There are some very talented directors who have their own artistic style when shooting. But Bo Yan is different. Although he hopes to shoot more artistically, the company is currently in the start-up stage and needs money.
There are so many fantastic ideas in his head that he can¡¯t take pictures at this time. The best thing is to find a better script, shoot according to this script, and tell the story smoothly and eloquently.
Ideology, artistry, and whether it can be passed down through the ages are all very important. But at this moment, bread is more important. If he makes a film exactly according to the ideas in his mind, the public may not be able to accept it. Even if he wins an award in the end but loses money at the box office, the company will also lose money.
But he is definitely not willing to just make a "documentary" that only pictures cats and tigers. The original work of "Sunrise" is actually a bit depressing, with a heroine who is irreversible and corrupt, a society that is decadent and irredeemable, some people who should not have died miserably, people with conscience have no strength to change, and those without conscience are still doing it. The last hurray.
This kind of story is not as bloody as "Thunderstorm", nor as crazy as "The Wilderness". It's great to make a literary film, but if you want to make it closer to a commercial film, you can only slightly modify the character design, and some conflicts need to be made more intense. Especially if it is released on Valentine's Day, it must be a song that celebrates feelings.
In addition to making certain modifications to the character of the protagonist, he also used camera movements, using light and shade, color, flowers, and clothing to create different moods of the protagonist, ranging from intense, lazy, desperate, and sarcastic. He never tells the time on TV. Time is only told by the sound of bells, the broadcast on the radio, and the alternation of light and shadow. Don¡¯t write any explanatory stuff at all, and use lens language to present it.
Audiences who watch it for the first time may not be aware of these details, but they can subtly feel that time is advancing and the protagonist's mood is changing.
However, most of the people sitting there were senior industry insiders, journalists with savvy perspectives, and some movie enthusiasts. Their grasp of camera movement, light and shade, color, light and shadow should be better than the average audience. But even without realizing these techniques, the movie still tells an easy-to-understand story in a subtle way.
He stood on the stage and asked everyone to ask questions: "If you have any questions, you can express your opinions."
As soon as he finished speaking, he paused again and smiled: "I know that many of the movie theaters have invited you to come, not to let you give your opinions. It is to let you say nice things, and go back and write a few better ones. comments to attract the audience to watch. Even if the filming is terrible, I will try my best to let everyone praise me. In fact, standing here, I roughly know what everyone will say. Whether you have talent and ideas, you will know it as soon as you watch the movie . This is my first time filming, so I don¡¯t want anything too fancy. I just want the story to be told in a logical and logical manner. For the rest, please give me your opinions.¡±
At the scene, there was a slight pause for several seconds, and then applause broke out.
How can I put it this way, whether something is good-looking or not, the audience has eyes and can see it clearly. It's easy to see how much thought the director put into it, whether it was a scam or a carefully shot, and how the actors are.
This is a very complete work. The script is based on Mr. Cao¡¯s original work. The characters have been changed but not significantly. The tone is still the same. The story is also a good one, unlike some great directors who want to play stream of consciousness and tell you from the very beginning that they are telling you a story, and details can flow from the story.
When I first watched it, it was an emotional tragedy of meeting again after a long separation, things changing, people changing, and life experiences ups and downs. But when I think about it again after watching it, I can feel the taste of any scene in it. Especially with the addition of easter eggs, the heroine who was originally destined to die seemed to have the possibility of surviving the desperate situation.
After Bo Yan said those words, the following discussion became more intense. For example, someone asked him: "Why do you want to change the character?"
Although he also admitted that after changing the relationship between the male and female protagonists to be more profound and pure, the weight of love was indeed heavier and more eye-catching. When the two separated in the end, it was even more eye-catching.
Bo Yan replied: "It's just a bit of artistic creation. If you copy the original book word for word, it will be no different from watching a drama."
Some people criticize him for not being very thoughtful. Although there is an original plot, it is all about love, which seems low-key. Although the camerawork is innovative, the whole film has no particularly impressive ideas. In other words, those thoughts are all Cao Yu's and those in the original book, not his.
Bo Yanxiao: "I definitely can't compare with Mr. Cao. I admit that I increased the love scenes and made some modifications for commercial reasons. I hope not to take away the original tone."
Some people pointed out some inappropriate aspects of the rhythm in his story. Although he made some modifications, the previousThe hour-long rhythm is a bit lengthy, after all, it is adapted from a play.
Bo Yan nodded humbly: "That's true. I also need to strengthen my sense of rhythm here."
He was really laying the groundwork in the early stage. In the first thirty minutes, he explained the backgrounds of all the characters and the origin of the story. After thirty minutes, everyone gathered in one place, and then gradually increased the explosive points. In the last half hour, all the major characters' stories were revealed. Destiny reaches its climax. It was indeed a little slow in the early stages.
There are also some sensitive film critics who have noticed the shots, light, shadow and color. The simplest and easiest thing to find is that the heroine is in different moods, and the flowers placed in the house and the clothes she wears are different.
Bo Yan also nodded honestly: "When the original writing was written, some plots could not be intuitively presented except for dialogue. Many people's moods and situations could not be intuitively presented. I asked the heroine to put on different clothes to express her mood. But now it seems - ¡ªIt¡¯s a little bit superfluous.¡±
Bo Yan said it was "superfluous" because Xia Siyu's performance was really good.
In the trailer released a few days ago, there was a part of Xia Siyu wearing a cheongsam, but it basically didn't match the plot. There were only one or two simple shots. Although it was stunning enough, when combined with the plot, it just looked like - coming to life. Same.
She lived in that old house very obediently. The supplies, furnishings, clothes, and her whole breathing seemed to be integrated with the old building.
She is like a person living in that era, brilliant, fresh, and decadent.
Like Zhang Ailing said, a gorgeous robe is covered with lice.
¡°At first, the film critics didn¡¯t comment on Xia Siyu because Bo Yan didn¡¯t let them praise it, but just asked them to give more opinions. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
