Chapter 201: A Real Blockbuster
In Guo Dalu's "First Blood", the colonel officer who plays the role is Wang Yaowen, a veteran actor among military actors, who was born in the army and has played many military leaders, and is born with a solemn and majestic temperament of the army. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In order to invite him to come out to perform, Guo Dalu also specially greeted General Bai, and then "borrowed" the old man for three days.
Although this colonel officer does not have many scenes, it is extremely important, without this role, it is impossible to connect the whole story, although there are few appearances, but it is required to create this image to be full in these few scenes, and the average actor who has no acting skills at home really can't control it.
At that time, before Guo Dalu invited Wang Yaowen to participate, he had already asked someone to give the script to the old man, and it was not until the filming started in March later that he was accepted to the crew to perform.
In three months, Wang Yaowen had already eaten his role thoroughly, so he performed very well, he didn't stay in the crew for three days at all, he finished his role in one day, and left directly the next day, and received a salary of 5,000 yuan, and people didn't want it at all.
In Guo Dalu's opinion, 50,000 yuan is less than the old man's acting skills, but unfortunately the old man doesn't want much at all.
Now as soon as he appeared in the plot of the movie, a few lines captured the hearts of the audience, especially when he said the words "bring enough body bags" to the director, not only did he become full of the tough image of such an old soldier, but also made the protagonist Lan Bo more and more awe-inspiring.
In the eyes of this colonel, even more than 200 soldiers are not Lan Bo's opponents, how powerful is Lan Bo, the leader of this special operations saber group?
Just a few lines from the colonel, Lan Bo's image became more and more tall and mysterious, and it also aroused the huge curiosity and expectation of the audience, who wanted to see how Lan Bo would confront the soldiers who surrounded him next.
is different from the movie in his memory, when Guo Dalu was filming this movie, he did not shoot exactly according to the plot in his memory.
In the original movie, the protagonist Rambo was forced to jump into an abandoned mine to escape by a rocket when he was faced with enemies on all sides, and after a struggle, he escaped through another exit of the mine.
But when Huang Botao chose the filming location, the environment was indeed the right choice, there was indeed a mine cave on the hillside near the town they filmed, Guo Dalu originally wanted to shoot the plot of the protagonist Lan Bo's escape in the mine, but whenever he wanted to go into the cave to shoot, there would be a dangerous emotion in his heart, and after several times, Guo Dalu knew that the mine was inappropriate, and he didn't dare to shoot from the mine, but revised the script and changed it to the plot of the protagonist constantly fighting with more than 200 soldiers in the snowy jungle.
At that time, Huang Botao was still wondering why Guo Dalu didn't shoot in the mine cave he found, but wanted to temporarily modify the script to change the storyline, and when Guo Dalu was asked, Guo Dalu just shook his head and said nothing.
But a few days later, the abandoned mine suddenly collapsed, and even the surface of the mountain above the mine cracked a large crack.
After knowing this situation, Huang Botao was afraid for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, if they really entered this mine to shoot, it is estimated that the entire crew would not be buried alive in the mountain.
Now that this script has been revised by Guo Dalu, the original mine escape has been changed to the plot of the protagonist Lan Bo fighting with 200 soldiers alone and successfully escaping from the encirclement.
In this scene, Lan Bo, incarnated by Guo Dalu, created countless traps to hurt the enemy, a person with a knife, naked and knee-deep in the snow with more than 200 soldiers.
From time to time, he burrowed into the ground, suddenly appeared on the top of the tree, and sometimes even entered the frozen river, and took a sneak attack on the soldiers under the ice, and after a few days, more than 200 people were reduced by more than 100 people, and finally he had to make a distress call and ask for support from his superiors.
When the superiors realized the seriousness of the situation and sent troops to support the town with heavy weapons, Lan Bo had already escaped from the encirclement, and then encountered a large military truck pulling munitions.
Things in the back are not much different from the original, the protagonist Lan Bo drove a truck into a police car blocking the road, drove into the holiday town in a puff of smoke, and began to take revenge on the police station.
He told the chief of police that if the chief pressed him again, he would let him see the unimaginable war, and now, he brought it!
When Lan Bo unstoppably broke through the layers of blockades and entered the police station and was about to kill the chief, the old superior colonel appeared behind Lan Bo, "The battle is over! Lan Bo, the battle is over!"
The meeting between the commander and the soldier naturally caused Lan Bo, who was a soldier, to be greatly aggrieved, and after Lan Bo vented his anger hysterically, he was finally taken out by the colonel.
Guo Dalu's performance at the end of the film, this kind of tough guy who bleeds bloodless without tears, but cries like a child in front of the old chief, the kind of complaint about society and his own confusion, as well as the nostalgia for his fallen comrades, deeply moved all the audience at the scene.
By the end of the movie, a group of viewers were still immersed in that indescribable sadness, and everyone had no smile on their faces.
Among Wang Xiaolu, Murong Xiaoxue cried like a tearful person, "It's so feeling, woo woo, I didn't expect Brother Da Lu to cry too, woo woo woo ......"
Wang Xiaolu said: "Okay, okay, this is a movie, it's not real, you are not ashamed!"
Song Qian looked at Wang Xiaolu, with excitement on her face, "Xiaolu, this movie is amazing! It will definitely become a dark horse in film and television dramas! This is a real blockbuster!"
For the Chinese people in this world, there is no decent commercial blockbuster in China so far, and most of them are small-budget movies.
Occasionally, there are a few so-called big movies starring Xiao Xianrou, but after they are broadcast, in addition to the brain-dead fans who think it is good, the mainstream society is scolded.
A lump of golden stinky shit dangled in front of me, and it was estimated that few people could hold back the scolding.
The "big" in Huaxia's big movies refers to spending a lot of money, but most of this money has fallen into the pockets of the actors, especially Xiao Xianrou's salary has accounted for more than one-third of the total budget of the film, and the salary of the rest of the supporting actors also accounts for part of the budget, and then the remuneration of the crew and post-production costs, as well as the money spent on film promotion.
These movies that use Xiao Xianrou as the starring role are generally the kind with very poor scripts, just like the book that Huang Botao asked Xiao Xianrou Chu Tiange to shoot before, the storyline was dragged together stiffly, and there was no basic logic, so it couldn't be called a script at all.
After this kind of movie is made, there is nothing to come up with except for spending a lot of money. But the way the movie is made like this, "spending a lot of money" is a shame in itself.
Spending so much money to shoot a piece of, no one will think it's an honor.
Movies based on small fresh meat, although they cost a lot of money, they basically won't lose money, even if it's really a piece of, it can't stand others like to eat it!
Who makes people have a lot of fans, all kinds of brain-dead fans are willing to spend money for their idols, and some even directly charter the show, just to increase the box office of their idols, which is also the main reason why many directors pinch their noses and invite Xiao Xianrou to participate in their own movies - no one can't get along with the box office!
Nowadays, this situation has led to the fact that domestic films are becoming more and more utilitarian, filmmakers are becoming more and more impetuous, and the consequence is that there are fewer and fewer excellent films, and there are almost no successful commercial films. The most successful commercial film is Guo Dalu's "East Becomes West", which broke through the one billion box office mark and refreshed the box office record in the history of Chinese cinema with a small and large amount of investment and not a lot of investment.
Don't look at the fact that some filmmakers keep looking for Guo Dalu's movies from the professional aspect, in fact, more people are jealous, Lao Tzu has made movies for so many years and has not made any money, why do you make so much money when you are not a filmmaker?
Under the imbalance in his heart, he naturally wants to scold to vent his unhappiness.
This is one of the main reasons why those filmmakers have abused Guo Dalu's works before.
But although Guo Dalu's previous movies made money, they were a little less atmospheric.
Whether it is "East Becomes West" or "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is just a kind of farce, and there is a deep atmospheric flavor missing in it, until the advent of "First Blood".
"First Blood" let the Chinese people know for the first time what a domestic blockbuster should look like!
