Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1511 The embryonic form of nonsensical comedy
"Crack..."

This scene took about ten shots back and forth, and Lin Daoqiu was quite satisfied with the final result.

Liu Zhenwei, who has been standing next to the camera, watched the whole filming process. Judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to have realized something from this scene.

"This style of performance is really exaggerated, and it's a bit over the top, but the effect is really good."

When Xu Xiaoming heard that Lin Daoqiu was shooting in the studio, he couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.

For the scene shot by Lin Daoqiu, Xu Xiaoming still likes it very much, at least it is really easy to make people laugh while watching it.

"This is just a small episode. It doesn't mean that we have to do it all. I hope you can think about how to be funny from the context of this scene."

Many people at the scene were thoughtful after watching it. Everyone has watched many movies before, and there are many types of comedy styles.

But like Lin Daoqiu's exaggerated style, they still don't have much contact with it.

If a TV series or a movie is shot in this style, then the effect will be very interesting.

After letting Zhou Xingchi and the others go back to continue class, Lin Daoqiu called Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to the office.

"The sitcom "Neighborhood" is just the beginning, whether it is good or not depends on how much you can comprehend."

If you haven't watched the scene just now, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, and Liu Zhenwei really don't know what kind of exaggerated comedy style Lin Daoqiu wants.

However, after they finished reading, they each had some insights, although not many, but at least they didn't need to catch flies blindfolded.

"The task Brother Qiu entrusted to us this time is really heavy enough, but if this movie can be made well, then this type of comedy will definitely be very popular in the future."

Wen Jun looked very excited. After all, this is an innovation in film style. Although he can't guarantee that he will be able to make a good film by then, it is a great encouragement for him to have the opportunity to film.

That's the benefit of being by Lin Daoqiu's side. Otherwise, Wen Jun wouldn't know what he would do, whether he would continue to be a screenwriter.

Perhaps Brother Fei Long had already broken one of his hands, and then he didn't know where to make a living.

"You don't need to have too much pressure. I believe you will be able to make this movie well, but whether it can meet my standards depends on your own ability."

Lin Daoqiu continued: "The reason why big names are not allowed to participate is that I hope to experiment with young people to see if this style of comedy will be accepted by the public."

It turned out that the reason why Lin Daoqiu did not let those big-name actors participate in the starring role of this play was because he wanted the audience to focus on these young people.

If Fatty and others are brought in as leading actors, then most of the attention will probably be on those big-name actors.

As for those Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Weijian, I am afraid that the degree of attention they can receive is limited. If they are simply let them take the lead.

"Don't worry, Brother Qiu, we already understand what you mean. We won't have any objections to letting Zhou Xingchi and the others take the lead, and we will definitely make this movie well."

Zheng Danrui already understood Lin Daoqiu's thoughts, and he also very much agreed with Lin Daoqiu's arrangement.

"Awei, you need to spend more time on the script and plot arrangement this time. I believe that with your talent, you will be able to write a good plot."

Lin Daoqiu still has great confidence in Liu Zhenwei. After all, Liu Zhenwei is one of the representatives of nonsensical comedies in the future.

When later generations were interviewed, Liu Zhenwei once revealed his thoughts on nonsensical comedy.

"Nonsense has been misunderstood by everyone. It seems that nonsense is illogical, but in my movie, what you call nonsense is actually logical, such as Zhou Xingchi and Tony Leung's 'sausage mouth'. If Tony Leung hadn't been poisoned, he wouldn't have There are sausage mouths; and in "Kung Fu", Zhou Xingchi was bitten by a poisonous snake and turned into a sausage mouth. It is all logical. People say this is a spoof, but it is not."

He also gave an example: "'Love you for 1 years' has little resonance in Wong Kar Wai's movies, but it has a great resonance in my movies. So, this is not a spoof of him, but a kind of ridicule among friends. It's emotional."

For nonsensical comedies, Liu Zhenwei has his own ideas, but that is already behind.

Now Liu Zhenwei is still in the very early stage of nonsensical comedy, and even now he is about to start writing the script of "The Neighbors in the Street" requested by Lin Daoqiu.

And this time it was a complete overhaul, many places in the front had to be re-edited, coupled with the exaggerated comedy style requested by Lin Daoqiu, this was definitely a big condition for Liu Zhenwei.

"If the ratings of the TV series are good, then I plan to make some nonsensical comedy movies."

If the front is just dessert, Lin Daoqiu's last sentence is the real main course.

No matter how good a TV series is, you can't make much money. Only by making movies can you get real benefits.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui haven't been able to write any good films in the past few years, and even if they were filmed, they would only have a box office of several million. As for Liu Zhenwei, there is not a single film that can be sold.

If this type of comedy is really popular by then, they will definitely make a lot of money by then.

"However, all of this is just a prototype right now. If the TV series you produce don't respond well, then I'm afraid you won't have your share at that time."

Lin Daoqiu's words are just scaring them. After all, the most popular style of Xiangjiang movies in the next 20 years will be nonsensical comedies.

After that, countless big bad movies were born, and they were horrible movies. You can tell at a glance that they were made to make money. There are even many movie stars who have made that type of movie.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know if it was a good thing for him to bring out this type of comedy early, but now that he has done so, there is no medicine for regret.

When filming that scene just now, Lin Daoqiu had been paying attention to Zhou Xingchi's acting skills.

Even Lin Daoqiu didn't point out the other party when filming just now, but let Zhou Xingchi act according to his own ideas.

Of course, the final effect did not achieve the effect Lin Daoqiu wanted to see, and it can even be said to be just satisfactory.

But Lin Daoqiu actually didn't have much hope for Zhou Xingchi at the beginning, because he knew very well that if Zhou Xingchi wanted to perform well, he still lacked a helper by his side.
