454. Alive
Both Ma Qingshan and Yang Long were in deep thought, while Chen Hanming and Lin Husheng were both a little sore.
These people are too cruel. For Chen Hanming and others, they don’t really know much about art or art. Most of the time, they actually look at the movie from the perspective of an audience.
Although their identities are different, in fact, if they eliminate the elements of their identities, they are also ordinary people.
So, after hearing the story of "To Live" mentioned by Wang Yifan, both of them looked at each other in a daze.
"Going the Wrong Car" is tragic enough? Is it a tragic thing for me to support my son but not to be with me, but at least, it still leaves some hope for people.
However, the story of "Living" is too desperate, and it can be said that people can hardly breathe. If it is in the category of commercial films, then obviously, such a movie is difficult to achieve any commercial achievements, because most people watch movies, which are spiritual entertainment, and tragedies can occur, but they must not give people any hope like "Living".
"Mirely, wonderful!" Just when Lin Husheng and Chen Hanming both felt that Wang Yifan and others were too cruel and thought that they were simply unreasonable, they heard Ma Qingshan applaud!
"Yes, Lao Ma, look, you have won so many awards, why don't you give this notebook to me?" Yang Long suddenly interrupted.
Before Ma Qingshan could react to Yang Long's words, Lin Husheng widened his eyes, looked shocked and annoyed. Why?
What a joke? Although Yang Long’s production is not high, this is a trump card from Huaxin. If Yang Long is really filmed like this kind of movie, wouldn’t it be a mess?
Isn’t it good for a box office of billions? Lin Husheng really doesn’t understand these people anymore. In his opinion, the story of "Living" mentioned by Wang Yifan, even if there are any commercial elements? It is desperate from beginning to end.
But Yang Long wants to make this movie? It definitely won’t work!
Fortunately, Lin Husheng didn't understand what charm "Living" is that Yang Long, the recognized number one in commercial films, was so excited that he even wanted to compete with Ma Qingshan, but Ma Qingshan understood it.
He could understand Yang Long's idea, winning awards and other things was nonsense. Although Yang Long made commercial movies, he won many awards.
However, "Living" is definitely something that anyone who pursues movies, especially those who pursue art, does not want to miss it.
The same is true for Yang Long.
But understanding is just understanding. If you give such a book to Yang Long? What a joke?
"Old Yang, stop talking, you still have to lose awards? Besides, are you sure you can shoot this movie?" Ma Qingshan looked at Yang Long with a sneer.
Chen Hanming and Lin Husheng were confused now. In their opinion, a movie like "Living" seems to be difficult, there is no special effect, it is a drama film. But why did Wang Yifan say that he couldn't shoot it before, and now Ma Qingshan says that Yang Long can't shoot it?
But in the end, Yang Long sat down with a little discouraged look and sighed, "Forget it, hey!"
"Haha! Yifan, I want this book! This trip is worth it, this trip is worth it!" Ma Qingshan said excitedly.
For directors of Ma Qingshan's level, they really don't have that strong desire for money. However, in life, directors like Ma Qingshan will probably find it difficult to encounter a script like "Living" in their entire lives, so it's no wonder he was so excited.
"Ahem, Director Ma, I sound very depressed and desperate. It seems that that's all?" Chen Hanming couldn't help asking. Even though he knew that he was just sending his face up to Ma Qingshan to beat him, he was indeed a little confused.
I don’t understand at all, what’s the best about this story and this script?
"I don't understand? Haha, it's right if I don't understand. It sounds like this story is very depressing, sad, and desperate, right? But these are actually just appearances."
"The name "Living" is well used, and one word points out the essence of the whole story! This story uses symbolic techniques, which seem to be repeating death and tragedy all the time, but in fact, it uses death to symbolize life.
In reality, few people may experience the pain of sending black-haired people to the black-haired people, and the fact that the white-haired people sending black-haired people away one by one may only be seen in novels or film and television works.
What is commendable is that the historical background of the story of "Living" was in a chaotic world of great change. Because of this background, the artistic story becomes real, and the truth will make people believe that not only has living blessings in the world, but there will be many more in the future.
The recurrence of death not only brings a huge blow to the characters' minds, but also brings unexpected shock to the audience. This story embeds the repeated deaths in daily trivial life, amplifies the breadth and depth of "suffering", and makes small and weak characters face huge differences in power formed by the huge "suffering", thus creating a strong sense of destiny.
At the same time, it also amplifies the shining spiritual power of the characters, thus making the whole work full of artistic tension. The repetition of death in the work, except for the death of Fugui's father, mother, and wife Jiazhen, there are reasonable factors, and the deaths of other characters are all accidental: the son Youqing died of excessive blood draw, the daughter Fengxia died of having children, the son-in-law Erxi died of construction accident, and the grandson Kugen died of beans. In the end, all of Fugui's relatives died one by one, leaving him, an old man and an old ox who was also old, and living so optimistically and open-mindedly, completely unexpected.
Through these unexpected repetitions of death, this story further demonstrates the meaning and commendability of living."
Ma Qingshan analyzed it and to be honest, Wang Yifan actually didn't like this story very much, because no matter what, this story is really too heavy, but from an artistic perspective, Ma Qingshan's understanding is indeed the most rare essence of this story.
But for Lin Husheng and Chen Hanming, they were still a little confused.
Lin Husheng even wanted to ask, which eye did you see Fugui being optimistic and open-minded?
Is that living in despair okay?
And, where is it true? Shouldn’t the real one commit suicide because of despair?
But no matter what, Ma Qingshan may not have a very accurate vision in commercial movies, but literary and artistic movies, Ma Qingshan's words, are synonymous with authority.
At least, it shows that this story and script are indeed in line with his appetite.
Anyway, when Ma Qingshan and Huaxin collaborate on filming, what Huaxin needs is not box office, but reputation, but influence.
These are enough!
