Global Movie Emperor

The theater's headlights came on, and bursts of applause came from behind. After Lu Ze and the creators stood up to thank the audience, the group returned to the stage and sat in their seats.

Picking up the mineral water and taking a sip, the mother kept scratching the lines of the bottle with her fingernails. Looking at the smiles of the other creative staff, it seemed that they were very satisfied with the work, but Lu Ze was a little unhappy.

The subject matter of "Wrong Love" is still novel. First of all, it is about falling in love with a girlfriend while sleeping, and the different switching between three worlds. It seems a little bit brain-consuming, but it is controlled, without going too far and going off topic. From romance films to suspense films.

In terms of creativity, Lu Ze definitely approved of the script, and there were no major problems with the filming. The two children, Dai Xilu and Ding Zhiyi, did not hold them back. Ding Zhiyi even performed beyond his level. Lu Ze There is nothing to choose from. The age and experience of these two young people are here. Not everyone has a system. Lu Ze cannot judge others by his own standards.

At present, this series of processes is going well, but the only thing that Lu Ze feels is that something went wrong, and that is the editing. No matter how you look at it, it is not the same as what Lu Ze expected.

Although the order of the script has been restored to a large extent, and it seems to be what it means, Lu Ze always felt that there were a lot of things missing, which resulted in the original flavor of the script being lost to a large extent.

First of all, Xiao Fengying must have made some cuts in the third world, the world where Zhou Yi and Wang Mengjun are together, in order to control the length of the movie.

The length of modern movies is generally controlled within one and a half hours, because one and a half hours is the longest period for which the mind can be concentrated. Any longer, the audience will easily become distracted, and this is also the best physiological endurance period for the audience. After one and a half hours, People are likely to want to go to the toilet.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Ah San’s movies are usually between two and three hours long, because people there are really picky, and the quality of a movie is basically judged by its duration. Time If it's short, they think it's a loss, and it's trash. If it's long, they feel it's a profit. As long as it's eye-catching, it can be called a good movie.

Of course, you have to dance. If you don’t dance, you are garbage among garbage.

However, Asan's cinema has an intermission, giving the audience fifteen minutes to go to the toilet in the middle of the movie. Use your left hand... Well, of course, it doesn't matter which hand you use.

I’m just saying that only a group of three guys on a motorcycle can do this. Otherwise, in which other country can you watch a movie and still take a break?

Therefore, in order to control the length of the movie, Xiao Fengying made some cuts. Lu Ze could understand it, but in this way, there were fewer sweet scenes that could arouse the audience's emotions.

Romance movies, even the kind where you eat kimchi and die from cancer, you have to be sweet before, otherwise it will be difficult for the audience to resonate with the tragedy later.

Sweetness is the eternal killer move in romance movies. As long as a person still has feelings and is not a pigeon killer, he will unconsciously like sweet scenes. As the saying goes, if one trick is eaten everywhere, if the sweetness is not enough, no matter how tragic it is later. , no matter how appropriate, it is a waste of effort.

Although "Wrong Love" would not be called a failure in sweet drama, it was obviously not strong enough. Lu Ze looked around the audience and saw that there were only a few people with red eyes. Most of them were just not happy, muttering something to the friends around them. Lu Ze was too far away and didn't hear it.

The second point is that the expression of Zhou Yi and Wang Mengjun's breakup was a bit too plain, although the audience knew in their hearts that the root cause of Zhou Yi and Wang Mengjun's breakup was seventeen years of hard searching to no avail.

In the end, I was defeated by age and reality. I recognized my own mediocrity and knew that I and the other person would never really meet each other in this life. Then for the two of them, this relationship had no meaning and value, so they chose to let go and let the other person. Find a real partner in the real world, instead of being addicted to sleep and falling in love in dreams.

But the tears were not well controlled. What about the sadness of the two breaking up? What about reluctance? What if seventeen years of hard work turned into futility? Neither showed it.

But in fact, these missing scenes were actually filmed, but Lu Ze didn't know why they didn't appear in the official version of the movie.

Perhaps what Xiao Fengying wants to express is that she hopes couples can face it calmly when they break up. It is not impossible to add this idea to the movie, because this is her movie, and there is nothing wrong in inheriting her thoughts and concepts.

All I can say is...she didn't pass the editing. Her own thoughts were completely expressed clearly. It can't be said that it was badly edited. After all, it looked pretty good. It can only be said that it was not what Lu Ze meant.

Judging from the heartfelt smiles of the main creators, I guess they are very satisfied with the result. It is true that Xiao Fengying has made a lot of bad movies over the years, and now that he has made a pretty good movie, the pressure on him is actually Reduced a lot.

Ding Zhiyi and Dai Xilu are both making movies for the first time. They have been shooting TV series before. It is actually good to make a movie like this when they step into the film industry for the first time.

Therefore, among this group of people, Lu Ze is not very satisfied with the work. He really feels that the editing does not reflect the excellence of the script. He also cannot compare the movies he has made with "Wrong Love". After all, it is a real drama. There is no comparison with romance movies. If you compare it forcefully, it would be a bit bullying.

And now that the movies have been released, this result is irreversible. Lu Ze estimated that the score should be between 6:50 and 7:50. It is impossible to reach 8 points.

In this case, there was no need for Lu Ze to show his bitterness and hatred to others at the press conference. Otherwise, it would not be good for him to spread some rumors. He could only smile and admit it in his heart. It was a waste. Let's just waste half a year. If the film doesn't completely collapse and become a bad movie, it won't have much impact on my reputation. Moreover, I also got the salary for "The Wrong Love", so I just have to get the money.

Because of this, the atmosphere of the press conference was harmonious. Xiao Fengying picked up the microphone and walked to the center of the stage, expressing her thoughts in front of the flash of the camera.

"The film has finished. To be honest, I feel that this film is the only one that I can produce in recent years. It contains the meaning I want."

"After three changes to the script, it finally turned into what I wanted. For example, the setting of the parallel space and some changes to the characters made me very satisfied."

"I would also like to thank Lu Ze, Ding Zhiyi, Dai Xilu and other actors for their contribution to this film. Especially Lu Ze, who provided me with a lot of suggestions on details."

"There is another paragraph. Although this may be written by film critics, I can't help but want to mention it to everyone now. Everyone has also seen that the same things happen in the respective worlds of Zhou Yi and Wang Mengjun. , but the gender is different from the other person's gender, so what I want to express most in the whole film is whether you have fallen in love with yourself at a certain time, or will you fall in love with a heterosexual version of you? .”

"This is the last question I want to ask the audience. I've asked it, and I'm not in a hurry to ask you for an answer. So today's press conference ends here. I hope I can meet you again in the near future and appreciate my Goodbye."

...

After the press conference ended, Lu Ze changed into loose clothes in the lounge at the conference site, folded his tie and put it in his bag, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In fact, Lu Ze still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he had wasted half a year. He originally thought this movie would be great, but it turned out to be very disappointing.

"Brother Lu, have you changed your clothes? Director Xiao asked me to ask you if you are going to the celebration banquet."

A staff member knocked on the door. After Lu Ze agreed to let him in, he opened the door and asked while standing at the door.

"I won't go. I apologize to Director Xiao for me. I have something to do here, so I'll leave first. Let's meet up later."

After the staff closed the door, Lu Ze smiled mockingly. There were too many spectators just now, and he was embarrassed to show such an expression on the stage. In fact, he had been holding back this ridicule for a long time.

He and Xiao Fengying will never cooperate again. Lu Ze is sure of this. First of all, he has great distrust in Xiao Fengying's camera skills. The next time Xiao Fengying gives him a film contract, no matter how good the script is, he will not Answer, because now it is difficult for him to believe in Xiao Fengying’s directorial skills.

It is estimated that Xiao Fengying is also like this, and it is impossible to give Lu Ze another film appointment. She said just now that Lu Ze gave her some suggestions, but after the movie was released, Lu Ze discovered that she had used none of these suggestions.

Lu Ze can guarantee that he has carefully maintained the dignity of the director and expressed his suggestions to Xiao Fengying in a very tactful way, hoping that she would not mind her participation in the filming.

Yes, many directors don't like others to dictate their filming, but Lu Ze is not serious yet, just a light suggestion. Besides, Lu Ze is still a big shot. No matter how bad the director's temper is, facing an actor of Lu Ze's level , should at least listen a little bit, right? After all, it's all for the film's profit.

But Xiao Fengying talked a lot with Lu Ze on the surface, and as soon as he turned around, he forgot all about it. With such a narrow-minded woman, Lu Ze had no need to cooperate with her again.

She packed her suit and went out to say hello to Dai Xilu and Ding Zhiyi, but she didn't see anyone from Xiao Fengying. It was funny to say that if she really wanted Lu Ze to attend the celebration party, she wouldn't just find a staff member When I came to inquire, it was obvious that I didn't plan to have any more contact with Lu Ze.

After the two young men's invitations went nowhere, Lu Ze left the venue and got into Liu Bin's car to go home.
