Chapter 675 Tears Collapse Across the Board!
Everyone shoots commercial films, Lu Ping knows this very well, so, there are some things, some aspects, everyone, please don't laugh at anyone else!
"Hello heroine! " is adapted from an urban martial arts novel called "I Have a Date with a Heroine". When filming, some additions and deletions were made to the original story, trying to make a 100-minute feature film look more compact and complete , At the same time, we must strive to make the story and characters stretch freely.
Of course, Lu Ping has always been so handy. No matter what stories he tells or what themes he makes, he will definitely add a little bit of life thinking and social observation-since his debut, film critics and people in the industry have been It is not unreasonable to classify him as a realist, and even praise him for his talent and potential, and think that in time, he will be the next Qin Wei in the Chinese film industry!
He is such a director who likes to play with depth!
This time, it was going to be a commercial film, Lu Ping knew it very well, and in terms of conception, "Hello, Heroine!" "The story itself is the direction of youthful love, and I knew beforehand that what Li Qian was going to shoot was an urban romantic comedy, so I knew he was going to hit the box office, so Lu Ping When I had the idea to make this film, it was indeed targeted.
There is no problem with the script, the actors are all good actors, and the funds are in place without rushing. As for Lu Ping himself, after the three films were filmed, his own strength, control, including reputation, etc., are used to control such a two-thousand-dollar movie. There is no problem at all for an urban romance movie with an investment of 10,000 yuan.
After filming and cutting it out, it is not a proud work, but based on the basic positioning of it as a commercial production to pursue box office, Lu Ping is quite satisfied with this work of his own.
It's hard to say anything else, in his opinion, it's not a big problem to use it to kill Li Qian, the debut film of a new film director! ——After learning that "My Sassy Girlfriend" has a very low attendance rate at the theaters in Shuntianfu, of course, this kind of confidence, this kind of self-confidence, is even more satisfying.
However, when he watched Li Qian's "My Sassy Girl" in person, before he even finished watching it, he already had a very bad feeling in his heart!
Yes, I was full of confidence. When I watched this movie for a little more than an hour, which should be about halfway through the movie, it has basically disappeared!
It is true that everyone shoots commercial films. Until now, Lu Ping still feels that his work is definitely above the qualified level. In terms of commercial films, he should be qualified to be classified as excellent! In fact, if you think about it, you know that last week, being able to kill Zheng Yuan's "The Escape Hero" with a small advantage of hundreds of thousands has already proved that this movie is definitely not weak!
But the problem is, halfway through "My Sassy Girlfriend", and comparing the two films, he suddenly discovered that Li Qian seems to be doing better than himself when it comes to grasping the selling points of the business and the use of many commercial stalks. Be great! At least, he has a much more accurate grasp of the essential jokes in low-budget urban comedy films than himself, and the film is even better than his "Woman Hero!" ", much more down-to-earth!
This is a point worth pondering!
The film industry has been developed for a hundred years, and film commercialization has been developed for 50 or 60 years in the United States, and 30 years in China. Various market laws have been adopted by batch after batch of filmmakers. It has been summed up—a pile of facts, and it has been clearly proved that whoever follows these market laws, whose films will sell well, and whose box office will explode, whoever goes against it, will definitely rush!
Urban low-budget romance films and comedies are all recognized by the predecessors. As long as they are well shot and have their own characteristics, they may become dark horses at the box office!
Especially comedies!
In this era, everyone is very tired, and even by extension, in the thousands of years of history, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, in fact, all people are very tired. Otherwise, there are so many emperors in ancient times. No matter if you are a fool, why do you almost without exception like courtiers and ministers?
To put it bluntly, everyone wants to relax, loyal ministers can only bring more troubles, and courtiers and ministers are better at making the emperor happy-just because of the happy hour of laughing and laughing from time to time, even if the emperors understand Knowing that that person is a treacherous minister, that person has been greedy for a lot of money, he just sighed: Forget it, let the next emperor deal with him after I die, at least I am alive, to keep him rich and safe, let him coax him I'm happy!
As far as movies are concerned, Qin Wei is certainly a master. Every one of his works, his deep observation, exploration and torture of society and human nature represent the depth and height of the art of film. But unfortunately, even "Red Light District", which won the Venice Grand Prix and became Qin Wei's international film master, had a box office of just over 50 million yuan, and Zhao Meicheng's urban comedy, which was released in the same year, was a little man. The vicissitudes and joys of separation and reunion are hilarious from beginning to end, but the box office broke through 100 million!
But looking at it now, Li Qian's "My Sassy Girlfriend" is of course a love theme, and Lu Ping knows the beginning and the end, and can conclude that there must be a reversed stalk in the future, but he is stunned. Romance movies, from the beginning to the end, make people watch easily, and laugh out loud from time to time!
In contrast, in my film, even though I have restrained and restrained, it is inevitable that there are more lyrical scenes and some thinking about human nature!
When I only watched my own film, I didn’t think so, and I was satisfied, but now I saw Li Qian’s film, and compared the two films together, I suddenly felt that if we only talk about commerciality, maybe Is it true that I am not as thorough as Li Qian?
The rhythm is not as fast as him!
Emotions, without his ease and joy!
The burden of jokes... Well, in fact, "Hello, Heroine!" "In ", there are still a few small burdens. According to the news from the company's field trip, it is said that when the audience watched it in the movie hall, some people did indeed laugh.
It's just... not as thorough as Li Qian's!
Thinking of this, Lu Ping couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then sighed in a subtle way!
And look again, and look again!
In terms of jokes, I am not as thorough as Li Qian, but I can't say that my film is not as good as his. At best, I can only say that Li Qian did a good job. Everyone is... field!
Moreover, I still remember the hero's monologue at the beginning of the movie, with some sad foreshadowing, it seems that the main tone of this movie will be a... tragedy?
It’s okay to add a tragic ending to a hilarious comedy, but when you think about it, it’s doomed to be a difficult way to please the audience who laughed for a whole scene and suddenly felt a heartache at the end. —If it can be done successfully, it will certainly be impressive, but it is not so easy to make a movie of that level not disgusting!
And Li Qian... Well, look, look, let's talk!
…………
Just as Lu Ping was flipping through various thoughts in his mind, the whole movie lasted about 70 minutes, and as expected, the plot began to show negative emotions.
The heroine's parents don't welcome the appearance of the hero!
In the heavy rain, the hero left the heroine's house, but stood on the side of the overpass, and clearly saw the heroine crying and ran into the heavy rain, and ran to another direction.
The whole story, from the original cheerful and lively, suddenly cast a shadow.
Although even here, whether the heroine’s parents or sending roses in the classroom later, there is always a relaxed and funny atmosphere, even the soundtrack is still brisk, but seeing here , Every audience member already felt faintly worried involuntarily.
A canon, a rose, the whole movie is clean and warm, but at this time, every audience who saw this scene did not feel relaxed and happy for the love between the two, but were worried——Next, Of course, it is another joke worthy of laughing. If it is placed in the first half of the movie, but it is placed in this place, which makes people want to laugh, but is worried that they will not be able to laugh.
The male and female protagonists celebrate and go crazy, and then the male protagonist sends the heroine home, accidentally takes out the condom in his pocket, and is picked up by the heroine's father - an embarrassing incident that should have been hilarious, but put it here However, there is a kind of hidden worry that is hard to get rid of.
Even those who laughed were smiling with frowns.
And then, sure enough, unable to bear the pressure of the family, the hero and heroine broke up.
The entire movie theater was extremely quiet.
Although everyone knows that this will definitely not be the end of the whole movie, but when the originally cheerful mood has come to this point, everyone feels uncomfortable.
The narration of the leading actor Zhou A Niu said: After breaking up, I am free again!
But is it really free?
As if every audience subconsciously watched the movie and looked forward to it, the next step was to start drinking, and this time it was the leading actor—well, he was on a blind date.
For the audience who have experienced the sweetness and love between two people with the movie playing before, this is a relatively unacceptable and heart-wrenching story setting.
However, just when even Lu Ping thought that this movie was going to end in gloom and tragedy, and that even Li Qian couldn't avoid falling into the cliché of "love movies must make tears", the next scene, suddenly Yes, almost every auditorium where the movie "My Sassy Girl" is being shown burst into laughter!
In the bathroom, the girl who was drinking with the male lead just now, the girl whom the male lead thought he was going to pick up, actually peed standing up!
So, before he finished urinating, the hero suddenly burst into tears!
And as long as he cries, the audience will burst into laughter!
Even the more he cries, the more the audience laughs!
Seeing this scene, Lu Ping couldn't help being taken aback, and then laughed helplessly!
At this moment, it is probably the most lively time in all the movie screening halls since the movie was shown - many people even clapped their hands and stomped their feet with laughter!
Yes, this is another stalk of the most common, common but most unexpected little reversal!
I make you sad, make you sad, make you worry, make you continue to worry, and then I suddenly give you a short joke - just this, the worries accumulated in the previous area were released all at once!
There is no better way to drive away inner worries than a wanton laugh!
A good director should be able to control and handle the ups and downs of the audience in such a way, unexpectedly, but not abruptly!
So, after the hilarity, as the next scene unfolds, it is obvious that this is a successful man who is having a good time with the heroine, although it still immediately arouses the audience's question whether the love between the hero and heroine can last But at least, you can look at it with a slightly relaxed heart, instead of feeling heavy like just now.
It is also under such a moderately tense situation and psychology without excessive worry that the most touching part and the most moving line of the whole movie finally arrived!
The heroine went to the bathroom and came back, seeing that Zhou A Niu was no longer there, she asked, "Where is A Niu?"
The successful man replied, "He has already left."
At this time, the heroine looked back at the restaurant door with some surprise, as if she wanted to find Zhou A Niu, but the successful man had already smiled slightly and said: "He told me to abide by the ten rules. I have a good memory. Remember it clearly. Ah, first, don’t try to make her softer, and second, don’t give her more than three drinks..."
As soon as this topic started, the movie hall quickly fell silent, the original smiles were all put away, and the original slight sounds and movements stopped in an instant.
With a slight turn of the camera, the screen has turned to the male protagonist Zhou Aniu, and the audience instantly understood that this should be the scene when Zhou Aniu talked about the ten rules to the successful man just now.
And of course, the person who spoke the lines became Zhou Aniu.
His voice is more sincere and sincere, unlike the successful man who said this line with a smile, or even with a mentality of "it feels a little funny, a little fun" Yes, when Zhou Aniu talked about these ten rules, he was very serious.
Because deep love is hidden in every rule he summed up.
"The second rule, don't give her more than three drinks, she will beat someone!"
"In a coffee shop, you must drink coffee, and never order cola and orange juice."
The camera turned again, and turned to the position of the heroine.
At this time, the soundtrack sounded, it was the melody of the song that everyone heard on the Spring Festival evening before, even if you can’t remember it, it doesn’t matter, as long as you have heard it before, you will definitely be familiar with it.
But at this moment, the one who was singing this song in a low and soft tone was a very delicate but very emotional male voice - those who were familiar with it could tell that it was Zhou Ye's voice.
Everything is so touching and so sad.
The male protagonist's voice continued: "If she hits you, you must pretend that it hurts. If it really hurts, then pretend that it doesn't hurt at all!"
"On the 100-day anniversary of our acquaintance, I must go to her class and give her a red rose, she will like it!"
The heroine's expression is getting more and more wrong. If you look carefully, there seems to be some tears in her eyes, although she is trying her best to cover it up by playing with her hair.
The piano accompaniment of the male voice is soft and lyrical.
Zhou Aniu continued to say: "You must learn to fencing and play squash and tennis! In addition, you must be prepared to go to jail. If she says she will kill you, don't take it seriously. It will make you feel better..."
…………
At this moment, it is simply impossible for you not to be emotional!
Even before Zhou A Niu could say this, in countless movie screening halls, many girls covered their mouths, their eye sockets turned red rapidly!
What's more, at this time, there are already quite a few girls with teary eyes!
Yes, they fell in love and killed each other, and there were a lot of jokes between them!
Yes, this girl is not gentle at all, and that boy is not masculine and domineering at all!
Yes, the short one hundred days of getting along between them was full of irony and nonsense all the time!
Yes, yes, yes!
However, no one can deny that the fights between them are called love!
The male protagonist Zhou A Niu obviously loves the female protagonist Song Mingxi deeply. The so-called ten rules are simply the most affectionate confession and the warmest waiting.
The heroine Song Mingxi also obviously loves the hero Zhou Aniu deeply, from her resistance to her parents when she ran out of the house in the rain, from the affectionate look at Zhou Aniu when she took the rose, from her Running to the bathroom alone, the helplessness and sadness when I looked at myself in the mirror after washing my face, and... from the repeated teasing and beatings!
This love is undeniable and cannot be concealed!
At this moment, let alone a girl with a sensitive and gentle heart, even a careless boy, facing such a deep love and such an affectionate confession, can't help but be moved!
…………
In Shuntian Mansion, Qin Jingjing covered her mouth, her big beautiful eyes were filled with tears, it seemed that those tears would flow down at any moment.
And Liao Min is certainly a person who has a lot of tears, at this moment, he can't help but feel awed.
Sad face.
In Guangzhou Mansion, Gao Lanlan had already covered her mouth, looking like she might cry at any moment, Xia Xiaoyue bit her lower lip tightly, stretched out her hand, and when she touched Lu Ping's hand, she grasped it tightly. Tight!
…………
On the big screen, Zhou Ye's emotional singing became more and more tender, with a bit of agitation, but sad to the bone.
The heroine Song Mingxi couldn't bear the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, she got up suddenly and left, leaving the successful man who was smiling just now, standing there alone in astonishment.
At this moment, Zhou Aniu's voice is still telling his ten rules: "If her shoes are uncomfortable, you have to change them with her!"
Song Mingxi ran frantically on the street, looking around while running, as if he was looking for the departing figure of the hero. At this time, Zhou Ye's singing became more and more intense and high-pitched, with a touch of affectionate calling from the bottom of his heart!
Zhou Aniu said: "Finally, she likes to write, so we must encourage her!"
The heroine Song Mingxi ran past a night market stall, but the camera didn't follow her, and for a moment, it became empty.
Zhou Ye's voice has obviously grown louder. No matter whether you have heard the song "I-Believe" before or not, whether you are familiar with it or not, whether you like it or not, at this moment, you can sing it deeply. In the heart of every audience!
The camera zoomed in, at the night market stall, where Song Mingxi had just ran past, the figure from the back who was pouring and drinking by himself was obviously Zhou Aniu!
Back view, just back view!
One cup, another cup!
When putting down the cup, Zhou Aniu's voice was obviously crying!
But this time, the director seemed to be very considerate, and didn't let this man, who has been trying to prove himself a big man, cry to the camera!
Even the sound of crying was indistinct.
At this point in the movie, the whole line burst into tears!
***
The writing was very emotional, so even though my arms were so sore that I couldn't stand it, I was still writing, and finally stopped when I wrote this paragraph.
I originally wanted to split it into two chapters. After all, many readers don’t care about the number of chapters, but only look at the number of chapters. "Decadent の Crazy Peak々" brother, I originally wanted to add an update to your lord tomorrow, but first, this chapter has more than 5,000 words, which is big enough. Enough weight, even if it is for you to add more!
Finally, although there are still three chapters today, it is already close to twelve thousand. Brothers, on the first day of the new year, Xiaodao sincerely asks for a monthly pass!
