Chapter 698: The tragedy of comedy(1/2)
Really, if Wu Di is asked to act stupid as the plot progresses, he can barely tolerate it, but being able to tolerate it does not mean that it is acceptable.
After all, when it comes to clothing and makeup, Wu Di is already helpless. He has suggested to Lao Zhang many times that he should change to normal makeup. Who said you have to dress up so exaggeratedly when filming a comedy?
There is no necessary connection at all.
But when you said there was no contact, Lao Zhang thought there was a connection. At the beginning, there were not many scenes filmed, so everyone still held on to hope.
But now, one-third of the filming has been done, and thinking about it, I know that Lao Zhang is determined and will never look back.
Then, if you want to achieve your goal, you must start from other aspects.
For example, when it comes to improvements, I don’t agree with your idea. It’s always okay for us to make temporary changes.
That’s ok!
It is indeed possible.
There is no doubt about this.
Because Wu Di has already followed the same method and succeeded several times.
Although Lao Zhang talked a lot about this and that, he finally accepted it. Although it was not much, in Wu Di's view, it could be regarded as turning things around to a certain extent.
At least, in his memory, he has corrected a lot of the points that would make people complain.
As for now, if you can work harder, don’t work less. Anyway, wouldn’t it cost you a little face at most?
What are you afraid of?
"You said what I filmed was a farce?"
"How dare you say that?"
Lao Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and dark clouds quickly enveloped him. However, facing Lao Zhang's imminent thunderous wrath, Wu Di remained the same.
No intention of giving in at all.
"Mr. Zhang, don't misrepresent me. I mean, if you blindly follow the current route, it is very likely that San Yaner's movie will turn into a farce."
"Of course, I don't have the final say on how to position it. As the director, you actually don't have the final say. In the end, the audience has the final say."
"If the audience agrees with the film, then it will prove that Mr. Zhang's opinion is not wrong at all, but..."
"If you fart, hurry up."
After getting along for a long time, Lao Zhang has become very familiar with Wu Di's way of speaking like saying something and leaving something behind, squeezing out toothpaste.
This guy is always trying to make excuses. If he's doing well, he won't tell the whole story. This is his usual style.
Why haven't you noticed this before?
This kid is so cunning and cunning, yet he thinks he is a good guy and tries his best to get Xiaofeng to get along with him.
Every time he thought about this, Lao Zhang wanted to poke his eyes out.
However, he didn't poke it in the end.
Why?
Of course, he is afraid of pain and death. The most important thing is that you can't say that what Wu Di said is completely unreasonable.
In fact, in some respects, his remarks also make sense, although only a little bit.
"However, from a certain perspective, today's actor friends can also be regarded as members of the audience."
"If one or two people have opinions, it can be seen as that they have no vision and cannot understand your profound intentions. However, basically everyone is not satisfied now, and Director Xia, you cannot ignore his ideas.
Just in time."
Right!
The minority must obey the majority!
Although making movies does not necessarily require paying attention to these principles, after all, movies are a director-centered art form.
But the problem now is that you, Lao Zhang, can indeed have the final say, but if this continues, the actors will rebel!
No one is willing to listen to your instructions and make movies according to your wishes, so what do you do?
Making a movie is not just about stand-up comedy, where one person can do it all. This job still requires a team effort.
Wu Di has no other intention. He just wants to remind Lao Zhang in time. You have to think clearly and don't go against the will.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you also think what I'm filming is a farce? Or do you have a better idea?"
Hey, wouldn’t it have ended earlier? It’s so hard.
"Of course there is a way, and it's very simple."
"Tell me quickly."
Since it's simple, you can give it a try. It doesn't cost anyone or money, so why not?
"Just change this ending into a tragedy!"
"Director Zhang, in fact, your story does not need to change at all. The structure is still the same and the direction is still the same. However, as the saying goes, the greatest comedy core must be tragedy. Although we are a comedy movie, in the end
You must leave some room for the audience to think, this is the true meaning of comedy!"
"For example, Life Is Beautiful, you see, that one has received unanimous praise from film critics. It is an absolute classic, and there is almost nothing to fault."
"Of course, if you can make a pure comedy like Escape from the Tiger's Mouth, which even ignores the war background but is not boring, then the effect should be good. But you can only say three words and two shots.
…”
"Right!"
There are many things that would be of no use if made clear, and would even make both parties very embarrassed, especially Lao Zhang. If he gets angry, the entire crew will be blind.
Wu Di can't make movies, so he can't afford to offend him.
"So, you are saying that you want me to shoot all these protagonists to death?"
"Is this a tragic ending?"
"Calculate!"
"Of course forget it!"
Wu Di nodded desperately, fearing that Lao Zhang would shrink back again, so he hurriedly encouraged him.
Yes!
Director Zhang!
Your idea is right, just follow this idea and shoot, but don't do the scene of resurrection from the dead, it's too scary!
You don’t know!
Your original ending, what was the quality of the finished product, and how ridiculous it looked on the big screen.
what you do not know!
I know it all!
Wu Di's heart is bleeding!
Because of the stimulation he had experienced, really, before he heard that he was going to take over the filming of this movie, Wu Di had never seen San Yan Er at all, he had only heard of its name.
I really haven't seen it before.
Only after seeing it for real did I realize the shocking destructive power of this bad movie.
horrible!
You can imagine how the first batch of young people who walked into the cinema and competed for the opportunity to watch this movie felt when they walked out of the cinema.
Haha...hahaha...
The bricks Lao Zhang laid could probably be used to build a villa!
How could Wu Di try his best to get it back after suffering so much irritation for no reason?
So, he wrote a small report overnight, which summarized what he thought could be improved in a few words and two shots, and it was also an area where breakthroughs were easier to make.
You know, if the entire story of this movie does not change, there are actually very few things that can be changed.
However, this is precisely the main line of the story. Judging from Lao Zhang's design, he actually also used his brains.
If you want to change his main plot, there is basically no way to do it.
Because although the promotion of the entire story is insufficient, it can be said that from a dramatic point of view, the conflict is not particularly sufficient.
However, one link after another is quite continuous.
Which node do you want to break through and make a big change, but it's not easy to choose the place.
In order to make Sanyan Erpai not so complete and scary, Wu Di racked his brains in those days.
Even when I go to the toilet, I have to think deeply with the smell!
Finally, he settled on a few points.
To be continued...
