The 9th issue of "Director Please Advise" has produced two blockbuster works, in the two heavens of ice and fire, people can feel what kind of principles should be followed in the birth of a film (short film), and through this program, people lament that the director is really a key factor in the birth of the film, and if it is not grasped well, success and failure are between a thought.
The first blockbuster work was Wang Yichun's "The Sound of Music". In the brain hole to get the like of many people present, and finally won 243 votes, almost all votes, why is this so?
If you summarize it, there are two main points:
First, the story of the film is very strong, the intention is very high, to be small and broad, to combine the tragic life with the elegant art, and the music has no borders and classes.
Second, the light and shadow of the film are used very well, forming a strong contrast, which is very attractive to the scene.
As David Podwell emphasized in Cinematic Art: Form and Style: Light can almost determine the power of an image. Podwell even argues that there is not a single detail in the scheduling of scenes that is more important than "the drama of light and its adventures."
The second "blockbuster" is Xiang Guoqiang's "Not Bad Money".
The film did explode, because the audience exit point exploded, if there is no exit mechanism, it is estimated that the ticket will be lower, 119 votes are basically the best score for the work that has not been released, if it is below 120 votes, it is just at the same time to press more people, it is estimated to be lower, can only say that the director is lucky, get a 119 votes.
To sum up, this work is in stark contrast to Wang Yichun's work.
First, in terms of storytelling, the intention of the story is very popular, but the way of expression is a little low, and the most important point is that the logic in the film is untenable and cannot be self-consistent.
Second, in terms of light and shadow performance, Xiang Guoqiang abandoned the conventional color performance and directly added a filter to the film, making people feel that they are not watching conventional films, but watching underground small movies.
Third, the motivation and acting skills of the actors in the play are also hard injuries, even if you want to be ironic, the acting skills must be online, and the motivation is logical.
Finally, why the scene triggered a comprehensive confrontation between the audience and the commentators, there is also an important point is that Xiang Guoqiang's attitude is a problem, in the eyes of the audience is a little too arrogant and arrogant.
In the end, Xiang Guoqiang's film caused more controversy.
01
First, let's talk about the hard wound problem of the film "The Thing That Is Not Bad for Money". Compared with liang long's two works in "Director Please Advise", which people can't understand, the works of director Xiang Guoqiang can still be understood.
Just reading it doesn't mean you like it. First of all, in terms of storytelling, what this work expresses is not the same thing as what the director emphasizes.
Xiang Guoqiang said that in this film, he wants to shoot the simplicity of a boy, using his simplicity and persistence to make a confrontation with the impetuous society.
However, the story of the overall film looks down, except for the point that has not been finished (there is a particularly hard advertisement that is not finished) and does not understand what he wants to express.
The most intuitive feeling of the audience is the bad taste and do not know where the focus is.
So Hao Lei asked directly: I especially want to ask XiangDao what you really want to do?
Hao Lei commented very well: the story is very grounded, but I don't know what they are acting for all the people?
Hao Lei made a commentary on the motivation of the characters in the film, and no character's motivation can stand.
This point agrees with Hao Lei's view. Take the car wash brother played by Wang Mian, it is possible to see a little perseverance, but it is a little unclear whether it is really stupid or fake stupid.
As for the existence of the sister in the play, whether there is any impact on the development of the plot at all, such as returning the prop gun to the actress, it is only because the other party issued a driving license, proving that it is the owner of the car that returned the prop gun placed under the sofa to the other party.
It has nothing to do with whether the sister is favored by the other party or the sister intercedes, so what is the role of the sister in the film?
Others, such as the exaggerated performance of the actors in the play, etc. do not need to be elaborated, in short, the requirements for acting skills In addition to the fact that Teacher Fan Ming can also watch, others in the play basically do not feel the level of acting skills.
In addition, the film's light and shadow, color, and lens expression look full of texture, but together it is very uncomfortable.
As Hao Lei said: I think this problem is already very serious, you know how to use that lens, you know how to cut, but you just don't know how to put it together.
In the end, the movie did bring a strong sense of discomfort to the audience, which is why the public watched the movie and pressed the leave button.
If the film is poorly filmed, it is a matter of level, if you do not reflect on it, it is another matter, I don't know if Xiang Guoqiang has any ideas in this regard, but his emotional intelligence and attitude are bigger problems on the spot.
02
When Xiang Guoqiang had some questions after the film was screened and the public group had some questions, he thought that everyone threw out the questions and finally answered them uniformly, which has made many people feel a little incredible.
There is a scene in the program that Hao Lei sighed when she heard Xiang Guoqiang say that she answered uniformly afterwards, presumably not expecting xiang to have such an attitude to treat others' doubts.
After Hao Lei finished commenting, it was reasonable to face such a pertinent comment, as a reaction to a little high emotional intelligence, it was also appropriate to express a humble attitude.
This point must be studied hard by Cai Kangyong, although the film is not well made, but it has won everyone's respect, because he is very modest, has been self-criticism, accept everyone's correction.
However, how did Xiang Guoqiang respond: I myself think that the reaction on the spot is not too important to me. I have a great deal of awareness of myself, so I don't react at all.
At this time, the atmosphere of the scene is a little awkward, do you let everyone say or not to say?
Of course, since the finished product has come out, everyone still has something to say. Yuan Zixian said that he watched the film directed by Xiang: it fully proves that the fun is low-level.
Chen Zhixi believes that the biggest problem is that from the text to the presentation, it has always been distorted, the various logics in the play are not valid, and the motivations of the characters are very vague.
Li Chengru also believes that the film is completely distorted, whether it is a real gun or a fake gun in the play, the final story is not established, and a blind film was filmed.
Wang Xudong said very boldly: This part can already be described as depraved, and I think you have to be alert, this is a very fatal thing.
However, in the face of so many viewers, film critics, and producers' doubts or kind reminders, Xiang Guoqiang insisted that all explanations were superfluous.
And I think that I have studied the Internet, and I think that it will spread rapidly in the "Internet secondary market", and there will be a certain fixed fan on the Internet.
I hurried to check whether there was a submarket on the Internet.
Good guys, checked for half a day did not find this big word, do not know whether it is the director of their own temporary compilation or really have researched out of what new ideas have not been officially published?
In the face of Xiang Guoqiang's defense, Hao Lei asked the sentence in the program for the second time: What do you really want to do? I think you're really arrogant and I don't want to talk to you right now.
The director quotient is still too low, and what has been expressed is that everyone on the scene does not understand him, only on the Internet some viewers will understand him.
Hao Lei also asked the director: The people at the scene are not spectators, and they will not watch movies?
Only until the end, xiangdao did not realize his own problems, and it was estimated that there were too many things to learn in terms of emotional intelligence and communication.
In the Pk of Xiang Guoqiang and Bao Bell, Xiang Guoqiang of course can only end in failure, almost a difference of 2 votes, which is really unexpected.
When Curran finally said that he wanted to give the young director Xiang Guoqiang a little applause and encouragement.
Li Chengru is indeed very rigid, there are sharp-eyed netizens to see Li Chengru did not applaud at all, it seems that Uncle Li is still the original Uncle Li.
The rest depends on how director Xiang Guoqiang's future path is, is it to look forward to his work in the internet sub-market boom?
