my time as a director

However, the characters are too weak, and the image of each female student is not three-dimensional enough. It is almost a role of storytelling and an opposite to the conflict with the prostitute. The same is true for the image of the prostitute, which basically depends on Ni Nilai supported the image of this group, and the only role of the remaining people was to answer the phone and be vases.

In fact, Li Qian has no interest in this film at all, not to mention the prostitute who sacrificed herself to save the students, not to mention the serious split of the plot before and after, not to mention that Bell, a foreigner, gradually changed from a hooligan image to a three-dimensional, and the transformation was too blunt.

Li Qian didn't want to watch this kind of movie during the war, which depicted the tragic experience of women in their own country facing the invaders, and it was a group of women who had no ability to resist, not even female soldiers, but ordinary people.

This type of movie is nothing more than a function to make people feel grief, remember history, and not forget the bloody sacrifices of the ancestors.

However, what Li Qian felt the most was not passion, emotion, or grief, but rather nausea.

What is this movie for?

In the first half, it's okay to watch the soldiers of the female army beating Japanese Benzene, and in the second half, it's about how many students and children are saved by prostitutes sacrificing themselves?

This is not a prostitute for a student, but an adult for a child. Some people's opinions on the Internet are still biased.

In itself, it's a good movie.

But from the perspective of an audience, Li Qian felt disgusted!

Anyone who photographs civilians in their own country who were tortured and killed without resistance by a group of beasts during the war and tipped silver is disgusting, disgusting.

War movies have never been about how good-looking the cheongsam is, or how real the demeanor of the prostitute is, these are all secondary. War movies are about war, about resistance, about blood, passion, hope, and moving, not about unilateral torture, sharp silver .

The evaluation of this film is definitely not low. As a film itself, it is very good, but the audience will definitely not like it.

The next week, Jinling Shisanchai took 18 billion at the box office, and the total box office for the two weeks was 33 billion. Don't even think about Zhang Weiping's one billion. It is difficult to reach the [-] million cost he said.

This week, Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate was released, with 4 billion in 14 days, which is a bit worse than the first week of Jinling Thirteen Beauties.

The national teacher is the national teacher. In terms of appeal, neither Xu Ke nor Li Lianjie is an opponent.

But the difference is not far, anyone can win, and the Lunar New Year battle has become complicated and confusing.

Chapter 356

"It's just"

After carefully reading the script in his hand, Deng Chao was amazed.

With a long sigh, he walked out of the plot and looked at Li Qian incredulously, "Li Qian, do you know that I really want to split your head open with an axe to see what's inside, you The brain hole is really getting bigger every time!"

Li Qian is far inferior to directors such as Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kai in terms of skills and technology. The gap in art and photography is directly reflected in the beauty of the picture. It is not as good as their level where every frame can be regarded as a painting. This is recognized by the industry. .

But no matter who it is, even if there is a gap with Li Qian, they have to admit that, in terms of creativity and imagination, none of the current domestic directors can compare with him, not even close.

Not to mention the most imaginative "Moon", the creativity of "Frequency of Life and Death" that communicates across time and space and saves each other does not exist in China.

But this time, the script of "The Truman Show" in front of Deng Chao completely surpassed any of Li Qian's previous movies.

To use an Internet term to describe Deng Chao's current thoughts, it is "kneel down!"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that the directors are old, and the young people are still young. The era that these older generations lived in is destined to have little creativity."

Li Qian shook his head and said, "If you really want to look at brains, it's better to go to the Internet. The brains are getting bigger and bigger. Even more than ten years ago, there were many science fictions that didn't lack brains. They just needed someone to shoot him. Older directors don’t make films, newcomers can’t make films, and they can’t attract big investment.”

"That's right." Deng Chao was taken aback for a moment, "The older generation thinks differently, and they don't want to shoot creative stories."

Li Qian waved his hand and stopped the off-topic chat, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the role of Truman, how do you understand it."

"Truman."

Speaking of business, Deng Chao didn't talk about anything else. He waited for the leading actor in Li Qian's movie for more than a year, and the waiting time was almost gone.

He thought for a while and said, "First of all, he is both lucky and unlucky. As an orphan, he grew up safely and smoothly. He has parents who love him since he was a child, and he has a buddy who grew up with him. Although these are all fake, what Truman got it is true.

Otherwise, being sent to an orphanage as an orphan, lucky enough to be adopted by a family with a good family background, may also be very bad, but all these are arranged by others, on the other hand, it is sad.

He is a poor man. When he started to try to leave, he was a poor man in the eyes of the audience. I haven't thought about how to act in this aspect yet. "

"How to act will be discussed later." Li Qian nodded, motioning to continue.

"However, Truman is also a contradictory body. He is afraid of dogs, and because of the shadow caused by his father's suspended animation, he is afraid of water. After his father died, he was afraid of going to sea. Whenever the relatives around him said something, he immediately gave up. My own thoughts, no main line, cowardly.

But he was brave, curious, crazy.

It is curiosity to explore the truth of things step by step.

It is brave to find the truth bravely, to do it bravely, to escape bravely, and finally walk out of that false world.

Pulling his wife and racing like crazy, this is crazy. "

Deng Chao explained his understanding one by one, with a strange expression on his face, and his brows were tightly frowned, looking particularly distressed.

"What Truman did back and forth was very logical, including the sudden crazily driving without regard for safety. It is easy to understand, but all put together, this character feels particularly contradictory."

"That's right, Truman is a contradiction." Li Qian nodded.

Deng Chao also put down the script and listened to Li Qian's explanation of this character. After all, he only read the script once, so he certainly didn't understand it better than Li Qian, who is the creator.

Li Qian said with a smile, "In fact, Truman is the epitome of ordinary people. He has most of the advantages of a good person on the moral and legal levels, such as kindness, politeness, enthusiasm, intelligence, and nostalgia. Some shortcomings, cowardly, timid."

With these words, Deng Chao became more and more confused. Good people have shortcomings. This is not difficult to understand. A good person is not perfect.

"But, what does this morally and legally good person mean?"

"What is "The Truman Show"?" Li Qian asked him back.

"It's a movie, no, it's a show!"

"That's right, it's a TV show. His character is mainly formed by the people and things around him. Because he was placed in a false world, and because all his life was for the audience to see, Truman This person must conform to universal values, and he must be a good person in terms of morality and law. Otherwise, the audience will not like a bum protagonist, and it does not conform to the mainstream thinking of society.

Not only him, but everyone around him must be sunny and healthy, and what happens should be positive. This is why he is kind, cheerful, and enthusiastic.

Curiosity, this is innate in Truman's life, he is very curious about new things around him, and his cowardice is mainly due to the death of his father, and various interferences from his mother, wife and friends, in various situations. Under the oppression of the conditions, he gradually became brave again.

The advantages are cultivated by the environment for a long time, and so are the disadvantages, but this disadvantage is not formed slowly by himself, but imposed on him by external forces. Once he finds out that it is false, he will no longer be cowardly and timid. "

The amount of information was not small, and Deng Chao didn't fully absorb it for a while, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look."

"Brother Chao, you don't need to understand it now, there are still a few months left before filming."

Li Qian thought for a while, and then said, "Let me talk about another place, you can understand it. Truman gave up looking for his beloved because of his mother's illness. Although he felt that the things around him were strange, he still believed in himself." This shows that he is very nostalgic, for the sake of his relatives and friends, he can give up what he wants to do.

However, when he knew the truth, he resolutely wanted to leave. At this time, he didn't feel nostalgic for the past at all, because everything was false, he no longer loved the falsehood, and he was no longer cowardly in the face of falsehood. "

Deng Chao was stunned, "If you say it this way, I probably understand what it means."

"Understand slowly, although this is a comedy, you don't need to think about how to be funny, you can understand these characteristics of Truman, and you can substitute yourself into Truman, that's enough. Take your time to understand, there is enough time."
