Chapter 148 Comedy Is Not Good (3/5)
I remember a line from "Soldier Assault" that Xu Sanduo said to Chengcai: "Life cannot be too comfortable, if it is too comfortable, there will be problems!"
Many successful people hope to have more beautiful women. This is desire, and desire is unavoidable. This should be something that respects nature.
Everyone has desires, and so is Lu Xiaoran…
But there is a saying: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, gentleness, respect, humility and humility!
In many cases, every word and action of public figures will have a certain impact on society. People have moral rule of law to restrain their behavior and cannot do whatever they want to become slaves of desire...
Kant has long said: In this world, there are two things that are worth looking forward to for the rest of our lives: one is the bright starry sky above our heads, and the other is the noble moral law in people's hearts!
This moral norm is not just about cheating, affair, etc.
It also includes many times you know you have been morally kidnapped, but you still have to do it!
We have high requirements for celebrities: the Supreme One establishes morality, then makes meritorious, and then makes words.
Mencius once said, "Dogs eat people without knowing the examination, and they are covered with hungry horses without knowing the hair." This means that people should not eat what animals eat. Kings and rich people have the responsibility to provide relief to the victims, rather than shifting the responsibility to the famine.
Therefore, when disasters occur, we will ask the rich and famous to donate more money...
When a person is morally kidnapped, it means that the person has moral responsibility, but the law may not stipulate it.
In accordance with kidnapping, a person will have a good reputation, which will bring potential benefits to people; resisting kidnapping will be overwhelmed by public opinion every minute.
The morals determined by saints only need to be followed.
Plato said that wisdom and virtues have enabled King Pharaoh to make the best choice for the community, while the rest only need to follow without expressing their opinions.
Of course, if it is just a wishful Virgin sentiment of a few people, then we will firmly resist it.
Regardless of whether you admit it or not, Lu Xiaoran is already a celebrity...
Apart from not daring, sometimes, he really admires some directors and actors from the bottom of his heart. Why do you think they are so energetic?
Just be energetic, you still have time!
Lu Xiaoran has only two movies this year, one TV series, or the TV series will start work at the end of the year, and he feels too busy to be busy. In this case, are there any hidden rules?
...
Logically speaking, "Nightclub" has been released for twenty days, and the arrangement of exclusive interviews at this time is of little significance to the increase in box office.
But Lu Xiaoran really wants to talk about "Nightclub"...
During this period, he rejected many magazines and media interviews. The reason is very simple. On the one hand, he is still dealing with the later stage of "Saving Mr. Wu". On the other hand, telling the truth at that time is likely to have an impact on the reputation of "Nightclub"...
Why do I need to answer an exclusive interview with NetEase?
People said the front page headlines...
The host is Huang Xinlei, and Lu Xiaoran has never heard of this person.
It is normal. The host who conducts online interviews at this stage is considered to be a non-mainstream in the hosting industry.
"This is our book, please take a look..."
She handed a page of manuscript paper, and Lu Xiaoran browsed it briefly, and immediately understood: "Okay, there's no problem!"
Huang Xinlei asked carefully: "Then can I add two sentences to compare "Slam Dunk"?"
"…Yes, "Nightclub" is about to be released anyway!"
...
Tangtang didn't come, she was going to meet her friend, who was exactly? Lu Xiaoran didn't ask...
Anyway, Tangtang is very obedient and doesn't know how to do hair...
Lu Xiaoran sat on the sofa, and the camera came over and didn't need to record the video, but he would take a few photos. This is a text interview!
"Then we start?"
"Um!"
Lu Xiaoran sat upright.
"The first question is, how did you evaluate "Nightclub"?"
"If you just talk about the movie, it is incomplete and the plot is very scattered. From an ordinary supermarket night shift mode, it has become someone coming to collect debts, and then it has developed into kidnapping and hijacking. Originally, as a comedy film, all comedy jokes should serve the plot, but the movie obviously has not been done well. It is equivalent to you originally wanting to hear an interesting and humorous story, but when the other party tells it, the story itself is very ordinary and boring, but he tells a completely unrelated joke from time to time to make you laugh."
"Although in the end, you laughed while listening to the story, it was not because you heard an interesting and humorous story, but because of that completely unrelated joke!"
“…So, don’t you watch this movie?”
"No, I like it very much, otherwise I wouldn't invest, let alone starring, and I've also brought in a bunch of good friends!"
"Why?"
"First of all, this is a single-scene comedy, the investment is very low, and as long as you choose the right actor, the probability of making a profit is very high!"
"Choose the right actor?"
"Yes," paused, and Lu Xiaoran continued: "Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, is the actor who I think is the most suitable for comedy in China and is the best at making comedy. Not everyone can do comedy!"
"How do you say this?"
"I have to be talented. Many actors have a funny face, acting skills, and comedy touch. I can't do it, so in "Nightclub", the little steel teeth I play in "Nightclub" are not funny!"
"Secondly, he has to be content with comedy. You know, comedy is very tiring and easily depressed. Comedians don't look like idols, and they are easily regarded as actors and are despised by them!"
"There is another point. When doing comedy, from jokes to creation itself, there is a party that is forced to sacrifice some dignity. Either self-deprecating, or he laughs. When he is in an open-minded social environment, the audience will think it is funny, but once the social environment changes, you are a person without sympathy!"
"This is how Teacher Zhao Benshan's "Selling Killers" is accepted by many people, but there are also a group of people who make fun of the disabled, which is inappropriate! When the latter remarks take the mainstream, Teacher Zhao Benshan becomes the target of criticism!"
"The truly funny jokes are all related to authority. For example, we criticize religion and satirize politics, but these two things cannot be done in China, so we can only make some vulgar materials. From this perspective, "Nightclub" is really a very good script!"
"Then why do you think Mr. Xu Zheng is suitable for comedy?"
"Because he understands comedy, many people say that the core of comedy is tragedy, which is correct in a sense, but if you add the word "classic comedy", it should be said that 'the core of classic comedy is tragedy'. There is a type of comedy in Hollywood, called shit and fart comedy, such as "Shocking Scream", "Ah Dai and Agua", and "The White-headed Detective" series. These movies have achieved very good box office results. So what do you think they want to reveal?"
"This idea has influenced many creators. In my opinion, "Nightclub" is just to make you laugh, but Yang Qing insists on adding a tragic ending..."
"The end of tragic?"
"He was going to arrange for the character I played to die, and Xu Zheng and I took turns to persuade him, so he changed it!"
"Take a turn to persuade?"
"He is the director after all, and he is the biggest on the scene. Even if we have any dissatisfaction, we have to give him some advice in private..."
"But you are also a director, an investor, and a producer..."
"But this is his movie. I have been a director. I know that newcomers want to be respected. If you have any objections, you can discuss them privately and should not be put on the table. This has a great impact on the director's authority!"
