my time as a director

Now Zhou Xingchi also asked about Li Qian, wouldn't he also

Song Ge was a little worried when he thought about it, but he shook his head secretly.

Although Zhou Xingchi has a straightforward temper, a bit weird, and not as easy-talking as movie fans think, but as a partner, he can be trusted, and it is precisely because of his straightforward temper that he is reassuring.

Speaking of which, Li Qian's personality is straightforward, and he is also a good partner.

"What should Li Qian say? He is very similar to Zhou Dao in some ways. If you want to say that the biggest thing you have in common is that you are both geniuses." Song Ge said with a laugh.

Zhou Xingchi was not overjoyed by the genius, but said, "It just so happens that I have also come to the mainland. I wonder if Mr. Song can take me to meet Li Qian?"

"Director Zhou wants to see Li Qian?"

"I'm very curious about the comedy he's filming. It won't waste time if I go to Jiangning to change planes halfway."

"Well, I'll call him and see if it's convenient."

Song Ge didn't refuse either. There was nothing strange about the sympathy between great directors and geniuses.

After calling Li Qian and explaining the situation, Song Ge and Zhou Xingchi flew to Jiangning early the next morning.

After getting off the airport, the people who picked up the plane with the crew went directly to the Huazhong Film and Television Base.

Li Qian, who was filming, signaled them to wait. After a while, when the scene was finished and the crew was asked to rest for a while, he smiled and stood up to say hello.

"President Song, Director Zhou, what brought you here, please sit down."

Looking at Zhou Xingchi with half-white hair, Li Qian was filled with emotion. This was the first time he saw a real person.

If it weren't for the crew, I would have called "Master Xing". After all, I grew up watching the movies of Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Runfa throughout my teenage years.

Chapter 379 Join

"This is probably the best black humor script in China."

Zhou Xingchi read the script carefully, even though he only read it once and didn't taste it carefully, he couldn't help being amazed.

"A black humorous comedy?" Song Ge, who was eating ginseng fruit like Zhu Bajie, nodded, "Indeed, it is worse than Ning Hao's crazy series, although the plot is not as tortuous as Ning Hao's, and the laughs It's not that dense, and there are no tortuous multi-line narratives, but this kind of straightforward narrative depicts the lives and emotional entanglements of the characters, but it can be more substituting."

"It's black humor, not comedy." Zhou Xingchi retorted very bluntly.

"Uh..." Song Ge rubbed his nose, isn't black humor just comedy? Although he is not a film major, he still knows a little bit about films.

But Zhou Xingchi's character is so straightforward, Song Ge doesn't care.

Li Qian smiled, "Actually, Mr. Song and Director Zhou are right. The overall atmosphere of the film and the details of life are very relaxed and pleasant, without any depressing feeling at all. I even use warm colors for the scenes. It's really easy to see it as a comedy.

However, in retrospect, many details will make people shudder. To be precise, this is a Utopian-like false perfect world, implying the survival tragedy of a bird in a cage. It should be a black humorous tragedy, but at the end Truman jumped out of this In a perfect world, people can't help but cheer for him, and there is no problem with black humor and comedy. "

"Yes, the ending is beautiful." Zhou Xingchi nodded and said with emotion, "Thank you, Director Li, for allowing me to read such an excellent comedy script. I have benefited a lot."

Song Ge also laughed and said, "I was also taken aback. Director Li would make a high-quality comedy film, but I didn't expect it to be such a meaningful film. With this script, it can already be called a classic. "

"Actually, it doesn't make much sense. It's just an absurd and impossible story. It's just that most office workers are similar to Truman. Truman's daily life and people's experiences are like replicas, very close to reality.

Li Qian shook his head, "The rigid and unchanging social life suppresses people's individuality. Everyone is connected to the parts of the huge machine of society. A stylized life, society and all of it will push you to grow."

"According to this, it still has the shadow of a realistic movie." Song Ge pondered.

"You can understand it however you want. It's not the Monkey King. There is only one heart in a thousand people. Let's see everyone's experience in the movie to understand." Li Qian smiled.

"I have analyzed Director Li's previous films. Except for the first film where the frequency of life and death can be linked across time and space to make up for regrets, the latter films are all full of tragedy. Do you think tragedy is the theme of life?" Zhou Xingchi asked .

"tragedy?"

Li Qian was a little strange, but in retrospect, it seems that the same can be said.

Clone No. 5 in the moon is a tragedy. Although No. 6 returned to Earth, the clone is only set to have a lifespan of 3 years. In addition, people must reject him, which is also a tragedy.

In a perfect world, the main character would die straight away.

I am the protagonist of the legend who lived alone for so many years, and finally died.

I am not the god of medicine, Lu Yiyi, Huang Mao is also dead.

"No, I just think that hope is the theme of life." Li Qian smiled and said, "In the moon, the clone 5 gave the hope of life to the 6, and the protagonist of the perfect world is also to give the little boy a perfect world And to die, I am a legend who left hope to human beings, needless to say the God of Medicine."

There are two sides. The problem is not what the movie is about, but the state of mind of the people watching the movie.

Zhou Xingchi is probably the kind of person he himself said that tragedy is the theme of life. Seeing his silent appearance, the melancholy on his face, it seems that the misery in the world is condensed in his heart.

But when he laughs, he is so contagious, he is really a contradictory person.

"So that's the case." Zhou Xingchi nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I like the role of Truman very much. If 20 years ago, I would have wanted to act in this terrible movie."

Li Qian said, "You don't have to be 20 years younger, even if you are ten years younger, I will be the first to ask Director Zhou to act."

"That's a pity." Song Ge said aside.

Deng Chao felt depressed listening to it, and co-authored himself as a substitute.

However, if you think about it carefully, no one is more suitable for this role than Zhou Xingchi.

"Actually, if Director Zhou hadn't been busy with his own movie, I would have invited you for the role of producer. To a certain extent, it's actually very compatible. Top." Li Qian said with some regret.

"Producer?"

Zhou Xingchi was a little surprised, and then fell into deep thought.

Who is the producer in The Truman Show?

30 years of non-stop filming a show, watching Truman all the time, is equivalent to spending the entire time of my youth, adulthood, and old age on Truman.

He was a lonely man, and so was he.

His only sustenance is the show, which is Truman. He has acted in movies for half his life, and he also uses movies to pin his heart. He has no friends.

He regards Truman as his own child, but in fact he doesn't love Truman, and he also can't say that he loves movies much. He doesn't even like the king of comedy, who is regarded as his autobiography. He regards movies more as an expression medium.

He's domineering, trying to control everything, and he's doing the same to his own movie.

He creates a paradise in the program, and his own movie is also a kind of sustenance for himself.

It seems, is there really a bit like it?

wrong.

The producers were wrong, and he wasn't.
