Chapter 196
"This is the boss of our company, Mr. Su." Zhou Jianren pointed to Su Chen and Tang Wanru, and introduced respectively: "This is the general manager, Ms. Mary."

Teacher Su stretched out his hand: "You two, I have admired your name for a long time."

Although a little reluctant, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng stood up and shook hands with Teacher Su in turn, but they did not reach out to hit the smiling face.

At the same time, he shook hands with Tang Wanru: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Then everyone took their seats.

"I came here today to inspect the company. I heard that Manager Zhou invited the two of you to dinner, so Mary and I came here with the cheek. Please forgive me."

Teacher Su had a sunny smile on his face: "Speaking of which, I am also a fan of Director Xu, especially the "Shu Mountain" you filmed before."

As soon as this movie was mentioned, Tsui Hark's face changed instantly.

Because after the movie was released, both word of mouth and box office hit the street, and this unique work was made by him in cooperation with "Golden Harvest" without telling the bosses of "New Art City".

On the current screen, the concept of time travel is relatively avant-garde.

Boss Zou also made a wrong decision, that is, to suggest that the part of the title crossing should be subtracted.

However, the deletion of the opening story led to confusion in the subsequent plot.

In addition, because of the problems in the plot, there was a lot of scolding directly. Although the special effects are very good, the word of mouth and box office are both Waterloo.

The applause of a few people is not popular, but it is only because of Tsui Hark's wonderful special effects in the film.

Most people still cursed bloody.

Now that Mr. Su mentioned this matter, he was undoubtedly adding salt to Tsui Hark's wound.

Even Shi Nansheng frowned slightly, feeling that the man in front of him couldn't speak very well. If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have stood up and left.

Zhou Jianren's face was also a little unhappy, after all, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng were his friends.

Teacher Su continued: "Director Xu, from this movie, I see two things about future movies."

"Oh?" Tsui Hark's expression softened slightly, and he was also aroused by interest: "I don't know what it is? Can Mr. Su explain it in more detail."

"That's martial arts and special effects!" Teacher Su said seriously: "In this movie, Director Xu has his own unique insights into these two elements, and he is also presenting them with your unique lens language.

The reason why you hit the street is not that your camera language is not good, but that when this film is released, some parts may be cut, which leads to some confusion in the subsequent plot, and the plot itself is also somewhat flawed, so will fail miserably. "

"Indeed." Tsui Hark nodded, his expression relaxed.

Seeing this scene, the stones in Zhou Jianren and Tang Wanru's hearts fell.

Shi Nansheng on the side also looked better.

"Then I wonder if Mr. Su can analyze it?" Tsui Hark continued to ask.

As a director, he still has the mind he should have. At the same time, he forgot to ask Mr. Su and Tang Wanru the real purpose of coming here.

Teacher Su nodded: "Then I'll just mention my opinion. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, Director Xu."

Tsui Hark smiled: "Being able to see the two elements in my movie shows that Mr. Su also has his own opinions, so I would also like to hear your opinions."

"The reasons for the failure of this movie, I think, are as follows. Although you added your own understanding of martial arts to this movie, I feel that it has not escaped the martial arts pattern of Mr. Hu Jinquan and Mr. Zhang Che." Teacher Su first proposed a few reasons.

Tsui Hark nodded: "Indeed, because I haven't formed my own martial arts world, I still haven't been able to get rid of their pattern."

"Second point, when you make movies about heroes, you always have a heroic spirit, however, you are also affected by this in expressing your emotions, sometimes it seems rough, sometimes it seems too hasty.

At the same time, it pursues novelty too much, but loses it strangely. Although the rhythm of the whole film is bright, it seems rushed, without changes in rhythm. Too much talk about the truth in the film may not even be clear to you.

In addition, Director Xu, you like to imagine too much, and you lose the reality. You pursue gorgeousness and beauty, but you forget the plot. "

Teacher Su talked a lot: "Also, I also saw that you added some blunt plots for the box office, such as catching fish in the water, but these plots are redundant, which may be a fault brought out from "Best Partner".

In the end, there are too many characters in this movie, and the fast pace of the whole movie makes the plot a bit confusing. These are my understanding of the reasons why this movie hit the street. "

After listening to Teacher Su's words, Tang Wanru was dumbfounded.

I thought the boss only knew how to manage the company, but I didn't expect to have such a unique insight into movies.

Shi Nansheng was also a little dazed when he heard it. Could it be that this movie really has so many problems?

She secretly glanced at Zhou Jianren and made eye contact: Your boss knows movies so well?
Zhou Jianren shook his head: I don't know...

Tsui Hark pondered for a while, then nodded: "Yes, after serious reflection, the problems you mentioned, Mr. Su, do exist."

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jianren hurriedly served the dishes.

"Then I don't know what Mr. Su's understanding of martial arts is?" Director Xu Da is very interested in talking about movies.

Isn't the fish hooked?
Teacher Su laughed secretly, I will use my understanding of martial arts to fool you, and it will take many years to fully explore these understandings.

Zhou Jianren hurriedly poured tea for everyone: "Let's have a cup of tea first, please."

Everyone picked up their cups and took a sip each.

After putting down the cup, Teacher Su said: "If you ask me about my understanding of martial arts, then I think martial arts is like the ancients writing poems. It is very short but can express certain feelings, such as family affection, friendship, and patriotism. , but the most romantic thing is the love between men and women in martial arts.”

"Yes!" Director Xu especially agreed with this sentence.

Because many of his later films were about these, such as the "Once Upon a Time" series, such as "Swordsman" and so on.

For a moment, Director Xu suddenly felt that Teacher Su in front of him was like his bosom friend.

"And if I want to talk about my understanding of martial arts films, and to present the martial arts world in my heart in the film, then I shouldn't be as tough as Jackie Chan.

One should not pay attention to one move and one style of real kung fu, but to deify and transform martial arts, and use special effects and editing methods to create difficult movements that exceed the limit of the human body.

At the same time, it is necessary to create such highly ornamental scenes as actors go up to the sky and down to the ground suddenly, the palms of the martial arts masters are blowing with wind, and they have the power to overwhelm mountains and seas, their legs are strong, and they have the power to destroy the dead and the dead. Visual effects.

Coupled with the fresh and lively rhythm, this is a martial arts movie, and adding my previous understanding is my understanding of martial arts movies. "Su Da said flickeringly.

Director Xu nodded again and again: "Yes, martial arts should be a happy world, not a hard bridge and a hard horse. By the way, I don't know if Mr. Su is here this time..."
