So, according to Lao Zhang's setting, this movie follows a noisy style. It does not express comedy elements with light and humorous lines and witty plots.
It relies on exaggerated looks, nonsensical lines, and the protagonists pretending to be crazy to show comedy.
It may be a bit biased to say this. If Lao Zhang heard it, he might explode in an instant, but this is indeed the case.
Wu Di's opinion can still be recognized. After all, for Sanyanerpai, before the official filming started, he was a bystander who came from time to time.
His views are very objective.
To be honest, if we put the movie Sanyanerpai in the middle and use the standards of suspense movies to measure it, it will naturally get failing ratings one by one.
There is absolutely no suspense at all. This is really the most devastating point. Perhaps for the audience, the moment they walk out of the cinema, they have already started to spit out the fragrance.
Many of them were lured into the cinema by the suspense label!
They don't plan to see a suspense classic like Xi Fat, but they still want to explain clearly the causes and consequences, giving people a sense of guessing, pursuing, and then revealing the truth!
As a result, if you watch San Yan Er Pai again, is there any suspense in that kind of plot structure?
The motivations of the characters are all placed there easily, and the audience doesn't need to use any brains, even a fool can distinguish them clearly.
As for the actions of the characters, not to mention, every one of their actions will basically not exceed the expectations of ordinary movie viewers.
Not to mention those fans of suspense movies, who are already cursing after watching it halfway through, okay?
As for the result, it is even more ridiculous.
What's that?
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and there is always a lucky girl in the end?
When the audience saw the ending, they really had no shock at all and were completely speechless. The mood was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
If Lao Zhang tells them, dear audience friends, in fact, this movie is just a joke made by me, Lao Zhang, so please don’t take it seriously and don’t mind it.
I, Mr. Zhang, give everyone free movie tickets and invite everyone to watch. If that is the case, maybe the anger of the audience who took off their shoes and threw them at him can be suppressed.
such a pity!
Lao Zhang also advertised that San Yan Er Pai is a commercial film and plans to make a lot of money!
The ticket price must not be cheap, and those audiences who were blinded by his previous fame flocked to the venue as soon as they saw his sign.
If one wave doesn't work, there will be a second wave. Wave after wave of audiences walk into the cinema, and there is no one who doesn't cry out that they have been deceived.
Since this movie, Lao Zhang's reputation has plummeted and he has been unable to recover for several years, which is normal.
Putting suspense aside for now, if it can really make people laugh in some witty way, then it will be considered a worthwhile trip for the audience.
If one purpose cannot be satisfied, it can always satisfy another. Comedy can also be divided into high-level and low-level. Low-level, obviously, is the shitty type. There are many comedies of this type in Europe and the United States.
There is no so-called artistic pursuit, but there is plenty of foul language and violence. This kind of movie generally has a viewing threshold, and they are all R-category movies.
When movie theaters play them, they will not be open to audiences of all ages. Generally speaking, minors need to be accompanied by their family members before they can enter the movie theater.
Although this type of comedy movie is not high in style, it still has its own ground for existence. After all, people also have some low-level pursuits.
The feces and piss comedies have survived. Moreover, the production budget for this type of film is generally not too high. With the investment of one blockbuster, you can probably shoot ten feces and piss comedies, and follow the route of small profits but quick turnover.
, completely appropriate.
Then the other kind is, of course, the kind of comedy that is filled with natural humor and is unconventional.
They can always make people smile and feel the beauty of life at the same time. It should be said that the investment in this type of comedy movies is often not very high, or it can be said that they do not need to be special.
High investment, medium scale is sufficient.
The core of this type of movie is the script. Only an exquisite and amazing script can make a high-end comedy movie stand up.
Comedy movies like this are meant to be classics and to leave a name in film and television.
On the other hand, Lao Zhang’s painstaking masterpiece is said in two words, how to describe it?
To say that it is a shit comedy is to slander it. It is really not full of foul language or full of violence and blood.
But, it certainly doesn't qualify as a high-class comedy.
It's simply not good enough, from all aspects. Although the script is original, you can figure out a very tragic fact by reading his script.
That is the famous international director Lao Zhang. In fact, he is not a man with a full sense of humor. He really lacks a sense of humor.
Those scenes that he found particularly funny and enough to make the audience laugh were simply embarrassing toe-picking.
This is a cognitive bias.
What the audience is looking forward to seeing is a comedy that can make them laugh without being vulgar at all.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no market for low-brow comedies. In fact, this kind of low-brow comedies are the mainstream that floods the movie market.
However, the vulgar comedy of domestic entertainment is still at a relatively low-end innocent stage, and it is impossible to evolve to the level of shit.
But it's not elegant either.
Of course, movies of that type can still sell well, and audiences really aren't that picky.
However, the audience occasionally has pursuits, for example, when they meet a well-known director like Lao Zhang.
Look, you are a director of this level, why can’t you give us something good to eat?
What is this?
See for yourself, what is this?
Is this funny?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is worse than shit and piss!
It should be said that among various types of comedy films, Three Words and Two Patches is the most embarrassing type. You may say it is particularly vulgar, but it cannot satisfy the audience's vulgar and low-level pursuit.
If you say it's elegant, you're even joking.
Therefore, it is this kind of positioning that is neither up nor down that makes the audience at a loss what to do, and the more they watch, the more they feel speechless.
We are here to see comedy, not farce.
You have made these characters look so outlandish. Do you really think this is funny? To what level has the audience evolved, and you are still hovering at the bottom!
Tsk tsk...
In fact, after Wu Di's summary, he believed that the main problems that San Yan Er Pao has been criticized by the audience are still in two places. One is the curious shape, what is it, it is full of colorful colors.
Are we watching a duo?
Or some big dance show?
How can such a highly saturated color scheme and inferior color system not make people frown?
Even if your film is a comedy, no one stipulates that comedy actors have to dress like circus clowns.
The audience is sitting in the cinema, the lights are down, and they start to watch the movie. Although there is no lighting in the cinema at this time, they are not blind. Do they need you to match the colors so dazzling?
Are you worried that the audience will not be able to discern the plot?
It can be said that many viewers have not watched this movie, but have already classified this movie as a bad movie after just watching the beginning.
Who made actors’ makeup look so vulgar?
Another big problem is that the lines are very tasteless and have no aftertaste at all. As a comedy movie, this is very fatal.
When the actors speak those lines in ridiculous accents, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with their acting skills overall.
You can see that they just faithfully completed the tasks assigned by the director, and their performance was also approved by the director.
The director just asked them to perform like that. After all, the original intention of choosing their actors was already obvious.
We just want to give full play to their strengths, why bother asking?
Comedy, generally speaking, can also be called an art of language. Some comedies will emphasize physical humor, and more will choose to use humorous lines to make the audience laugh.
Because compared to physical comedy, verbal comedy is easier to shoot.
Not to mention a director of Lao Zhang's level, even if he is a mediocre new director shooting an urban light comedy, he will put more effort into the plot and lines.
There will be many classic light-hearted moments and many witty and lively lines. This is just a light comedy. Judging from the film type, it may not be considered a comedy, but just a drama or a romance film.
But what about Lao Zhang’s three-word, two-shot film?
Forget about that line.
It's really mind-boggling, that kind of meaningless spoof, and the three-hit combo of commentaries. These can only be regarded as sideshows and really have nothing to do with comedy.
It is impossible for Lao Zhang not to have the skills to write lines. With so many classic movies in his hands, it is certain that Lao Zhang is still very good at plot design and line design.
But, why doesn’t it work here in San Yan Er Pai?
Of course you can't put all the blame on the assistant director. Although he is responsible for the comedy part, he is only responsible for the shooting and not the script.
This story was still written by Lao Zhang, who completed it independently. Others don't know it, but Wu Di can testify.
In those days, the old man stayed in his study every day without seeing anyone, just immersed in writing scripts.
On the day he came out of quarantine, he obviously felt that a large chunk of his hair was missing.
Since Lao Zhang wrote the script himself, only he can be responsible for the quality of the movie.
So, what made Lao Zhang lose his ability to write lines in a short period of time?
Of course it's not a question of IQ, it's just a question of character.
In the case of the same knowledge, some people are born with a sense of humor and can transform many ordinary words into another feeling.
It felt like the same sentence, coming out of his mouth, made people laugh.
That feeling is very subtle. It can be said that it is easy to lift a weight with ease. It is also a talent that others cannot learn.
Different moods, different word order arrangements, the same meaning, and different words can make a sentence completely different.
Obviously, Lao Zhang really has no sense of humor. After holding it in for such a long time, the audience was completely indifferent to the plot that he thought was particularly funny.
This is enough to show that he has nothing to do with humor. He is suitable for filming dramas about bitterness and hatred. How about continuing to follow that path?
If you have to change the track to shoot some comedy, it will be difficult for yourself and even more difficult for the audience.
However, no matter what Wu Di thinks, now that he is involved in this project, he has to do something.
So, he identified two key points that might be changed.
Regardless of whether the situation can be turned around or not, this is at least a direction that we can work towards. In the end, as long as we can save San Yan Er from being a super bad movie, the kind that everyone calls for beating, it can be turned into a film that is still watchable.
Film.
It should at least reach this level.
It can be considered worthy of Zhang Feng. Who made Xiao Fengfeng a kissing wife? If she saw the finished product in three words and looked like that, she would probably be so angry that she would grit her teeth and not even want to leave the door of Zhang's house.
go out.
There is no such face.
However, when Wu Di finished the painting and put on the costume, the kindness just now was completely gone and disappeared.
It happened almost instantly.
"The color is the makeup you carefully prepared for me?"
Wu Di pointed at his huge front teeth, his eyes seemed to be eating people. The makeup artist was a girl in her thirties but she still looked young and tender.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! She quickly waved her hand to refute the rumors: "No, no, this was not my idea. You wronged me. This time, the looks of the leading actors were decided by Lao Zhang alone.
"
"From clothing to makeup, it's all her fault and has nothing to do with me!"
Good guy, if you don't refute the rumors quickly at this time, won't you be put in a big black pot on your own head?
Although the makeup artist is young, she still understands the principles very well. Besides, who in their right mind can create makeup like this?
Putting the blame on others is not unfair, what is it?
Next to Wu Di, who looked helpless, was Han Jingjing, who was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. Yes, she was his loyal assistant.
"I said, stop laughing, okay?"
"How is it appropriate for a girl to smile with her big teeth exposed? What does she look like?"
Han Jingjing laughed so hard that she couldn't even speak smoothly.
"What does it look like?"
"No matter how ugly you look, it's a hundred times better than what you look like now. Look at you, haha, what is this?"
"Ugly, so ugly!"
Han Jingjing's malicious and disrespectful laughter was everywhere in the small dressing room.
Wu Di was already angry and speechless by her.
If she could regret it, she would have been packed up and sent back to the capital long ago.
What kind of assistant do you want?
It's better for him to serve himself!
Letting someone like her be an assistant is simply making yourself unhappy, and it won't be of any help at all.
Han Jingjing laughed so lively that the people around her couldn't control it. They were inevitably affected by her. Seeing more and more people laughing, Wu Di's feeling of powerlessness became stronger and stronger.
He, who was always sharp-tongued, was speechless at this moment and couldn't find a single reason to refute!
