The deep significance of "The Godfather" lies in the fact that it has opened up a broad prospect for crime films and gangster films in the history of world cinema, not only expanding the expression of crime films, but more importantly, its film meaning and ideological connotation are far beyond the scope of violence.

The first generation of godfathers was played by Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone, and Marlon Brando, as a methodist, successfully played the godfather and won the 45th Oscar

The second generation of Godfathers is played by Al Pacino as Mike Corleone, and the success of the "Godfather" series has also made Al Pacino famous, and he was still an unknown actor before

The third generation of godfathers passed on to Vincent Corleone, the son of Mike's eldest brother Sonny, played by Andy Garcia.

In "The Godfather II", Robert De Niro played the young first generation of Godfather, and also opened up Robert De Niro's film path

Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro are the backbone of the film industry, and each of them won the Oscar. Their success is inseparable from the influence of "The Godfather".

Marlon Brando, of course, can be said to be the exception. Before "The Godfather" became famous, Marlon Brando was the biggest name among the big names.

The godfather of a generation, Marlon Brando

The story of the "Godfather" trilogy film is not complicated

In the first part, it is told that in the chaotic era of the 40s, Father Vito has long been famous as one of the leaders of the American mafia. There is no one in politics, business, or gangsters who does not give up face. Vito Corleone has four sons, the eldest son, Sonny, is irritable, the second son, Fredo is timid and incompetent, the younger son Mike is shrewd and capable, and the adopted son Tom is the family's military advisor. Later Sonny's death, the decline of Vito's godfathers. Mike had to take over the family business and carry out a series of actions to solve the problems in the gang.

The ending is a textbook montage, with the baptism of a newborn nephew in a church on the one hand, and the assassination baptism of various gang leaders on the other, and the two sides of the narrative are crossed. Everything is Mike's control

The godfather of the new generation, Don Corleone, cemented the family's position in the mafia

The second part of The Godfather follows the first, which is a two-line narrative on the one hand, Mike remembers the history of his father's self-made struggle when he was young, and on the other hand, Mike faces the punishment of the law, the sinister gangsters and the story of the departure of his wife.

The third "Godfather" spans 16 years, and Mike is already in his twilight years at this time, and wants to redeem his soul and legitimize the family business, but there are many difficulties. In an assassination attempt, Mike loses his beloved daughter. Vinson becomes the third godfather story, and when Mike dies alone in his chair at the end, the great Godfather trilogy also comes to an end

In his previous life, but when Peng Yichen was still in junior high school, he heard about the "legendary story" of "The Godfather" on various lists early on.

This is very attractive to a hot-blooded young man like Peng Yichen.

Peng Yichen wanted to find a chance to enjoy this movie at that time, but it is difficult to find a disc of this kind of movie in his hometown.

Peng Yichen remembered that when he was a freshman in high school, he saw this movie for the first time in the provincial capital.

After watching it, Peng Yichen was stunned at the time, and he found that although he didn't seem to understand this movie, he was completely attracted by the temperament of this movie.

Subsequently, he tried his best to understand the background of the "Godfather" movie.

He was madly obsessed with the feeling of "The Godfather", Marlon Brando, a methodist actor, leading the fledgling Al Pacino and Robert De Niro to play together.

The three of them also created their own dynasty in Hollywood movies.

It was also at that time that Peng Yichen became obsessed with these three hardcore actors.

But when Peng Yichen watched "The Godfather" for the second time, it was probably four or five months later.

After reading it this time, I can say that I can probably see the story of "The Godfather".

Watching "The Godfather" for the third time, Peng Yichen was completely immersed in this movie, the fate of each of the main characters.

He still clearly remembers the grief of the twilight of the hero when he watched the first "The Godfather", and he also remembers the scene when he watched the second "The Godfather", when he was trembling for Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on the same stage, and he even remembered that he learned a lot of truths about life and men in the third part of "The Godfather".

This movie has taught Peng Yichen too many things.

For the sake of this former throbbing, Peng Yichen also made up his mind to shoot his own "Godfather" trilogy.

Of course, in his "Godfather" trilogy, he, a Chinese man, is the starring role, so it is naturally impossible to use the Italian mafia as the background of the whole story.

He will only follow the basic story framework of "The Godfather", but Peng Yichen has already thought about the specific characters and backgrounds.

He wants to use the story of Du Yuesheng, another former gangster legend in China, as the background of the whole movie.

In other words, Peng Yichen wants to use the basic story line of "The Godfather" as the main line, and use Du Yuesheng's story as the background to fill in the entire main story line.

He has an even crazier idea, that is, he wants to finish the "Godfather" trilogy in one go.

In other words, he wants to shoot the "Godfather" trilogy as a movie.

It's just that in the end, he will still divide it into three movies and release them one after the other throughout the year.

The thought of this made him tremble and he felt extremely excited.

Peng Yichen has a feeling that when "The Godfather" is filmed and released, his film life in this world will be completely complete.

This may be the best curtain call for his film life!

After that, Peng Yichen may find a new meaning of life for himself and Yu Jing!

Do what you think!

Two months after Yu Jing and Peng Yichen's child was born, Peng Yichen began to write his own script for the "Godfather" trilogy.

In this movie, Peng Yichen portrays Du Yuesheng as a gangster family boss in a certain city of Star Flag Country.

The same narrative structure as "The Godfather" in the previous life, the whole film starts with Du Yuesheng's daughter's wedding, and then introduces Du Yuesheng's status and influence among the Chinese in the whole city.

Show the unique charm of Du Yuesheng.

In this place, Peng Yichen referred to Marlon Brando's portrayal of the godfather, and at the same time added some of Du Yuesheng's personality and characteristics to create a more charismatic image of a gangster.

Subsequently, it was Du Yuesheng who began to recall his own history.

Here, Peng Yichen wrote the story of how Du Yuesheng relied on Huang Jinrong's wife to make his fortune.

This makes Du Yuesheng's image more three-dimensional and vivid.

What's even better is that both Italians and Chinese have a strong sense of family, both have a strong historical accumulation, and both were once extremely glorious, but in the end they were lonely.

Therefore, when Peng Yichen created this story, he easily found the commonalities between Du Yuesheng and the first generation of godfathers.

Of course, after Peng Yichen's adaptation, in the original "Godfather", after the old godfather was killed, the plot of his son becoming the new godfather was adapted by him.

It turned out that the old godfather was betrayed, his son was killed, and he himself was hunted down and killed, and he hid in a remote place in the countryside.

In the end, he "returned as the king" and successfully exterminated the enemy, but his family died forever.

In this way, after more than half a year of meticulous revision and polishing by Peng Yichen, it was not until November 2018 that the script of Peng Yichen's version of the "Godfather" trilogy was finally finalized.

After another 3 months of preliminary preparation and casting.

This time, Peng Yichen completely let go of his hands and feet, and he summoned many actors in Huaxia and Xingqi Country, such as Huaxia: Chen Daoming, Zhao Jianguo, Li Xuejian, Liang Chaowei, Andy Lau and others, and Xingqi Country: Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Alpa Sino, Dustin Hoffman, Nicolas Cage and others.

And he himself, in the movie, plays two roles, playing two generations of godfathers before and after.

Finally, the "Godfather" trilogy is scheduled to start filming on March 1, 2019.

Of course, before this, Peng Yichen had to enter the world of "The Godfather" as usual.

And this time, he will truly experience the legendary life of a generation of "godfathers"!
