Although Li Ru does not have many works in the industry, he is very senior. He was the deputy director and production director of the classic version of "Journey to the West". It is said that he almost played Tang Monk.
Coupled with his rich net worth, he has a very proud character.
Of the four mentors on the "Actors Come to PK" program team, the only one who truly convinced him was Zhang Kaigang.
Zuo Le has made great achievements, but he just thinks that Zuo Le has high professional level and strong ability, and respects him, but he is not convinced yet.
Yan Fei is even worse.
As for Guo Xiaosi, Li Ru never took him seriously from beginning to end.
But Zuo Le's several comments today made Li Ru, who had always been arrogant, admire Zuo Le in his heart.
Not everyone has the courage to speak out against some of the ills of the industry. Even if you have good intentions, others may not appreciate it.
Just like when he was angry at Chen Xiao, maybe Chen Xiao knew that Zuo Le was good for him and he would not resent Zuo Le.
But Chen Xiao's agent, his boss, and even some of his fan groups don't think Zuo Le did the right thing.
Because Zuo Le told the truth, he tore off Chen Xiao's hypocritical idol halo and revealed his original ugly face. This was definitely a heavy blow to Chen Xiao's image and would even cause a lot of losses.
How could they not resent Zuo Le?
Even the capital and companies behind other idols who were implicated because of Chen Xiao will resent Zuo Le because of this.
Even if the mountains and rivers are powerful, it will be a big trouble for those companies to unite.
Zuo Le could have avoided this trouble.
He Heqi acts as a gentle mentor and goes through the motions. With his prestige, the audience will not have any objections and may even think that he is a gentle person, which will greatly increase their goodwill.
But Zuo Le didn't. He chose to tell the truth and told the actors and the audience with harsh and vicious comments.
That's not how the play works.
………
Based on this, Li Ru admired Zuo Le and compared his feelings with his own. If he were Zuo Le, he might not dare to complain like that.
But having said that, Zuo Le is mostly in the industry and dares to speak out about the disadvantages. He is just a man who plays tricks and has nothing to do with those entertainment companies, so what does he have to worry about.
Lao Li was suddenly enlightened as if the clouds had cleared and he saw the sun.
Therefore, after Zuo Le finished speaking and it was his turn to speak, he immediately output like crazy.
"Director Zuo has just talked about the performance issue, and I want to talk about my thoughts on this work.
In fact, I have said this before. I think the clips selected by the program crew are very bad, including the previous two, which are too one-sided, frivolous, and are all about love and love.
They are all works like this. They have no promotion effect on young people and have no connotation.
Especially for this work, high school students are in love, or it is a love triangle. As soon as several actors approached, the audience in the background started to boo.
Is this a healthy creative environment?
What concept is conveyed to the audience?
I read the information and said that this is a movie adapted from a best-selling book. These are all best-selling books. I want to ask, what education did those young readers and viewers get from it? Do they fall in love every day?"
Li Ru's voice became louder and louder, and the face of Guo Xiaosi, the original author at the tutor's table, became darker and darker.
Da Dong also didn't expect that Li Ru didn't comment on the actors, but instead directly criticized the program team or the current abnormal phenomenon in the entertainment industry, and even scolded Guo Xiaosi.
This is different from Zuo Le. No matter how harsh Zuo Le's words are, it is the instructor's responsibility to criticize actors based on emotion and reason.
This was a bit of an excuse for Lao Li. The big director was afraid that the show would get out of control, so he hurriedly stepped forward to control the show and signaled Lao Zhang to comment, hoping to cover up the matter. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kai just didn't speak, and Guo Xiaosi spoke first.
"Director Kai Gang, wait a minute, I have something to say."
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, and the audience also applauded excitedly.
Are you going to tear it apart??!!
Guo Xiaosi didn't look very good, but his demeanor was good. He was even in the mood to comment on the three actors first, and then changed his tone.
"First of all, I think that before expressing an opinion, you must first understand what it is. Teacher Li just said that our work is love love love.
In fact, "A River of Sadness" is the first domestic film to seriously discuss school violence. Its core is to guide people to pay attention to school bullying, and at the same time reflect the youth of a generation.
Today, I remembered a sentence that moved me the most.
You can always like what you don't like, but please allow it to exist.
You can continue to hate the things you hate, but please allow others to like them.
Whether it’s movies or movies, I think a hundred flowers should bloom, which is precisely the charm of literary and artistic creation.”
As soon as Guo Xiaosi finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. Even Lao Zhang and Yan Fei were convinced by his words and clapped gently.
Lao Li did not expect that Guo would refute him, nor did he expect that Guo would be so eloquent. He suddenly fell into passivity and looked quite ugly.
At this time, Zuo Le laughed.
Existence is reasonable, Guo Xiaosi is sophistry.
…………
Zuo Le looked at Lao Li who was so angry that his hair was white with sweat, and out of a good impression of him, he took the initiative to take the conversation.
"Let me think about a few words."
Although Guo Xiaosi has been in the limelight just now, his popularity is still much lower than that of Zuo Le. As soon as Zuo Le opened his mouth, he attracted everyone's attention to himself again.
"I listened to what the two instructors just said. First of all, I think Teacher Li's words were a little extreme, but the original intention was good.
I think what he means is that it’s not that we can’t shoot love scenes, but that we have to shoot high-quality love scenes with depth and content, and we need to introduce some healthy and positive values to the audience.”
Zuo Le first singled out Lao Li, set the tone for his words, and reduced everyone's dislike of him.
To be honest, what Li Ru just said was not wrong, but it was too extreme and his tone was strong, which could easily arouse everyone's resistance and disgust, so Guo Xiaosi seized on the loophole and easily refuted it.
After rescuing Lao Li ashore first, Zuo Le looked at Guo Xiaosi and smiled.
"Director Xiao Si just said that you need to understand something before expressing an opinion. It just so happens that I have read the book "Sadness Against the Current".
You just said that the core of this film is to discuss campus violence and reflect the youth of a generation.
I don’t deny that there is campus violence. There are indeed relevant plots in the book, but I also want to ask, how much of this kind of plot accounts for in the book, 20% or 30%?
As for reflecting the youth of a generation, with all due respect, at least within the scope of my understanding, I have not seen how many middle school students in China have experienced domestic violence, pregnancy, abortion, jumping off a building, wrist slitting, horny love and other incidents.
Taking the individual cases of a few people, combining them into one person, and then saying that she represents the youth of a generation, I want to cry out for the ordinary students who study hard and grow up healthily.
Regarding the two points I just mentioned, Director Xiaosi, the core of what you just said is not very tenable.
Or perhaps, this film "A River of Sadness" is essentially a bloody love story wrapped in campus violence and youth."
Damn it!
The fight was so harsh!!!
The audience was in a state of excitement. Even Yan Fei didn't hold her hand, covering her mouth and looking at Zuo Le in surprise.
Lao Zhang, who was sandwiched between Zuo Le and Guo Xiaosi, was no longer calm. He turned slightly sideways, ready to run away before the two of them took action.
Lao Li also had a rough idea, but instead of running away, he was going to roll up his sleeves and go up to help Zuo Le.
As for Sun Tang, the chief director in the backstage control room, he was almost torn to death.
Should I intervene?
It's a pity that such a once-in-a-lifetime hot scene was forced to end.
If you don't intervene, if the two of them really fight, it might affect the program "Actors Come to PK".
The two villains in Sun Tang's mind were fighting like crazy...
………
Other melon-eaters reacted like this, not to mention the person involved, Guo Xiaosi, who stared at Zuo Le unabashedly and almost got angry.
Zuo Le didn't care at all.
fight?
It's not that he looks down on others, but Guo Xiaosi's size makes him feel comfortable with both hands.
Zuo Le ignored the reactions of outsiders and continued to refute Guo Xiaosi's words.
The host Da Dong was afraid of something happening and wanted to stop Zuo Le. When the director's voice came from the central control room, Da Dong immediately shut up and stood next to the three dumb actors and continued to eat.
"Director Xiaosi, you just said, 'You can...but please allow him to exist. You can...continue to hate the things you hate, but please allow...' Can I interpret this as the existence is reasonable?"
Although Zuo Le's words were extremely venomous, his tone was extremely gentle and polite.
Guo Xiaosi's teeth were almost broken with hatred, but in full view of everyone, he still did not dare to show his face and nodded.
"Can."
Zuo Le's smile became even brighter: "Then I want to tell you that this sentence is wrong. The accurate translation of Hegel's original text is "Everything exists for a reason."
If it is reasonable if it exists, then crimes such as murder and robbery also exist. Can you say that they are reasonable?
Similarly, our current film and television market has a large accumulation of inferior works. As practitioners, we do not change or optimize.
But to emphasize that its existence is reasonable and to defend these inferior works in sophistry, I think this is strong words and putting the cart before the horse.
Literary and artistic works emphasize letting a hundred flowers bloom, but the prerequisite is to ensure quality and diversify into good aspects.
If bad movies can be considered as a hundred flowers blooming, then why should we make movies, and actors like them should act and hone their acting skills, just make them casually, anyway, everyone is attracted to their own eyes, and their existence is reasonable."
"..."
Guo Xiaosi's face turned green and red after being sprayed by Zuo Le. He wanted to force himself to continue arguing with Zuo Le, but looking at Zuo Le's half-smiling eyes, he just didn't dare to muster the courage.
Fortunately, at this time, host Da Dong received instructions from the director team and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
"Thanks to several instructors for their wonderful comments, we will enter a few minutes of advertising. Audiences in the live broadcast room should not leave."
Da Dong announced that the live broadcast was suspended, and Guo Xiaosi couldn't sit down anymore. He stood up and said he was going to the bathroom.
Zuo Le was calm as usual, Yan Fei gave him a thumbs up in admiration, and kept talking about how young people are.
Taking this opportunity, Li Ru also came over to express his gratitude. There was no need to intervene in this matter, but he stepped forward and spoke uprightly, which made Lao Li feel grateful in his heart.
"When I opened my mouth, I couldn't see that he was sophistry and deceitful, so I just treated him in the same way."
"So, Director Zuo, what you just said was sophistry?" Yan Fei asked curiously.
Zuo Le laughed: "Of course it's sophistry, but it's more aggressive. Xiao Si didn't win the argument with me, he won with my anger."
This is Zuo Le's sincere words. A topic like this is not suitable for normal debate at all. Otherwise, it will be public speaking and public speaking, and mother-in-law saying mother-in-law is right. If it finally rises to the level of philosophy, it will be endless.
Therefore, if you want to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, you must win by surprise. The words Zuo Le just retorted are actually not without flaws if you think about it carefully.
But unfortunately, Guo Xiaosi was stunned at first, and then intimidated by Zuo Le's momentum. He had no time to think and react, so he could only end up in a disastrous defeat...
About 5 minutes later, Guo Xiaosi came back from the bathroom, his expression returned to normal, but his eyes looked at Zuo Le, but he was ready to move.
He was not idle in the bathroom just now. He hid in the cubicle and carefully reviewed the game.
At this time, Guo had already realized that he had fallen into Zuo Le's trick, so he thought of words to fight back in his mind and prepared to fight Zuo Le again.
It's a pity that the program team did not give Guo Xiaosi this opportunity.
While Guo Xiaosi was reviewing the performance in the bathroom, the program team asked Zuo Le and the other three for their opinions, and then directly rated the three actors and then skipped the review process.
A small quarrel is pleasant, but a big quarrel is harmful to the body.
Chief Director Sun Tang knows very well what it means to give up when things go well. Anyway, the heat just now was enough. If the argument continues, he is really afraid of something happening.
So when Guo Xiaosi came back and was gearing up to fight again, he found that the program team had already started to prepare the next group of actors for the performance.
He had been thinking a lot in the bathroom, but he could only hold it in his heart and could not vent it out.
Guo Xiaosi:(°ー°〃)
