Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 166 Wrap-up (4/4)

A new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story"... Wilson Yip took on this project, probably because he wanted to give it a try!
Then I found that I couldn't move forward.

Because Xu Ke's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has taken the character structure to the extreme!
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are loners.

Ning Caichen is a "good-for-nothing" scholar who lives in troubled times with a pure heart. Even if he hadn't been desperate and taken refuge in Lanruo Temple, his kindness and innocence would have already thrown him to the far end of the world.
Nie Xiaoqian is also a loner, standing alone and upholding her conscience amidst the bloodthirsty demons and ghosts around her...

Their love story is a dazzling flower blooming in the desert!

Yan Chixia is actually a lonely person. Because he is tired of the world, he lives in seclusion in Lanruo Temple. He said that he likes the world of ghosts because it is clear and distinct, while the human world is too complicated, which echoes the theme of the film.

The character structure of these three is difficult to change.

What should I do?
Add selling points and let Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia have a love story that spans past and future lives!

Then the whole story got messed up...

Of course, the main difference is the difference between Wilson Yip and Xu Ke...

That was Xu Kezhen's peak period - the sky was covered with frost over the ten-mile-long lake, and every inch of her black hair was filled with worry about her youth; she looked at each other alone under the moon, envying only the mandarin ducks and not the immortals!

By the way, in Li Hanxiang's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story," there's this line: "Ten miles of flat lake, green all over the sky, the jade hairpin secretly cherishes the prime of life. If only a rain cover could protect us, we would only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals."

They are all of the same origin!
Not only does Wilson Yip's version lack such poetry, but even the dialogue is quite dull!

However, everyone was complaining about Liu Yifei, so Shen Yan said something fair: "In fact, Liu Yifei's temperament is more suitable for Yingning, cold and aloof..."

"Yingning is?"

"It's also a story from 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio'. Cai Junru played the role in 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio 2' before!"

“…I haven’t seen it…”

"The story of 'Yingning' is uninteresting. She loves to laugh, but then gets into trouble and stops laughing... It's like Pu Songling's expression of his pursuit of ideal human nature and his criticism of the feudal ethics that suppress human nature."

"don't know…"

"That's why I said it was boring...Okay, time to get to work!"

……

There are quite a lot of movies released recently, including "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Guan Yu" and of course "Warring States"!
The movie "Warring States" directly labeled Jing Tian as a shameful person.

The real protagonist of this play is the heroine Tian Xi, and everyone else is there to serve her.

Sun Honglei, Wu Zhenyu, Kim Hee Sun, Jiang Wu... are all used as foils!

In a sense, "Warring States" is very similar to "Red Cliff" - everyone serves Xiao Qiao.

Honestly, compared to all the bad movies that came after, "Warring States" is just mediocre. The biggest problem is the unclear character motivations and pacing. The next scene may have little to do with the previous scene. It feels like the movie wants to express something, but unfortunately it ultimately makes no sense...

All I can say is that some people make movies to entertain the audience.

Some people make movies just to make the heroine happy!
Everyone will be rewarded and have a bright future.

Let’s be honest, aren’t “A Chinese Ghost Story” and “Guan Yu” bad?

They're all fucking shit, why are they all focusing on complaining about "Warring States"?
If you say there is nothing behind this, even a fool won’t believe you!
The three movies are all bad in their own ways... I won't talk about "A Chinese Ghost Story" anymore. In "Guan Yunchang", he fought through five levels and killed six generals, but his Green Dragon Crescent Blade was broken...

——In the military camp, Guan Yu was changing the dressings for the wounded soldiers.

Cao Cao: Yunchang, help me kill someone.

Guan Yu: Who to kill?
Cao Cao: General of Yuan Shao’s army, Yan Liang!
Guan Yu: If we kill him, will we no longer have to fight?
Tsk tsk, just like the gangsters, they think they don’t have to fight anymore after killing one person.

To be honest, after seeing this passage, I was really afraid that Guan Yu would say: You are finished, Yan Liang!

Qu Yi: Don’t do anything rash, or I will beat you to death!

Gongsun Zan: Are you trying to scare me? Who are you? Since the big guys can't come forward, are you asking the little guys to take over? Call Yuan Shao out!

Yuan Shao: Damn you! This is how we do things!

Ha ha…

Even Zhen Zidan couldn't stand watching "Guan Yunchang" - when asked about the worst role he had ever played, he said "Guan Yunchang".

"I don't understand the Three Kingdoms at all. Guan Yu is most famous for his beard. I shaved it off and fell in love with my sister-in-law. This is challenging the audience's bottom line!"

In short, the film market at the end of April is full of bad movies!
Oh, and the filming of "My Girlhood" is also nearing completion. ...

In the park, sitting on a rattan chair, Shi Shi was wearing headphones and listening to Shen Yan's message:

"Even though you're short and clumsy and like other boys, even so, I still like you very much...

After listening to this recording, Lin Zhenxin, please look up at the sky. That way I will know that the girl I like is looking at the same sky as me... Lin Zhenxin, I like you!

In the camera, she raised her head and looked at the starry sky...

A string of tears welled up in the corners of my eyes...

"Click..."

Guo Fan stood up from behind the monitor: "This one passed!"

Then Sha Weiqi also shouted: "Okay, we're done..."

Shen Yanze walked forward, hugged Shi Shi who was crying non-stop, and whispered to comfort her: "Don't cry, this is just a movie!"

Ji Xiang held the loudspeaker and said, "Everyone, please clean up the place first. We've prepared a barbecue, come and eat... We have everything you want... Don't leave until you're drunk tonight!"

"understood!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come!"

While the staff quickly cleaned up the scene, they took the time to reply...

I originally wanted to find a restaurant for everyone to have a meal and hold a wrap-up party.

Forget it. The entire crew has less than 80 people. We can just set up a few barbecue grills in the park and have an open-air BBQ.

I even brought a portable jukebox—Shen Yan was definitely going to sing a few songs...

I chose a suburban park. This place is quite beautiful. Its most striking feature is probably its pristine rural scenery. There is no over-packaging or deliberate design. It is the most authentic Jiangnan countryside...

Of course, the crew didn't come here just for fun, so they headed straight to the open-air area for barbecue...

Two hours later, everyone sat on the ground in a circle.

There are three barbecue grills, the ingredients are very fresh, and there are a lot of seafood...

Prawns, squid, oysters, abalone...

There is also a big pot, after all, it needs several people to cook!

When the food was almost served, Shen Yan stood up:

"I'll have three drinks first, thank you all for your support over the past forty days!"

I picked up the cup and drank three...

For beer, drinking it from a box is no problem!

"it is good!"

A group of people clapped and laughed, and also raised their cups to drink together...

Wine is a panacea. After everyone drank it, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

In fact, in general, in such occasions, everyone is very serious, and the crew is relatively well-organized...

The producer, director, etc...

However, the crew of "My Girlhood" is basically composed of young people, and they don't care much about these things!
But there must be a boss!
As for the crew, it is impossible to manage democratically because there is not enough time!

For example: If a scene starts shooting around nine in the morning, the crew will often arrive at the location at five or six in the morning to start preparations.

For the crew, eighty percent of the day's filming is preparation.

During the early preparations, the general direction has all been decided (director, photography, art, etc.), and then each group will discuss it in detail (photography and lighting discuss lighting, etc.). When it comes to the actual shooting stage, everyone on the set is following the plan.

If everyone has their own opinions, then forget about finishing the shoot in the allotted time!

Shen Yan is undoubtedly the boss of the "My Girlhood" crew.
