Chapter 241: MR Wu, I Want to Kill You
The main characters are alive, the other side characters are dead, and the dead will be remembered by the audience!
This is a relatively common narrative technique, and it is often used in novels and movies. For example, "Saving Private Ryan" is such a movie, but his main character, Ryan's role is quite small.
The technique is similar, but the effect of the shoot is definitely completely different.
The script has been decided, but Feng Xiaogang still has some complaints, very simple, that is, this script of you Wu Xiang is not enough to dig into human nature, that is, the soldiers are not afraid of death.
Faced with this question, Wu Xiang made his own answer.
Everyone is afraid of death, but when death becomes a sacrifice, for the country, for the people, for the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms, then this death is not terrible, this sacrifice is a kind of glory!
Director Feng Xiaogang said, I have seen too much of what you said, but it is no longer popular, it is the technique of previous movies, the old thing, the current movie, the current young people, what they want is the excavation of human nature and a deeper discussion!
Wu Xiang said he understood, but he was still not ready to change.
Feng Xiaogang had no choice but to drop a sentence, your movie will make people scold, the box office must not work!
In fact, what Feng Xiaogang doesn't understand the most is that he didn't live in that era when Wu Xiang was a child, so why was this guy even more fanatical than Feng Xiaogang about the things of that era?
Wu Xiang didn't make any more excuses, he just insisted on his ideas. Stick to your own scripted story.
There are some things that cannot be said, because in the not-too-distant future, there will be those who have a purpose. to question this war, to question the correctness of this war, whether it is won, whether there is something unspeakable.
On the one hand, this is not at all in line with the historical facts of the time, and how much culture were there among the volunteer soldiers at that time? It is not bad if you are not illiterate, and you can pretend to be an intellectual after graduating from primary school. Will these soldiers discuss human nature on the battlefield and reflect on war?
Isn't that pure?
On the other hand, people are afraid of death, but to a certain extent. Then you can not be afraid of death, death is not terrible at all in some cases, you are forced to be in a hurry, and the rabbit is still kicking the eagle!
Besides. Zifei knows the joy of fish. How do you know that people must be afraid of death?
As far as those who pretend to be experts on the Internet in later generations and come up with all kinds of human rights and freedoms to comment on this war, they did not take into account that this war is a group of people who have just gotten rid of ignorance and oppression, and they are all people who can't eat and live, and finally have the hope of living a good life, but they have to face a foreign invasion that is about to happen. This is their roar that shook all mankind!
You use your current brain to discuss the humanity of that time. Isn't this an idle egg hurt?!
Therefore, although we are a movie, although there is artistic processing, we must truly present those people and events back then......
The script is set, the actors are also set, the props, costumes, all aspects are basically the same, and there are the extras who participated in the performance, needless to say, it must be looking for troops, and this war movie, although it is a blockbuster with a big scene, it really doesn't use too many people.
The reason is very simple, Wu Xiang's movie itself is to prepare to focus on a company, and the most combat unit is to the regiment, and the regiment commander is the Fan Tianen played by Sun Honglei. The number of people is not much, if there is a lot, it is the US military.
But there is an advantage here, that is, North Korea is mountainous, so the road is not too straight, most of it is winding and winding, although it is not filmed in North Korea, but the terrain has to find the same, so that there is no need for too many US troops, because of the perspective, it can be blocked.
Therefore, Wu Xiang's plan is to have two regiments, one regiment to play the Volunteer Army, and one regiment to play the US Army and the Korean Puppet Army.
It's just that there is a small problem here, that is, how can the US military say that they are also foreigners, and they all use our soldiers to act, is there something wrong with this?
You have to find some crooked nuts, this is a must, but how do you find them?
If you want to say that the Japanese are better, there are a lot of them in Wu Xiang's alma mater, and "Bright Sword" was filmed like this before, and after they finished filming, they basically didn't go back to the island country.
But the blonde ones are really hard to find, there are some international students in the film school, but there are fewer dramas, or more Asian, and the blonde ones are just three or two kittens, which is really not enough to watch.
What should I do? Go directly to the place where I teach foreign languages and pull people? Will they be able to act?
Wu Xiang is a good knower, the crooked nuts who teach foreign languages in our country, there are really all kinds of things, and there are even fugitives or something, anyway, teaching foreign languages, there is no need for advanced knowledge, foreign teachers are actually in many schools, that is the vase when recruiting students...... It's over, it's over, in fact, Wu Xiang mainly has no relationship with this, and he really doesn't know the details of those foreigners.
Just when Wu Xiang had a headache, Li Yuncong, who was far away in Europe, sent a message, there is a company, there is a big director, and he wants to meet Wu Xiang, and he is very urgent.
Who's the big director?
Sam Mendes, the director of "American Beauty", won the Oscar for Best Director for his first film directed in Hollywood, isn't this a big director?
And this company, in fact, is Sam Mendes' own company, called Neil Street Film Company.
As soon as Wu Xiang heard the name of the family, he immediately felt the fame of the family. However, this person Wu Xiang is still very talented, not an American, but a British, but the current United States and Britain are inseparable, like a pair of good friends.
Friends are friends, but whoever takes credit receives it. That's clear at a glance. Besides, in the past, the United States was the son, and the United Kingdom was the father. When you think about it, it's really ...... English cows, it's all tears.
Don't think about these things first, Wu Xiang was already worried about foreign actors, and now he sends a foreigner to the door, can he still turn him away?
See Sam Mendes is in Bada Ridge, because this big director's itinerary is like a tour. Also, it was the first time he came to the land of China and didn't look at the scenic spots. Isn't that too sorry for yourself?
Under the recommendation of Li Yuncong, Wu Xiang wore a down jacket and went to see the great director, and when he saw this Anglo-Saxon for the first time, he felt that this guy was a little handsome. It's really good. This director has also acted before, which is stronger than Wu Xiang.
"Hello Sam, I'm Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang said hello without humility or arrogance.
"Oh, hello, MR Wu, I'm so glad to meet you. Sam Mendes was very enthusiastic, and he took the initiative to come over and give Wu Xiang a big hug, which caught Wu Xiang off guard.
"Are all foreigners so open?" Wu Xiang was really a little uncomfortable. But the more uncomfortable ones are still to come.
"I-MISS-YOU-SO-MUCH!"
"I, I don't know you, right? It's the first time we've met, right?" Wu Xiang's cold sweat was about to come down. Why do you think so much about yourself?
"No, it's true that we've met for the first time, but I think we've been in a relationship in thought, like your words, that's called, God's ...... Still!"
This half-written Mandarin, but don't say it, Wu Xiang really understands.
"You, this, me, that ......" Wu Xiang didn't understand, because why has God been friends for a long time?
Looking at Wu Xiang's performance, Sam Mendes is now unclear, but he feels powerful, so he told him how he made friends with Wu Xiangshen.
It turned out that it was because when Wu Xiang went back to the Oscars as a guest last time, he said a few words in a subsequent interview, you American imperialists, this is a war of aggression!
Just a few words, as soon as Sam Mendes heard it, he introduced Wu Xiang as his lifelong confidant.
"Wu, you are really amazing, you dare to say such a comment in that kind of place, it is so exciting, you are so powerful, and even more amazing, you are not in trouble! Ha Lu haha......
Wu Xiang was speechless for a while, Lao Tzu didn't have anything to do, why do you want to add the word "unexpectedly"?
In fact, Wu Xiang also understands that Mendes should be referring to the ubiquitous CIA or FBI, to be honest, if you think about it, the trend is a little scary, after Brother Prism broke out in the later life, he ran away, but his good friend didn't run away, and he was killed by someone who made a traffic accident......
Wu Xiang didn't speak, just a little cold sweat, that Mendes didn't care so much, he gushed endlessly.
"Wu, you are the strongest anti-war director I have ever seen, you dare to say things that others dare not say, you are the best, and I want to make an anti-war movie now, I need your help!"
Anti-war films?
As soon as he heard this, okay, Wu Xiang became interested, "Don't worry, let's talk while walking, this is the Great Wall, you can't help but take a look, right?"
"Good!"
Then Sam Mendes said his intention, it turned out that Sam Mendes was going to make a movie, he wanted to use this movie to reflect on the ongoing Iraq war, which is also for what, he expressed his sincere admiration for Wu Xiang's remarks, really, at this time, the entire public opinion in the United States, the justice of this war, is secretive, everyone's reports are relatively obscure, really like the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes".
And Wu Xiang's words really hit the nail on the head, which made the US imperialists somewhat embarrassed.
The name of the movie Mendes wants to make is called, "Pot Head"!
This was originally a film reflecting on the Gulf War, and Mendes wanted to make some adaptations, but the investors were not satisfied, so Sam came to Wu Xiang...... (To be continued......)
