Chapter 93 Comedy and Three Views
"Love Saint" is a comedy movie. When you look at its other name, you will know what this drama tells - "The Battle of the Dead"
The plot is very simple, it is the hero's midlife crisis, living a marriage life without passion and enthusiasm all day long, meeting a woman who made him fall in love with at first sight, and then with the help of his best friends, he creates a series of intensive laughs.
It's a bit similar to the meaning of Hollywood's "Ranny Gang" and "Apatow Party".
The biggest problem with this movie is that it is a bit too "vulgar" and has a strong fishy smell. Although there is no point in it, the screen is full of big beds, hormones, sperm, sexual suggestion, and ambiguity. It is not an exaggeration to say that the three views are not correct.
Compared with the foreign film "American Beauty", which also describes the crisis of middle-aged men, the arrival of beautiful classmates also illuminates the male protagonist's life. However, the film not only aims the camera at the male protagonist's fantasy, but also accurately portrays the wife's loss of self-destruction caused by this.
On the other hand, in "Love Saint", the husband is only observing the mental depression of "infidelity" and ignores the practice of causing harm to his wife. It is no wonder that the female compatriots can never find a reason to like it.
Moreover, to be honest, all the female characters in "Love Saint" are very failed. Whether it is Youyou, who is a goddess symbol, or a funny female boss, or a wife who has nothing to do with sex, they only serve the story development and laughs of the movie. They have no three-dimensionality and lack their own personality.
Therefore, the film team that is still dominant in women so far will definitely yell at "incorrect views" and "straight male cancer".
Moreover, this critical business voice is much more fierce than "Charlotte".
After all, "Charlotte" is an adaptation of a drama, and its lines are far more capable than "Love Saint".
But to be honest, comedy should not be so demanding.
What do you have to say about the three views? "Horror Live" and "Horror Cruise" include "Fighting Club". Which of these three movies is a work with a very positive view?
But the three works have high ratings, and the professional ratings and audience ratings are very high.
I didn't mention "The Woman in the Deep Mountains" because this movie forced the crime of trafficking in people. This is no longer a three-view, but a morality!
Let’s talk about “Love Saint”, people clearly tell you that this is an absurd comedy about ‘infidelity’. You also have to let it face social problems directly, which is too demanding!
What's more, domestic films were collectively in 2o16.
At that time, when "The Love Saint" was released, it caught up with the peerless movie "The Ferryman". The schedule was appropriate, and without comparison, there was no distinction between high and low.
So it is no surprise that this small-cost comedy movie with an investment of less than 400,000 yuan ended up with a box office of 698 million yuan.
Shen Lin didn't want to direct this drama at the beginning, and it was not very consistent with his usual style.
But there is no way, the timeline of rebirth is getting closer and closer, and there are really few movies that can barely be called good for him to choose.
Besides, he didn't say that he would definitely be the director. During the filming, he could hand over the burden to Song Xiaofei!
In comparison, although female audiences do not like "Love Saint", its reputation is still above a bunch of domestic movies in 2016.
In fact, he wanted to film "Train to Busan" and "Crying". Konima, this thing cannot be localized at all...
...
Overall, the filming of "Love Saint" was going well.
Except for Lao Xue who was not born professionally, the others are pretty good.
But the role played by Lao Xue is originally a sloppy subordinate, which is very consistent with his true nature!
"No, Sister Tang Wei, you feel a little arrogant. After all, you are his boss..."
The plot goes on when Marilyn, played by Tang Wei, is released with a pigeon and then retaliated in shame and anger in the parking lot.
Everything went smoothly, with positioning, shape, and expressions.
Apart from the last shot, when he broke the fork into a contempt shape, the eyes left behind made Chen Lin a little unsatisfied.
Too cold, without that kind of arrogant feeling.
"…Okay, director, I'll try again."
Tang Wei thought about it and tried the drama again.
Chen Lin signaled Song Xiaofei to sit behind the monitor. The two of them looked roughly, nodded at each other, and signaled that they could start shooting.
Half an hour later, the transition, office plot, and simple rehearsal were passed again.
"Oh! It's still comfortable to work with professional actors!"
Chen Lin looked at the actors next to him with some emotion. Whether it was Qiao Shan, Nie Yuan or Xiao Shenyang, they were all skilled actors.
"By the way, Deng Chao will come tomorrow, so we will focus on his scenes first."
"OK."
Song Xiaofei nodded.
In fact, after the filming, Chen Lin was more like a producer than a director, and Song Xiaofei was more of a filming mission.
"According to this progress, we will almost finish the filming in two months at most. At that time, we will deal with it later, and your opinions will be the main focus."
"This is not very good, Director Shen..."
"It's okay, I may be where I will then!"
Chen Lin waved his hand, not minding at all.
Yes, the awards season has begun. "Carol" is so high-quality. I'm sorry for Gong Li and Zhao Liying's dedicated performances if I don't strive for a wave of best foreign language films.
"But you must pay attention to the duration, with a maximum of 110 minutes. If there are jokes that are not easy to show, you can put them in the ending highlights."
"Finishing tidbits?"
"Well, let's make a few jokes, such as Liu Lei played by Xiao Shen Yang. He is a character that does not fit the positioning of a good person. We can make a scene in the end where he asked him to feed dog food alone, indicating that he was abandoned by his girlfriend..."
"Yes, we can also put some fun jokes in the behind-the-scenes."
Song Xiaofei himself is very talented, and Chen Lin immediately reminded him after saying something.
"Director, how will I act later?"
Chen Lin was discussing the follow-up shooting with Song Xiaofei, and Tong Liya, wearing a white shirt, walked over.
"I'll go there first."
Song Xiaofei left very 'consciously'.
As long as you have eyes, you can tell that the relationship between Tong Liya and Chen Lin is not very normal.
It shouldn't be too normal for such things to happen in a crew.
To put it bluntly, if the entertainment industry is a big show, then the crew is definitely the Asura who is most hidden under the show.
The most popular locations such as scandals, discords, and unspoken rules are the crew.
Therefore, it is not a big deal to have an ambiguous relationship between the director and the actress, and I have long been accustomed to it!
“…You wear so little, aren’t you cold?”
Chen Lin was talking while carefully looking up at the surroundings. The staff and actors were all far away, and they were busy with their own affairs in a tacit understanding.
“The texture of this shirt is very good, look…”
I see your sister!
"Or, you touch it..."
"Well, Xiaofei, I'll go back first. You'll be responsible for today's shooting."
Are these sisters going crazy?
