However, it is somewhat difficult for someone of Wu Di's age.
At this time, Wu Di finally understood why Director Xiao Lu mentioned training again and again just now.
Indeed, if you shoot like this, you really need to train, otherwise you really can’t feel it.
The key point is that it is really difficult for a person as good as Wu Di, who looks so smart, to play a fool and mentally retarded.
From the outside, you don’t look like you at all. Although Wu Di also admitted that autism is just a disease and it is possible to recover. And after recovery, the child will become like a normal person and can live a normal life.
.
However, to be honest, children with autism have been unable to communicate with normal people for a long time, lack communication, and live in their own world. For people who are not familiar with, or simply unwilling to understand, this type of children,
Aren't they just like fools?
This level is quite difficult to grasp.
Therefore, it is not enough to just study high-end autism. It must be easy for the audience to understand. You know, there is a difference here.
Still a big difference.
According to ordinary people's opinions, autism and mental retardation are not much different. If you want the audience to understand your plot.
You can't let the actors' performance go too far beyond their expectations; it must have a certain degree of overlap with their cognition.
For example, many movies and TV dramas about autism nowadays often start to talk to themselves and create some plots in order to highlight that the children of these stars are the most precious treasures in the world and to arouse the sympathy and support of the audience.
For example, because autistic children always live in their own world, their human nature is very pure, and they are rarely affected by others, which allows them to make full use of their own strengths.
We can accept many autistic teenagers. They all have various talents, such as art, mathematics, etc.
There have been many films and TV series that have shown such stories before, and there are many excellent works among them.
However, the producers of film and television dramas cannot be infinitely high and only focus on portraying their genius side, forgetting their inability to communicate with ordinary people.
Stories should still be based on reality.
First of all, you must fully understand your audience. Your audience has little understanding of this disease and is even full of prejudices.
If you push your limits to the limit, the audience will naturally think that you are talking nonsense and have no credibility at all.
They will even find fault with you and deny your story in various ways.
When shooting this type of movie, the most taboo thing is to work behind closed doors, talk to yourself, and always put the plots in your imagination into real life.
As everyone knows, the more real-life cases are accessible, the higher the audience's requirements for them, and the easier it is for them to see flaws.
In the end, maybe the screenwriter and director worked hard and felt that they had put in a hundred times the effort and their sincerity was definitely enough, but in the end they could not win the praise of the audience.
This is because their efforts were originally in the wrong direction.
I thought that I could touch such a difficult topic with just a few books, a few conversations, or reading some stories.
They even view this type of topic very simply, thinking that autistic children are pitiful and need to be protected, and then they fall into a certain kind of taken for granted, and also open up a God's perspective.
He self-righteously designed some plots without any research in advance. He also thought that he had discovered a particularly unpopular subject and had an extremely good vision.
In fact, they just ignored that what he thought was a rare disease actually had many patients, not to mention the families who stood behind the patients.
These people can see at a glance the weakness and falsehood of the scripts they write, so they will naturally not give them favorable reviews.
Therefore, since the Internet era, many disputes have developed in this way.
The crew members felt good about themselves, but their audience didn't think so, and instead found it very outrageous.
With the Internet, everyone has a sharp sword in their hands, and they will never be stingy in using their weapons.
You have to know that this kind of change is very scary for many filmmakers, and they have no way to resist it.
Before that, although they often heard negative comments about their works, at that time, the medium was limited after all.
Even if there is criticism, most of it is second-hand information collected by those media people. Who are these media people?
We are still in the circle, and no matter how sharp their criticisms are, most of the time they are just superficial. Although they are harsh on the outside, in fact, behind the scenes, everyone has a very good relationship.
It doesn't even mean that we are going to break each other's skin, it's the same for both parties.
Even more, because the comments are limited to those within the literary and art circles, these senior film and television people can rarely hear the real voices of the audience.
Although with their abilities, as long as the movie is produced, they are fully capable of knowing the level of their work.
But what the heck!
Anyway, as long as you can make money, what does the audience think, why does it matter?
Don’t they still have to go to the cinema?
Is it free to watch movies?
As long as they buy tickets, I can make money and my goal will be achieved.
The arrival of the Internet era has destroyed all these strong fortresses with one punch, and film and television practitioners have become transparent in front of the audience.
They can no longer wrap their image tightly, and they don't have a golden bell to protect their bodies. Everyone in the audience opens their mouths, regardless of whether they are willing to listen or not, or whether their defenses will be broken.
This is because after the advent of the Internet age, more and more filmmakers have gradually exposed their true faces to the public.
They are always generous with their talents and literary talents, and constantly argue with netizens, but the fact is, how many mouths do they have?
Netizens have thousands of mouths.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The power of the two sides is so disparate, how can a mere filmmaker win? There is no way!
Thinking of the public opinion situation in the future, Wu Di couldn't help but sweat deeply for director Xiao Lu. Such a lively and lovely director can't just let go!
You still have a lot of tasks to do and your life is very sunny!
If he makes a mistake, Director Xiao Lu is very likely to be criticized by the audience. It's not okay for such a sunny person to be scolded for being depressed!
no!
Want to act!
Even if you have to play a fool, you must play it!
Director Xiao Lu, who protects Sunshine, this is our responsibility!
However, although Wu Di was determined, he still wanted to ask, who is my father?
Don’t get me wrong, in the movie...
"Ah, I haven't thought about that candidate yet. In fact, there are not many people to choose from. First of all, you must be of a certain age. The best one is around fifty years old."
"There can be a certain age difference with you."
Well, the age difference is indeed very important. This is the first impression created for the audience. It seems that Director Xiao Lu has a very clear mind.
In the final analysis, this problem still lies with Wu Di. If he was only seven or eight years old, this matter would be much simpler.
Even if the actors opposite him are only in their thirties, the age difference will look very big, and the audience will think it is reasonable.
But now, Wu Di looks like an adult. Even if he can reduce his age through performances, the effect is very limited.
It is indeed difficult to find an actor who can be his father and who matches him in appearance.
Most of the popular male stars on the market are well-maintained and have no sense of vicissitudes. They are at least about seven or eight years younger than their actual age. In other words, even some male stars, judging from their actual age, are still good enough.
Our boss Wu is now a father, but their overall appearance is not that old.
It is very difficult to give the audience the impression of being around forty-five years old.
If Boss Wu doesn't perform well, he will easily come across as a stupid guy pretending to be crazy to his handsome father.
In addition, reputation is also a big problem.
Now Boss Wu has long been reborn and has become a big star. If he wants to play his father, his fame cannot be too far behind.
At least it has to be a red star online.
Therefore, if you want to co-star with Boss Wu, you must at least meet the following conditions: age, over fifty years old, very popular, certain box office results, and in the eyes of the audience, your qualifications can completely overpower Boss Wu.
There should be a certain age difference between his appearance and Wu Di's, so it doesn't look inconsistent.
hehe!
Do you think this is something easy to do?
Not many!
There really aren't many.
Before Wu Di raised this question, Director Xiao Lu had been worrying about this matter. Even if Wu Di did not play the role of the son, based on Director Xiao Lu's setting of the role, the role of the son must be a young man.
Acting.
So, it is really not easy for a young actor with a fair reputation to find an older star who can be his father and whose reputation may even surpass him.
"That's what I think. In fact, you might as well look for those kung fu stars who are already famous. They are generally older and their acting skills are passable. They have been tested by the market for many years. Moreover, they are not inferior to you in terms of fame.
.”
"what do you think?"
Naturally, Director Xiao Lu began to seek Wu Di's opinion. In fact, casting has always been the director's business, and actors have no say.
For actors, whoever the director chooses is who they choose. Even if the actor himself feels that the opponent is not suitable, there is nothing he can do about it.
You can only try your best to play your part well.
But Director Xiao Lu obviously doesn't think so. In her opinion, father and son are the absolute protagonists of this movie.
The interaction between the two of them is the key to the success or failure of the film. The actors who play the father and son must also have a harmonious relationship.
Cooperation must be smooth so that the quality of the film can be guaranteed.
Ours is a word-of-mouth movie, not a fast food movie. Director Xiao Lu has already made this positioning.
"It's not quite...appropriate."
Wu Di didn't know what to say about the sudden choice, but the so-called kung fu superstars who flashed before his eyes were not in line with his imagination.
It is true that these people are relatively older, and there is an absolute age difference with Wu Di. The most important thing is that they have generally been in the industry for 20 or 30 years. In the eyes of the audience, no matter how well-maintained they are,
Also old.
The audience has been able to calmly accept whether they should play father-like roles or be fathers to a man as old as Wu Di.
However, it is not safe to choose them.
"Director, these people do have a lot of advantages, but in my opinion, their box office appeal is somewhat problematic."
"It has been declining year by year in recent years. The key is that a few of them were too general when accepting films. They basically accepted any film, regardless of the quality. As a result, many of them received poor reviews.
movie of."
"The box office reputation is not good at all. Today's audiences are not like before. They have more channels to obtain information. At the same time, they are also willing to express their thoughts, so their remarks are more able to have an impact on the box office."
"I think, director, if you have such an idea, you might as well find a suitable uncle from the domestic entertainment industry. Maybe the box office performance will be better."
Wu Di's words were very tactful, but as an insider, Director Xiao Lu certainly wouldn't be able to hear it.
Wu Di has already circled the so-called kung fu superstars, whose box office performance is not stable, of course, specifically refers to those actors from the Pearl faction.
To be honest, many directors in the industry and even the audience still have certain filters for this group of actors.
I always think that they are still at the top of their game and their popularity is unparalleled, but in fact, in the end, it is the box office that teaches them how to behave.
The audience is the most forgetful, and the audience has the best memory.
Once many things are customized, even if these people try their best, it is almost impossible to change the overall situation.
Even though some bad movies do well at the box office, it's because their audiences don't pay much attention to the quality of the movies.
Moreover, most of the people who pay attention to that type of movies also go there for the handsome men and beauties, in order to support their idols.
And these audiences are the most trend-seeking, and they will not even look at these aging stars, let alone cheer them up.
Those emotional audiences value the quality of movies the most. As for these old stars who come from the top, when they come to domestic entertainment, they are very high-spirited at the beginning.
It's very arrogant, but generally speaking, the scripts they can receive are almost the same as those they used to play in Mingzhu.
There is no big difference.
Because the genres are repetitive and the quality of the films is not very good, it is also their personal box office appeal that is overdrawn.
Because the audience has always had a good impression of them, they are still willing to give them a chance when they see their faces.
But the audience is also very keen. They can be fooled once and twice, but they will not be fooled all the time.
After two or three bad movies, the audience's interest in the big star will instantly drop and they will be full of distrust. As for the box office, there is no need to count on it.
