Bi Zhifei everyone knows, right?
It is the director who won the "lowest score in history" of Douban with "Dream Showbiz".
He recently participated in a variety show to make a short film, which unexpectedly received a lot of praise.
Isn't it true that the three days of Shibetsu should be impressed with the eyes -
He also has to rely on word of mouth to turn over?
Uncle today I want to see how capable this variety show is:
"Director Please Advise"
This poster is also too out of line with the reading order, and if you are not careful, you will see it as "Guide to Instruction".
"Director Please Advise" is a derivative variety show of "Actors Please Be in Place".
Bao Bell, Bi Zhifei, Cai Kangyong, Degna, Han Xue, Liang Long, Ning Yuanyuan, Qian Ninghuang, Wang Wenye, Wang Xuan, Wang Yichun, Wu Zhongtian, Wu Zhenyu, Xiang Guoqiang, Shu Sheng, Zeng Gift.
Sixteen directors were put on the arena and "killed" each other.
Only to compete for the "Most Valuable Director of the Year" award.
Their short films will first be watched by the film group and a team of producers composed of Wang Jing, Fang Li, Chen Zhixi and Hao Lei, and then make a choice.
The first round was Bao Bell ("Sunshine Sister Tao", "Fat Man Action Team") and Xiang Guoqiang ("Sudden Holiday", "Young Babylon") on the same stage PK.
Both chose Nezha as the subject of the short film adaptation.
Xiang Guoqiang, who was sent by the academy, paid more attention to the sense of form when shooting.
"Non-linear narrative", "montage editing" and "slide track" are all playing flying.
But because it is too fancy, it cuts the story of the short film.
Bao Bell himself is an actor transformation, so the shooting method is more "simple".
He was directly bye in the process of mutual selection with actors because of the poor reputation of historical works.
No way, he had to adopt a new actor.
Although the final work was incomplete, it was unanimously loved by everyone.
As soon as the score came out, Bao Bell beat Xiang Guoqiang.
His public attendance and professional attendance led, and he and producer Chen Zhixi successfully selected each other.
The second group of directors is Liang Long ("Crazy Alien" music) and Bi Zhifei ("Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz").
Liang Long chose to adapt "Crazy Alien".
And Bi Zhifei took a fancy to the classic old film "Spring in a Small Town".
Although Liang Long is a new director, he is well-known in the music industry.
Lead singer of the rock band Used Roses.
People who engage in art are proud, and Liang Long is no exception.
He took a side and made an experimental avant-garde film.
The whole film is black and white, and there is no continuous plot.
Just over halfway through the play, I was cut off because the number of votes was too low.
However, Bi Zhifei's side did not go very well.
Filming is about to begin, and he hasn't yet decided which version of the script to use.
The character biography in the hands of the actor is completely inconsistent with the content of the script.
On the surface, look at Bi Dao's "Spring in a New Small Town".
For himself, it is undoubtedly a big breakthrough.
At least you can see it.
Take a closer look
You will find that this "progress" has a bit of a speculative taste.
Draw the tiger against the original version, only minor changes.
Can it be called a success?
But compared to the confusing Liang Guide.
The audience obviously prefers what can be understood.
With a sharp advantage of 73 votes, Bi Dao entered the next round.
"Director Please Advise" has only aired one episode so far, and it is already full of gunpowder.
Groups of different positions debated fiercely, and they almost did not pick up a stool and beat people.
Shu read through the article and summarized the three main points of conflict.
First of all, it is the contradiction between the director's personal expression and the commercial nature of the film.
If you want to make a commercial film, the most important consideration is the acceptance of the audience.
What the audience loves to watch, what the audience wants to see, whether the audience can understand.
While showing himself, the director must also use the film structure to build a bridge of communication with the audience.
As the saying goes, since the audience has paid for it, the director is responsible for the audience.
Of course, the director has the right to be unfettered and to go backwards at will.
A very small number of talented directors, according to their own gameplay, can still reap success.
But for the rest of the people, it can be said that it is difficult to get both fish and bear paws.
Second, there is the contradiction between ordinary audiences and professional film critics.
In the eyes of ordinary audiences, watching a movie is nothing more than a pleasure.
They often judge a work by intuition.
If the taste doesn't match, it's a bad movie.
But in the eyes of professional film critics, film judgment has multiple dimensions.
The plot, the set, the shooting method, etc., are all to be considered.
They tend to have a wealth of reading and related connoisseurship knowledge.
As a result, there is a huge gap of opinion between the two groups.
Professional film critics believe that they exist to help ordinary audiences better understand the film.
Don't miss the masterpiece because of the superficial "did not understand";
Don't put a film of poor quality on the altar because of the superficial "tallness".
The general audience is opposed to -
"Don't want to eat sugar cane that others have chewed"
A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts.
No one obeys anyone.
The final point of conflict is the contradiction between variety shows and movies.
"Director Please Advise" was filmed for each director, leaving only two days.
Two days, forty-eight hours.
In the case of catching up with the progress, it is also necessary to ensure the quality, which is more difficult.
A variety show must pursue popularity.
What if there is no heat?
Then take the initiative to create a topic.
The gimmick of a "bad film director".
Bottoming out and rebounding word of mouth reversed.
Different criteria for judging.
Enough eyeballs from the audience, it is true that the game is clear.
However, there are still praiseworthy points for "Director Please Advise".
It gives newcomer directors the opportunity to start again, and also provides a stage for directors who once had a bad reputation to start again.
For ordinary people who like movies, the mystery of film shooting has been unveiled.
After the big waves, there will still be pearls.
As long as the show can contribute a pearl to the film industry, it is worth it.
Do you have any thoughts on the show?
