There was soon a related question on Zhihu.

"How to evaluate 'Farewell My Concubine'"

This time, a considerable number of industry insiders appeared, and there were even many figures familiar to netizens.

The collective appearance of these industry insiders was only because "Farewell My Concubine" had too much potential.

Although it was only ten minutes, one couldn't even see the general plot thread.

However, from the texture of the lens, as well as the acting skills and lines of the characters inside, one could know that this was a good film.

This was an intuition belonging to a senior practitioner.

There were few movies in China that made people fall in love at first sight.

Many people felt that this might become a work that left a huge mark in the depths of people's hearts like "The Silence of the Lambs."

However, looking at this initial plot, this might tell a story of a forbidden love.

The feelings between Xiaodouzi and Xiaoshitou, as long as people whose eyes were not blind could see that something was wrong.

Especially one who grew up in a pile of women since childhood, had a boy-girl appearance, and still sang Dan roles after entering the opera troupe.

What kind of thoughts Director Luo Quan had were almost placed on the surface.

And this kind of forbidden love, under the historical background of China, usually would not have a good ending.

Therefore, this might also be a love tragedy like "Titanic."

This was the judgment made by most film critics based on the currently known plot.

As the saying goes, one can see the old at three, which can actually be explained in movies.

However, for a destined ending, how Luo Quan could film it ups and downs is the most worthy place for everyone to look forward to.

No one doubted her ability, the only worry was whether the content of this movie could pass the review.

After all, China is not comparable to foreign countries, and the restrictions in many places are relatively large.

However, it is said that this is a task arranged by the above, if the script passes, it means it can be released, so there is no need to worry particularly.

The heat of "Farewell My Concubine," with the discussion of netizens, began to rise gradually across the entire network.

Along with it, it raised the heat of Peking Opera again.

The reason for saying "again" is because Luo Quan had done similar things before.

Not long ago, she just sent a photo wearing opera costumes and opera makeup.

Not only in China, but also caused a considerable sensation abroad, belonging to proper cultural output.

It was precisely because of her that many young people began to take the initiative to contact Peking Opera, rather than passively listening to the Peking Opera played by their grandparents.

Of course, compared to China's large population base, the efforts Luo Quan made so far had not reached the point of making Peking Opera red and purple, just broadening the contact area of young people.

However, she was at least the only person among stars with traffic who was willing to bring attention to Peking Opera.

Some stars, clearly they were also learning to sing opera before they debuted, and received a lot of care.

As a result, after debuting, they didn't mention the past, which really made people feel cold.

But there was no way, after all, the heat of Peking Opera in China is indeed not high.

To put it in utilitarian terms, it means there is no heat to rub.

If Peking Opera was as popular as rap or previous idol talent shows, it is estimated that these stars would wish to say a few words when they have nothing to do.

The reality is like this.

Perhaps, "Farewell My Concubine" is the opportunity for Peking Opera to turn red.

Many people think so, but specifically how it depends on Luo Quan's ability.

The movie continued to film, after the childhood chapter ended, it was time for the youth.

The actors invited were still pulled out from the drama school, not only needing acting skills, but also having a certain drama foundation.

Especially the young Cheng Dieyi, the appearance must pass.

Although China claims to lack everything, it does not lack people.

However, Luo Quan also spent a lot of time to find the right role before.

Generally speaking, when a director films such a movie with depth and connotation, they will be quite detailed, striving to let a picture express as many lens languages as possible.

Therefore, the speed of filming will not be very fast, and it is common for a scene to toss for several hours.

Some directors can even struggle for a week for a scene.

The type of movie determines its filming efficiency.

Like "Farewell My Concubine," such an art film, it is destined not to be filmed fast.

The premise is not meeting Luo Quan.

Also as a director, when Jiang Wen debuted, he actually filmed all art films, averaging one a year, and the longest one took a year and a half.

It was also that one that let him take down the Cannes award.

For movies, he has always believed in the truth that slow work produces fine work.

But on Luo Quan, all truths became dog farts.

Except for the first day of NG many times, the plot after Luo Quan was really too smooth.

Although it is related to the quality of the actors, after all, they are all looking for domestic top levels, but it shouldn't be filmed so fast.

Don't know, he thought this was filming a commercial movie.

As a director, Jiang Wen was really worried about the quality of the movie.

After lasting for nearly a week, Director Jiang Wen finally couldn't help but question Luo Quan.

Of course, it was in private.

He didn't have such low emotional intelligence, no matter how many words he had, he couldn't take it to the table.

"Director Luo, is this movie filmed a bit too fast, this camera movement, lighting, and the actor's position, I see they are all decided by you alone, without adjustment, are you so sure that what is filmed is definitely the best angle and step?"

Jiang Wen's question started completely from the perspective of a director, and all were professional questions.

A movie of an hour and a half, its material may be as long as five or six hours.

A lens may be filmed from several angles, and only when editing at the end will the best effect be selected for retention.

And Luo Quan, almost every lens only films one.

Jiang Wen has been in the industry for more than twenty years, saying that he has never seen such a way of filming movies.

Even if it is a crudely manufactured online micro-movie, it wouldn't be like this.

This is Luo Quan, with past actual achievements as a bottom.

If it were another young person, he would probably have exploded on the first day.

"Oh, you are talking about this."

Luo Quan heard Jiang Wen's worry, while drinking tea and laughing: "Before I film a movie, I will go through all the steps in my mind, build a 3D model, and then constantly adjust, finally obtaining an optimal plan."

"So my movie, the plan I give to the actors and the crew, is almost the best plan, no need to make too many adjustments."

"As long as the actor's acting skills and emotions are no problem, and the crew members don't make mistakes, the things filmed can basically reach the effect I want."

"There is such a thing?" Jiang Wen was very surprised.

Heard for the first time that a movie can be filmed in the mind first.

"My songs also come like this." Luo Quan stretched out her finger and poked her head, "Imagine the notes first, let them perform permutation and combination, finally obtain what I want, and then achieve it in one go."

"You are this." Jiang Wen directly gave a thumbs up.

Long heard that Luo Quan is a genius, but he always thought it meant being extremely talented in music or art.

Didn't expect that this genius refers to super brain power.

It is no longer just intelligence, only the evolution of the brain can achieve such a function.

After dismissing Director Jiang Wen, Luo Quan also breathed a sigh of relief.

What 3D model, actually it is all nonsense.

Although her brain is indeed quite easy to use now, it has not reached the level of a supercomputer.

The above statement is purely to answer the doubts of Director Jiang Wen.

After all, this is a big director, ordinary nonsense can't be fooled, can only engage in this kind of super-outline.

After all, her current persona is having intelligence that mortals can't imagine, and it is not strange to have some special skills.

In the final analysis, it is still because the past "war record" is too brilliant, making people unable to question her outrageous way.

If it were a director who had just started, telling Director Jiang Wen that there was such a filming trick, it is estimated that a big mouth would have slapped over first.

After solving the only person who would question her, Luo Quan pulled full horsepower to continue filming.

"Farewell My Concubine" and "The Silence of the Lambs" are similar, there are many literary plays, the lines are memorized fast, and the play is filmed fast.

And after filming, it is basically a finished film, and there are no special effects that need to be produced.

Looking at the current progress, "Farewell My Concubine" is quite likely to become a blockbuster for the New Year.

It's just that the New Year pays attention to a celebration, and the movies released are mostly family-friendly, or special effects blockbusters, to satisfy the eyes.

"Frozen" is quite good, and it is also in line with the scene.

But during the New Year, if the whole family goes to see a tragedy like "Farewell My Concubine," it always feels a bit not particular.

Originally everyone walked into the cinema happily, and finally came out with tears, which was indeed a bit uncomfortable.

However, who let the New Year file be the hottest time in the entire Chinese movie market for a whole year.

Within this half month, it is the peak season, and those who want to rush the box office will concentrate on this time period to release.

Luo Quan really had no reason to refuse.

She felt that this movie was worth everyone going into the cinema to be moved to tears, even during the New Year.

Thinking of this, she had no concerns, and when the time comes, if someone wants to complain, let them complain, there is heat only if there is controversy.

Although she is not the complete producer, the movie also has a lot of her investment, and when it is released, the Springwater Company will also be placed in front.

So this matter, she can also make the decision alone.

Of course. Whether it can be done, still needs to discuss with the big shots in the bureau.

But there shouldn't be too big a problem, after all, those big shots were not aiming for the box office to begin with.

International influence is what they want.

Chinese movies have been empty-handed internationally for a long time, if they don't make some movement, the world is afraid that they will forget who is the big Boss of East Asian entertainment.

Although, all along, the outside world has thought that Japan is the leader of East Asian entertainment, South Korea is weaker, and there is a trend of catching up.

And China, almost never had any waves.

But this kind of truth must not be said out no matter what, and even needs actual awards to prove that we are still very capable in this regard.

And the confidence of the big shots to prove it lies in Luo Quan's "Farewell My Concubine."

Therefore, during the time Luo Quan filmed, those big shots including Director He would send secretaries to the scene from time to time to understand the situation.

Ask if the progress is smooth, if anyone is playing big names, or other places that need help, just say it if you need it.

Anyway, all the way green light.

Luo Quan didn't have any special requirements here, it was not that she was embarrassed to open her mouth, mainly because what she needed was already prepared.

Just hope that when it is released in China, it can cut fewer pictures.

This promise, the big shots had not given a definite reply for the time being, saying that it had to wait until the film came out to determine.

Relatively cautious, and understandable.

In short, Luo Quan, who got the gold medal order, was also focused during this time, and threw herself into the filming of the movie.

Several protagonists also knew what this movie meant, and all performed quite hard.

Especially the actor of Cheng Dieyi, Zhao Xilin, could often see him muttering lines to himself on the set.

Also watching while eating, simply like being enchanted.

But precisely because of such hard work, the state he performed in the play was the Cheng Dieyi in Luo Quan's mind.

Compared to the original version, Zhao Xilin's appearance was more feminine, more indistinguishable between male and female.

Whether it is a boy-girl appearance or a girl-boy appearance, it is either an ugly ghost or a big beauty.

Zhao Xilin was obviously the latter, which was also the reason why he was looked upon by that Director Niu before.

Plus he was also a Dan role singer in his early years, so he had quite a lot of experience in this regard.

To use the words of Bilibili brothers, this is a peerless good seedling for a big boss in women's clothing.

It's just that Zhao Xilin had always been quite manly in private, performance was one thing, and reality was another.

However, Luo Quan saw that he faintly had the appearance of getting into trouble, and felt that it was better to remind him.

Don't get too deep into the play, unable to extricate himself, then the problem would be too big.

After a day's play was filmed, Luo Quan found Zhao Xilin and let him stay, saying there were some plays to explain.

After waiting for people to leave, Luo Quan looked at Zhao Xilin and said: "You have been enchanted during this time, seeing you, you are all pondering the role by memorizing lines."

"Mind is a good thing, but also be relaxed, don't get too deep into the play, if you can't get out of the play like Cheng Dieyi, the consequences will be troublesome."

"You kept me for this?" Zhao Xilin was stunned first, then laughed again:

"When I learned to sing opera, the master taught me the knowledge of entering and exiting the play."

"When entering the play, I must be a woman, when exiting the play, I must be a dignified man, the two must never be confused."

"So I can distinguish between illusion and reality, you don't need to worry too much."

"Besides, to play this role well, can't I just use this state?"

"As the saying goes, if you are not crazy, you can't live."

"If this is the case, it is the best, in short, don't get too deep into the play." Luo Quan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Didn't expect Zhao Xilin's thoughts to be quite clear, but she was a bit worried about heaven.
