Chapter 1133: Organize the game to relieve the boredom
"I can live this little life even if I don't change it to a god, right? Old Xu?"
Ning Hao and Xu Zheng's family came first. After changing their shoes, they made fun of Lao Meng and said, "It's still the Spring Festival before the fifteenth day of the year, and they even brought things in their hands, but they were all for the children."
"I want to go out and have fun. There is no suitable place. Besides, I have to comfort the injured Director Ning."
Meng Qingzhou asked them to sit in the tea room at home, and the two mothers and Tong Liya took the child to the back;
"No, why am I hurt? The movies have made a lot of money. Just be worthy of investors. The word of mouth is different from the perspective of the person, and I don't care!"
In fact, they are very clear that the reputation of the movie has little to do with the box office;
If the so-called movie reputation is the ratings on platforms such as Maoyan, Douban, and Taopiaopiao.
So unfortunate.
There is basically nothing to do with the reputation of the movie and the box office.
Last year, there was a fresh paper called "Research on the Relationship between Online Reputation and Box Office of Domestic Films in 2018". It conducted a quantitative analysis of the relationship between Online Reputation and Box Office, and the conclusion was:
The relationship between word-of-mouth effect and box office is extremely weak;
A good film director must first have a complete story structure, and then the rest revolves around the story, adding memes, details, and hormones into it. Even if an audience member has never watched a director's film, he should be able to sit in the cinema for 120 minutes by the director's story.
If the director wants to have a box office, please respect the audience. Let the story be told first, let the actors be online, and then you will talk about feelings and art to the audience. The audience must watch honestly and brag about it after watching it. If you do not respect the audience, you must have a good time and have fun first. Don’t blame the audience for not letting you feel happy.
"By the way, mouse, you'll shoot Detective Chinatown 2 this year. The script has been put there long ago. Zhong Li is still waiting for you."
Ning Hao said he didn't worry about reputation, whether it was true or not, his brothers all know, after all, they are all shameless people;
"It's true, there's nothing else to do this year, but we have to agree first, we must be the original team!"
As they were talking, Zu Feng, Xue Xiaolu, Lao Pan and the others arrived, and then the people who entered the door were from Xinli. There was another greeting. After the aunt served the tea, the atmosphere came;
"Director Ning, there are 2 billion aliens, it's amazing!" Wang Zhiwen met Ning Hao earlier than Lao Meng, and the envy in his words was unconcealed;
She wanted to bind Ning Hao at the beginning, but unfortunately Xiaoma's dog brother was still there at that time, and the mouse had no other intentions. Later, she reached a cooperative relationship with Wan Chongshan, and there was nothing new about it;
Zu Feng took a sip of tea and asked Ning Hao with a smile: "I saw it online today. Some people say that your play is adapted from Liu Cixi's "Rural Teacher". Is it true or false?"
"I've read that book!"
After hearing the two of them, Meng Qingzhou immediately notified the company's publicity department, which happened to take this opportunity to make another wave of publicity;
Without the label "adapted from Liu Cixin's "Rural Teacher"", aliens are also considered a masterpiece that can be watched.
If you have to use this IP, you have to bear the corresponding pressure. Putting aside the quality of the film production, one thing that must be explained: "Crazy Alien" and "Rural Teacher" are completely two stories, and they are contradictory in terms of core connotations. Compared with novels, the connotation of the movie is not worth mentioning at all.
There are hierarchical differences in society, strength differences in countries, and height differences in civilization. The pyramid structure of the world is the consensus of everyone. However, facing this reality, different interpretations are extended.
In the movie, the two protagonists are unreliable little characters, one stubbornly insists on the backward monkey drama tradition, and one stubbornly runs business speculation all day long. On the other side, there are American elite agents and messengers of higher civilization. In the end, those high-ranking guys are fooled by the little people at the bottom, forming an absurd dramatic effect.
Among them, neither the little people nor the American politicians have the will to save the earth. The reason for their actions is for themselves, and aliens do not have respect for life. They want to destroy a civilization in just one thought.
Not only did they not see the reason for the American power, nor did they see the development of higher civilizations enough to achieve this. Just a group of "little people" dressed in gorgeous robes were performing, American elites were running around with rhythm like ordinary netizens, and the messengers of higher civilizations were like arrogant children with delusions to be killed and retaliated against those who hurt it. These "great existences" thoughts remain at the level of ordinary people, and their minds were even worse than ordinary people.
There is a question that we have to think about here. Is it because ordinary people only consider themselves and their own feelings, and not about grand issues such as the fate of human beings and human beings, so others cannot be allowed to think about it? The reason for the success of others cannot come from their level of thought? It’s just that they have good luck?
This is obviously wrong.
Comparing the performance of "Rural Teachers";
Like movies, the novel also creates a small character. The difference is that he only has the appearance of a small character and does not have the connotation of a small character. He is considering greater issues rather than his own personal complex psychology. This immediately causes discomfort among many people, so the slogan is shouted, and the character creation is stereotyped, not profound at all. From this, we can draw a "truth". Vulgar, ignorant and selfish characters are profound, and the image of positive energy is superficial.
Then to the higher civilizations in the novel, although they had just experienced the cruel cosmic war, they needed to immediately build a Great Wall that blocked the silicon-based civilization and use the method of destruction. Their parliament still considered the enemy and those insignificant low-level civilizations. They won the war by sacrifice, and they gave the enemy a way of life because of respect for life. They asked the flowers, plants, birds and beasts on the way to build the Great Wall because of respect for life. They chose to destroy others for the development of their own civilization, but they knew how to appreciate the tenacity of other civilizations and were intoxicated by the romance of ancient history. These noble qualities were based on the pursuit of great things, rather than from personal desires and evil.
When the "villages" are disturbed by the interest in watching the show and hold grudges against others, and when they sell and tear down the equipment that the government funded them for development because of immediate interests, Teacher Li is considering how to let the children see the world and how to let them understand the Three Newtonian Laws that may not be used in their lifetime.
This is the difference in the level of thought, and this is also the difference between the two works.
Perhaps in this era of change that is good at deconstructing and overturning authority, questioning "greatness" can prevent falling into discourse traps and make most people dare to pursue the truth. But they cannot tolerate some scum in it, and are just promoting their decadent ideas but not responsible for their own words.
"Mouse, if I remember correctly, you have been working on this script for more than a year, why do you still have so many loopholes?"
Meng Qingzhou dared to ask this question. Although everyone else has a clue, it is difficult to speak directly;
"Brother, science fiction movies, if you really want to be very rigorous, I can only contact the space agency and scientists. Do you think it is realistic?"
If the success of wandering the earth is due to the more serious and rigorous setting, it is separated from the absurdity of Hollywood placing the fate of all mankind on several people, which makes the audience respect the grand narrative. Then the crazy monkey-playing is to treat an extremely serious thing as a monkey-playing, and forcibly treat everyone as a mentally retarded in the anti-Japanese drama.
Just like the fat-headed and big-eared Japanese colonel in the anti-Japanese drama, the alien technology in this film is as inconsistent as a steam-powered rocket. How can the spacecraft be pulled down from orbit by satellites? The interstellar dust alone can destroy the spacecraft hundreds of times. Why do the alien spacecraft escape urgently without damage? How can it fall silly even if there are technologies that can control gravity? Why should you take off your space suit and expose yourself to the unknown biosphere? This violates the most basic scientific common sense.
Besides, contact with aliens is obviously a matter of all human beings, so why are only Americans doing it? And they are still in low-Earth orbit and open fire. When the space exploration systems around the world are all decorations? Americans are spreading TikTok in space? Nasa also specially opens an Internet interface for you? Why don’t search for aliens directly locate the landing point of the spacecraft? The huge monotonous flight trajectory is easier to identify than a thousand intercontinental missiles tied together. The American non-stealthy passenger plane flew in and did not attract the attention of the air defense system, and transporting huge objects to the consulate did not attract attention. The consulate had a huge experimental cabin, but no one noticed it. Who was this black?
Aliens are stupid, Americans are stupid, and the big guys all over the world are stupid. Under this premise, any metaphor and void shooting have become a joke. This kind of joke is not funny at all.
Unlike high-scoring comedy like Lost in Thailand, the protagonists Huang Bo and Shen Teng in the play did not achieve any growth, and the tragedy in their lives was not solved at all, and they did not even recognize their own problems.
After making adults embarrassed and ashamed, they defeated everyone and happily continued to be a giant baby. Is this the value the director wants to convey to the audience?
"Stop talking about aliens, aren't there any people who say it's unscientific? If you encounter serious things, we can't do anything about it."
The director of the circle nodded silently, this is the truth;
"The Wandering Earth is so popular, Liu Cixi's book must be booming. It's not easy to buy copyrights again!"
A milkshaishi voice came from the door: "What's so difficult? Aren't it all in the copyrighted curriculum of Wanchongshan? Don't you know?"
Everyone looked at Meng Qingzhou, "What a guy, you won't leave a way out for other film and television companies."
"But there are so many things that I have taken, it's not necessarily Liu Cixi's. It's not just Lao Liu who writes science fiction through hiccups, right? Besides, Cheng Long didn't even shoot the Stories from a Chinese Studio!"
Xue Xiaolu waved her hand. She only went to the cinema to watch "Detective Pu Songling" last night. The taste is hard to describe!
"I watched Cheng Long's movie. Oh, don't mention it. I just want to make money. The story is illogical, and the special effects are also fooling the audience. Don't try the poison!"
The Spring Festival movie "Detective Pu Songling" starring Cheng Long and starring Ruan Jingtian, Zhong Chuxi, Lin Bohong and Qiao Shan and other stars has been popular recently. In the Spring Festival period where films are constantly popular, "Detective Pu Songling", which focuses on fantasy comedy, is unique;
But many people also questioned online who gave the producer the courage to release the movie in the strangle of four blockbusters, even if he was starring Cheng Long;
When it comes to Cheng Long's movies, whether it is the police and gangsters' Kung Fu adventures in Hong Kong movies in their early years, or the "Kung Fu Yoga", "Soldiers and Lions", "The Lions from the Sky" and "The Twelve Zodiacs" in recent years, they are all remembered for their thrilling actions.
In "Detective Pu Songling", Cheng Long plays Pu Songling, who is a monster hunter who can distinguish between Yin and Yang and distinguish between good and evil. The magic pen named Yin and Yang is Cheng Long's weapon to catch monsters. The action scene with wild imagination and full of imagination once again witnesses Cheng Long's sword's immortality and heroic appearance.
Cheng Long, who always likes to incorporate comedy elements into thrilling actions, is no exception this time. In addition to the comedy rhythm of the action scene itself, "Detective Pu Songling" also created: "Pig, Lion and Tiger", "Booss", "Forget the Worry", "Eight Hands", "Bao Talking" and waiting for a few cute follower demons with different personalities and funny images.
"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" has more than 400 stories, including "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which is superior to ghosts and demons, and is so cruel that it is three points. The most famous of them is "Nie Xiaoqian" that has been brought to the screen many times. In "Detective Pu Songling", Ning Caichen played by Ruan Tian and Nie Xiaoqian played by Zhong Chuxi, who once again staged a human-ghost relationship or a human-ghost relationship.
It is rotten in the bones, destroyed in the roots, and plot in the skin. It re-tells the story of subduing demons with the harmony of yin and yang, and it turns out to be a "Four Nos" work:
It does not have the charm of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" nor the exquisiteness of a fantasy movie; it does not have the script extension and smooth plot extension, but it seems that it is copying many movies such as "Monster Hunting" and "Journey to the West".
It seems that in order to cooperate with the release of the Spring Festival, "Detective Pu Songling" has added many New Year elements and symbols of the Year of the Pig. It even found Cheng Long, who is still a box office guarantee, plays Pu Songling... He has indeed put a lot of thoughts on it, but the entire story structure, from the script to the actors, makes people lose the show, and more efforts are half the result with twice the effort.
The screenwriter was in a mess, and wanted to conquer demons and create an image of a "detective". As a result, 2/3 of the story was overshadowed by the love story between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, and turned into a misunderstanding of humans, demons and monsters.
The actors seem to collectively use Yin-Yang Talisman to seal their acting skills in their bodies, pretending to be ugly, pretending to be stupid, and acting cute, and using exaggerated lines and embarrassing body movements to please the audience. They especially feel sorry for Cheng Long. At this age, they pretend to be an old naughty boy dancing and singing awkwardly, which is really uncomfortable.
The only two highlights may be music and Lin Bohong.
In Jane Zhang's song "Twin Flame", Cheng Long and Cai Kun's chorus is still very lively; Yan Fei, played by Lin Bohong, is young and looks very beautiful in women.
It was originally a good idea for making fantasy adventure films. A popular ghost story. A little more thrilling, it can be made into "Van Helsing" and a little more comedy, it can be made into "Brothers of Grimm". The actors' acting skills are basically online. This is how the film can only be the fault of the screenwriter and director.
I originally thought that I could see some ghosts in the story of childhood in the movie, but after watching the emotional scenes and cute monsters for a long time, I directly made the movie "The Legend of Monster Hunt: Pu Songling".
Chapter completed!
