Suddenly, Tong Xi rembered what Yunqing said after watching the movie.
He said, the biggest impression after watching was that the beast told people a secret to winning over a woman: never say "I love you"!
Cough, cough, Yunqing wouldn’t say that, would he!
Oh dear, if he really said that in front of mom, it would be... quite embarrassing, she’d definitely look down on it!
Tong Xi’s heart was instantly on edge.
At this mont, Yunqing spoke calmly.
"Actually, classic remakes allow us to cherish the original. A classic becos a classic because it embodies a nation’s understanding of its history, as well as a collective mory.
Remaking classics has always been an enduring artistic path. Hollywood has countless remakes of its own classics. Facing a classic remake can truly test both the screenwriter and director, as well as the audience. It’s a test of the combination and interplay between classic art and modern art; it’s also a reflection on collective mory and emotion."
When Yunqing said this, a trace of comfort appeared on Xu Bing’s face, while Tong Xi was even more shocked.
Wow, this guy always appeared so roguish and mischievous in front of her, acting cheeky while watching movies. But now, when speaking to her mom, he instantly elevates the conversation to topics such as literature and art, literary classics, and other such highbrow thes, it’s really... quite eye-opening!
But speaking of which, when Yunqing gets serious, it’s truly... hard to look away!
Over there, Xu Bing asked again, "So what do you think is the right attitude towards classic remakes?"
Yunqing responded with a faint smile, "Remaking classics is a good thing and worthy of effort. However, our understanding of classic remakes needs to be improved. Nowadays, many classics are being disrupted and deconstructed, which isn’t the only solution.
To remake a classic, the most important thing is attitude; it must be done with a mindset of respect. Throughout the long history, it took years of screening to leave behind those classics, it’s not easy. Remaking a classic shouldn’t be like randomly mismatching clothes, adorning it flamboyantly like a bridal gown, nor should it rely aim for novelty. What’s most important is that people can once again find emotional resonance in the film, that’s enough!"
Xu Bing nodded in agreent.
"Indeed, so classics cannot be surpassed."
"Auntie, you’re absolutely right, so classics truly are insurmountable. For example, Hollywood’s old movies like the one starring Vivien Leigh and Gable, ’Gone with the Wind’. It’s been over seventy, nearly eighty years now, and no one dares to remake it. Actually, this is also a matter of attitude, because of the respect for the heights it once reached. Without sufficient preparation, accumulation, and insight, no one dares to touch it lightly..."
Yunqing discussed enthusiastically with Xu Bing, and his deanor was so elegant, full of intellect, serious yet earnest. Seeing this side of Yunqing... left Tong Xi stunned.
Actually, she knew that when Yunqing gets serious, it’s truly attractive, but now, at her own ho, in front of her parents, Yunqing displaying this deanor is truly...
Absolutely charming!
Tong Xi felt her heart racing even more.
Turns out, Yunqing this guy, is really hiding considerable depths!
Tong Xi just stared at Yunqing, her eyes filled with admiration and deep affection.
At that instant, Tong Xi watched Yunqing without blinking, totally transford into a little fangirl!
