Now there is such a new type of film.
Killed the Quartet in Pingyao and won awards in the first bombing field. Tickets for the film festival are hard to find, and the seats are full.
It's not easy to set the release file, but there are many doors. The box office is bloody, and no one cares. For example, last year's "Yongan Town Story Collection" and "Mr. Red Carpet".
Even "Cosmic Exploration Editorial Department", which had a good reputation after its release, only had a box office of 67 million, and this is a good performance.
Is the subject matter limited, or has the reputation of the film festival become "wolf"?
Recently, another comedy that won an award in the First bombing field and was praised by Jiang Wen and Stephen Chow was released.
But when the box office hits, you may not even know it's been -
Galaxy Writer
"Galaxy Writer" was the most watched and praised film at last year's First Film Festival, and it can be said that there is no one.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize and the Best Screenplay Award.
Zhang Songwen, Zhang Xiaofei, Wen Muye, Dai Jinhua and other filmmakers have been Amway;
Stephen Chow said that he was very good after watching it, and hoped to cooperate with the director;
Jiang Wen also praised the film as good, and it is better than good;
Shen Teng also starred in 0 pay, giving an easter egg to the movie.
This is not what we usually see, xxx movie premieres, and the praise of the invited stars based on human feelings.
The film's director and screenwriter are three young people, and this is their film debut.
If you haven't even heard of starring in "Three Dogs", then the main creator of this film can be said to be a vegan bureau for you.
Therefore, the encouragement and recommendation of filmmakers are from the heart.
This is a comedy with a very simple plot.
tells the story of two screenwriters, Zhang Yi and Sun Tan, who co-wrote the script "Seven Seconds Man" that they were satisfied with, so they began to find investors to invest, trying to put the film on the big screen, but they opened the road of being trampled and trampled by Party A.
played Zhang Yi and Sun Tan, respectively, Song Muzi and He Wenjun, the two of the "Three Dogs".
Another dog, Li Fei, plays their good friend - pest.
The story is simple.
And the reason why it can become a word-of-mouth masterpiece of the film festival is because it not only makes fans laugh when they watch it, but also hits the pain points of all contemporary workers.
Humorous, sincere, and full of fun.
As long as you have a part-time job experience or know some movies, you will smile.
Zhang Yi and Sun Tan haven't started to attract investment yet, but in the coaxing and killing of friends, they began to think of which director to find.
If Nolan doesn't have a show, then pick it among Jiang Wen and Yan Fei & Peng Damo (Happy Twist).
A few people really began to count the advantages and disadvantages of Jiang Wen, Yan Fei & Peng Damo.
In the end, Yan Fei & Peng Damo also won by one vote.
The promotional points of movies are generally in directors and actors.
Even the producer will mark it in bold at the beginning of the film, but the screenwriter rarely publicizes it.
The box office is not good, and most of them will be blamed by the screenwriter in the end.
Zhang Yi and Sun Tan also gradually changed from "don't change the book even if you die" to "okay, change it, destroy it".
The second male in the script was first suggested by the management to change from a young man to a 40-year-old middle-aged man.
The back was simply changed to a dog.
Everyone in Party A pointed out the script, it needs to be changed here, and there is no selling point there.
Everyone has the right to change the script, except for the screenwriter himself.
Even under Party A's sentence "It's not difficult to register a delivery person now", the two went to deliver food to experience life, but found that it was easier to deliver food than to revise the draft.
While the film asks whether the screenwriter values personal creation or service, it also successfully creates the image of contemporary migrant workers through the scenes ravaged by Party A.
Zhang Yishu is a typical contemporary literary youth, obsessed with Nolan, and is a frequent visitor to the Beijing Film Festival and an active ticket-grabbing player.
His girlfriend met in the fan group.
Zhang Yiduo released a movie ticket for the "Batman: The Dark Knight" at the Beijing Film Festival, and wanted to transfer it out of the fan group, but he was worried that he would be received by scalpers, so he raised a tricky question about the movie lines in the fan group.
Only one person in the fan group answered it. Looking at the ID and avatar, Zhang Yi thought it was a buddy, but when he went to the theater, he found out that it was a beautiful girl.
The two quickly looked at each other, and after watching the movie, they had a relationship, discussing "Inception" in bed.
The girl's name is Zhou Keke, and she is also a small screenwriter, and after getting along with Zhang Yi, she moved to his house.
Zhang Yi and Sun Tan shared a house, and it became a three-person shared house between Sun Tan and a couple.
The contradiction soon followed.
After being asked by Party A to revise the draft again and again, the two of them were already irritable, and because of the matter of sharing a house, it broke out.
The two began to tear up the script like a divorce and a family property, and I wrote these pages to me, and I took away what I thought.
On one of the pages, Sun Tan sarcastically plagiarized: "Is this what you wrote, this is written by Nolan." ”
Then began an even more outrageous sub-script bridge:
"Yours, mine, Nolan's. ”
"Yours, mine, Nolan's. ”
This back-and-forth face-cutting scene pays tribute to the quarrel between Jiang Wen and Li Baotian in "Something to Say", which is full of laughter.
Senior fans will definitely not say that their favorite is Nolan, but Nolan is indeed a high-yielding and excellent director with a popular base.
片中有很多这类有门槛但不高的迷影梗call back。
One of the most explosive sections is to break the fourth wall and deconstruct the "Save the Cat Metronome".
Party A directly criticized them for not changing the script well, and suggested that they abide by the "Save the Cat Metronome".
At the end of this scene, Zhang Yi rushed to the camera and asked the audience if they didn't understand what this meant.
Then the film suddenly changed its style, and in the form of a short video of "this woman is called Xiaomei", it took more than 100 seconds to finish telling this dry goods knowledge point.
"Save the Cat" is a formula book, the golden rule of screenwriter creation.
To put it simply, there is a three-act style of beginning and ending.
From beginning to end, the stalk is very dense, light-hearted and humorous, the form of expression is innovative, and it is very ingenious, and it is definitely a debut above the passing line.
But there are also shortcomings that cannot be ignored, such as the story pacing and characters.
Both female characters are tools. On the contrary, several male characters are all very three-dimensional.
This is a point that must not be forgiven under the premise of having a female director and screenwriter.
Like "Yongan Town Stories", "Mr. Red Carpet" and "Great Night", the films are all based on the theme of the film industry, and they are all hits at film festivals.
But after it was put into the market, the performance was dismal.
Even if it is a comedy, it is difficult to arouse public interest, and it has not succeeded in making mainstream fans detonate word of mouth after watching the movie.
At the roadshow site, in front of several leading actors, some viewers asked the director if he had thought that if he used actors with more traffic, the box office would not be so miserable.
The director's inner os at this time must be: Is it because I don't want to?
Although Sangou is a newcomer to the screen, because the three of them are very "popular", they just fit the character design of the film, and their performance in the film is remarkable.
The actors from the comedy competition and talk show circles have become new faces in the comedy industry outside the twist department and the Northeast department.
And it is precisely because the director is a newcomer that he can save up the main creator himself, so that he can not be controlled by capital and write an original, funny, and formal fan comedy.
Otherwise, the second male is likely to be changed to a dog just like in the film.
Zhang Yi and Sun Tan struggled to compromise between dreams and reality, admitting that their scripts of "Seven Seconds Man" and "Fighting Chicken Blood" are actually very ordinary, and their talents are also very ordinary.
Everyone is a little writer in this huge galaxy, and Party B is tossed again and again by demand.
In a good script, there must be motivation for choice and growth line for characters.
But life is not.
You may be being polished by life, but sometimes, the character does not grow, and it is also a kind of growth. It's good to be yourself.
