Chapter 84 Stupid Thief
In the rapid development of the Chinese film market, it is very likely that we will encounter various problems.
There are many bad movies, and the actors are overpaid...
But we must also see that over the years, we have emerged a number of good movies with both reputation and box office success.
Compared to before, it is still improving.
Most obviously, we can see the sincerity of some directors, and they are really working hard!
In fact, it is said that domestic movies are rampant, so what about Hollywood? It produces more than a thousand movies every year, and it is also full of bad movies.
Of course, the total number of excellent movies exceeds ours, so we must admit this.
All countries in the world are the same. The film market is 28 rules. It doesn’t matter how bad movies are. We just need to keep our sanity and not watch them!
Even if there are so many bad movies, even if there is a little persistence, Chinese film and television will have strong roots from it.
Each of us is not a medicine god. We cannot cure the world, but it is always good to change a little.
When one day, word of mouth is the most important factor in whether a movie can make a big hit, I believe that Chinese directors will still try to eliminate good movies!
Give Chinese movies some time and believe that the future will get better and better.
...
Shen Hui and Guo Ailun arrived in the third week of filming of "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven".
After all, they are the leading actors of Mahua, and they need them in many performances, dramas and sketches.
After thinking about it, it is better for them to be the same.
And it's not expensive!
In this drama, the actors' pay was less than 3 million yuan. Zhang Shan received 800,000 yuan, Guo Ailun 200,000 yuan, and Shen Hui 500,000 yuan...
"Charlotte" has not been released yet. Shen Hui and Guo Ailun have almost zero achievements in film. No, the former participated in "The Heart Blooming"...
Only signed for 18 days...
Therefore, their scenes need to be filmed quickly.
Arriving at the crew, Bai Xiaofei adjusted all the subsequent shooting plans in the afternoon, and cooperated with Shen Hui and Guo Ailun in the following time.
These two people play a pair of stupid thieves.
In fact, the image of a stupid thief is a very common funny method on the big screen.
There are such people in many comedy works.
According to the common methods, it is generally divided into three categories of stupid thieves. The first type is that they appear very coldly and have their own aura. They say "I'm just hanging" on their faces. Such people are often handsome for only three seconds;
The second type is that the boss and his younger brother. "Crazy Stone" is a typical example, and his ability cannot support his ambitions;
The third type is some fixed partners, such as couples, brothers, etc. Such pairs often quarrel over trivial matters in life when performing tasks.
Very interesting!
This pair of stupid thieves in "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven" is a very typical first example.
Suit, sunglasses, black leather shoes, so handsome!
But don’t let them speak, as they say it will be a joke!
For example, the scenes that are being filmed now are the opening of "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven".
Well, the opening credits are in a strip club…
It is really not easy to find such a place in the country. After all, we are all bathed in the sunshine of socialism...
Huang Liang is really connected. With his recommendation, the crew found an extremely hidden professional club. All the girls in it were able to sing and dance. He gave Bai Xiaofei a piece of "Gee" on the spot. The movements were neat and uniform, so we moved our director almost couldn't control it...
"Just use this song, contact the copyright, just say it is a film and television episode..."
Old drivers can move like this, let alone ordinary audiences!
So, with the young ladies singing and dancing, Chen Hui and Guo Ailun appeared on the monitor.
Chen Hui spoke first: "…Haha, I watched a joke online, it's quite funny, I'll read it to you."
"Is that so? Then tell me!"
Guo Ailun didn't care, and his attention was always on his big white legs not far away.
"A man sent a WeChat message to the woman and said, 'Hello, Miss, can you talk about some sensitive topics?' Guess how that girl replied?"
"…have no idea."
"Haha, that woman's reply: What do you think of the current situation in Taiwan! Haha..."
Guo Ailun watched coldly, and seemed to have no laughing point at all.
"...Isn't it funny? The situation in Taiwan!"
"Is the situation in Taiwan very sensitive? I tell you, the Taiwan issue is just one sentence: Unification is necessary, it is in line with the historical development process, and it is in line with the common interests of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. China cannot be missed at all!"
After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Hui said: "...You are a Thai Chinese who is in the underworld who is very ungrateful!"
"Click!"
Bai Xiaofei stood up from behind the monitor with satisfaction.
"No, Brother Hui, the pause just now is very good!"
"Prepare, let's make a move!"
After filming the club scene, the next scene was when he hit a bad boy...
"Director, was that part of the matter too sensitive?"
Chen Hui was a little worried.
"…What's wrong with this? We haven't broken the law..."
"I mean, in this way, our drama can only be released in the mainland, and it is difficult to be released in Taiwan!"
"…I wasn't ready to be released on our treasure island at all."
In fact, the current mainland film market is enough to support the profit and loss of a movie, and there is no need to watch the stands. Xiangjiang's face...
...
Bai Xiaofei made great changes to the original story, especially the conversation between this stupid thief.
Comedy is an art at this moment. To put it simply, Chaplin's funny points should not be laughed at when it comes to the present.
There is also regionality: many popular jokes abroad will become unhappy in China...
But one common way is to create a sense of dislocation!
Mr. Hou Baolin has summarized: A person who can laugh basically comes from some kind of misalignment contrast.
The most brainless funny thing is of course the individual's behavior.
Therefore, in the early years, the protagonists kept making fools and making everyone laugh. Why do traditional drama clowns draw ugly white noses and speak in exaggerated tone? Because the person who makes ugly is the misplaced person himself, he will be considered stupid and funny, and so funny.
A more advanced funny thing is a satirical attack on others; a funny guy takes advantage of the supporting actor and makes the supporting actor useless, which is absurd; awkwardness of the supporting actor being anxious but unable to fight back; this is also a kind of funny.
A higher level of funnyness is self-deprecating.
High-level comedy is to make self-deprecating from the perspective of weakness, and then desacrificing everything that is strong to create contrast.
If this is done well, the audience's perspective will be seen from the subject of the tragedy and feel the feeling of tears in laughter.
Therefore, most comedy masters start from the perspective of "I am funny" to make everyone empathize with it and then mock the solemn things.
For example, there is a line that everyone knows: "I always thought that only I can betray the revolution. I didn't expect that you, Zhu Shimao, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, also betray the revolution!?"
