Chapter 40 Recreation of Movies
In the general environment of Chinese movies, once a movie is made, you can't bear to criticize it head-on and face-to-face. This kind of movie is commonly called "literary movie".And there is another kind of theme in literary films, as long as it is involved, no matter how it is shot, you can’t examine it with a critical eye, otherwise your conscience will feel uneasy for no reason-this kind of theme is to focus on the bottom of society Subject matter of disadvantaged groups.

The reason why Zhou Xia is so confident that this movie can reach more than 8.5 points in Douban is more because of the genre of this movie.

This is a typical literary and artistic drama that pays attention to the disadvantaged groups. She implements the routine of domestic distress films that have no new ideas and just go to death.

Basically no one will give a low score!

Ordinary audiences will be moved to mark it with five stars after watching it, and film critics who are not too harsh will also mark it with four stars, adding a sentence, "very light film, heavy life."The social significance conveyed by the film is greater than the quality of the film itself. ' and the like.

As for the harsh film critics, they will also mark it with three stars, and comment helplessly, "A film full of good intentions."Everyone in the movie is full of kindness. '

There are only a handful of people with two stars, but one star does not exist!

The residential house rented by the film crew is well decorated, the glass chandelier on the ceiling is still very new, exuding bright light, the room is quiet, Xue Xiaolu is holding Zhou Xia's notepad in her hand, leaning on the back of the chair , Looking up at the chandelier in a daze, thinking.

Zhou Xia sat not far away without making any movement, looking forward to it in her heart.

At this moment, Xue Xiaolu should be thinking about those "private goods" he mixed in.

This involves the modification of the structure and narrative method of the entire film, as well as his proposal to modify and improve the character of Daifuku, and how to make Daifuku's anger more powerful and touch the audience.

After nearly 10 minutes, Xue Xiaolu sat down again, turned around and looked at Zhou Xia.

"Zhou Xia, some of the ideas in your notepad are very good and inspiring to me, especially the analysis of the biography of Dafu you wrote. You grafted the cognitive process of people onto Dafu, and analyzed how he was taught by his father Wang Xincheng. Changes have taken place, the theory is adequate, and the explanations are scientific.

I thought about it carefully, and I can add Daifuku’s self-awareness process as a hidden line into the movie narrative, enriching the narrative of the original single-causal linear structure, and triggering people’s deep thinking. Thank you very much, Zhou Xia, it’s hard for you So attentive! "

Xue Xiaolu's words made Zhou Xia finally let go of his worries, and he quickly responded modestly: "The director is polite, in fact, I came up with these ideas just at the right time."

"Oh, I remembered it when you said that. Your theory of cognitive process is indeed similar to the idea of ​​combining dreams and human cognition in the script of "The Princess" on your blog. It seems that you like psychology and Freud very much, and you have a lot of research!"

Xue Xiaolu suddenly realized, and said with a smile.

"I only have a little understanding of psychology and Freud. But, director, have you read my blog? It's a great honor. I don't know what the director thinks about my script?" Zhou Xia also became interested and happily asked for advice. .

"Yes, I've seen it and followed you. After all, those two posts of yours are so popular on the Tianya forum, how can people surfing the forum not notice. Your script of "Prince Princess" is very interesting, absurd In the funny jokes, it tells the process of self-cognition in a person's dream, which is very innovative, and it can be so serious when it can talk nonsense, and it can convey extra thought in the vulgar, that is a good script."

"Hehe, I'm even embarrassed to hear the director praise you so much." Zhou Xia laughed awkwardly. After all, he copied someone else and just reprocessed it.

"Don't be modest, I want to discuss with you the adjustment of our movie script!" Xue Xiaolu waved her hand.

"Okay, director, tell me, discussion is out of the question, I will definitely express my thoughts clearly." Zhou Xia hurriedly said.

"Well, let me ask you, you use the theory of cognitive process to explain the change of Daifuku. Is there any scientific basis for this? Although I agree with your point of view and think it makes sense, we are acting responsibly. , or try to be as authentic and credible as possible.

I have already planned to consult relevant experts.It is best if your theory has no problems, but if it is not possible, according to the suggestions of experts, it is okay to modify it at that time.In short, Daifuku's self-awareness behavior has changed this dark line. I have decided to join the movie narrative. You can tell me the truth about this. "

"Director, my theory is of course just my personal understanding and speculation, without scientific proof. You can consult experts, but I think we are making movies after all, not popular science films. Our theory is explained at the level of ordinary audiences. Reasonable is enough. You can think of it this way, Daifuku is an autistic patient, we are not him, so we have no way of knowing how he thinks and recognizes himself.

But as a person, there must be a process of self-awareness.Even though Daifuku's intelligence is limited, unlike us ordinary people, he must have this process of recognizing the world and himself.It’s like when we were young, around two or three years old, we don’t know how we know the world and ourselves. We don’t know this, but the principle is the same. As long as we express this idea clearly, I don’t think it will affect us. The story is expressed, and ordinary audiences will agree and accept it! "

Zhou Xia heard that Xue Xiaolu wanted to consult an expert, and was afraid of delaying the matter, so he quickly expressed his thoughts.

"It makes sense, it is true, then I will not study these serious theories. You just said that you extended the cognitive process to our childhood, which touched me a little bit. According to your analysis and explanation of the characters, the changes in Daifuku have changed. Supported by theory, if we deal with special scenes and plots, the character of Daifuku will be more three-dimensional and plump, and will no longer be just a simple symbol of an autistic patient. Then our whole movie will be sublimated and expressed more profoundly. It will no longer just talk about Autistic patients, but all disabled people, even each of us, can do something at this point to make the topic thought-provoking!"

After hearing Zhou Xia's explanation, Xue Xiaolu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and excitedly talked about it to Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia was not surprised either. This was a normal behavior of creators after inspiration came. He listened quietly and was also very happy.

Xue Xiaolu is really not simple. If it can be extended to this level, then the possibility of success of this movie will be even greater. It's just that it is difficult to do, because I am afraid that in order to pursue depth, it will weaken the original story.

However, the narrative of this movie is quite loose and flat. If more characterizations of the protagonist Daifuku are added, the narrative of the two lines of light and dark will be very compact, and this problem will not exist!
After Zhou Xia figured it out, he responded, "Director, I just thought about the role, and I didn't think about it so broadly. Since you mentioned the theme of sublimation, of course I hope it can be done. But I still hope that the director can just Increase the portrayal of the characters, achieve this goal through the characters, not through other things, after all, the integrity and authenticity of the story is very important.”

"Don't worry about this, I won't lose sight of the other. Now we are going to adjust the script and slightly increase the portrayal of Daifuku to make him more three-dimensional and comprehensive. However, since I have used your ideas and theoretical analysis, I will also Adding you to the signed screenwriter, as for the remuneration, there is not much, it is too troublesome to apply to the producer, and I will treat you as a reward when I return to the school teacher and treat you to a big meal."

"The director is too polite. There are so many details. You can use it as you like. It's my honor. As for the signed screenwriter, don't you want it?" Zhou Xia hurriedly said with a smile.

"Don't call me a director in the future, just call me a teacher. We are also from the same school."

Xue Xiaolu emphasized, and then continued: "The signed screenwriter is still required, so don't worry about it. Now you have basically completed the task of gaining weight, and you don't need to sleep a lot every day. I am too slow to adjust the script by myself. It’s yours, so don’t rush to leave, just go over the script with me, and see how to add Daifuku’s self-knowledge process to make the structure of the movie more reasonable.”

"Okay, since you said so, teacher, then I'm obliged. Don't blame me if you don't do anything well." Zhou Xia couldn't ask for more, and agreed.

While the two were talking, Xue Xiaolu called her assistant to make coffee, and found a script for Zhou Xia, and the two began to discuss how to adjust the script.

　Update early, happy new year's day, new year, I wish you all the best.New week, please favorite and recommend.
