This director needs to apologize

Chapter 290 Control and harness impulses

Chen Yiming had an expression on his face that said, "I have nothing to lose", and Xiangrui immediately quit.

"Everyone is eager to help, Yiming, don't let the fun down."

Chen Yiming smiled and said, "The first female director in China is determined to prove herself. I am indeed willing to participate in this grand event. Aren't I worried that it will be inappropriate?"

Lin Xiao couldn't see Chen Yiming's pretentiousness and said directly, "Let it go if you feel angry, don't hide it."

"That's right, tell me quickly." Others also joined in the condemnation.

An Xixi held the tea cup and watched the excitement. The two apple muscles on her cheeks were plump and upward, and her whole body was filled with happiness.

Chen Yiming then stopped asking questions and answered bluntly, "As far as I know, since the restructuring at the beginning of the century, there has been a decline in the number of movies with the Magic City flavor. Regardless of the box office and influence, Magic Circle seems to even have its own film festival. Can't hold on any longer.

We have all seen Wang Jiawei's new film years ago. "The Legend of the Palace" is not a story about a magical city. There is one in the Northeast, one in South China, and one in Hong Kong City, but there is no magical city. "

He picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks, chewed it slowly, and then said slowly, "Xiangrui, if you want to set up your project, there is really no need to consider Bo Jue's opinion. Let Da Zhuang and Ma Er Ye talk about it first." It’s the right way.”

The former is judged by a large number of viewers, while the latter is judged by a small group of judges. Speaking of which, the latter is the one who takes advantage. After all, it is difficult to reconcile the opinions of all.

He thought for a while and said, "Since you are devoted to pursuing pure film art, then the theme should be expressed first.

Then he looked at Chen Yiming, "But don't try to escape. Aren't we all just discussing the plot now? You are a gold medal screenwriter."

Therefore, I suggest you think about it carefully. This story has been lingering in your mind for thirty years. You are not afraid to think about it for another five or eight years. Why rush it? "

Lin Xiao, Da Zhuang and Gu Yuehe looked thoughtful. All three of them were over three years old and had direct or indirect dealings with "relevant departments". Naturally, they knew that Chen Yiming was not just talking nonsense.

Xiaomei, Liu Dongjun and An Xixi looked confused. Some nodded, some shook their heads, and some nodded first and then shook their heads. In one word, they were confused.

Since it is an award-winning film, you must first understand the judges responsible for awarding awards. Which are the top three in Europe? In terms of Oscars, is it the foreign language film award or the professional award? You have to be targeted. "

I think that commercial films for the market and artistic films for film festivals are completely equal, and there is no question of who is inferior and who is noble.

Especially for Da Zhuang, Bo Jue was just a fan of policies when it first started operating. He was very familiar with the caliber and changes of the Magic City in the field of literature and art. As soon as Chen Yiming mentioned it, Mr. Ma knew that this so-called "Magic City Past" was risky. , and not too small.

Xiangrui was still confused, but Lin Xiao had already reacted first. He was indeed the Qianliju of the Demonic Shadow Factory.

Listening to what you just discussed, whether it is buying and selling, fighting in the stock market, or private dealings outside the market, they are all full of sidelines that are neither black nor white.

"Yiming is right, Xiaoxiang. When you finish the book, you should discuss it with the factory first. Shanghai-style movies cannot be interrupted and then unable to be picked up."

I can modify "Mulan" under the pretext that any similarities are purely coincidental. Good luck, you might as well go home and ask your dad if the big guys the protagonist of the story has dealt with are willing to change their appearance and let others judge them on the big screen. !

Yiming, tell me something serious. Putting aside censorship, how should this script be written? "

First of all, let me say that what I say next only represents my personal opinion, and any offense is purely unintentional.

Only a dozen years have passed, and most of the influential people in the scene back then are still alive. Is it really appropriate to film this story now?

This means that if the fist doesn't land on you, you will never know how much it hurts!
If the right person doesn't care, what else can Chen Yiming say? Then let's just let policy be policy and technology be technology.

Chen Yiming looked around the dining table and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, before you think about how to shoot, shouldn't you first think about whether the project will be successful or not?
Since the film was taken at the end of the last century, it is naturally a realistic subject, and there are many minefields here.

Chen Yiming poured a ladle of cold water down, and everyone in the private room had mixed reactions.

Lin Xiao clearly exposed Chen Yiming's Gu Zuoyan, but the latter failed to change the topic and could only talk about dry stuff.

Only Xiangrui still had an unconvinced look on his face, and pouted and said, "Why, it's only five or eight years. Which of the people and things in my story were not photographed in the early years?
They have said that this is a story that I have cherished from my heart, and if I don’t film it, I won’t be able to understand my thoughts.

Xiangrui was a little disapproving and raised his hand and asked, "Back then, when you were playing "Holiday in the Magic City" and "1951", you were obviously going to participate in whichever one you hit. How could you be on target?"

Chen Yiming curled his lips, shrugged and spread his hands three times, "I didn't go to the exhibition just to win awards. Isn't it because I don't have enough fame to promote myself, so I have no choice but to rely on foreigners to respect myself.

As for winning the prize in the end, that's another thing later. Just think of it as my luck. Back to the topic, if your film is about a heroine, then I strongly recommend you consider the Venice Film Festival in Apennines.

Feminism is Venice’s exclusive domain, and female directors are obviously more popular.

Relatively speaking, Berlin Taishengzhi, with your subject matter, if you want to win an award there, don't even think about passing the review in China.

The limelight in Cannes changes so fast, and it changes every year, so it is difficult to keep track of the rhythm. However, if you don’t expect the main competition unit, but go for attention or the Directors’ Fortnight, then I didn’t say that .

Oscar's words, I'm sorry to tell you, are hopeless.

I have to say that you have been tricked by me. The success of "1951" by relying on technology is almost equivalent to eliminating all possibilities for Chinese films to win awards again. Of course you can immigrate, so there are no taboos and you may even get bonus points. "

Chen Yiming's ridicule naturally failed to win even a hint of support. From individuals to families, no one here is a Run person.

On the other hand, Xiangrui, the person involved, was too absorbed in listening to express his dissatisfaction with Chen Yiming.

She followed her own train of thought and urged, "Don't focus on the exhibitors and tell me how to write the script."

Chen Yiming said disapprovingly, "This thing about giving prizes is just to do what someone likes.

The European premiere of a female-themed film is inseparable from the focus on human nature.

Your original story frame is already complete. What needs to be filled in and polished is mainly the characters’ behavioral motivations.

First of all, few Western commentators are materialists. What they believe in is not social determinism, but human determinism. People must have original sin before subsequent abnormal behaviors can be understood.

In the script, your protagonist must not have a healthy personality when he appears, but must have character flaws and psychological trauma. This can be stated or implied in the movie, or even omitted, but the logic must be consistent.

Then, the most critical plot turn in the mid-term is to open a restaurant. There must be logical foreshadowing and opportunities. I suggest digging deep into the original desire, rather than superficial love or career.

In this regard, the opposition between the sexes must be highlighted and the particularity of women's thinking must be highlighted. The more perverted the better, as long as it can be justified.

For example, compared to the professional pleasure of matching partners, the human satisfaction of spying on secrets is more special and easier to impress the judges. "

Chen Yiming paused for a moment before speaking, and used his eyes to consult everyone in front of the dinner table who looked dull, especially Fu Ruixiang, who had a tangled expression.

Xiangrui hesitated to speak and hesitated for a while before he hesitated and said, "Yi Ming, the literary film I understand seems to be different from what you are talking about. Even if the original intention is to win an award, there is no need to be so blatant about it. Would you like to give me a hug?"

"Ha!" Chen Yiming sneered, "If it's not for the prize, is it really for the feelings? Yes, Miss Fu is quite wealthy, and she does have the capital to suffocate for her dreams.

Then there is no need for you to consider our opinions, and you can even dismiss the opinions of the review committee. Anyway, you can take pictures as you like, and at worst, you can collect them and watch them for yourself. "

Xiangrui's injured face turned pale. An Xixi couldn't bear to look at it, and lightly slapped Chen Yiming with his elbow, "If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Chen Yiming sighed and raised his hands towards Xiangrui and An Xixi, indicating that he understood.

"Xiangrui, movies have always been popular culture and cannot be artistic at their core. Directors really want to make movies for the audience, but they can't be fooled by those who are pretentious.

Those people don't need to pay attention to the audience at all, because they can live well by relying on us.

Do you think it’s awkward for me to make up a story like that just now? Just be awkward! It means you haven’t been completely brainwashed by the small circle.

It's just a matter of participating in the film festival once or twice to understand what's going on. You don't have to be obsessed with winning awards. It's best to just let nature take its course.

If you sincerely ask me to give you advice, then I can only say that this story is a bit out of date at this stage, and you can polish it more carefully before the time is right.

Just looking at your narrative, it is currently just a fragmented memory that has not been integrated into the background of the times or typical characters. Your subjective will has not been fully projected onto it.

Creation often originates from inner impulse, but it cannot stop at impulse. Creators must learn to control and harness it. "
