Chapter 2173： art needs

Today's third update, please recommend, please subscribe!

To be precise, the script "The King's Speech" is not a biography. It is an original script by David Seidler. There are many parts in the story that go against history. Evan Bell had some superficial interpretations of "The King's Speech" in his last life, and it became clearer after he became familiar with British history in this life.

Although George VI in the movie is stuttering and irritable, he is courageous and responsible. He strongly discourages Edward VIII from marrying Mrs. Simpson, and foresees the danger of Nazi Germany in advance, and warns his brother before ascending the throne. Later, he also showed the solemnity and prudence that a king should have, and he was a staunch anti-fascist from the very beginning.

But in fact, the historical George VI was actually a stubborn son. He used a very serious addiction to smoking. Under the protection of his father and brother, he lived a carefree life, and he had nothing to do with the so-called politics. Concerned, when he learned that he was going to be forced to ascend the throne, George VI was not only very unhappy, but also strongly shied his responsibilities. And one of the most serious mistakes was the attitude towards the Nazis in Germany. In the 1930s, the British royal family showed a favorable impression of the Nazis. It is well known that Edward VIII was always close to the Nazis. Le. In addition, George VI's "anti-Semitism" tendency was also very clear. At that time, the British government also showed great compromise to Germany's persecution of Jews.

From these direct comparisons, it can be seen that the "King's Speech" is very obvious for the beautification of George VI.

Film is an artistic means. In the world of art, it is normal to beautify some things according to the needs of the subject. The most common example in the world is the story of Cinderella. The poor girl meets the handsome and handsome prince and lives a happy and beautiful life. This is the most direct artistic beautification effect. Because in real life, the story of Cinderella itself is very rare, and the story of Cinderella and the prince living happily and forever together is even more rare. But on the movie screen, because of the needs of art, the cruelty and darkness of real life are screened out.

In terms of biographies, the most famous film for artistic beautification is "Beautiful Mind". "Beautiful Mind" tells the life of John Nash, a mathematician who suffered from schizophrenia but devoted his research in game theory and differential geometry to the Nobel Prize in Economics.

There are two huge differences between the film adaptation of "A Beautiful Mind" and the real biography. One is John Nash's wife, who is divorced in real life, and did not stick to it until old age. She stayed with John Nash only because of money. -There is no relationship between the two people around Nash; however, the movie portrays a classic female image who never abandons her love. The other is a fictional habit that does not exist in real life in the movie, that is, the faculty members at Princeton University will put their pens on a professor's desk to express their respect, which also becomes the end of the movie, the most important thing. A touching tearjerker.

These two differences are actually the most authentic artistic beautification effects. The former is to beautify love, and the latter is to increase the halo of heroes, which is expressed in this special form. This so-called artistic beautification effect has enhanced and consolidated the overall artistry of "Beautiful Mind", which has also won it Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and other awards.

It can be seen that in fact, the need for artistic beautification is very common in the field of film. In the famous Oscar best picture "Braveheart", this kind of artistic beautification has been built to its peak - the factual errors are listed in a day and a night, all the characters and historical time and space are confused, and the life trajectories of the characters Fatal changes have also occurred.

The technique of "the king's speech" can also be called artistic need, but Evan Bell does not agree with it. Because this is completely to add a halo to George VI, not for the needs of the plot, but purely to push the glorious image of George VI to the peak, including his attitude towards the Nazis, his attitude towards the throne, and his concern for the people. It's all made in the form of a hero. This is not just an artistic beautification effect, it can be said that it is a distortion of fact.

In Evan Bell's view, it's like being a model of social ethics because a robber obeys the traffic lights when crossing the street. While this metaphor is a bit over the top, it's the truth. The biggest highlight of George VI's political career was the radio speech that inspired the British people, and in the process he overcame his stutter. In addition, there are no more highlights in the history of George VI, but "The King's Speech" is to magnify this bright spot infinitely, and other shortcomings are also attached to the halo and become an advantage.

In fact, "The King's Speech" is of special significance to the screenwriter David Seidler. Like George VI, he stuttered since childhood and experienced World War II. The story of George VI became his overcoming The biggest motivation for stuttering. For David Seidler, George VI was his hero.

This makes the "King's Speech" even less positive. It's like fans are watching idols. Naturally, everything is good. This is very biased. To put it a bit harsher, if you asked the Nazis to make a movie about Shih T. Le, it is estimated that it will be equally brilliant.

"Mark, do you still think I would be the most suitable candidate for this movie?" Evan Bell threw out all his doubts, making Mark Foligno stop. Although Evan Bell's deep knowledge of history is an advantage, it's not a good sign when Evan Bell knows even more than Mark Foligno.

Marc Foligno smiled bitterly, "Evan, you can understand that this is the need of art."

Evan Bell put the script down and looked at Mark Foligno with a wide-open smile, "Mark, I don't know if you know anything about my work, personally, I am more The hope is to focus on the themes of social reality, not to create a heroic image."

Among Evan Bell's works, history-related ones include "Perfume" and "The Blood Will Come", both of which were locked in the social reality of the historical situation at that time, and Evan Bell did not want to Highlighting the brilliance of historical heroes, in comparison, Jean-Baptiste-Grenoye and Daniel-Plevy, who have the imprint of the times and dark colors, are what Evan Bell is really interested in. In addition, look at the works of "Mysterious Skin", "Little Sunshine", "Juno", and "In the Clouds", all of which are works that reflect some aspects of society.

A work like "The King's Speech" that takes personal heroism to the extreme has never been Evan Bell's first choice, not even his second choice. There are only two truly heroic works in Evan Bell's career: "Enemies Mechanical" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". "Mechanical Enemy" is already a work in 2004, and he has officially withdrawn from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. It can be seen that Evan Bell is not interested in this type of work.

For Evan Bell's insistence, Mark Foligno found himself at a loss for words, and it was indeed difficult for him to come up with an effective argument to persuade Evan Bell. Just as he was trying to use his brain, Evan Bell continued, "Mark, I don't know why you still insist on me, but in my opinion, I have never been a follower. People, and what 'The King's Speech' needs is an orthodox director and actor, I don't think we'll be very happy working together."

Mark Foligno felt a little frustrated, and he came all the way to New York because he believed that Evan Bell and the proposal of "The King's Speech" could spark infinite sparks. Imagine where there is an actor with innate advantages like Evan Bell who can perfectly present George VI. After all, not everyone can play a good king. The most important thing is that Evan Bell's excellent control in the director's position is definitely a choice that can spark countless sparks for such an atmospheric historical work as "The King's Speech".

Seeing Mark Foligno, a man who can be his grandfather, showing a look of grievance and regret in front of him, Evan Bell was really dumbfounded, "Mark, I think you must also hope that you can shoot an excellent film. works, and in the entertainment industry, it has never been indispensable."

Mark Foligno found that Evan Bell actually took the initiative to come to comfort him, and he couldn't help but smile, but the smile was a little helpless and bitter. "Evan, although you say so, I still hope you can leave the script read it carefully before making a decision, okay?"

Just now, Evan Bell just read the script roughly, and more was listening to Mark Foligno explaining the story. Evan Bell felt a little helpless when he heard this. He really has no interest in "The King's Speech" now. Even if he leaves the script, he will not read it again, because he has made a decision, and this is the end. 's decision.

Evan Bell opened his mouth, and the words of his refusal were already on his lips, but looking at Marc Foligno in front of him, recalling that the old man showed real sincerity in order to invite him to the door in person, and he refused. Just can't tell. After a pause, Evan Bell continued, "Mark, I'll keep the script."

There was an immediate smile on Mark Foligno's face, but Evan Bell went on to say, "I promise to read the script, but I rarely change my final decision. So, I think, you should more consideration."

Hearing this, Mark Foligno knew that he couldn't force it any more. He nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, if I don't do my best for this proposal, maybe this work won't work." Whether it is Screenwriter David Seidler, or producer Mark Foligno, are not attractive people in the film circle, so it naturally takes more effort to make the script a movie.
