Disaster Artist

Already bought the adaptation rights last year?

This also means that Dong Ruixian has been looking around for a long time, and Lu Qian is definitely not her first choice. After all, "Unfriending" was just released at this time last year——

Of course, Lu Qian is not surprised by this. To be precise, even now, it is still a small accident that Dong Ruixian has locked herself as a director, because for a whole year, Dong Ruixian should also be transferred in major film companies. Have a lap, but still haven't found a suitable partner?

Is it because the adaptation of "Gone Lover" is too difficult? Or is it because the subject matter of the story is so ferocious that no company dares to take over?

In addition, what is the position of the streamer film industry, has Dong Ruixian looked for them? Did they know that Dong Ruixian extended an olive branch to Lu Qian?

At the same time, this also means that the divorce between Dong Ruixian and Ma Jiangsheng may not be a "peaceful breakup" that is publicized to the public, otherwise Dong Ruixian would not have felt a lot about the "disappeared lover" and bought the adaptation rights at the first time.

Obviously, Dong Ruixian saw too much of herself in the story, and even before she was on the bestseller list, she couldn't wait to try to adapt it.

So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

To be precise, this can be a good thing, because Dong Ruixian's understanding of the story must have a deeper and more vivid personal experience; but it can also be a bad thing, because this kind of empathy may become a kind of interference, making Dong Ruixian use her emotions and destroy it. Production process.

In the short period of Dong Ruixian's three words, Lu Qian's mind was already full of thoughts, and the lightning and flint circled the earth for two weeks.

Dong Ruixian naturally had no way of knowing Lu Qian's thoughts, but she could taste the thoughts from Lu Qian's faintly flashing eyes——

Not at all like a twenty-two-year-old young director.

However, if you think about it, it is precisely because of this that Lu Qian was able to shoot such absurd, witty and sharp works as "tourists".

Dong Ruixian knew that Lu Qian was thinking. Logically speaking, with Dong Ruixian's position in the industry and Lu Qian's qualifications in the industry, at this moment, even if Lu Qian was not flattered, he should have a positive attitude. An opportunity to open up the industry.

However, Lu Qian did not.

Dong Ruixian thought that she would be angry, so she condescended to come to the Windy City to stand by and wait for the rabbits. Is this what she received?

But in fact, she didn't.

Instead, because of Lu Qian's calmness and calmness, Dong Ruixian further strengthened her thoughts:

Perhaps, Lu Qian is the most suitable candidate.

Indeed, for a whole year, Ruixian Dong has visited many people, from producers to directors to film companies, she hopes to try it out, because she loves stories and because she attaches great importance to stories, She sincerely hopes to make a good work.

It's a pity that no suitable candidate has been found. "The Disappearing Lover" is a very special and very dark story——

The truth is, not the husband murdered the wife, but the wife framed the husband.

The husband has been idle at home doing nothing to eat rice, the wife is not concerned about taking on the livelihood of the entire family, but watching her husband sink into decadence, the light on him disappears little by little, what they keep in each other's memory, all They are the most embarrassed, desolate, and ugliest appearances of each other.

Then, the husband cheated.

Their marriage has gradually evolved into an empty shell of lies and deceit, pulling each other and drowning together.

Therefore, the wife's choice was not to go through legal procedures for divorce, but to create her own "disappearance" and "death", frame her husband, use such a thunderous way to wake up her husband, and punish her, and finally, it evolved into a marriage The **** turmoil in it kills each other.

It is no exaggeration to say that such a deviant and shocking story, adapted into a movie is full of thorns, and it may become a **** drama if you are not careful. It not only puts forward extremely high requirements on the director's control, but also requires the director to analyze human nature. , The ability to carve characters also puts forward strict requirements.

In the current Lanchuan, it is not that there are no film companies willing to cooperate with Dong Ruixian to develop this project, including Lion Films and Streamer Films, all showing interest; but the problem is that they all hope to make the story more dramatic Even more bloody, working hard in the direction of commercial movies.

To put it simply, they have no interest in analyzing marriage, they just want to entertain to death.

On the other hand, Dong Ruixian has also looked for some producers and directors, and their viewpoints are varied and varied, giving the whole story the possibility of cutting in from different angles, at least bolder and more open than film companies.

But there is a problem:

The original book was completed by a female writer, and the main point of view of the story is also the heroine. Naturally, the subtle description of the situation of women in the whole film is also an important part——

"Disappearing Lover" does not always emphasize the "weak" status of women, but shows the different ways men and women deal with the same predicament. From this perspective, it shows the different aspects of marriage.

However, at present, the top producers and top directors in the entire film industry are still dominated by men, so when they examine the story, they will inevitably defend the male, which also changes the tone of the film; or, they cannot fully agree with the story. The choice of his wife also makes her more hopeful to portray her as a dark image of a "femme beauty", which deviates from the original intention of the original work.

In the original work, crime and suspense are the way to tell the story, and the real essence is human nature and marriage.

It is precisely because of this that Dong Ruixian has a sense of powerlessness. Even though she is full of confidence in the "disappeared lover", she cannot find a suitable partner, and everything is impossible to talk about.

For a time~www.novelmt.com~ Dong Ruixian considered whether she should find a female director to cooperate with, but the problem is that there are not many female directors who can have such control in such a special and dark story. Dong Ruixian has met a few times. A female director, it turns out that their delicacy and softness make the story lingering and sad——

"Gone Lover" is not a love story.

Thinking about it carefully, such a story really needs the sharpness and ruthlessness of the male director, cutting into the intricate relationship between the two characters in a cold and biting way, showing a kind of **** atmosphere.

Therefore, Dong Ruixi herself is conflicted.

After going around in circles, the plan to adapt the movie was put on hold.

Until the appearance of "tourists", Dong Ruixian saw great potential in Lu Qian, and then, as she said, she watched Lu Qian's other two works, the allusions to campus bullying in "Unfriending" , The refinement of human choice in "The Raid" made her eyes shine.

Maybe Lu Qian is the right answer.
