Recently, there was a new director's competitive reality show "Director Please Advise" on the goose factory.
It probably means bringing in 4 producers, a number of "professional" film critics and dozens of public judging panels to rate the work of 16 directors.
Two issues are currently updated.
The first issue invited Bao Bell and Xiang Guoqiang, after playing two short films that are not salty and not light and not interesting, watching this variety show to be paste, but did not expect that the second period changed the past dull, the topic soared, the participating directors, producer judges, professional film critics, and popular film critics The four forces are devious and secretly competing with each other, adding a touch of annoyance to the Chinese land where the temperature has plummeted.
All of this has to start with.
The program team invited Bi Zhifei to share the stage with more than a dozen other directors, and they just wanted to see Bi Zhifei's jokes;
This scene seems familiar, Guo Jingming and Chen Kaige, Yu Zheng and Zhang Ziyi, all once served as mentors in a program.
Bi Zhifei, Ph.D. in Film and Television Studies of Peking University, creator of the lowest score of Douban score, guardian of major bad films on social platforms, and winner of the Golden Broom Award.
Because he made a bad film, the public's eyes are a lump, he can blow flowers for you.
Obviously, the work is unbearable to see, and there are words to praise how good it is.
And it is in the process of his "praise" that he exposes his vulgar aesthetics, chaotic logic, and few talents.
The director in the show simply does not bear the false name of the "first rotten", whether it is the difficulty of the cast and crew on the set, or the poisonous tongue of the on-site film critics, he does not hide it at all, does not hesitate to start, and comprehensively exposes the various traces of his bad film creation.
The first round of competition is to adapt the classic IP.
Xiang Guoqiang and Bao Bell adapted "Nezha", and the second-hand Rose Liang Long adapted "Crazy Alien", in front of Bi Dao, they were obviously too conservative.
The IP that Director Bi chose to adapt is the first of the hundred films in the 100 years of Chinese cinema: "Spring in a Small Town".
The contemporary king of bad films, adapting the ceiling of film history.
It seems reasonable to make such a choice.
After all, Bi Dao's label is not self-aware
But in the eyes of outsiders, covering your ears and stealing the bell is a joke after all.
In the casting stage, Bi Dao was full of resistance.
Initially, Director Bi wanted to invite Niu Junfeng to participate in the role, and his eyes were sincere and his words were sincere, showing people a sincerity that could not be rejected. However, Niu Junfeng, who has experienced hundreds of battles, naturally knows the importance of cautious cooperation during the rise of his career, and uses the rules of the program as a reason to reject Bi Dao.
"Director Please Advise" is not "Dream Showbiz", without actors, Director Bi can't choose to go on his own.
So I chose to invite 3 unknown young actors.
However, Bi Dao's difficulties are far more than the casting of such a simple, and soon, his will be highlighted. When speaking to the actors, I wanted to express the difference between the adapted version and the original, but Bi Dao wrapped himself around in three words and two words, and the work that could be explained in one or two sentences, Bi Dao was partial to "a glass of water to tell you how the well was dug", twisting and turning to inform the actor of the wrong role guidance.
Yes, the information about the character should also be asked to the cameraman on the side.
The actors were embarrassed by director Bi's chaos, and they knew early on how difficult director Bi's craftsmanship was, from the moment he agreed to cooperate, but this emotion of doing good quickly turned into contempt on the set.
Bi Dao Rory bar no focus on the play, 3 people agreed;
Director Bi asked to go on the set and look at the composition, and the actress said " It doesn't make sense " ;
Director Bi was alone on the scene of the studio, and the 3 actors each had a pretext to refuse to share the stage with Director Bi.
Under various stumbles, Bi Zhifei's work "Spring in a New Small Town" was finally completed.
When the 15-minute short film meets professional producers, self-righteous film critics, and ordinary audiences, Bi Zhifei's eyes are red, and he laughs at himself for being the king of bad films, while confessing his pure heart for movies.
A sentence of "I want to be a good director" filled the scene with emotions.
Wang Jing commented that she didn't like it, it wasn't ugly, but it was passable.
A film critic said that I had not seen "Dream Showbiz", but decided to know Bi Zhifei from this "Spring of the New Small Town".
The above is the only two praises that Bi Zhifei has received after he was moved by himself.
Subsequently, it is as follows.
This includes producers who discuss and sincerely advise on their works, as well as film critics who are not right about people and "take the opportunity to step on a foot" to show professionalism.
Some comments from the perspective of "confined space" shooting techniques have proposed a better way for Bi Dao;
And some film critics, obviously for black and black, use the rules in the book to attack Bi Zhifei's shallow view.
Fortunately, Bi Dao is humble enough, whether sincere or hypocritical, he will accept it all.
In the face of cross-examination and harsh rebuke, Bi Dao tried his best to maintain a logical answer.
But embarrassingly, yes.
Bi Dao replied that the reason for the adaptation was: Western realism, Eastern freehand.
Chen Zhixi asked, why is "Spring in a Small Town" the first of the hundred years?
Bi Dao was vague.
Fang Li asked, where is your "new" "Spring in a New Town"?
Bi Dao came to the bottom:
In the original work, the classmate accidentally visited the couple;
In my version, it is the terminally ill husband who takes the initiative to write to a classmate and ask him to take care of his wife for the rest of her life.
Bi Dao's three answers seem to be his own feelings;
In fact, it is fatal, digging a pit to jump by yourself, leaving a pretext for others to attack, and are all targets for blackening.
As one film critic put it—
Speaking of "freehand", when asked to list other freehand works of director Fei Mu, Director Bi could not answer;
Speaking of "new editors", a plot of "giving away the wife to someone" is a dead end in the feminist era.
Soon, Bi Dao appeared and was interrogated and ridiculed in turn on the stage.
Some viewers felt aggrieved for Bi Zhifei-
Although extremely embarrassing, the scene is no less than the scene of the public execution;
But Bi Dao still insists on himself: you can criticize, but I will never agree.
Teacher Li Chengru, who has a tight brow and a sneering smile from time to time, finally opened his mouth after flashing in the camera many times——
The words did not fall, and the audience was dumbfounded.
Li Chengru went on to explain that whether it is from the scheduling of the camera position or the adaptation of the plot, it is difficult to see the originality of "Spring in the New Small Town".
Immediately qualitative: this is a "meme" work.
Bi Zhifei, do you know that you don't know why, taking advantage of the public's ignorance of the fact that "Spring in a Small Town" is its name, and copied a homework according to it, saying that it is your own achievement?!
According to Pang Zhonghua's handwriting, I copied a copy, and said that I was a calligrapher?!
Where is the good of "Spring in a Small Town", you Bi Zhifei actually don't know.
At this time, Bi Dao took the plot adaptation of "sending his wife" to refute Li Chengru, and he had no power to fight back.
Before Bi Dao could finish speaking, Li Chengru slashed down with the last knife:
Bi Zhifei,
You're wrong in being too stubborn.
In the end, the miracle did not happen, and Bi Zhifei successfully failed.
And Li Chengru's four-word criticism of "you are too stubborn" seems to be traditional, but in fact, it is a predecessor's sharp evaluation of the later generation, and the fundamental crux of Bi Dao was dissected.
Stubbornness is a shortcoming. Stubborn people, unable to listen to the advice of others, are respectful on the outside, and do their own thing on the inside;
Stubbornness is an advantage. Stubborn people, a road to the black, hit the south wall on the wrong road and do not look back, scarred and do not complain.
From the ridicule of others and the confusion of the self, it is not difficult to feel the stubbornness of Bi Dao.
On talent, Bi Zhifei really did not;
On patience, this buddy is convincing, not a reform of the dead sheep, but a blind rebuttal.
We don't know how long Bi Dao can hold out on this road;
What we know is that when Director Bi fully realizes that he is not the director, there will be one more sad person in the world.
