Chapter 257 Happy Conversation (44)

Tian Zhuangzhuang is the idol of this group of people!

In fact, he is also Shen Xudong's idol...

How should I put it, everyone always admires those who dare to do extraordinary things.

Although it is impossible to fully understand the meaning of "Horse Thief" and "Hunting Ground Zasa".

On the one hand, it may be caused by the influence of poor quality pictures, on the other hand, it is not sure whether others can understand it.

But no matter what, Tian Zhuangzhuang has always been a noble representative of the fifth generation. He has become a symbol of sacrifice against the system. He has been insulted and damaged, and has become a flag...

And what’s remarkable about Tian Zhuangzhuangte is the structure—several Sixth Generation films were produced under his care. He was the director of Beijing Film Studio and persuaded Han Shanping, director of Beijing Film Studio at the time, to invest in several 85-level directors. , and made several movies, including "The Girl with a Pole" by Wang Xiaoshuai, "Grown Up" by Mr. Lu, "Orphan Tears" directed by Zhou Li...

There is a pattern…

Have you seen any of the poetry masters have served as supervisors or co-producers?

Of course, the premise of these things is that this matter has nothing to do with me!

Shen Xudong is really not optimistic that Tian Zhuangzhuang can make the "The Aviator" in his mind...

It can be roughly judged from "Wu Qingyuan" that he is not very good at making movies now. "Wu Qingyuan": does not explain the background of the story, does not set up the characters to appear, no events, no details, bits and pieces, general talks, and comprehensive. , equal to less than…

It can be interpreted as ‘shooting is a state’…

But... "The Aviator" only has one status: romance!

These scripts give...

No need to add any further details!

So, after meeting Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang, Shen Xudong played "Spring in a Small Town" first...

"I saw the 1948 version at the Film Archive..."

"What do you think of the remake? Tell the truth!"

"...Without the historical background, without the heavy feeling..."

Shen Xudong tells the truth...

Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed: "Indeed... In fact, I also regret it a bit... But I thought about this for a long time, and later I kept telling the media that I actually suddenly understood that I was going to see Zhang Hua'er. No matter how good my painting is, it is a fake..."

“…preconceived notions are really hard to get past…”

…

There is a program called "Director Please Advice", and director Bi Zhifei's remake is "Spring in a Small Town"...

To be honest, Tian Zhuangzhuang's version of "Spring in a Small Town" did not change the film itself any more than Bi Zhifei did.

If Tian Zhuangzhuang goes to that show with the remake of "Spring in a Small Town"...

So, will he suffer the same treatment as Bi Zhifei?

Will Wang Xudong tell him: You made this film in Meiya?

Will Li Chengru tell him: I think you are stupid because of studying?

Probably not...

Oh, they made an appointment at a small teahouse near the Central Theater, drinking tea and chatting...

Instead of talking about "The Aviator" directly, we talked about movies...

"I can't watch Hollywood blockbusters, they always feel too simple..."

"That's because you have been with movies all your life and regard movies as the most important thing. In fact, for most viewers, movies are just a way of life... Commercial films mess with the character logic of the characters in order to advance the plot, but for busy people For office workers who have been busy for a week, this is the only way to relax on weekends... If you ask people who have been busy for a week to watch a movie that analyzes human nature and society, isn't this going to make them feel troubled!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang smiled and then said: "There is no movie in this world that can satisfy everyone. Some people like it and some people hate it. It is a matter of course. Just like when I made "Blue Kite", at first I I felt like I resisted, and I am a warrior, but then I gradually felt that it was quite meaningless, as not many people seemed to care about this!"

Shen Xudong was a little surprised by what he said...

He has always thought that the Wen Ge sentiment of fifth-generation directors is actually quite boring!

The loss and pain of elites of a certain era have been repeatedly grafted into all their movies.

That era may have been an absurd era, but if you have been repeatedly using the scars of this era for spiritual nourishment, is it really advanced?

In a sense, it is also a kind of consumption, right?

When the public doesn’t buy into the so-called feelings of Brother Wen...

Maybe the only ones who can be moved are you, right?

Tian Zhuangzhuang changed the subject: "...What is your positioning on "The Aviator"?"

"A romantic epic for little people!"

"romantic?"

"The dream of flying... the protagonist has wasted his whole life for his dream of flying... It may seem like a fool's behavior to ordinary people, but the background is realism. There is such a character in reality, and the whole drama immediately rises. Poetic, poetic romance!”

Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at him: "... I want to make it like Don Quixote... Do you think it's romantic?"

Shen Xudong was a little surprised: "Don Quixote?"

Well…

That sounds a bit like it!

Li Mingqi, the protagonist of "The Aviator", has always wanted to build a plane. No matter what, Don Quixote is also immersed in his imaginary world, completely ignoring the original appearance of the world.

When others reminded him that it was just a windmill, he still imagined it as an enemy and stepped forward to attack...

It is not impossible to interpret it from this perspective!

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "But I think it's better to be more romantic...Li Mingqi actually makes money...and I have investigated and found that there are many private aircraft manufacturers in China. In Xu Xiaoxiao's photo album "Aeronautics in the Backyard", eight were recorded The dream-making history of peasant aviators, various weird and imaginative airplanes, are filled with surreal flying stories.”

"…real?"

"Of course, I brought this photo album..."

Shen Xudong took out a thick book from his bag and handed it to Tian Zhuangzhuang with both hands...

Tian Zhuangzhuang asked Shen Xudong what he thought of "The Aviator" while flipping through it. Shen Xudong did not hide anything: "I want to use a segmented approach. The beginning is in 1982, telling why the protagonist is obsessed with airplanes, and then in 1992, Li Mingqi saw it before getting married. According to a report, Cao Zhengshu, a farmer in Anxian County, Sichuan, started building airplanes in his humble workshop in 1984. He has failed four test flights so far... He ignited the idea of ​​building airplanes, and then broke off the engagement. He wanted to build airplanes... He would definitely experience it. Many setbacks, ridicule and incomprehension from fellow villagers... He left his hometown and went to Shenzhen..."

"How to finish?"

"...The ending was in 2003. He fell ill and had half a year to go. He had to fly the plane he made. Then he succeeded and flew into the sun..."

What he said was a bit dry, but Tian Zhuangzhuang understood what he meant and nodded: "It's a very good idea..."

"I also think so...it can be interspersed with some social changes...just like "Forrest Gump", except that the protagonist is not Forrest Gump and cannot participate in major historical events..."

Hearing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed: "...have you thought about it all?"

"...Is it different from what you expected?"

"You've thought about it, you can take the photo yourself!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "...I don't have time to make movies..."

"Why don't you have time to make a movie? In this way, I will be your producer...you make the movie..."

Relatives are coming home...

I really can’t stop peeing...
