Disaster Artist

Whether it is the idea proposed by Jiang Haowen today or the first script of the "Human Clearance Plan", they all face a contradiction:

On the one hand, they don't want to do a simple plasma film, but they still want to leave some aftertaste in the script, so they need to squeeze more details and branches into the story.

On the other hand, they are worried that the story is too complicated and lose the sense of refreshment and pleasure, so they try to avoid too many branches and keep the film's simple and crude blood breaking.

Such a contradictory problem is definitely not encountered by only one project. To be precise, it should be a problem that every film needs to consider. How to find a balance between art and business?

Lu Qian is no exception.

"Unfriending" and "Raiding" are both commercial-oriented, and the reflection on the artistic level is only a point. So, if you want to raise the theme level, what will Lu Qian do?

The character settings are more complicated, and the plot settings are simpler.

What's the meaning?

To put it simply, put the symbolic features of class, race, gender, age, etc. on the characters, and let these complex identity meanings stay on the characters; then, the plot maintains a simple and neat way of advancing, through justice and Evil opposition to inspire those symbolic meanings that come with the characters.

for example--

"In the second line, we can set up a good friend of our children. This good friend is a girl. She was on her way home from a work-study program. She suffered a small car accident, which delayed her time to go home. Forced to stay outside without any protection."

"As a result, she was violated by a group of people."

"She refused to be the weak, she decided to resist, turned into a goddess of nemesis, followed the men who hurt her all the way, but turned around and came to the door of the protagonist's family, and then started fighting at the door."

"Here, there are two possible settings."

"The first type is that this girl is the girlfriend of the eldest son. Then it is the test of love. We can intersperse the love of two high school students, and then the son decides to open the door and fight side by side with his girlfriend. Love finally overcomes all difficulties and obstacles. "

"Second, the older one in the protagonist's family is the daughter. This girl is her best friend, so this moment is the test of friendship, remember? The girl helps the girl? So the daughter decided to go out, and then her parents also I finally found my conscience.”

"The climax of the third act is the chase between the secret room and the surrounding alleys."

In this way, the discussion of the whole film becomes rich and diverse——

How should the boundaries of good and evil be drawn? Is dying without salvation a sin? Is it a sin to be wise to protect oneself? Someone once said that "kindness is the unique right of the rich", because the poor must survive in the jungle of the jungle, so why are the rich more indifferent and cruel in reality?

In the beginning of human nature, is it good or evil? Against this whole chaotic backdrop, why do some people unleash their inner evil? Some people stick to their hearts? So, those sins that follow the trend, because they will not be held accountable by the law, then they are really not sins? How should human society be different from the natural jungle?

Someone once said that during the war, the darkness of human nature will be magnified or even encouraged, and before and after the war, they are good people who "abide by the rules", but is this really the case? If not, then it proves that the shackles of rules are very important. No wonder people always say that following the rules can lead to real freedom; but if so, how should we view the complexity of human nature?

Are human beings human only because human beings can use tools?

In fact, it is very difficult to present such a complex discussion topic only through movies. I am afraid that it is necessary to write a paper to express the views based on the classics; but Lu Qian did not.

Lu Qian just set up characters one by one, formed collisions through their own social problems, and then guided them through the plot, and left the final thinking to the audience——

If the audience can reflect, then there will be a brainstorm; but if not, it doesn't matter, it's good to stay in the adrenaline rush of the plasma burst, after all, this is the original intention of the film.

This is the correct way to open a commercial film.

However, this is still not the end.

A great movie can and needs a great ending.

"At the end of the film, only three children survive."

With just one simple sentence, Lu Qian instantly made Jiang Haowen's eyes brighter, like a cobra, his expression was a little scary.

"director!"

Jiang Haowen couldn't restrain his excitement and excitement. He looked at the coffee shop left and right, and finally controlled himself, otherwise he would scream directly in the next second.

However, Jiang Haowen leaned forward uncontrollably, rested his hands on the coffee table, stared at Lu Qian with wide eyes, and was startled by the distance, so he could not help but lean back, Force a distance.

"Director! Director, Director, Director!"

"Let's work together, just shoot this script, just this project!"

"You write the script, you choose the entire cast, and if you invest the budget, we are very sincere. Really, you can write a number, and we will discuss it carefully."

"No, no, director, 50 million, um... No, I can directly make the decision within 100 million, even if it exceeds 100 million, it doesn't matter, we can discuss it later."

Crackling, Jiang Haowen continued to talk like this, and every cell in his body was expressing his excitement.

Jiang Haowen likes movies. He has watched many, many movies, and he is always looking for movies that suit his appetite. He has always been very happy working in Damen Films. The biggest regret is that he missed "unfriending", not because of himself. I don't like it, precisely because I like it but I can't catch it, which is embarrassing.

Today's meeting~www.novelmt.com~ Jiang Haowen once again proved his idea:

Lu Qian, see you late.

In a short ten-minute conversation, Lu Qian's inspiration and creativity, and his control of the plot and characters, can easily convince people.

More importantly, Jiang Haowen knew that Lu Qian's real excellence was the director's sense of the picture. He was always able to find the best way to present the story and characters. This was the most valuable part——

For a script like "Raid", if you change the director, you may simply and rudely "fight" to the end. It looks good, but it still lacks some flavor. However, under Lu Qian's lens, the sense of immersion and substitution is wonderful. In the end, it can rise to the sigh of fate, and the aftertaste is endless.

Jiang Haowen really doesn't want to miss the opportunity to cooperate with Lu Qian again.

Looking at Jiang Haowen, who was so urgent that he lost his temper, Lu Qian laughed lightly, "Manager Jiang, where is there such a talk about cooperation negotiation, without waiting for further discussion, just show all your cards, and you will Aren't you worried about my lion's mouth?"
