Chapter 1065 Speechless (34)

"Parasite's Oscar-winning PR can begin..."

"It's been arranged!"

"Well," after a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Don't worry about wasting money... Even if it doesn't work this year, there will still be next year..."

"I see."

In the original time and space, the biggest winner of this year's Oscar is "Birdman" directed by Alejandro...

This movie is very worthy of winning an award!

The male protagonist is obsessed with the art of drama. 20 years ago, he gave up his popular commercial film career and devoted himself to pure artistic pursuits. However, the reality made him difficult to move forward. 20 years were wasted and he encountered obstacles everywhere.

The bird-man image he imagined was a metaphor for fame and fortune, always trying to persuade him to put aside his drama ideals and return to the commercial film industry to regain his glamor and glory.

He finally returned to the theater, put aside his utilitarianism, and chose to do something truly meaningful: do some work that actually means something,

This was his first struggle to get rid of his utilitarianism.

The second struggle is to get rid of your own obsession.

For the sake of art, he risked all his fame, wealth, career and family, and gave almost everything. However, he was suppressed by the artistic authority and was not understood by the audience.

This made him feel particularly lost, painful, broken, and plunged into deep self-doubt.

The male protagonist finally walked onto the stage with a real gun, shot one at his ideal, another at the audience, and then pulled the trigger, killing himself with the bullet.

At this point, the male protagonist is truly freed.

Those so-called ideals, although they are in the name of art and appear noble, are ultimately a kind of persistence; being cynical, angrily pointing out that everything is wrong, and expecting the audience's love and recognition is nothing more than a prejudice.

But the funny thing is that his act of suicide stimulated the audience, and then the theater was full...

However, "Parasite" is not without its ability to fight...

Chen Xi suggested in a low voice: "Actually, we can invest in Li Min's new film..."

"Li Min is going to make a 120-frame movie. I am definitely against this!"

"Why? Isn't technological progress bad?"

"There are very few theaters around the world that can support 120-frame projection. What most people see is not a 120-frame movie, but a movie after adjusting the number of frames. Moreover, when I watch this kind of high-frame-rate movie Come on, it may not mean much to traditional movies. People still want to see a good story when watching movies, not all kinds of showy skills."

Although I admire Li Min’s exploration of technology...

120 frames definitely refreshes the visual experience compared to the widescreen technology of the year.

But today, what haven’t you seen?

VR is no longer new, and no one will regard 120 frames as a gimmick.

In addition, most movie theaters do not have the equipment to support such a high frame rate, and the ticket prices are still much more expensive than ordinary movies...

Anyway, Shen Xudong didn't feel the meaning!

The so-called impact of 120 frames on movies is not revolutionary in terms of aesthetics, film language, or technology. It is far inferior to the impact of "Avatar" on the film process.

It's not even an innovation, at most it's a useful attempt.

That's all.

From a visual point of view, from black and white to color, film is a huge revolution. This revolution is not about restoring reality better, but about having color, so that it can be expressed better. It enriches the director's means of expressing the world. . The addition of color enriches the performance.

What does 120 frames mean?

In fact, it means high definition...

Can one see a tear more clearly? See the wrinkles on your skin?

meaningless!

Chen Xi: "Bona invested..."

"It's understandable that Yu Dong wants to break into Hollywood!"

"...Okay, I'll leave first..."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Xudong called to her: "Will you accompany me to the premiere of "The Breakup Master" tonight?"

"Okay," Chen Xi agreed immediately, then raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it enough for your little assistant to accompany you?"

"She's not an insider!"

…

Shen Xudong regretted it a little. It didn't mean that Chen Duling was not good at business...

In fact, she got started very quickly, and her working ability is much better than that of Zhang Zhixi before. The problem is... Zhang Zhixi can play... This word is not accurate, she should be doing some artistic exchange work.

Chen Duling…

Shen Xudong really looks down on him!

He decisively refused even Tang Yan, let alone Chen Duling.

Bai Youshou...he really doesn't like it.

However, I still have to take her with me...

——She is still interning.

Shen Xudong is going to make it clear in another week and ask her if she wants to try to be an actress and arrange for her to play the role of Bai Yueguang in several ancient puppet shows...

However, she has a good background, and...as far as her looks are concerned, there is no competition other than a cool girl.

Bringing it back, Chen Duling got in the car and asked about "The Breakup Master"...

There are high expectations for this movie. After all, it is the second film directed and starred by Deng Chao - the first film "The Winner", which has a good reputation and box office.

"...It's best not to have too high expectations!"

"Why?"

"The screenwriter is Yu Baimei. I heard it's an adaptation of a play..."

"A play adaptation... "Charlotte's Sorrow" is still a play adaptation, right?"

"Yes..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "But "Charlotte" is the most valuable adaptation among Mahua dramas..."

“…”

Chen Duling didn't say anything. Chen Xi asked, "Can it exceed 500 million?"

"Five hundred million...more than 500 million, probably more than 800 million!"

"So fierce?"

"The Deng Dynasty is extremely popular now, and there are no big hits in September..."

“The Expendables 3 and War for the Planet of the Apes…”

"I'm talking about Chinese films!"

Chen Xi curled his lips and continued to look down at his phone. He was speechless all the way to Jiahe International Cinemas, where the premiere of "The Breakup Master" was held.

…

Reviewing "The Breakup Master" is actually quite boring...

This is not a comedy, this is a show of pretending to be crazy and stupid that was done 30 years ago. I felt bad when I saw Deng Chao pretending to be a baby. Sure enough, the subsequent development is so stupid that the audience will feel embarrassed.

All the jokes in this film focus on Deng Chao, but they are all very low-level jokes, such as cross-dressing, being ugly, and pretending to be stupid.

Many plots are not only useless for advancing the plot, but are also very blunt and make people feel physically uncomfortable...

It gives the impression that a comedy movie lover gets a chance to make a movie and stuffs it with all the bloody, touching, old and new jokes he has seen before.

Why does he seem to love money so much but he actually has a bedridden mother?

Fighting for Ye Xiaochun and Lao Liu;

Being stabbed and vomiting blood all over his face;

The vast crowd of people have been looking for you for a year, which is a very vulgar joke, and I was very happy with it.

And I especially like to make a reversal at the end of these "touching" paragraphs to create some jokes. If I do it once or twice, it will be boring if I do it again and again...

At this point, Yu Baimei also said, "We are just a farce, a comic farce. Is there anything wrong with that?" Who says farce is not a movie? ’

Translation: Who stipulates that trash can’t be a movie, and it can’t make money.
