Regarding cooperation with Huayi Brothers, Song Zheng's first thought was "Hurricane Rescue", when he was filming in Tengchong, Zhang Jingchu was kidnapped by the head snake, and after rescuing Zhang Jingchu, he had this idea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason why there has been no movement for a long time is because the funds are not available, and secondly, because with his directing skills at that time, he really did not have the confidence to direct such a Hollywood-style commercial blockbuster.

In case he really hits the street, I'm afraid he will really go back to the street to sing.

After such a long time, this idea has never been abandoned, and when he was filming "Talented Men and Women", he was writing this script intermittently, and it was not until the Chinese New Year that this script was completed.

Of course, Song Zheng's Chinese version of "Hurricane Rescue" is also a little different from the original in terms of storyline, first of all, the characters, all of whom have been moved by him to become Chinese.

Guan Zhe, a retired member of the Ministry of National Security (who used the name of the royal stylist very evilly, Song Zheng in order to add a little masculinity to that brother) wants to be a competent father and make up for the loss of fatherly love by his daughter Guan Ying in the past.

Seeing that his ex-wife Su Xue and daughter have now re-established a happy family with others, Guan Zhe fell into deep self-blame, in order to meet his daughter's desire to be a singer, he specially bought a karaoke machine, wanted to give it to his daughter as a birthday gift, and took over the task of protecting the famous female singer.

In the mission, Guan Zhe performed prominently in emergencies and was thanked by the female singer, so he asked the female singer to guide his daughter.

Daughter Guan Ying, who has just turned 17, insists on going to Paris for a vacation with a friend, and Guan Zhe is uneasy when she sees her daughter leave her parents for the first time.

Just after Guan Ying and her companions arrived at their apartment in Paris, a group of kidnappers rushed into the room and abducted the two, and with the help of former colleagues, Guan Zhe found out that this was a criminal group mainly engaged in drug trafficking and organized prostitution, and the forces behind it were extremely huge, and Guan Zhe only had 96 hours to rescue his daughter.

On the day of the incident, Guan Zhe took a plane to his daughter's apartment in Paris, and found out in the broken mobile phone card that after Guan Zhe arrived at the Paris airport, he met a Chinese man named Peter, it turned out that Peter was the nursery of this criminal group specially sent to lure and track underage girls, Guan Zhe found Peter and chased after him, causing Peter to die unexpectedly in a hurry to escape, and the clue was interrupted.

The road to rescue is full of dangers and bottomless, Guan Zhe found an old friend, once in the process of cracking a large transnational criminal group, a friend he knew, now a senior official of the French security department, from the clues provided by Jane, Guan Zhe found the nest of this criminal group.

After several ventures to investigate, he learned that Guan Ying had been sold to others, and Guan Zhe saw the girls who were deeply harmed by drugs and forced to prostitute themselves, and felt more and more that his daughter Guan Ying was more and more unlucky.

But at this time, Jane chose to follow him because she was afraid that Guan Zhe would cause too much incident, Guan Zhe stabilized Jane, and after several twists and turns, he finally learned where Guan Ying was sold.

But at this time, Guan Ying has been sold, and Guan Zhe has also been caught, however, Guan Zhe manages to escape and kills the person in charge of organizing the women's auction to catch up with the buyer.

After a desperate battle, Guan Zhe rescued his daughter and got her daughter's understanding, and the father-daughter relationship became deeper.

Song Zheng is a lazy man, and his Chinese version of "Hurricane Rescue" is basically no different from the original "Hurricane Rescue" except for the names of the characters and the background.

Especially in the setting of some characters, it can't stand scrutiny at all, but this is a commercial blockbuster, what the audience wants is cool, as long as the action scenes are exciting and the scenes are big enough, who cares if the setting is rigorous or not.

And the key reason why Song Zheng thought of using this movie to cooperate with Huayi Brothers is also because, in his previous life, "Hurricane Rescue" itself was a very successful commercial film.

Just three days after its release, the original "Hurricane Rescue" grossed $24.6 million in the United States and Canada, with $145 million in North America and $82 million overseas.

In addition, this theme can also be made into a series, the original version of "Hurricane Rescue" has been filmed three times until Song Zheng was reborn, and it is completely different from other series of movies that are more and more difficult at the box office, "Hurricane Rescue 2" is $139 million in North America and $236 million overseas, and "Hurricane Rescue 3" is $177 million in North America and $300 million overseas.

The reason why this series of movies can succeed is that in addition to the accidental luck factor, the unique personality of the film itself hidden under the traditional elements is the inevitability of the film to create a box office miracle.

Hollywood action movies with traditional routines generally have a "wonderful three-minute" opening, using a wonderful action scene to get the audience excited first, and then move to the main plot, and then push the film to a climax with a rhythm of slowness, action scenes and emotional scenes.

And "Hurricane Rescue" is completely different, it clearly separates the emotional scene from the action scene, the opening scene is a smooth mess, and the subsequent action scene is so tense that there is no room for stopping, which can be said to subvert the traditional Hollywood action movie path, which is why some audiences feel uncomfortable and complain about the slow rhythm of the opening scene.

However, this kind of "procrastinating" emotional drama actually plays an important role, and the audience gradually bets on the feelings of the characters through the opening life scene and the emotional rivalry between father and daughter, the father's meticulous care for his daughter, and the emotional generation gap and run-in between father and daughter, which will undoubtedly resonate with many audiences.

If most of the action, thriller audiences are men, then, "Hurricane Rescue" is very unexpected, and surprisingly unisex, and even won the hearts of many female audiences, although the story is still old-fashioned, the lone hero is resourceful, athletic, deep into the tiger's den, and catches it all.

However, the placement of the emotional core and the establishment of the relationship between the characters make this movie look new, not only with exciting and fiery action scenes to feed the audience's eyes, but also with secret, subtle, and moisturizing emotional scenes to tease the audience's heart.

Of course, the key to the success of this movie lies in the enjoyment, clean and neat, without any mud and water to save the girl, it is true that this movie is too prominent in a sense of personal heroism, but when the daughter is in trouble, the endless fatherly love and sacrifice spirit shown by a father has turned into the infinite combat power of people blocking and killing, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha is already the most powerful logic, making this movie a good action that is enough to make people's blood boil no matter from the rhythm control or emotional creation.

The original "Hurricane Rescue" received rave reviews upon its release, with a rating of 7.9 on IMDB, making it the best-rated action commercial film of the year, earning $145 million in North America and $226 million worldwide. Actor Liam?? Neeson has also become a new generation of uncle-type "action male gods". Since then, two sequels have been released in succession, and despite the decline in word of mouth, the global box office is still strong.

At the same time, the "Hurricane Rescue" series has been a great commercial success, and it has also attracted a group of imitators, especially the neat and sharp action scenes in the "Hurricane" series, which have been borrowed by many films, and even many of them have been borrowed from Liam?? Neeson's men of the same age also began to make such movies, and suddenly Uncle action movies sprung up like mushrooms, forming a trend, which shows the influence of this film at that time.

With such a movie, especially a series of movies, Song Zheng even felt that if he didn't use it, he would be sorry for being reborn again.

Nowadays, the blockbuster era of Chinese movies has been opened by Zhang Yimou's "Hero", but to be honest, Song Zheng's perception of "Hero" can only be said to be average, although many film critics praise "Hero" from many aspects, what color is used, the combination of sound effects and the story itself, the philosophy contained in the movie itself, etc., but there is one point, "Hero" as a blockbuster, but it is a very failure.

Cool point is insufficient!

If you think it's pretty good after watching "Hero", then Song Zheng believes that after the Chinese audience watches "Hurricane Rescue", they can only say that it is too awesome, some things can't be compared and can't see the gap, it is also a commercial blockbuster, and people's storytelling techniques are also clever, not only the plot settings are interlocking and fascinating, but the characters are also very successful, and the father-daughter relationship even makes Song Zheng, a person who is not very distracted, a little moved after watching it.

Although the story of the movie itself lacks novelty, the compact plot, humorous lines and wonderful action scenes, I believe that the audience will definitely enjoy it in the process of watching the film, just like tasting a delicious action movie feast, so Song Zheng is very optimistic about the potential of this movie after it is transformed into a Chinese version.

If you are just an audience, the original version of this movie, Song Zheng has watched it several times in his last life, he likes the action style of this movie very much, simple, rough and realistic, there are not too many fancy actions, basically a few deadly moves, very textured, it feels a little similar to the style of "Spy on Spy 3", and a few chase scenes on the streets of Paris are also very exciting and enjoyable.

In general, this is a rare personal heroic action movie that is not verbose, many shots are "unreasonable", which is unexpected, but it feels very enjoyable, it is enjoyable, as a recognized action movie, let every audience see what a brave father and how "ruthless" and decisive and simple "bodyguard"!

In the story, the hero's calm and resoluteness can be seen from the phone monologue when his daughter disappeared, he is not anxious, not afraid, but very calm and said, "I will definitely find you!"

He acted without ink, very decisive, seemingly reckless, but in fact very rational, he knew what degree he had to grasp the "threat" in order to make the other party tell the truth, without too much dialogue, he could realize that he must be an experienced and extraordinary agent bodyguard.

Especially the headshot at the end of the film, the confrontation at that time, I believe that many viewers who have watched this movie can guess that the fat man may have to negotiate like the "normal bridge" of the movie, and then he may say "I want to talk to you, I will give you my daughter, you let me go", but he never expected that he died so suddenly!

In addition to the clean and neat action scenes in the film, another bigger gimmick is the father-daughter relationship scene, of course, this is also one of the biggest highlights of the film, most action movies are mainly "action", and other family scenes are basically auxiliary lines that can be ignored, and there is a lot of dog blood.

And "Hurricane Rescue" handles the family drama very well, especially the use of "divorce" and "climbing wealth", which makes this father look so tall and strong in front of the divided family and the rich but useless father.

The plot of the film is very sensitive to the word "family", there are three families mentioned in the film, and they are intertwined and contradictory, one protagonist and his daughter are a family, this family seems imperfect, but it is very happy, the other two most perfect are Jane's family, and the other is his own family described by the villain.

It's all for their own families, for money, but the kind of dirty deeds that the latter two colluded with to get money and finally let them perish, they had no grudges with others, but they shouldn't have messed with such a strong father who shouldn't have been messed with.

In addition, this movie also reflects the dark side of many societies, the dirty transaction of abduction, trafficking, and women in the play is terrifying, especially the half-dead pale expressions of the girls who were forcibly transfused with drugs and the tragic situation after being ravaged, which makes people wonder if there is really such a terrible transaction in reality?

In this regard, Song Zheng can only say that now this world is for money, this kind of thing should exist, right? !

Nowadays, being rich is capricious, and the group of rich people in the film bid for "virgins", playing capricious, perhaps, there may really be this kind of perverted "pleasure" in reality, right? !

However, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, controversy will always defeat evil, although being rich is willful, but if you provoke this father, it is more "willful" to play with you!

In reality, there are many girls who "cheat" like their daughters, but if they really encounter such danger, who can really have such a strong and brave father?

Although this movie is very American and heroic, Song Zheng really likes it!

The movie is not long, but the plot is compact and full of tension, compared to those who don't come for two hours, the mother-in-law's things are so good that I don't know where they go!

Although it is a film about a spy or a secret agent, there is a certain distance from the big brother level such as "Disc Shadow" and "Disc in Sauce", although the storyline is compact, it still seems a bit vulgar, but it does not affect its own excitement.

Wang Zhongjun originally just wanted to reach a cooperation intention with Song Zheng, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Song Zheng said so much, especially some of the plots about the movie depicted in Song Zheng's mouth, which immediately grabbed his heart.

Wang Zhongjun was hesitant to make a blockbuster film in Feng Xiaogang's previous period, and the key reason was not that he was timid and afraid of problems, after all, everyone knows that in order to run a real commercial blockbuster, the first thing is a big hurdle.

Compensation, Wang Zhongjun can afford to pay!

But the reason why he didn't agree to Feng Xiaogang, and finally made Feng Xiaogang choose to leave Huayi Brothers in disappointment and go it alone, the key reason is that Wang Zhongjun feels that the entire Chinese film circle is still not capable of running a real commercial blockbuster.

Hollywood's commercial blockbusters have swept the global box office market, and that's because after so many years of exploration, people have already mastered a whole set of operating models.

Script, shooting, post-production, publicity and distribution!

Every step is the key, and if one step is not done right, the final result is to hit the street.

Feng Xiaogang had no experience in directing a purely commercial blockbuster before, and Wang Zhongjun really didn't dare to let him open a copy rashly.

To put it bluntly, Wang Zhongjun just has no confidence in Feng Xiaogang, but at this moment, after listening to what Song Zheng told him, Wang Zhongjun's heart was moved, Song Zheng just said in great detail, especially the story itself, Wang Zhongjun, as a tycoon-level figure in the entertainment industry in Chinese mainland, it is not difficult for him to know the quality of a script.

This is the script of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster of a movie, and all kinds of cool points are available, especially the story itself, although it is vulgar, Wang Zhongjun can also hear a little vulgar, but the vulgar is not outdated at all, and many heroic commercial blockbusters launched by Hollywood in recent years have taken this road.

There should be, it can be said that the story Song Zheng told him is already there, if Wang Zhongjun is not moved, it will be strange.

"Xiao Song!Are you serious!?"

Wang Zhongjun was a little skeptical, especially after "The Sky of History" was pitted by Song Zheng once, at least that's what Wang Zhongjun thought, he really couldn't believe that Song Zheng was willing to take such a good book and cooperate with Huayi Brothers.

Song Zheng smiled: "Mr. Wang, I have said it in such detail, do you think I am just joking with you!?"

When Wang Zhongjun heard this, he smiled wryly, and also felt that he was a little suspicious, and said: "I don't mean that, I mean, last year's studio of yours didn't make a lot of money, and now at the beginning of the year, your studio's action should not be very big, the funds are abundant, and if you invest independently, you can't afford it, why do you want me to cooperate!?"

Why!?

Why did Song Zheng come today!

If the 1+1 studio has the ability to distribute now, Song Zheng will have nothing to do when he is full, so he will let Huayi Brothers share their cake, and Song Zheng is not only thinking about making money in the domestic market with this movie, but he is also staring at foreign markets, especially the United States.

But as a Chinese filmmaker, who doesn't want to make Yankee money!
