Subtitle of this chapter: Literary and artistic mouth cannon

It’s not our Master Yuan who looks down on the appreciation level of the people in the 21st century, but he dares to say with confidence that a movie like “The Party’s Joint Struggle” will still not be able to recover the cost in the film market a hundred years later.

The idea of ​​this film is very grand and lofty. In short, it is the complex opposition between good and evil in human nature. Human beings use the true feelings and conscience in human nature to fight against cruelty and hypocrisy that also come from human nature.

To express this theme, David Griffith edited four paragraphs of the four stories: the modern chapter "Mother and the Law", the Jewish chapter "The Passion of Christ", the medieval French chapter "St. Bartholomew's Holocaust (Note 1)" and the ancient chapter "The Fall of Babylon" and the ancient chapter "The Fall of Babylon" and used the "alternating montage" technique to allow the four stories to appear alternately.

The parallel spread of the four plots creates a strong sense of urgency, and finally forms a rush of emotions... brings the audience a heart-warming feeling!

Let’s review Comrade Qu Yuan’s “Chu Ci”. “Yangchun Baixue” is good, but the author cannot get enough. “Xialibaren” has a low standard, one iphone7 per month.

After Griffith used this film to cheat investors, he established Lianyi, one of the eight major studios with Chaplin and others, but he still made one film and lost another, so that his partners were unwilling to invest in his films.

So the big director, who had a bad career, took his female disciple to New York to find investors. Unfortunately, Wall Street bankers are not good at watching movies. Griffith, who has been rejected countless times, finally got an invitation to a costume party held by the Baker family, and wanted to take this opportunity to get a relationship with Mr. George Baker, but unexpectedly it became cheaper Yuan Yanshu.

Our Master Yuan asked casually: "David, besides the director, you are also a screenwriter, right?"

Griffith nodded and said, "Yes."

In fact, his original ideal was to become a playwright, but unfortunately he couldn't have enough food to be a stage drama screenwriter. In desperation, he reluctantly joined Edison as a movie screenwriter in 1908. However, because there were too few actors, he was taken to act again...

Alas, a hundred years later, for the opportunity to play, those young actors around the world are willing to act, not to mention the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, the Sino-Soviet relationship, and the Sino-Soviet relationship, were willing. However, in the 1920s, some people were forced to be actors because they couldn't have enough food. It was really sad to think about it.

Later, he switched to biograph-company. Once the director of the movie he starred in fell ill, and the boss forced him to change from an actor to a director. However, even though he became a successful director, David Griffith still had a special liking for the screenwriter. The above mentioned above "The Party's Joint Counterfeiting" was written by him.

"Bang!"

Yuan Yan suddenly slapped her in the face and said, "David, this is the problem!"

"This..." The great director, who had lost confidence after being hit by a series of failures in recent years, did not refute it, but instead humbly asked for advice, "Please tell me."

Oh, it’s so terrifying that we Master Yuan’s appetite for brainwashing literary and artistic people. Of course, it’s better to be more literary and artistic.

Our Master Yuan vomited a smoke ring and said, "If we trace the source of film art, it must be painting and sculpture. The reason for the emergence of these two is called Mummy... Well, the complexe-of-mummy. The ancients thought that our bodies, sculptures, and portraits carried part of our souls, which is also one of the origins of various witchcraft and religions around the world."

He pointed to the ancient Egyptian costumes on the great directors and actresses, and continued: "For example, the ancient Egyptians believed in the religion to fight life and death. They believed that the body would not corrupt and life would last forever, so they made so many mummies. This religion caters to the most basic psychological requirements of mankind: to fight against time, and even to defeat time!"

Yuan Yanshu sighed with regret: "Hey, but with the evolution of art and civilization, we realize that there is no identity between human beings themselves and these statues. However, if people do not see the eternal need of form to overcome the passage of time in our blind admiration for paintings and sculptures, then..."

"Sare Sava thin stockings..."

After he finished showing off his French, he looked at the confused expressions of the three next to him, shook his head slightly and said lightly: "This is what Pascal in the 17th century French master... is what Pascal on the barometer said, and paintings became false things."

After our Master Yuan said this, let alone Mr. Griffith, who came out to be a reporter at the age of 17, Miss Jish, who has been acting since childhood in order to support her family, and even Mr. Baker, a master's student in the Department of Political Science and Economics, was convinced. The three of them also showed an unknown expression on their faces!

It would be fine if two stinky men, but Yuan Yanshu didn't like their faces. However, a layer of mist appeared in Miss Egg Tat's beautiful eyes, and the green onion-white gaze made him... you know.

I know why people have to study philosophy. The ancient Greeks have long told us that philosophy is to love wisdom. With wisdom, you can crush others with your IQ. I have to say that the compatriots of "Helen of Sparta" are so honest.

Because you know, Yuan Yan had to adjust her sitting posture and calm her mind, and then said: "The advancement of technology has brought us a new art form of film, but we must realize that movies are completely different than paintings and sculptures."

"The image captures clips of events in this world, freeing them from the fate that had passed with time, only recording them not artistic magic, but indifferent mechanical effect. The film is not about creating eternity, but about spices on those clips, and saves them from the corrosion of time, just like the mummies made by the ancient Egyptians."

"The objectivity of images itself has a convincing power that is incomparable to any painting and sculpture work, but at the same time, the artists who make images also lose the opportunity for painters and sculptors to show strong personality in their works! Then..."

Yuan Yan suddenly looked at the great director very seriously and asked, "Mr. David Griffith, do-you-understand?"

Griffith nodded with a sudden enlightenment, then shook his head with a frown.

Our Master Yuan nodded in his heart. He is worthy of being a genius movie master. As expected, a child can teach him.
