Chapter 127 tit for tat 【Seeking monthly ticket】
The clip Wang Tie chose is a plot of the birth gift of wisdom. This plot is also the most classic content in Water Margin. There are exactly nine characters, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi, and everyone in Liangshan, the King of Tota Chao Gai, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, the Ruan Family Sanxiong and others.
A strong man came to his face, which was also the type that Wang Tie was best at. I don’t know if he had never filmed a costume drama. Although the heroes of Liangshan can be said to be bandits, in the plays directed by Wang Tie, there is a strange gangster smell.
The main plot of the story is that several people from Liangshan turned into passing merchants, and they drugged them in wine, which fascinated Yang Zhi and other groups of officers and soldiers who were escorting their birthday gifts.
But unexpectedly, it made the role of a gangster and a policeman fighting wits and courage, especially the lines of the characters in the play. Whether it was Wang Tie's director's request or the actor's own initiative, they were all translated into modern dialect, and their translation skills were not yet in place, and they had no original taste at all.
Bai Sun Rat Bai Sheng was originally pretending to be a passing businessman selling dates. He used the trick of trying to get and deliberately did not sell alcohol to the officers and soldiers under Yang Zhi. However, after Wang Tie's change, he felt like a gang was taking bribes.
Bai Sheng, the day mouse, said: "My dear officials, the weather is hot now. Do you want to try my best wine?"
The green-faced beast Yang Zhi: "You hawker is afraid that you are not a bad intention, so you have given us sweating medicine in the wine?"
Just when Bai Sheng was shocked, both of them were in charge, but they chuckled: "I'm afraid I don't dare to drug us if I give him some courage. Do you have the courage?"
Bai Sheng bowed and looked flattering, "The villain dared not, never dare."
The officers and soldiers laughed loudly, and then, under Yang Zhi's angry face, they started to drink around the wine barrel, but they didn't plan to pay after eating.
......
Xu Wenruo looked at the performance on the stage and shook his head gently. Without much change in the plot, Wang Tie brought a lot of private work, such as many elements of police and gangster films.
The cunning and humbleness of the gangsters and the corruption and incompetence of the police officers, of course, there is an honest protagonist who is powerless in the face of this phenomenon.
If it weren't for wearing a layer of skin from a hero in Liangshan, the core would be a genuine police and gangster film. After watching this clip, Xu Wenruo knew why so many people on the Internet would say that Wang Tie had been relying on his old capital. His directorial style was immersed in his own glory and he was unwilling to make changes at all.
Wang Tie may think that he could win unanimous praise from the audience with this trick, so now it is OK. As long as he replicates the old path of the past, he can succeed again.
Wang Tie's stubborn mind was not willing to think about one thing, that is, the audience's tastes will change, and no one would like the unchanging film and television style.
In fact, it cannot be said that Wang Tie did not realize this problem. He has tried to shoot many different types of movies in recent years, but just like short films on the stage, no matter how much it changes, the kernel has not changed.
Thanks to Wang Tie's many years of experience directing, although his short films are a bit strange, the overall plot is still relatively smooth, and the entire story of the birth gift is told in a complete way. Each actor's performance is also very serious.
After the nine actors on the stage performed, they stood in a row. Director Wang Tie was the first to get up from the comment seat and applaud. Judging from his proud expression, Wang Tie was still very satisfied with his work.
Others didn't know why Xu Wenruo was able to remain tough, so they began to pay attention to what works Xu Wenruo would bring. No matter what, they would eventually use the works to speak.
Amid the mechanical roar behind the stage, another set of scenes was moved to the front of the stage. This is Xu Wenruo's work, and Meng Da, Ning Jun and others were also ready on the stage.
Because of the professionalism of the program team, there was no problem with the props and costumes of the entire crew. However, as soon as Ning Jun appeared, the other three directors on the judges couldn't help frowning.
It’s not that Ning Jun’s Sun Wukong’s outfit is not similar, but that his movements feel a sense of exaggeration. Unlike the monkey spirit and monkey appearance of professional monkey actors, Ning Jun’s Sun Wukong is more like a careless person than a monkey.
The golden cudgel was placed on his shoulders, and he supported his hands on it. He walked and swayed, looking careless, and he did not have the momentum of the Monkey King, the Monkey King.
Ning Jun’s Sun Wukong is different from all previous versions, so it’s not a question that the other three directors frowned. For them who are already quite old and gradually fall into a fixed mindset, the image of Sun Wukong is really too deviant.
"Wukong, don't walk so fast. Your master can't keep up with you. You have to wait for us. It's easy for you to walk in front of you alone. Poor White Dragon Horse and Sha Seng have to pick so many things. They are very tired. Even if you don't feel sorry for your master, you have to feel sorry for Sha Seng and the White Dragon Horse."
"Hey, Wukong, don't sit on the grass, flowers and plants have life. You are pressing on these flowers and plants. They can't breathe anymore. If you can't breathe, you will die. I, Buddha, are merciful, you have converted to Buddhism and cannot kill. You are breaking the precepts."
As soon as Sun Wukong, played by Ning Jun, appeared, before everyone could react, Tang Seng played by Meng Da, appeared. He kept muttering, not to mention Wukong who was walking in the front, even Bajie and Sha Seng who followed Tang Seng were helpless.
Listening to Tang Seng's endless speech, Sun Wukong finally couldn't help but turn around and yell.
"I'm so annoying!"
"Wukong, it's not long before you get on the road, and you start to get upset about your teacher first. You have to know that you have to go through eighty-one difficulties on the way to obtain the scriptures. You have to be a little patient. The teacher said that you are all for your own good, and hope that you can understand the Buddha nature from it, otherwise it would be useless to obtain the true scriptures."
"Oh!"
Sun Wukong could not bear it anymore, so he shouted lightly, then left the clouds and mist, leaving Tang Monk and the other two in the same place. Seeing that there was no one in front of him, Tang Monk turned his head to look at Bajie Sha Monk. Bajie saw that the situation was not good, and his eyes turned and immediately remembered an idea.
"Master, I'll call my senior brother back. Don't worry, I'll come when I go."
"Oh, Wujing, look at Wukong and Bajie, they are both tired of being a teacher, but why don't they understand the good intentions of being a teacher? Only Wujing is the most considerate and can listen to the teacher's teachings patiently. Alas, if they look like this, they can protect their teacher from obtaining the true scriptures."
Sha Seng touched his head. Even though he didn't say anything, his expression on his face showed a speechless look.
Seeing this, the other three directors on the comment seat frowned even more. They had seen the performance of Sun Wukong played by Ning Jun before, and they thought it was the actor's personal problem, so they seemed so exaggerated. However, after watching this whole performance, they found that it was not the actor who was exaggerating, but the whole drama.
So they turned to look at Xu Wenruo after watching the short film on the stage. They didn't know what cards Xu Wenruo wanted to play and what was going on.
However, as the plot progresses, the style of the entire short film becomes more and more outrageous. Looking at the white bone demon who is posing on the stage and Tang Monk who wants to talk about life and ideals with the demon, the three of them seem a little at a loss.
What exactly is this? Journey to the West can still be adapted like this? Isn’t this a waste of the classic?
However, Director Wang Tie sneered as he looked at it, and his frown also stretched out. It was indeed difficult for him to accept this form of expression. However, when he thought that this was Xu Wenruo's work, he could make such a rebellious short film, Director Wang Tie had a lot to say next.
Wang Tie has already thought about it. He will definitely make Xu Wenruo unable to come to Taiwan later. The villain will not take revenge overnight. Xu Wenruo was caught by him, and Wang Tie will not give up this opportunity easily no matter what.
Xu Wenruo also felt the strange eyes of the other three directors. He was calm and his expression was still very calm, not moved by the outside world at all.
The short film adapted by Xu Wenruo is not just as simple as exaggeration. Behind the exaggeration is the story. The core of the story after Xu Wenruo's adaptation is not to learn from the scriptures, but to focus on Sun Wukong, a transformation between the two identities of the eldest disciple of Tang Monk Sun Wukong and the Monkey King.
The exaggerated tone and plot are all from other characters, but the protagonist of the story, Sun Wukong, is incompatible with this exaggerated world.
Facing the charming White Bone Demon, Sun Wukong was unmoved at all and directly killed with a stick.
Faced with Tang Seng's doubts, Sun Wukong did not have any extra explanation. When the White Bone Demon appeared again, the person who waited for her was still a wake-up call.
Even though he was expelled by Tang Monk, Sun Wukong still left with his head high. His inner pride made him incompatible with the world. Perhaps because he had a pair of fiery eyes and could see through the various illusions in the world, he seemed arrogant and unlucky. Everyone was drunk, but he was alone awake.
After returning to Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong regained the title of Monkey King, but he was still depressed. When Bajie rushed to the Water Curtain Cave to invite the Monkey King out of the mountain but failed, and talked with the monkeys and monkey grandsons at the entrance of the cave about how majestic the Monkey King was, the Monkey King in the cave seemed extremely lonely.
As the plot deepened, Jiang Kai on the judges discovered that the short films shot by Xu Wenruo had such profound meaning. As a director of an art film, Jiang Kai quickly understood Xu Wenruo's intention to express it.
