"Director Please Advise" was launched, and the most well-received work in the first period was Bao Bell's "Nezha", and the director with the strongest sense of topic in the on-site review was Bi Zhifei, the lowest score holder of Douban.
The former was unexpected.
Bad film professional Bao Bell, actually choose the script vision seems to be leaps and bounds, he directed the adaptation of "Nezha" story rhythm is very good, the content is also very smooth, is the whole plot is the most in line with the length of the short film a work.
The latter is reasonable.
When the program group official announced Bi Zhifei as a competition guest, he was already destined to have the title of "Director of douban's lowest score work", and he would become the hot tool of the program group, whether it was counterattack or reversal, it was a topic point.
However, the way Bi Zhifei detonated the topic was still beyond the audience's expectations.
Judging from the casting link of the pilot film, Bi Zhifei seems to have taken the "counterattack" script, he is the most unfavored "well-known" director in the whole field, no other director is willing to choose, often poor expression or unfamiliarity.
Bi Zhifei is a well-known figure in the audience, and his eloquence is much better than some directors with a socialistic personality, and no actor is willing to choose him, which is obviously out of distrust of the "lowest score director".
At this time, if Bi Zhifei can take the lead in giving a masterpiece in the competition, it can definitely mobilize the enthusiasm of the audience, and many netizens are still looking forward to it, after all, it has been nearly ten years since the launch of "Dream Showbiz".
After so many years, the professional level should always take off, right?
However, the main film disappointed the audience, and Bi Zhifei failed to get the "script" of the bad film director like Bao Bell, but maintained his consistent physique and continued to play the attribute of being "ridiculed by the group".
In the whole film and television process, Bi Zhifei is equivalent to playing a "social death journey of a doctoral student director".
A "social death" comes from co-actors.
Bi Zhifei remade the classic work "Spring in a Small Town", the first of the top 100 Chinese films, and because he could not reach a cooperation with the actors brought by the variety show, the program team invited three foreign aides.
During the filming process, the heroine Lu Xingchen did not give the director face, Bi Zhifei asked to leave the scene in advance, and was intimidated by "no need", and then once again stressed "no way to go" and "things are not right, so there is no need to go".
The actors completely do not cooperate with the director's work, the relationship between the two sides is similar to the big star hanging the newcomer small actor, while strong and humble, Bi Zhifei had to give reasons to persuade the other party to follow his own requirements.
It was not easy for the actor to agree to go to the play, and after the end, Bi Zhifei met Lu Xingchen again, "What is the significance of (walking the play)?" "Three consecutive fears, completely copied the workplace leaders were arranged by subordinates of the "social death" famous scene.
Seeing this, many viewers feel that Lu Xingchen does not respect people and has to do it for Bi Zhifei, but the embarrassing situation of "actor" strong "director" between the two sides is fundamentally in Bi Zhifei.
As a director, he lacked leadership skills and made unprofessional reactions, which was really unconvincing to the public.
Bi Zhifei's language was so confusing before reading the script for the first time, as a director, he suddenly told the actors that there were two versions of the script with different screenwriters, and a fusion version of the two screenwriters (which should be the final version obtained by the actors).
In the early stage of reading the script for the first time, the three actors still had great respect for Bi Zhifei, and even Lu Xingchen, who had the strongest temper, smiled and asked the director to mention the version of the plot he wanted.
But Bi Zhifei's language was too confusing, and as a director, he suddenly told the actors that there were two versions of the script with different screenwriters, and a fusion version of the two screenwriters (which should be the final version that the actor got).
Is it okay to change the script according to the actor's request? His starting point is good, he wants to respect the actor's suggestions, but ignores his own dominance, and feels that Bi Zhifei is more suitable for cooperation with resource coffee.
Lu Xingchen, who had a bad attitude in the later stage, actually had a very clear idea, directly saying that the director should tell the actors his ideas, and when the three actors listened to Zhifei's revised ideas, they were all confused.
They all said that they did not understand the logic of character modification given by Bi Zhifei, and felt that it was better not to repair, so Bi Zhifei instantly decided to use the original script, so where is the director's opinion and artistic attitude?
Perhaps too disappointed in Bi Zhifei's confused behavior of discussing the script, the three actors have obviously become negative, and there is an embarrassing scene of Lu Xingchen refusing and questioning the play, and the audience can cut out three rooms and a hall for Bi Zhifei.
Perhaps Lu Xingchen's reaction has a "script" arrangement, but Lu Xingchen's doubts are indeed justified.
When Bi Zhifei asked the actors to go to the play, the corresponding props and sets and machines were not in place, which made Lu Xingchen not understand the play, and the preparations were not in place, how do we go?
After walking the drama as required, Bi Zhifei was playing with his mobile phone, which further annoyed Lu Xingchen.
This kind of performance made the director lose his sense of dedication and responsibility, so the actor's distrust broke out, at which time Bi Zhifei finally tensed up and decided to use the drama to save his authority.
As a result, he screwed up again.
With filming about to start the next day, Bi Zhifei, as a director, was not familiar with the script, forgot the final version of the discussion with the actors, and even his understanding of the relationship between the characters was wrong...
Objectively speaking, it is indeed very impolite for the actor to not resist the distrust of Bi Zhifei, but with Bi Zhifei's performance, it is difficult to make the actor respect him, and the title of "Douban Lowest Score Actor" is not wronged.
Another death came from a film critic.
On the whole, Bi Zhifei's works have made great progress over before, and audiences who have not seen his works will feel that the basic skills of this director are OK, and the audiences who have watched "Dream Showbiz" will also have a change in him.
Technical, texture level, is passed, completely without the "dream showbiz" of the confused "temperament", seeing such changes, many audiences are willing to give encouragement to Bi Zhifei, who has made progress.
But as Wang Jing said, his "Spring in a New Small Town" "does not like nor hate, is qualified", the story appreciation, the core transmission of the work is not outstanding, and even Liang Long's work has a personality.
If it reaches this point, Bi Zhifei can get a "great progress" medal, which will help to wash away the traces of his "Dream Showbiz", but unfortunately, Bi Zhifei is too easy to float.
Rarely encouraged, he was moved to tears, so he opened a wave of his own professional explanations, an inventory of eastern and western aesthetics, and the more guests from the class listened, the more they could not sit still.
So he rolled over again.
The understanding of oriental aesthetics, the understanding of "Spring in a Small Town", and the understanding of director Fei Mu's works, each of which has been dismissed by professionals dumbfounded, and the more they say, the more they are questioned.
Bi Zhifei, who hangs his doctoral students on his lips, is used by professionals to "leverage", which can be called the ultimate "social death" of doctors.
Moreover, for the audience, the more in-depth the interpretation of the plot of Bi Zhifei's version of "Spring in a New Small Town", the larger the slot point, his works are tangible and soulless, with a strong taste of scriptual propaganda, and the commission cannot reflect the personal artistic background.
The sharp Li Chengru criticized him for "depicting the mold", which is also an adaptation of the IP, and other directors are almost all new re-creations, such as the same "Nezha" theme, Xiang Guoqiang and Bao Bell have only retained the core of the work.
Bi Zhifei's version only changed the unexpected visit of the first love in the original work to the heroine's husband taking the initiative to invite the first love to visit, the outline plot has not changed, and the things that the work wants to express are still not much different from the old movies.
"Spring in a Small Town" was a work of the 1940s, and at that time, the film from a female perspective was the latest trend of thought at that time, but in the present, the story of two men letting a woman go, is it still new?
Even Li Chengru, who is considered "old-fashioned" by many netizens, feels that Bi Zhifei is "stupid to read", and the producer Fang Li, who is more than 20 years older than him, is even more to the point: How much decay is it?
This is also the sadness of the domestic film and television industry, like Bi Zhifei such a director is actually a lot, only shoot works, but do not consider the demands of the new era, there is a large wave of seemingly gorgeous core but born out of the "Mother's Road" works.
Sometimes, a director who makes a bad film is not necessarily a poor technical skill, but has no thoughts.
"Spring in a New Town" proves Bi Zhifei's doctoral professional skills, but at the same time exposes his thin growth potential, he can read the script, but it is difficult to become a pioneer in film and television art.
This may also be Bi Zhifei's biggest "social death", which seems to be the lowest degree of social death than the first two, but the damage to career growth prospects is the greatest, after all, a director with a soul can give a work with a soul.
However, Bi Zhifei also has an advantage that is very admirable, his "social death" immunity is too strong, no matter how much he is intimidated, he can face it happily, and his mentality is really worth learning.
Even if the audience can be embarrassed for him to cut out a villa, he is still optimistic to face, in the generally arrogant environment of entertainment industry artists, Bi Zhifei is willing to accept an open-minded attitude in the face of criticism, which is quite popular with the audience.
Unfortunately, Bi Zhifei's first-class attitude of admitting mistakes is only suitable for him to digest the embarrassment of "social death", because no matter how humble he is to accept judgment, his progress as a director is still only a non-mainstream to qualified distance.
