Chapter 544 544. The clown really needs to be rejected 【Subscription】

Lu Chen also knew.

The "Joker" type of movie is not everyone's favorite, after all, it is too depressing, too dark and too depraved.

but.

In Lu Chen's opinion, whether you like it or not

It does not mean that they have any prejudice against this type of movie, on the contrary, they very much approve of the work "Joker".

Lots of people who didn't like this movie.

It must also be admitted that "Joker" is a work of art regardless of the director's style, camera lens language, actor performance, and script story weaving, and it is worthy of leaving a strong mark in film history.

The fact that the Venice Film Festival awarded the best film to "Joker" is enough to prove the success of the film's clown role experiment and the quality of the film.

but.

There are certainly controversies.

And it might be even bigger,

of course.

This kind of controversy is not purely aesthetic isolation, because everyone recognizes the artistic quality of the "Joker" film itself, but in terms of values, "Joker" gives a very vague definition.

This is just like a line of Arthur in the film: "What is funny and what is not funny is defined by you."

This sentence corresponds to the real and real world, alluding to our current so-called values.

It's just a definition,

What values ​​or ideologies are worthy of admiration are decided by our civilized society.
But does such a thing as value really exist?
Therefore, "Joker" challenges today's society with extremely negative values, that is, if a movie can really affect reality, then how fragile a civilized society would be.

This is exactly where "Joker" makes many people feel dangerous, because the film is full of the charm of violent art, and the role of the clown is perfectly played by Phoenix. Watching his performance the whole time, I was taken aback by his evilness.

That's why Lu Chen said that Tang Lei will decide how long the film will be made.

about the show,

The original version of Phoenix is ​​integrated into the "experiential" performance style this time, but it also subtly infiltrates some self-created "expressive" acting skills, which is very addictive to watch.

The biggest feature of the experience school is "real listening, real seeing and real feeling". Phoenix tortured himself into a sick skinny, with a dull expression with deeply sunken eye sockets, and walked like a heavy shot put on his feet. It can always let the audience experience the fate of Arthur's heavy struggle.

In the "expressionism" that emphasizes imitation, Phoenix also infiltrates some exaggerated dancing tributes to Chaplin when performing abnormal or insane states, which can make people feel the tension between comedy and tragedy.

Because the core of many representative works of Master Chaplin is actually tragedy.

Phoenix's performance is absolutely enchanted.

This is not only Lu Chen, but many viewers who have watched this movie have to be convinced.

Accompanied by the moaning cello soundtrack, in several brutal scenes of violence?
It's so real that many people can't bear to look directly at it, and it even makes people feel a little nauseous and disgusted.

Of course, this is entirely a compliment to Phoenix's performance. He completely gave his soul to the character, and gave the audience an experience of what it means to be a mentally ill patient.

therefore.

That is because of his demon-level performance.

After watching this movie, many viewers are discussing Phoenix and Heath Ledger's Joker, which one is better.

I believe that for most people,
It's a Sophie's choice,

In order to play the clown well, Phoenix and Heath Ledger entered the character's spiritual world through the suffering of abnormal people.

Phoenix shows more of Arthur's struggle and depression before becoming a clown,
The Heath Ledger version shows more of the clown's catharsis and confrontation with the world because the clown is already in perfect tense.

From the point of view of viewing entertainment, Heath Ledger's version of the clown, the fire of revenge has been burning in his heart for a long time,

So Heath Ledger's performance will be more direct and manic, and the impact will be stronger.

From the perspective of rich characters, after all, Phoenix is ​​the absolute protagonist, so the role of the clown looks more delicate and three-dimensional, and there is room for performance from more angles.

should say so,
The clowns of "Joker" and "The Dark Knight" are on two different performance stages,

The stage of "Joker" is wider and has more room for sinking,

Although the stage of "The Dark Knight" is small, Heath Ledger's dance is more intense.

As for the release issue.

how to say.

Lu Chen didn't plan to release it in China at all.

That's not true either.

It depends on the specific situation.If the above batch is approved, it will be released.

If not approved above,

There's no way that.

Although the censorship of movies in this world is loose, it is definitely not so loose.

Maybe there is another way.

It is two editions.

One version is released domestically and the other is released abroad.

It's just that if you do it like this!

It will definitely affect the status of this movie in the hearts of Chinese people.

therefore.

This is not Lu Chen's first choice.

His first choice was to make one.

If it cannot be shown in China, it will only be shown abroad.

After all, what is not available is always in turmoil.

It doesn't look too good to get the split version,

Therefore, it is better not to watch.

As for the battle against Kashen.

Lu Chen is not worried about this.

Just because "Joker" has the ability to harvest major awards around the world, he can't lose.

Maybe the box office will be close.

But movies are not just about box office.

And influence.

Words of influence.

Adding "Avatar 2" is not enough for it to play.

As for the box office.

In Lu Chen's view, it counts as a loss.

I can't lose anywhere,
The original Joker has a box office of 10 billion ugly dollars.

It should be no problem for him to have more than [-]-[-] million ugly dollars.

A box office of [-] billion ugly dollars.

Even if "Avatar 3" wins, how much can it win?

Lu Chen can guarantee it.

The total box office of "Avatar 3" will never exceed 20 billion U.S. dollars. Kashen has exhausted all the audience's expectations for him.

Not to mention that "Avatar 3" is still a sequel.

Unless the technology of "Avatar 3" is ushering in a big explosion.

Otherwise, it is basically impossible.

In terms of storytelling.

It's really not that Lu Chen looks down on Kashen, compared with many domestic directors.

He is not as good.

Many people say that "Avatar" can't mention the plot, if it mentions the plot, it is a masterpiece, if it mentions the plot, it is a bad movie?

this point.

In fact, there is still some truth.

The way of thinking of foreigners is very different from that of Chinese people, and wandering the earth can make us realize this clearly.

Therefore, the plots of many foreign films really cannot be studied deeply, especially from the perspective of Chinese people.

Explain "Avatar" from the perspective of Chinese people.

Can't watch at all.

therefore.

In Lu Chen's opinion.

Maybe this time Kashen is really going to fall hard.

The audience's sense of anticipation is gone.

I wouldn't take the initiative to walk into the cinema.

Not active.

I can only wait for the comments on the Internet to ferment!
If the reviews are good, it might even rekindle their interest.

Bad words.

I guess I don't even bother to look at it.

In this situation.

Lu Chen wasn't worried at all.

So what if they lose at the box office!It's not enough to win it back elsewhere.

Besides,

It was not released domestically.

You can't even open the gap, are you embarrassed to say you won?

Make two editions or something.

Sincerity is not Lu Chen's first choice.

Not easy to change.

The banning of "Joker" is not a matter of blood and violence at all.

It's a question of ideology.

This thing is not easy to handle.

It's basically a reshoot.

So, no need.

I remember seeing a joke a few days ago about the difference between Marvel and DC in character creation.

Ask, how to create a big villain?

Marvel: First of all, give him super intelligence, a powerful body, superb fighting skills, and infinite gems.

DC: Give him a bad life.

At first glance, this is an interesting joke.

actually not.

There are also discussions on topics similar to "save the painting or save the cat".

If you look at it this way.

will understand.

Clowns do need to be rejected.

As the first hero to realize the "Population Expansion Crisis of Titan Star", Thanos stood at the height of "stable development of the whole universe",

So the "cry from afar" is heard: too many people, the universe is crying.

Thus, Thanos had a great ideal: to sacrifice half of the human race to restore the ecological balance of the entire universe.

Such a tyrant is a terrible, great person.

In fact, clowns are like that too.

They discover the inadequacies of the world, and then do their own thing with their own ideas for a "great wish".

Everyone has their own conclusions about Thanos' evaluation. Although there are many bugs in Thanos' motivation, it is still successful in terms of character creation.

just,

If it can be said at this time that this is the rudimentary and insufficient theme setting of the Marvel series of movies, then when "Joker" also made the same mistake, how should we explain it?

"I just hope my death is worth more than my life."

Arthur wrote in his diary.

The society he lives in is deformed, and he has been trying to change it.

Change yourself to integrate into this society, or change this society.

Arthur accepted the invitation and came to Murray's talk show.

"Joker" dressed up to attend, and in front of the camera accused the indifferent people, the chaotic society and the hopeless Gotham City.

However meaningless.

He tried to end everything with suicide, but in the end, he only killed Murray and his own dream.

"Joker" put on a mask and rejoined the crowd.

He wants to establish a new order in the city with his followers...

In the end, he became the crazy, cruel, inhuman criminal we knew.

The routine of anti-hero character design is usually: the character design is a villain, but in the end he saved the people who had always regarded him as a monster and became the hero of everyone.

This is one of the most common stereotyped characters in commercial movies.

Including the just released "Nezha" also has a similar shadow.

And "Joker" is not, it is an unconventional movie.

Arthur's behavior of trying to integrate into this society seems to be "sinking",
But the "degenerate" appearance of the clown seems to be sublimating, as if he is pursuing the truth.

……

"If you do this, will domestic movie fans let you go?" Tang Lei, who knew what Lu Chen was thinking, couldn't help asking.

"It will be troublesome for such a movie to be released in China." Lu Chen said speechlessly.

"Then you are not afraid that the ugly country will trouble you?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"This is a mess!"

"I just made a movie, what are you doing? Besides, don't I still have to watch you if I can make it a success?"

Lu Chen said very calmly.

As long as the movie is not released in China, Lu Chen will not have such a big psychological burden.

It was released domestically and something happened.

He would be very guilty.

And what Lu Chen said was true.

Whether things can be done successfully depends on Tang Lei!
Some netizens once said that if Iron Man faced a villain like the Joker, it would only take a moment to kill him.

Batman fans say that it is not difficult to kill the clown, but the difficulty is to eliminate the influence of the clown.

Even killing him without removing the influence would just make his influence bigger, which is a victory for the Joker on a broader level.

Those words apply here as well.

How much impact "Joker" can have depends on how many people Tang Lei can resonate with.

"You're putting me under a lot of pressure!" Tang Lei curled his lips.

but.

Lu Chen could still see the truest thoughts in this guy's heart from the light revealed in his eyes.

"If it doesn't work, let's shoot "Jurassic Park 3". It's not that there are other choices." Lu Chen said intentionally.

"No need, I can still bear this little pressure!"

"Come on," Lu Chen shook his head: "If this wave is successful, you will be famous in history, and your acting skills will be regarded as classics by major acting academies, and might even be included in the textbooks of major acting academies. "

No kidding.

It's really possible.

Of course Tang Lei would not miss such a challenging role.

However, Lu Chen still reminded: "You have to take it easy, don't really..."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Tang Lei interrupted.

Lu Chen couldn't help but worry.

Why is Phoenix's performance called an enchanted performance.

It's because people are directly possessed by demons.

Just to accurately grasp the clown's laughter, Phoenix has done a lot of psychological analysis of pathological smiles. He studied the characteristics of pathological laughter by reading books and watching videos.

In the end, he presents the audience with a clown so insane, you can almost see the character's struggling soul through that forced laugh.

For the question of how to handle laughter,
Lu Chen couldn't say well either.

Tang Lei can only find it slowly and try.

simply put,
Such acting skills are beyond his comprehension.

After all, Lu Chen is the director.

Not an actor.

Although he also knows acting skills, such acting skills are obviously not something a director can master.

of course.

Lu Chen told Tang Lei unreservedly about his understanding of the clown, including some characteristics of the original Phoenix performance.

Lu Chen also told Tang Lei everything.

As for how to act, in order to achieve that effect.

He has to find out what feeling he feels.

Lu Chen really couldn't give him advice on this.
