In the 2001st class, not just in the 2001st class, Chen Lin is now almost the spokesperson for the Central Academy of Drama...

Although his qualifications are a little bit short, his growth is obvious to all!

And unlike the International Chapter, he entered Hollywood purely with his own talent.

Therefore, "Crazy Stone" premiered in the Central Academy of Drama Auditorium, and all the teachers and students in the school came.

Including some seniors...

For example, Jiang Wen!

He asked Ning Hao directly: "Why did he refuse to let me participate in "Stone"?"

Ning Hao didn't expect that the first question was to ask him, and he was a little stuttering to explain the actor's image and other things...

Another senior Diao Yinan asked: "I heard that you made art films before, why are you making commercial films now?"

“…I want to change it.”

"Let me say!" Chen Lin took over the question: "It should be that "Incense" was screened in Cannes. This was the first time we were shortlisted for Cannes. The official 300-person lobby was arranged by the official 300 people, and there were more than 200 audiences. At that time, Ning Hao and I thought, "We spent a year making a movie, and traveled thousands of miles to Cannes, and they were shown to hundreds of audiences. The key is that they may not be able to understand it..." At that time, we had a discussion, what kind of movie should we make?"

"Like ", a movie is made every year and travels tens of thousands of kilometers to communicate with hundreds of audiences? Is it worth it? We think the movie should be rooted in our own culture and should be seen by more domestic audiences, so we decided to make commercial films!"

"Then aren't you afraid that the audience will say you are vulgar?"

"…Business is not vulgar. On the contrary, Hollywood is popular all over the world with mainstream commercial films. Do you think "The Lord of the Rings" is vulgar?"

Another professor in the Department of Drama and Literature: "But when we make movies, we should leave something behind, not just commercialize entertainment!"

"I agree with the teacher, but the current situation is that the movies released in China are either big-themed blockbusters or Hong Kong-style commercial films. There are too few audiences that can be mobilized. We must rely on commercial films to get the audience into the theater again... The Taiwan film industry has collapsed. Do we have to follow the old path?"

Chen Lin was very friendly and proactive.

After all, it is his alma mater!

I didn't quarrel with people over commercial or art films...

There is nothing to be arguing about, and it’s useless to say it.

Before the screening, I talked a lot with my juniors and was about to be officially released. Dalinzi suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd, so she pointed to her: "What are you asking about the question? Yes, it's you!"

who?

Of course, it’s Tong Yali from level 04!

Tong Yali was just watching the movie, which was the legendary participant in the fun.

I don't have much understanding of commercial films and art films...

She didn't even watch the plot of "Crazy Stone"!

I was suddenly named, a little surprised, but I still asked: "I...I want to ask if you know "A Phoenix Cause caused by a Steamed Bun"?"

Chen Lin nodded: "Of course I know."

"Then how do you evaluate this behavior?"

""The Blood Crime caused by a Steamed Bun", what?"

"It's just a netizen who re-edited "Wuji" and used "Rule of Law Online" to spoof "Wuji"..."

Chen Lin roughly explained it, and then answered Tong Yali: "This kind of thing is called a spoof. The largest video website in the United States, Youtuan, has many short films edited by netizens. I think it is normal... The four classics, the Bible, and historical figures can be spoofed. The tradition of deconstructing authoritative people has a long history. For example, many Chinese folk crosstalks and folk arts are just spoof Confucius. Spoof is also a kind of culture. There is no need to understand "culture" so narrowly. The spiritual products created by humans are all cultures in the social science sense."

"Okay, let's watch a movie."

...

"Stone" is the first multi-line narrative film in China.

The so-called multi-line narrative is a structure that separates the narrative by several clues. It seems that several clues that seem to be unrelated move forward quickly under the guidance of a core motivation, and connect other stories with one of the clues in a time period, and then reach the climax of the drama.

At the beginning of "Stone", it is directly narrated from multiple perspectives using montage.

Several fragmented shots explain the characters and then cleverly blend them together...

At first glance, it seems messy, but in fact its internal logic is quite clear!

There are three groups of characters, one is the security department headed by Bao Shihong, the other is the three thieves of Dao Ge, Hei Pi and Xiao Jun, and the other is the international thief Mike sent by General Feng to steal jade.

The movie sets up a very valuable intersection at the beginning and connects the three main clues.

Xie Xiaomeng's Coke bottle fell from the air on the ropeway and hit Bao Shihong and Sanbao who were driving. When Bao Shihong and Sanbao got off the car and looked for the "murderer", the car slipped down the road and hit Mr. Feng's car;

On the other side, Brother Dao, Xiaojun and Hei Pi were pretending to steal things from the moving company. After coming out, they were meeting the traffic police. Hei Pi was about to knock the traffic police with a hammer to get out of the circumference;

At this time, I heard a "bang" crash, and the traffic police released three people.

The only time these three groups of characters collided in the same time and space happened here.

The whole process is eight minutes!

So, at the beginning, many people were confused and didn't know what this thing was talking about.

What is the performance of one foot of the sky and one foot of the earth?

Until the three clues gathered together, the first climax point came!

Everyone laughed.

The audience is very happy with the trick of setting up the movie. Several seemingly scattered shots have clearly understood the main characters and causal relationships in the film.

It not only demonstrates the director's narrative skills, but also gives the audience the pleasure of understanding puzzles!

Therefore, multi-line narrative is highly praised.

Before "Stone", domestic comedies were either nonsensical Hong Kong style or Feng Xiaogang style sketches. These movies were both good and bad, but they usually used the time and order of the story as clues, and the causal relationship of the story as the driving force for narratives. The plot of the movie was described in accordance with the logical structure of "start → development → climax → ending".

The beauty of multi-line narrative lies in its sharp montage editing!

After this little climax, everyone on the scene watched "Stone" carefully, and then there was a collection of jokes:

On the rooftop, three thieves were opening the box, and Brother Dao’s girlfriend called.

"Come out and play..."

“I don’t have time, I’m working.”

"You know how to work, and you'll just play with me and disappear..."

"I'm busy."

"Hate, you promised to take me to Hong Kong for shopping, and the pass has been completed..."

"You women just don't understand that this stage is the rising period of my career. How can I go ahead?"

…

"Does it be done? If you want to be romantic, you'll waste it first. How can you sting girls if you don't have money?"

"If you don't have money to ask your dad, you will tell your dad that you have been kidnapped. I don't believe that your dad doesn't care about you. Fighting with dad will be endless!"

Including Shen Lin's appearance, the first sentence was: "I'll take your lungs!"

But to be honest, all the actors in "Stone" are not as good as Huang Bo and Dao Ge...

"Benny Road!"

"Nike, is there a camera?"

"My wife was sleeping with someone else, no one cares about it... We are not married, but we have real feelings... No one cares about it after marriage. Is there any king's law?...What kind of lawyer are you?"

"You insult my personality, you also insult my IQ."

...

Laughs were heard in the whole auditorium!

Although the funny points of "Stone" are not very clever, they are definitely not vulgar. They do not have '36D big breasts', "You sweat so much", "***" and other conversations...

Moreover, "Stone" has a good idea, and at the very top, it reflects the social situation where state-owned enterprises went bankrupt and power broke into power at the turn of the century colluded with capitalists to sell state-owned assets at a low price, and state-owned enterprise employees were in a difficult situation and betrayed; to go deeper, it shows how crazy human nature is in the face of temptation, but in the end the gem fell on the neck of Bao Shihong's wife, the only person who is not crazy in the film;

Follow the law that good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded...

At the end of the film, Huang Bo ran wildly while biting the bread, the owner was riding a motorcycle and chasing him all the way. Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker" sounded, and the picture freezes...

Then Runtu's "I Am a Cub in Chongqing" sounded.

"Wow!"

Almost instantly, the audience in the auditorium applauded spontaneously...
Chapter completed!
