China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 755: Have you caught the pigeon spirit?
Cao Qing was shocked after watching Hua Jin's performance just now.

Apart from the word "awesome", he couldn't find any other adjectives to express his feelings.

He had a hunch that the performance just now would most likely become a top-notch scene that would amaze countless audiences after the movie was released.

This famous scene can also become good promotional material.

Don’t underestimate this point. Many viewers saw famous scenes on certain short video platforms or websites after the movie was released, and then became interested in the movie. Finally, they bought movie tickets to enter the theater and became loyal fans of the movie.

Take the previous life as an example. It is theoretically impossible for a movie like "Joker" to have a global box office of more than 1 billion US dollars.

Because this movie is not a purely commercial film, in many places, the director did not give real answers, but left it to the audience to judge for themselves.

For example, Arthur's mother said that when she was young, she was an employee of Wayne Group.

She had a relationship with Thomas Wayne, the chairman of Wayne Group and later Batman's father. Arthur's biological father was Thomas Wayne.

According to Thomas Wayne's explanation, Arthur's mother did work for Wayne Group, but she was just a mentally ill patient suffering from delusions.

Everything was imagined by Arthur's mother, so Thomas Wayne has nothing to do with Arthur's mother.

Neither the director nor the screenwriter gave an answer in the movie, nor did they clearly tell the audience what was going on.

Whichever one the audience thinks is true is true.

This setting of giving two different answers and letting the audience find the 'correct' answer themselves occurs several times in this movie.

To put it simply, many people don't understand this movie when they watch it for the first time.

Later, some media responsible for the research said that the rise of new media played an important role in the film’s box office success.

Various emerging video websites have spawned a large number of up-hosts and bloggers who explain movies from various angles.

Video bloggers from the film and television area around the world are explaining this movie, making it easy for the audience to understand the plot. At the same time, it has brought a lot of popularity to the movie and has also achieved good publicity effects.

New media has become a very important channel for film promotion.

New media bloggers gain playback and traffic by explaining movies, and movies gain more exposure and traffic, which is a win-win situation for everyone.

But sometimes a lot of unpleasant things happen.

For example, some directors, even though they have made a terrible movie, still try to cover everyone's mouths and stop them from talking about it.

A blogger made a video criticizing their movie, and they were devastated. So they sent a lawyer's letter to the platform, reporting it and demanding that the platform remove the video.

Later, some official media were forced to step in and end the farce.

The official media’s attitude is that those big directors’ eating habits are too ugly.

When bloggers praise your movies and it can bring bonuses to your movies, why don’t you report it and have it removed from the shelves?

When someone touches your sore spot, you start reporting it. Don't be so hypocritical.

However, there is no solution to this kind of problem in the end.

Bloggers should complain as they should, and directors should report videos that are unfavorable to them.

It’s just that the actions have become more low-key, with fewer lawyers’ letters being sent, and reports are made secretly instead of loudly.

"How was my performance just now?" Hua Jin asked when he saw that everyone around him looked shocked.

Just now he had completely immersed himself in the role and referred to the dance moves that Li Yu demonstrated to him.

I only used 40% to 50% as reference, and the rest was just improvisation based on my feelings.

He himself didn't know how he performed. What is improvisation? It means to perform according to your mood on the spot.

If you ask him to do it again, it would be difficult for him to replicate it.

"Perfect, passed in one take." This is the highest praise Li Yu has given to this film since the filming began.

Hua Jin went behind the monitor and watched the replay, and was also a little surprised.

It turns out that his performance just now was so awesome.

When he saw this perfect shot, he knew he was one step closer to the Oscar for Best Actor.

Hua Jin looked at Li Yu with burning eyes: "Director, you are such a genius. You can actually set up such a scene, such a scene, and such a dance."

Hua Jin's improvisational dance was amazing, but he didn't dare to take all the credit for himself.

From his perspective, it was Li Yu who arranged such a scene for him, designed such a play for him, demonstrated how to dance, and provided him with a lot of inspiration.

Therefore, Hua Jin sincerely believed that director Li Yu deserved the greatest credit for filming such a legendary scene, and he was at most second.

Cao Qing also admires Li Yu very much. They are both directors. If he were to do it, he feels that he could not design such great shots, nor could he shoot such provocative and shocking clips.

The gap between him and Li Yu was indeed huge.

A few days later, Hua Jin was interviewed by a well-known media outlet.

The reporter asked him why he didn't act as a pigeon this time when filming "Joker" since he used to act as a pigeon.

The reporter would ask this kind of question, it must be because Hua Jin has a criminal record.

This guy's acting skills are strong, but his work ethic isn't that great.

Because he always likes to take on a movie, and then when it's about to start filming, he starts to run away and comes up with all kinds of excuses to try to get away and not act.

In the previous life, I took on the project "Calling Friends" but then wanted to quit.

The same thing happened with "Napoleon", he wanted to run away again.

The way he does things is almost causing public outrage in the industry. If it weren't for his good acting skills and strong professional ability, no one would be willing to deal with someone like him who has no sense of contract.

There is also a saying that he may have some problems with his brain.

He wanted to pursue perfection and was afraid that he would not be able to bring the character to life, so he often backed down at the last minute.

It really forced him onto the 'battlefield' and brought out his potential, and he was able to complete the task brilliantly.

It feels a bit like being terribly strong yet terribly cowardly.

But he didn't play Li Yu, and he didn't run away in the movie "Joker".

That's why the media found it incredible.

It's so weird that a king of pigeons doesn't pigeon anymore. Could it be that Li Yu has some leverage over Hua Jin?
Otherwise it is difficult to explain why Hua Jin didn't run away.

According to the usual routine, Hua Jin should have backed out before the filming started, and then Li Yu said he would sue him and make him pay the penalty for breach of contract.

Then after some negotiations, would he come back unwillingly to finish filming the movie?

Hua Jin is an old pigeon fancier and he is used to people complaining about his past as a pigeon fancier.

He replied calmly, "This time it's different. Li is a very talented director. His talent is not inferior to any top director in Hollywood. I feel safe when I shoot his movie."
