Chapter 399: Choosing an actor

Ma Cheng was not angry when he was reprimanded by Guo Dalu, he took out a few drawings that Guo Dalu had drawn before and asked, "Guo Ye, what are you asking me to help you do to make these iron skeletons?" This looks like a robot skeleton. ”

Guo Dalu threw the script of "The Terminator" to Ma Cheng, "Damn, I'm too lazy to explain, you read the script first and we'll talk!"

This time to shoot the Terminator movie, it is indispensable to make some props in advance, among which it is necessary to make a pair of alloy skeletons in the proportion of Guo Dalu's own body, and this skeleton must be made very realistically, and the general special production company may not be able to produce it, so Guo Dalu simply marked out all the parts of the entire skeleton, and directly asked people to build the spare parts according to the marked size, and then assemble and debug them.

His sketching skills are profound, and he paints things vividly, especially the formed robot skeleton, although it is only on drawing paper, but it gives people a sense of coldness and ruthlessness.

When Ma Cheng first saw these sketches, he had the idea of collecting, and at this time he had copied a few copies of Guo Dalu's sketches, but the original sketches were hidden by him.

"This story ......"

After reading the script of "Terminator", Ma Cheng's face flushed with excitement and said: "The robot travels through time to stop something that is about to happen, hehe, this setting is interesting!"

He smiled and said, "The robot sent the Terminator to finish off the mother of the leader of the human resistance, and when the leader of the resistance knew about it, he sent his subordinates to save his mother, and the subordinates sent out were his biological father." ”

Ma Cheng was surprised, "The leader of this rebel army, his heart is black enough, he knows that his father will die because he saves himself, but for the sake of his birth, he is ruthless to send his father to death, hehe, this hidden character also has a lot of room to explore!"

Guo Dalu smiled: "You still have a bit of brains, I'm going to shoot a series, this is just the first part, let's see the market reaction first, if you can, we are preparing for the second part." ”

When Ma Cheng heard that he was going to make a series, he suddenly thought of something, "Guo Ye, when you say make a series, I think of "First Blood", this movie can also be made into a series, and now there are still many viewers who want to see the follow-up of this movie." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "You don't have a small heart, let's talk about it after the first drop of blood, now let's get the terminator first!"

The original version of the terminator is a Western feature film, and in the hands of Guo Dalu, it must be modified, and some Western things will be sinicized, such as the names of the heroes and heroines, and all the characters related to the story must be sinicized, so after modification, the plot became like this:

"After a nuclear war in the 21st century, the Earth is ruled by robots, and the surviving humans have come together to resist the brutal rule of robots. In order to rid the leader of the human struggle against machine domination, the robot ruler sends a killer - this killer is a half-machine, half-flesh creature who is physically indistinguishable from a human - to go back forty years to assassinate the mother of the leader of the human resistance, a woman named Song Junxiu. And the human leader of the future world also sent a man named Mark to protect Song Na.

Mark returned to Baolan City in 2017 with the robot killer, when there were thirteen women named Song Junxiu in Baolan City, eleven of whom were killed overnight, and the twelfth resisted for a while before dying, which also attracted the attention of the police department, which also became a shocking case that shook the whole country.

One night, Song Jun-so meets the killer on his way home, and thanks to Mark's timely arrival, the two drive the car onto the highway, and the killer chases after him. Mark told Song Jun-so everything.

In the midst of the tribulation, Mark and Song Jun-so fell in love.

The killer chased after him again, and the killer's car crashed during the chase, igniting a fire, burning the robot killer into a mechanical skeleton, and in order to save Song Junxiu, Mark died with the killer who only had the skeleton left.

Soon, Song Jun-so discovers that she is pregnant with Kyle's child, the future leader of the human resistance. ”

This script was changed by Guo Dalu in this way, and it suddenly became a science fiction work with a strong Chinese atmosphere, after the modification, Guo Dalu deliberately sketched the whole work in his mind, and always felt that it was a notch worse than the original "Terminator", this difference is not a deviation in the plot, but a little wrong in the viewing experience.

It is estimated that it is the edification of watching foreign blockbusters for a long time, and it is difficult for Chinese people who want to be there to associate the words "black technology products" with the Chinese, and the same science fiction props, in the hands of foreigners, seem very natural, giving people a very harmonious feeling, and letting Chinese actors hold it in their hands, it will give people a sense of nondescriptry.

It's like if you see a black man from a primitive tribe in Africa, with a crotch cloth around him, carrying a small bow and arrow, and chasing his prey barefoot, you will think it's normal, but once this sleek black man is running wildly on the grassland with a submachine gun in hand, then this picture will instantly blind your kryptonite dog's eyes.

In the final analysis, this is still a problem of cultural propaganda, which can by no means be solved in a short period of time, but the depth of the invasion of Western culture into Chinese culture can be seen from this.

When considering this, Guo Dalu can almost pack tickets, the box office of this movie will definitely not catch up with his previous two movies, and it is estimated that it will be the same as "First Blood" at most, and there is basically no hope for "Shaolin Temple" and "Roman Holiday" to catch up.

But even if the box office may not be very prosperous, this movie Guo Dalu will definitely be filmed, this is not only a problem of the box office, the most important thing is the output of culture, so that more people can see this movie, let more people understand themselves, take the opportunity to bring out some customs and culture of China from the film, and subtly change the foreigner's view of China, which is the main purpose of Guo Dalu.

Since Western culture continues to invade Chinese culture, Guo Dalu will naturally not be polite to Western culture, just like "Shaolin Temple" some time ago, it is a successful cultural export to Western countries, so that they know the existence of Chinese martial arts, and thus triggered a global kung fu fever, many foreigners may not know the capital of China, but they know that there is a Shaolin Temple in China.

Ma Cheng returned the script to Guo Dalu, "Guo Ye, I already know what's going on, I will let people work overtime to get this alloy skeleton you want, you are also very familiar with the staff of our company, these people are as you choose, this time our company will give full support to the shooting of your film!"

Guo Dalu smiled: "Okay, let's start the first step, first of all, choose actors!"

He said to Ma Cheng: "The robot in this film is played by me, and the actor must be a strong actor, and even the actress must be a bit spicy, with a kind of momentum that does not allow women to shave their eyebrows." ”

Ma Chengdao: "Guo Ye, I don't dare to get involved in the selection of actors, you better make up your own mind! If you can use our company's own actors, it is better, if you can't use it, as long as you open your mouth, I will come forward to invite you!"

Guo Dalu pondered for a while and said, "I already have a candidate for the female protagonist, and the male protagonist will wait for me to think about it for a few days!"

After he said this, he continued to design the shooting plan, but the news that "Guo Dalu's new film still lacks a male lead" was spread to the outside world, which immediately caused a shock in the entertainment industry.

After hearing the news, many actors were extremely moved.

Who is Guo Dalu?

That's an international director! The holder of the world box office record!

It is also a super point in the entertainment industry!

But none of the films handled by Guo Dalu were not box office hits, and the actors in them have become well-known figures in the circle one after another.

"Shaolin Temple" is one of the examples, many actors in the film became famous because of this play, especially Song Qingyun, and because of this play, he became an international superstar.

Now that his science fiction film, which is known as a big investment, is missing a leading actor, everyone is excited, and even some agents of small fresh meat have become eager.
