, and it is enough to add a handsome guy's branch line to nourish the eyes, there is no need to add so much!
"People in Embarrassment", Li Chenggong is the first male lead, it is impossible for him to do things that the audience hates, and it is inevitable to return to the family!
Of course, the lover chooses to leave automatically, which is an idealized state, and the average junior will not choose to do so, they will say, 'I'm here to join the family, not to break it up'...
Therefore, socialism is a good junior, and it can't be said that it is wrong...
The one who played the junior became Tong Yali, Li Xiaolu originally said that she was coming, but she took a TV series halfway...
The fat man complained for a sentence or two, and then stopped talking, he is also a screenwriter and knows Shen Mengxi's difficulties.
Then watch the movie!
Li Chenggong, played by Xu Zheng, held his mobile phone and shouted: "What? Are there many people? Do you know what the Spring Festival is? Come, listen!"
A large shot with a clear view of the entire station.
In a country of 1.3 billion people, the most spectacular migration of people every year is the annual Spring Festival!
The train station is crowded, men and women, old and young, and the noise is coming through the big screen!
It's also quite strange that there are not many movies with such a big theme as the Spring Festival.
There may be, but it certainly lacks a commercial nature, so it can only be quietly hit the street!
The background of "People in Embarrassment" is the Spring Festival, and the audience immediately felt a sense of familiarity and all kinds of sighs...
The movie continues to be screened, and the main line of the whole movie is to go home, and all the plots follow the change of location and means of transportation...
Finally got on the train, caught up with the landslide, got off halfway, went to a nearby small town, took a minibus to the city, and encountered a road collapse, Li Chenggong forced the driver to take the trail, and then encountered a conflict...
After resolving the conflict, I took a tractor to Hankou and finally got on the bus to Changsha.
Of course, the plot of the female liar was deleted, and the two did not have a conflict, but when they woke up, the car returned to the site - the road was closed in front...
At this time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the two found a small hotel to prepare to spend the night.
"Open one?"
"Open one!"
"You two men open a room?"
"Yes, open one!"
"Hurry up, I'm sleepy. ”
"No, you two men?"
The hotel aunt has suspicion written on her face...
Fortunately, now is not the era of selling corruption, otherwise, this plot may not be interpreted in any way!
Li Chenggong didn't want to sleep on the same bed with Niu Geng, a few chairs got together, and as soon as he lay down, the chairs fell apart and he fell a big heel...
What to do?
Anyway, you can't sleep in the same bed with a man!
Dressed in a suit, I squatted for half a night, I couldn't bear it, so I could only go to bed.
Niu Geng was shirtless, rolling around restlessly, grabbing the quilt in various ways, Li Chenggong was speechless.
Stare at him, forget it, just make up for the night!
Then, he retracted his arm into the quilt, and when he touched his hand, the picture was still, a freeze-frame shot.
Li Chenggong lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed, and got straight into his hands: "Hey, wake up, wake up!"
"Huh?"
Bao Qiang opened his eyes in a daze.
Li Chenggong scolded: "Are you sick, sleep without clothes?"
"It's comfortable to sleep bare!"
"What conditions are it to play naked sleeping? put on, put on!"
"People are used to it..."
"Put it on!"
"Haha!"
The audience laughed.
It's not over, Niu Geng snoring, grinding his teeth, coupled with the noise upstairs, Li Chenggong couldn't sleep at all, so he simply covered his head, and with a "bang", he was broken out by a fart again.
No, put on his clothes, he was going to find a theory upstairs...
Chen Liming noticed the audience's laughter, sighed, and whispered: "So, the movie must be down-to-earth!"
Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "... Where does the grounding come from, the so-called grounding should refer to the conventional narrative, not the subject matter..."
He particularly hates the word 'down-to-earth', especially in film and television works, the so-called down-to-earth means: it must maintain an inevitable and full connection with public aesthetics and reality.
How to be grounded?
Take an example: "Boundless"!
The story is simple and easy to understand - a bloody case caused by steamed buns;
Sensationalism - you ruined my chance to be a good person;
There are also all kinds of selling hormones, which means 'erotic play'...
The three points are satisfied, and there are a bunch of people who say they can't understand ...
"Conventional narrative?"
"Either narrate according to time, or follow the narrative according to the progress of the story, too jumpy, it is easy to be scolded for not being able to understand," paused, Shen Mengxi said: "A movie, the story is the foundation, the emotions that move people are unchanged, and the rest are technical details, you can ask the director to help improve them!"
“... If you say that, you'll be scolded to death by the directors!"
"I love to scold or not, and I'm not afraid of them!"
On the screen, the plot continues, Xu Zheng squatted on a hanger, wearing red underwear: "I... I said I went to the wrong room, do you believe me?"
The paragraph of 'catching rape' directly amused Fat Chen!
"Haha..."
Shen Mengxi also laughed, and said by the way: "In this paragraph, I originally wanted to find Liu Yifei to make a cameo..."
"She can't act!"
“... It's one thing whether you can perform or not, it's another thing whether you want to come or not, forget it, anyway, our movie is also successful, let's go!"
Seeing the audience's reaction, Shen Mengxi already knew that the movie was half of the success, and the next thing was publicity and theater scheduling...
The fat man didn't really want to go: "... I'm going to read it!"
"The later plot is not as funny as the first half, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner!"
"Okay!"
Fat Chen immediately got up...
......
Found a tavern, and the two sat down to chat.
Chen Fatzi is very confident: "I think our film may be able to break 100 million!"
Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes: "... You think too much, you still can't do it without the blessing of celebrities!"
"And how many do you think you can have?"
"Fifty million is no problem... At most, it's 80 million..."Vote for the Name" is about to be released!"
Chen Liming pondered for a moment and sighed: "They will be on the 12th." ”
That's the case, the number of screens at this stage is too small, less than 3,500 in total, and there are generally blockbuster films, all of which are more than 80% scheduled...
"Vote for Fame" must be a blockbuster!
Li Lianjie's salary of up to 100 million yuan alone is enough to prove the weight of "Vote for Fame"...
It is said that Li Lianjie is paid according to Hollywood's value, but the North American box office of "Vote for Fame" is only $120,000...
Ahem...
Anyway, the investment of tens of millions of dollars in "Casting a Name" from China Film to Media Asia, a bunch of people bet on this movie!
It's going to be released, and "People in Embarrassment" will definitely give way.
The so-called concession is a good time period, and you have to arrange the "Vote for the Name"...
Unless "People in Embarrassment" can become a phenomenal work, but, at present, "People in Embarrassment" is still a little close...
