Disaster Artist

After just a short phone call, Ji Xu and Blue Whale Pictures were busy at high speed, so what about Lu Qian?

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

Lu Qian's brain was running at a high speed, he took out the tablet he carried with him and started typing, his busy fingertips were dancing gracefully.

So, is Lu Qian writing the script?

"Human Removal Plan", or "Raid 2"? Or is it a "quick chase"?

Not all!

If someone reads the first line of words on the tablet screen at this time, there will be question marks all over their heads, "tourist"? Where did this project come from?

The script that Lu Qian is writing is a movie project he is preparing to shoot, and his inspiration is like a spring——

From "unfriend" to "raid", including the "human removal plan" just discussed with Jiang Haowen, although the types are different, there is a same element throughout, horror.

"Unfriending" comes from the unknown, "Raid" comes from threats, and "Human Removal Plan" comes from fear. The thriller from different emotions injects a cold tone into the film, and then makes the blood through the rupture and death of the dead. The adrenaline kicks in with the shock, creating an unforgettable big-screen viewing experience.

Unintendedly, Lu Qian's directorial career took off like this.

Does Lu Qian want to try other styles?

Of course.

Comedy, romance, sci-fi, adventure, plot... and so on, different types of movies always have different colors, Lu Qian also wants to test to see what kind of works he can present, maybe he will also shoot A bad movie that hit the street, but maybe he will also explore more possibilities in the truth of his directing career.

But now, Lu Qian has indeed become more interested in thriller movies——

Especially in the process of filming "The Raid", Lu Qian had a new experience in creating the atmosphere that was presented outside, and he couldn't help but start to think, if he gave up the straightforward presentation, how should he show the psychological horror?

It's not a horror-type thriller like "Hidden", "Spirit", and "The Island", but a non-horror-type psychological exploration like "Killing", "Hunger", and "Lobster".

To put it simply, it is very interesting to simply show the struggle and conflict at the psychological level of human beings without the intervention of powerful forces such as split personality, multiple personalities, **** killings, etc.

Previously, Lu Qian, Ji Xu, Su Ziyi, and Bai Cheng mentioned their thoughts when they chatted. They all thought that Lu Qian was very suitable for shooting such cool-toned films, and created an invisible sense of oppression through light and shadow and scheduling. , may be able to give the film a different vitality.

Then, Bai Cheng's unintentional words sparked a storm of inspiration for them.

"A Qian, take a good shot, maybe we can go to the film festival and walk the red carpet."

It was originally just a joke, but it made Ji Xu and Su Ziyi very excited.

Objectively speaking, how can a film company gain a firm foothold in the industry?

The answer is profit.

Just like Damen Pictures, as long as it keeps making money, it can gain a firm foothold in the industry and even become the top of the pyramid, but how much time did Damen Pictures spend? It took a full fifteen years before and after, and the breakthrough was achieved after a series of tens of billions of box office works appeared.

The difficulty is evident.

So, is there any other way?

The answer is, awards.

From film festivals to awards ceremonies, the glory and halo that a film recognized by authoritative awards can bring is a more shocking industry status than the box office figures; and if a company can continue to output award-winning films, then naturally A cohesive and powerful network of people can be formed, and value can be created continuously.

Of course, how to switch the bridge from awards to fame to profit is another complex system. A simple understanding is "brand image".

At present, five of the seven major film companies in Lanchuan have an independent production department, which is dedicated to exporting art films. They not only travel around the world to acquire the distribution rights of excellent works, but also actively participate in film festivals and film festivals. above the awards ceremony.

For Blue Whale Films, the profits from the two films "Unfriending" and "Raid" are indeed considerable. As industry insiders said, this is enough for them to squander for a while, and it also allows Lu Qianlan Lanchuan to gain a firm foothold. , but in the eyes of industry insiders, Lu Qian and Blue Whale Pictures are upstarts——

Lack of foundation.

However, such a thing is unavoidable. The only thing Blue Whale Pictures can do is to accumulate step by step slowly, proving that it is not a flashing star.

But if you want to settle down as soon as possible, the best way is film festivals and award seasons. When Blue Whale Pictures can produce box-office movies and award-winning movies, they will also have their own fame. .

The same is true for Lu Qian.

However, Lu Qian himself has no intentional idea, because film creation is not a propositional composition. If he creates a work according to the standards of the awards season, then the work itself will lose its soul and life. Maybe he can still shoot a good work. , but not as vivid as Unfriend and Raid.

Of course, Lu Qian wouldn't avoid it deliberately, he just wanted to go with the flow and let inspiration guide him to complete his creation.

Lu Qian is very interested in psychological thriller movies. Whether it can be favored by film festivals and awards season is another matter.

Today, when Lu Qian and Jiang Haowen were discussing the "Human Removal Plan", another thought popped into their minds——

In the script conceived by Lu Qian, the family of four had a disagreement on whether to save the homeless, directly projecting the hypocrisy of the middle class, but what if such disagreement was presented in a different form?

Lu Qian thought of a Swedish movie "The Tourist".

The film tells the story of a middle-class Swedish family who went to the Alps for a ski vacation~www.novelmt.com~ everything was very beautiful and very happy, but when they were eating, they encountered an avalanche.

Under the crisis, tourists fled everywhere, and wives kept calling their husbands' names, trying to protect their children, but unexpectedly, the husbands panicked and only ran for their own lives, abandoning their wives and children.

Then, the avalanche passed, they all survived, and the resort returned to peace, but the cracks between husband and wife never healed; and how should husbands re-establish "father's majesty" in front of their children ?

Undoubtedly, this is a story with a cold and humorous nature, which delicately and sharply presents the complexities of human nature in front of a middle-class family. It is not necessary to cruelly tear off the mask of hypocrisy to feel the unfathomable depth of human nature. And subtly mocked the middle class.

Compared with the more straightforward and direct impact of the "Human Purge Project" on the middle class, the contradictions presented by "Tourists" have the same effect but show a completely different development context.
