A group of people are making anti-Japanese movies in a village. What movie is a hit?

"No Joking" is a 90-minute Henan film, and all the actors use Henan dialect. Based on a real case, the film mainly tells the story of a group of wealthy farmers in Henan who overcame many difficulties and finally made a film. "The biggest highlight of the film is the interesting story. Film projectionist Cai Youcai (Li) borrowed money to shoot a film with the theme of Japanese devils entering the village. Because it was the first time to make a movie, he found an actor and made a lot of jokes during the filming. He not only tried to lose weight for Latin America, but also "faked", which almost caused a fire. The film laughed hundreds of times in 97 minutes, full of "laughter".

No kidding was officially released on March 20 12 10, which had a great impact. 1. Henan comedy "No Jokes" released in Beijing dialect became popular. On June 10, No Joke, the first local hilarious movie in Henan, broke into Beijing and was shown in more than 50 theaters in 7 theaters. This is also the first pure "Made in Henan" film released in Beijing. Don't tell me, let the audience laugh first and then cry. It's no joke. After watching the movie, even Beijingers learned Henan dialect. On June 10, film director Lu Weiguo reported exclusively to this newspaper: "No Jokes 2" will be officially launched on June 10, and actors will be auditioned nationwide; The script of No Jokes 3 has been created, and the story is even more "malicious". 2. The movie Eat Crab and Made in Henan premiered in Beijing. Compared with the blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million yuan, the movie No Jokes invested by Henan Film and Television Group can be described as a drop in the bucket, and it only costs 6.5438+100,000 yuan to shoot. However, this small production suddenly became popular. First, I won a million box office in my hometown in Henan, and then I gained a lot in Shanxi and Shaanxi. This month, it began to move to Beijing, and the publisher was the big shot in the circle-China Film Distribution Company. Since June 1, the stills of No Jokes have appeared in major theaters in Beijing, as well as some university campuses and communities, and have also become eye-catching entertainment news on newspapers and TV. On June 7th, No Jokes held its Beijing premiere in Guang 'anmen Cinema in Xuanwu District, Beijing. On June 9th, the main director of No Jokes walked into Jinyi International Studios with Li, Li and Li to share the wonderful stories behind the scenes with the audience. On June 10, the film officially began to be shown in more than 50 theaters in 7 theaters in Beijing. "The screening period is not less than 20 days, and there are not less than 5 shows per day." Although the ticket price is twice as expensive as Zhengzhou, and it is sold to 60 yuan and even 80 yuan, there are still thousands of spectators scrambling to pay for it and enjoy the wonderful laughter. It's windy in Henan. "Learn Henan dialect and communicate with 100 million people without fear!" With the screening of "No Joking", the wind of Henan dialect is quietly blowing. From Taiyuan and Xi 'an, it was blown to the capital Beijing. "Kaifeng dialect is Mandarin." "Middle, middle, middle!" "This is no joke!" The reporter learned that out of the cinema, many Beijing audiences learned to talk about the classic language in movies and learned Henan dialect. At the premiere, Tian Hua, the author of the theme song of the film, taught the audience to learn Henan dialect. Tian Hua said: "To learn Henan dialect is to master a way to communicate with 100 million people;" Learn Henan dialect and communicate with 100 million people! " An audience who did not want to be named said that Northeast dialect and Sichuan dialect have been popular in Beijing's film and television broadcasts for many years. Henan dialect tastes better, and I believe it will be "spoken" all over the streets of Beijing. When everyone is amused, a few words of Henan dialect will pop up from time to time, which will definitely add a lot of fun. According to the insider, the fire is "opening a door for civilian movies" and "small-budget movies also have spring." Gao Jun, deputy general manager of Beijing New Film Association Cinema, is particularly optimistic about this film. He even said that if domestic small and medium-sized films can shoot at this level, then our market will develop healthily. After watching the movie, Lu Chen, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Xuanwu District Committee, said, "No Jokes" opened a door for civilian movies, not only for entertainment, but also for watching the stills of "No Jokes".

Many people, and let everyone be educated. "If there is an opportunity, let the 530,000 citizens in Xuanwu District also watch this movie." Lu Chen said excitedly. Li Zongwei, director of the Film Department of the Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, once said at the seminar that No Jokes can be called the Henan version of Crazy Stone, with less investment and high returns, because it is close to life, the masses and reality, and comes from real stories. "You can see the strong Henan flavor, strong local flavor, very close to life". Moreover, it has a high conception, and it is very valuable to dig paragraphs from reality. Zhao Dahe, a Nanyang writer in Beijing, also organized a group of Henan villagers to get together and enjoy this hilarious comedy made in Henan. "This is a rare breakthrough. It is a breakthrough of Henan film culture in the environment where film and television are monopolized by the outside world. It can be called a sudden emergence. " Zhao Dahe said. Exclusive report "No Jokes 2" started shooting in June 10. It is reported that "No Jokes 2" will be shown in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan and other 10 capital cities, and it is planned to "bloom" in the whole country. Actually, the fun is just beginning. On the afternoon of June 10, Lu Weiguo reported exclusively to reporters: "There will be no joke 2 on June 10! I am also going to audition for actors in the country! " "It's still funny." Lu Weiguo revealed that he had written the script No Jokes 2, which told the story of farmers holding the Spring Festival Gala, "half in the city and half in the countryside". However, the Spring Festival Gala in the film is not a fake Spring Festival Gala, but a funny experience of farmers in the process of preparing for the Spring Festival Gala and inviting county TV stations to record it. The film also involves the content of the column "You are the most talented" of Henan Satellite TV City Channel. Lu Weiguo said that we all know "sister provinces" and "twin cities", but "sister villages" may be unheard of. This film is about farmers in Henan trying their best to "get married" with a village in Hungary.

Edit the prototype of this story

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2005, a group of farmers in Xingyuanpu Village, Jingling Town, Xuchang County, Henan Province, with their backs on the loess, wrote, directed and performed a New Year film "Devils Entering the Village" reflecting the atrocities of the Japanese invasion of China, which opened a precedent for farmers in China to make movies. Zhao Lanqing, 55, is the director of Devils Entering the Village. Zhao Lanqing said that the reason why the film was made at the beginning was because the villagers had a good life in recent years, but there were not many ways of cultural entertainment except watching TV and listening to the radio. "In the off-season, it is not serious for a group of people to get together to drink and play cards. Making a movie can not only make everyone have fun, but also educate future generations. Why not? " "Devils Entering the Village" tells the story of a small Japanese army occupying Xingyuanpu Village on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1945. Because Zhao Lanqing, the director, is an amateur, leading a group of villagers who have never performed in a play, raising more than 1000 yuan for filming, so there are many jokes in the filming process. But in order to realize their wishes, they still filmed with relish and were not discouraged. Zhao Lanqing and the villagers didn't expect that their behavior of having fun inadvertently opened a precedent for farmers to take selfies in the country. After many media reports, including this newspaper, they were even invited to CCTV's "Little Cui Shishuo" column to "talk about things" face to face with the famous mouth Cui Yongyuan. In 2008, Lu Weiguo met Cui Yongyuan in Beijing and learned many satirical stories that happened in Zhao Lanqing's rural drama group. Seeing that "The Devil Into the Village" could not be shown in the cinema, the villagers were still in high spirits, and he immediately decided to put this true story on the screen. "No Joking" was recognized by the crew of "Devils Entering the Village" on the day of its premiere in Xuchang. "They are not the kui is a professional director, professional actors, professional equipment, shoot too well! Everyone in the village knows this film and is anxious to see it early. " Zhao Yuqing said. Many scenes in No Joke are true. The Japanese devils played by the villagers threw pepper water on the Eighth Route Army soldiers and sat on the tiger bench, all of which were real performances. In order to show how villagers who don't understand film technology make movies, several scenes in which the Eighth Route Army and villagers were tortured, Japanese soldiers and traitors were really punched and kicked. "Say hang up, really hang up. The actor said it hurts, I said it hurts, and pain can reflect the real effect. " At the premiere of No Joking, Zhao Lianlian, a villager in Xingyuanpu village who played the devil in The Devil Into the Village, said, "This guy is worse than me, and he looks like a devil than me!" On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2009, these farmers were "targeted" by real directors-their filming was remake into a movie. Because professional directors really think that although these farmers make a lot of jokes during filming, their attitude is really serious, so the name of the new film is No Joking.

Edit this paragraph behind the scenes.

The actors suffered "the pain of flesh and blood". There are many interesting things in the filming process. What impressed him most was "fake play and real work". "There was a scene where the Japanese raped a village girl. When filming, the surrounding extras couldn't stand it. They took off their clothes, threw away their guns, stopped filming, knocked six actors who played Japanese devils to the ground and beat them up. " It is said that many actors suffered from "flesh and blood" during filming, and Li was not spared.

Edit the meaning behind this video.

Farmers' filming seems to be entertainment, but there is deep meaning behind it. Xie Yuping, the film's producer, said, "No Jokes" is a comedy feature film reflecting the spiritual civilization construction in the new countryside. It reflects the rich peasants' pursuit of a higher level of spiritual civilization. The theme is positive, the plot is vivid, and it contains educational significance in entertainment and patriotism in fun. It is one of the key films made by Henan Film and Television Production Group in 2009.

Edit the relevant film reviews in this paragraph.

No kidding is a film based on real events. The theme of the film is simple: farmers make movies. For the rare rural comedy, this film does not introduce a lofty urban perspective to ridicule and ridicule farmers, but relegates the film to the level of stories and characters. This effort to abandon "gimmicks" and focus on real stories has paid off: No Jokes has achieved a unique film perspective and a pleasant viewing experience. During the one-and-a-half-hour movie screening, there was constant laughter in the screening hall. As the audience, we completely entered the story and were caught. This film fulfilled its basic task: telling stories and entertaining. As a small-budget film, a large part of the credit should be attributed to the script. Judging from the current movies, a solid script should be the greatest wealth of movies. Such a script brings us rich story details and accurate lines. The audience can feel the reality and sense of an event scene, and at the same time, they will involuntarily follow the pace of the protagonist to open a new plot. This is the most valuable part of this film. At the same time, the plot rhythm and lines rhythm are reasonable, and the characters change clearly. Moreover, the script's grasp of the group image is impressive, and a large number of characters are intertwined and have their own characteristics-of course, this is due to many excellent actors-which sets the tone for the success of this film. In this film, the director still plays the role of "the realist of the script". Although the technique is quite skillful, the creation belonging to the director does not exceed the feeling of the script, and some parts still make people feel a little deliberate. But on the whole, the director has completed his work well and controlled the picture rhythm of the film well, which is basically level with other departments (photography, performance, art, etc.). In this way, the overall look and feel of the film is relatively harmonious, but the advantages of the script stand out from the crowd and give the film a perfect score. "No kidding" also has its problems. At the end of the film, the filming of "The Devil Comes" was completed for the villagers, old and young. As a result, during the watching process, the villagers left in succession. The meaning of this paragraph is not clear enough. Why did they leave? What happened to the film that was made with such great effort? Perhaps the director wants to leave an open mind for the film by diluting the ending, but this technique conflicts with the story-telling method of the film. Now that things have been pushed to this point, there must be a clear result. None of these contents were explained by the director. As a comedy, there are only two endings. Either the farce ends and the relationship between the characters returns to its original state, or things are pushed to a climax, and finally the relationship between the characters changes unexpectedly. The idea of this film should be the first one, but the end of the film seems a little thin. A lot of elaboration and unfolding in front did not play its due role at the end of the film, and the story trend of the ending paragraph was also somewhat out of touch with the front, which led to the frustration of the audience at the end of the film, as if to bid farewell to the story in an unknown way. Compared with the previous patience and meticulous, the overall feeling at the end of the film is a bit hasty. At the same time, the beginning of the film is a bit long. The beginning here refers to the part before filming, including the hospital section, the dating section and the sponsorship section. In particular, the latter two parts are obviously "made up". Compared with the later stage of the story development, it feels a bit artificial. Although the director really wants to create the joy of this passage through the corresponding lens, this passage is like a joke in a traffic broadcast. I wish the storyteller would laugh for you, but you still have no feeling at all. In terms of paragraphs, except the beginning and the end, the middle shooting process is the essence of the film.

Edit this paragraph, and the director will explain.

First, the characteristics of the times and typical environment In film and television creation and production, the most important thing for directors is to grasp the overall situation. First of all, we should sort out the complex times, complex characters, vivid plots and themes shown in the script. What are you filming? How to shoot provides a solid foundation. Every department must clearly understand the profound connotation of the script. This film shows the living conditions of farmers in modern China and their pursuit of spiritual life. Make a movie of their own-this is their right to speak. The latest movie Nao is absolutely super funny, but it is not funny for humor's sake. It is a comedy with connotation and depth, which can make the audience feel the pain of history and the changes of our new countryside in China from careful jokes. Especially in the comedy of Henan dialect, we have made great efforts to let the national audience feel the humor of Henan people and the great changes in the new countryside of the Central Plains, which is our original intention. Looking at comedy movies, most sentences are humorous, which is the biggest difference between Nao and other serious war dramas. However, there is a saying that seeing sadness in joy is getting sadder and sadder. After bringing people joy, the film tells a tragic story, which makes people feel sad and shocked. The film is over, but those lines engraved with the spiritual strength of the characters in the play will leave a longer memory for the audience like the moving plot in the play. The film mainly tells the story of a group of wealthy farmers in Henan who overcame many difficulties and finally made a film. The biggest highlight of the film lies in the interesting story. Cai Youcai, a film projectionist, borrowed money everywhere and filmed a film with the theme of Japanese devils entering the village to commit various crimes. Because it was the first time to make a movie, he made a lot of jokes during the filming. He not only wanted to lose weight for Latin America, but also "pretended to do it" and almost caused a fire. Although they don't understand "montage", they made this film with tenacity and perseverance, which not only touched the whole village. The story we tell is unfolded in a specific era atmosphere and typical environment. A typical image is always inextricably linked with the era and environment that produced it. A profound analysis and understanding of the characteristics of the times and typical environment is the premise of accurately grasping the theme and character of the film. Second, the fuzziness of the theme and its ideological enlightenment. The drama shows the value orientation of farmers in China through the process of several farmers making movies, and puts forward a serious topic for the society, especially the younger generation, on how to treat history and war. This topic contains rich social content. How do young people view career, love and money? All this is precisely the ideological connotation of the film and the ambiguity of the theme. Complex but rich, showing the breadth of social life; Polysemy but profound, revealing the depth of social life. With the development of the story, the polysemous theme and rich ideological implication of the film will extend and deepen in the audience's thinking. Grasping the ambiguous theme and rich ideological connotation of the theme is something that every creator should pay attention to from beginning to end. It is detrimental to the fuzziness of the theme and the richness of ideological connotation, and it is detrimental to the overall style of the film. Third, the style and structure of the drama This is a comedy of the new countryside in China. It is like a gloomy and meaningful picture of life, which combines the ups and downs of life. It shows the life picture of farmers in mountainous areas changing their concepts and moving towards prosperity. It involves a real specific field. It is neither a few isolated seemingly distinct characters, nor a few philosophical chapters, nor even a legendary story. As an art, it is not to complete a simple, clear and fair truth, and of course it cannot be summarized by an artistic means. It needs a series of living people and a set of flowing pictures to compound and blend complex life phenomena. The audience is not passive, they should seek, think and draw their own conclusions from these intuitive feelings and natural forces. The film structure basically follows the objective narrative mode of our national tradition, which is unpretentious. However, in the analysis of characters' personality, a lot of psychological analysis techniques of modern art are borrowed. On the premise of not disturbing the concept of time and space in general, the method of time and space extension is adopted locally. In order to strengthen the clear psychological changes of the characters and see through the inner world of the characters. With this strong contrast and contrast, this film has become a unique style. Fourth, the performance style In real life, the degree of one's feelings is generally lower than the inner experience. This is because people as advanced animals have an instinct to control their feelings. The actor's emotional range in front of the camera must remain normal. In most cases, the performance of "incisively and vividly" will appear artificial and exaggerated. Experience should be real. It feels accurate Be subtle, but it's better to be steady! This requires actors to carefully design every modality of the characters, but at the same time, they must completely eliminate the design traces. Actors should complete their actions and dialogues in a simple way in front of the camera, just like in life. Some opera actors, in particular, should change the stylized performances on the stage and take the road of life. A performance without traces of performance is the best performance. We don't exclude improvisation, which often radiates strange brilliance. But we can't pin all our hopes on improvisation. If you don't do solid preparation and rehearsal, "See you on the spot" is unreliable. Our nation has always been known for being reserved. Our performance style also requires implicit connotation, so that it can be in harmony with national character, national appreciation psychology and unity. Unless the plot needs publicity. It is very important for every actor to grasp the degree of performance. V. Photography This is a comedy, and the style should not be too gloomy. Generally speaking, the tone of photography should be bright and soft. Green mountains and green waters, continuous ravines, quaint villas and scattered houses are unique scenery in the mountainous areas of the Central Plains. The picture should especially maintain the personality characteristics and local flavor of the environment. Various schools and styles permeate and influence each other, and it has become a common phenomenon in the development of modern art that you have me and I have you. Our drama will pursue the photographic style of combining documentary with painting. It not only forces the truth of Xiao's life, but also pays attention to aesthetic feeling and rendering that matches the mood and artistic conception of the characters. The lens scheduling should be natural and smooth, the composition is not so regular and dull, and there is no sharp angle. The use of light and color should not only be true, but also conform to the mood of the characters. Be especially careful when using zoom lenses. The spatial distortion caused by zoom push-pull destroys the depth of space and the realism of the picture. Therefore, it is generally not appropriate to use it more when shooting objective shots. Six, require the art department to choose scenery, scenery, clothing, props and color design should strive to be true and concise. Don't whitewash reality. All flashy and pretentious practices are futile and cannot reflect the theme. The choice of scenes is an important link in the aesthetic embodiment of movies. Whether it is the background of the times or the regional characteristics, it is an important means to convey information to the audience and understand the plot. As a comedy, the requirements for the scenery are relatively high, which naturally cannot be fully reflected, and the creator needs to handle it appropriately according to the needs of the plot. On the basis of the unification of main colors, the use of colors should be harmonious and smooth, reflecting the life picture of regional characteristics and local customs. Make-up pigment should be light, and skin feeling should be strong. Try to be natural and lively. Clothing should reproduce the characteristics of rural clothing in the Central Plains, starting with the characters, with bright colors and outstanding flavor of the times. Making a rural drama should truly reflect the rural scenery. Therefore, from character modeling to clothing, it must be simple and natural, and it must have the realism of the times. Otherwise, it is difficult to guide the audience into the reflected life, and it is even more difficult to resonate with the audience. [ 1]
