Chapter 116: Until We Meet Again
The lights in the small theater turned on so suddenly that many people didn't have time to wipe the tears from their faces, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But then there was a round of applause.
Everyone stood up, and Su Changqing also stood up, waved to everyone and shook hands with Director Han.
Don't take this too seriously, most internal test screenings are like this, like a part of the process.
However, the tear stains on the faces of many people are very rare on such occasions.
"Why am I still crying, I'm really old and my eyes are shallow, and it's easy to shed tears when I see anything. ”
Some people laugh at themselves, which is quite embarrassing to hear.
However, it is true that the tears of art are worthless, and they are easy to be moved, but they don't admit it when they lift their pants.
When she turned around, Melulan Dora, who had just wiped away her tears, gave Su Changqing a warm hug: "Thank you, I am very touched by this movie!"
It's just a commercial entertainment film, and it doesn't seem necessary to react so enthusiastically, maybe her expectations are lower.
Su Changqing believes that "Taiping" will succeed, but he also reminds himself not to be blindly optimistic, there are many things to do next, and he must not be sloppy.
After all, it was not an award ceremony, Director Han waved his hand, and the applause stopped: "The film is finished, what do you think, this is the purpose of the test screening." ”
He didn't say anything first, so as not to take the wind in the direction of the wind.
It's a fixed session, so everyone shared their opinions.
In fact, most of the praise and criticism during the screening process have been said, and now it is just an official repetition, especially the criticism, for fear that Su Changqing didn't hear it just now.
However, there are also new opinions, such as someone proposing: "Other people are alienated within a few seconds when they are bitten, and they immediately become inhumane, but why are the male protagonists, strong men and villains dragging their feet when they are bitten, not only can they recall the past and have lines, but they still maintain their humanity even at the last moment, too eccentric, right?"
Which unit is this?,Blasting out.,Can't the protagonist have a little aura?
In order to speed up the pace, others can only roughly perform, and the protagonist has the privilege of depicting in detail, even if it is a matter of a few seconds, it can be interpreted into a few minutes, and this truth is actually embarrassed to ask if you are a movie.
Some people also say that the good and evil of the characters are too distinct, obviously facial, and there are many pregnant women, children, and the elderly, which obviously caters to the configuration of genre films, and there is a lack of innovation in this regard.
These are indeed the patterned routines of commercial films, which are not artistic and personalized enough, but don't try to break the rules that have been verified countless times in the market, "Taiping" is not "Model Team", and the style route is different.
There are also some criticisms that are undoubtedly correct, such as the low spiritual realm, the lack of realistic value, and the deliberate setting of sensational scenes for tear jerking, etc.
If it weren't for letting my weak daughter sing and sensationalize, which touched Lao Tzu's nerves, would a person like me be able to hold back and cry?
Su Changqing listened to all the opinions, individual adjustments can be made, but most of them can't be changed, this is an entertainment film, the discussion of values should be pointed, don't always think about educating people when making movies.
Some people are also very disgusted with their daughter's singing: "That little girl is very annoying, she has experienced so many dangers along the way, her father was bitten to death, why don't she accept the lesson at all, she sings when she walks into the tunnel, it will attract zombies, why does Director Su arrange it like this, it feels very contrived." ”
"Maybe you want to make the ending more literary and improve the style. ”
"Walking at night and whistling, singing and courage, I shouldn't have thought about it so much. ”
This Su Changqing was a little reluctant to say more, he could understand it if he could understand it, and if he couldn't understand it, he would forget it, but some people had to explain a few words.
"Because they have experienced the death of their loved ones, they have nothing to fear.
When the father and husband were bitten, the daughter and the pregnant woman were reluctant to leave, the situation was just like the couple played by Zhou Xun, the little boyfriend did not run away, and there was no love, just to fulfill the wish of their own life, they continued to move forward.
After a lot of hard work, the train stopped halfway, and finally did not reach the destination, and there were many corpses of soldiers killed in battle on the side of the road, indicating that there were zombies in this place, so when they entered the dark and long tunnel, they had completely given up hope of life.
You should notice that there was no fear on their faces, and they walked in very calmly.
Singing is naturally to pay tribute to the deceased relatives, and to sing the song for my father that he has never had the opportunity to sing. ”
After thinking about it, Su Changqing added: "Singing in a zombie-infested environment, of course, is also a suicidal act, after so many experiences and still failed to reach a safe place, the world seems to be the only one left, and the despair can be imagined."
So the little girl sang: Before parting, give me an affectionate hug until we meet again. ”
Someone whispered: "So it's better to be bitten to death in the dark tunnel, out of sight is a hundred of pure one." ”
Dou Wei has just finished filming part of "The Voice of a Great Power", which will be broadcast on several major TV stations across the country in turn, and he is very dissatisfied with such a cruel question, and his words are sarcastic: "What's wrong with singing, at least it has been unanimously approved by several soldiers, if it is for me, I will turn on the lights for her!"
It seems that his mentor is addicted.
Originally, the discussion should have ended basically, but I didn't expect the young man who raised the bar just now to talk more at this time: "If I were filming this scene, let the soldiers shoot, or let the dead fat man jump out and bite people." ”
"Kill everyone and leave no hope?"
"What's the point of this glimmer of hope being deliberately kept? ”
"According to you, it's better to let the zombies kill the whole vehicle in the first place, and we don't have to watch for two hours. ”
The young man who raised the bar laughed: "That's not good, you can't sell tickets." ”
Su Changqing also moved the idea of letting the soldiers shoot, and soon understood that it was inappropriate, and now after the young man said it, he felt more and more stupid that the original idea was very stupid.
That shot would have killed the film.
Director Han was tactful, and in the end he didn't expand it to put forward his personal opinions, but just said before everyone applauded at the end: "Director Su Changqing is hard-working and enterprising, this is a good commercial film, and the market will finally give a fair evaluation!"
In general, the test screening will be very successful, if these peers say that it is good, it will definitely be a bad movie, just like my mother often says: "I scolded you because I care about you, otherwise why be thankless?"
It was already more than nine o'clock after the end of the test screening, and hospitality was indispensable for everything in this era, so the crew invited everyone to have a meal again, and it was lively until more than eleven o'clock.
Melulan Dora did not attend the reception, and said to Su Changqing when she got into the car: "Although your story has many oriental thoughts, human nature and family affection are common, and I think this movie will also be loved by our audience." ”
Cultural exchanges are inseparable from the support of cultural officials on both sides, which is undoubtedly a signal of goodwill.
"I'll send dailies to Paramount as soon as possible. ”
Su Changqing wanted to take the opportunity to give her another hug to thank her, but Mu Mu watched from a distance.
After the reception dispersed, Su Changqing and Mu Mu took a walk and waited for the car, and she asked a question: "I cried a few times when I watched "Taiping" just now, and I was thinking at that time, what kind of person will think about human nature so deeply and deeply?"
"What kind of person do you think it is?"
"People who are in pain in their hearts. ”
Is there inner pain?
I don't think so.
Su Changqing looked up at the bright stars in the night sky, and the entire Milky Way seemed to be spinning.
After a long time, he sighed: "Let's go to another place and continue to discuss in depth." ”
