Chapter 1037 Remember the past

In fact, the rise and fall of genre films are all closely related to the changes of the times—

The rise of science fiction movies is directly related to human exploration of space.

The rise of superhero movies is directly related to the exhaustion of the film industry’s original ability and the rise of Internet culture.

Likewise, the decline of romantic movies is directly related to the weakening of contemporary culture’s worship of love.

From another point of view, the emergence of sound films has led to the disappearance of silent films; the emergence of color films has led to the disappearance of a large number of black and white film practitioners… The times are always moving forward and changing, and the trend has also been ups and downs, including movies There have also been a lot of changes in cultural phenomena.

A century ago, a century later, there is a more distant future. This is an inevitable trend. It is precisely because of this that each era has its own cultural imprint.

Music and dance movies, too.

The once prosperous song and dance movie has long since declined. For half a century, it has gradually left the public’s attention and has become a niche genre that has been eliminated. It is now “tears of the times”.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

In the past ten years or so, Lanchuan has continued to have song and dance movies. For filmmakers, this is still a retro memory of the golden age. They still see wonderful song and dance movies, awaken their childhood or teenage memories, and re-taste them. The joys and sorrows of those years.

Occasionally, some song and dance movies can achieve good results, but on the whole, the decline of genre movies is all-round, and even the new generation of directors, choreographers, actors and other practitioners have lost the touch of song and dance movies. It’s hard to take pictures that are amazing.

In this regard, Blue Whale Pictures is no stranger to-

Action movies and thriller movies alike.

In the field of action genres, there are more and more computer effects and stand-ins, so that real martial arts instructors such as Hong Jiaban are gradually being eliminated. The direct result is that the martial arts design in action movies is getting rougher and worse The more routine, the more tedious it becomes, and the less exciting it is.

In the field of thriller genres, audiences are becoming more and more critical and mature, and ordinary horror or frightening sections can no longer achieve the scary effect. Therefore, more and more “jumping frights” are used in thriller movies. ” to create a horror effect, but it is getting rougher.

In the end, a vicious circle is formed. The decline in the quality of genre films leads to the unemployment of relevant professionals, which further leads to the inability to improve the quality of films, which directly affects word-of-mouth and box office. The audience further loses interest in genre films, and finally leads to the complete disappearance of genre films. .

It is against this background that the success of “unfriending” and “raiding” can trigger such a storm, because Lu Qian broke this closed loop.

Now, Lu Qian is aiming again… a song and dance movie?

After all, Ji Xu still knew Lu Qian. Although he felt the impact of the news, he did not immediately launch the attack in a hurry, but calmly thought about it.

In fact, in recent years, the “retro trend” has been blowing, which is somewhat similar to the fashion industry. “Fashion is a circle”. Every once in a while, things that were popular will reappear in a retro way, just like reincarnation. People always repeat the same self in different eras.

Movies, too.

Four years ago, a silent film “Golden Age” upset the top of the Golden Book Award for Best Picture. Although Wei Wei’s strong public relations ability is a direct result of the behind, it is undeniable that Lanchuan’s film practitioners have always been Miss the golden age of the past.

Fifteen years ago, the second song and dance movie “The Windy City” in history was upset and topped the Golden Book Award for Best Picture. That time had nothing to do with Wei Wei, but the current situation, because a war broke out on the far side of the ocean, breaking the The peace in the era of peace, so the short-lived joy and entertainment brought by song and dance movies has become a carrier for people to place their beautiful visions. The judges of the academy responded in this way.

And, of course, there’s the retro action movie frenzy led by “The Raid.”

Judging from the phenomenon, there are various reasons for these works to return to the line of sight, but in terms of the essence, in fact, just like the rise and fall of genre films, there is a direct effect of the entire social culture behind it, which is the same as fashion.” Retro” will come back eventually.

So, now Lu Qian has set his sights on singing and dancing movies again, is it because… like the echo, did Lu Qian see some secrets again?

Maybe, Lu Qian is ready to open a new retro wave again?

but!

However, although!

Ji Xu had countless thoughts surging in his mind, but he still couldn’t figure out how the song and dance movie came out, as if it came out of a crack in the stone.

No matter how he thought about it, he was still surprised and shocked. Even if he calmed down, it would not help. When he spoke again, Ji Xu seemed to be incoherent.

“…why?”

“I know, I understand, you are free to choose to shoot any type of film, and a song and dance film is not impossible, after all, it is not the first time.”

“but why?”

Seeing Ji Xu’s panicked appearance, Lu Qian was immediately amused and asked, “Why not?”

Ji Xu: …

“A Qian, you know what I mean, you don’t need to play language games with me.”

“Okay, I mean very simply, we shouldn’t limit our ideas, but try to break the frame, why can’t song and dance movies?”

Lu Qian also picked up his expression and stopped joking.

“Actually, song and dance movies are just a form of expression, and more importantly, this form of expression carries our love and support for movies~www.readmtl.com~ We have always said that film is an audio-visual art. Scheduling, picture composition, light and shadow changes, etc., and song and dance movies are just like that.”

“You should know that song and dance movies have very strict requirements on the actors’ body language and emotional communication. At the same time, they all put forward high requirements for the combination of picture and sound, the combination of plot and song and dance. It’s not difficult, but it’s not easy to make a good song and dance movie.”

“I wanted to try and see that when the audience sees the picture, they can really feel the flow of the melody, and then immerse themselves in it with the camera.”

“A movie that truly belongs to a movie.”

The words were a little abstract, but Ji Xu understood—

Don’t forget, Ji Xu is the real film major.

Ji Xu thought for a while, “You mean to go further on the basis of ‘Deadpool’?”

Lu Qian’s eyes lit up, “Yes, that’s it.”

When filming “Deadpool”, Lu Qian has been trying to capture the rhythm and rhythm in the picture with the camera, there is no doubt that this is an interesting attempt.

From action movies to song and dance movies, the two have one thing in common, that is, you must make full use of body language, and then feel the rhythm through the picture.

Imagine that when shooting a song and dance movie, you just record it with a panoramic or long-range view, and you can’t feel any rhythm in the picture at all. That is a very scary and very bad thing. Can feel the pulsation of blood.

If this is the case, then it makes sense. Lu Qian really hopes to go a step further and make some new attempts on the road of film creation.
