Disaster Artist

Avoid self-repetition, not because Lu Qian is proud, but because Lu Qian is still in the exploration stage. Only by constantly breaking his comfort zone can he touch his own limits, and then expand his possibilities and create more work.

From this point of view, it is correct to reject the "disappearing lover". After all, the "tourist" has just made a big splash at the Weihai Film Festival. If he immediately shoots a work that also focuses on marriage, it will be easy for him to It is obviously not a good thing to be deemed to be standing still and resting on its laurels.

Just like the filming and production of "Unfriend 2" and "Raid 2", Lu Qian put it on hold without any hesitation, and did not give these claims and prejudices any chance.

But to put it another way, the directors of the hall of masters have more or less repeated themselves in their careers, and even some directors have touched the extreme in a single genre. Shooting the same theme does not necessarily mean self-repetition. It also means looking at yourself and looking for breakthroughs.

Academia is like this, from undergraduate to graduate to doctorate, it is in the same field, constantly refining and deepening, and finally finding a breakthrough in a knowledge point, the same is true for artistic creation, repeating yourself does not mean regressing , the focus should be on how to repeat.

What's more, the same subject is presented with different shooting techniques, which can also show different styles——

It was out of this consideration that Lu Qian nodded and promised Dong Ruixian that he would read this book carefully.

The line of sight, temporarily returned to Lu Qian's original time and space.

In different fields in the same year, three works from different directors have emerged, which were later dubbed "Marriage Trilogy" by senior movie fans who love movies.

The three films are "The Tourist" from Ruben Ostrund, "The Gone Lover" from David Fincher, and "The Loved One" from Charlie-McDowell It's you".

Among them, "Tourist" focuses on maintaining marriage. After an avalanche that never happened, the couple's struggles to maintain their marriage ended in seeing each other's ugliness. This is a typical plot In movies, the so-called psychological thriller is more buried in the relationship between the characters, the turbulent undercurrent under the calm.

"Love Is You" focuses on the pursuit of the perfect marriage. After experiencing a marital crisis, the couple tries to save it through marriage counseling. There I met another couple who looked exactly like me. Gradually, both of them lost themselves in the real and the fake.

"Gone Lover" focuses on the destruction of marriage. The wife rips off the mask of marriage in an almost primitive and cruel way, so that all lies and ugliness are hidden, revealing the fact that the essence of marriage is mutual control and mutual torture. It is a suspenseful crime movie, and the **** smell that can be seen and invisible is always permeating.

However, what the three films have in common is that they cut into marriage in different ways, different types and even different styles, and then show the darkest aspect of the marriage relationship.

Actually, there is no connection between the three films:

"Tourist" is the classic route of the three major European film festivals, the traditional creative mode of art directors; "Gone Lover" is a typical American awards season movie route, the product of major Hollywood studios; "Love is You" is an orthodox small Cost independent films, without the blessing of any halo, only rely on the art theater chain to open up the situation.

It is precisely because of this that the influence of the three works is completely different. "Love is you" is only circulated among niche fans, and the reputation is not obvious; "tourists" are passed down by word of mouth among senior fans and art film lovers. , the recognition is good; "Gone Lover" was a success at the box office, and it can be said to be one of the most well-known works of the awards season that year.

However, these three unrelated works appeared in the same year. After the hidden connection was discovered by movie fans, they talked about it with relish and radiated new vitality. It was even dubbed "a must-see for Valentine's Day". series.

From this perspective, it is undoubtedly very interesting -

Different themes, different genres, different styles, different routes, even different perspectives and narrative methods, but have the same core, and then form a trilogy series that is "not a trilogy". Valley

From such heights, and revisiting the films "Gone Lover" and "The Tourist," things get interesting.

What if Lu Qian really did this?

How about filming a plot type, a sci-fi type, and a suspense type in different ways, but in the same vein and completely different analysis of marriage, forming a trilogy in different time and space but connected with each other?

Moreover, different works of different genres are injected with similar dark humor.

Like the soundtrack.

In "Tourists", the classical soundtrack shows the turbulent turbulence of the couple's game to the fullest. The majestic orchestral music creates psychological turbulence at the auditory level, and then creates absurd viewing effects, and then the same technique is also incorporated into other works. , complement each other.

Like composition.

Different themes are of different types, the light and shadow effects and the texture of the picture are necessarily different, but the similarities of the works are vaguely constructed through the composition method, and the frame essence of the marriage is secretly reflected, and the three works are connected in such a way to form resonance. Showing a different face of marriage.

Then, Lu Qian opened the door to a whole new world. At this moment, when he re-examines the "disappeared lover", his perspective will be completely different.

Is this still repeating itself?

Not only is it not, but it is a breakthrough.

So, if Lu Qian really wants to do this, how should he do it?

There is no doubt ~www.novelmt.com~ Finch is an excellent director, and even has the talent to touch the palace as a master of the top. It is very difficult to copy or surpass, which also presents a serious challenge to Lu Qian. challenge.

Even in this time and space, people don't know the existence of Finch at all, but if Lu Qian wants to break through himself or further achieve himself, he needs to put forward higher requirements for himself.

The biggest advantage of Finch's version of "Gone Lover" is that the portrayal of female characters is wonderful, but the biggest disadvantage is that the female characters are too eye-catching, which leads to the imbalance of the whole film.

For a long time, Finch's strengths and strengths lie in atmosphere creation, rhythm control, editing layout, and classic masterpieces such as "Fight Club" and "Seven Deadly Sins" can deeply feel this, revealing a trace in the cold image. Biting cold, and then mad.

There is no doubt that Finch's strong personal characteristics are difficult to copy and irreplaceable. For any director, it is very difficult to break the color that Finch gave to the film; the correct way should not be to break Finch's style, but completely subverted and then interpreted in his own style.

But is it really that easy?
