Chapter 940: The Golden Three Chapters (12,000 daily changes~)
The drizzle of light rain hit the bluestone street like broken beads, and also hit the woman's oil-paper umbrella.
One raindrop turns into several raindrops...
Pedestrians passed by in a hurry on the street, and the two stood looking at each other.
The woman is naturally the female lead played by Yu Feihong.
The two of them looked at each other like forever...
"What are you going to do?" Principal Gu looked at Yu Feihong and asked.
"Kill you!"
"Why?"
"Because you are a child of the night!"
"What are the children of the night?"
"The messenger who brings darkness to this world."
"But I didn't do anything!"
"I know."
"Then can you not kill me?"
"Can!"
The two of them were asking and answering questions, like a pair of friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Okay, I'll go deliver the food first!" Principal Gu said with a smile.
From then on, there was a woman in white clothes next to Principal Gu.
"I finally understand why Lao Wu made two parts of this movie!" Zhang Yimou said seriously.
Chen Kaige also nodded, "Lao Wu filmed it based on a character's growth experience."
Gian Zhuangzhuang also said: "It is difficult to make a movie like this. If it is done well, it will be an epic masterpiece. If it is not done well, it will become a long and boring movie!"
The three of them are directors with the most discerning vision in China today. The movie has only lasted for more than 30 minutes. They can't say whether the movie is good or bad, but the narrative of domestic movies is very important at the moment.
Under the circumstances, the three of them were still interested in continuing to watch.
Instead, it was Zhang Jianya standing by with a playful smile on his face.
Chen Kaige asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
Zhang Jianya said: "I have to admit that you three are all the top directors in the country in terms of honor, but you have ignored one thing!"
Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Tianzhuangzhuang were stunned and asked: "What happened?"
Zhang Jianya said: "In my opinion, Lao Wu has no idea of making an epic movie, and this movie cannot become the kind of successful movie you call it."
The three of them were stunned. No one expected Zhang Jianya to say this.
Zhang Jianya did not wait for them to continue asking, and said directly: "Epic movies will certainly become famous movies in the history of movies, but this movie will not necessarily leave a worse mark than an epic movie in China!"
"How do you say that?" Zhang Yimou asked.
Zhang Jianya pursed her lips towards the audience behind her and said, "Look at their reactions!"
The three of them subconsciously turned around and took a look, and found that the audience in the theater was watching the movie seriously. But is there anything strange about this?
Zhang Jianya explained: "Let me ask you, from the beginning of the movie to now, how many times have you heard exclamations?"
The three of them recalled it, and there were indeed many exclamations in the process.
"Think about it again, where did most of the audience exclaim?"
Among the three, Zhang Yimou was the first to react and said: "I know what you mean!"
Zhang Jianya smiled.
Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang showed puzzled expressions.
This time it was Zhang Yimou who explained to them: "We all misjudged Lao Wu's thoughts on the movie, and we did not watch the movie as ordinary movie fans. It is true that in our opinion, Lao Wu
Wu should be making epic movies, but that’s not what attracted the audience from the very beginning of this movie.”
Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang also showed astonished expressions.
Indeed, at the beginning of this movie, the situation in Liangren County was used to quickly immerse the audience into the story, and then various movie special effects appeared, and then the audience at the scene...
I was quickly attracted by the special effects of the movie.
Chen Kaige once studied in Hollywood for a period of time and said: "Isn't Lao Wu a little bit inferior in quality?"
The same is true for Grange Village.
"The most attractive part of the movie should be the story itself, rather than relying on those gorgeous special effects to get the audience into the cinema. Isn't this nonsense by Lao Wu!"
Although there is no so-called popcorn movie nowadays, after Zhang Jianya's explanation, they also understand that Wu Jianye is shooting such a movie.
Zhang Jianya said nonchalantly: "Looking at some of you, you have known Lao Wu for so long, how come you have never guessed Lao Wu's true thoughts, especially Lao Mouzi, who is also the art consultant for this film?
, you never talked to Lao Wu when you were on the set?"
Zhang Yimou asked subconsciously: "What is Lao Wu's true thoughts?"
Zhang Jianya said: "I remember when we were still in school, Lao Wu said that as a director, you must first be responsible for the audience, secondly be responsible for your own investment, and finally be responsible for your own ideas!"
The three of them nodded and said: "Yes, Lao Wu did say that, but with Lao Wu's current status, shouldn't he return to his roots? His previous movies were very deep.
Aren’t they all good at the box office? Why do we want to make such a movie now?”
Zhang Jian nodded and said: "His previous movies were indeed very successful, but don't forget, how many directors can make such top-notch movies?"
"I have talked with Lao Wu before. Although he, as the boss of Tangting Culture, does not need to be responsible for investors, in fact, everyone knows Lao Wu's character. If he is really allowed to have fun and take pictures, he will actually be
You don’t have to be responsible for the audience, you just need to be happy.”
"I believe that Mr. Wu like this will definitely be able to make films that are at the top of the art film pyramid."
"But you have all forgotten something that Lao Wu also said, that is, the development of the domestic film industry. Nowadays, the best film industry in the world is Hollywood, but what really makes Hollywood films dominate the world is not their art.
Movies, but the so-called blockbusters, it is these blockbusters that help Hollywood movies to take the lead."
"My own idea is that Lao Wu will use the simplest method to tell domestic filmmakers what kind of movies can sell money."
"A movie that attracts the audience's attention is a movie that can sell money!"
"Although the current "Eternal Night" may not show the depth of the story very well in the future, I believe that it will definitely be a real feast visually."
If Wu Jianye were at the scene, he would definitely clink glasses with Zhang Jianya.
Among the fifth and sixth generation directors in China, even those who came later, there are actually not many who can make their films go outside of China.
For foreign filmmakers and audiences, Chinese films will never become mainstream films and can only be disseminated on a small scale.
And in fact, they have never really watched domestic movies seriously.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese film industry began to take off, and there were more theaters. Foreign filmmakers also began to slowly pay attention to Chinese films. At that time, if you asked foreign filmmakers which Chinese filmmaker they most wanted to cooperate with, everyone would
Said it was Zhang Yimou!
At the time when Wu Jianye was reborn, reporters asked Hollywood superstars, such as Vin Diesel from "The Fast and the Furious" or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who they wanted to collaborate with most, and they would say Wu Dan.
This is not actually because they have actually watched these people’s movies, or enjoyed their movies.
It's just that at that time, they were the most popular filmmakers in the country. This was just to show that they knew more about Chinese movies and to please Chinese movie audiences.
The average Chinese movie fan can name at least a few or even a dozen Hollywood stars, as well as their masterpieces.
But if you ask overseas audiences, they know several Chinese movie stars, except for the older generation Cheng Long, Jet Li and others.
How many more can you name?
Again, if Chinese films want to go global, if they just shoot those so-called art films step by step, they should never think about going global.
The first impression a movie gives to the audience is the overall visual effect. Only after the ordinary audience is visually attracted will they enter the story.
It's like writing online novels in later generations.
Ordinary readers have very little patience with new authors. Basically, they can judge whether they will continue reading this novel in the first three chapters.
So for new authors, there are the so-called three golden chapters.
But in fact, those Internet literary masters do not have such recognition for the so-called golden three chapters!
In fact, no one is wrong. New authors need to quickly make readers like their novels, and most readers are more tolerant of master authors, so master authors can better pave the way for their own stories without having to
I am worried that the beginning will be too bland and will scare readers away.
Wu Jianye is now filming the movie "Eternal Night" to give domestic filmmakers a choice.
If you really want to make money from movies, if you can't make a good story, then you should first make the movie's pictures and special effects good, and you can still make money this way.
Domestic movies at this time are like early Internet articles. Don’t worry about how many classics you can produce. Use them first to cultivate the audience. When the audience gets up, Lao Bai will also have his own Internet articles to read, and Xiaobai will also have his own.
Online articles can be read and everyone is reading them, which is the best!
As if to verify Zhang Jianya's words, the subsequent development of the movie "Eternal Night" is impeccable in terms of pictures and special effects. Coupled with the tense and compact story content, the audience has no intention to consider the depth of the story.
.
The middle part of the movie mainly tells the story of Principal Gu, getting along with the eight monsters of Liangren County, and getting to know some of their past stories.
How the two of them settled their differences with He Tong and Jiang Kui and became friends through a short story.
One glance with Yu Feihong is an eternal love story.
In fact, these are also the three most important emotions in the movie.
The relationship between Principal Gu and the Eight Monsters is a metaphor of family affection.
It tells about the friendship with He Tong and Jiang Kui.
Naturally, it’s love with Yu Feihong!
At the same time, it also explains the reason for the emergence of Liangren County, and the relationship between the Eight Monsters and Liangren County. Naturally, there is also a plot of cultivation by Principal Gu.
Especially in the training scenes of Principal Gu, Wu Jianye has applied the special effects of the movie to the extreme of this era. All kinds of fantasy fairy special effects have made the audience unable to take their eyes off it.
What attracted their attention the most was that Principal Gu was sent to a valley where ferocious beasts were rampant. There were various ferocious beasts from the Classics of Mountains and Seas. When those ferocious beasts appeared in front of their eyes, they were so shocked.
, which is difficult to express in the story itself.
When entering the second half, Liu Yijun's appearance also represents the emergence of the villain in the movie.
At the same time, the movie also explains the background of Emperor Ming behind Liu Yijun. Emperor Ming is the ruler of this country and the existence closest to the gods.
Emperor Ming was not a bad person in the traditional sense, and was even called Lord Ming by the people.
But Emperor Ming also had his own principles, that is, no one could break the existing rules of this country. At the same time, the identity of Principal Gu was also revealed bit by bit.
It turns out that according to Emperor Ming's calculations, Principal Gu was sent by God to descend into the eternal night. After the eternal night falls, the world will fall into darkness, and it will take thousands of years for such darkness to return to light!
One thousand years is enough time to kill 99% of the world’s humans!
So Emperor Ming wanted to get rid of Principal Gu.
And Liu Yijun is the one who takes action!
"We will not help you in this matter. If we take action, Emperor Ming will lead his army to attack Liangren County, and Liangren County will no longer exist." Chen Yu said.
The Eight Monsters do not have deep feelings for the people in Liangren County, they just like the feeling of living here.
So in the first movie of "Eternal Night", Liu Yijun is actually the real villain!
Thunder roars!
Liu Yijun rode the black snake and finally arrived at Liangren County.
"Come out and die!" Liu Yijun's voice covered the entire Liangren County.
Principal Gu, holding a long sword, rose into the air and faced Liu Yijun.
The fight between the two was filled with various movie special effects, with flying swords and spears reflecting each other, and mountains and seas rising out of thin air.
This kind of scene, coupled with the intense soundtrack, makes the audience addicted to it. This is a movie scene that has never appeared in Chinese movies.
As Zhang Jianya said, even if the story of this movie is a bit weak, the whole picture of the movie is enough to make this movie leave a mark in the history of Chinese movies.
In the end, of course, Principal Gu defeated Liu Yijun.
"The Son of the Night is a misfortune brought down to destroy the common people. If you kill one of you, you can save the common people. I will not give up!" Liu Yijun roared.
Principal Gu: "Even though I am in Liangren County, I have never killed anyone. Why do you say that I will destroy the common people?"
After the final collision between the two, Liu Yijun fell into the sky.
Principal Gu returned to Liangren County, but at this time everyone in Liangren County no longer looked at him the same way as before.
And as the scene changed, on the top of the mountain, Emperor Ming also opened his eyes: It seems that he is going to take a trip himself!
At this point in the movie, the scene stops abruptly...
The movie is over, please look forward to the second part of "Eternal Night"!
ps: The description of the movie will definitely make some friends not satisfied with the story. Huang Shan would like to apologize first. After all, if the whole story is told, it will probably be a novel of four to five million words. I hope that this story can be told in the future.
