"forum?"

After Luo Quan arrived in Hengdian with his entire family, he was first approached by the program team of China Film Weekly.

It is said to be a weekly, but it is completely an online program. It is broadcast on the Six Princess Channel and the Internet. The main content is to introduce the big and small events that happen in the Chinese film and television industry every week.

In addition, every month this program also invites some well-known movie stars to hold symposiums and talk about various topics.

This time I found Luo Quan, and the topic I wanted to talk about was the dilemma of Chinese-language films.

Yes, Chinese-language films are in trouble.

The total box office continues to decline, with novices competing for domestic awards, and only Luo Quan supporting the scene in foreign awards. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a big problem.

But no one knew exactly what went wrong.

So I wanted Luo Quan and a group of directors and screenwriters to talk about it, not to solve the problem, but to speak out about it so that more people would know about it and participate in thinking.

Luo Quan originally wanted to refuse, but he heard that the shooting location was on the third floor of his hotel, within a few steps, so he went directly.

She did have a lot to say. Since she was so close, she could just say a few words. As for whether it could be broadcast, it was beyond her control.

The show recording scene was quite formal, with a round table in the center and five chairs around it.

By coincidence, Director Jiang Wen, an acquaintance of Luo Quan, was also here.

The other three chairs were occupied by the host and two screenwriters.

Although according to the host, no actors were invited to this symposium, Luo Quan and Jiang Wen have both been actors, and both have done quite well.

After the two met, Jiang Wen also greeted with a smile: "Hey Luo Quan, I heard that you are going to make a comedy film. This must be your first time, right?"

"There is a first time for everything, just like this time I came here to attend the symposium." Luo Quan sat down directly, as casually as if he were at home.

"Actually, I don't even know what to talk about. It's as if a group of us talking here can change the status quo." Director Jiang Wen lowered his voice, but he already had a loud voice, and no matter how hard he suppressed it, he would still let the others People heard it.

Fortunately, the camera was not turned on, so this sentence was not recorded.

However, according to Director Jiang Wen's character, it doesn't matter even if it is recorded, because this is what he wanted to say, and it is also true.

Just like if you call Luo Quan an ugly person, she will most likely laugh it off because it is a slander and not a fact.

But if you call an ugly person ugly, she may become anxious because you have hit her sore point.

And who are the people in the film and television industry who will be touched by director Jiang Wen?

Don't know, but it's definitely not less.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the host reminded the guests that the camera had been turned on and the recording of the program officially started.

"It's really an honor to be able to invite such important guests today."

The host put his hands together and said with a smile on his face.

Then the camera showed the guests one by one, and when it was Luo Quan's turn, she smiled and waved.

“The theme of our Chinese-language film symposium today is: What’s wrong with Chinese-language films.

I believe everyone has seen the box office of Chinese-language movies in the new quarter, which hit a new low in the past five years. There are obviously a lot of blockbuster movies, but why does it become like this? "

After the host finished talking about today's topic, he turned his attention to Director Jiang Wen.

Among the guests here today, Jiang Wen is the oldest and has been in the industry for the longest time. He is the perfect person to start with.

Director Jiang Wen obviously held back his words, and directly pulled the microphone in front of him to his mouth and said: "First of all, the word "blockbuster" is not particularly appropriate.

The box office is generally supported by commercial movies. Let's take a look at the commercial movies released. Which one can be called a real blockbuster?

Not to mention comparing it to Hollywood, when compared horizontally, it also seems to have no sincerity at all. The overall production is shoddy, the script is either plagiarized or Chinese-made, and the actors are all led by a bunch of young talents.

If a movie like this can still sell well at the box office, that would be truly unreasonable! "

Sure enough, Director Jiang Wen was full of fire as soon as he came on, and directly said everything that many people in the industry dared not say.

In fact, not only the audience, but also many practitioners have been struggling for a long time.

But there is no other way, investors like it, fans like it, and they must be hired for the sake of traffic, and the roles cannot be too small.

But giving too many roles can easily affect the overall look and feel of a drama, so sometimes a cup of mouse droppings can really ruin a pot of porridge.

The host was not surprised by Director Jiang Wen's attack, nor did he signal the cameraman to cut the scene.

From this point of view, the scale of today’s symposium is quite large.

After having director Jiang Wen proofing, the other guests felt much more at ease.

Immediately afterwards, the second guest, screenwriter Wang Hailin, took over Director Jiang Wen's words and said:

“Actually, it’s not impossible to put young characters in movies.

When it comes to product placement, it’s not like there haven’t been similar situations before.

At the beginning of this century, our Internet companies had not yet developed, and those who invested in film and television were coal bosses.

Their only request was to place actors, or in today's terms, bring money into the group.

However, the coal bosses have a sense of production safety and know that amateurs cannot direct experts, so after they installed actors, they stopped dictating everything in the crew.

How movies and TV series are shot is still in the hands of the director.

But these Internet companies now not only have to bring in capital to join the group, but also teach you how to take pictures and tell you about big data at every turn.

Do you think you can take pictures of things easily? "

Screenwriter Wang's firepower is also very fierce, and he still uses small fresh meat as the entry point.

But what he really complained about was the capital behind it, accusing these capital of dictating the creative process, which led to the failure of creation.

This is indeed something that many people online criticize.

Sometimes small fresh meat does not mean bad movies, but after small fresh meat joins the group, grabbing scenes, competing for roles, and changing the plot are the reasons for bad movies.

And they do this, of course, for their own traffic, but ultimately because of capital.

It can be said that these two people have hit the mark.

Although it may not sound good to many people, it is definitely what netizens and movie fans want to hear most.

"Luo Quan, do you have anything to say?"

The host put the words into Luo Quan's mouth, and the camera shot over.

"How should I put it? At my age, it's actually a little early for me to dictate the film and television industry."

Luo Quan smiled slightly: "But as an audience, I think there is still a lot to say.

For example, today's film directors seem to like to include some crooked private goods in their works.

There is no problem in educating people, but if you use the wrong method to educate people, then no audience will be willing to buy your account.

Apart from that, my heart for making a movie is not pure enough.

For example, if you are a commercial comedy, you must teach the audience values ​​​​at the end, forcefully stir up tears, and exaggerate family love and various emotions, but you have only forgotten what kind of people your movie's promotional poster has attracted. audience.

If people want to watch a family comedy, you have to say that the core of the comedy is tragedy, deepen the theme, and be artistic.

Then why don't you just make artistic films? You have to come here to sell dog meat on a sheep's head.

What I hate most in my life is this kind of creator who is not pure enough and has a literary disease.

He dislikes the smell of copper, but cannot treat money like dirt. He calls his disgusting behavior as having personality and ideas, but he forgets who his parents are.

There are too many movies like this now, claiming to be comedy, but in the end they always leave the audience dumbfounded. "

After Luo Quan finished speaking, everyone present had wonderful expressions.

Because she said this unintentionally, she didn’t know how many directors and screenwriters AOE had.

Film is a category of art, and those who engage in this field are somewhat literate.

Bringing in private goods and deepening the theme is a very common operation. Few people can simply regard filmmaking as a business like Director Wang Jing.

But in fact, this is the most correct model for commercial movies.

Hollywood's industrial production standards are like this, so the commercial movies produced can sell well around the world, and the literary and artistic films can convey values ​​to the world.

Luo Quan said these words in a different way, and invisibly scolded countless people.

The symposium lasted for half an hour, and Luo Quan continued to chat a lot with other guests.

To be honest, today’s issue is the best of the year.

After the recording, the host kept wiping the sweat from his face with paper, showing how nervous he was. Fortunately, this was not a live broadcast.

Originally, many of Luo Quan's words were edited out of today's program, but after the broadcast in the evening, it was discovered that the Sixth Princess frequently did not cut a single sentence and all was released.

This scene shocked Luo Quan himself.

That night, the Chinese-language film symposium ranked No. 1 on Weibo.

"This is definitely the most aggressive show I've seen this year."

"I'm not merciless with this. Why have you never watched this variety show before?"

"I've always been there, but I didn't invite these people before."

"Haha, Luo Bao still keeps his mouth shut. He never spares anyone."

"One thing is that Luo Bao's movies have almost no fresh talent, because she is the investor herself, and no one can bring money into the group."

"So she has never made a bad movie so far, while others have made one after another."

"Symposium continues. These people really got the idea, but is it really useful?"

"It's most likely useless, but it can make those who are interested in it disgusting for a while."

"Haha, that's true."

………………

There is no doubt that this symposium helped netizens get angry and cursed.

Before this, netizens were scolding him, but now some people in the industry are finally criticizing Xiaoxianrou.

If the industry and outside the industry can have zero tolerance for young people in the future, it will definitely be great news for the entire Chinese film industry.

This symposium is equivalent to the prologue, but whether we can continue singing depends on the efforts of others.

As for Luo Quan, this time she not only sprayed the little fresh meat, but also the screenwriters and directors who fooled the audience.

But perhaps because of her great reputation, so far no one has taken it seriously and jumped out to accuse her of saying something wrong.

Everyone knows that whoever jumps out first will definitely be targeted.

And with Luo Quan's current reputation, there is no possibility of seeking it.

Moreover, what Luo Quan said was definitely recognized by the majority of the audience.

They can accept Yangchun Baixue and Lower Riba People, but they cannot accept that when they are watching Lower Riba People, a few paragraphs of Yangchun Baixue suddenly appear, which affects their entire mood.

I can't bear to complain a few words on the Internet and have people complain about me. I have no aesthetics and just watch mindless popcorn content.

But the problem is, real life is already so tiring, why can’t I make the way of relaxation more mindless and more leisurely?

Not everyone likes to appreciate the so-called sunny spring and white snow.

This is what Luo Quan wanted to say, and it was unanimously recognized by netizens.

Just like the comedy movie Luo Quan started shooting today, "Crazy Racing" does not talk about the feelings of family and country, nor does it have any literary and artistic theme deepening.

It is absurd, funny, and real, and vividly portrays the image of the little people in the city.

And in the end, China's most simple values ​​were implemented, that is, good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds.

As for when the film will be completed, Luo Quan estimated that it should be completed within a month.

It is worth mentioning that this time she plays the leading role herself.

Just like in the previous filming of Rurouni Kenshin, the makeup reduced the appearance.

There is no need to change the gender. It doesn’t matter whether the athletes are male or female. We just need to change the advertising slogans of some aphrodisiacs.

Fortunately, this movie has no emotional scenes and relies entirely on plot and performance, which happens to be what Luo Quan is best at.

She has already found the actors who will play the supporting roles in the movie, and they will completely follow the region and accent in the original work. Even the actor's image, Luo Quan, is trying to be similar to the original one.

It is a little difficult to satisfy this point. Fortunately, China lacks everything except people.

All kinds of actors can be found, so there is no big problem in restoring the original work.

However, because he played the leading role, the protagonist’s accent became a local Yuzhou accent.

There is no other reason than that he speaks smoothly.

In fact, in the previous film "Crazy Stone", the accents of many supporting characters were Yushu dialect.

There is no big difference between this dialect and Mandarin, it doesn’t sound difficult to recognize, and at the same time it has a sense of joy.

Therefore, there is no problem at all if you speak Yuzhou dialect in comedy movies.
