"Devil Chip" Director's Essay
This is a 26-episode 572-minute newspaper clipping, which needs the whole film crew to work hard for two years.
Thanks to the screenwriter Ling Shu for providing us with a well-structured, ups and downs script with a certain depth and strength. During the whole shooting process,
We have firmly grasped the following aspects.
First, the style positioning
Some people say that this is a science fiction film, because the beginning of the film is the vast universe, the vast starry sky, the patrol boat crash and the rescue boat rescue. Just visiting,
Electronic vortex, laser gun, dreamer, chip, virus and other scientific terms run through. Some people say this is an absurd story. People in the 22 nd century entered the Millennium.
Before the Tang Dynasty, young people in the future met Tang Priest and his disciples in The Journey to the West's stories. Our positioning of this story is: science fiction is strong and not rigorous.
Science fiction movies in the sense; There is a bizarre plot, but it is not absurd. As far as its ideological connotation is concerned, it should be positioned as a philosophical film. With this positioning, our shadow
Movies can talk about "science" without being "scientific", thus getting rid of the shackles of pure "science fiction".
Second, the theme.
The story revolves around the devil chip and the angel chip. In the struggle between the pros and cons to find and compete for two chips, the theme of this film is: we
There is a beast (magic) and an angel (humanity) in everyone's heart. If we allow the vicious development in our hearts, we will overwhelm human nature (goodness).
), you will become a bad person. Similarly, if we constantly develop the human nature in our hearts, we will overcome the evil nature and become a good person. Green treasure, Tang Priest, Bajie and Sha in the film.
Monks, Hong Haier, hooligans, cows, Bai, etc. have all changed after being touched with devil chips or angel chips, which all illustrate the above theme.
Third, the characters
As the theme says, everyone has both good and evil aspects. Therefore, both positive and negative characters are more or less different from them.
On the contrary, the other side of personality is just not easy to show.
Take several main characters as examples:
Green child: A computer prodigy in the 22nd century, with careless fighting spirit, will cry like an ordinary girl in desperation.
Brain-splitting demon: computer virus demon, evil and arrogant, wants to dominate the universe and is good at calculation, but sometimes he makes mistakes and miscalculations.
Tang Priest, Bajie and Friar Sand: People familiar to the audience have their own distinct personalities, and the changes that have taken place after being controlled by the demon core need us.
Grasp it carefully.
After being touched by the devil, the Tang Priest lost his nature, wavered and regretted learning the scriptures, and exchanged the cassock for the fake scriptures, hoping to get what he wanted.
When I return to Chang 'an, I won't have to go to the Western Heaven to suffer. I even want to go to Xiliang's daughter country for a holiday. It can be seen that Tang Priest, a great man, also has secular desires, but
Usually restrained. When he returned to normal, he regretted his gaffe very much. He said with infinite emotion: "I still have an evil side in my heart." I think.
It is still a long way to reach the realm of truth, goodness and beauty! "His change and repentance are enlightening to people today.
After Bajie was contaminated with a bad chip, his original shortcomings were infinitely magnified. He wants to wear famous brands, eat human flesh, and even try the Tang monk meat. He treats bones as bones.
As a "beauty", she turned against Friar Sand and fought. "If I kill the Tathagata in the future, I will order all the monks to eat meat and get it from my wife.
These are the inevitable results of his usual bad habits.
When Friar Sand went bad, he plundered the young monk and damaged the Buddha statue. Finally, he claimed to be the leader of the cult, claiming that the end of the world had come and he was the only savior. These,
It should be understood as the rebellion of the usually repressed character.
Look at Hong Haier. Because of the psychological distortion caused by parents' divorce, not only Tang Priest and Green Baby were arrested, but also they claimed to kill them.
Get rid of all adults and build a world with only children. It is the "magic" of the bad chip that leads the boy's problem to the extreme and becomes a demon. The angel chip is back.
Thanks to his love, he became a lovely boy.
In short, grasping the "degree" of character change and making this "change" credible is an important part of repeatedly strengthening the theme. If we ignore everyone's original personality foundation, become "bad" and dominate one side, and do evil, it will make the characters have thousands of people, which is boring and contrary to the theme. The script provided us with a pole.
If you have a good foundation, you must focus on it in the film.
Fourth, handle several relationships well.
We strive to make this film a work with ornamental, entertaining and philosophical ideas, and strive to attract audiences and improve ratings.
Rate.
1, trying to seek the rationality of plot development and avoid randomness. If this problem is not handled well, the audience will think it is made up and will not watch it again. such as
Devil chip (or angel chip) has been touched on people many times: in Tang Priest's hat, in Friar Sand's shoes, in Hong Haier's shawl, in a white bun.
, even in pig ears and so on. The first two times can still make people believe that many times people think that man-made traces are too heavy and fake, but we must erase this trace.
It's not easy. How to explain the chip "say and leave", we thought of the sentence "flies don't stare at seamless eggs", since everyone has "magic power"
"Sex" and "humanity", "bad" chips may find you at any time, demonize you and become a "bad" person, and vice versa. Therefore, we don't have to worry about "bad" nuclear.
How to find a very natural and appropriate reason for the film (or good chips) to stick to the people in the play can arrange "bad" chips according to the needs of the plot (or
Good chip) for you. We mainly describe the process in which the angel chip was wrapped around Niu Wangmo and finally got into his hat, and added "Good things come to you, don't return them".
The narrative of "no" emphasizes "seeking" rather than "cleverness", and the original unreasonable plot becomes "reasonable".
2. Try to improve the interest of characters' language and avoid boring preaching. In this film, modern people are very similar to the ancients.
Encounter, regardless of ideological basis, knowledge, living habits and so on, will collide with sparks,
Attract the audience. The screenwriter also endowed the ancients with things they had never done before, and said things they had never said before, which seemed barren.
It makes sense to think about it. For example, Tang Priest kept learning foreign languages on the way to learn from the scriptures. Foreign cultural exchange, no
How can I understand a foreign language? It's just that from beginning to end, I always see him say "Yes". No "and learned nothing.
Go in, savor, and have some fun. Another example is the land god, who speaks Mandarin with a northeast accent.
Instead, it appeared in the area of the Flame Mountain, with selling fake chips as the "second occupation". People get it from him, for example
You can almost find a certain kind of people today. Our task is to use and strengthen these wonderful pens.
, and strive to make the language of the characters more vivid, humorous, and sometimes a little fun and banter, but absolutely
Don't engage in vulgar tastes. The dialogue in this play is very heavy, so try to make it vivid, smooth and rich.
The sense of substitution is an important aspect to attract the audience.
3. Strive to improve the overall level of production and avoid roughness and rigidity. It takes two years to make this film, and time is extremely tight. On the one hand, we
It is necessary to ensure the timely completion of the task, but also to ensure the artistic quality, in order to retain the audience, to avoid rough production and dull movements.
This task is more severe than ever. Our crew members are only half of those in their heyday, and the production tasks are twice as high as those at that time. The difficulty is self-evident. In addition to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the whole team and cultivating a group of new forces, relying on scientific and technological progress is the key. First of all, we should reform the means of drawing and use computers.
Scan printing replaces hand painting to ensure the speed and quality of word-making. In order to improve our shooting, the factory leaders changed the film shooting to computer shooting.
Shooting speed and action quality provide technical support. This film shows a lot of modern technology, strangeness, and the whole scene of fire and underwater drama, which
Special effects technology is the weakness of China's art films and the shortcoming of paper cutting. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the stunt shooting method, develop computer stunts and enhance the sense of the picture.
Authenticity, novelty and sense of strength are the key to the success or failure of this film.
It is necessary to change the bad habit of emphasizing the middle stage and neglecting the late stage, and attach importance to post-production. No matter how good the picture is, if
A line, even if the tone is inappropriate, will make the content of the film unclear and even inconsistent with the original intention.
Come back. Our movie, we can't fall on the finish line.
With the concerted efforts of Qi Xin, all the creative staff, all departments worked together to make the film go smoothly as scheduled.
After completion, the overall quality of the whole film reaches the expected effect. Looking at the whole film, there are also shortcomings because time is tight.
And other factors, the picture of the film is not fine enough, the color is not ideal enough, and some stunts sometimes
Suddenly, you can do better. These all need to be continuously improved in the future.
