Chapter 610 Reaching Venice

PS: I got stuck when uploading the last chapter, so I repeated it, and now the content has been revised into a new chapter.

Chapter 613: About "Predecessor Raiders"

It takes nearly 16 hours to fly from Shanghai to Venice by plane, and it takes even 18 hours for some with more layovers.

Zhou Xia, Tangtang and others took the Lufthansa flight, and it took them 19 hours to arrive at Venice Marco Polo Airport.

For such a long time on the road, apart from sleeping and resting, Zhou Xia spent most of his time watching movies, all of which were made by the company's new directors and hadn't been released yet.

Zhou Xia usually doesn't have much time, and he has to review these movies one by one, and then give some final adjustment opinions to avoid any trouble.

During such a long journey this time, I simply copied a few movies and watched them on the plane back and forth.

Among them, Tian Yusheng's "Predecessor Raiders" gave him the best impression.

In the end, the little fox did not appear in this movie. Of the four protagonists in the original movie, only Zheng Kai continued to experiment with the role of Yu Fei. For the other three characters, Meng Yun was played by Lin Gou, Xia Lu was played by Xiao Ai; Akane is played by Qing Zi.

Director Tian Yusheng has served as Zhou Xia's assistant director twice, and he has also filmed the movie version of "You at the Same Table". Compared with when he was filming this movie, he has much more experience. The current version is better than the original one. grade.

After all, after Tian Yusheng finished writing this book and perfected it with the screenwriting team, he even used it for Zhou Xia to pass the test.

Zhou Xia naturally raised some opinions, especially about the plot.

The first half of this movie is about the kidneys, and the second half is about the heart. In more common terms, the first half is one-night stand, love at first sight, and flash marriage, and the second half is about memories, reminiscences, letting go, knowing true love, and pursuing true love.

The entry point of the film, or the selling point is quite clear, which is aimed at urban men and women, and directly hits the weakness of love among most of them in the contemporary era-the ex!
As an urban-themed love movie, "Predecessor Raiders" is excellent in many places. Half of "Previous" is "lost the kidneys", with a lot of life-like jokes, focusing on "entertaining" people, and starting from "confidantes disappear before marriage", In the second half, he changed his mind, expressing "being in love is easy, getting along is too difficult" and "the ex is an indelible memory and the profound meaning of true love", in order to move people.

In addition, the lines are refined, the rhythm is appropriate, the setting of conflict points is reasonable, and the image technique is conventional but bright, such as the freeze frame of the girl's hand when the male lead is about to fall at the end of the film, and the memory of his ex is depicted with the effect of old film , and at the end, expressing reality in the same way is also a memory.

However, as a newcomer, Tian Yusheng's focus on the overall narrative control of the film was too scattered, some things that should be explained were not explained, and some unnecessary Internet jokes were a bit redundant.

Take the heroine Xia Lu as an example. She had a one-night stand with the hero Meng Yun and then fell in love until she got married. Compared with the normal heroines in general film and television dramas, the situation is a bit special, so it is more difficult to create a role.

"Predecessor Raiders" is also very unsuccessful in portraying the heroine. She is obviously the No. [-] heroine, but many people who have watched the movie even think that Rosie played by Wang Likun is the No. [-] heroine, and their impression of her is even stronger. profound.

This is of course related to Yao Xingtong's acting skills and image, etc., but the most important thing is that the character has not been portrayed well. People always feel that the incumbent is stingy, mischievous, and jealous. It is not a pity to break up in the end. Instead, they all look forward to the male lead. Meng Yun is with his classmate and confidant Rosie who has liked each other for many years.

The characterization is thin, which also led to the drunken confession at the wedding of the second female lead, and the big conflict struck. The audience naturally stood in line with the first male and the second female, which made the role of the first female quite embarrassing.

If a few shots are arranged in the early stage of the movie, and in the clip where the two people get along after a good night, some in-depth portrayal of the heroine will be made, then such problems will not happen later.

After reading the script, Zhou Xia made comments on all of these.

However, his biggest influence on the film is in the choice of characters.

Compared with the actor who played the leading role in the past, Lin Gou's acting skills are better now. At least he is from a major, and his lines are no problem. This is basically enough in idol love movies. After all, a handsome person can cover up a lot thing.

In addition, the heroine chooses Xiao Ai, who is more handsome and beautiful, which will also make the role of Xia Lu less petty, and the second female lead played by Qing Zi is also more suitable.

After the movie was released, many people complained about it. About Meng Yun and Luo Xi, the two were college classmates, they founded a company together, and they were together for eight years. When I got married, I secretly confided my heart while drunk in public.

Many people complained about this: There can be a pure friendship between a man and a woman, as long as one is beaten to death and the other pretends to be stupid to the end!
Needless to say, Rosie played by Wang Likun is majestic, gentle, intellectual, and beautiful. In every way, she is more attractive than Xia Lu played by Yao Xingtong. Coupled with the relationship with the male lead for eight years, these all lead to The female number two suppressed the female number one.

This is a big taboo for a film and television drama, it will make the story narrative messy, and the audience may even doubt the whole story.

So it is more reasonable for Zhou Xia to choose Qingzi to play this role. She is beautiful and firm, and her image will not hide the heroine Xiaoai. In terms of life, it may be a vigorous relationship, or it may be a plain stay together, mutual understanding, trust, and so on.

After watching the movie, the plane had already landed at Marco Polo Airport, but Tangtang couldn't help but said: "This movie is really good, I really regret not acting in it."

Tangtang was seated next to Zhou Xia, both of them were first-class passengers, so they could lie down and sleep. She and Zhou Xia also watched several unreleased movies along the way, feeling very refreshed.

Hearing Tangtang's words, Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing and said, "Is there any regrets, you are now a big star, and there is a coffee position there, it is not suitable to act in this kind of movie, and it will bring a lose-lose situation."

"Really, then why did you still persuade Little Fox to star in this movie?" Tangtang retorted.

"I, didn't I have no choice at the time, the little fox asked me to arrange a movie for him, I thought it was good, so I recommended it, but you, why didn't you act like her."

Not to be outdone, Zhou Xia asked back, at the beginning, he planned to let Little Fox play Xia Lu and Tangtang play Rosie, their ages were more appropriate, and he didn't think much about other aspects.

"Hehe, didn't you just say that I'm a loser in this movie, and that's why I quit. Okay, get ready to get off the plane."

Tangtang would not admit that it was because Little Fox decided not to participate. She felt that acting alone had too little influence, so she also withdrew.

"Okay, okay, let's get off the plane. In the past ten days or so, we can visit Italy and even take time to visit Europe!"

Zhou Xia packed up her belongings, stood up, and said expectantly.

After the opening of the film festival, he had nothing to do in the ten days before the award ceremony. Instead of returning to China and continuing to work, he might as well take the opportunity to travel to Italy or even other European countries.
