my gilded age

Chapter 369: Find faults and look for similarities

A play within a play.

It turns out that this whole movie is a movie called "I (Actress)", which is a movie within a movie. In short, this method is very interesting.

At this point, it should be over. At the end, it has turned into a studio, and you can notice that the people who died before, the director, Xiao Tongtong, and even Huang Xiaoming, all appeared, so this should be It's over.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it is quite interesting that such a plot constantly surprises people.

but.

There was no ending song or cast on the big screen. Instead, Wan Xiaoqian came to the window amidst the cheers of celebration.

Her shadow appeared on the window in the dark night, and her shadow smiled at her again...

Finally, finally it's over.

clap clap clap!
I was ready to applaud, but I was still holding it in before, until I knew I could hold back that last smile. No matter if it was the end or not, the entire plot design of the movie, as well as other aspects, especially the actors' All performances deserve applause.

But after all, it is the Berlin International Film Festival, and now it is the entry stage, and the judges need to be respected enough, and they need to have a unique passage to leave.

However, it seems that the judges are not in a hurry, especially Jia Huasi.

Jia Huasi was asking Shuqi through the translator. He actually wanted to ask Bai Shiqiu, the creator of the film. Although he also noticed that there were other names in the screenwriter and director columns, the one that appeared the most was Bai Shiqiu.

"Is the name of the director in the film the name of the fat guy in the film?"

This question was really weird, but the translator still passed it on to Shuqi.

Shuqi was also surprised, but she could only answer truthfully: "No."

But she then added, "They are all named Bai, and Bai Shiqiu is indeed a famous movie star in China, and he is also the boss of this movie."

Jia Huasi smiled after hearing this, nodded without saying anything.

Shu actually couldn't help it, so she asked through the translator, "Sir, is this important?"

Jia Huasi said with a smile: "This movie reminds me of a previous movie called "Adapted Screenplay."

After saying that, Bendang took the first step. Shuqi looked a little overwhelmed, but she had no choice but to follow, and the jury and the others walked out.

Now that the premiere is here, of course it’s time for interviews or questions from film critics.

The creator of "Me" took to the stage, ready to take on the challenge.

By the way, Qianqian has experienced a lot of big and small battles, but this time, she was inexplicably nervous. She was holding Bai Shiqiu, and her palms were all sweaty.

"You got wet so quickly?" Bai Shiqiu felt it, so he teased.

Qianqian was so angry that she twisted and said, "Old Bai, you bad guy. This time, I, I..."

She couldn't go on, because in this movie, Qianqian is the absolute heroine, and she has a lot more scenes than in the previous "Hello Madman". In fact, just the name of this movie can tell that " Actress", it can basically be regarded as her one-man show.

Taking the leading role on her own, and at such an internationally renowned film festival, it's no wonder she wasn't nervous.

"Sister." Aiya could naturally see the pressure on Sister Qianqian, "Anyway, just blame Lao Bai for everything."

This move is indeed powerful. Qianqian smiled after hearing it and said, "Just do it."

Bai Shiqiu was not far away, and she was really... happy and smiling.

Needless to say, with so many media reporters coming here, they are like bombers, especially the domestic reporters. There are too many questions, and they are relatively gossip.

"Bai Shiqiu, is Hongxing planning to push Qianqian this time?"

"Qianqian will be the first sister of Hongxing?"

"Yes, Qianqian's strength is obvious to all, but she still seems to be lacking some..."

This is pretty good, especially when someone asked simply: "Bai Shiqiu, how is your rumored girlfriend Mu Xiaomi doing lately?"

Fuckfuckfuck...

Bai Shiqiu's heart ran through countless alpacas.

But Qianqian felt more relaxed, "Don't make random guesses, Mu Xiaomi is still very cute, and she has a good relationship with me."

Faced with gossip, she was more comfortable with it.

The most disturbing thing about this scene is Fang Binbin.

Although Fang Binbin knew that Qianqian played the leading role in this movie, and it was also called "Actress", but who would have thought that such a leading role would be played, this movie was made for Qianqian.

Even Baek Shi-qiu's appearance in the movie was such a self-destructive one, so fat and coquettish... Damn, I really wanted to laugh.

Fang Binbin really couldn't stand it anymore, she was a little sad, if there was such a man, it would be great to treat her like this.

Of course, the key is to have talent, not to make a movie for her casually, just this "I (Actress)" is really thoughtful and thoughtful.

Another question came to mind. Qianqian must be Bai Shiqiu's woman, and Aiya next to her must not be able to escape. However, there is no conflict between the two of them. This... bastard!
Let's go, let's not see them showing off their affection.

Unlike Fang Binbin's departure, Wang Xiaoshuai turned into a film critic and asked a rather pointed question.

"Bai Shiqiu, the method of your film should be to copy... from the American "Adapted Screenplay", right?"

The movie "Adapted Screenplay" has been mentioned again, so what kind of movie is this?

In 2003, there was a movie called "Adapted Screenplay". This movie was very interesting. The screenwriters were Charlie Kaufman, two brothers, Donald Kaufman and Susan Orlin. There is a key point in this. , is this "Adapted Screenplay", which is adapted from Susan Orlin's novel, "The Orchid Thief".

In the movie, the story between Charlie Kaufman, Donald Kaufman, and Susan Orlin, that is, the entire story technique, is indeed somewhat similar to this "I".

But the actors are not the screenwriters, but Nicolas Cage plays the Kaufman brothers, who plays two roles, and Orlin is played by Meryl Streep.Another most interesting thing is that Nicolas Cage gained weight in order to star in this movie... This is very similar to Baek Shi Qiu's behavior.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoshuai wanted to accuse him of plagiarism, but he changed his tune temporarily.

You know, there is a reason why Wang Xiaoshuai is so anxious. This "Adapted Screenplay" is a small-cost film. Although it did not win any major awards that year, it won three well-known awards at the Berlin Film Festival, Golden Globe Award, and Oscar. On the stage, there are all finalists and some achievements.

Although it didn't win a major award, the quality of the film was still very good, or to put it simply, this play-within-a-play technique was very creative, and many people later imitated it.

Wang Xiaoshuai felt threatened.

Faced with Wang Xiaoshuai like this, Bai Shiqiu laughed and said: "Brother Wang, don't be anxious. Think about it carefully. Does the story in my film have anything to do with "Adaptation of the Script"? As for the techniques, they are also different. Of course, if you have to say it, feel free, I, Bai Shiqiu, don’t mind.”

As soon as these words came out, the subtext was...

What can you do to me?
Wang Xiaoshuai was so angry, "Okay, no more, no more."

Turn around and leave.

Wang Xiaoshuai also knew in his heart that Bai Shiqiu was right. The story had nothing to do with it, and the method... was actually different.

I can honestly say that of these two movies, "I" can at most borrow some ideas from "Adaptation of the Screenplay", nothing more, they are very different. If this is considered plagiarism, no one in the world will be clean. And human beings don't make any inventions.

However, Wang Xiaoshuai was depressed because the story of his movie really did not follow any of the previous films... It was a little bit different, but after all, it was still very different.

He felt that he was absolutely original, so he couldn't help asking Bai Shiqiu for it. This is human nature, especially at the moment when the two sides are still in the stage of competition.

Many film critics present suddenly remembered after what Wang Xiaoshuai said.

Yes, it was four years ago that "Adapted Screenplay" appeared in Berlin and almost won the Golden Bear. After watching the movie just now, film critics thought it was still very fresh, but now they have come to think about it.

"Mr. Bai Shiqiu, have you plagiarized "Adapted Screenplay"?" The person who spoke unceremoniously was Maria Garcia Gucinotta, who had previously appeared in "007: The Last Day" , but in recent years I have mainly been doing film reviews.

However, as soon as this question came up, some people couldn't stand to listen.

"This "Actress" and "Adapted Screenplay" are basically two movies. Why do you have to bring up plagiarism? This is ridiculous, you know? At most, it is a tribute to the previous masterpiece, that's all ." The person who retorted also had some reputation. His name was Aki Quaresmaki. He was over 50 years old and he was a theater geek from Northern Europe.

Bai Shiqiu didn't really know this middle-aged man, so he thought his eyes were funny. However, since he spoke uprightly, he still smiled in return.

Gucinotta and Quaresmaki, a woman and a man, were not close to each other at first, but for some reason, they became tit for tat.

"What are you talking about? Don't you know this is plagiarism?"

"Plagiarism? Are you crazy, woman?"

This is interesting. It seems that the two of them have had a feud before. After all, one is a film maker and the other is an amateur film critic who likes to make random remarks.

The scene is very interesting, but fortunately, our premiere is coming to an end, so everyone should maintain their grace.

However, it is interesting that "I (Actress)" can cause such a quarrel. It is definitely a hot topic.

The reporters are very happy and know how to write articles.

It seems that the whole world actually likes to watch fights... Bai Shiqiu can probably guess what happened next.

But of course he, Lao Bai, would not do anything to stop it. You know, it is good to have hot spots, but I am afraid that there are no hot spots.Of course, Bai Shiqiu still has the experience of the Cannes incident. He will be careful not to let too many people praise our film.

The more you blow, the faster you die.

The most hyped film in Berlin right now is a British film called "Carefree."

Bai Shiqiu has watched this movie. To be honest, it is a good movie. Bai Shiqiu currently thinks that her biggest opponent should be her.

However, Qianqian is of course the one who cares most about plagiarism.

When I got back to Prom Hotel, I couldn't wait to ask.

"Lao Bai, is there any plagiarism problem?"

"Qianqian, haven't you watched "Adapted Screenplay"?" Bai Shiqiu was a little puzzled, Qianqian is acting a little strange now.

"I, I've seen it, but..."

Qianqian said so, but Aiya raised her hand at the right time, "I haven't seen it."

Like a little friend who admits his mistakes.

Hahaha……

The three of them couldn't help laughing. This was really cute.

However, Bai Shiqiu simply said it and reassured the two wives.

"Don't worry, if this is considered plagiarism, then it's really unreasonable. The film industry all over the world should close down and no one should make any more films, because there must be similarities with previous films..." It must be said that the old Bai was telling the truth, but he still explained it, "Actually, if I really want to borrow from it, I borrowed more from an anime called "Mima's House"."

Wei Ma's house?
The two wives started to look for this animation, but after looking at it, they found that the difference is also very big, and the other thing is... Wow, are all animations so bold?

What does this guy like Lao Bai usually look at? He is so shy.

But in fact, Bai Shiqiu didn't say everything.

He not only borrowed from "Mima's House", he also borrowed from "Black Swan" and that "La La Land". Otherwise, even if Emma Stone bit him, he wouldn't He changed his mind so easily.

Regarding the so-called plagiarism, there is absolutely no such thing.

But sometimes, the development of things is very surprising...

　Thank you all for your support, thank you!
　　Well, original creation is more laborious, hehe... I apologize for being a little late.
