Chapter 664: The Strangest Movie in History!(Second Update!)
The time entered September, Tang An finished some things, and began to devote himself to the creation of the script.
That military film is naturally "Operation Red Sea".
As one of the best modern military films in China, "Operation Red Sea" is no worse than "Wolf Warrior 2" in terms of quality.
It's just two different genres, and when it was released later, there was also a lot of controversy between fans of both sides.
One is individual heroism, the other is more team-oriented, and they are all doing well in their respective directions, with different emphases.
Fans of "Operation Red Sea" sprayed "Wolf Warrior 2" as illogical and too fake, in fact, both movies have illogical and fake places.
Any film, especially a commercial one, can find a whole bunch of holes in it.
is a movie that is meant to attract the audience's attention, and it is impossible to be truly real.
Exaggeration is a form of expression.
The audience doesn't care whether it's real or not, sometimes you have to write on the truth, not only is it less enjoyable, but the vast majority of viewers who don't know it will think it's not real.
Writing a book, the protagonist graduated from high school and couldn't get into college, starting from a second-rate son, and he cheated all the way to become a ministerial-level senior official.
Is it real?
Most people must find it unreal.
But that's what happened, real people!
The reality is that you never know what strange things are happening.
It is impossible to pursue truth in artificially created movies, as long as it is not a big flaw and can justify telling the story well, then the plot of the movie is qualified.
"Operation Red Sea" also has a lot of loopholes, in fact, the more popular movies there are, the more loopholes, because there are too many people who have seen them.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is even more unreal in order to render personal heroism, but this film can't be real, otherwise it may not be so cool.
In comparison, Operation Red Sea is real enough, enough.
After finally rescuing the hostages, the captain still has to grab the yellowcake (nuclear raw material), which is very unreal in terms of the discipline of our army.
But that private action is just a very correct and even successful plot design for a commercial movie.
As a commercial film, it is necessary to take care of the emotions of the audience.
After a team of 8 people sacrificed two cripples and 2 cripples, as the captain, under the sign of "We can't ignore the yellow cake", he led the team to avenge his teammates - this is very logical.
Aren't you angry when your teammates sacrifice?
Don't want revenge?
But the mission has been completed, how to take revenge?
That's a violation of discipline!
However, play a sideline ball and use "anti-nuclear" as an excuse to take revenge,
This is very logical and normal thinking.
Discipline is dead, but the captain is a living man, a living man of flesh and blood.
In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong also destroyed Heiyun Village for the monk, and Shunyo finally shot in "Shunyu".
On the contrary, if the plot ends at the end of the mission and the sacrifice of two people, as a normal audience, can you accept it?
Why can terrorists be so arrogant and still get away with it?
What about the good "those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away"?
It's so unpleasant to leave two sacrificed martyrs back to China like this!
If the audience is unhappy, it is the director's fault!
So revenge must be taken!
The villain must die!
In the most classic undercover movie in China "Dragon and Tiger", Zhou Runfa died, but the villain Zhang Yaoyang was still alive, and most of the audience finally died of grievances.
In "The True Color of Heroes", Zhou Yunfa also died, but the audience will not feel aggrieved, because the villain Li Zhixiong is also hanging, and he will only feel tragic and sad.
And the role of the journalist, who was also criticized.
In terms of rhythm, it is also completely different from "Wolf Warrior 2", to put it simply, the whole process is played.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is a standard commercial movie rhythm, the threats encountered by the protagonist are one after another, dizzying, especially at the end, Leng Feng knelt to send the heroine on the plane, but the plane was bombed in a blink of an eye, this plot is well designed.
Songs and movies all pay attention to the tone and frustration, some high and some low, some fast and some slow, some collect and some release, some foreshadowing and climax.
Even the primitive behavior of human beings is rhythmic, and they cannot be forced to do it.
But "Operation Red Sea" is not like this, and there is a 10-20 minute battle scene at every turn, and the whole process is a climax, which will also cause visual fatigue.
However, there are also some emotional expressions in the gaps, which can be regarded as allowing the audience to take a breath.
And another, too bloody.
The first version of the script doesn't need to be very detailed, and there are also reviews from departments such as optoelectronics, military wei, and foreign education departments, so write a book and hand it over first, and it will be changed later anyway.
Besides, it's one thing to have a book, and it's another thing to shoot it, and you have to walk under the big scissors.
The script of nearly 100,000 words took Tang An more than half a month, although it is not the final version, but so many departments have to review it, and it can't be dealt with casually.
In the end, I read it twice.,There's nothing wrong with it.,Copy it to a USB flash drive.。
Exited the office and threw it to one of the secretaries in the secretary's room.
"I reviewed the script, printed it out and sent it to the production department for review. ”
If you correct a typo, a language problem, or something, you don't have to do it yourself.
Zhou Li walked over and asked, "Chairman, are you going out?"
"No, please come to the office in half an hour, and I'll take a walk. ”
Tang An waved his hand, and he wrote something for more than half a month, which was really uncomfortable.
Walking around the company, rummaging through the screenwriter library in the production department, and looking in the editing room.
All the way to the screening room, the distribution department inside was watching the film, it seemed to be a costume film, and Tang An pushed the door in.
However, after not watching it for two minutes, Tang An felt that something was wrong.
Isn't this the movie that cheats money?
"Stop, stop, stop. ”
Tang An immediately interrupted their viewing.
A manager of the distribution department of Hantang Media, who was sitting in the front row, immediately turned around and glared angrily.
Dare to shout in the screening room, that department's stupidity.
However, as soon as he turned his head and opened his mouth, a national scolding was brewing, but he couldn't say anything.
Tang An stood quietly in the back row, so frightened that his 180-pound body instantly bounced up from the chair, and he was more flexible than ever when turning.
The huge body stood opposite Tang An with his head bowed, a little confused.
"Dong... Chairman, why are you here?"
"Manager Zhang, what kind of film are you watching?" Tang An said, glancing at the filmmaker in the front row.
"Oh, chairman, you said this, "Big Talk Fairy", starring Miss Sun Li, Ekin Cheng and Cai Shaofen. ”
Zhang Fatzi hurriedly replied, thought about it and said, "Costume blockbuster, invest 100 million, want us to release it, the conditions are very good." ”
At this time, the filmmaker also walked over and stretched out his right hand respectfully.
"Hello Tang Dong, I am Zhao Qing, general manager of integrity culture. ”
However, Tang An didn't even look at him, and looked at Manager Zhang coldly.
"Manager Zhang, I remember that you are not short-sighted. ”
"Ahh Not... Not nearsighted. ”
The fat man hurriedly shook his head.
"I'm not nearsighted, most of the movies are played, I think you are blind, and you dare to take this kind of film, it ruins the reputation of the group, and you don't have enough flesh to watch it......"
Tang An pointed at the fat man's nose and scolded, but he didn't expect to come over occasionally to see such a bad thing.
The filmmaker next to him had a little bad looks on his face, but he still laughed and said, "Tang Dong, what you said, is there anything wrong with our film, Sun Li is also your actor." ”
Tang An glanced at him, "Which company are you from?"
The merchant was almost choked, and he had just reported that his home was ignored.
But I still honestly said, "I am Zhao Qing, general manager of integrity culture." ”
Fat added, "A subsidiary of Scholar Co., Ltd., which specializes in investing in films in the mainland. ”
"Scholar shares?"
Tang An thought about it, this is the scholar movie of the treasure island in the 80s.
It monopolized nearly half of the theaters on Treasure Island, and at most times, film production accounted for more than half of Treasure Island.
One of the eight major film merchants on Baodao, in the 80s and 90s, except for the three companies in Xinyicheng, Jiahe and Debao, 80% of the others had scholar funds stationed there.
The top film company in Xiangjiang Treasure Island back then is now doing this.
Tang An shook his head, "Go and tell Cai Songlin, if you want to make a movie, do it well, don't make such a mess." ”
This "Big Talk Fairy" is said to be a bad movie, and it is not worthy of being called a movie at all.
Three years ago, several investors filmed a "Fairy Romance", and there was no money halfway through the filming, and the project was considered yellow.
But three years later, Sun Li and Cai Shaofen are now popular, and the original supporting role Lin Gengxin is also popular.
But the contract period has expired, and neither the director nor the actors want to continue filming.
This company is also absolutely amazing, found an art director of the crew at that time to be the director, temporarily set up a broken crew, and finished filming the film in less than a week.
How did a 90-minute movie, with half of it left, be made without a director and without actors?
This is difficult for people, all the actors are stand-ins, and the stand-ins complete the remaining half of the scenes, and the production is completed in a hurry in a few days.
Not only is the back and long shot with a stand-in, but the front face is also a stand-in, half of the movie was filmed with a few other actors, and when you watch the movie, you will feel that you have suddenly changed your person.
And the stand-in is still fake to death, Sun Li's stand-in has a big waist and a round waist, and her back doesn't look like it.
This film was later released, but there was no meeting, offline promotion, or premiere, because the leading actor and director didn't go, but there were still posters.
The promotional poster still advertises in the name of Sun Li, and the director and main creator are still the same group of people as three years ago, but none of the stars mentioned this movie.
No matter which company he picks up, Tang An will definitely not pick it up, even if it is just a release, maybe he will be scolded miserably.
It's better than a bad movie, and there is no lower limit to what cutouts, and it can be said to be the most bizarre movie in history.
"Next time there is such a film that ruins the reputation of the group, you can get out of here, and deduct a quarterly bonus this time. ”
Tang An didn't pay much attention to them, dropped a sentence and left.
The filmmaker watched Tang An just leave, and then looked at the fat man, "This... Mr. Zhang......"
"Fuck off, didn't you say it was secret, Tang Dong saw it at a glance, and hurry up with your copy. ”
The fire in the fat man's heart could only be directed at the filmmaker, and he dropped a sentence, and hurriedly chased Tang An with a body of meat, which is related to his own job.
......
It's really bad, Tang An came out with a black face, and all departments took a look, making all the employees who were targeted by him a little uncomfortable, and their work was a little unnatural.
