Chapter 60 Script and Box Office(1/2)
There is a question on Zhihu: "Did the director think about it before the bad movie was shot?"
Well, there should be some!
Since they can become directors, it means that they have the qualities they need for a director, so they have their vision, aesthetics, and literary skills. Can't they see the unreasonable and bloody plays of a bad drama?
Then why do you still need to shoot? Are you not afraid that your reputation will be ruined?
Haha, so naive!
The core of a bad movie is to deceive the audience into entering the market and use any means. The experience of entering the market is not what these bad movie directors are concerned about. As for smashing the brand, they are not worried at all. They can always make money by playing according to the routine.
The consequence is that many people subconsciously think that this thing is a bad movie whenever they see a domestic film...
(The director here refers to a group of people with professional qualification certificates, not the legendary cross-border industry)
Xu Hui himself felt this way.
When compiling the first half of the story, he felt that this story could be given 80, but in the second half, the rhythm was a little unconsciously unable to hold on. There was really no way, there was too much content and more characters involved, so it was already difficult to straighten the relationship between these characters! We also had to put a new story under the premise, and the core of the new story could not be too different from the original work.
This is completely beyond Xu Hui's ability.
In fact, if he could think about it calmly at that time, he could have divided the first part into two parts. The first part would be Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng died, and the second part would then continue to film the love story of Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong.
This way, there are a lot of details that can be told, and the overall situation will not appear impatient.
But, this is a movie, not a TV series 1
If you really want to shoot like this, it’s better to shoot a TV series.
That's why Paohui forced the two stories together!
Fortunately, most viewers have read the original work and know the original story of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", so it is not difficult to understand...
But the same thing is said, since it has been made into a movie, it has been decided to re-compile the original story, which shows that Xu Hui is interested in creating a classic...
Obviously, he was a little fooled this time.
It may not be the original intention, but at least the result is indeed the case!
...
"Are you anything to scold you?"
Yaya was a little curious and reached out to grab Paohui's cell phone and looked through it.
"The overall feeling is that there are good sentences but no good chapters, and the story is a little scattered."
"It proves once again that Jin Yong is not suitable for making a movie, even if you are Xu Hui and Ning Hao!"
"The realm of this movie is really a world of difference compared to the original work! Of course that song is not bad!"
The contradictions mainly focus on two aspects: one is the scattered story, and the other is the deliberate character creation.
Of course, few people curse.
Everyone knows that "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is such a long time, and it is a relatively difficult thing to condense it into a movie!
As for competitors, they may still think of waiting and watching the wind direction. Of course, there must be some slander methods.
Many small media have already expressed in a very regretful tone that "Xu Hui encountered a reputation crisis" or "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" has a bad reputation in the midnight show, and the box office has suffered a Waterloo."
Many public accounts also followed the blind Ji Ba and analyzed that "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" may become a fracture point in Xu Hui's movie, just like "The Promise" is to Chen Kaige...
There are actually many people who like it at the critical moment.
What do you know about these people?
"Actually, I already knew that the first part of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" would not be too outstanding, so I fooled Ning Hao. I originally thought that he would not be too dark for me..."
"You're thinking too much, if you don't blacken you, who will you blacken?"
"…I am so honest, not absorbent, not prostitute, and not having extramarital affairs. Why do I want to hack me?"
→_→
Yaya glanced at him and everything was silent.
The entire business car seemed to be shocked by the declaration of the good man from Paohui. Are you a good man? Don’t you know what you think?
...
Long Aotian, a very arrogant name, was famous for its online literature during the wilderness period.
He is very strong when he appears, he has no sense in doing things, and can easily kill the enemy's protagonist with his halo without using his mind. In short, he can be considered a male version of "Mary Sue".
Generally, those who use this online name are teenagers who have a mild secondary disease in their subconscious mind.
However, there are exceptions. For example, a boy who appeared at the roadshow station of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" in Shanghai. He had long red hair, sharp eyes, a sighing stubble, and a weight of 200 pounds!
His name is Wu Long, 91, Cao Liu id: I am Long Aotian!
His identities are very diverse. In addition to the common Mask X Young Master, he is also a fan of Xu Hui. Of course, his profession is a reporter!
With the identity of a reporter, even if he has 3 skins and 4 skins, it can be said that he is to experience life!
If you are caught, just take out the reporter's certificate and say, "I'm here to make an undercover investigation!"
It is not normal for cultural people to go to sea to experience life...
Without a personal experience, how can you write a wonderful article?
"There are people who drink lightly, and they are hugging by the nephrite lamp. Looking back, we always feel the same, and it hurts.
Push the man gently. He gradually trembled when he heard the sound, and was slightly shocked. He tried to change the whole thing, and there was no gap. This time the flavor became crazy and moving.
The arms are close, the lips are close, and the tongue is playing with each other."
If Emperor Huizong of Song had no experience, he could write poems that had been passed down through the ages?
Damn, with such a movie fan, Paohui doesn't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate...
At this time, the roadshow of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was in the reporter's Q&A stage, and the host noticed that the handsome red-haired man with a 200-pound pound was so conspicuous.
"I want to ask, Director Xu Hui, this time "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" weakens the emotional line. Is it because there are too many plots you want to tell, so..."
"I understand what you mean."
Xu Hui looked at the eldest son of Zang Ai and nodded: "Actually, before filming Xiao Ao, I had two ideas. One was to shoot according to the plot, and the other was to completely subvert. The first part that everyone saw was that it did not violate the plot too much, and the second part was completely subverted. I think I was quite sure of the essence of the original work and showed a relatively cruel world!"
"…What is the plot of Lan Fenghuang and Yue Lingshan?"
"To add a little bit of entertainment! After all, this is a commercial film. If you really want to go to the cruel path, the audience may not be able to accept it."
"Actually, I would like to ask, does director Xu Hui have any idea to shoot a movie about homosexual love?"
"This depends on the situation. Maybe I will be in the mood one day. After all, men have a little lily tendency!"
The scene was a little noisy, probably not expecting Xu Hui to be so honest!
Men have many bad habits. Specifically for Xu Hui, he likes to play with his own fun, and he has the dream of three families and six concubines in his bones, etc.
Long Aotian sat down with satisfaction.
In the final analysis, the movie promotion should return to the movie itself. Although Long Aotian has made a bad head, the host needs to control the rhythm.
"Director, many people commented on the story of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" a bit messy. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"...I'm a fault. I am a fan of Jin Yong, so when I create the script, I unconsciously develop the plot according to my understanding, which has led to a bit too scattered in the overall story. However, I believe everyone should still understand it because the theme is very clear."
"Why do you want to film "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer"?"
"…Simply put, I just want to make a summary. The movies that have been filmed for five years are basically martial arts types. I especially want to try other styles of works. Jin Yong's martial arts is the most popular work, used to make a summary. I think it is appropriate, 'Flying snow and shooting white deer in the sky, and the laughing book god leans on the green mandarin orange'. Among them, the story of "The Smiling Proud Wanderer" is the closest to the real world. Of course, choosing this story is also caused by selfishness, because the first Jin Yong I watched was "The Smiling Proud Wanderer", and I have always wanted to shoot..."
...
After the Shanghai roadshow ended, under the leadership of security personnel, the main creators of the crew left the cinema and exited the exit position. They met the eldest son of the cultivating love.
"Do you have anything to ask?"
I was so impressed...
"Director Xu Hui, this is the script I wrote. See what you think. If possible, please let me be the director!"
As he spoke, the 200-pound young master x handed Xu Hui a thick stack of manuscripts on his hand, and at the same time, the U-disk was also available.
“…”My First Half of Life”?”
Xu Hui was a little surprised. "My First Half of Life" is of course a very good TV series. Even Xu Hui has watched several episodes. You must know that he never watches TV series!
However, the screenwriter of that TV series is a woman, and it seems to be named Qin Wen...
"Okay, if it's right, I'll contact you!"
Xu Hui nodded.
People should not behave like a person. It is always better to switch to a director than to cross-border industries that are unmatched!
In today's Chinese-speaking entertainment industry, talent reserves are very important.
...
Night, hotel.
Xu Hui was leaning against the sofa, holding the book "My First Half of Life" in his hand, but he had no idea of opening it.
