Chapter 112: Uncle
Wang Jie let Xiangjiang DreamWorks enter the preparatory stage in advance, and he originally expected to start filming after the Spring Festival next year, but the plan could never catch up with the rapid change, because Lin Qingxia was pregnant, which was a surprise.
Other women were full of complaints about Wang Jie after knowing that Lin Qingxia was pregnant, especially Audrey Hepburn, who was even more envious. Wang Jie's other women are either young or very ambitious, but Hepburn, because of her age, she really wants to have a crystallization of love with Wang Jie.
After several directors of DreamWorks and Wang Jie's closer people learned the news, they came to congratulate them, and of course they also gave some valuable gifts, among which Zhang Guorong was the most interesting, he actually wanted to be the godfather of Wang Jie's child, but under the resolute opposition of Wang Jie's apprentice Li Lianjie, he finally failed, and Li Lianjie didn't want to shorten Zhang Guorong out of thin air.
Since "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been postponed, Wang Jie can only choose to use the prepared conditions to shoot a new film, he chooses and chooses, and finally chooses a Korean movie that he liked very much in his previous life - "Uncle"
"Uncle" was formerly known as "Lone Agent", and the original time and space is a South Korean action drama film directed by South Korean Lee Jeong-fan and starring Won Bin and Kim Sae-ron. In order to truly reproduce the world of the drug organization, Li Zhenfan checked a lot of information to do his homework, and the action scenes were also quite gorgeous and bloody, but Li Zhenfan said that "Uncle" is just a movie that focuses on "narrative" under the banner of "action movie". The film is known as the Korean version of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", and Won Bin's outstanding performance has also fascinated countless female audiences across South Korea. The film was released in South Korea on August 4, 2010, and hit a box office of more than 6.2 million viewers, making it the highest-grossing Korean film of 2010. The following year, it won many awards such as the Korean Daejong Award, the Blue Dragon Award, and the Baeksang Arts Awards, and was the highest-grossing film in Korea in 2010.
The film tells the story of former agent Cha Tae-seok who lost his wife who was pregnant with Rokko during a mission, and was deeply devastated and hid in the city alone. The only person who can talk to him is Zheng Xiaomi, the little girl next door. Xiaomi's mother is a nightclub dancer who is deeply addicted to drugs, and steals the drugs traded during a gang deal, which causes her and Xiaomi to be kidnapped by the gang, and under the coercion of the underworld, Cha Tae-seok is used and framed by the gang, at this time, he discovers an extremely murderous human organ and drug trading network, and Xiaomi's situation is also in danger. In order to rescue Xiaomi, the protagonist is chased by the police and carries out a touching revenge action against the black forces. In the end, after a battle of wits and courage with the underworld, Cha Tae-hee single-handedly eliminated the evil underworld gang, rescued Xiaomi, and interpreted his fatherly responsibility with life and death actions.
Wang Jie has made a lot of revisions and adaptations to the script of this film. First of all, Wang Jie puts the location of the story in Xiangjiang, and the lines of the police and criminals in the film are a highlight of this work, but many of the dialogues in the film are a little loose, especially compared to Cha Tae-seok's short monologue, the little girl's monologue is slightly dragged, and compared with Cha Tae-seok's rich emotional performance at the end, the lines are slightly pale in terms of expressiveness, and the touching music does not play its due role. As an action movie with a distinct theme, the film has done a great job of controlling the audience's attention. Suppressing the short knife with his wallet in an instant, Cha Tae-seok neatly fractured his opponent from the first fight, and used a coherent turn to force his opponent to drop the blade. But because of the consideration of the proportion of action scenes, in the fight in the steam bath, there is no more humanized side, which is somewhat a pity, for which Wang Jie specially found Yuan Baye as the martial arts instructor of "Uncle", Wang Jie wants to deeply process many actions, and add some beauty and humanization on the basis of actual combat. At the same time, Wang Jie also modified many lines, removed the procrastination parts that have nothing to do with the plot, and added relevant dialogues that lead the story. Secondly, if you watch the film, you will find that in fact, "Uncle" only has the skin of a "killer", and compared with "This Killer is Not Too Cold", the two films are still very different in terms of perception. First of all, "Uncle" adopts the narrative mode of two clues of the police and bandits, the film starts with a drug transaction under the supervision of the police, Xiaomi's mother's accidental intervention involves her and Xiaomi in the gang struggle, on the one hand, the police track the drug trafficking group, on the other hand, the uncle breaks into the sight of the police and bandits to save Xiaomi, the clues gradually become one under the traction of the uncle, and the three groups of people start a bloody contest for three purposes. This makes the story content of "Uncle" very trivial, compared with the in-depth excavation of simple relationships in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", "Uncle" can be said to take into account all aspects of the story, from the complete background of the uncle, to the details of Xiaomi's life after falling into the hands of the enemy, and the cohesion and operation of all links within the drug trafficking group. In this way, the story is slightly unfocused, the rivalry between Xiaomi and the uncle is pitiful, although there are a lot of cute points, but the accumulation of emotions does not seem to be enough for the uncle to offend both black and white, and the emotions between the uncle and Lori cannot be compared to the similar love between Leon and Matilda in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", so the story is not full, but it is just a heroic man's heroic dream. Wang Jie adjusted the main line of the story, and many unnecessary side details were streamlined, adding the rivalry between the hero and heroine.
In the actor part, Wang Jie originally wanted to use his apprentice Li Lianjie to play the protagonist Cha Tae-seok, but he didn't expect Zhang Guorong to see the script when he came to visit, and he was deeply moved by the story at a glance, and resolutely asked to act, this is the first time Zhang Guorong took the initiative to ask for a role, Wang Jie considered Zhang Guorong's image and influence, and finally agreed to let him play the role of Cha Tae-seok. In the play, Wang Jie, the corner of Zheng Xiaomi, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and finally thought of a person, but Wang Jie had to go to the Huaxia Continent to find it in person. The killer who fought against Cha Tae-seok, Wang Jie gave it to Ren Dahua, and after Ren Dahua saw the script, he found that the villain he played was finally not so bad, which made him very happy and happily took over the role. In the role of Wan Xi, the leader of the evil forces, Wang Jie chose Dasha Cheng Kui'an, who was not only a contracted actor of DreamWorks Brokerage at this time, but also a team leader of the Blackwater International Xiangjiang Branch, mainly responsible for the daily security work of DreamWorks Pictures.
After setting everything, Wang Jie ushered in Christmas in 1987.
