Chapter 528 The Dilemma of the Creator (Please Message in the Early 4k Month)
After my father’s phone call, Shi Xiaolong’s phone call was immediately followed.
"You really made a big news this time, "World of Warcraft". When I was in college, the game became very popular. I didn't expect you to bring it to the big screen now "
Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, do you want to leave a character for you?"
Shi Xiaolong was stunned, "Can you do this? I remember the game was originally pure Western Be a background, don’t you have to choose Western actors? ”
"It's true in theory, but goblins, trolls, etc., don't pick races, you can try it." Chen Linfeng said with a joke.
"Go to you, just make fun of me."
"Haha, just kidding, in fact, human race and elves are fine. As long as you put on good makeup, there is no big problem." "Is that true?" Shi Xiaolong said strangely, "Hollywood, especially Blizzard and others, can they agree to add domestic actors?
I heard that Blizzard has too many requests, and can agree to you get the script The decision-making power is not easy, right? ”
"Generally speaking, I won't agree, but the situation is different now. The right to speak is a game between each other. Blizzard has begun to bow his head. As long as it is not too much in the future, they will continue to bow their heads." Chen Linfeng Fei so To strive for great strength is to keep your word.
"And this is also for the later box office considerations. If you invest in movies, who doesn't consider the Chinese market now?"
Especially "World of Warcraft", a version that was not very successful in the previous life, the movie was a movie that was not very successful in its previous life. The big part of the box office is also in the domestic market.
Shi Xiaolong didn't quite understand the inside story, but he trusted his younger brother's judgment as always.
"As long as you think about it, it's enough. After all, the movie costs are high, the investment is large, and there are many people watching in China. The cost of failure is too high, so it's better to think clearly."
It seems that Xiaolong has also noticed it. , this trend is indeed quite big. "Well, I know, I will be careful." Although Chen Linfeng has been busy a lot due to the leak of the Warcraft project news, he has put a lot of pressure on him.
However, since he experienced this, his ability to withstand pressure has long been developed, which did not affect his daily shooting.
The crew is full of veterans and the actors are all mature actors, so the progress has not been affected.
It is worth mentioning that among several mature actors, Liu Qianqian's acting skills are already quite conspicuous. She is no longer the tail of the crane, but the results of her efforts over the years are revealed.
In comparison, her acting skills can even be considered good. Because she is well prepared and has a relatively small number of times, she seems to have put in real effort, and Chen Linfeng's daily training has also worked.
But after all, it is a commercial film, so there is no need for actors to have too good acting skills, just don’t go against each other.
Chen Linfeng has not started acting for a while, and after he appears again, he doesn't seem unfamiliar, and the number of times is the least.
This sometimes makes him a little confused whether Guo Fan is doing something.
"Old Guo, why did you give it back so quickly? Are you sure there is no problem?"
Guo Fan stretched out his head from behind the monitor and grinned his teeth. br>"Director, you are really good at acting. The information is transmitted to the position, the lines, movements, and the execution of all aspects is fine. If you don't believe it, come and take a look."
"Don't you be shooting me No, no."
"Of course it's impossible. Be serious, teacher, we're filming."
"Then I've really gone to watch it."
"You come."
" >Chen Linfeng was worried, so he really walked to the monitor and watched the playback.
If you want to talk about the problem, there is really no big problem.
But if you really want to reach the level of striving for excellence, it is not considered as, after all, this is just the second one.
However, for Chen Linfeng, it is enough?
He turned his head and shouted to the camera, "Old Cao, come and have a look."
After a while, Cao Yu touched his chin and watched the video just now, nodded. "I think there is no problem, I acted well, and I did everything well. Your acting skills are not diminished." "Old Liu, what about you, what about you?" >
Liu Qingshan, who was stretching his head to watch the fun, was startled and unexpectedly the director would ask himself.
He sorted out his words and said, "Well, I think it's good too. After all, it was the director you played it."
Chen Linfeng had a smile on his face, but now he has become calm and even His face was slightly gloomy.
The people around them didn't know what was going on, but they just felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they became a little nervous.
Especially, Guo Fan, who had just decided to make a decision, had a wandering face.
He immediately doubted whether he was really not doing anything well.
Or there was something wrong with the camera, he didn't see it.
Chen Linfeng sighed in his heart as he looked at the performance of the people around him.
It's still hasty.
I thought the crew were all old people, and there should be no problem coming from the era of TV series together.
But over time, as his grades get better and his status gets higher, these people don’t usually see them, but in fact they are more awe of him.
Especially after "Inception", this awe almost reached its peak.
Chen Linfeng didn't notice it much before.
Now with his memory, when you think about it, you can find that in the past period of time, the people around him basically echoed the voices.
No matter what he said is right or not, even if he is joking sometimes, someone will take it seriously.
This naturally also includes Guo Fan.
In other words, as a student, his problems in this regard are even more serious.
It was originally a teacher-student relationship, and the status gap was even higher than that of colleagues.
This makes it impossible for them to pick the mistakes as much as possible.
Not to mention striving for excellence, even if there is any mistake, they may not dare to point it out.
Chen Linfeng immediately thought of the question that when he went to the crew of "Journey to the West" and became famous for his first time.
[How to prevent the people around you from changing their attitude towards you because of becoming famous, causing the information you receive to be distorted. 】
Over the years, he has been very nice to the people around him, just to delay the process.
In fact, he did a good job.
The backbone members of the crew have always improved their status with him.
Everyone has improved, which is equivalent to not improving.
Although Chen Linfeng is quick, everyone has a good relationship, and he can try his best to look at it with a normal mind.
But the $1 billion in Inception is too powerful, and the flattery inside and outside the circle is too fierce.
It's hard not to be affected by these old guys in the crew.
They suddenly realized that Director Chen is now a world-class director, and they are really not the ones they can laugh at.
Just like now, Chen Linfeng was in a heavy mood just because he thought about something, and his face was a little heavy, and the other staff felt a little nervous.
This will basically not happen in the past.
Cao Yu is a little better, after all, he is a top photographer who has won awards many times and his status is not low.
He broke the tranquility and asked, "Director, do you... think there is any problem, just say, let's follow your changes."
"Yes, yes," everyone around him He immediately agreed, "What do you think is wrong, let's correct it immediately." Guo Fan also said, "Teacher, my level may not be enough now, and I can't see it well. Please give me some advice. I will definitely find a way to correct it."
He said this sincerely, and he really felt that his level was not enough.
Yes, compared to the top five directors in the world's film history, my level is definitely far behind.
Chen Linfeng opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. If he had to say too much, others would probably think he was pretentious.
In the end, he could only click on the screen where he thought it was not perfect enough, and then emphasized,
"It's not enough to have no problem. We must strive for excellence as much as possible. Even if we really reach the level of perfection, try as much as possible. What if there are better ones."
"Well, I understand, director .” Guo Fan nodded seriously.
The people around him also looked solemn and accepted the director's guidance.
Chen Linfeng didn't know if they really understood.
He felt that the trouble was here, and there were a lot of people saying that everything was said, and there was no objection.
But in fact, he doesn't know whether everyone really agrees with it.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Will the follow-up really become stricter, especially in the face of his director and actor, he is not optimistic about whether he can be "narrow-picking".
You can only pay more attention to the subsequent situation, and treat yourself as strictly as possible every time you involve your own shots.
But this is hard to say whether it is useful.
After all, there is an eternal curse for creators, which is "self-interested bias" and "self-identity".
In summary, it is difficult for creators to view their works objectively.
There are many such examples.
The typical example is like some directors of domestic movies. Sometimes the audience cannot understand how a top director can make such a bad job.
Yuanshi Tianzun could lose all his magic power because of resurrecting a disciple of three generations.
The best martial arts director in the past shot a piece of expired defense.
These problems of traffic and capital alone cannot cover up the director's own problems.
Maybe these directors think they are doing well.
But any ordinary audience can see the problem.
Sometimes, audiences are likely to have a question. If you ask an ordinary person, you won’t be able to bring this movie out like this?
Let me evaluate it, and each evaluation will be accurate.
In fact, this is the dilemma of the creator.
The same is true for Chen Linfeng. When facing creation, especially for performances such as creation without reference standards.
The evaluation is distorted.
He himself even understood this truth.
Chen Linfeng tried his best to find faults, but he always felt that he couldn't find any ideas.
However, he lost the correct feedback from the outside world, which made it increasingly difficult for him to make objective evaluation.
So those top directors will face this problem later?
When Chen Linfeng was 24 years old, he finally encountered a hindrance of knowledge and views, or some kind of bottleneck.
At the end of October, it was also when Chen Linfeng thought he was trapped in a hindrance of knowledge and views. The crew welcomed Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and others.
Chen Linfeng has been feeling a little anxious in the past few days, but it is hard to see on his face. He asked with a very warm smile, "Why are you still trying to get together?" Jiang Wen The usual loud voice sounded, "I'm not thinking that you are filming, and I heard that the film and television base in Pingshi is doing well, so let's take a look."
"It's a coincidence," Chen Kaige He smiled and said, "There are many rumors in the circle recently, and it is rumored that you are going to make the movie "World of Warcraft". We are also curious and just come and ask about the situation."
"What's there to ask about this? Isn't it just a normal movie project?"
Chen Linfeng responded with a smile while instructing people to bring in a few stools.
The temperature in October was just right, so they sat around an open space outside the studio.
The autumn wind blows, bringing coolness, and it makes people feel very comfortable with the sun slanted from the sky.
"You're not an ordinary project," said Zhang Yimou. "I have been listening to many discussions when I was filming recently.
Some people compare this movie to a Marvel movie. Universe, it is possible that you have been a 'World of Warcraft Universe' that is sufficient to compete with "Avengers". "
"Indeed, I have heard a lot of rumors," Jiang Wen nodded, "Speaking of it, since "Inception", everyone has been more concerned about your news."
Speaking of this, Chen Linfeng Unconsciously thinking about the problems I encountered recently.
Inception has indeed gained a lot on him, but it is too big, so he feels very tricky now.
When I think of this, I can't help but sigh.
The three of them were very surprised. Xiao Chen should be in a state of pride, so why is he still worried?
Jiang Wen asked directly, "What else are you sighing like, a big celebrity?"
Chen Linfeng did not hide it from him, and revealed his recent worries.
The three of them looked different, Zhang Yimou was silent, and Jiang Wen was surprised.
Chen Kaige was even more surprised. Is there such a thing?
Chen Linfeng looked at the three of them, "Have you encountered this situation? How did you solve it?"
Actually, I don't have much hope.
If it is really solved, domestic movies in previous lives will not reach the point where they want to shout for rescue to the public.
Jiang Wen raised his eyebrows and said, "I have never thought about your perspective. The creator's knowledge and opinions are hindered, and people around him dare not point out problems. It is considered a logical closed loop."
He frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect any solution, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Your trouble is a bit high-end. I am not as good as you. I have been with me. I still have some people who can point out my faults in bluntly."
"And I know my own bad habits. Sometimes I am too literary and I am trying to find a way to correct them." Jiang Wen was a little happy when he said that, because he remembered that he was the most blunt-spoken at the beginning. The one who pointed out his problem was Xiao Chen in front of him.
This is good, Xiao Chen will never be afraid to clarify his Jiang Wen's problem.
He has a friend.
Chen Linfeng gave him a blank look, and there was no way to say so much.
He looked at Zhang Yimou again.
Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of this. Wei Ping always had different opinions, and sometimes we were still fighting each other.
He is different now than before. Almost what I say is, thinking about it is after winning the Oscar in "Sunset".
Think about it now, Wei Ping argued with me. To some extent, it might be a good thing, but instead Now, it has become harmonious and may be harmful." Zhang Yimou even began to worry.
There will be no problem with my new film "Diaoyucheng" recently?
Think about it, it seems that after the film was cut, he showed it to Xiao Chen, but he didn't say anything.
That should be fine.
Huh, don't worry.
