Chapter 523 Mo Yan, Nobel Prize in Literature? (6k)
"That's right, how to shoot a movie can allow the audience to quickly understand the plot and enter the story, which is actually a very important part of commercial movies.
It's best to be the first act. Just explain the main line clearly so that the audience can expect the subsequent plot.
It would be even better if the director and screenwriter could outperform and create a plot that makes the audience feel novel in the subsequent plot.
>
Many seniors in China like to keep stories told and slowly show the inner emotions of the characters through stories.
Some shots, lighting, and colors can be used as tools to express characters, so the older generation of directors often have a particularly high level in this regard.
This is actually a completely different logic from commercial films. "
Chen Kaige frowned and said, "What do you mean is that if we work hard on camera, color, and lighting, it is wrong? "
"Of course not. I'm trying my best to learn, and I'm not using these skills in my movies. "
Chen Linfeng looked at everyone and said, "I am talking about the starting point of thinking and the direction of the direction. Everyone is good at talking about characters and emotions, but they are not very good at telling the story as simple, easy to understand and attractive , I should be right? ”
Zhang Yimou said in a muffled voice, "You are not good at telling stories."
If others say this, they will definitely be dissatisfied, but facing the person in front of him, he will be speechless even if he has something to say.
Chen Kaige frowned, "Xiao Chen, please continue."
"I think, the skills of the director are already very high. In terms of storytelling, another If time is difficult to reverse, it is better to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
"How to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?"
"This is about the film that Director Zhang just made. It is not easy to think of a good story, it will be the same for everyone."
Look at yourself before everyone said this" In his eyes, Chen Linfeng said calmly, "In history, there are too many good stories and wonderful historical events. As long as you don't play around with it, follow the stories that have actually happened in history. , with a little adaptation, it is easy to produce a good script." Chen Linfeng suggested this, and he still wanted these directors not to fall behind too quickly.
At least make some movies that can be watched to enrich the audience's movie choices and don't let a lot of pure bad movies occupy the market.
The higher pursuit is that if these directors really rejuvenate and get started on historical subjects, it will be a good thing.
Chen Linfeng really hopes that these directors will stick out.
In the era of bright stars, Chen Dao’s bright moon is better than Director Chen’s nursing home, or there are no heroes at the time, making Director Chen famous.
When thinking about these things in my mind, Chen Linfeng suggested, "Director Zhang is good at big scenes, so he photographed historical war themes. What about Director Chen, you might as well follow yourself. Get started with what you are good at.”
"What am I good at?" Chen Kaige fell into deep thought.
"Let me give an example. "Farewell My Concubine" reflects historical changes through the life experiences of Cheng Dieyi and others, and uses small to set off the big ones. To a certain extent, this is also a work of historical themes. .
So let's change our era, for example, through Li Bai's life's situation, to reflect the history of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, or to the late Han Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the reciprocity of the Song Dynasty, etc. "
"There are too many wonderful things in Chinese history. Isn't this a natural material library?"
Chen Kaige felt moved when he heard the example given by Chen Linfeng, but he quickly thought that he had taken the photo before. After "The Orphan of Zhao", it was a historical event, but the desired results were still not achieved.
He raised this question, which made Chen Linfeng speechless. Before he could answer, Feng Xiaogang spoke.
"Your "The Orphan of Zhao" has too many problems. If you don't talk about anything else, the narrative rhythm is very messy. The front is too tight and the back is too scattered. The plot of Zhao's son growing up is not at all. It is necessary to write."
Chen Kaige's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't accept Feng Xiaogang's comments.
Then Chen Linfeng interjected, "It is true. The Yuan drama "Orphan of Zhao" focused the story on the disciple Cheng Ying saving Zhao's son. Later, Zhao's son grew up and then took revenge, which was just a matter of the story. "
"I think you filmed this story at that time, either like the Yuan Zaju version, which was developed from Cheng Ying's perspective to describe this history in detail.
Either use Zhao's son to describe his revenge and Cheng Ying's story as the background.
Add two paragraphs and one piece, it makes you feel a bit unbalanced. The description before is not detailed enough, and there is a bit of drama behind it. "
As soon as these words were said, the others nodded, and that's the reason.
"And the story of "Orphan of Zhao" is a bit old, and he sacrifices his own children for the lord's child , people today cannot understand. "Zhang Yimou made a rare note. "Yes, this story is naturally not conducive to publicity in modern times.
Although Director Chen actually made an adaptation that suits modern times when Cheng Ying exchanges babies.
But the public has an impression of the story of "Orphan of Zhao" itself, and many people will not pay special attention to how you adapt it. "
Several directors analyzed and explained clearly the reasons for the failure of the movie "Orphan of Zhao".
Chen Kaige listened quietly and felt Some recognition.
Of course, he has thin skin and cannot admit it. Only when facing these people in front of him can he listen carefully.
"Xiao Chen, I understand what you mean, that is, I can take materials from history and find someone to write a script?"
"Yes."
"Well." Then, Can you please help me read the script? "
"Well... it's OK, but I've read the script afterwards. Director Chen, please don't try to modify it later."
Let him read the script, which is actually another way to change the script and add the name. I helped Zhang Yimou read the script before, that's it.
"That won't."
Chen Kaige didn't say anything, and he began to think about which history he should choose and which story he should choose.
Then, he thought of what Xiao Chen said before, the prosperous Tang Dynasty changed from prosperity to decline.
This era should be able to talk about it.
Zhang Yimou said that it should be in line with the aesthetics of modern people. The plot of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Chinese people all have is OK.
Chen Linfeng didn't know that Da Chen had an idea.
He noticed something strange, that is Jiang Wen, who was unexpectedly silent today.
So Chen Linfeng asked, "Brother Jiang, what's going on today? It's so quiet?"
"Oh, you don't know, I'm worried about the script of the new movie." >
Jiang Wen sighed, revealing sorrow at least.
Since "Let the Bullets Fly", he has made up his mind to film the Republic of China trilogy. After the new script came out, he had a sudden idea and showed it to people who had never watched the movies much. However, he got a " I can't understand the answer.
Feng Xiaogang was very strange, "How come you learn from Bai Juyi? Don't you always care about this?"
Jiang Wen glanced at him, didn't want to say it, but thought that everyone present was all He is a director with a good level and is not afraid of embarrassment, so he mentioned it.
This was the case before, but after "Let the Bullets Fly", it was a little different.
Especially, he chatted with Xiao Chen a lot, and there is a saying that he deeply agrees.
"If you want others to understand your thoughts, it is best to explain them in ways that others can understand. You should not be too proud."
Xiao Chen used the example of a teacher, saying that this person who wrote books in plain language. , for fear that the people will not understand, you, Jiang Wen, are more proud than the teacher.
This statement made Jiang Wen’s heart somewhat change.
Although the idea of adding private goods remains unchanged, it is also good to have a larger audience like "Let the Bullets Fly".
But after having this idea, he realized that how to write it so easy to understand others and not too simple, like "Let the Bullets Fly", is not easy.
Feng Xiaogang was full of questions when he heard it, "Isn't it enough to tell a story simply? Are you thinking about so many things?"
Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige glanced at him in one go, and everything was said. middle.
Okay, I shouldn't have said this too much.
Feng Xiaogang, who is looked down upon in daily life, becomes autistic.
"If you do this, first remove all the metaphors and private goods, and disassemble the main body of the story to see if it is a logically complete story."
"Is this the 'Yan Ruisheng case' in the Republic of China? What have you changed to? No, no, the story is going to be very exciting."
"..."
Soon, a few people listened Jiang Wen talked about the content of the new script, and then tried his best to give him advice.
Even Feng Xiaogang interjects from time to time.
Several directors seem to have become accustomed to this model of helping each other and have become a small circle.
After sitting together and chatting for more than a day, everyone left.
Back home.
On the sofa, Liu Qianqian was half lying, holding Xiao Yunmao in her arms, and each person and cat were watching TV attentively. "What are you watching, so energetic?" Chen Linfeng glanced in the direction of the TV and found that it was Huazhong Channel's "Chinese Character Writing Conference", which should be a program produced by Long Lin.
Liu Qianqian looked at it seriously, and only looked back and looked at her husband, then turned it back.
On TV, the host gave a question and asked the contestants to write "The old man in a boat, the straw hat, fishing alone in the snow in the cold river." "The clouds think of clothes, the flowers think of appearance, the spring breeze blows through the threshold, the dew is thick." "Green Ants New Mash Wine, a small stove with red mud." A few words.
These are ancient poems with some rare characters, but they are not too difficult. They should be the primary difficulty of just starting out.
When Liu Qianqian heard the host's question, she quickly started writing and drawing.
Chen Linfeng took two steps forward and found that there was a notebook on the sofa, and Qianxi was writing with her pen.
I have already written a lot on the notebook.
Chen Linfeng didn't bother, just sat next to Qianxi, looking relish, just hugged Xiao Yunmiao and put it on his lap.
Xiao Yun was too lazy to move, and still put himself in a group, watching the colorful movements on TV.
Chen Linfeng stroked Xiao Yunmiao's belly, thinking that his cat was almost 10 years old and should be an old cat.
No wonder, in the past two years, it has become quieter and quieter.
Thinking of this, he sighed with some melancholy.
Over there, Liu Qianqian had just finished the answer and was basically correct. She clapped her hands happily, then changed her lying position and laid on Chen Linfeng's thigh.
By the way, I asked lazyly, "Didn't you have a party with a few directors? How are you talking?"
Xiao Yun Meow was squeezed away, cursing "meow" After a few words, he jumped away, found his cat's nest, and lay down.
Chen Linfeng's melancholy was interrupted and he smiled, "Fortunately, it's just a normal conversation about the movies to be released next, or what movies to be made in the future."
He probably mentioned it, and then suddenly thought of Xu Kexin's movie, "By the way, director Xu Ke intends to make a movie about fairy tale, I want to ask if you are interested."
"The fairy type plays a fairy type Is it a role? "
"Yes."
Liu Qianqian thought about it and was really interested. The TV programs I have watched recently are either ancient mythological themes like "The Wild Age", or "Chinese Character Writing Conference" related to traditional culture, which have somewhat aroused some similar thoughts.
After being together for so long, Chen Linfeng could probably understand what her expression and movement meant.
Seeing that she was moved, Chen Linfeng said, "When Director Xu's script is written, let's take a look?"
"Well... it's good."
"Well... it's fine." >During the chat, the host on TV has begun to continue to draw questions.
Liu Qianqian said "ah", picked up the notebook and started writing and drawing.
"Hey, Xixi, you wrote this word wrong."
"Don't talk, let me do it myself."
"..."
Chen Linfeng and Liu Xixi While the years at home are getting quiet, the domestic film market has gradually begun to fight for the National Day holiday.
But speaking of this year's National Day is really a bit unreasonable.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Apart from "1942", almost all the rest are bad movies.
This actually made Feng Xiaogang's family the dominant.
Chen Linfeng went to attend the premiere of "1942".
The directors at the beginning all expressed their opinions, and the final film was quite different from the previous life version.
After watching the whole movie, the tragic plot has not been reduced much, but there are more. The core of the story has been through hardships and has more thoughts from the protagonists of the story.
In this way, the overall temperament of the movie has undergone a lot of changes.
After watching it, Chen Linfeng guessed that the box office of this film should be quite good.
As a matter of course, there are no strong opponents, and the movie itself has improved a lot, and the schedule of National Day is relatively in line with the temperament of the film.
According to various factors, "1942" will eventually exceed 500 million box office according to the trend, which should be true.
Judging from the cost of the movie, profitability is absolutely fine.
And the reputation is really good. The ratings of a certain balcony and V site are currently exceeding 8 points.
In the end of September and early October, some media have begun to hype the Nobel Prize.
In March and April, Chen Linfeng rejected the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the topic was silent for a while.
But now, this year's Nobel Prize in Literature is about to be announced.
There are some media who want to take it out and stir-fry it.
Chen Linfeng didn't care about this, but he went wherever he went. When October, the result came out. If it was the same as the result in his previous life, it would be big news.
In early October, Han Shanping finally couldn't help but call Chen Linfeng.
"There is nothing else to listen to the movement of the new movie? We are old partners, so we won't forget us."
"I forgot, but I haven't forgotten this The reply is a bit different, I don’t know how to tell Mr. Han.”
Han Shanping immediately felt a sudden slap in his heart, "What's the matter?"
"That's right, I mainly worked with Warner in the last time I filmed "The Joker". You should also know that when I switched to a new movie, I have to Working with Disney, but Warner doesn't want to get off the car, look at it..."
Han Shanping's mouth twitched, "This is another big crocodile added."
"Who said it was not "Chen Linfeng also had a headache, "The key is that these two are a little unpleasant, and they both want to gain more share."
"Then what do you mean is, don't bring domestic companies to play?"
>
"That's not. I'm not such a person either. I just have to compress my share."
As the domestic market gradually rises, Chen Linfeng's previous two movies, except for his own investment share. I am not in a position, but I am actually a little more biased towards the country.
Disney had no objection to this at the time. When filming "The Joker", Warner also postponed the rules.
It has been 12 years since "Transformers", and they all specialize in plots to please China, and "Iron Man 3" has also launched special offers.
No matter whether these actions are useful or not, they are a manifestation of attention.
But this time, the two big bosses came in and didn't care about these things.
Han Shanping thought for a while, "Why don't we go and fight with those two?"
Chen Linfeng said, "That's what I mean, Mr. Han, you still have to do this for it. Hollywood doesn't care about it, you can suppress them."
"Go away, there is no such good thing," Han Shanping said angrily, "It's easy to compete with the six major Hollywood players to eat meat. "
"It's time to compete. The domestic market has risen and they have entered the market. There are benefits, so we have to set some new rules."
Chen Linfeng said, "It's better to start with my movie. If you want to enter the Chinese market, you have to make some concessions."
"What's your idea?"
"I Look, you can take up less investment, but you can send more people to the group. It just so happens that I am a director, and there are many people in the group, so I won’t hide it. What do you think?”
Han Shanping understood something, "You are so kind enough, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger?"
"The meat is rotten in the pot. Besides, I want to make special effects blockbusters by myself in the future. The few people in your hands are not enough, and you need more people in the country."
As Internet giants gradually entered the entertainment industry, Chen Linfeng also began to feel a little anxious.
Although Long Lin has brought a trend in the field of TV dramas, the situation seems to be pretty good.
But under the Internet tide, the concepts of "ip" and "data" have also become popular in the film and television industry.
Both sides are exerting force. If they don’t accelerate, they may become like they did in their previous life again. "Okay, I understand, your thoughts..." Han Shanping thought about it over and over again, and finally he only had a "very good" comment.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but sigh, "I can't blame anyone for success, this pattern is getting bigger and bigger."
The preparations for "The Shocking Demons and Thieves" were going smoothly, and in terms of props, The scene selection work on Aimeikan has also been done.
During the National Day, Chen Linfeng spent two days abroad to go abroad for acceptance.
October 11, Yanjing.
At 7 o'clock dinner time, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian were having dinner at home while watching TV.
There is nothing to watch at this time point, Chen Lin went to the 13th news channel.
Inadvertently, a foreigner appeared on the TV screen, and the subtitles on the screen showed that he was Peter Enlund, the permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy of Literature.
Liu Qianxi can understand English, and she stopped as she listened.
"The 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Chinese writer Mo Yan..."
"?"
Liu Qianxi opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise, "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, did you hear it?"
"Well, I heard it, Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature." Chen Linfeng was as calm as usual and continued to pick up dishes. Have a meal.
"Then..." Liu Qianqian hesitated, "Will it involve you?"
"Of course," Chen Linfeng swallowed the things in his mouth, "There is a good show to see "
He showed a look of watching the show on his face.
There is nothing to say about Mo Yan receiving the award in his previous life, but now he is in the forefront. I wonder if this person will receive the award?
Or why do you have a bit of a literary backbone?
Chen Linfeng is still calm, but the outside world is in a panic.
The Swedish Academy of Literature announced that this year's Nobel Prize in Literature will be awarded to Mo Yan soon.
The media across the country were shocked.
I never expected Mo Yan to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
At the first time, the media basically sent out reprinted reports first, and no matter what, the news spread throughout the country.
Soon, relevant videos and messages were found online.
The hot search on Weibo was the first, and the entry "Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize" was topped by the first.
V site also puts related videos on the homepage.
Although the boss seems to be inconsistent with the Nobel Prize, he still needs to have basic news ethics.
The news spread quickly, and it was just the time for workers to get off work and students to get off school.
At around 8 o'clock, most people who surf the Internet knew about this news.
The whole network is already boiling.
Netizens are happy at the first time, after all, it is a good thing for Chinese people to win the Nobel Prize.
But then, many netizens immediately thought of Chen Linfeng, who had a deep relationship with the Nobel Prize in the first half of the year.
And his rejection of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Chen Linfeng rejected the Nobel Prize, and then Sweden awarded the literary prize to Mo Yan, who is also a Chinese. Is there anything wrong with this?
In particular, the most popular video uploaded online at that time is still circulating on the Internet.
There is a saying in it:
"If there is such a day, I just hope that the winner will have some backbone and learn to let Paul Sartre maintain his own purity and refuse to receive the award."
"If there is no backbone to refuse, then I can only Prove that you write such a work either reveals or criticizes it, or to flatter the Western world."
The little Chen Linfeng in the video looked at the camera very seriously, as if he had penetrated time and space.
You should know that when I was doing the show, Xiao Chen Linfeng even gave an example, which contained Mo Yan's name.
This problem of riding on the horse is very irritating.
What happened back then has come true now.
Then the question is, now Mo Yan has been selected as the winner of this year's Literature Award.
Will he go to receive the award?
Or, will he agree with Chen Linfeng's words?
It must be known that Chen Linfeng could have officially refused half a year ago and would not participate in the Nobel Prize selection.
In order to fulfill their beliefs, younger generations rejected the Nobel Prize.
So what about seniors, what do you think of seniors?
Even if anyone doesn't understand, he knows what an embarrassing situation Mo Yan is in now.
The program effect is so strong that both netizens online and media in reality feel that this is a bit wonderful.
For a moment, no media dared to speak out casually.
