Chapter 857: Brilliant masterpiece - "Little Times"
Zi Xuan in her previous life had three of the most criticized problems in her acting skills, including contact lenses, bangs, and chewing gum;
Moreover, Meng Qingzhou felt that Zixuan was mainly about positioning and choosing roles.
Silly Bai Tian is not a problem. Just show cuteness or naiveness. The problem is that she is not that cute. She is tall and not so baby-faced. It is really inappropriate to play Silly Bai Tian.
On the contrary, the urban white-collar (light-mature woman) type like Ariel Lin plays, she will be better. She is tall and looks good, and she can’t play silly Bai Tian really can’t play it, she is not suitable for her!
Zixuan's personal conditions are not first-class, but she gives people a more overall look, which is her advantage. Every actor, without her own advantages, is almost impossible to stand out;
So why do actors have a good image and good figure?
This is a typical problem caused by the current situation in the Chinese entertainment industry;
Let me give you a few actors: Li Baotian, Jin Shugui, Yan Shunkai, Su Tingshi, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, etc. These are not considered actors with good imagery;
What can such an actor survive in the entertainment industry and have a good status in the world?
The first is acting skills. Some of them are ugly, but they are eliminated if they don’t have acting skills;
Second, they were able to grasp the script image that fits their image in the early days, and when their acting skills were not yet perfect, they downplayed the slightly flawed parts of their acting skills by roles that were highly compatible with their prototypes, so that others could remember them;
Actors with good figures and good looks have a high starting point and can take on more movies, and their resources are better than actors with average appearance. For example, for example, Chen Kun, who can take on roles like the Seventh Master of the Golden Fen Family, and Huang Bo cannot take on it, but if you want to talk about whether Chen Kun can play the role of Huang Bo, this is a matter of opinion;
"Director Meng, maybe you have high requirements. I personally feel that Zixuan performs well!"
Huang Zuquan said the truth, but Meng Qingzhou himself might not have noticed it. Now Zixuan has become more calm and calm after abandoning the temptation of fame and fortune, which makes her more meticulous when shaping the characters;
At least I didn't bring any contact lenses!
It is indeed a bit unfair to examine Zi Xuan in the TV series from the perspective of making a movie;
Since Huang Zuquan thinks it's okay, Meng Qingzhou doesn't insist on Tian Niu being the actress queen, then let it go;
The happiest thing during the meal was Zixuan. She thought it would be a teaching meal, but she didn't expect that she would be praised by the director, but she was still in front of Qingzhou, so she was so handsome!
At a dinner party, the guests and guests were having fun. Huang Zuquan felt good about himself and thought that he had met the mainland boss. Zixuan was affirmed, and Meng Qingzhou was less trouble, and everyone was happy;
Of course, there are also those who are not so satisfactory, such as Gulina who quietly sent a message to Lao Meng without hesitation;
After saying goodbye to Huang Zuquan and Huo Jianhua, Zixuan, who was in a good mood, asked Qingzhou to send two girls back to the hotel, and went back to her room to prepare a big meal for her boyfriend;
The little girl's emotions come quickly and go quickly;
The little frustration before dinner, under Lao Meng's comfort, the girl quickly jumped up again;
"Uncle, my show will be over in two days. Director Xue asked me to join the group directly. Do you want to go with me?"
Lao Meng looked at the little girl helplessly: "You are not really going to let me be a full-time assistant, Xiao Di, uncle is very busy!"
"Hmph! Anyway, a bowl of water needs to be leveled, so we are all watching!"
Seeing Reba acting cute in front of Meng Qingzhou, Gulina was inevitably sad. While no one was paying attention, she secretly touched Meng Qingzhou's palm. The unprecedented stimulation made the little girl feel a little erratic when she walked;
"It's okay to visit the set, but it's really difficult for me to stay in the crew for a long time with you. Xiao Di. I still have to prepare the script."
The girl thought about it and felt that she was a little drifty. No matter how she calculated it, such good things would not be her turn so soon;
"Then you're determined, you're coming to visit the set!"
...
On June 27, the Tiny Times was released, which is also the first time that a pure fan-type movie appeared in the domestic film and television industry, or that the movie appeared in the form of MV;
The premiere day was a hit. It was about 35,000 screenings nationwide, with more than 2.1 million viewings, and the box office was about 73 million yuan, setting a domestic 2D movie box office record on the first day.
In the film, the little beauty Jing Chen, who is fragrant in the film, bursts with dazzling stars, playing the ordinary and weak "crying man" Lin Xiao in full swing, and gains a lot of praise;
But this is just the beginning, and the fan carnival cannot change the professionals’ downsides and mockings about "Tiny Times"!
The criticism of "Tiny Times" begins with the film critic Song Ziwen's self-reporter;
As a columnist who once joined "Watching Movies" and later planned "Art Life" and "Yang Lan's Interview", Song Ziwen has enough experience and qualifications to evaluate the pros and cons of "Tiny Times";
A director's first director's work is worth watching. Many directors make a big splash, accumulate a lot of things they want to say, and finally get the chance;
Although I don’t know much about Guo Juren, I have read media reports before and said that Guo Juren is good at commercial operation, so I went to watch this movie this time. In the end, it is estimated that the box office may be between 350 million and 500 million yuan.
Faced with such a grand title as the little "era", before watching it formally, I reminded myself that this movie cannot be watched in line with my own taste, and should pay more attention to whether it can capture young audiences such as his fans. After all, we were also the people who came to see the Meteor Garden in the past.
So when I sat down, I found that the audience was full of college students, and I was not surprised at all.
My basic requirement for a good movie is also the ultimate requirement, that he can fully explain a story with a reasonable plot.
But the main reasons for the small era are:
The rhythm is messy and the plot is not well designed;
The whole film is messy and you don’t know what he wants to express. From 10:00 to the end of 10:00, he tells a story about his senior year in a straightforward manner;
But the previous plot has nothing to do with the subsequent plot, that is, if you are happy, it doesn’t matter if you can talk about the previous plot later.
The plot design is messy;
The story he wanted to tell was too complicated, but Guo Juren couldn't grasp it well. The four women and four men interspersed without focus. As a result, every relationship was said very simply.
Organize various commercial elements bluntly;
The arrangement of this movie is too cramped. I would rather believe that the screenwriter is not too brainless, but the boss is too brainless. He cited various elements that may please the audience. In this movie, you can see many shadows of other movies, such as the Queen of Prada and the Fat Girl, but these elements are not very helpful to the movie itself. What is particularly obvious is that the Fat Girl's romance is completely redundant in the whole movie.
In addition, the various jokes in the film prove that Guo Juren is a person without a sense of humor. Perhaps as the boss, he often tells some unfunny jokes and some people laugh at them, so he inserted many unfunny jokes into them.
Too big gap with life
This is a story about college students, but almost the smallest audience group with the ability to pay, and the story is very different from the actual university life. It cannot touch the sensitive nerves of these audiences.
Content is empty, center is empty
It was not until the end of the movie that he gave something that "seemed to be the center", that is, the pain of breaking through the cocoon that four female college students experienced before their youth after learning from college. But the plot really cannot support such a profound proposition.
The better part of the film is that his shooting is indeed good. If this is not a movie, but a six-second short film shot with Vine, then every shot will be very exciting.
So, why do I think this film will have a box office of 350 million? Because in the first half of this year, we saw that the film industry has gradually taken shape and mature operation methods for online public relations and online marketing, but the market has not yet realized that this is commercial operation.
Moreover, although this film has so many shortcomings, at least it does not have the situation of "Damn it, this plot is too bloody". Therefore, it will not cause too many negative sounds caused by the bad movie. (More negative sounds come from Xiao Si himself, that is, these people will make negative comments even if they don't watch it)
What is the reaction in the actual theater? Apart from occasionally laughing, the audience did not give a special expression, and almost felt that "I just watched it."
So you can imagine that the reputation of this film will become: "It's average, it's pretty good, it's OK to see." Most people are not as picky as our professional critics or movie lovers, and they will not bring bad reputation.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that according to the peak end value law, the audience's evaluation of the movie depends largely on the impression of the end;
The alien Guo Juren did not end decisively when the four girls took the stage, but made a gay-looking guy smile at the end. Many viewers did not react to this. This was the ending;
The eight deputy directors failed to let him understand what the movie was to be free to play;
Even Meng Qingzhou, who has always liked to invite crews to watch movies, was not generous this time. The cost of booking the venue was not a big deal. He was mainly worried that someone would question his artistic appreciation ability after watching the movie;
Yang Xiaohu and Reba went to watch the movie together in the Magic City. The luxurious costumes and props and the ultimate sense of picture made the two of them call Lao Meng after watching it;
The caliber is surprisingly consistent, it is indeed an MTV movie!
But it is undeniable that Guo Gigan succeeded, with a box office of 260 million in the first week;
With the rise in box office, the controversy over "Tiny Times" has become increasingly fierce;
Zhou Liming, Wang Erdai, Gao Qunshu, Ke, etc. cover film critics, industry executives, directors, screenwriters, media and other people from different levels have posted on Weibo or written articles to express their attitude towards the film, but they have all been abused by Guo Jingming or starring fans because of their "disgust" with the film.
Among them, Zhou Liming's comments are the most spicy and direct;
"Countless fans of Guo Jingming came to siege me. The most common sentence is, 'You are old and can't keep up with this small era.' But do you know? If most Guo fans want to afford the things in the video and live the kind of life in the video, they have to go to the 'old thing' to be a mistress' as a mistress, and this is the hidden values of the film."
Under Meng Qingzhou's Weibo, many movie fans expressed their thoughts on hearing his views on "Tiny Times". Lao Meng was confused and had never seen it, so where did he think it was?
"I'm sorry, everyone, I have no time to be a clone in the crew, but movies are also products. As customers, you are the God of our directors. Therefore, you have the final say in the pros and cons of "Tiny Times"!"
"Tiny Times" is undoubtedly a movie with a very naive artistic level, but it cannot be simply called a bad movie: from the beginning, Guo Jingming knew what he wanted, and finally did what he wanted, handsome men and beautiful women, fashionable cities, modern times...
What? The characters are pale? The plot is thin? Don’t understand art? Sorry, these are not planned. In Wang Jing’s words: “Can you still see artisticity from my movies? You are amazing!”
In the theater, there are little sisters born in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as their boyfriends, and on the screen, handsome little faces looking up at the sky 45 degrees;
What else do you want?
Every male protagonist has found a way to take it off for you. What else do you want?
The movie was designed for fans of Guo Juren from the beginning. It was a sweet pastry shop. Then someone walked in and said: It was not nutritious, the taste was not spicy, and it was not good for the body. I'm sorry, this is really the fault of you who went to the wrong place;
"Hahaha, these film reviewers are so toxic. You can't join in the fun. Why do you think there are artists from our own company?"
She kissed Lao Meng intimately, wrapped in a cool quilt, Zixuan went to the bathroom weakly, and was tossed by someone for a game. From attacking on the side to going straight to the middle, every shot was an ultimate enjoyment, and the girl was exhausted both physically and mentally;
"Zixuan, I will go back to Yanjing tomorrow. Should Xiaoxuan be sent to the crew or should I take it back?"
Tian Niu looked entangled. During this month, the two of them had also visited the Demon City to see their children, but after all, they were not as they used to be, and they could see them every day;
"Qingzhou, this is not a show that our company has started. I don't want it to be too special, and it doesn't sound good if it is spread."
"You, just think too much. Do you think the dream boss didn't say hello to the crew?"
"Forget it, nothing is convenient here in Hengdian. You should take Xiaoxuan back!"
Before leaving, Meng Qingzhou took the initiative to deliver goods to his door, comforting his lonely little round face, and then successfully retired;
When I walked out of the airport, I was surrounded by reporters;
"Mr. Meng, are you going to return to your identity as an actor?"
"Director Meng, when will "The Grandmaster" be released? There are rumors that you are not very satisfied with the movie and plan to put it aside. Is it true?"
What kind of eccentric questions are all these? Meng Qingzhou looked at Zhou Yun in confusion. There was a reporter at the airport, but he didn't notify him in advance. This is not like Zhou Yun's work attitude!
Chapter completed!
