Mockumentary, as a realistic form of expression, has rarely seen any phenomenal works over the years, because this style of film requires layers of foreshadowing to bring into the main line of the story, so that the audience always has the feeling of watching "Animals". Of course, "Animal World" is a good work, there is no doubt about it, but if you think about it... has your dad ever fallen asleep while watching "Animal World" on the sofa?

This is a big problem with the documentary form. It is a bit of a sleep aid. Shooting a pseudo-documentary, especially a pseudo-documentary movie, will inevitably be mixed with a lot of conversations. This is not what those movie fans who go to the theater to seek to stimulate their senses are pursuing. It's better to go for health care than to sleep. Why go to the cinema to feel sleepy?

Of course, exciting pseudo-documentaries exist, but most of them will appear on the science and education channel at 8 p.m., such as "Mystery of Unknown Animals" and "Survival in the Wilderness", but are these stimulations given to you in the form of documentaries? No, it is given to you by the subject matter, and it has nothing to do with the documentary. The subject matter is here, and even if you make it into a PPT, it will still be exciting.

As for the subject between people, it is difficult to achieve sensory stimulation in the form of a documentary, unless it is the kind of subject that will definitely be swept away by the anti-pornography campaign.

But don’t mockumentary-style movies have any merit? Of course not, on the contrary, the advantage is particularly obvious, that is, unparalleled reality.

This is somewhat similar to long-shot movies. Although long-shot movies are either shot to the end, or the editing techniques are particularly obscure, allowing the story line to run very smoothly and increasing the audience's sense of involvement, it is different from documentary-style multi-edit movies. The purpose of both parties is the same, to show more subtle emotional changes than the three-paragraph structure and the narrative structure, or to increase the fluctuation of emotions.

Looking at the real world objectively through conversations and shots purely for filming is the main purpose of the documentary style. It lacks the subjective sense of involvement of other architectural style movies, allowing you to make your own choices instead of being influenced by others. The director instills thoughts and forces you into the emotions of the protagonist.

Documentary, you can take any side you want, or you can even treat it as a story that has nothing to do with you. This is the reason why it shows the truth, because all of this is essentially related to you, but it seems to have nothing to do with it. .

Lu Ze liked this style more than the ordinary three-part film, but when he was involved in a movie of this style, Lu Ze began to hesitate. Before facing the real shooting techniques, he had to face one thing first. Very true thing.

That’s why mock documentaries are not popular.

Making a movie is a very realistic thing. No matter what the reputation is, it is within the acceptance range of investors, but no matter how the box office is... I'm sorry, investors can't do it.

You can make a film that is so bad that it makes you feel like you have maggots in your butt, sitting in the theater seat is like being in jail, and you can go back and curse the movie. It doesn't matter, it's OK, just pay.

But what if you go in and watch it, complain in discomfort, feel dead halfway through, can’t stand it any longer, and feel like you’re going to die if you watch it for a while longer, and then you try to get other viewers who don’t like the movie to refund their tickets? impossible!

To put it most bluntly, not only movies, but all art must be based on the economy, which is the so-called antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times.

Why do many people deny performance art and think that performance art is not art? It is because this art cannot produce any economic value during the process or at the end.

On the other hand, why is performance art considered art by many people? Because after performance artists classify and summarize their actions, they will naturally publish a book with conclusions, which involves thinking about human nature and generates value. Then this is art.

The simple truth is that art is above the economic foundation, and the upper class humans are above art. Only when they think it is art will it be recognized as art, because all new art needs to be wrapped in a golden layer. , and a coat that can be refracted and misinterpreted. This layer of clothing cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

This is also Mickey's difficulty. If you make a movie with a three-part structure, investors will applaud you. If you make a movie with a narrative structure, because "Afterlife" is in front, you won't be particularly difficult, and it will probably only reduce part of the investment. And what about the documentary format? Of course, they won't yell loudly, they will just let the investors surround Mickey and shout about their ancestors, hoping that he will change his mind, but what if he insists on filming? As for money... most of them are unwilling to take it out.

Throwing the pen on the table, Lu Ze had a headache. As an actor, of course he didn't have to worry about this, but as a shareholder of the company? Of course he had a headache. Of course, he didn't dare to rub his head at this moment. After all, there were only a few hairs left on his head.

"what are you thinking?"

"I've never made a mockumentary... I'm quite interested in it."

Mickey's answer did not surprise Lu Ze at all. For a person who can spend all his wealth to buy a One-77 just because he likes it, what else do you think he would not dare to do if he is interested?

"so what?"

"The decision was made between the narrative and pseudo-documentary formats. I've really made enough films with a three-part structure. I'm too lazy to play with a style that can produce results if I just find someone who knows how to film."

He spoke with some arrogance, as if this style of film had never been filmed before and he could easily copy it. Lu Ze smiled on the phone and said nothing. Mickey was always full of words and extremely confident. It seems that there is nothing that can stump him in the film field, and all his achievements come from talent.

This is the impression he leaves on the public, but only those around him know that in order to justify the boast he has made, he has worked hard secretly. Maybe he will regret it after he boasts, secretly scolding himself, and slapping himself. He should have experienced it all, and then relied on his true talent and more hard work to become prominent in front of others. He has grown up without leaving any retreat. He is worthy of encouragement, but it is inevitable to be ridiculed.

"Then please send the script over. I have to read it before making a decision."

"Okay, remember to keep it confidential, the highest level."

In fact, in "Global Brothers", no one knows what the highest-level code name is. Mickey always calls the scripts he writes top secret, but I'm afraid he doesn't even know how high it actually is.

Lu Ze agreed, and the matter came to an end. Of course, Mickey popped up videos many times hoping to show off his lobster skills in front of Lu Ze, but they failed. However, Lu Ze also got other news about the newly established "Global" "Brothers" brokerage branch.

The artists were all separated and assigned to crews in various countries. Among them, the one who deserved Lu Ze's attention the most was Charlie. With his extraordinary appearance, it was natural that he could not be like a pearl. In a very short period of time, he became the star that all the major crews were competing for. The target, so many brokerage companies are secretly hating why the "Global Brothers" can always find treasures. First it was Lu Ze, then the Russian brothers, and now there is another one who can seize the opportunity with his looks even if he cannot redeem his acting talent. Charlie, who is on his way out.

The salary of 300,000 euros comes from Charlie's debut salary, which is simply terrifyingly high for a newcomer. However, I heard that the director of the other crew felt that he was making a profit, and privately revealed that it would be worth spending another 300,000 euros. Mickey has been complaining for a long time this week that he seems to have never seen the money and should have quoted a higher price.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to call Mickey Mama-san... the Madam.

There were only so many things about the British side. There was no more disturbance. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan. There was no more chatting with Mickey. Not long after hanging up the phone, a new email was received in the mailbox and was disconnected immediately. Internet, no more food, and after calling Wang Zixuan, she returned to her bedroom with her notebook in hand.

After connecting to the printer, the white paper was gradually smudged with pen and ink, leaving a string of words. After about ten minutes, the printer stopped and he picked up the script. It was not too thick, but not too thin, and the white header On the piece of paper, there was only one line of bold text... "Nothing to Listen to".

Lu Ze had read the original version, and even now thinking about it he still gets chills in his heart. The setting is not as brilliant as "The Past", and the story is not as desperate as "The Past", but the strange thing is that when you look at it, you will If you feel uncomfortable, you will feel a biting coldness, giving rise to a sense of powerlessness and numbness that has been frostbitten. I wonder if the script now with the changed character settings is more impactful than the previous version.

He closed the curtains, turned off the headlights, and poured a glass of warm water. He sat at the desk and turned on the lamp. He took a sip of water before turning to the first page of the script. Sure enough, there were some big changes. The first page was actually in order.

"I have seen many problem children. Most of their paranoia and isolation come from domestic violence, school violence, adult molestation, and witnessing a series of tragedies. I can understand that these children have nowhere to release their hearts but are extremely destructive. The anger and all the suffering have created demons who are only teenagers or even several years old. They are like a bronze mirror, reflecting all the misery through themselves to the surroundings. It also makes me believe that these children who came from a difficult background can never go back to the world again. Kind, until I met a man who was born in "Puglitz County (apocryphal)". His kindness is still fresh in my memory, but sadly, this kindness comes from incompleteness, not from a complete person. soul."

"When I was sent to Puglis County to interview this man, it was already 2011, when he was twenty-one years old..."

Just seeing this, Lu Ze stopped. He finally understood why Mickey wanted to make a mockumentary film. Because this subject matter and the description method that started with an interview were very suitable for the "mockumentary" format. Came to shoot.

"Why are you waiting for this if you don't want to shoot it in the form of a documentary?"

After sending this message to Mickey, he put down his phone and continued to look down.
