Super Zoo

Xin Linli was stunned. She was holding a broom like a cleaning lady, preparing to clean up the place - Su Ming's feet were better, she had been eating potato chips in the back, and the ground was full of crumbs...

"Put it down, put it down." Su Ming was speechless. It's not like you were hired to do cleaning. A front desk costs more than cleaning in a month.

"What do you think of the movie? Let's sit down and talk."

The company is still young and lacks talents in all aspects, especially those with certain insights into movies.

There are professionals in the company, but it does not mean that those with industry experience and academic qualifications will have the ability to watch movies.

I just heard Xin Linli say something like 'men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession'. It was similar to what Su Ming was thinking, and it resonated a lot, so I wanted to hear Xin Linli's opinion.

"Oh." Xin Linli put the broom aside, sat down, thought about it, and said, "In general, this is a bad movie...but it is the kind of bad movie that can be saved, or in other words, It’s a bad film that tried to take the right path but failed.”

The first half of the sentence can be seen by everyone. It is not strange for Xin Linli to say this, and it does not mean that she is good at it. However, the second half of the sentence is a bit interesting.

"Please tell me in detail, where did it die? How could it be saved?" Su Ming asked.

"Well, this film combines Chinese mythology, Western magic, comedy, romance, action, monsters, thrillers, ghosts and animals, and many other elements. It is full of flaws. The actors' acting skills are as exaggerated as if they were acting in a stage play. The special effects are very high. But it feels very 50 cents. In terms of content, it does not take into account historical facts and cultural sense at all, but just starts from scratch and arbitrarily transforms it on the basis of historical legends. In the end, it gives people a nondescript feeling... To be honest, if there were no previous Publicity, or simply don’t say that this is an adaptation of Fengshen Yanyi, just watch it as an ordinary entertainment film. This movie is at least above the passing line, but if it is called Fengshen Yanyi, people can’t help but think It’s about to be fucked…”

Su Ming saw that when Xin Linli talked about the movie, her previous confused look was no longer there, and instead she spoke eloquently, so he nodded without interrupting her and motioned for her to continue.

Xin Linli paused for a moment, clasped her fingers and said: "First of all, this cast list is so fake! Jet Li is ranked first in this film, followed by Fan Bing, Huang Xiaoming, AB and a bunch of other big names. The audience just goes to the cast list. Look, the result is..."

She spread her hands and said: "Damn it! It's just a liar. The whole movie has as many big-name roles as Lei Zhenzi's Zuo Zuo. Let's just call it Xiang Zuo Legend. So after watching the movie, the audience will not care about the quality of this movie. What happened? My first impression was that I must have been deceived. Will the audience still believe it as long as Xiang Zuo appears next time?”

Su Ming hummed. In this film, Long Wu promoted his son to the top position. Xiang Zuo, who was ranked lower in the cast, was actually the leading actor.

"Also, the special effects are indeed gorgeous, but the style is really neither fish nor fowl. At first glance, it is obvious that it is plagiarized from Avatar, Warcraft, and a lot of foreign blockbusters. It is just plagiarism, but has the artist's brain been eaten by a dog? Gold The style of Shan Pao is extremely low, and the style is extremely ugly. It looks like a cosplay at a wedding banquet of a rich country man. Of course, I understand, this is to cater to the current exaggerated aesthetic of Shan Pao. "

"As for other shortcomings, let's not talk about the actors' acting skills. Anyway, these days, not many people really rely on acting skills to make a living. They are basically like taking slide photos. The key is that this film should not be called "The Romance of the Gods" First of all, the screenwriter not only couldn’t figure out whether Nezha stepped on the Hot Wheels or the Qiankun Circle, he even had no idea about ancient Chinese culture. It looked like a Western-style European castle, and the monsters behind it were designed in the style of Hollywood Warcraft. ...A good-looking fairy with Eastern characteristics is transformed into a Western monster, which is another way of deceiving the audience.”

As Xin Linli spoke, she became a little excited. She suddenly stood up, like a great man pointing out the country. She waved her hand heavily and glared at Su Ming fiercely and said: "Sincerity! Sincerity! Where is the sincerity?! Throughout the film, I I only saw a lot of deception and fooling! The audience can accept the lack of quality, but will never pay for the deception!”

Su Ming was stunned by her sharp style. He took out a napkin blankly and wiped the saliva that splashed on his face.

"Calm down, calm down. This is not our company's film..." Su Ming said.

"But they used our animals. Hum, the animals are pretty good. Shen Gongbao's mount and the zoo's black panther are better than those big names..." Xin Linli hummed a few times, sat down again, and said: "In fact, the original work of Fengshen Yanyi has a grand layout, which is quite spectacular from imagination to depth of thinking. The game of spheres of influence in the divine realm, the fateful conflict between humans and gods, the interconnection of the development and transformation of the divine realm and the human realm, and the endless emergence of ancient mythical beasts and functions Different formations and magic weapons, each character represents a spiritual and philosophical view in the original work, which implies the religious metaphor of the dispute between Taoism and Confucianism, as well as the folk culture of destiny and destiny. It can be called an ancient mythological epic of the Chinese nation. , if you dig deep, you can definitely make a blockbuster movie that is not inferior to the Lord of the Rings series and the Harry Potter series!”

Su Ming felt the same way about this.

Not only The Romance of the Gods, but also the Four Great Classics, Water Margin in Red Mansions and Journey to the West, The Plum in the Golden Lotus... Oh no, The Romance of the Gods, the cultural background, storyline, and characters of any of them are enough to make a series of super blockbusters. It is simply inexhaustible. cultural treasures.

"Then you said that this film can still be saved, but it just failed to follow the right path. What do you mean?" Su Ming asked again.

"Huh..." Xin Linli had just finished a long speech, and seemed to be a little dry in the mouth. She took a long breath and felt a little thirsty. She had finished her coffee long ago. She looked at Su Ming with a questioning look. Su Ming had a cup of tea in his hand.

"I haven't drunk it, you drink it." Su Ming nodded and smiled.

The tea was already cold. Xin Linli picked it up and drank it in one gulp. She wiped her mouth with satisfaction and said, "What is a movie? It's a story. If you want to make a good movie, the first thing you have to do is to tell a good story in a down-to-earth manner. From this point of view, although the plot of Legend of the Gods is simple and clichéd, it tells a story in a way that ordinary people can understand: the battle between justice and evil, the protagonist fighting monsters and upgrading step by step, and finally obtaining a powerful weapon and defeating the boss. Unlike many domestic movies nowadays, either they are forced to express some inexplicable ideas, or they tell the story too mysteriously, and many people can't understand it at all. Both are not good, especially the latter. After all, making movies is to make money, not to hold art exhibitions. No matter how high the style is, it is useless if the audience can't understand it."
