"Come! Director Xu, let's talk alone." Feng Linwen patted Director Xu on the shoulder and said.
Not leaving the side, the elegant-looking man with a big back, who was the male lead in this drama, suddenly handed Feng Linye a cigarette, and then said politely: "Shenghe's boss Ma Wangbiaoyi I'll be here soon, and I said I would come in person to thank you."
"Scare me with Ma Wang Biao?" Feng Linwen sneered, without dragging Director Xu away, he spread out the script at the same place.
Then he pointed at Director Xu's nose and said: "Director Xu, let me say something heartbreaking. There are so many great directors in this Hong Kong city, but you said that you can't make money as well as Director Wang, and you can't win awards as well as another Director Wang. "Although there are many famous stars, the ones who are the most popular and have the highest box office basically have little to do with you."
"If I were you, I wouldn't be willing to do it."
Facing Feng Lin's sarcasm, Director Xu remained calm.
Being in the entertainment industry, I don’t have any shame or courage, and I’ve already been pissed off by people.
You are eating from the public, so of course you won’t be afraid of being scolded. Those who do whatever they want when they feel a little wronged will probably not survive long. Or he is deliberately taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
"I understand you! I know that you are seeking a balance between business and art. But have you ever thought about why it is always just a little bit behind?" Feng Linyan dragged a bench and sat on Director Xu's Next to him, he asked in a deep tone.
Such a talkative manner was particularly awkward when placed on his evil face at the moment.
It's not that bad guys can't be literate, but people don't want to believe that a villain like 'Crow' is actually a literate guy.
Just like Xu Jinjiang, the most famous romantic movie actor in Hong Kong City, he also has a rude and bully face. No one wants to believe that he is a close disciple of a traditional Chinese painting master and has a high artistic accomplishment.
Director Xu also eats whole grains and cannot be secular, so when faced with Feng Linyi's questions, he had no intention of answering.
Feng Lin's repayment of kindness had almost exhausted the goodwill he had gained from the previous rescue. Now he was forced to use force and maintain face, so he could only do it perfunctorily.
"Because although you understand movies, you don't understand the general audience psychology. Movies...or most storytelling works will encounter such a problem. That is, the expression of the creator and the understanding of the viewer, between disharmony between them.”
"Often what you want to convey will be misinterpreted and twisted into many other meanings, and even extend to the creator, questioning his ability or character."
"Although the story is false, it will always be taken as true."
Feng Linwen paused and found that all the eyes around him were gathered, obviously listening.
It should be because Feng Linyi's topic is what they are all concerned about.
"Then what you mean is to just do something that doesn't express anything, is plain and simple, and won't cause any misunderstanding or misunderstanding?" Director Xu asked with a sneer.
Feng Linyi shook his head and said: "Everyone has a basic sense of aesthetics. Doing this is just perfunctory. No one wants to spend money and time, only to see garbage with no highlights."
"What I mean is, either use a very dense rhythm, a strong accumulation of emotions, and the most vivid sensory stimulation to guide the audience. Let them abandon their thoughts and ideas for a while in the wonderful excitement, and be completely immersed in it. Amid splendid effects and ups and downs of mood swings.”
"This is a real commercial routine. Although the current Hong Kong movies have some traces of this aspect, the rhythm is still easy to be scattered. Sometimes they just pile up different plots, and the story will appear weak. But my script is different. , although its main line is simple, it is also very clear, Jianghu loyalty, pleasure and grudges."
Feng Linwen said in a tone of "I am doing this for you": "Director Xu! You need a really big-selling movie to prove your commercial value. Only by further proving your value can you have more success." The big opportunity is right in front of you. Don't forget...the trick I mentioned is what Hollywood is best at."
Director Xu was obviously a little shaken, but what he just said was too full, and now he regrets it in front of so many people. Where does this great director put his face?
He regretted not having a private chat with Feng Linyi just now.
If they were chatting alone, even if they regretted it, everyone would just think that Feng Linwen must have used something to blackmail Director Xu. Director Xu was just forced to agree.
"Then you said... what should I do if I want to pursue art?" Director Xu asked back, feeling like he was making things difficult, but also like he was really sitting down and talking.
Feng Linyi smiled and said: "That would be even simpler. Use the most gorgeous lens to capture the most incomprehensible light and shadow, mix in layers of metaphors, and in the end basically no one can fully interpret the story. Then it becomes a story There are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people. It’s like a maze. Everyone will find their own way out in the maze, and almost everyone’s path is different.”
"The audience will argue, noisy, and even divide into factions, each with their own opinions. Because everyone will stubbornly believe that the path they take is the most correct one."
"Thus, reflections on human nature, analysis of emotions, and deconstruction of art all came out. In fact, sometimes, it is just a complete story cut into random pieces with a pair of scissors."
When Director Xu heard this, he sighed and took over the script again.
"I'll take it back and study it further!" Director Xu said.
His words were basically a promise, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed at the moment.
Feng Linyan said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go to the Gangcheng Hotel to reserve a seat first. Everyone will come after work is over. Everyone will have a share of the abalone and bird's nest, and you'll eat until you're full."
At this moment, Feng Linwen's whole body was shining with golden light, and two words were written on his face...rich!
Director Xu looked at Feng Linwen, hesitating to speak, but finally couldn't hold back and said: "Crow...! It's a pity that you are on the road... Are you interested in following me on the set?"
The surrounding vision suddenly became intense.
Does Director Xu intend to train this bad boy to become a director?
Although the director is not as popular as a star, he still makes a lot of money. But with a high status, the potential value is greater. The most important thing is... once you have a reputation, you can enjoy it for a lifetime. It's not like being a star, where you get poorer every three years and get richer every five years. Today, everyone praises you, but tomorrow, everyone disapproves of you. There are too many ups and downs.
Feng Linyi laughed, waved his arms, and left with Su Shili.
Summer insects can't be said, so why should he explain?
When we got into the car, the person responsible for driving was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and nothing outstanding.
However, he was the descendant of Nine Fire Cinnabar Palm. When Feng Linwen came to find him, he was selling sugar-fried chestnuts on the street. He was also one of the subordinates recruited by Feng Linyi besides Su Shili.
"This drama was started by Sheng He. Now the whole port city knows that Liuhe Sect is going to destroy Shenghe. If you step in and provoke Liuhe Sect, are you really not afraid of getting into big trouble?" Su Shili did not ask Feng Lin. Why do you have to make a movie with "crow" as the main theme?
In these days, everyone is either seeking fame or profit. Although Feng Lin's approach was outrageous, it was not incomprehensible.
"Liuhemen has now made up its mind to make distant and close attacks first, and then gradually encroach on the gangster forces in the entire port city. I am a member of Dongyao, and I am still close to Dakou Niu. They will only regard this as Dongyao's test of Liuhemen. . I am 80% sure that Liuhemen will not care about this matter for the time being."
"The more imminent trouble now is not with the Liuhe Gate, nor with the Rakshasa Evil God. It is with Chen Xingtai. Although I don't care about his affairs, the power in my hands is constantly expanding. He is always afraid of me and tolerates me. It’s been so long, I’m afraid it’s hard to bear it any longer.”
