Chapter 1124 I’m Not a Good Person

Sometimes it feels quite ironic...

Back then, Disney wanted to go international, so they chose "Mulan."

In order to make this animated film, which cost a lot of money from the beginning, to cleverly integrate Chinese elements while maintaining the tradition of Disney film works, the film's creative team hired a large number of writers, artists and historians from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to prepare the film. Protect and protect…

It was really invited, and it lasted two years, cost 70 million US dollars, and brought together more than 700 professionals at home and abroad...

The "Mulan" animated film eventually grossed over $300 million at the global box office when it was released that year.

At that time, Disney really listened to the advice. When the animated version of "Mulan" was first screened, there was a scene at the end where Mulan kissed her father on the cheek. However, the Chinese staff said it was unreasonable after watching it, and then this scene was finally was deleted.

Therefore, the animated "Mulan" finally received a good reputation. Although the domestic box office was average, the audience mostly gave positive reviews to it.

Why?

It's very simple. The animated version makes a big fuss about the fantasy attributes, blurs the background of the times, and enhances the fairy tale color.

From various gods to fantasy creatures such as Mushu dragons and little crickets, coupled with Disney-style singing and dancing, the first impression given by the animated "Mulan" is that it is a fairy tale with a strong fantasy color, and it is fake. of.

Coupled with the reasonable arrangement of the original plot and the interesting characters, the scene where Mulan rides her horse and whips her whip to rescue Li Xiang during the avalanche is simply the crowning moment of a Disney princess.

For Eastern Chinese audiences, although the taste is very strange, the entertainment is still there, and in our hearts we will treat it as a Disney cartoon and not take it seriously.

Therefore, if you want to make a good live-action version, you have two choices. One is to be careful and meticulous, and make the film "Flying thousands of miles to fight, and flying through the mountains." The new energy spreads to the golden watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes. A general dies in a hundred battles, a strong man returns in ten years! ’ The epic feeling…

Second, directly eliminate the epic feeling, follow the path of "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast", strengthen the fantasy color, and directly turn it into a fairy tale...

But judging from the results, the live-action version of "Mulan" is essentially a costume blockbuster. In the end, Western thinking is used to shoot Chinese culture, and it refuses to follow the fairy tale style and insists on making a blockbuster style. Moreover, the producers and directors are both Very tough: I thought China was like this, so I filmed like this...

The result is, neither fish nor fowl!

It is said that it is a children's movie, it is not cute or humorous;

epic?

From the protagonist to the villain, there is an air of mental retardation. The characters' logic is confusing, their emotions change abruptly, and the social structure is betrayed...

No idea.

No one can do it!

I really wonder what happened to Hollywood. The "Kung Fu Panda" series really amazed Shen Xudong back then!

How come after so many years, there is no progress at all, or even regression?

Maybe...the success of "Black Panther" made them think they had found a path——

…

After dinner, Liu Yifei wanted to go out for a walk, and Shen Xudong accompanied her.

Xiangshan in April was neither cold nor hot, and the breeze blew by, bringing with it a unique smell of a seaside city. The two of them walked and chatted.

They are also considered friends. The two chatted about what happened during the filming of "Dragon Movie"...

"I remember your opinion of Wang Yuyan at that time was that 'Wang Yuyan is the perfect girl'... In fact, if Wang Yuyan lacked a layer of obsession, this person would be very boring... Even the most boring girl in "Dragon Babu"... because She has no ego!”

"You don't like Wang Yuyan?"

"Yes...she belongs to that kind of set-up tool person, a character for Duan Yu to upgrade.

Since Duan Yu is still the protagonist, walking Duan Yu like a dog all the time will make readers very unhappy. And this person has no charisma and is so vulgar that it makes people uninterested..."

Liu Yifei was confused: "Don't you have any charisma?"

"What is her charisma?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "She is proficient in martial arts..."

"So what? Who can I beat?"

“…”

When Shen Xudong saw that she was silent, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any records of the roles you have played?"

"Why should I record it?"

"So...you are quick to act!"

"..." Liu Yifei felt that Shen Xudong's tone was wrong and asked, "Are you mocking me?"

"What do you think?"

Of course Shen Xudong is sarcastic...

I admire actors who can act quickly. Many times, when he reads a book, it is not so easy for him to act;

Even if you kill a script, you will be emotionally moved by the CP in the play...

We talk about entering the role. Entering the role is actually psychological empathy. You need to believe that you are this person and imagine her previous life experiences, life trajectory, and current mental state.

The first thing is to identify with what this character is doing, sympathize with him, and feel for him. In this process, it is very likely that he will do something that is consistent with the logic of his behavior.

Then you become him...

You don’t believe it yourself, but you still expect the audience to take it in?

Normally, it takes a process to detach after fully immersing yourself in it!

Therefore, actors who can appear and enter the play immediately... are more of a tool in the film and television process...

In his opinion, Liu Yifei is an actor of this level.

"Why do you say that about me? I haven't filmed any of your scenes since "The Condor"... What do you know..."

Shen Xudong immediately retorted: "Who said that... "Zhu Xian" invited you before, but you didn't agree!"

"I'm talking about acting skills..."

"Oh..." Shen Xudong asked directly: "What do you think of your acting skills?"

Liu Yifei responded confidently: "I think it's at least qualified!"

Shen Xudong was really shocked...

No, where did you get your confidence?

Then she started to talk about the characters in "Total War: Mountains and Seas", analyzing... Anyway, she should have said a lot, such as 'how to add points', 'how to complete the breakthrough of the character', 'and impress the audience'...

After she finished speaking, Shen Xudong said with emotion: "The actor's profession... really depends on talent. Some actors are born with a delicate and translucent heart. They can see flowers and grass, listen to the wind and rain, and catch a glimpse of the brick-and-mortar sellers and the fried snails." Everyone...can feel it...some of them are really not good!"

"You mean me?"

"I won't be emotional for no reason..." Shen Xudong did not deny it: "You have experienced too little!"

"It sounds like you have experienced a lot..." He muttered unconvincingly, and then nodded to himself as if he remembered something: "Yes, you have indeed experienced a lot!"

"What did you say?"

"...I remembered something,"

"Say it!"

"When we were filming "Dragon", I heard that your relationship with Liti Chung was... very good?"

The word 'special' was specially accented. Shen Xudong nodded: "...Yes, I slept with her for half a month...She is a Hong Kong actor, and she is not familiar with the place. I helped her to calm down and relieve the tension... Yes Problem?"

"…you you…"

"I never said I was a good person..."

I have been selling my house these past two days...

Hey, all kinds of troubles...
