Xu Xin said nothing.
He just handed over another cigarette.
And I made up my mind to wait for Lao Xu to leave and read this novel called "The Master" carefully.
After lighting the cigarette, Old Xu said:
"So I plan to become a director myself."
"Well……"
When Xu Xin heard this, he related to the topic they had just talked about and asked directly;
"Want to shoot some "real kung fu"?"
"right."
Xu Haofeng responded:
"The kung fu it captures may not look good, and may not be accepted by many kung fu movie lovers. But... it's just like the old man did to me. You don't have to pay attention to the meaning, but at least you have to leave something in the "form". Let's
After everyone saw it, they realized: Oh? It turns out that real kung fu is like this... I also tell everyone that martial arts is not just fancy tricks. When it comes to real fighting, it is the kung fu of fighting with people."
"..."
Tsk.
Xu Xin was speechless.
It's not that I was shocked, but I didn't know what to say.
Frankly speaking, as a director... he would not agree with Lao Xu's idea.
From its inception as a pastime, movies have gradually evolved into an art form.
The beauty of the picture is definitely a very important part.
There are many elements that make up the beauty of a picture, such as various scenery, portraits, light, etc...
Let’s not discuss these things for the time being in Kung Fu movies. It also has a necessary requirement, that is, “Kung Fu must be good to watch.”
This is also one of the driving forces behind the development of kung fu movies to this day.
But now if someone... who is not a director says in front of him that he wants to make a movie that "isn't very good-looking"... or in other words, it violates the core concept of the driving force of kung fu movies from the beginning, he will definitely sneer at it.
After all, I am a "newbie" at heart. I have not yet entered the industry, so I want to beat Zhongyuan Wubai.
But...
He understood Lao Xu's thoughts.
"You have to leave something behind for future generations."
As soon as this artistic conception comes out...
He didn't know what others thought, but in his case, he had to give Lao Xu a thumbs up.
But……
Behind the art palace of film, there is also a river piled with money.
Without this river, 99% of the people in the art palace would starve to death.
The script will not be discussed, and the story will not be mentioned.
In Kung Fu movies, the mere fact that "the fighting doesn't look good" is enough to warrant a death sentence.
"It's very difficult to put this idea into practice."
"The difficulty lies in the market, right?"
Obviously, Xu Haofeng also understood what Xu Xin meant.
There was also a hint of helplessness on his face:
"Actually, after I came up with this idea, I have always known that this is a difficult point. To put it bluntly...even if it is produced at a small cost, it will cost several million, right? But when I think about using other people's money to do things,
But the problem is... I really want to leave something... To be honest, Xiao Xu, you know I am most dissatisfied with this "Master" novel.
Where is the place?"
"where?"
"Those martial arts rules... before I started writing, I had a general idea in my mind. But after I started writing, I found that many of the things my second grandpa told me, and some of my experiences in the world, were clearly in my mind. I had heard it and thought about it.
, I was even thinking about it a few years ago. But now I suddenly forgot...I can’t remember..."
"..."
When Xu Xin was speechless, he pointed to his brain:
"I'm really getting older. I'm still under 40, so my memory is no longer good."
The "young man" who is 37 years old this year cannot hide his disappointment.
It seems like that boy was just yesterday.
But looking back suddenly, it was just a dream that seemed like flowers in the mist.
It can no longer be seen or touched.
Flowers bloom again.
No one is young anymore.
Normally, when Xu Xin, who was in a rational state, heard this, he might smile and comfort him with a joke like "Go back and take more Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and you will have everything."
Because he knows that everyone will grow old.
Heroes grow old and beauties grow old.
Very normal.
As an industry practitioner, he believes that if a movie is given factors that are greater than the story when it is first created, then the script will undoubtedly fail.
When everyone watches a movie, what matters is not what the director expresses.
But first we have to look at what the story is about.
Just like when many people think of "Kikujiro's Summer", they will think of Joe Hisaishi's famous summer song.
But if you watch Takeshi Kitano's movie because of this song, you will find that its initial impression is that of a very weird road movie.
Especially Takeshi Kitano's acting skills.
That facially paralyzing acting method and poor lines, combined with some ridiculous plots, will make you doubt your life.
But after watching it slowly the second time, you will find that the look and feel is much better.
But movies that require careful viewing usually explode at the box office.
On the streets.
For Xu Xin... although he doesn't think the other party is a failure, he doesn't really like him either.
Nothing in a movie should escape the absolute principle of storytelling.
Make a good story first.
As for what you want to put in the story, let those viewers who like the movie watch it and enjoy it slowly.
For a director who can't even shoot a story well, it would be better for him to go back and practice his basic skills first.
This is his usual view.
However, I drank wine at this time.
People become impulsive easily after drinking alcohol.
What's more, he once dreamed that he drank and beat someone into a vegetative state...
He understood what Lao Xu meant.
I also understand that he wants to leave to this generation the traces of the "Second Masters", "Li Shuwen" and "Gong Monkey" in the Republic of China, which are close to reality and can be used as evidence and reference for future generations.
If a person lives for decades, if he can leave something to this world.
No matter how you think about it, it is a... very happy thing.
So, before his mind could react, his subconscious asked himself three questions silently.
1. Do I have money?
Two, am I short of money?
Three, will Yang Mi be angry if I spend money?
These three questions didn't even cross his mind.
After subconsciously giving the answer, looking at Lao Xu's melancholy look, he chuckled and said:
"Isn't this simple? If you want to find investment, just come to me. I'll invest for you."
To be continued...
