"500 is 500!"

Wu Di agreed to the purchase, and the agreement was formed instantly. The points were quickly credited to his account. The system shouted "Thank you for your patronage" and disappeared again.

Wu Di no longer cares about how many points are left.

Anyway, it is enough, and even if it is not enough, there is still a system to protect him. Wu Di now has this kind of confidence, and this dog-legged system is reluctant to let him go back to his previous life.

Wu Di nestled on the sofa and found a comfortable position.

Although it is a bad movie, you still have to bite the bullet and watch it!

I also need to find a better position to watch comfortably so as not to be irritated by bad movies and make me vomit.

100 minutes have passed...

But Wu Di seems to have had a bleak autumn!

Why is it so long?

Obviously it's just a short 100-minute movie! It's neither Gone with the Wind nor Cleopatra!

You know, when watching those old movies, Wu Di would not feel restless, as if he would despair if he watched them for one more second.

However, this movie is really...

It can only be said that humorous cells are really a rare resource that not everyone can possess, and those who are not humorous to begin with should not embarrass themselves anymore.

The most important thing is that it also embarrasses the audience.

Is this thing funny?

Is it really funny?

From Lao Zhang's point of view, he must think that it is very funny, very funny, very humorous, and it can also add suspense elements to the humor.

Humorous, suspenseful and gripping, what a wonderful experience!

Of course, this is just Lao Zhang's imagination, and the actual finished product is not so beautiful, at least, it cannot be considered amazing.

And the feedback from the market is the same, because after filming this movie, for a few years, Lao Zhang's reputation took a sharp turn, which was very embarrassing.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang has thick blood. If it had been anyone else, he would have been photographed stupidly.

So, are the subsequent evaluations of this movie appropriate? Is there any suspicion of deliberate evil?

If in the previous life, Wu Di only heard such rumors and didn't take them to heart, but now, he really has a personal experience.

This movie is really incredible.

It is really difficult to shoot a comedy movie, not to mention that it is even more difficult to combine comedy with suspense elements.

Don't always be confused by some film critics, who think that making comedies has no style and no future. If you want to show style, you have to make feature films, so-called dramas.

In fact, it's not that comedies are low-key, it's that many directors are pretentious and always feel that comedies have the lowest entry barrier in the directing industry, so they always harm comedies.

It's their low level that makes comedies boring and challenges the audience's nerves.

In fact, it is very difficult to shoot an excellent comedy film. First of all, to shoot an excellent comedy film, you must first have a heart full of humor and knowledge.

Many people think that comedies only need to make people laugh, but that is a one-sided view.

Many comedy movies have dense lines, and the style elements of comedy are also reflected in these lines.

How to write humorous lines requires, of course, whether the director or screenwriter has good personal qualities, which is called having a good mind.

Only then can those interesting lines be skillfully placed in the movie and presented in a good way.

It can be said that making comedy is a talent, and not just anyone can do it.

Even if you are a famous director with a great reputation, you still can't do it when you should.

Furthermore, comedy movies also have an underlying tendency.

It can be roughly divided into two categories. One category is what we often see, the so-called vulgar comedy with shit and urine as its core.

This kind of comedy is effortless to shoot, and sometimes it can cater to people's vulgar needs. By chance, it does well at the box office.

The most important thing is that this kind of shit comedy usually requires very little investment and is set in a modern city.

Since the investment is small, the possibility of getting back the money is higher, so a little bit of box office is enough to make the next movie.

Whether they are directors or investors, there are some short-sighted people who often value immediate interests.

If shit-and-pee comedy makes money, then we will continue to invest in the next one. The selection of materials for the next one will not be much different, and we will still follow this dirty route.

A snowballing vicious cycle begins.

Many people think that comedy movies are not high-end and have no unusual origins. They are just this kind of comedy.

What about the second type of comedy?

Needless to say, it is of course the kind of comedy that is both humorous and stylish, purely relying on human wit and inspiration.

In such an excellent movie, you can't find any vulgar elements. It is elegant, humorous and lighthearted.

Like a feather, it gently stirs people's itches, making them laugh or feel happy.

This is the realm that high-end comedy movies should reach.

After all, Lao Zhang is no longer a newbie in movies.

After so many years of filming, everyone already knows how good he is.

The only one who doesn't know is maybe himself.

After all, if he had his heart set on it, he wouldn't want to shoot such a subject that he's not good at at all.

There are specializations in the arts, and this principle also applies to filmmaking.

Judging from his past achievements, what Lao Zhang is good at are the kind of pure dramas with a very simple core story.

And now, look at this new script in front of you.

One side is suspense, the other side is comedy.

Tsk tsk...

There are many outstanding films in the history of film that combine suspense and comedy, and the leader among them is Billy Sr.'s "Witness for the Prosecution."

Although it has been more than fifty years since this movie was shot, and it is still a black and white movie with no gorgeous makeup or dazzling special effects, it is still a classic that cannot be ignored in the comedy and suspense genre.

In terms of film categories, Old Billy is a director who is good at shooting comedy films. Before this film, he was already very experienced in the field of comedy films.

So, for him, it is not difficult to intersperse light-hearted comedy sequences in the movie. He is quite good at it.

Then, the only difficulty may be how to fully connect the suspense elements with the comedy style.

Judging from the many praises the finished product has received, the effect is naturally good.

The credit for achieving such success is certainly not limited to Old Billy, the film Witness for the Prosecution, which is adapted from the short story of the master of suspense Agatha Christie.

Although it is only a short story, the quality of Agatha's work is still guaranteed, which ensures that the plot of the movie at least does not feel lacking.

This is actually a very important point. After all, while being full of comedy elements, Witness for the Prosecution is a classic suspense film.
