When everyone was watching, there was nothing particularly enthusiastic about it, and Li Sheng had already been mentally prepared. There was no way, this was a cultural difference.

On the other hand, the ones on Hong Kong Island seem quite interesting, but how should I put it, if Wang Mao doesn't watch the black humor, it should be the second half that really makes people feel a little bit.

Because the screenwriter of Wang Mao's play is talking about his original screenwriter, not Li Sheng's copycat.

In fact, after 05, when the entire Chinese-language film industry really took off and became commercialized, many types of films began to mature.

Comedy is also one of them, and Wang Mao is one of the rectification tides.

When it comes to comedies, I have to say Zhou Xingxing.

Most of Zhou Xingxing's early works were excrement, fart and nonsense, and there were all kinds of dirty jokes, but after 1995, he founded Xinghui and began to embark on the road of exploration.

In the impression of mainlanders, the most classic must be Westward Journey. It is undeniable that the love between Zhizunbao and Zixia, the kind of life and death, can be remembered more than ten years later.

Of course, it cannot be denied that a comedy film has become a classic romance film, which is also a great irony.

Of course, this also reflects a problem from another aspect, that is, Zhou Xingxing's vision and imagination as a filmmaker still have skills.

Closer to home, why do you say Zhou Xingxing?

Let's take a look at Zhou Xingxing's works since Westward Journey.

"The King of Comedy", "Shaolin Soccer", "God of Cookery" and so on, I have to say that Zhou Xingxing's output is not high, you can say it is hunger marketing, or it can be said that it is slow work and meticulous work.

But we look at these few movies where Zhou Xingxing has always dominated the plot and guide. As comedies, the box office of these movies is enough to prove whether they are successful.

What we are going to analyze in depth is the overall structure of the movie.

Zhou Xingxing, who has matured, always thinks, I don't want to be a clown all my life, he is trying to change himself, his image, acting style, and the structure of the plot.

Since Zhou Xingxing started making his own movies, all his movies can be described in four words.

Laugh with tears!

Zhou Xingxing reasonably added his own style and some insights from life into his movies, and then combined them to make you laugh and cry at the same time, so that you can taste the chicken soup for the soul while laughing.

Undoubtedly, he succeeded, and his achievements in his previous life are the proof.

As a master of comedy, Zhou Xingxing has never been a bad imitator. Naturally, his films will be used as textbooks for research and in-depth analysis. Moreover, some people have successfully learned some essence from them.

For example, those who were famous for playing comedy later understood the truth of laughing with tears, for example, those few who made their fortunes by relying on comedy before Li Sheng was reborn.

Dapeng, "Pancake Man" has a final box office of 12 billion!
Shen Teng, "Charlotte Annoyance", 14.4 billion!
Bald Xu, "Too Embarrassed", 12.7 billion!
……

The above are all successful touches ~ the success of a trace of comedy, and Wang Mao, as a product after the information explosion, and after these films, and there are devils who came as a reference for classics, is also this type of film .

After all, the title of the best Anti-Japanese War movie after the devils came was not given for nothing, but Li Sheng felt that it was just an exaggeration of the devils.

First, the devils are more cruel, and second, the devils have a more luxurious lineup. In addition, in that era, if his time was pushed back, or Wang Mao was advanced, in fact Wang Mao is now advanced, and the effect has also come out.

Li Sheng's Wang Mao's box office has exceeded [-] million, and he has applied for places in major film exhibitions. Li Sheng himself has become a favorite of China Film Group.

However, Jiang Wen was still struggling to find a way out, but he couldn't pass the audit, and he couldn't participate in the exhibition!There is no show!
Stand tall!

……

If Wang Mao's role is also summed up, the whole drama is full of black humor. If these humors are removed, it can be roughly summarized as a journey of spiritual salvation for a mud-legged man who knows kung fu in the countryside, and then the story of revenge after awakening. .

Soul, redemption, revenge, these words are very touching in the dictionary of Westerners, and Li Sheng can also point to some of these words when translating.

Facts have proved that Li Sheng is correct.

Since Wang Mao, played by Li Sheng, joined the New Fourth Army, the style of the entire film has been quietly changing. Many of the present are professional filmmakers, so it is not difficult to see the change in the overall film style.

Just before they figured it out, the plot of the whole movie took a turn for the worse, and the killing began.

At the beginning, the people who made them happy fell under the butcher's knife one by one. At the moment when Xing, played by Mr. Zhou, was dragged away, the hoarse cry from the heart brought the massacre to an end. .

Li Sheng noticed that Milla Jovovich, who was sitting not far from him, had sat up straight, resting her chin on one hand, staring at the screen, and then looked at the few in front, It's about the same. Denzel Washington is even more serious, sitting upright. Li Sheng can't see his face, but he will be very serious when he thinks about it.

As an American, but also a black American, he should feel deeply about being bullied and oppressed.

……

As soon as the scene changed, Yamashita Futake, played by Lu Fangsheng, came out of the house with a cold face, followed by a few Japanese soldiers, who were still buttoning up their buttons.

In this scene, Li Sheng used the Spring and Autumn style of writing, there is no way, not to mention the strange and complicated relationship between Mr. Zhou and him, even if it doesn't matter, he is not willing to let her show too much in this scene.

The ground was full of pools of blood, Mr. Zhou was lying on his side in the pool of blood, with a ~silk~no~ hanging on his body, this is a close-up from far and near.

The shocking and bloody picture is even more depressing after using the black and white filter, as if another stone was pressed on your heart when you were out of breath.

Li Sheng obviously heard the voice of Milla Jovovich taking a deep breath. Maybe, this time, he really has a chance, Li Sheng thought suddenly.

The video is still going on!

Wang Mao came back, saw the tragedy at home, hugged the dead Xing and wanted to cry without tears, and the depression was accelerated to an extreme!
He picked up a hatchet and appeared in front of the Japanese. Milla Jovovich and Denzel Washington were all looking forward to it. A hearty revenge.

Kill him without leaving a piece of armor behind, and pay with blood!kill kill kill!

Li Sheng didn't let them down either, at first the two devils were killed so neatly!
Milla Jovovich patted her thigh, "Good! kill-him!"

However, the next moment, Wang Mao was shot, and was stabbed through the body by Lu Fangsheng with the samurai sword that killed his family, and the atmosphere suddenly fell.

Li Sheng was a little speechless and a little excited when he heard the national curse of the United States.

Milla Jovovich should be the kind of actress who doesn't pay attention to her words and deeds. After seeing Li Sheng being stabbed with a knife, she cursed.

"son-of-a-bicth!"

"****!"

In the next few minutes when Li Sheng was brutally tortured by Fengwu Yamashita, Milla Jovovich stood up, walked a few steps, stood up again, and walked a few more steps. It was obvious that she was very conflicted.

She wanted to watch it, but felt that the director was a bitch, so fucking abusive, she couldn't breathe!
She is waiting, and Wang Mao in the play is also waiting, waiting for the moment when Fengwu Shanshita approaches!
Finally the opportunity has come!

From the very beginning, he bragged about slapping dead people, and at the end of the film, he finally let it out, a slap!

Fengwu Yamashita belched, and Wang Mao laughed!

Li Sheng saw that Milla Jovovich also smiled, and murmured, "Thanks-a-god!"

However, she soon realized that she was wrong again.

In the blink of an eye when Li Sheng fell to the ground, the whole world turned colorful.

The blood and fire that had been covered up by Li Sheng with the black and white filter all of a sudden flashed in the form of memory fragments, shocking and touching!
Then there is the picture of Li Sheng and Xing living happily together, Wang Mao blinked again, and the picture returned to Wang Mao, a close-up of a high-altitude dive, Wang Mao closed his eyes.

is he deadnot dead?This is an open ending!Li Sheng didn't give it out!

The screen is over, and the cast begins!

Milla Jovovich was about to leave, and Li Sheng couldn't wait to leave when he saw Denzel Washington in the front row.

The next second, the familiar prelude to the Internationale sounded.

They stood on the same spot again, watching the cast list on the big screen line by line, standing solemnly.

……

Although Guan Jinpeng and Shu Qi didn't know why these ghosts suddenly became so serious, it was obviously not the time to leave now, and they also followed suit and stood where they were.

Li Sheng also stood up, this is his satisfaction, this is my movie, my performance, my song!

……

After a while, it wasn't until the whole song was sung and the lights in the projection room were turned on that everyone came back to their senses.

Denzel Washington stretched out his hands and started clapping, ranging from light to heavy. Milla Jovovich froze for a moment when he saw Denzel, and immediately followed suit.

Guan Jinpeng and Shu Qi saw that Li Sheng was also standing behind, and they also joined in because they were very face-saving. Lao Mouzi turned around to see that Guan Jinpeng saw Li Sheng in his sight, extended a thumbs up to Li Sheng, and began to applaud .

Milla Jovovich saw that everyone was smiling at the guy next to him, and turned his head to look, only to find that the Bichi he scolded just now was beside him, he was embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to curse just now!"

Milla spoke English, and Li Sheng could still understand it. He smiled, stretched out his hand and gently shook Milla Jovovich's hand.

"Although I was scolded, I was still very happy!"

"After all, this also means that I have succeeded, right?" Li Sheng asked back.

Milla Jovovich froze for a moment, then nodded, "of-course!"

……

Perhaps because of the unique style of the Berlin Film Festival, everyone seems to be crazy about star chasing. After discovering Li Sheng, the only dozen or so spectators stood in their positions and faced him. Li Sheng applauded, and there was nothing particularly fanatical about it.

On the contrary, Lao Mouzi, Zhang Ziyi, Guan Jinpeng, and Denzel Washington all came over. Li Sheng was the most familiar with the national teacher, so he nodded his head as a greeting, and Guan Jinpeng was OK, just a few polite words, Shu Qi would be a little unbelievable, and a little dazed.

It was impossible to imagine that this young man was the director and lead actor of that depressing and cruel movie just now, he just hurriedly greeted Li Sheng and left with Guan Jinpeng.

Lao Mouzi and Zhang Ziyi have also left, and their films haven't even started screening yet. They have a lot of work to do, and it's already a great honor to be here today.

However, Denzel Washington and Milla Jovovich did not intend to leave, which made Li Sheng quite curious.

"Aren't you two going to work on your own movie?" He asked them curiously.

Milla Jovovich twitched the corner of her mouth, "My film has been let go, and you have seen it too!" '

"And I'm not a director, I'm not a producer, and I have no obligation to work for them!"

Denzel Washington also nodded, 'Me too, I'm just an actor! '

"Actually, I don't have much confidence in Berlin this time. I am very dissatisfied with my performance this time. I think my current performance level has reached a bottleneck. Defending justice is a product of this state!"

"I'm very dissatisfied, but I can't persuade the producer to give me time. I always feel that my performance is not good enough. When I watched your Wang Mao just now, I got a little inspiration!"

"But I can't catch it! I was wondering if we could have a drink and talk!"

Denzel Washington extended an invitation to Li Sheng, and then looked at Milla Jovovich, "Miss Milla? Can you accept my invitation!"

Anyway, Li Sheng is fine now, Denzel Washington is not the black Oscar winner of the later generations, and his attitude is very sincere, and Mira is not Alice, so he nodded and agreed without feeling anything wrong.

The three of them went to a western restaurant in the hotel together, leaving the ordering to Mira. Denzel was more concerned about how to find his own inspiration from Li Sheng, and couldn't wait to chat.

While ordering, Mira didn't care about Denzel's mood, and asked the two if they had any taboo foods, which made Denzel feel that it was a wrong decision to ask Mira to come with him.

After finishing ordering, Milla Jovovich began to taste the red wine delivered by the waiter, watching Li Sheng and Denzel Washington discussing there.

The more Denzel and Li Sheng talked, the more frightened he felt. It's not that he has never seen a young talented filmmaker like Li Sheng, but it's really amazing that he can be so calm with such achievements. More often, he remembered that when he went to see Wang Mao, it seemed that the exhibition hall next door was also his film, and he must go and see it after dinner.

Before Denzel and Li Sheng could reach a conclusion, the food came out. Mira kept knocking on the table so that the two could not continue the conversation. The two had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing, honestly Really eat.
