Chapter 260 0259: Who Is Low-Level? Who Is High-Level?

Hangzhou, Yida Cinema in the city center.

"Second Uncle, are you satisfied with that movie "Painted Skin"?" Chen Qian and Chen Jianjun had just come out of the movie theater after watching it.

"What's the use of him being satisfied? What matters is that the audience is satisfied." Chen Jianjun smiled and said: "But having said that, that friend of mine is indeed as I said, a genius. He is the one who copied the story of "Painted Skin" in "Liao Zhai" The adaptation is very thoughtful.”

"Ah?" Chen Qian heard this and said slightly surprised: "Second uncle, I know "Liao Zhai" very well?"

Chen Jianjun nodded and said: "When they were studying, there were very few novels, basically those written by the ancients. He and his father read the Four Great Classics, "Liao Zhai", "The Surprise of the First Carving", "The Scholars" and so on. After reading it over and over, I found that although the original text of "Painted Skin" is not large, it is every word, the language is concise and vivid, and the characters are vividly created. The greedy and cowardly Wang Sheng, the vicious and cunning female ghost, and the virtuous and brave wife are all impressive. ”

Chen Qianshao had a chance to hear that, so he didn't really listen.

Chen Jianjun continued: "The film was undoubtedly successful in rewriting the characters in the novel. The changes in the images of Wang Sheng and Xiao Wei compared with the original work not only retained the core of the original story, but also made it very interesting. In order to further sublimate the story, Wang Sheng downplayed the weak scholar side in feudal society and showed more of the personality that men in the East should have. In dealing with the image of the female ghost, it is no longer in the novel. Just to tear apart people's hearts and tear people's hearts out of their cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, instead of making them interested in "cruel feelings", let the audience feel the humanity and warmth."

Chen Qian scratched his hair and said sheepishly: "It's true that my second uncle is great, but when he sees so many deep things, he just looks at the surface."

Chen Jianjun lifted his leg and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "At that age, I didn't treat many things with an entertainment mentality. It will be different when I am thirty or forty years old."

Chen Qian nodded, brought the topic back to the movie, and said: "He just took a look at the attendance rate. It is currently second only to "Meet the Martian" and the box office will not be bad."

Chen Jianjun asked casually: "How much was cast in the movie?"

Chen Gan replied: "Your 35 million, his 20 million, and the company's 20 million."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun asked: "Did the cost of 300 million absorb other investments?"

Chen Qian responded with "Yeah": "He heard that there are three companies that are very interested in Modu Taopiao Film and Television Culture, Yanjing Liying Huanyu Film, and Hengdian Film and Television Investment."

Chen Jianjun nodded and praised: "That friend of mine is very business-minded."

Chen Qian didn't understand and asked, "Where did you see it?"

Chen Jianjun explained: "The development path that does not go it alone will lead to more partners. If capital is excluded, Coco's current movie will not have an impact, but the resources in the industry will be suppressed to some extent, unless otherwise It’s so big that no amount of capital can shake it.”

Indeed, Django will set aside 20% of the cost of each movie for investment by outside companies.

The simple truth is, if I take them to play, they will come to play with me.

At the same time, Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei came out of another cinema.

After the premiere, the two went to see a movie, which has become a habit.

And what they watch is Saburo Ono's movie. In Zhou Lingwei's words, they want to see how much that arrogant guy weighs.

"He was between leg washes."

"He peed too much three times."

…

"We have already filmed the fourth part, and the ending is not the same."

"No, it's not fresh at all. I'm extremely disappointed."

…

"It feels like a matryoshka doll. I just changed the outline and filmed it."

"It doesn't matter if the plot is bad, it sounds awkward to have a foreign star do the dubbing. Kento Nakamura is acting, but Zhao Tianwen's voice is not present, and the drama is out of control every minute."

…

The audience who came out were discussing "Tokyo Bizarre 4" in groups of twos and threes.

"It seems..." Zhou Lingwei held Jiang Ge's leg and said, "The car has overturned."

Jiang Ge said objectively: "The plot connection is not very good. It is too sophisticated and expresses the thing of 'resentment' from a philosophical level..."

Having said that, he shook his head slightly and said: "Film is called the 'Seventh Art'. It breaks through the limitations of other traditional art categories in the sensory space, that is, literature conveys emotions through words, painting depicts the world visually, and music It can shock the soul through hearing, but it can’t be filmed for the audience.”

I mean, that's not what I meant. That movie is unpopular.

In fact, Saburo Ono put a lot of effort into "Tokyo Bizarre 4". From the script to props, actors, shooting, etc., he personally checked every detail and strived for excellence. He even incorporated Tsukimoto legends and culture into it. To illustrate the emergence and disappearance of resentment, even the soundtrack exaggerates and highlights the horror of resentment all the time.

However, not many people can understand that so-called "art".

Wrong.

Jiang Ge remembered an example that corresponded to this. There was a movie on the earth called "Bean's Golden Week". It was just like the film shot by the director in it. He was completely immersed in his own movie world. Can they understand it? Understand.

Zhou Lingwei smiled and said: "Then, my movie is stable again."

Jiang Ge pinched the center of her leg and said, "If you get your money back, you will make a profit, and leave the rest to the audience."

Zhou Lingwei scoffed and said, "How about a little bit of pursuit? First, surpass the box office of "Detective Chinatown", and then win the Eastern Spring Festival championship."

Jiang Ge shook his head and said: "It's difficult. The audience for horror movies is relatively small."

"Painted Skin" has a rating of 6.7 on Earth and has a mediocre reputation. Although the plot is focused on the three women, Xiao Wei, Pei Rong, and Xia Bing, and more scenes of battles of wits, courage, and skills are added, the story is not the same after all. For the story, the score could at most be raised to 7.5, which is barely a watchable film.

Back home, three o'clock in the morning.

Well, the film review that the film critics worked overtime to write is out.

Before going to bed, Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei spent a while in bed holding the tokens to read the reviews of so-called professionals.

There are good sayings, such as [Wei Chuan on Drama]: "What distinguishes a good movie from a bad one is nothing more than technology and story. For professional film critics, the main theme of "Painted Skin" is the old saying, 'It is difficult to paint a tiger's skin but its bones. "Knowing people but not knowing their hearts" uses the emotions of three women to show whether the human heart cannot be described. Even if Xiao Wei is a fox demon who has practiced for thousands of years, she can use magic to become a peerless beauty, but she cannot become a king. The ruthless person.”

There are also some who say that it is not good, such as [Ximeng Film and Television]: "If you look at it purely as a movie, "Painted Skin" can only be rated 3 points at best. Is it true that today's domestic films only require sad lines to be spoken without laughter? Is it okay if it doesn’t have a hair style that makes people cringe and eye makeup that’s shocking? It would be okay if it doesn’t make people feel disgusted with blood and brains all over the screen.”
