This movie is just complaining.
The most ridiculous thing in the world is a wedding.
The imagined wedding is sacred and sweet, but in reality, it is often nerve-wracking and frustrating.
It is tantamount to a big show, where the bride and groom perform in front of the stage, and the guests watch it in real time under the stage.
And the most in a hurry is the backstage staff - the wedding company.
[No coincidence is not married], from the perspective of the wedding company, depicts a catastrophic wedding.
After reading it, I couldn't help but feel distressed about the wedding.
All the meat was spoiled, and the ingredients were temporarily borrowed from a nearby hotel.
Most of the staff in the wedding team fell down with food poisoning because they put their stomachs first.
Before that, quickly fill the guests with salty meringues that sell salt and soda water to support their stomachs.
There are also various team conflicts...
These are all minor issues.
They even lost the groom.
In the show where the groom confesses to the bride in the sky, the groom is supposed to be wearing a balloon and float all the way to the bride in the air.
As a result, the person pulling the balloon gave up...
If you've ever had a wedding, or at least attended a wedding, you should generally understand that having a wedding is really tiring.
Standing all day, arranging seats carefully, remembering the procedures... more tiring than going to work.
A careless, but also an unforgivable accident.
Getting married is as hard as making a movie.
Maybe I think too much, but I always feel that this is also a portrayal of the directors' filming.
The directors said that they did everything to raise money to make short films.
Painter, DJ, diver, waiter.
In the process, they watched the "vicissitudes" of the party. That's where the comedy came from.
Making movies, you have to go through these vicissitudes.
I suspect that it's just that the director is not able to explain it clearly, but looking at the behind-the-scenes scenes of various movies, there have never been many accidents like [No Coincidental Marriage].
From this odd angle, the film feels like a whimper.
01
Party A
not a passerby
The bride and groom are both actors and parties.
The identity of Party A is equivalent to the producer in the movie.
No appetizers are required for any meal, and the white borders are removed from the photos.
There are others, it is not bad money, but especially to show their ingenuity.
This stinky and long speech makes people sleepy.
Olivier and Eric filmed in Europe, with a director-centred system. But the counterparts in the United States, under the shadow of the production-centered system, are unavoidable to tear them apart.
[Blade Runner], [Alien 3], the battle between director and producer has been widely circulated in the market; many years later [Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice], it is still the same routine.
The director wanted to cut it like this, but the producer felt that it was going to blow the box office, so he shortened the length of the film or changed the ending.
Of course, most of the time, this kind of battle is an undercurrent. But if the director's leopard-print temper was really summoned, the result would be like [unhappily married]:
The typical representative of the leopard print director is Terry Gilliam.
The film has achieved good results in Europe. But the American distributor, Universal, insisted that the film could not make money in the United States.
So Universal decided to shorten the 142-minute movie to 90 minutes, the soundtrack had to be changed, and the ending had to be changed.
When the two sides signed the contract, Gilliam had already handed over the final editing rights.
Ordinary people think this is impossible.
But Gilliam rented a full-page advertisement in "Variety" and sent an open letter to Sidney Seanberg, president of Universal's parent company:
Seanberg was also angry. He told the Los Angeles Times: "If his film is so perfect, let someone else buy it. We don't want it. We can afford this loss."
Next, Gilliam showed the unedited version to the Los Angeles Film Society. After winning their support, Universal finally released a 132-minute version.
It's true that the movie didn't make any money in the United States, but it was nominated for two Oscars and became a genre classic.
Guillermo del Toro, who just won an Oscar, had a similar experience.
Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein (yes, the two who got cold) came to the set from time to time to "pause", always complaining that the movie wasn't scary enough.
They let people shoot a lot of "jumping out and scary" scenes to "make up" for the "deficiencies" of the film.
They also killed a Toro-designed interracial couple.
On the 2011 Blu-ray release, Toro commented on the director's soundtrack: "America wasn't ready to present interracial marriage in mainstream movies, and I felt like I was blown back to the Middle Ages."
There is also [Paradise Cinema], the public release version is generally better than the director's cut version.
But the torment of Party A and Party B is always really annoying.
02
partner
Dislike
Whether it's a movie or a wedding, it's a team job.
However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
When the staff did not like each other, the project suffered.
In "No Coincidence, No Marriage", the singer and the head chef have to fight over which department comes first and which department comes after.
When filming [World War Z], there were differences in the writing stage.
Director Mark Foster wanted to focus the film on action, while screenwriter J. Michael Strasinski wanted to restore the original, arguing that action would break up the story.
After a stalemate, the screenwriter was fired.
[Unhappily not married] Can't do that. The wedding is today, and it's impossible to fire anyone.
It is equivalent to, at the end of [Zombie World War], Brad Pitt cannot be fired casually.
At the end of the film's production, the production was extremely difficult, and the entire third act and ending had to be reworked, and the production deadline was less than three weeks away.
Reports suggest that Pitt and the director have declined to communicate. During the reshoot, the director's intentions must be communicated through the intermediary.
However, the director came forward to deny it, believing that production difficulties fed these rumors.
During the filming of [Song in the Rain], Debbie Reynolds, who had no foundation in dancing, was often scolded by Gene Kelly to the point of crying.
Once, she was spotted by a passing Fred Astaire, crying under the piano.
Even later, Debbie said, an actor like Gene really had a lot of patience to direct someone like me who had absolutely no dance skills; he was the most exciting director I've ever worked with.
But Gene's subsequent compliment sounded odd: "Fortunately, Debbie is as tough as a cow. And she's also a great imitator who doesn't have to work too hard for the most complicated routines."
The pink bubbles in front of the screen are nothing short of miraculous.
03
staff
no sense of urgency
The most irritating and powerless thing is that everyone else is so busy that they can't wait to blow the air, and he is still leisurely wandering.
Eat all the desserts of the guests.
This happened to James Cameron.
British gentlemen stipulated in the "Trade Union Law" that ten o'clock in the morning and four in the afternoon are tea time.
Cameron was already an all-rounder back then, not only as a director, but also in every aspect.
Kashen is so busy that he is flying, but mortals only focus on drinking tea. You are not angry if you say that.
Finally one day, Cameron raised his hand and overturned the dining table.
Since then, Cameron has been nicknamed "Terror Adam" by the British crew.
You will find that you can't deal with such people without scolding them.
But often scolding is still not enough.
04
office romance
affecting work
He also said back to the two enemies, who called each other "the guy with shit in his head".
And call at the wrong time.
What does this mean, students?
An office romance is about to go awry.
Romance on set is generally not a problem.
Like Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams in [Brokeback Mountain].
Or like [Mother! ] Darren Aronofsky and Jennifer Lawrence.
But there are exceptions.
I guess you think the same as I do.
Originally a good director and muse. As soon as Jin Minxi entered the film industry, he was worth as much as 300 million won (about 1.8 million yuan).
Hong Shangxiu is also one of the five tigers of Korean directors and an idol of literary youth.
As soon as this extramarital affair + year-end love was announced, the whole country was in an uproar.
The two are 22 years apart, and Hong Sangxiu's wife firmly disagrees with the divorce.
And Hong Shangxiu ran away from home in 2015 and said to his wife, "I want to live with other women. You should also find other men."
Kim Min-hee won the Berlin movie queen with their work [Night by the Sea Alone], which is precisely about the actress and the director cheating.
Korean audiences certainly didn't buy it.
They said that it was completely different from the mood of Jeon Do-yeon when she won the Cannes Film Actress.
Therefore, each collaborative work has its own controversy outside the work.
[Not getting married by coincidence] Of course not [Buying a murderer].
The latter is an intentional reference to the various disasters in the making of the film.
But every kind of team work will encounter more or less the situation of [unhappy marriage].
Which line is free from natural and man-made disasters, cheating Party A, incompetent Party B and pig teammates?
