Chapter 205 Preparations
“But art has nothing to do with politics!”
"…Is it? Art for "art" has long been an outdated slogan. Especially in today's globalization, it seems even more absurd. Society has no pure art and nothing separated from politics. Because as long as it is made by people, used by people, and because people are always in politics, it is involved in politics. Not understanding politics and subjectively hate politics does not mean that there is no politics, nor does it mean that it is not in politics. This is common sense in political science."
"But many elites highly recommend "Lust and Caution"..."
"Many elites also highly praised the Republic of China, and praised their so-called freedom, cooking!"
"Don't you believe it?"
"...I'm too lazy to say that I'm not a public intellectual! Speaking of art, I always think that there are many things like art. For example, there are many things that promote avant-garde art, painting the human body, and shooting the human body. I don't care what they are willing to do, but they don't play well in their own circles, and they insist on jumping into the public's sight, claiming that they are advanced cultural workers, the trend of the times, and the role models of dedication... I don't think it's necessary."
"In the eyes of the public, niches are always niches, and if they are not in the market, they are not in the market!"
"I don't expect you to be the backbone of the nation, but there is no need to turn the black and white around. It would be a bit disgusting to say that you are innocent."
"Just like stinky tofu, many people like to eat it, but no one set up a family banquet to bring the stinky tofu on the table. No matter how delicious the stinky tofu is, it cannot be on the table."
"Let me say that, if the story of "Lust and Caution" was filmed by other directors, I guess I wouldn't be able to enter the theater at all..."
Shen Lin couldn't help but squirted a few words.
"Do you have any objections to Li Mi?"
"No, I don't know him!"
The topic shifted to "Painted Skin", mainly Wu Ershan was responsible for chatting.
After "Southern Weekend" asked him how he viewed the film "The Fraud", almost no one discussed the situation of him as the director...
He accused him of not having a personal style!
"The Soviet director Sergey Bondarchuk, who once filmed the largest luxury blockbuster in the history of Soviet films, "The Battle of Waterloo". I like his words very much: "I think the most successful thing for a director is that after the audience finishes watching it, they forget that this is my own drama." Back to me, I am a commercial director. Commercial success is the most important thing, and it doesn't matter whether it has a personal imprint."
"There are two categories of movies. One is to introduce the truth, goodness and beauty of people, called the 'Light Route', and another group of people sell horrors, which makes you feel that the whole world is dark. I belong to the 'Light School'. As filmmakers, of course we know that it is easier to get praise from dark movies, but we have to consider what the audience will think after watching it."
"Although "Painted Skin" has a horror color, we will definitely not focus on horror elements, and the theme is still love."
When asked about the work arrangement, Wu Ershan said: "In addition to "Painted Skin", he is also doing "Crazy 2". "Crazy 2" has been established. The starring actors have changed their individuals and the story is also changed. We are mainly suitable directors."
"Don't you continue to direct?"
"No, it gives newcomers room to play, and the style of the second part is more entertainment-oriented, and the first part is too realistic..."
"Do you have specific requirements?"
"Yes, the director must understand the script. We will review the script of "The Scam 2" and then ask him to conduct a field investigation and write a detailed shooting plan... Lin Zi, do you have any other requirements?"
"ah…"
Chen Lin is distracted.
It’s not his fault. He just said something against director Li, which made the reporter of "Southern Weekend" a little dissatisfied and did not continue to interview him.
""Crazy 2"!"
"The story of "The Fraud" can be extended and told, and each character may become the main line. For example, the protagonist of "The Fraud 2" is a little kid who does a choreography in the restaurant in "The Fraud". This character is completely different from the first one. He is a very happy character, and the whole color will be relatively bright."
"The director candidate is still being considered."
The final question undoubtedly shifts to the box office prediction of "Painted Skin".
Wu Ershan's answer is very official: "I just need not lose money."
Chen Linze said: "I think it should be more than 300 million, but I can't say how much it can be."
...
Late at night, Chen Lin was reading the script of "Painted Skin".
No matter how confident you are, you still need to do some preparations!
After all, I have to act opposite Mr. Zhou.
Moreover, Wang Sheng was an ancient man. The ancients walked, spoke, and acted differently from those of modern people. What should be paid attention to is still something to pay attention to.
Wang Sheng is both civil and military, and he met Xiao Wei, and was a hero who saved the beauty;
Xiao Wei fell in love with him because of jealousy. He found that Wang Sheng loved his wife in every way and ignored him like a "great beauty" whom he loved everyone. The situation was uncontrollable, and he felt unbalanced in his heart, so he even wanted to dominate Wang Sheng;
Why did Wang Sheng bring Xiao Wei home?
She neither touches others nor gets married, nor is she a maid, and she keeps her uncle in her family. She is obviously more expensive than other maids. She even asks her to spend time with her eldest wife all day. What does it mean?
In fact, I just wait for my eldest wife to say, "I'll accept it"!
But when the wife really said she suggested that she accept Xiao Wei, she angrily refused...
This is normal. Wang Sheng is a person who understands the rules of human society very well and also a person who values the rules very much. He denies and rejects Xiao Wei again and again, because he dares not face his struggle of mental infidelity during marriage. He knows that he has fallen in love with Xiao Wei, but he thinks it is not in line with morality and etiquette, so he has been suppressing his feelings.
He strives to maintain the character of a good husband and a good general.
No, he should also have love for his wife...
Forget it, after analyzing it, I can’t figure it out. I have to act it myself to feel it!
Tangtang came over: "Are you reading the script?"
"…Um."
""Painted Skin"?"
"…right."
"You haven't considered my "Painted Skin"?"
"You read the script yourself!"
Don’t even consider your acting skills, who can you play?
Tangtang took over the script and looked through it. There were many comments written by Chen Lin himself...
Dalinzi went there so he took a shower and brought his cell phone with him.
It was so thrilling that I arrived at the bathroom and my phone rang. It was Yang Xiaomi who sent a text message: "I want to see you!"
Who are you in this attitude?
If you want to see me, I have to run over?
I really want to reply: "If you have something to do, don't bother me!"
It's so ruthless, after all, I just took the blood of someone else...
After thinking about it, he replied: "Where are you?"
“I’m at the XX Hotel…”
I calculated the distance for about half an hour: "I'll arrive later."
Forget it, I won’t take a shower anymore. It’s so cold, I’ll take a hair dryer.
Put on your clothes again and shouted to Tangtang: "I'll go out!"
“…Well, come back soon.”
"knew!"
He handed in two portions of public food in one night, and Aquaman was also very tired!
Chapter completed!
