Disaster Artist Chapter 1408

From an objective point of view, the scripts of the "Unfriending" and "Raid" series are not exquisite and complicated, and can even be said to be simple and weak, but these films have not encountered script criticism after their release.

reason?

First, the focus of these movies is not the script. A smooth story and a group of distinctive characters are enough to spark.

Second, this is Lu Qian's conscious subtraction to bring a new experience at the audiovisual level. This is the correct way to open commercial movies.

In the film industry, there is such a "refrigerator rule":

That is to say, after watching a movie, the audience didn't realize the loopholes in the plot/logic until they returned home and opened the refrigerator, then the movie can be called a success at the script level.

In the final analysis, a movie is not a novel, and it is difficult to achieve perfection in terms of logic and plot, and loopholes are inevitable; what a movie really focuses on is a comprehensive audio-visual experience, as long as the director can firmly grasp the audience's attention , To avoid those loopholes found in the process of watching the movie, the movie has successfully completed its task.

It was not until the audience returned home and opened the refrigerator to take a good rest, or after discussion, that the logical loopholes were discovered. The impact on the viewing experience is negligible and should not be affected. Comment.

From "unfriending" to "raid", Lu Qian has successfully done this.

However, "Starfall City" is different.

From the Blue Summer Film Festival to the Golden Kite Award to the rising expectations, people can feel the different treatment of "City of Starfall" in all aspects. The audience's mentality and eyes when entering the movie theater are already different. The presentation of shadow effects also faces more challenges.

The failure of the "refrigerator rule" and the nitpicking and condemnation were all expected, after all, the whole situation has changed.

Of course, the weak script of song and dance movies has always been an objective problem, because such movies focus more on dazzling choreography, using body language and music melody to express emotions, and the script and characters cannot get enough room for expansion. .

When song and dance movies were first born, the "refrigerator rule" was also applicable. Because of the freshness and surprise, the audience often didn't have time to think about the weakness of the script, so countless classics were born in that era, but looking at those classics now, the script is weak. It also exists objectively.

Later, the novelty gradually faded, and the audience's requirements naturally became higher and higher, but singing and dancing movies were still difficult to break free from the shackles, so the "refrigerator rule" gradually became inapplicable, and finally witnessed the decline of singing and dancing movies.

There is no doubt that the criticism of the script, whether it is the same pattern, or the narrative that emphasizes the plot and the characters, is an important reason why song and dance movies are refrigerated or even eliminated by the market.

In fact, when Lu Qian decided to shoot a song and dance movie, he knew the dilemma he had to face. To some extent, part of the reason for choosing a song and dance movie was the relatively simple script level—

Lu Qian, who was writing the "Lover" script at the time, did encounter a bottleneck. He needed to find another way to break through the shackles, explore different creative methods, get rid of the constraints of the script, and make bolder, more adventurous and fresher attempts at the audiovisual level. One of the important reasons why Qian Qian chose to shoot "The City of Starfall".

Therefore, it is not surprising that "City of Stars Fall" encountered script criticism.

In fact, judging from the presentation effect of "City of Falling Stars", Lu Qian spent a lot of effort on the audio-visual level to create an immersive viewing effect as much as possible, and through music, dance and montage, he carefully outlined two The emotional fetters of the characters prove Lu Qian's understanding of the movie, using different methods to fill the gaps in the plot level.

—The effect is very gratifying.

Although he encountered two medium reviews and failed to achieve the feat of all praise, Lu Qian's efforts and attempts were still recognized by other film critics, which once again proved his ability and talent as a director.

Therefore, just following the mid-term review, a series of positive reviews made the rankings strong.

One hundred points, "Dazzling, thrilling, heart-pounding and intoxicated."

100 points, "Lu Qian once again used "The City of Starfall" to tell people that the movie is not dead."

One hundred points, "The film level is at its peak. Lu Qian shocked his brain with a wonderful audio-visual feast, and detonated his emotions with a mirage montage."

One hundred points, "Just like the song and dance movie itself, 'Starfall City' shows a charming and retro charm, not only has not been indifferent because of time, on the contrary, it has become more and more graceful because of the precipitation of time. A brave and surprising Movie-watching adventure."

100 points, "I have already embraced 100 points of expectations, but Lu Qian dedicated 300 points of excitement."

One hundred points, "If you need a reason to go to the cinema, Gao Silin and Aiya are the answer, their performances are full of the charm of the golden age; if you need a reason to fall in love with movies, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Lu Qian is the answer—a natural director, he was born for movies."

Full marks, full marks, still full marks.

All the perfect marks, strong swiping of the screen, it is too spectacular and grand, and even makes people wonder if they are dazzled, but after rubbing their eyes, they can realize—

All this is happening.

The two mid-term reviews were submerged in the bustling praises in a blink of an eye; moreover, they were not random praises, but all of them were full marks, which made people wonder if there was a shady operation behind the scenes.

But anyone of normal intelligence also knows:

If it is really collusive praise, you should definitely not foolishly give full marks to all of them, otherwise you will be able to see the tricks at a glance, right?

What's more, the mighty and vigorous praise has covered all mainstream professional media—

"Inside the Film", "The World of Light and Shadow" bear the brunt, followed by "Lanchuan Perspective", "Spotlight", "Premiere", "Independent Film", "Lanchuan Daily", etc. Exceptions, and the "variety show", which has always reserved comments on Lu Qian, is also rare to give a full score.

In other words, the mainstream media that can almost name them are all well received, full marks! Praise!

With such momentum, not to mention Blue Whale Films, even if the seven major film companies in Lanchuan join forces, they still cannot get all the media to sing praises for a movie in unison—

No one can do it!

The only possibility is, the movie itself.

A movie so wonderful that everyone shuts up, no need to cheat, no need to spend money, no need to plot, it is purely a heartfelt praise.

Don't forget, a good movie can speak for itself, this is the correct answer.
