I asked you to write about Fishman, and you went crazy with your creations on the spot?

"Okay, let's stop here."

National Film Academy, elite class.

The professor walked to the middle of the stage and began to enter the discussion session.

In each round of the competition, the elite class discussed while watching.

This round is no exception.

And the learning effect is quite good.

On the podium, the professor said :"It’s been more than an hour since I watched it. The structural framework of the story should be less than half of it. Please analyze, how does it feel to write this script so far?"

The students in the audience sat upright and took out the notes they had written before, which were filled with dense reflections.

"Who comes first?"

Everyone in the audience raised their hands.

"Yi Dong, come first and tell me your current views on this script."

The professor listened with his hands behind his hands.

A student stood up and picked up his notes:"Teacher, my intuitive feeling is that the senior brother is re-deconstructing the theme of Journey to the West, messing up the relationship between the characters, and the character design is also completely new..

I think there are several advantages and several controversial points in doing so."

The professor stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation:"Continue."

"Benefit 1: It provides a sense of freshness and breaks the rules. After all, the theme of"Journey to the West" has many remakes, and the same old routine will inevitably make people boring. Senior brother has provided you with a new idea for script creation!"

The students nodded and agreed.

"Benefit 2: The exaggerated comedy techniques used by the senior brother tightened the laughter of every audience. I think this creative method is easily popular among young people. It has high commercial value!"

"Benefit Three: It’s the entry point! In other words, the story itself is unique and refreshing. It's really interesting that Sun Wukong and the Bone Demon fall in love, but we still don't know how the senior brother plans to write the Supreme Treasure and Zixia. In terms of highlights, senior brother is undoubtedly full of expectations!"

As he spoke, Yi Dong changed the topic:"As for the controversial points, I think the biggest controversy is that the design is too novel, so much so that it completely subverts everyone's original understanding of the character.

Young people are more receptive, which is better.

But older viewers may not be able to agree.

This can be concluded from the reactions of the judges, especially the 100-member group.

So I think the purpose of the plots that senior brother is currently writing is also to screen the audience!

To a certain extent, such screening will delineate the scope of dissemination and cause limitations in content dissemination.

The professor nodded:"That's right, continue.""

Yi Dong was greatly encouraged:"In addition to this, there is another controversial point, which I think is also more prominent. That's whether romance and comedy can go together.

As we all know, love has always been a serious and pure eternal proposition.

Its manifestations often end in tragedy and sublimate.

Use comedy techniques to express tragedy and even the proposition of love.

Is there a conflict in itself?

It will weaken its seriousness and purity.

This is where I think there is more controversy.

Of course, this is just my own perception and experience at the moment. I’m not sure what my senior will write in the future.

The comments are only analysis of the plot shown so far!

Thank you Professor."

Yi Dong finished his opinion and sat down again.

The professor nodded and called another one:"Xueling, come and talk!"

A pretty girl picked up her notebook and stood up.

There was constant applause.

"It’s Senior Sister Xueling!"

"Senior sister Xueling is awesome! The analysis in the first few rounds was pretty good!"

"Well, I like her analysis of the Cavalry Company in"Bright Sword". It's very profound and very good!"

"That's right, after all, I am someone who hopes to be elected as an outstanding graduate!"

The scene fell silent.

Everyone listened with their ears pricked up.

Xue Ling smiled and said:"Professor, before I express my own opinion, I would like to express my own opinion on classmate Yi Dong's point of view."

Yi Dong heard the words and immediately stood up again.

He looked like he was listening.

Xueling:"First of all, I agree with the previous points of classmate Yi Dong. I also think that senior brother is reshaping the story of"Journey to the West" this time. However, I reserve my opinion on the last controversial point.

First of all, I don’t think there is a clear relationship between the two genres of comedy and romance.

There may not be many movies in this area in China, but there are still quite a few overseas.

For example,"Love in the World", such as"K Song Lover".

Some people may say that foreign comedies are more open-minded and not particularly in line with the aesthetics of our people.

But I believe that Senior Brother Lu Chen’s ability can definitely handle the localized integration of the two.

Besides, tragedy and comedy seem to be a very contradictory combination.

But I have read a foreign column report. The author of this article, I believe many students here should know.

He is the famous comedy master of Haolaiwu: David Bobdu. He has made twenty comedies in his life.

Many are familiar comedies."

The audience was in an uproar.

"It’s the master!"

"Well, he is a very famous master of comedy. Xueling continued:"In this report, he talked in detail about the process of creating comedy and his views on comedy. I especially remember this sentence he wrote in it.

He said that after filming many comedies, he gradually understood a truth.

In fact, the core of comedy is tragedy!"

As soon as the argument came out, the students opened their mouths.

The professor's eyes lit up:"Continue, Xueling. Xueling nodded:"

He believes that comedy makes people laugh because the audience bases their happiness on the pain of a person involved.""

"Yes, yes, I have seen this point of view too!"

Many people echoed.

Xueling:"So, the essence of comedy, even if it is not tragedy, has a lot of overlap with tragedy. There is no fundamental opposition between the two. It just depends on the creator's skill and whether he can grasp the degree.

Of course, I’m not sure whether my brother’s next creations will follow this theory.

But for now, I personally see the signs.

I don’t know if you just noticed those close-ups of Bai Jingjing.

One is a close-up of the moonlight, and the other is a close-up of the person who betrayed his heart when he learned that the Supreme Treasure was the reincarnation of Sun Wukong.

At least in these two storyboards, I saw the shadow of love and sadness.

But do you feel violated?"

The students around me all shook their heads.

"right! This shows that these two shots and close-ups are perfectly connected and inclusive with the previous comedy content.

Although I don’t know how senior brother did it.

But that’s the strong impression it gave me.

So I think whether this script can present the essence will test the actors' acting skills in the future!"

"well said!"The professor nodded and said with a smile.

The other students were thoughtful and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Senior Sister Xueling is right, but why is it so silky smooth? It's obviously a ridiculous and illogical plot, but when you look at it, it doesn't feel uncomfortable or inconsistent. how did you do that?"

Hearing the discussion in the audience, the professor turned around and wrote a few words on the blackboard:

——Emotional reversal!

——Background logic!

——Group portrait atmosphere!

The students in the audience suddenly widened their eyes.

The professors explained one by one:"You are all curious as to why such an unstructured story can make people not embarrassed. These three factors must be able to explain this reason to a certain extent. The first one: emotional reversal.

Ending At present, we have been seeing various plot reversals, which can be said to be dizzying.

In the previous class, we talked about the fast-paced movie viewing experience brought about by strong plot reversals. To a certain extent, it can firmly Capture the audience's attention.

However, there are pros and cons!

When your mood is positive, this fast pace allows people to continue to pay attention and immerse themselves in the story.

However, when your mood is negative When moving forward, every fast-paced segment intensifies the audience's resistance, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire movie-watching experience.

But why, this script by your senior brother can continue to make you devote your energy to reading, and make you feel funny and happy.

This brings us to the second point, background logic.

Just now Yi Dong said that when writing this story, he also selected his own audience.

In fact, it is not very accurate.

To be precise, from the beginning, when Tang Monk appeared, this The character design has been established.

The audience screening for this movie has been basically determined.

Audiences who can watch it will have expectations in their hearts.

Audiences who can't watch it have also built up a line of defense.

I don't know, have you paid attention to the live broadcast room? (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

From the beginning, the number of people in the live broadcast room was more than 12 million.

But after the story unfolded, there were two million in the middle!

What does this mean? Two million people couldn't accept such a story, so they left.

The remaining ten million people had their own expectations.

They could also accept the funny and interesting scenes that followed.

This is the underlying logic of this script!

It is not that it is illogical, but it weakens the logic of the characters in the story and pays more attention to its emotional logic!

When you enter this emotional logic, you will subconsciously ignore the logic of the story itself!

But in fact, this story, in addition to Character logic, in addition to re-deconstruction.

Its own story logic is completely online.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is interconnected.

The above two points pay more attention to artistic conception, but in specific practice, it requires a The shell is used to express one's own form.

This shell is the various characters!

Have you noticed that in this story, in addition to Sun Wukong, Tang Monk, and the

Supreme Treasure, the deputy gang leader, the blind man, and the bandits, including Bodhi Patriarch, Bai Jingjing, each The characters are almost in a state of performance at the same frequency.

There is no obvious sense of separation. It feels as if there is indeed a group of people performing such a story.

This is the third point - the group atmosphere.

Why In some comedies, we will look embarrassed.

The key point is also the third point, which is not expressed well.

There is a gap and separation between the protagonist and the supporting role. This causes the entire plot to collapse due to the actors' acting skills.

So we often say, a A good script must meet the right actors for it.

No matter how good the script is, if the actors are not accurate, then no matter how good the script is, it will be useless!

For example, our recognized high-quality TV series:"The Ming Dynasty 1566".

You can watch it, Whether they are starring or supporting roles, they are all performing on the same channel.

Of course, if a director is good enough, or the leading actor is very good.

They can drive the supporting characters into the state they want.

Create a group atmosphere……"

As the professor explained the three points eloquently.

The classmates in the audience suddenly realized!

"I see!"

"The professor’s analysis is so accurate!"

"When the professor said this, I realized that this script, senior brother, perfectly meets the three points mentioned by the professor!"

"It's amazing. I didn't expect such a fantastic story. I learned more than the first three rounds!"

"Senior brother is so awesome!"

……

The professor put down the chalk and changed the topic:"Go on, Xueling, tell me your own point of view."

Xueling finished taking notes and nodded heavily.

"Yes, professor. Just now I had some thoughts on classmate Yi Dong. Next I talk about my own viewing experience.

First of all, I think Senior Brother has broken the rules and deconstructed Journey to the West this time.

Must be trying to express something.

But what it is specifically, I can't summarize accurately now.

But I have a vague feeling that the senior brother wants to challenge our inherent views on traditional things.

So he did not hesitate to take the character to the extreme.

Take Tang Seng for example. In the original work, Tang Seng is a bit nagging.

But in this script, he is just an unreasonably verbose master.

Another example is Sun Wukong and Bai Jingjing, this should be the most classic set of opposing characters in"Journey to the West".

But the senior brother wanted to design them as a couple entangled in grudges.

From this extreme, push to another extreme in one breath.

Even his line design is too avant-garde!

It was so avant-garde that we find it incredible now.

So I think, if we can understand the intention of senior brother writing this!

Maybe we can really understand this story

《"Journey to the West", our understanding of it is stuck in the inherent traditional modernist view of learning from scriptures and fighting monsters.

But the way my brother writes is completely contrary to the modernist view.

It's hard not to imagine the depth of his meaning. 470

After all, he had previously created"Hurry Up" and"Bright Sword". Although there are contrasts, they are more about personality contrasts. The overall story still follows our conventional modernist views.

Only in this round, the style suddenly changed.

Of course, it has something to do with the subject matter itself and the greater room for development.

But I still believe that senior brother must have new ideas and thoughts to convey.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have written a story about a monkey jumping out of a stone and falling in love. The professor heard this and smacked his lips:"Modernism?" Well, this view is quite interesting. Xueling thought for a while and said,"Professor, I actually think that one word can more closely summarize the meaning that Senior Brother wants to convey in this script." But the word is generally used in the fields of architecture and painting, as well as philosophy. It has nothing to do with our film and television industry."

"Philosophical field?"

The students in the audience were all surprised.

Does this script rise to the level of philosophy?

Xue Ling also felt embarrassed, which is why she has been embarrassed to say it directly.

After all, this script is quite farcical.

Not yet. That kind of height.

But the narrative technique and the form of expression are so similar to the word she knows!

The professor obviously also saw her concerns, smiled and encouraged:"It's okay, say it boldly, after all, we are in the classroom, it is allowed Various perspectives. Xueling took a deep breath and no longer hesitated:"This word is called: postmodernism!" At the literary level, it has two other terms: critical literature, or comparative literature!

The fundamental concept is to challenge tradition!

So I think that this play written by my senior brother may be a post-modernist style movie."

At this moment, there was no sound in the class.

On the podium, the professor's brows frowned, relaxed, and frowned again.

A full minute passed.

Applause!

The professor was the first to applaud!

Then, one, two, three, more and more people burst into applause

"Well said, Senior Sister Xueling! so amazing!"

"Yes, that’s awesome!"

Xueling was so embarrassed by the praise!

At this moment, the entire elite class seemed to be shaking off the roof with applause.

And there were many students in the class who silently recorded, wrote articles, and then published them...

Ten minutes later.

Internal of Domestic Film University Alliance Forum.

An article titled:"New Journey to the West: Analysis of Lu Chen's Postmodernist Film Style!" was quietly launched online!

It was instantly noticed by students from major film universities who have been visiting the forum all year round.

Click to watch.

The sharp opinions and interpretations make I admire it!

Especially the description of the postmodern style is breathtaking.

There were countless comments at once!

New posts also sprung up.

Countless students were watching the game while recording, sharing, and deconstructing it!

For a time, the forum was so lively!

Even Lu Chen himself didn’t know that"Westward Journey" was once again popular among the students!

And now, the story has advanced to Supreme Treasure and Bai Jingjing escaping into the cave.

Supreme Treasure cursed Chun Sanniang……
