Chapter 787 Absurdity and reality (4100+ chapters~)
The first half of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is actually a very plain story, with neither too strong emotional conflicts nor too deliberate character conflicts.
Just like what the director said in the movie, this is a reality show without a script, and Chu Xing is just like most of the people around us or himself.
I live a nine-to-five life every day.
I have a wife, I have friends, I have a family...
If the movie "The World of Chu Xing" does not have the narration by the director, the audience, etc. to let the movie audience know that this is a show, then this movie will be a very ordinary movie and there is no way to attract people.
Moviegoers.
But now through the editing of the movie, the movie audience now has two completely different psychology. First, they put themselves into Chu Xing's body, hoping that Chu Xing can discover all this scam early. At the same time, they are also Chu Xing's show.
The audience, they see themselves in Chu Xing’s life bit by bit...
"This movie is amazing!" Cheng Long sat next to Wu Jianye and whispered.
As an actor, he saw something different: "Director Wu, Xingzai's performance this time has been completely different from his previous style. I believe this movie will make him become a better person than he is now."
Mature actor."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Long asked in a low voice: "Director Wu, do you think I need to make a movie different from an action comedy?"
Every movie actor has his own pursuit, and so does Cheng Long. Now his action comedy is his sharpest weapon, and it is also shackles on his career as an actor. Cheng Long also hopes that he can be more than action comedy.
Have better development!
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "Of course, but I don't recommend you to put more thoughts on it. The perfection of anything is art, and the same is true for your action comedy. As an ordinary audience
Personally speaking, I hope your movies will always bring us joy, but as a film practitioner, it’s not a bad idea to occasionally shoot one or two other types of movies!”
In fact, Cheng Long does have plans to expand more acting opportunities for himself.
"I have a script in my hand now, but I haven't decided whether to shoot it or not. Director Wu, if you have time, please help me take a look at it!" Cheng Long had absolute trust in Wu Jianye.
First of all, where is Wu Jianye's identity? He will not have any ideas about other people's scripts. At the same time, Cheng Long also hopes that Wu Jianye will use a professional eye to see if his new movie has any hope of success.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "After the movie is over, show me the script!"
Cheng Long smiled: "Thank you, Director Wu!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That's so polite!"
In the movie, Chu Xing's life calmed down again under the persuasion of his mother, but this peace did not last long. The radio in the car had a cross-channel situation again, which made Chu Xing really understand the situation he was in.
The environment created huge doubts.
This kind of suspicion can no longer be eliminated by a few words from outsiders!
So Chu Xing began to tentatively search for the truth of the world. He observed everyone around him and found that they were all so familiar, as if he could see them every day. At the same time, he also found that these people seemed to be paying attention silently.
he.
So Chu Xing ran to the middle of the road again, stretched out his hands, and stopped the car. He felt that he became the center of the world at this moment.
Just like every adult thought that he was the center of the world when he was a teenager!
"When I was young, I thought I was the center of the world and everyone revolved around me. As I grew up, I realized that I was not the center of the world, but just a part of it.
, when my life experience became richer and richer, I realized that I might just be a pawn in this world, and sometimes I couldn’t even decide my own life!”
Chen Kaige suddenly said this in a literary and artistic way...
In an office building, Chu Xing discovered the staff hiding behind the elevator. At this time, Chu Xing fell into great panic. He stepped directly from the fantasy of the center of the world to the stage of chess pieces.
When Chu Xing was in panic, the first thing he thought of was his good friend Li Chongnian!
So he came to his friend's convenience store and wanted to seek his help. However, at this time, Li Zhongnian was still completing the tasks assigned to him by the director and thinking of ways to tell Chu Xing that everything he thought was false.
Yes, life is real.
"What the hell kind of good friend is this!" Ren Xiaonian couldn't help scolding: "Too bad I thought he really regarded Chu Xing as a friend at first!"
"Ke Zi, are you sent here by a certain director to deceive me?" Ren Xiaonian then asked Zhang Ke nervously.
Zhang Ke didn't pay too much attention to the plot of the movie at this time. His mind was still on Wu Meiwei's hand. He could clearly feel that his palms were sweating, but he didn't want to let go of Wu Meiwei's hand easily, so he had to secretly
Loosening it, wiping it, and then quickly holding it again is like stealing something.
Wu Meiwei smiled and said nothing.
Both Li Chongnian and Chu Xing's mother, Qin Sang, were trying hard to get Chu Xing to give up such an idea, but at this time Chu Xing had already become extremely suspicious of the world, and he decided to start investigating from his wife.
So he secretly followed Qin Sang to the hospital where he worked, where he saw the extremely unprofessional side of the doctors and nurses in the operating room.
At this time, the audience in the screening room burst into laughter.
This is a strange movie. The theme of the movie can be seen by anyone at this time. It is a very depressing or tragic movie. However, with the director's expression techniques and Zhou Xingchi's slightly neurotic performance, this kind of movie is made possible.
Depression and tragedy are reduced to the extreme.
As Wu Jianye said, not every audience likes to delve into the so-called core of the movie. What they actually want is to relax and have a good time during these ninety minutes.
And all of this has actually been accomplished by the movie "The World of Chu Xing".
Zhang Guoyi said to Zhou Xingchi next to him: "This is the best movie I have ever seen that can combine business and art!"
Zhou Xingchi asked: "The movie hasn't ended yet, do you think there will be no problem with the box office of this movie?"
Zhang Guoyi nodded and said: "Just look at the reaction of the audience. Many art films are shot in a very depressing way, but this film is different. He neither wants to be like a commercial film without any core, nor does he want to be like a commercial film."
Movies like literary and artistic films can make people sleepy. Xingzi, I have a hunch that this movie will become a classic in your film career!"
Zhou Xingchi also showed a smile at this time. After the filming of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" was completed, Zhou Xingchi had not seen the finished film. The most intuitive experience for him at that time was that he felt that his acting skills had improved again.
After reaching a new level, some things that were not visible in the past can now be done with ease.
But when he saw the finished film today, he actually felt what Zhang Guoyi meant.
"I'm so lucky to have participated in this movie!" Zhou Xingchi finally said.
Zhang Guoyi said with deep sympathy: "You are indeed very lucky!"
In the movie, Chu Xing starts to talk to Qin Sang about the absurdity of the world. In fact, at this time, he no longer believes Qin Sang. He just wants to find someone to talk to and vent his anger.
So he locked the car and began to try to lead Qin Sang out of this world.
When the car drove onto the bridge, Chu Xing's first test came out.
When the audience saw Chu Xing closing his eyes and letting Qin Sang drive the car across the bridge, their thoughts were extremely complicated. They didn't know how to describe their current mood.
What was shown in the movie was actually quite funny, and everyone laughed out loud, but after laughing, they felt a deep sadness.
They felt sad for Chu Xing.
I also thought about myself, when will I have the courage to take action to change my current life?
In the end, the car drove across the bridge, but encountered another disaster, and Chu Xing was also stopped by the police and forcibly sent back to his home.
When Chu Xing returned home, he finally collapsed, and the one who collapsed with him was Qin Sang. The collapsed Qin Sang finally said: Not professional at all!
The movie doesn't focus on this section here, it just lets him pass peacefully.
In fact, Wu Jianye also had an idea here, precisely because by not dealing with these details, the audience knew that Chu Xing at this time was actually convinced that he was living in a fictional world.
After going through everything in the past, he is extremely determined at this time.
So when Chu Xing and Li Chongnian sat on the bridge again and confessed their feelings, Chu Xing, who had always talked a lot in the past, stopped talking. He was listening to Li Chongnian telling all this. He expected his good friend to
Be able to tell yourself the truth.
But Li Chongnian didn't. He even told Chu Xing that he had never deceived Chu Xing. At this time, Chu Xing had tears in his eyes just like Li Chongnian.
But their tears were different.
Li Chongnian must have felt guilty in his heart, so when he said all this, the guilt in his heart brought tears to his eyes.
But Chu Xing was different. Chu Xing's tears showed that even at this time, Li Zhongnian was still deceiving himself.
At the same time, the director played by Wu Jianye also appeared on the scene again. He silently ordered how to switch the camera so that the audience in the movie could be infected by the friendship between the two.
"These two people are so damn bad!" Ren Xiaonian complained again.
"Can you please be quiet?" Liao Jiamin finally couldn't help it.
Ren Xiaonian chuckled and said: "No, you see this is so annoying. That director really thinks he is a god and controls everything, and so does Li Chongnian. Chu Xing is a good brother who grew up with him, and he actually
For this so-called show, I have been deceiving my brother."
Liao Jiamin nodded sympathetically and said, "It would be really sad to live in such a world!"
In the screening room where Wu Jianye and others were, Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie were also chatting about this situation.
Unlike ordinary viewers who completely immersed themselves in the movie, Deng Jie focused on Zhang Guoli's acting skills.
"The handling of this episode is really great. Not a single tear fell, which is the best performance!" Deng Jie praised Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Guoli said with a smile: "Actually, during the filming, I remember that this scene was shot 28 times. At the beginning, I shed tears, but Director Wu was always dissatisfied. I was still a little dissatisfied at the time, but
Now after seeing the finished film, I realize how correct Director Wu’s decision was!"
Deng Jie nodded and said: "Have you noticed that Director Wu's training of actors' acting skills has a magical power that is beyond ordinary directors? It seems that every actor can develop better than ordinary acting skills after being trained by Director Wu!"
"I think even if Director Wu is not as famous as before, just this alone is enough to make any actor willing to work with him!"
Zhang Guoli agreed: "It's not just about training acting skills, the color of the movie, the use of lenses, the processing of details... At this time, I have to admit that some people are really geniuses. I really wonder how Director Wu did this.
Everything.”
This time, Zhang Guoli learned a lot from his cooperation with Wu Jianye, not only in terms of acting, but also in terms of directing.
This actually laid a solid foundation for Zhang Guoli to later become a director himself.
Wang Xiaochuan on the side also had the same feeling. As the assistant director of this film, he was the one who could best feel what Wu Jianye showed in this film.
At this time, Wang Xiaochuan was not talking to anyone. He just wanted to quietly enjoy this excellent movie!
Then a new character appeared again in the movie. In fact, it cannot be said to be a new character, because this character has appeared twice before.
It’s just that there aren’t many shots, and it’s Chu Xing’s father who appears.
All the viewers in the movie were moved by this scene, but all the viewers outside the screen once again felt the complicated emotions in their hearts.
This is a chilling feeling. In order to keep Chu Xing in this world, the film director can really do anything.
Then the movie entered a brief period of calm again, and Yao Yuping, played by Chen Hong, appeared again. The audience outside the screen saw Chu Xingxiu's causes and consequences through her eyes.
Every audience member knew how Chu Xing appeared. At this time, everyone's previous doubts were finally solved. They knew the influence of Chu Xingxiu and the absurdity of his world...
..
After the director played by Wu Jianye received a call from Yao Yuping, played by Chen Hong, the anger of the audience outside the movie towards the director played by Wu Jianye rose to another peak...
