From "Big Short" to "Wild Hunter" to "Focus", it is really interesting to choose a script project.

Although this is not the first time that Lanli has done this, it feels completely different, not because of the quantity, but because Lanli can temporarily set aside his own considerations and just select projects with development potential, which is like a completely open vision. A whole new world is unfolding in front of you like this.

It's like opening a treasure.

If the selection of Oscar works is more or less framed and restrained, then it is even more interesting to select independent works of art outside of the academic department.

For example, the temperament and style are very close to the college department, but because of various reasons, the college ignores the works.

In a semi-documentary way, it presents the "Beast of Boundless" of the war in Africa, like a utopian "magic captain" who tells the relationship between mankind and society, and presents the "ghostly floating life" of the relationship between mankind and time in a minimalist story. The whole article is formed by dialogue but explores the "travel end" of the depth of life and art, and uses witty methods to tease the "Ms. Sloan" who exchanges the truth about the interests of Washington lobbyists.

The characteristics of these works are very unique. Although they are relatively mainstream and relatively academic, they have their own colors. They can be regarded as works worth chewing in the award season series. They can often bring unexpected surprises; but unfortunately, they are still Ignore it, and no one cares in the end.

For example, horror movies with excellent quality but destined to miss the awards season can often be made big by their excellent reputation. This is also a popular investment target for small independent film companies, as a pioneer in opening up the market-low-cost comedy movies The same is true.

The common characteristics of horror movies such as "It's Behind You", "After Turning Off the Lights", "Hold Your Breath", "Hot Nanny", and "Safe Neighborhood" are: the investment cost is very light, the market rate of return is particularly gratifying, and the proportion of returns It can reach ten times or even twenty times. Aside from the uneven reputation, enthusiasts of horror movies are always an audience group that cannot be ignored.

The same goes for comedy movies such as "Cool", "Female Spy", "Life Wreck", "Intern", and "Bad Mother". Although excellent comedy movies are becoming scarcer nowadays, the audience group has always been relatively stable. Universal Pictures and Paramount have been producing small-cost comedies in batches for a long period of time. There is no way to make big hits without losing money. Small troubles can always be rewarded.

In case, it can burst like a "hangover", it will be full.

Among them, "Clown's Soul" is an unexpected surprise.

This thriller horror movie is undoubtedly the most popular and successful one in recent years. The investment of 35 million US dollars in exchange for the North American box office of 300 million; and related topics also completely detonated the social network, follow-up surrounding And related projects all broke out, completely reversing the disadvantages of horror movies after the new century.

However, in the preparatory stage, "Clown Back to the Soul" did not have much special treatment. New Line Pictures only regarded it as another ordinary film adapted from Stephen-King, from the cast of cast to the director. From the choice of screenwriters to the control of investment costs, all aspects seem unremarkable.

Although Stephen King’s original works have contributed countless classics, such as "Witch Carrie", "The Mist", "The Shining", "Shawshank's Redemption", etc., professionals generally believe that his works can only be regarded as second-rate, and the focus is still It's the screenwriter and director-almost every year, film companies adapt his works, but after the 1990s, the classics have disappeared.

Therefore, the title "adapted from Stephen King" is no longer a gimmick.

No one thought that "Clown Back to the Soul" would explode like this. Of course, from a historical perspective, the success of this film has an intricate background of the times. If you change the time point, it may be a miserable defeat; but this is not the part that Lanly needs to consider now. The most important thing is that the project has come. In the hands of Sisyphus Pictures.

Since "Clown Back to the Soul" can appear on Lan Li's desktop, this means that the copyright of the adaptation is not in the hands of Xin Xian Pictures, but in the hands of the producers; at the same time, Xin Xian Pictures obviously did not give enough film projects. Pay attention to the fact that there were differences in the negotiation process, which led the producers to start looking for other partners.

It is worth noting that the producer of "The Clown" is a Chinese-American named Dan-Lin. His name can also be used in "The Infinite Walker", "Detective Sherlock Holmes", and "Lego Movies". "As seen in other works, it is obvious that the cooperation relationship with Warner Bros. is very close.

However, he is not a film producer-at least, he will not be involved in the film production process. He is the producer who is specifically responsible for finding investment, that is, the producer who controls budgets, adjusts costs, and manages funds. . There is a reason why he sent "Clown Back to the Soul" into Lan Li's hands.

On the title page of the "Clown Back to the Soul" project, he wrote a paragraph in both Chinese and English:

"This is a story about childhood horror memories. Everyone has their own fears hidden in their childhood memories. Except for themselves, it is difficult to tell; and those childhood friends also disappeared with the burial of memories. . This is not a Stephen King movie, but a movie for everyone."

Obviously, Dan Lin just hopes to impress Lan Li, not for Lan Li's appearance-because the protagonist of the movie is a group of underage children, but because Lan Li can be an executive producer.

I have to say that Dan Lin's strategy is very successful.

Because these words reminded Lan Li of another adaptation of Stephen King's film, "Walk with Me", this is always one of Lan Li's favorite and most memorable movies.

Lan Li also marked a five-pointed star for "Clown Back to the Soul".

For another example, art films that have nothing to do with the award season and independent films that have nothing to do with the box office, but they interpret the world in different perspectives and ways. They are an irreplaceable part in the field of artistic creation, but they don’t. Because it is too profound and too artistic, it is high and low, and has successfully harvested a group of loyal audiences with its excellent reputation.

To be honest, this kind of film is the most charming and characteristic work, because without the shackles of two tights, creators can often collide with infinite artistic sparks, such as the Cohen brothers, David Fincher, and David Lin. Qi, Wes-Anderson, etc., etc., they can all be regarded as creators in this field.

The first "Orange" filmed on a smartphone (iPhone-5s) and screened in a movie theater focused on a group of trans/sexual/body service workers in Los Angeles, reflecting their real lives. This kind of subject matter is destined to do nothing during the award season and theaters, and even investment production is afraid to avoid it; but above the Sundance and Independence Spirit Awards, it has received applause from all professionals. .

To present the life status of women groups in contemporary North America in an almost line-drawing way, "a certain woman" consciously avoided all drama conflicts and recorded a state of life in a way of life flow, but intertwined with images and light The power of this has brought a strong reflection of the influence.

"Patterson" and "American Sweetheart", showing different sections of grassroots life, with their own poetry, burst out in a rough and primitive state, because they are too real and too sharp, academic I don't like it, but the level of artistic creation is so admirable. The "growth edge" with a comedy, self-deprecating and self-defeating style can also be regarded as another form of expression.

In a light and easy way to present the works of different aspects of love, "Love and Friendship" and "The Song of First Love", the two films are immersed in their own life mode, the narrative techniques and ways far away from the mainstream. The bridge section has its own unique wisdom, which brings more thinking. "Lobster" presents the dark side of society and love, and the cold narrative techniques and picture style are impressive.

There is also the secret room suspense work "The House of Sin", which uses a small story to reflect the complexity of human nature. It opens the perspective with layers of advancement and peeling. The thickness of the expression and the selection of the lens~www.novelhall.com~ will be one The stage-style dark story interprets more possibilities, but it is destined to be difficult to win more attention in the theater.

"I and Earl and the Dying Girl" is a movie that cannot be classified. It examines the meaning of death from the perspective of adolescents. It is lighter and lighter than the love movie "The Fault in the Stars" that faces cancer. Simple, but through the delicate description of the pure friendship between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, it bursts out even more powerful.

The most interesting thing is that "I and Earl and the Dying Girl" is still a fan movie-the male protagonist and his friends are avid movie lovers. The greatest pleasure outside of high school life is to make all kinds of All kinds of "big bad movies" adapted those classic movies to look like bad movies.

Such a style of film is somewhat similar to works such as "Patterson" and "Love and Friendship". It is completely the director's stylized artistic interpretation and interpretation. Whether it is awards season or art theaters, it is really difficult to find a show Perhaps only at the Sundance Film Festival and many film festivals in Europe, we can carefully occupy a place, but that's all.

These films cannot be categorized simply and roughly, nor can they be summarized in general, because they all have their own edges and corners and styles.

For mainstream audiences, most movies may not have been heard before, let alone watched and appreciated; but for true movie lovers, or movie art creators, these movies are far more valuable. Far surpasses the works born under the shackles of two sets of tights.

Because they can really open the door to the world through these works, appreciate the colorful, rich and diverse content, and then experience the variability and diversity of the art world, they are the true essence of artistic creation.

Like a treasure!
