Chapter 995 Heavy Industry Movie (Part 1) (34)
In the original space and time, after "The Killer" exploded, many people asked, "Would it be better if Shen Teng was cast as Wei Xiang?" ’
Actually...no.
This movie has a basic logic: the male protagonist is an 'idiot', or a fool...
Because he was stupid, he believed the lies of the Milan siblings that were full of loopholes, and he was serious and conscientious.
This is where the laughter comes from: the more serious he is, the more ridiculous his performance becomes.
Shen Teng... No matter the movie he stars in or his image in variety shows, he has nothing to do with "Han Biao"...
Basically, he was the one who lied to others, so how could others lie to him?
Of course, Shen Xudong has no intention of letting Shen Teng go - letting him play Harvey, the unreliable gang boss!
"If you act, Mary will have to leave... If Ma Li can't hold you down, she will have to be replaced by Gong Li..."
"Gong Li?" Shen Teng asked anxiously: "Is Gong Li coming to act?"
Shen Xudong was speechless: "...Didn't you say you didn't want to act?"
"If Teacher Gong Li comes, then I will definitely play in person!"
"...Forget it..." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I just mentioned casually... Gong Li can't do comedy!"
Shen Teng thoughtfully said: "That's right, she really wasn't good at "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"..."
Many people feel that if "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance" does not have Gong Li, they feel that this drama will become another "East and West". It is slapstick and slapstick from beginning to end. It is crazy and lively. It is lively after watching it. No aftertaste.
What about Qiuxiang's image, which just plays a role in relieving the rhythm and is the only pure character in the play. I feel that this is the love Tang Bohu is looking for. ’
But...which goddess has never played a serious person?
Lao Wang, Qiu Shuzhen, Anita Mui, Guan Zhilin, Zhang Min, Cai Shaofen, no one of these people will be worse than the current effect.
There is no unique feeling at all.
Qiuxiang was directly transformed into a vase, which was not even as interesting as Sister Pomegranate!
Shen Xudong continued: "Okay, let's go back. I am the producer of this drama "The Killer"... Wei Xiang is the male lead... But you have to come over and play a role!"
"Of course...which character?"
"Boss, Harvey!"
"…OK."
…
In Shen Xudong's view, the value of the Happy Mahua brand is inferior to that of Yan Fei and Peng Damo...
So far, the two most significant dramas of Happy Twist are "Charlotte's Trouble" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", both of which are directed and written by them!
What the two films have in common is that they both take the perspective of the citizen class and daydreams as their themes.
In fact, Happy Twist was born in stage drama and likes to do gimmicks, because the unrestrained imagination on stage can actually be understood due to the form of the performance.
But movies can’t do that. If the movie is slightly anti-intellectual, the audience will be keenly aware of it.
To a certain extent, Mahua is still very bold and ambitious - the light effects engineers of "Walking Alone on the Moon" used hundreds of them. China Film's financial report clearly stated the cost of 500 million+, and the kangaroo special effects are definitely at the top level in the country. Just compare Lei Zhenzi and Kangaroo in "Fengshen". They are both biological special effects. Are the technical levels of the same era?
But the most important thing about pure comedy is empathy!
You have to let the audience get your point...
Blind Ji Ba can’t imagine!
"Super Family" is a typical example: it pulls out a theme that cannot be resonated with at all, and fictionalizes a strong protagonist who has no feet on the ground. As for you, you can independently invent a financial management APP that covers the country and even Russia. This is pure genius. But due to the weak script, he played a fool with an unstable temper...
——I remember that in the screening room, it couldn’t be said to be deathly silent, it could only be said to be the whispers of the ancient gods. Well, a comedy movie directly silenced people.
Song Yang is still not as good as Yan Fei and Peng Damo...
Moreover, Ma Hua's later stage appearance was too ugly. Probably because of the huge success of "Shameful Iron Fist", Ma Hua began to want to package all the actors and harvest them in batches...
It's very similar to the time when Uncle Benshan was eager to promote Xiao Shenyang and all the brothers as cash cows. In the end, even Xiao Shenyang disappeared.
Greed, and thus short-sightedness, is the root cause of the collapse of all content economies!
…
Guo Fan can't sleep recently...
"Fire" is about to be released. The project was established in 2011, started shooting in the summer of 2011, and was completed at the beginning of 2012. Later, it took half a month of reshoots, and 11 months of post-production work...
It can be said that he devoted all his efforts to "Earth Fire" and reorganized various departments from scratch...
However, each department will encounter difficulties at the beginning. Industrialization is about standardizing messy things so that the content can be quantified and divided, and only then can there be division of labor.
No one has done this before!
It’s really difficult…
Even though "Earth Fire" has reached its limit, according to producer Shen Xudong: "Earth Fire" can only be said to be construction site-oriented at best, far from being industrialized! But it’s also a good start!
Regarding the movie itself, Guo Fan has no regrets - it is the limit of what he can do, and if he does it again, the result will be the same.
Do your best, be clear in your heart, and leave no regrets. This is what Shen Xudong requires of him!
Although several internal test screenings, including those in theaters, received high reviews,... Guo Fan always felt that it was a kind of comfort, with some sympathy and understanding!
Because people in the industry will know exactly how difficult it is!
As the release was approaching, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn't sleep at all...
He simply didn't sleep anymore, opened his phone, and prepared to check Weibo - the recent hot topic was scolding 'private customization'. He was about to check out the new performance of netizens, and it reminded him that the people he followed had updated new content. He didn't want to see it at first. The...well, it's Shen Xudong!
Big boss... let’s take a look!
A long Weibo post titled ‘Domestic Heavy Industry Movie. ’
‘Heavy industry’?
He hurriedly continued reading. Shen Xudong proposed the concept of 'industrial upgrading': "Hero" in 2002 kicked off the domestic film business, giving everyone hope and laying the foundation for the vigorous development of Chinese films today.
I want to say that if a country wants to become a strong country, it must develop heavy industry.
The same goes for movies.
If China wants to transform from a big film country to a powerful film country, it is not enough to make small efforts. It must develop a film industry. There must be three to five heavy industry films every year, so as to complete the industrial upgrading!
In my opinion, heavy industry movies are Hollywood blockbusters, or A-level productions, high-concept, high-tech, and high-investment top commercial films, mainly science fiction, fantasy, and action movies. These types of movies have no cultural barriers and are suitable for everyone. World release…
Light industrial films are films from countries like South Korea and France: mainly dramas, comedies, and literary films.
There are only two countries in the world that are capable of producing heavy industry films, one is the United States and the other is China. The reason is very simple: only these two countries have a market large enough to accommodate large-investment films!
