Watching Chaoshan Movies from The Master Guarantees the Title.

0 1 202 1 The first Chaoshan film "Old Master Q Title Protection"

65438+ 10/5, Chaoshan's "family" movie "Old Master Q Baohao" entered the national cinema with the expectation of Chaoshan people. This is a Chaoshan movie that has won the dragon mark in recent years after "Dad I Can Do It" and "English Song Soul".

Based on the true story of Yizhi Group, a famous rap group in Chaoshan, this film tells the story of three young people, including Chen Weihao, Dazu and Meatball, who are passionate and rebellious in Chaoshan and love hip-hop music. They were ridiculed and questioned, and finally gained their musical dreams and love growth stories through struggle and momentum. Among them, the musical dream-chasing line of the protagonist Chen Weihao and others runs through the ending of the film, and the plot line of the protagonist's affection and love is interspersed among them.

In order to highlight the authentic Chaoshan flavor, "Old Master Q Baohao" increased the proportion of dialogue in Chaoshan dialect to 90%, the cast was all Chaoshan people, and 95% of the filming locations were in the Chaoshan town-Puning. It can be seen that the box office of this film can be said to be above Chaoshan people in the country.

Although there are some flaws in the body language responses of characters in some dialogues, the love story between Dazu and Chen Weihao lacks plot preparation, especially the plot in which the heroine Marin falls into the water and the hero Chen Weihao meets in the first part. The combination of two people's feelings from warming up to ending seems a bit hasty. To sum up, the narrative integrity of the film still has some shortcomings.

However, compared with the previous Chaoshan films, Old Master Q Baohao is relatively mature in plot compactness and contradiction formation and resolution, and it does not deliberately piece together illogical comedy scenes in order to highlight comedy elements. Among them, the scene of Chen Weihao's mother (Li Jinlan, played by the older generation of Chaozhou opera artist Li Lianxiang) appearing in the yard after her death is also remarkable.

In order to make this film well, the chief producer invited the leader of a famous rap group in Chaoshan to be the music producer of this play. Art Troupe is a hip-hop music group born and raised in Chaoshan, and its members are all young people from Chaoshan, who are committed to the promotion and development of Chaozhou hip-hop.

As a hip-hop group in a minority dialect, the development of a group in these years can be said to be "hard". This experience also makes the team's music full of styles that highlight local labels and are eager to be recognized. And mushrooms also continue this style into movie music.

One refers to the main members of the group.

Chaozhou opera, as a cultural card of Chaoshan, is one of the important contents that Chaoshan movies are keen to present. In order to capture the authentic Chaoshan flavor of the film, a large number of classic fragments of Chaozhou opera appeared in the film, which to some extent reproduced the style of Chaozhou opera troupe, opened a window for the audience to re-understand Chaozhou opera and evoked memories of a large number of Chaoshan people.

The content of the film also discusses the proposition of "the decline and fall of Chaozhou Opera". In the film, Chen Weihao's mother, Li Jinlan, is a senior Chaozhou opera actress. Although I love the stage as much as my son, and his son is not interested in Chaozhou opera and is keen on hip-hop, his mother still supports his son in pursuing his musical dream. At the end of the film, Li Jinlan's death is the code word. In the context of the accidental burning of meatballs, Chen Chuxin, the head of Chaozhou Opera, said, "The troupe is gone, Chaozhou Opera is gone".

"Chaoshan is developing too fast now. We searched all over Chaoshan, but we couldn't find the old Chaozhou Opera Troupe. So let's just pay our own money and build an antique Chaozhou Opera Troupe on the open space. " -Director Gao Feng of Master Bao Hao

Finally, the film seems to give a train of thought-combining Chaozhou opera with pop music.

In the film, the three protagonists didn't appreciate Chaozhou Opera from the beginning, and gradually learned about Chaozhou Opera. Finally, they integrated Chaozhou Opera elements into the creation of Chaozhou rap music, bringing Chaozhou Opera costumes and lyrics to the stage of rap. They awaken young people to inherit the soul of Chaozhou opera culture through a rap stage full of Chaozhou opera elements. Du, the chief producer of Chaoshan people, also said: "Chaozhou opera is the symbolic culture of Chaoshan people, and I want more young people to like it and accept it."

From sketch to film

Chaoshan people have always had a movie dream.

Before liberation, Zheng Qiuzheng and Cai Chusheng, the directors of four hit films of Old Shanghai Beach, were both Chaoshan people. Among them, Yu, directed by Cai Chusheng, was released for 84 days in a row, creating a box office miracle, and another film, A River Flowing East, directed by him even triggered a grand occasion of being released in Shanghai for more than three months.

But that's all in the past.

Popular film and television works with Chaoshan theme have always been scarce, and it is far from enough to make film and television works in minority dialects only by feelings. For a long time, the screen dreams of Chaoshan people were piled up by Chaoshan sketches. In Chaoshan, Chaoshan dialect sketches have a deep mass base and have been warmly welcomed and sought after by the audience.

? Prose "Laughing at Journey to the West"

At the end of last century, there were a number of folk artists in Chaoshan area, most of whom came from organizations such as drama groups and Chaozhou opera groups, and performed sitcoms in Chaoshan dialect, which set off a craze for sketches. Some artists have set up studios, launched a large number of well-known sketches and comedies, and entered thousands of households with the help of local mainstream media. Later, a number of well-known "comedians" were born, such as Shui Ji, Zhao Shuguang, Cai Shanchang and Fang Zhanrong.

From One Yuan and Two Grains, Mark Six Maze, My Brother, the Hunan Sister in Chaoshan, to the Story of Paifang Street and the Head and the End of the Board, Chaoshan prose has been blooming in Chaoshan with the fruitful achievements of reform and opening up in the first decade of the new century.

Through the theme essay "Who is the Gold Medal"

However, in order to pursue comedy effect, most of the sketches are old-fashioned and mediocre in theme, plain and simple in plot, and relatively rough in production, which are for the entertainment of the public after dinner and have no aftertaste except making people laugh. With the advent of the Internet era, a group of old artists have quit one after another, and the capital can't see the future of sketch, and the sketch business has begun to appear green and yellow, and it has to go down.

20 16 "make me laugh" finals

After that, the talent show represented by the Chaozhou Humor Interpretation Competition and the Script Creation Competition "Let me laugh" jointly produced by Chaoshan three cities once again set off a sketch craze. However, most of the contestants participating in the program are folk amateurs, and there is no perfect training mode in the later stage of the program, so it is difficult to submit the sketch matchsticks to the new generation.

Although some people with lofty ideals still insist on performing sketches, it is difficult to produce works as popular as before. Chaoshan people who didn't see the revival of sketches witnessed the rapid prosperity of China film market and began to call for Chaoshan's "family fun" movies.

20 18, the first song "Dad, I Come" was born, and Chaoshan people ran to tell each other. (In 20 12, Love from Love came out as the first film in Chaoshan, but it didn't get the dragon label.) Lan Hongchun, the creator of Dad, I can do it, is the photographer of Love from Love.

Although the script and theme of the work can't be compared with the first-line movies, the comedy element has a strong flavor of "drama sketch", but after all, the first tree was planted on the Gobi Desert of Chaoshan theme movies.

Later, on 20 19, the soul of English songs came out, and now, Chaoshan movies have also become popular in recent years.

Where will Chaoshan movies go?

It can be predicted that there will be more Chaoshan movies in the future. In the next few years, Chaoshan movies will still be in the exploration stage. This stage is the stage of "emotional satisfaction", and the task and function of Chaoshan movies are mainly to meet the basic needs of hipsters for hometown movies. In the meantime, the local audience will not immediately demand it with too high an artistic standard.

With the first stage of exploration, the second stage will open the "drainage" mode. If every part of the works in the early stage is labeled as "Chaoshan", then the second stage is to slowly tear off some, further embrace the mainstream market, explore the tastes of the public outside Chaoshan people, and tell more stories about Chaoshan and the world. The flow depression of Chaoshan theme film market will gradually form. In addition, a number of local traffic stars will gradually rise in the second half of the year to prepare for the real blockbuster production.

And "exploring the theme of the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture" will run through its development process, which is also the original intention of many film and television workers who make Chaoshan films.

The urgent task at present is to get rid of "naivety" as soon as possible, jump out of the framework of "sketch" when creating comedy elements, and put an end to deliberately funny and illogical stacking of comedy elements. On the theme of the work, we can continue to adhere to the key word "inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture" and refine the story into a typical literary and art worker. On the other hand, Chaoshan area is famous for its "attaching importance to business" and is also a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. There is much to be done in the business story born in this land. Showing the life picture of migrant workers entering the tide after the reform and opening up, and reflecting the changes of the times with the collision and integration of culture and people, may be more likely to cause people outside the Chaoshan group to sing.

This road has just begun. It still needs the efforts of this generation to turn Gobi into a forest.
