Chapter 628 Problem

This is the work of a female director.

The movie is adapted from the classic film from the beginning of the century - "Don't Guess What Women Are Thinking"

Although it is a change, the context of the story has undergone relatively big changes.

In the new version, the heroine has an independent and self-reliant character on the surface, but she shows the image of a pastoral female boxer.

I only know how to ask for things, but I don’t know that you have to pay to gain something.

The image of the male protagonist is even more outrageous. He is a proper scumbag with nothing but good looks. The movie also spends a lot of time whitewashing the scumbag, but the scale is still measured and does not confuse right and wrong.

I just want to say that although scumbags are hateful, they are also pitiable.

To be honest, the filming of this story was actually quite interesting. It had everything a comedy movie should have, and the techniques were in place.

However, this three views have exploded.

But no one in the judges' box spoke yet.

Luo Quan looked up and looked around, then directly picked up the words:

“There is nothing wrong with the quality of this short film, but the butt is a little crooked.

Let me put it bluntly, the three views are not correct. "

These two simple sentences made the judges look a little surprised.

In fact, everyone can see it, but they don't particularly want to wade into the muddy water. They are all waiting for the first bird to take the initiative to attract firepower.

But I didn't expect Luo Quan to be the first person, but it was in line with her temper.

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Zhao Yu, who shot this short film, grinned.

"In the short film, you wanted to talk about something about women's rights, but what came out was that women are lazy, money-worshipping, and emotionally irresponsible. I think this kind of movie is very bad."

Luo Quan's tone was calm, but his words were already very serious.

Zhao Yugang was about to refute, but Luo Quan signaled that she had not finished speaking, and continued: "I have always felt that in addition to using stories to move the audience or provide visual stimulation, movies can sometimes also have some educational significance.

For example, the shaping and correction of three views, telling people what is right and what is wrong.

The director is the backbone of the entire movie. If the backbone is crooked, the movie may also be crooked. "

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my idea." Zhao Yu looked straight at Luo Quan when he got the chance to speak.

The atmosphere seemed a bit tense. The judges next to him saw that something was wrong and were thinking about how to persuade him.

"Isn't this a big problem?" Luo Quan laughed angrily, "You say that the heroine works hard, but she just can't be reused, and she feels that society discriminates against her.

As for the plot you filmed, while other employees were working, the heroine was either on the phone or sending text messages, or she was having those Mary Sue plots with the president.

What kind of company would value such employees? Will she be promoted?

There is also a relationship line. The heroine has a boyfriend, but when faced with the pursuit of the scumbag CEO, she has never made it clear. She obviously has her feet in two different places. Finally, she said that women have to think carefully in relationships and cannot be blind. .

So, is this your approach?

There are many other issues, so I won’t mention them all. "

Luo Quan said a lot in one breath, which was well-reasoned and well-founded. He had obviously thought of the wording since watching the movie, which shows that there were quite a lot of opinions.

"Then what do you think a true feminist image looks like, and what would it look like if you came to take the photo?" Zhao Yu was scolded by Luo Quan, got angry, and asked Luo Quan directly.

That is to say, the variety show has a script, and she can't just tell Luo Quan what to do, otherwise she really wants Luo Quan to show off his skills.

"Are we going to film this again?" Luo Quan laughed, "Have you seen my "The Queen Wears Chanel"? Andy is an example.

In order to get promoted, she worked hard and loved what she did.

Emotionally, there are so many temptations in the fashion industry but I have never fallen deeply into them.

And in the end, she was not obsessed with the world of money and found her true heart.

I think this is what women's rights should be like, that is, using hard work to get rewards, rather than just talking about gains and not about obligations. "

After he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

Zhao Yu's face turned green and white. She wanted to refute, but if she continued, it would be unreasonable.

Originally, she took this photo just to capture the fans of female boxers on Weibo and attract traffic.

This kind of topic is inherently sensitive, and even if there are issues with her outlook on the film, as long as the quality of the film is good, there won't be much criticism.

The fact that the judges didn't say anything at first was proof that no one really wanted to get involved in this.

But I didn't expect that Luo Quan didn't believe in this evil at all. He bluntly said that this was a wrong value, not only against her, but also against the female boxers on Weibo.

After talking to this point, how could she refute?

Zhao Yu left the stage without even saying thank you for the comment.

"Don't be angry. Director Zhao Yu is young and energetic. He was the same in the last issue. He had an argument with a guest." Director Wang Jing was generous and fat, and he also acted as a peacemaker.

"I'm not angry." Luo Quan spread his hands with a relaxed look on his face, "I've always dealt with the situation rather than the person. If there are any problems with the shooting, I must point it out."

Luo Quan said this very frankly, because there is a problem with this issue.

The show continues with the third movie.

A literary film that tells the story of an ordinary ordinary citizen's fulfilling day.

The beginning is a little sad, but the ending is heartwarming.

However, the expression methods in many places are very obscure, similar to the first movie of the variety show, and many scenes are incomprehensible, and the audience simply cannot understand it.

Director Wu directly replied on stage: "It's okay if you don't understand, because this is for people who can understand."

Quite a bit like the emperor's new clothes.

Several judges took turns to evaluate, and overall they had mixed reviews.

When there are differences of opinion, naturally there will be arguments.

The first debate in this episode: Is it important to be easy to understand?

Director Wu's point of view is that literary films are not mass art in the first place. Just like those abstract paintings, there are many people who don't understand it, but this does not affect its value, because there will always be people who understand.

It’s this question of elegance and vulgarity again.

This is a very common and acute controversial point in many fields of art.

Luo Quan has said many times when it comes to music that she has always wanted her music to be accessible to both refined and popular people, rather than being deliberately sophisticated.

And of course the same attitude is true when it comes to movies.

So after others finished speaking, she started by asking Director Wu:

"The artistic films you make in the future will not go to theaters."

"Of course I have to, otherwise how can we let more people know its value?" Director Wu answered without hesitation.

Luo Quan asked again: "Can the audience who were deceived by the trailers and posters get a refund if they can't understand the movie?"

Director Wu was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Yes, people thought this trailer was quite interesting, but after watching it they found that they couldn’t understand it at all.

If you buy an item that doesn't meet your expectations, you can return it.

But if you watched a movie that didn’t meet your expectations, can you get a refund?

Director Wu was stunned by the question, his mouth moved for a long time and he didn't know how to answer.

However, one of the film critics who supported him among the public judges stood up and said, "Why can't we get a refund for so many bad domestic films? It's always a matter of fighting or suffering."

“After watching a bad movie, fans will rave about the director and the actors, and will pin it on the pillar of shame with a score of 2 to 3 points.

And you just need to say that this is a literary film, and it is not meant to be understood by the public, so you can fool it. Do you think it is reasonable?

Since you know that the public cannot understand your film, why should it be released in public theaters? Wouldn't it be better to have a private professional appreciation? "

It was still a sharp rebuttal, and still no one could refute it.

Luo Quan took a breath and continued: "For theater movies, your first priority is to make what you shoot can be understood by the majority of the group, because you are a consumer product and you have to be responsible for consumers. Highbrow is no excuse.

Besides, making a movie is not a charade. It doesn’t mean that the more unpredictable you make it, the more meaningful it will be.

In many domestic and foreign literary films, many metaphors are traceable and can be deduced, rather than like the emperor's new clothes, which can only be understood by so-called people who understand.

I think this is a problem that many literary and artistic young people in China need to face, not only in movies, but also in music and painting.

Of course, I'm talking about the kind that's going to be sold on the shelves. "

Luo Quan has made two movies and spoken twice, and what he said is definitely thought-provoking.

This makes the entire variety show recording look a little different.

There was also controversy in the first two issues, and it was quite intense.

Everyone pointed out the director's problems and extended their criticism to the current situation of the entire Chinese film industry.

But after criticizing the problem, it doesn't propose a solution or say what should be done. This is always too much.

Luo Quan quickly pointed out the problem and proposed a solution.

This is the change she brought to this show.

At the show, many experienced directors and film critics secretly nodded for her.

You can see so clearly at such a young age, no wonder you can make so many good movies, you are so famous!

This time, Director Wu did not leave the meeting angrily like Director Zhao before.

Instead, he expressed his gratitude to Luo Quan very solemnly, frankly stated his feelings and problems, and accepted the evaluation humbly.

Of course, I didn't say how to change it. I guess I'm still a little stubborn inside.

But when it comes to art, anyone with a bit of a will is very stubborn.

That's understandable.

Soon, the fourth stubborn director came on stage. It was Director Fei who had built up an extremely huge momentum before the recording of the program.

The work he brought was a short film adapted from the famous book "Fortress Besieged".

After reading it, everyone was stunned.

This lens movement technique and the light and shadow texture of the lens are a big improvement compared to previous works.

The story is also told quite well, complete and dramatic. Although it is a bit bland, blandness means that there won't be too many mistakes.

There is no doubt that Director Fei's adaptation is quite successful, and there is not much fault to be found.

But Luo Quan came here specifically to find fault today.

"There's nothing wrong with anything else. It's just this line that doesn't work well." Luo Quan pointed to the center of the problem without mercy.

"If I remember correctly, the original work of "Fortress Besieged" tells a story from the last century. The protagonist of your movie is obviously not dressed as a modern person. Since you want to film a story from the last century, you still have to pay attention to the language. .

The words of the people in the short film are too modern and have a great sense of violation. "

To be honest, Luo Quan is actually a bit picky.

After all, this is a movie adaptation, and the characters’ speech is not completely modern, it just doesn’t feel that period. It’s a flaw that can’t be concealed.

But Luo Quan feels that this greatly affects the look and feel and is a major flaw.

Director Fei now had something to say and responded directly: "I think the lines might not be so easy to understand if they were told the way they were spoken a hundred years ago.

Besides, you haven’t been to a hundred years ago, so how do you know what they said? "

"It's true that I have never been there, but I know for sure that people a hundred years ago would not use "go" or "cow" as modal particles."

Luo Quan said with a smile, and the other judges also laughed.

This is indeed a flaw, but it probably has something to do with the actor's spoken language. Director Fei probably didn't pay special attention when editing.

However, Director Fei was not stumped and continued to ask: "According to what you said, making period films should be like what ancient articles said, and only those who know everything about it are correct. Those made now are all incorrect." Respect historical facts?”

Luo Quan smiled slightly: "What you said is exactly wrong. The old version of the Four Great Classics TV series was very sophisticated in its lines, which was in line with the language habits of people of that era.

Because classical Chinese has always been a written language, common people who speak like that still mostly use daily spoken language, and the dialects vary depending on the region.

It's just that most of the costume films made nowadays don't pay attention to this point, but a considerable number of them still notice it. "

"I still can't agree that this has a big impact. Are lines that are not in line with the times really that important?" Director Fei didn't think this was a problem and was still arrogant.

Luo Quan shook his head: "It really has a great influence. Every era has its own background. Sometimes just one or two simple lines that fit the scene can clearly explain the background of the entire era, region and even the characters. .”

"You can do it, but I may not have the ability to choose words and make sentences." Director Fei smiled helplessly and said the words that the audience had been waiting for a long time.

In order to match the effect of the show, the audience looked surprised.

The guests also became serious and looked at Luo Quan.

"Okay, I'll demonstrate it, using a scene from the upcoming movie "Farewell My Concubine"." Luo Quan nodded and accepted the challenge.

The climax of the first half of this episode is here.

In the confrontation between Luo Quan and Director Fei, there was no telling who would win or lose.

To really know, we have to see what kind of movie Luo Quan can make.

Is it really so simple and effective to use appropriate language to show the background of the times?

Many people are skeptical.
