Chapter 747 The scene of mental illness

In fact, if there is no scene in the mental hospital, but only the performance of Ge You and Ying Da in the mental hospital, then this [Big Shot] is also a pretty good movie at this time, but it is far from a classic. Just one step away.

If a good movie is rated 99 points, then [Big Shot] can still be rated 99 points even without the scene of the business dinner in a mental hospital.

But a classic movie is 100%, even if you watch it, it is just one point short of it, but no matter what it is, it is not called a classic.

There are two types of movies that can be called classics. One is a pioneering film, such as the first mainland Chinese New Year film [Party A and Party B]. Its status as a pioneering film is unquestionable. Studying the history of Chinese films It's definitely impossible to avoid this movie.

Of course, there are a lot of buzzwords in this drama, such as "The landlord has no food left over" and "I won't even say anything if I kill him", etc. These are all classic elements.

But the remaining "See you or part" and "No play, no more", although they may be more perfect in art than "Party A and Party B", their value is not as great as "Party A and Party B". This is the issue of the status of a pioneering work.

Feng Xiaogang did not make any breakthroughs when filming the next two New Year films, but they just continued the humorous style of "Party A and Party B". Therefore, the latter two cannot be called classics. Another thing that can be called a classic is that it breaks through the limitations of the pioneering work.

For example, the [Batman] series of movies [Batman Begins] is a movie that surpasses the previous Batman series.

Therefore, this is a classic Batman movie. And "Big Shot" is also a movie like this. Feng Xiaogang's sincere work after the failure of "Sigh" still has the usual small-town humor and ridicule of life.

It also has a sense of black humor and irony.

Therefore, this is a classic work by Feng Xiaogang. In the history of Chinese films, it is a powerful work that can compete with "Party A and Party B".

But now this film only scored 99 points. Feng Xiaogang himself felt that this film was missing something. When Ye Ming said that, he immediately understood.

At this moment, Ye Ming nodded and said: "It's almost the same. It lacks a bit of irony and is not sharp enough. To be honest, Teacher Ge is a well-liked person. It is impossible for him to play a role with that kind of irony.

In fact, after most Chinese audiences saw Teacher Ge, even if he played a bad guy, they still viewed it as a comedy. Director Feng and Teacher Ge wouldn't object to this, right? "

Of course, the two of them have nothing to say about this issue. In fact, even Ge You himself feels this way. His role has almost been fixed.

For example, when I later acted as a liar in "Let the Bullets Fly", I felt ridiculous no matter how I looked at it. Ge You struggled helplessly, but still said: "If I want to satirize others, the audience will have to watch it. This is indeed more difficult."

If you come to Ye Ming, it will naturally be to solve the problem.

No one expected that Ye Ming would be able to see where this problem lies and ask such a question to the point.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Ye, tell me how we should modify this matter, but it is about to be released. If you want to make major modifications, it is simply impossible. It’s too late.”

This is an issue that Wang Zhongjun is considering. As the boss, what he wants is that once the screening date is set, it cannot be changed casually. Otherwise, Huayi Brothers will lose money at this time. According to the contract, it cannot be If it is released on time, the Huayi Brothers will indeed pay a certain amount of compensation. The boss has to consider this issue.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang thought for a while and said: "Actually, the most critical issue is the actor's schedule. Yingda has nothing to do with it. My friend can find him when the time comes. But Miss Guan Zhilin is a little bit bad. It’s done. Who knows if she has a schedule? Even if she has a schedule, she has already fulfilled the contract. Therefore, if she says she doesn’t want to come, there is nothing we can do. In fact, an actor’s schedule is The question is the key.”

After all, the crew has been disbanded. Therefore, there will be many problems in reshooting at this time. As the director, Feng Xiaogang naturally considers the actors' schedule. At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "

This issue will not involve other actors, so there is no need to ask Guan Zhilin Yingda and others. My idea is to add a scene in the mental hospital. I can find other actors to guest star. We have a lot of actors in Brilliant Film and Television. Now these people are quite famous. They just don’t have any schedules. I can put them in Pull them all over. "

This matter is relatively easy to solve. After hearing Ye Ming's solution, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and they immediately saw that a problem like this was already a ray of hope.

Wang Zhongjun is also the boss himself, so when it comes to using actors, he naturally prefers actors from his own company.

After all, it is said that for movies invested by Huayi Brothers, actors from their own company will naturally be given priority.

Wang Zhongjun was very natural and said without any hesitation: "There are still many actors from Huayi Brothers on this issue. If I use actors from your company, I'm afraid the people below will have opinions."

After all, Wang Zhongjun would not do such a thing by rejecting Ye Ming directly. He invited him to solve the problem himself. There was just a little hope of solving this problem, which directly offended Ye Ming. Wang Zhongjun was not such an idiot.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Zhongjun found a suitable reason to reject Ye Ming, and the following actors naturally wanted to be in the play directed by Feng Xiaogang.

Even if it's just a cameo role. Feng Xiaogang didn't think that much, but he was thinking about this drama.

At that moment, Feng Xiaogang thought for a while and then said reluctantly: "Ye Ming, I can understand the problem you mentioned. There is no problem in adding a scene, but this play has become a whole. I think If a scene is to be added suddenly, then this matter is somewhat difficult to explain. I can't say how to solve such a problem so that the audience will not feel this scene when watching the whole movie. The scenes that were added were rather abrupt and were added temporarily. If it ruins the feeling of the entire movie and makes it appear that it was added temporarily, then I think it would be better not to add it at all."

This is a relatively professional issue. Wang Zhongjun is relatively layman, but he can tell that at this time, Feng Xiaogang is hesitant about adding drama or not.

Therefore, Wang Zhongjun immediately said: "No, why don't you solve the problem if you see it? Movies should always be the best."

Feng Xiaogang immediately said very wrongly: "A movie, especially a good movie, must have its own style on such an issue. If you add a paragraph temporarily, it may suddenly destroy the film." It's a matter of style. Unless the added scene can be well integrated into the whole movie. Ye Zi, how about you do it? Only with your acting skills can you add this scene suddenly without any trace. The scenes are performed in exactly the same style as the entire movie.

After all, you have seen the entire movie, and you also know Uncle Ge’s style relatively well. I think there is no problem with this. Whatever you want to add, I will never interfere."

Ge You is an international movie king. Although he doesn't like to show off, his acting skills are unquestionable. There are only a handful of actors in China who can compare with Ge You. And Ye Ming happens to be one of these few.

Feng Xiaogang believes that only a movie star of Ye Ming's level can truly integrate this temporarily added scene with the style of the entire movie.

As a friend, Ye Ming also wanted to help, but he thought for a while and said: "It's not easy for me to help with this matter. Rules are rules, and there are some rules that I can't help but follow."

The entertainment industry naturally has its own rules. After all, this movie is the work of Feng Xiaogang. If Ye Ming interferes, it will break the rules. Even if they are good friends, doing this is relatively dangerous.

Feng Xiaogang said without caring at all: "What does this mean? You are overthinking it. It's just adding a scene, and it's not asking you to change the movie. Master Shuo will sometimes modify my script. This is nothing." The big deal is, I'll teach you a play. But we need to complete it as soon as possible, we don't have much time."

Feng Xiaogang's words came to this point. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming said without hesitation: "That's it, I agree to this. Let's start filming again tomorrow. As for the issue of actors, Mr. Wang will arrange it himself." That’s fine, just find a few people playing mental illness, there’s no technical content in this.”

When it comes to playing a role, what is the easiest thing to play, and that is mental illness? It doesn’t matter how you play a mentally ill person, and the audience won’t say that you don’t act like it.

It is an unreasonable problem for a person to compete with a mentally ill person. As for this scene, that is to say, the real estate scene is the most classic scene.

Others are like chicken ribs, tasteless and a pity to throw away. (To be continued)
