Overnight, "Back to the Village for Three Days, Erye has ruled my mental internal consumption" (hereinafter referred to as "Eryi") from station B to the circle of friends, and from friends to the entire network. As of now, the video The playback volume has exceeded 26 million times, and the popular video list of the fault airborne station B is topped.

The story of this ordinary mountain village has briefly healed the spiritual internal consumption of many netizens, and those who arrived with the heat were also explored this work with various purposes, and even the person who guessed Erji and the author Yigo. Among them, there are no shortage of suggestions on the big screen stage on the big screen.

Regarding this issue, Yi Ge's conjecture quickly gave a rejection response. He said that there were indeed a few screenwriters and a director found him after the short film became popular, but he was not very enthusiastic about the incident. In his opinion, the story of Eryu is not enough to support 90 minutes of long movies, because Erji has no dense conflict and contradictions. "So after this movie was shot, I think it may not be so good. "

However, it is obvious that no matter whether the original author is willing to authorize the adaptation, the huge heat temptation is destined to be the new film and television work prototype. But now we need to judge that it is feasible to copy a "Second" on the big screen?

Copy "Two Mo"

Strictly speaking, "Second" is not a new topic. Even a few decades ago have been widely recognized by the market. Just like many netizens remembered the blessing in "Living" after watching "Second". Perhaps the life of Erji is not as twists as the novel characters, but in essence, the stubbornness and openness in front of suffering are conveyed. Essence

From a more extensive perspective, the topic of "Second" also completely cut the combination of realistic theme+little people. Starting from "I'm Not the Medicine God", in recent years, a large number of small people's narrative real -themed films have emerged in the mainstream domestic film market, and they have experienced market inspection many times.

Therefore, from the perspective of the topic selection, "Second" is fully the possibility of being copied.

The production level is even more problematic. It must be acknowledged that "Second", which is similar to the video, is by no means a complete art work, and the original author has never avoided it.

In contrast, the team of mature film creators can use more professional methods to combine images with text and stories, so that the seemingly trivial daily clips can also have the ability to convey emotions, and it can also make the "Second" " The second sister who is out of words is even more fresh.

As for the content, as the author said, as an ordinary person, most of his life may be suffering in the eyes of many young people born in the new era, but this is far less than the extent required by art works. Presumably any professional screenwriter can create a more dramatic role.

The difficulty is obviously not here.

In our opinion, the reason why the second work of "Second" can become popular because of its extensive resonance. This short film hit a lot of people's pain points, because it can not only evoke the memories of rural comers with similar experiences, but also make cities who have never lived in this kind of life shocked. This internal empathy is the lack of many realistic works at the moment.

How to keep the creation be true and unsatisfactory, and at the same time full of drama, this proposition may continue to be discussed forever. Now, at least "Second" gives a powerful answer. Perhaps the real character and sincere emotions do not need too much moisturizing, flat language and some green images, which is also enough to give the audience deeply.

Of course, the popularity of "Second" also has the background factors of the times. Our "main theme society" seems to have left the "suffering narrative" for too long, or in other words, Chinese audiences are not willing to consume pain. However, in recent years, the huge turn of social background seems to have learned more people to relive "suffering" to find comfort and self -healing. The "humble and great" second is a good example.

In the final analysis, the popularity of "Second Mo" is a time and place of people, and it is inseparable from the accurate entry angle and the appropriate resonance timing. Therefore, for the "replicators", on the basis of telling a new story that allows the audience to empathize, and letting this story be released in a timely manner, it seems to be the root cause of the problem.

In addition, the content scale and value orientation are important creative difficulties. How to express the so -called "suffering" and "emotion" in an appropriate form, which may be more important in movie creation than the content itself. This is probably a clever processing skills.

"Two Mo" that is difficult to replace

In the past for a long time, the countryside was a rich mine -rich mine created by Chinese movies. Early films have a strong rural brand.

With the change of the times, in the 1990s, a group of sixth -generation directors, such as Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, and other large changes in reform and opening up. Quarantine crowd. Behind these films have distinctive characteristics.

After entering this century, on the one hand, the high -speed development of society has gradually concentrated on the custody of the city's attention to the city. Perspective. These factors superimposed have evolved into a more diverse form. Black humorous "Hello!" "Mr. Shu", the rural hanging case "Heart Lama", the rural comedy "Sherlock on the Plain", the main theme rural drama "A little bit", the pseudo -documentary form "Auspicious Ruyi" ... "Hidden into the dust and smoke", these films are the hands of the new generation of young directors without exception.

But it is also necessary to admit that, compared to the "Second Two", which is less than 12 minutes long and the lens language is very small, these more complete long pieces are more or less printed with some niche colors. At the level of spreading and reaching the range, it may not be as good as "Two".

The times have changed, literary creators have changed their understanding of the countryside, and their understanding of realistic themes has also changed.

And I am afraid that this is also the most difficult step in the process of copying the "Two Two".

Imagine that if you follow the current mainstream realistic themes, there may be two trends in "Second".

Either emphasize "pain" and become a literary film. For example, the recently released "Hidden Dust Smoke" is actually similar creative logic, and fortunately, it also caught up with a loose schedule environment and a group of audiences who understand it, and got the opportunity to counterattack. However, the literary and artistic lens language and narrative techniques are doomed that this film will always be a niche movie. "Second" similar to topic selection may not be an exception.

On the contrary, if you follow the logic of the commercial film, add more drama conflicts and emotional ups and downs to the "Two", although it can bring the emotional concentration in a short time, but it is also likely to dilute the kernel power of the film.

The more typical case is the summer "Life Event". Of course, this example is not appropriate in terms of subject matter. In the end, we saw the obscure and complicated character expression in the film we saw, and replaced it with a more flat and distinct character positioning. The development rhythm of the flat and fast story was extremely distinctive.

But these mildness that may be removed is exactly the most thought -provoking point in "Second". In the story of "Second", because there is no such dramatic conflict and complex lens language, it brings greater stamina to the audience and lament the tenacity of the Chinese people. Some emotions lost their strength in the instead.

I am afraid it is because of this that "Two" has become the unique "Second". It is not a simple matter to move on the big screen.
