However, it is a pity that since the boom of movies, many directors have begun to realize that movies are directed by the director and are the director's aesthetic expression.
The films made are simply incomprehensible to ordinary people, and film critics only know how to praise these things.
Anyway, it’s just nonsense and doesn’t care about the life or death of the audience.
So, for the movie Confucius, what the audience wants to see is a movie with a smooth story and a tight rhythm.
As a result, what kind of meal did Chef Gu Mei serve to everyone?
The narrative of the story is confusing, with a feeling of a hammer in one place and a stick in the other. Compact?
Do you think it’s possible for our movie to have such high-end stuff? Originally, for historical movies, it’s incompatible with things like rhythm.
The so-called sense of rhythm can often create ideal results as long as it is mastered well. So generally speaking, what kind of movies are easy to have a sense of rhythm?
Of course, suspense movies, crime movies, and action movies!
These types of movies are in urgent need of a sense of rhythm. It can be said that without a sense of rhythm, it is impossible to make a film.
It is precisely this type of movies that highly overlap with those movies that top the box office charts.
But the Master obviously doesn’t rely on either side.
Judging from director Gu's usual techniques for filming TV series, he is really not good at things like rhythm.
If Director Gu mainly shot suspense TV series before, maybe he can give him some hope.
However, the theme of Confucius seems to be just a translation of the historical themes that Director Gu was good at in the past to the movie.
At the same time, when filming this movie, Director Gu still used the thinking of TV series. Although it seems that the scene is very big and the scene restoration is adequate, but, when the audience arrives at the cinema, this is not what he wants to see.
.
Director Gu's failure is actually a warning to many future film and television dramas. However, many directors or film and television drama production teams are not aware of this problem.
That is, in the final analysis, what movie audiences want to watch is the story, not the way of serving a movie.
There are usually only two types of movies where audiences are picky about costumes and props.
The first type is the ultimate bad movie, with nothing wrong with it, so the audience will just directly classify this kind of movie as a bad movie made by a grass-roots team, and even point out the simple costumes and props as a trendy point.
And what about the other category?
Naturally, they are some classic works.
Because the story is very perfect, there are some mistakes that shouldn't be made in serving the Tao, such as the wrong dynasty of clothing and the appearance of styles that shouldn't be there.
This is one of the hardest hit areas for costume dramas to be criticized by the audience. Generally speaking, it is basically a matter of picking one.
After all, we have too many dynasties, and each dynasty basically has its own popular clothing styles.
Although they look like ancient costumes from a distance, if you look closely, you will know that in fact, the popular styles in each dynasty are different.
As for the practitioners of film and television dramas, they are not specialized researchers in the history of clothing, and the crew will not actually find experts to verify the correct clothing in history just for these vague criticisms.
hehe.
Netizens can talk about anything and know everything.
Will you pay to help us get these things?
Do you think that these ways of persuading people can be achieved as long as the consultants are in place and understand the reasons?
Do you know how much it costs to recreate clothing according to various historical styles restored by experts?
money!
Funds are burning!
It is a common knowledge in the drama circle that it is extremely expensive to serve as a Taoist. This is one of the reasons why Qing palace dramas became so popular for a period of time.
First, naturally, as the dynasty closest to the present, people are very familiar with the clothes of the people of that era. After all, that era already had photo technology, so there will be a lot of memories of that era.
It will be particularly easy to recover in movies and TV series.
And this second reason is built on the first reason.
Precisely because it is easy to restore, there are many stocks of such costumes and props in film and television cities.
Then as a film and television drama filmed later, once related plots are involved, especially clothing and other items, they can be reused.
This is also a magic weapon for the crew to save money, so improving the level of service is actually closely linked to the production cost of the TV series.
But, more importantly, whether it is a movie or a TV series, if you want to be criticized by others, the story must at least pass the test.
Now it seems that the movie Master is actually putting the cart before the horse.
Wrapped in a tasteless story with exquisite service, to use an ugly saying that modern people often put on their lips, it is a piece of shit wrapped in chocolate.
Although the words are a bit rough, the reasoning is not rough.
The story is poorly told, with no suspense at all, but it does a good job of setting the time, setting, etc., and it also pursues the so-called extreme.
The more you pursue these trivial matters, the less attention you will pay to the plot.
This is inevitable.
Think about it, why would a crew or director care so much about serving the Tao and make these things the focus of their marketing?
Of course, it is because they believe that the audience values these things very much, so if they do well, they deserve to be praised by the audience.
This kind of praise is reflected in the movie, that is, it must do well at the box office.
However, this is also a sign of being fooled by the audience, or in other words, young people on the Internet.
Despite the commotion on the Internet, in fact, at least during this period of 2009, those who often spoke online were extremely young people. It can be said that their views did not represent the mainstream of this society.
Not to mention dominating the movie-going crowd.
In fact, the core of the movie is still the story, even in the era when Wu Di traveled through time.
Many movies don't even have the most basic story right, but waste too much energy on these trivial things, leading to putting the cart before the horse.
And what about the audience?
Please trust their judgment, they will never look too hard at this chocolate-covered shit.
Failure after failure has made this point very clear.
Audiences will not blindly follow a drama just because it is well-executed and can restore the original appearance of history.
Not to mention movies, which require real money to support entertainment, TV dramas have always failed.
This kind of TV series with an empty story structure and only a gorgeous appearance has been criticized many times by the audience.
It is a pity that Gu Mei's era is still relatively early, and she has not been hit by many such criticisms, so she made many mistakes made by younger generations.
Perhaps, to put it nicely, this is also called the first person to eat crabs, and it can also be regarded as setting a lesson for future generations.
Therefore, under the superposition of various factors, it is conceivable that the first day of the Lunar New Year has already been the peak of Fuzi's box office.
Tomorrow, all kinds of critical remarks about the Master will continue to ferment. The most important thing is that there is no opponent yet. At least Wu Di will not let his men throw dirty water on the Master.
Therefore, all the negative reviews on the Internet are almost all comments from the heart of the audience, but I don’t know if Director Gu has noticed it.
As the lead actor whose skin is changed, Wu Di has no intention to care about these things, and there is no need. After all, as long as the skin is changed, he will be fine.
As for the Master, that’s how life is, there must be gains and losses. Originally, the Master was just a spare tire he salvaged.
Of course, even though he thought so in his heart, Wu Di still tried his best during the filming and did not relax at all, lying down casually.
As for the unsatisfactory finished product, this is not his responsibility at all. After all, his role is too few, and it can be counted as a lot of roles. That is because in the movie Master, being able to name him counts.
There are not many characters at all.
Therefore, although Wu Di played very few roles and was just Hua Ge's follower, he still gained a certain sense of presence.
As for him being particularly favored by Director Gu, it is not because of how important Wu Di himself is, it is entirely the result of competition.
It's all because Zhang Feng chose Wu Di as the male lead in a new skin. Therefore, as a young man who was offered opportunities by two female directors in a row, Wu Di was unfortunate, or perhaps lucky, to become the pulling force between the two ladies.
Object.
In order to compete with Zhang Feng, Gu Mei also added a lot of scenes to Wu Di and even paid a lot of attention to the newcomer.
None of this was what Wang Mi deserved originally, but now, it is just a return to his original position.
What is the original position?
It just has no sense of existence.
You see, if Director Gu really took actor Wu seriously, how could he never be included in promotional activities?
After all, he is also a leading actor, and he is young and a fresh face.
It can only be said that Gu Mei's character also restricts her further development. After all, she is an older person and her ideas are different from those of young people.
It's always a little bit awkward and can't be changed at all.
For example, in the case of "Skin Change" and "Fuzi", as the two movies use the same actors, and they are going to compete in the same schedule, at this time, it is not right to bring the skin change lead actor Wu Di to do offline activities together.
Very good?
You can also rub each other's heat, but it's useless if you don't rub each other.
In this way, at least some viewers will find out that the male lead who changed his skin also plays the role of Master. Maybe out of curiosity, some viewers can be attracted to watch Master through the skin change.
As a result, I don’t know if he became a competitor, but his hands were tied. At the beginning, when he was in Hengdian, Gu Mei was quite combat-minded.
However, when the battlefield moved to the capital, Gu Mei's momentum suddenly dropped. Not only that, he also used some small tricks behind his back.
Although neither Wu Di nor Zhang Feng cared about Director Gu's little thoughts, this does not mean that Director Gu has never done these things.
And what about Wu Di?
He has also gone from being a piece of cake that both sides were competing for, to becoming an ungrateful person, at least, that's how it looks from Gu Mei's point of view.
I gave you a chance, but you focused on the skin-changing crew. Is this fair? Is this appropriate?
Why don't you review your own behavior?
Generally speaking, in a film crew, the relationship between the leading actor and the director is also very subtle. If the director is a newcomer, it does not mean a newcomer like Zhang Feng who relies on the father of a famous director, but a pure newcomer like Xiao Qi.
If a new director can hire some big names to star in his movie, relatively speaking, the big-name actors will have a very high say in the crew.
Even how the director continues the story depends on the eyes of the big-name actors. It is common to change the scene and add scenes.
For big-name directors, such as Director Gu, small roles like Xiao Wu are basically insignificant to her.
If you want him to be conspicuous, he can be conspicuous. If you don't want to talk to him, you can cut out the scene. Xiao Wu doesn't dare to have any objections.
Therefore, although it was impossible for Wu Di to show up uninvited, Director Gu still believed that Wu Di was at fault!
If I don't let you come, don't you know how to take the initiative?
If you said you were going to participate in a promotional event, would I disagree?
In a corner where no one cared, Wu Di offended Director Gu for no apparent reason.
"Xiao Wu, you are pretty good at it!"
So, when Wu Di picked up Gu Mei's call again, he was simply poured cold water on his head.
what happened?
Why is she still so angry?
Could it be that in this current situation, Wu Di did something wrong?
"Director Gu, why do you say this? I was thinking that if there is any publicity activity, Master, I must be called. It seems that Director Gu doesn't want to call me."
Wu Di deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice, which made Ms. Gu Mei feel chills.
"Are you pretending to be stupid with me here?"
"Did you do those negative reviews to Master?"
Wu Di was speechless.
This is really a thief shouting to catch the thief.
If he did such a dirty thing, it depends on who is the murderer. Even if Wu Di did such a thing, he was forced to do nothing.
Could it be that she, Gu Mei, didn't splash this black water first?
"Gu Dao, you misunderstood."
"I'm just a young actor and I'm not responsible for behind-the-scenes work. How could I do these things? I just finished a road show today and I don't have the time at all."
"Humph," Gu Mei sneered: "You kid, don't think I don't know anything. Aren't you in a relationship with Zhang Feng?"
"You are deeply involved in the film Skin Change. Many of the later publicity work were your ideas. Do you think I don't know anything as I get older?"
It turns out that she was indeed not blind and deaf.
"Now that you know everything, I have to admit that, yes, I did participate in some of the later publicity work. However, I only came up with a few ideas and supervised the production of peripheral products."
What could be wrong with the baby?
It's all you adults who are wrong. Your thoughts are so dirty that your baby is afraid.
"Just?"
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
"Xiao Wu, if you do this, don't blame me for being rude."
