738. The layman guides the expert, and I see it!
In fact, youth films and other past lives can be roughly divided into several stages.
The first stage is the purest type, without too much bloody things.
Lao Mouzi's "Love of Hawthorn Tree" can be counted in it.
Then came the "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" from the Treasure Island!
Then here in the mainland, "To Youth", "Soon of the Year", "You, Deskmate", etc.
It can be said that a wave of youth films has been set off.
At least, this will add such a type of film in the Chinese film industry.
And the box office performance can be said to be quite good.
Of course, this kind of movie is becoming more and more bloody as it is filmed. Such cheating, cheating, abortion, and difficulty in getting old are almost standard for this kind of movie.
Although it’s bloody, it can’t be resisted. This is what is called youth.
Even later, many viewers said that this is not our youth, and our youth is not as exaggerated as cheating and abortion.
But I can't stand it, I make money quickly!
Of course, later, the youth film was also filmed and gradually declined.
But now, youth films have not yet formed a trend in China, and the fire has not started to become popular, so there is no downward trend.
Although Ou Junlong is not a big director, he is a relatively famous among the new directors after all.
Therefore, there were still many people who came to support his movie premiere.
Even Lin Muran and others came over.
Therefore, the premiere of "You, My Deskmate" is also very star-studded.
Because Ou Junlong himself may not be able to give face to support him, after all, he is just a director of the younger generation.
However, because he had a close relationship with Lin Muran and others, he learned that these great directors would be there, so naturally, some celebrities would come to support the audience without looking at monks and Buddhas.
What’s interesting is that Chen Zhixian is also a “character” who is given face!
Of course, it is more of the singers in the music industry.
The premiere of "You, My Deskmate" was very successful, and Chen Zhixian had expected this.
But in fact, the difference between Ou Junlong's version and the version of "You, the Deskmate" in his previous life can be said to be very large.
Chen Zhixian did not write a script for Ou Junlong, but instead made some suggestions.
He is still self-aware. If you say that he knows more about movies, he really doesn't understand them. At most, he is a keyboard warrior who talks about war on paper.
Thanks to the number of movies I read in my previous life, it often makes people feel that he knows movies very well, but in fact, if he really goes deeper, he will expose it directly into the diorama.
"You, the Deskmate" in this world can be seen as a collection of "The Girl We Chased To Youth" and "You, the Deskmate", or a variant.
There are similar places, such as nostalgic pictures, and some things that make people feel inexplicably familiar.
But there are also differences, that is, the whole story is really very different from "You, the Deskmate" in my previous life.
Relatively speaking, it is not that bloody. Ou Junlong is probably still unwilling to let go of his commercial movies for the first time, but this is quite satisfying to Chen Zhixian.
At least, when he watched this movie, he felt that it was no worse than the youth films in his previous life.
According to the feedback from the audience on site, it is indeed very good.
Originally, although Chen Zhixian's Minghu Film and Television was also an investor in "Your Deskmate", the proportion was not particularly large.
After all, Minghu Film and Television does not have a distribution channel. It is okay to invest, and it is OK to make some small-cost movies, but it is fine if you want others.
Chen Zhixian did not have much ambitions about this.
But what Chen Zhixian didn't expect was that Lin Muran grabbed him.
Obviously there is something to look for yourself.
Although Chen Zhixian was a little curious, he did not take the initiative to ask questions.
This time there was no one else, only Lin Muran and Chen Zhixian.
"Teacher Chen, you have to give me a staff officer." Lin Muran suddenly said.
Chen Zhixian looked confused.
"No, Director Lin, I really don't understand the movie. How can I give you a consultant?" Chen Zhixian would not show off his skills in front of experts like Lin Muran.
He was confused even when he filmed the movie, let alone to provide advice to other directors.
Lin Muran smiled and looked at Chen Zhixian and said, "Don't understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand!"
"If you understand, I won't look for you." Lin Muran's words made Chen Zhixian even more confused.
Are all the big directors so casual nowadays?
"No, Director Lin, I don't understand this. I am an outsider, can you be a staff officer for an insider? You'd better spare me." Chen Zhixian shook his head and said.
"Don't rush to refuse. The book "A Man's Lights and Decoration" is yours, and the story is what you think of. Then, there must be a picture in your mind. Just stand from the perspective of a bystander, and talk about it, how did this movie be displayed in your imagination?" Lin Muran said.
Chen Zhixian smiled bitterly and said, "This... Director Lin, aren't you making things difficult for others?"
"Even if I have pictures in my mind, how can I compare with the real ones as imagined?" Chen Zhixian shook his head.
He had read the multi-part montage and the like written in a novel in his previous life. It was very exciting to read the text description, but the problem is that it is OK to imagine it, but it is fine.
But the key is, can we achieve that effect?
"No, no, no, what I want is the idea of someone like you who doesn't understand the shooting of movies." Lin Muran was not unhappy when he heard this, but instead said with a smile.
Chen Zhixian immediately felt a little confused. Isn’t this a nonsense?
"You must think that I'm talking nonsense. In fact, I want to find some inspiration. For "A Man's Lights and Decoration", I always feel that I can make a breakthrough in this movie, but I can't grasp that key point. So, you, the bystander, but at the same time, are the original author of this story. Naturally, you must have the picture of this movie you imagined in your mind. This is what I want."
"Precisely because you don't understand, you won't think about whether you can do it or how to do it. Instead, your thinking will become more divergent, more free from the constraints of existing film technology, and innovate!" Lin Muran said.
"Uh!" Chen Zhixian now understood what Lin Muran meant.
It's nothing more than that, it's a bit like the American White House looking for Hollywood directors who make movies and make suggestions on counter-terrorism.
Don't laugh, this is true. Since 9/11, the United States has really used all the best, allowing Hollywood directors and screenwriters to fantasize about how to attack Americans, how to carry out terrorist attacks, etc.
