2.6 billion box office directors shoot comedies again. What does word-of-mouth lead the National Day file?


Special feature of 1905 film network As a movie with comedy as its selling point in the National Day archives, (hereinafter referred to as "Blood Boiling") started a large-scale screening before the screening, showing confidence in its own quality. Since the second day of the film’s release, the film’s arrangement rate and attendance rate have steadily increased, and the box office has fallen under the encirclement of a large number of films. Douban 7.1, among the five national day live-action movies, "Boiling Blood" tied for the first place.


He once praised the cooperation with the director, "This is an optimistic, positive and responsible comedy." I also frankly felt the sincerity and awe of the creator.


"Comedy has too many things to carry."


When the film producer was interviewed by 1905 Film Network before screening, he responded to the expectation of film reputation with the word "OK". "If you don’t have fun in the film for forty dollars, it’s also our achievement to have fun in scolding us." As a producer, Xing Wenxiong is indifferent to everything, and admits that both positive comments and negative comments will be concerned.

Xing Wenxiong’s first film was 2.6 billion at the box office. Gao Hu, the director, was the photography director of The Killer Is Not Too Cold, and Boiling Blood is the first feature film by Xing Wenxiong, the first director of Gao Hu.


Compared with these two works, many people say that "Hot Blood" is not as funny as "The Killer is Not Too Cold". Xing Wenxiong admitted, "This is certain. It’s not because the creative team lost the ability to make the audience laugh, but the content that "Hot Blood" wants to present is different, so it converges on making jokes and wants to present more warmth and inspiration to the audience. "



PART.01


"Many viewers will interpret the remake as a translation. I don’t agree with it a bit, which is very different."


"Blood Boiling" is adapted from a Spanish high-scoring comedy film, and the core of caring for disabled groups is wrapped in a comedy coat.


Although it is an adaptation, the character setting, story bridge, plot direction and other contents have been readjusted. Xing Wenxiong said that most of the content is original, and I hope that the film will better meet everyone’s expectations for the China film.



"China also has a Special Olympics League, that is, the’ Heart Youth’ basketball league, but it seems that many people don’t know that we adapted’ Basketball Champion’ not to directly take Spain’s national conditions, but to let more people pay attention to’ Heart Youth’ through this film, how they understand sports and pay attention to their achievements in sports."


The original "Basketball Champion" cast has enabled real "young people" who suffer from mild mental retardation. "Hot Blood" also chose this group as an actor. Considering the image fit, it finally chose the "young people with weaker intelligence level, and gradually explored a relatively complete shooting method.



In the crew,, and are three "young people" with zero performance experience. Yue Liang and Liu Sibo are autistic, and Liu Muqi is a child with Down syndrome.


"They have no concept of performance, that is, they are living, not nervous and not afraid of the camera. We will explain the task in each scene. They don’t know whether it is a performance or a repetition of the task given by the teacher. "    


Xing Wenxiong admits that choosing "Heart Youth" to perform will have certain obstacles in communication with them. Their emotions fluctuate and it is difficult for them to be comforted by strangers. However, with the passage of time and familiarity with each other, the "young people" relaxed when they were photographed in the second half, and they completely adapted to the new environment, and occasionally generate made a wonderful finishing touch.



A scene that impresses Xing Wenxiong is that Yue Liang and two people are sitting in the park. They are watching a mother pushing a child on a bicycle from a distance, surrounded by fallen leaves. In that scene, Yue Liang didn’t have any lines, just needed to sit next to him and eat fruit. But patting, he suddenly said, "the leaves have fallen."


"This word seems to give the play a little life at once, and he gives the play a philosophical meaning." Xing Wenxiong couldn’t help but sigh that Yue Liang completely improvised and the photographer gave the focus in a hurry. Fortunately, the final presentation effect was particularly good.



"Hot Blood" focuses on the group of "young people with hearts", and many viewers’ predictions on such topics are sensational. Xing Wenxiong said that sensationalism is exactly what they are trying to avoid. "Many viewers shed tears when they saw this film, but in fact, the tears are not because the film created the suffering of the" young people ",but created their positive image."


In Xing Wenxiong’s view, it is not necessary to reveal the suffering in the life of "young people with hearts" in "Boiling Blood". Instead of revealing it, it can’t be solved. It’s better to show you a group of innocent and lovely children and create a utopian fairy tale world so that everyone can be themselves.


PART.02

  

"Hot Blood" is the second work as a man after "This Killer is Not Too Cold". From "The Killer Is Not Too Cold" to "Have a Boiling Blood", Xing Wenxiong "takes the second place" of Wei Xiang.


He said that "Have a boiling passion" was written with Wei Xiang. From the beginning, Wei Xiang was the best person to play coach Wei. "Because he is very good at handling people with extreme personalities, this role belongs to him."


In Xing Wenxiong’s eyes, the real background color of "devil coach" Wei Guozheng is inferiority. Because of inferiority, I want to be strong and hope to win. The reason why he has to prove himself repeatedly is because he has a problem in his heart and feels that he is not as good as others. He has always lived with a loser mentality.


"Wei Xiang life also has a snag like this. He is a Sichuanese. He spends every day with the Northeast actors who are very talented in comedy, which may be a hurdle for him. He has been playing the role of a dog’s blood, using exaggerated and deformed performances to seize every time he plays. " The producer bluntly said that this is also the place where Wei Xiang in life can resonate with the role.



Many people who have seen the movie have fallen in love with Wei Xiang and Wang Zhi’s CP in the play. However, Xing Wenxiong laughed and said that they had never preset their sense of CP.


He commented that Wang Zhi was gentle and good-looking, but in fact he was a martial artist, giving people a feeling of tenderness and strength. She is absolutely capable of handling the role of "the parent" of the charity house, and she is very good at handling it.



From "This Killer is Not Too Cold" to "Blood Boiling", Xing Wenxiong’s works are mostly adaptations.


In fact, he admits that he is extremely yearning for original stories. Adapted works can rely on the content of the previous works, the card company and the box office as a reference, which is a "stepping stone" for my in-depth creation as a novice filmmaker. When everyone has a certain knowledge and trust in his comedy field, he can do the original story he really wants to do.  



"First consider how to establish a connection with the audience. When a suitable connection point is found, then use comedy skills to make works that are emotionally connected with the audience and make everyone feel funny. This is our creative guideline." After exploring the comedy road, Xing Wenxiong gradually summed up his methodology.


He believes that the most important thing in polishing comedy is to "lead the audience."


"Doing comedy has an important logic called building expectations and breaking expectations, and there are many creative skills. You have to be very familiar with these skills, then be good at using them, and add various elements of life to your creative ideas, so that you can have qualified jokes."


What is worth looking forward to is that on the fifth day of the release of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", he started to develop new comedies. Because I want to talk to the audience every day, this project has taken some detours. But Xing Wenxiong said that now he has thought about it, and the next comedy is already on the way.
