In the second half of the first episode of "Director Please Advise", director Liang Long played against director Bi Zhifei.
One is a cross-border newcomer, the other is a bad film director, obviously fair to the two, of course, in the end, after the exhibition, both of them have entered the pending area, and no one has won the favor of the producer.
(i)
Liang Long, from second-hand rose to cross-border director, is a new challenge for him, people over forty, he may have figured out what he really wants, whether it is the flying self of rock music, or now cross-border to the film and television circle, he is always different and prominent, of course, naturally he has become a minority.
Unexpectedly, in the show, the short film presented continued his own style, a "Crazy Alien", beyond most people's expectations, but it can be understood, this is the Liang Long we know.
In the black-and-white silent film, the pseudo-alien played by Tai Pan shows a different gray world through silent communication with an individual.
Flyers fall from the sky, an old-fashioned tape recorder plays brisk music, and aliens are setting up benches in front of the Red Shadow Theater waiting for people to come and watch, he is careful and careful, but disappointingly, no one cares.
What is an alien, obviously not only dressed like an alien is an alien, and this is the performance style and way of this alien, in the eyes of outsiders, he is not an alien, but a madman, a different kind of person.
An old dancer, a sketching child, a crying girl, a middle-aged man chanting, layer by layer, and finally reach some kind of soul fit.
The old dancers are collectively eroded, the sketching children still retain innocence, the crying girl finally laughs, and the middle-aged man finally reaches a tacit understanding with the aliens.
In the end, everyone returned to the Hongxia Film Theater to start performing, and the short film gradually changed from black and white to color.
All the interludes are Liang Long's own songs, and the poem in the short film is "The Ragtag Crowd".
These may allow us to better understand the short film, this is a different kind of world, he is lonely, he is closed, and this closure is not the closure of the self, but the real world is mercilessly closed, everyone wants to break free, let more people see themselves, but where there are so many people who can empathize, truly understand and understand themselves.
Things are clustered in groups of people, and the world has always been like this.
Sometimes you don't need any dialogue, you can empathize just by looking at each other and laughing, and sometimes it is useless to even say that you have broken your throat.
Finally, in the development of the times, how should people adhere to themselves.
Such a short film is also presented in a unit way, but there seems to be no complete story, the shape is scattered, but the units reflect each other, and together express a complete theme, with a silent black and white silent film processing, is a portrayal of the inner world of the characters, and only they really find the world that belongs to the self, everything becomes unfettered, but enjoyed, the world is colorful.
Such a short film is naturally not suitable for the public, although the public will have such a mentality, but because it is implicit, it eventually made the on-site vote less than 120 votes, and it was suspended in the middle, and there was a huge difference between public viewing and professional movies.
The public bluntly does not understand, does not know what it expresses, and professional audiences think it is wonderful and interesting.
Liang Long believes that his film has not been broadcast and does not make any explanation.
In any case, for this attempt, it was a failure in the show, because Liang Long did not get a direct promotion, but for Liang Long himself to be successful, he showed his own style.
(ii)
Bi Zhifei's "Spring in a New Small Town", although the content of the original story has been greatly changed, from the era to the relationship between the protagonist, it can be seen that the core to be expressed has not changed, and in the mobilization of the lens and technology, although it is deliberately expressing poetry, the imitation traces are too serious.
Fortunately, this short film is complete, smoother and easier to understand.
In addition, the public psychological expectations are low, so the general audience has a very good evaluation of this short film.
But there was a big dispute at the producer level.
In the midst of the dispute, Bi Zhifei was even more tearful, saying that his first work was a particular failure, but he also wanted to be a good director, he still had a movie dream, and it was good to continue to carry it out seriously.
It is worth noting that no actors came to cheer him on.
Because there are no actors to cooperate with in the show, the actors are privately selected by Bi Zhifei.
In the filming period, there was a dispute with the actors, in the documentary you can see that Bi Zhifei is quite humble and helpless, and now there is no actor to cheer for himself, although Bi Director said that the actors have their own work schedules, of course, he also said that he may be afraid of taking on too much pressure, perhaps the latter is the key.
Bi Zhifei's current mentality is the same as that in Liang Long's "Crazy Alien".
Producer Fang Li thinks it is too ordinary, Wang Jing thinks it is qualified, and Chen Zhixi believes that this time Bi Zhifei has made progress, is respecting the film, and is seriously making a movie.
However, Li Chengru questioned and asked: Is this his work?
In Li Chengru's view, Bi Zhifei is just copying, bluntly saying that the public is deceived, Bi Zhifei is opportunistic, he knows that he may not be able to play other works, there are high people who have ideas, but in the end they know that they do not know why, Li Chengru said, now take this thing out, in that era will be accepted, in this era may not be able to accept, so he does not admit that this is Bi Zhifei's work, but also criticizes Bi Zhifei reading stupid.
In fact, for ordinary audiences, Bi Zhifei's short film completion and lens language are all OK, but in the eyes of professionals, it is tasteless, even in Meiya.
In addition, it is the same as the core of the original work, and even deliberately imitated, so from a professional point of view, it is not so possible to see the director's own ability and expression.
In any case, Liang Long's works have not been broadcast, which is regrettable and not liked by the public, and although Bi Zhifei likes the public, professional film critics hold negative opinions.
For both of them, this time is a breakthrough, both give people a surprise, look forward to the follow-up wonderful performance.
