Chapter 393 Lift off your fig leaf? No, open your girl’s skull!
Cheng Kai's status in the industry is unquestionable. As the only director to have won the Palme d'Or, he is definitely at the top of the domestic film and television industry.
But from Brother Zhi's point of view, that's just what happened.
Not to mention Cheng Kai, in fact he doesn't even look down on the Palme d'Or!
The literary and art circles are clamoring every day that art has no borders, but when did art break away from borders?
How did Cheng Kai's famous work "Butterfly Clothes" win the Palme d'Or?
The film was indeed well made, but the reason why it won the Palme d'Or that year was mainly because the film involved the tragic experience of the protagonist during a special period, and was used as negative propaganda material by Westerners.
Moreover, Li Youzhi felt that the film "Butterfly Clothes" had little to do with Cheng Kai.
To make a movie a success, it is definitely not something that the director can do alone.
Take "Cast Away" as an example. Even if Li Youzhi directs and stars in it, most of the other aspects require the ability of a group of villains from Waguang Culture.
What is a movie?
Movies are art, but they are also products produced by the film industry!
If this product is to be made well, first of all, the screenwriter and designer must be strong, and secondly, all aspects of the production line, such as actors, photography, scenery, costumes, lighting, soundtrack, and even scene management, must be strong and everyone must work together until the end. Only in this way can we have a perfect result.
In this system, the director plays the role of a production manager.
If the product is well done, you can say in the report that the production manager has a high position and takes the greatest credit.
But you can't say all the credit belongs to the manager alone - that's obviously unfair.
The reason why Li Youzhi looked down on Cheng Kai was probably because of this, besides the fact that the old guy was now shameless.
After "Butterfly Suit" won the Palme d'Or, this guy took almost all the honors and relied on the dividends from this film to earn a living for more than thirty years.
But the world only knows that this film won the Palme d'Or that year, but they don't know that this film had the best producer of the year. This producer hired the best screenwriter, the best photography, and the best soundtrack at the time. And...the most gorgeous leading actor!
At that time, Cheng Kai's biological father, the country's top director Cheng Huaikai, also devoted his efforts to directing this film.
What does this look like?
Just like there is a team in the NBA, the team owner is Cuban, the center is O'Neal, the power forward is Garnett, the small forward is Jordan, the shooting guard is Kobe, the point guard is Kidd, and the rotation players include Yao Ming, Novi Ski, Carter, McGrady, Nash...the assistant coach is Popovich.
To put it bluntly, this team can win the championship even if the coaching position is like a dog!
Of course, this metaphor is a bit biased.
Cheng Kai's excellence as a director lies in his top-notch picture structure. But based on this... In the current view of Li Youzhi, it is not just the capital of thirty years of bad money.
It's just like going to a foot-washing mall to have fun. You can't just say that the technician's makeup skills are high and just ask me to top up the card with 88,880!
If you want me to top up, what about poisonous dragons, what about ice and fire, what about red ropes...don't you have to be diligent, right?
With this thought in mind, Li Youzhi returned to the hotel after having a simple closing meal with a group of traitors.
After opening Cheng Kai's Weibo and scrolling through it a few times, Li Youzhi chuckled.
More than 20 days ago, on the day when he had just finished getting into shape and was about to start filming "Cast Away," Cheng Kai spoke out.
It's just that Brother Zhi was too busy at that time and had no time to pay attention.
Now that Brother Zhi has time and needs, this matter... needs to be discussed carefully.
"The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be! Clowns who seek to please others, and cats and dogs who have not acted in a few works can all get investment and become directors. If this continues, this industry will probably be corroded by commercialization until even the scum is left. !”
Cheng Kai’s Weibo has only a few followers, just over 2 million.
Looking at the Weibo post that far exceeded Cheng Kai's fan base, with more than five million likes, and was even liked and forwarded by a large number of directors in the circle, Li Youzhi hummed and smiled. PaPa edited a comment and sent it!
[But Director Cheng has been making commercial films for the past thirty years...and the ones he made are not very good]
After more than 20 days, the popularity of Cheng Kai's Weibo has actually declined, and the comment area is not very active.
However, the moment Li Youzhi's avatar with the V logo "Li Youzhi, the Great Human Race Emperor" and this comment appeared in the comment area, the peace in the comment area... was broken!
"You are that Li Youzhi, right? That's too much! You didn't even have a sperm when Director Cheng won the award! What qualifications do you have to judge Director Cheng?"
"The crooked song before was already vulgar enough, but now this person dares to go to Director Cheng's Weibo to start a fight. It really refreshed my understanding of the lower limit!"
"You may not be able to reach the heights of a bad adult in this life! Huangkou kid, how dare you!"
Yo,
Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows when he saw that the first people in the comment area to refute him were not netizens, but several directors and people in the film and television industry with V signs.
The owner hasn’t even seen it yet, so the dog is anxious!
Said Brother Zhi is vulgar, said Brother Zhi has no lower limit...
What the hell, Brother Zhi hasn’t started yet today!
Seeing a group of loyal protective dogs in the comment area begin to pounce on him, Li Youzhi smiled faintly and took out the teaching guitar from his suitcase.
After turning on the phone camera, he tuned the chords.
Following a burst of simple and repetitive tunes, Li Youzhi spoke.
The song he recorded is called "Upside Down Song", and it can be regarded as a companion piece to the previous "Rakshasa Haishi".
However, compared to "Rakshasa", which uses fairy tales as a vehicle for satire, the lyrics of this song are much more direct... every word is directed towards swearing!
Facing the camera, Li Youzhi quickly finished recording this ditty adapted from a rice-planting chant, and looked at Cheng Kai's already popular Weibo comment section.
Oh shit.
Previously, while Brother Zhi was busy filming, you guys hacked Brother Zhi online for more than 20 days.
Now the offense and defense change shape!
With this in mind, Li Youzhi directly sent the video of the song!
"Put a turtle into a yellow chamber pot, and it will feel noble. Riding a donkey to a court ball, it will compare itself to the princess..."
When those licking dogs in the film and television industry and Cheng Kai's fans opened the video and heard Li Youzhi's unique voice and the lyrics that were even better than the previous "Rakshasa Sea City" Yin and Yang, Cheng Kai The comment section on Weibo... exploded!
"Look what I found? Brother, why didn't you tell me that "Cast Away" is wrapping up today? You just came here to cause trouble after finishing filming? You are so... you really make me happy, hahaha!"
"Hahahaha, the great emperor of the human race, that person, that person is back! Lezi people are ecstatic!"
"Zhuo! I just sorted out and understood "Rakshasa Sea", and here comes another song. Brother, you are forcing me to learn Chinese again!"
"Hahahahahang, scored twice! Last time at the film festival, the guy was outputting from the air, but this time he's doing it with his face! @Cheng Kai, Director Cheng, come over and listen to the song!"
In the comment area, amidst the scoldings of a group of people from the film and television industry and fans of Cheng Kai, a hahaha comment flooded in...
at the same time.
Suhang, Chunhang Hotel.
Having just attended the Suzhou-Hangzhou Film Trend Art Exhibition and delivered a special speech as the finale guest, Cheng Kai was in a good mood.
This time Suzhou and Hangzhou held this art exhibition, in fact, to promote the local cultural industry.
However, the film industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou has been doing mediocrely in recent years. To organize this art exhibition, it is still a matter of local governments asking for their own organization.
This time, those who came to participate in this art exhibition were all friends in the industry. As the absolute center of the venue, Cheng Kai felt particularly comfortable being praised by a large group of domestic directors and local officials.
"Director Cheng, why didn't Feiyu come with you this time?"
"Yes, I see that this child has grown up very fast recently, and he can already tell his acting skills. After all, he comes from a family of artists, so this is really unacceptable."
"Director Cheng, if you have time and opportunity, please ask him to contact me. I have a book on hand, and I am looking for a leading actor. I saw his work at the Shanghai Film Festival last time, and I felt that this kid is A piece of rough jade. The first prize for this rough jade was decided by my vote, so you have to give me a chance to polish it."
Looking at Lu Jiang, Gao Peng and Zhou Liang, who were holding wine glasses at the same table, complimenting him as always, Cheng Kai waved his hand with a smile.
"To be honest, I really don't feel comfortable letting Fei Yu act in your drama. He is still young, and what I want to do is let him practice more. What do you think he can do in front of you elders? Don't spoil him anymore. Besides, you and I are close, and if Feiyu plays your role, people will say that Feiyu is a related party, which is not good."
Jian Chengkai excused himself humbly, and Gao Peng clicked his tongue.
"No way! This kid Feiyu is sensible and a successful leader, so what's the problem? As for the rumors outside, why do you care about that? Your inheritance is kept here, Feiyu Not to mention playing a leading role, just the four words "art family", Fei Yu can play no role too much! His biggest problem now is that he is young, wait a few years, let him direct it! Those people outside are jealous of Fei Yu What are you doing? Jealous that he has a father who is the only one to have won the Palme d'Or. How can they be jealous?"
Although it was flattery, Gao Peng's words really aroused Cheng Kai's skin.
"Don't say that. If word gets out, it won't have any impact..."
Before Cheng Kai finished speaking, dozens of notifications suddenly popped up on his cell phone placed on the table.
Seeing the Weibo messages filling the screen, Cheng Kai picked up his phone.
Seeing the videos sent by netizens in the private message, he squinted his eyes, took the phone away, and clicked it with his thumb.
"Put a turtle into a yellow chamber pot and it will feel noble. Ride a donkey to a court ball and it will compare itself to the princess."
"The sun can't illuminate the ghosts at night. It's hard for animals to understand the human world. It always thinks it thinks that its tonsils are swollen more than its brain..."
Hearing the familiar tone and looking at Li Youzhi's face with a mocking smile in the video, the smile on Cheng Kai's face suddenly solidified as if he had been sprayed with liquid nitrogen.
Seeing that Cheng Kai's expression was wrong, and then looking at the content on his phone... Gao Peng looked at each other and quickly took out his phone!
"When a dog lies down with a bone in its mouth, you will see its tail. When you crush a crab and look at it again, you will find a tortoise."
"There are so many living beings in this world. Their words are blind and their hearts are blind. The roads are slippery and people are slippery. If you are not careful, you may step on them... A green onion in the valley is bigger than that stick!"
In Li Youzhi's weird tune, Lu Jiang, Gao Xingpeng and Zhou Liang looked at each other as they looked at the specially bolded lyrics and subtitles in the video.
(ω`): He seemed to be scolding me, without any curse words.
(ω): Heh...it seems like he scolded me too, but he didn't seem to scold me either.
(〃-ω): I’m sure I scolded you two, but I’m not sure if I scolded me...
After communicating with their eyes, the three of them silently looked at Cheng Kai, whose face had turned purple-black.
The second half of this song is a bit broad.
But in the first half... the direction is very clear.
Turtles and donkeys, ghosts and animals... there is still a little room for negotiation.
But the tonsils were swollen more than the brain... Looking at Cheng Kai's neck, which had become a bit thick due to hyperthyroidism, almost as thick as the side of his head, the three of them grinned.
Minato,
This descriptive vocabulary is really quite accurate!
…
Beep!
Received stunning points, 1,500,885 points!
"I originally thought "Rakshasa Sea City" was the pinnacle of satirical songs, but I didn't expect that there was a song more powerful than it. Whose work is this? Ah...it turns out to be my little brother, hahahaha [akimbo]! "
"Yellow bedpan = Palme d'Or... Hahahaha, it's so appropriate, so appropriate! Even the laughter and curses are enough, what a talent!"
"The literati scold others, and dig their graves with every word. One word, absolute! hiahiahia"
"Just a passerby, come here to eat melon. Most of the so-called high-end things that people admire are superficial. Director Cheng started to think that he was superior to others after he won the Palme d'Or. His chaotic narrative over the years has made me doubt myself. Don’t you understand art? Now...someone finally stood up and acted as my mouthpiece! He still sang it, he really...I cried to death!"
"Pfft hahaha... In the past thirty years, everyone has had one doubt. All of Director Cheng's works after "Die Yi" feel that he has nothing to do with "Die Yi". Now I see this song by the little brother Song, I suddenly thought of "The Emperor's New Clothes". This is not a song at all, this is the childish saying "He has no clothes on at all"!"
hotel.
Hearing the amazing value reminder of a large amount of money finally coming from his ears after more than 20 days, and seeing Cheng Kai's comment area that had been completely occupied by the fun-lovers and melon-eaters, Li Youzhi evoked The corner of his mouth.
There are capable people among netizens!
This song is really not a song.
This is a self-evident trap!
If Cheng Kai takes over and explains the irony and questioning in the song, he will lose.
As a barefooted person, I am not afraid of anyone wearing shoes. If I don't pick him up, I will still lose if I stand and get scolded.
This time I will not only lift your fig leaf, but I will also lift your skull!
This palm has brought together twenty years of Brother Zhi's skills. I hope you, Chengdao... can withstand it.
Just when Li Youzhi was thinking this, the comment area suddenly became excited again!
The reason for the excitement is that Cheng Kai... accepted the move.
[ @Human Emperor Li Youzhi, the movie had just finished filming, and he came over to personally attack me to gain attention. It's all for the sake of box office, so it would be too cheap to do this! 】
ha!
Seeing that Cheng Kai was far less well-educated than he thought, Li Youzhi burst into laughter.
Shabi!
It's true that you are hyped to gain attention.
But at the box office... Brother Zhi is really not that rare.
What is "Cast Away"?
It’s Shunfeng’s dad’s commercial!
