Chapter 842: National Hatred and Family Hatred
Lu Dongfang looked at Ye Qiu, he wanted to see if Ye Qiu was really so godly, although Ye Qiu also said it casually in the previous "Wolf Warrior", but after all, some time had passed since this matter itself, so it was not ruled out that Ye Qiu had already made a draft at home.
And "Operation Mekong" was decided by him temporarily, so if Ye Qiu can also modify a script on the spot, it will really be a god.
"Let's start with a movie like "Operation Mekong", if the movie is made according to Hollywood, they will tell a different story if the main plot line remains the same. Ye Qiu first talked about it from the perspective of Hollywood.
Lu Dongfang looked at Ye Qiu with interest, in fact, Huaguo's movies are deeply influenced by Hollywood, and they have been mentioning learning Hollywood movies, but there are not many people who can really apply what they have learned and learn the essence, or in other words, many times, Hollywood movies are indeed better than Huaguo, but directly taking the Hollywood model and using it will definitely not work, because the surprise of the region and the surprise of the culture will make copying and copying become four dislikes.
However, it is undeniable that Hollywood is ahead of China in the export of the main theme of ideology and values, not only China, but also Hollywood is at the forefront of the world.
"The same is to organize people to hunt for murderers across borders, the Hollywood plot must be a military official to find a certain protagonist who has retired or been expelled from the army because of a mistake, hoping that he can go out to complete this secret mission for the country, but the protagonist will definitely not agree at first, because this matter has nothing to do with him, why should he work hard for the country? If he dies, he will not be recognized by the state, and in our Chinese words, he will die in vain. Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Then the military officials return in vain, but at this time, there will definitely be something that makes the protagonist change his mind, such as the villain coming out to die, either killing the protagonist's brother, or hurting or kidnapping the protagonist's girlfriend or relatives. This kind of bridge is very bloody, and it is the usual bridge in Hollywood. ”
Then, the protagonist was angry and took the initiative to find the military to ask for cooperation, and the rest of the plot was connected to the part of "Operation Mekong" that went abroad to arrest the murderer, in general, it is to adjust the beginning, and do not use the official vision to shoot, but the audience's sense of substitution will be very strong, because "Operation Mekong" has to say that there is only national hatred and no family hatred, and the national hatred is really a bit empty for the general public, but family hatred is different, especially the revenge of this little person, which is very in line with the psychology and logic of a small person like the public. ”
"Hollywood's main theme plot has always been the same, national feud is often the background of the story, and family hatred is the trigger of the story. Of course, this will definitely make the national hatred be diluted, emphasizing family hatred, national hatred is too lofty for ordinary people, but family hatred is different, obviously revenge for relatives and friends, this kind of thinking, this logic is more down-to-earth, because this is what every ordinary person can do. Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Lu Dongfang smiled and shook his head and said: "This kind of shooting will definitely not work, in the ideology of our army, defending the country and eliminating the invaders is the first priority, and all training and political and ideological education are carried out around this concept."
And the American soldiers don't think so, they are more about the education of professional ethics, out of love for this profession and weapons, etc., of course, there is also patriotic education, but there is more self-stuff.
The second is the difference between beliefs and the people served. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has the concept of a state and a nation and believes in justice. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is the army of the Chinese people, so in addition to safeguarding the security and unity of the motherland, it is also the duty of the PLA to protect the people and build a beautiful homeland.
The American military is a professional soldier, being a soldier is a profession, it is to earn money, and it is only responsible for fighting, emergency rescue and disaster relief is not the task of the American army, there is a national concept but no national concept, and the sense of justice in the war is not very strong, so it is rare to see American soldiers go to rescue and rescue disasters, and it is often seen that the American army wantonly invades or occupies weak and small countries......
"In the United States, when retired soldiers refuse to recruit military officials, their people will think that it is a very normal thing, but in China, if they really shoot like this, it will definitely not work, and the people will only think that the protagonist is not patriotic. ”
Ye Qiu nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Therefore, it is definitely not possible to completely copy the Hollywood model, because this does not conform to our national conditions and ideological concepts, but the combination of Hollywood's national hatred and family hatred model is feasible after countless movies, so we can learn from the Hollywood model, but we can learn from this model of national hatred and family hatred." ”
"So, if it's in Huaguo, how can this family hatred be shown, and how can it be inserted in the movie?" Lu Dongfang asked.
"If you don't consider the sensitivity of real events, from the perspective of pure commercial films, I will definitely arrange for the hero's girlfriend to be kidnapped by a drug lord like the previous "Wolf Warrior", and the actor embarked on the road of hunting for murderers in a foreign country in order to save his girlfriend, but unlike "Wolf Warrior", the rebellion in other countries is an emergency, and the protagonist was involved because of a mistake, but "Operation Mekong" is something that has already happened, so it will definitely not work to arrange the plot in this way. Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Yes, the two real events are different, "Wolf Warrior" is because of a national rebellion, so it is normal and natural for the protagonist to be involved, but "Operation Mekong" is different, if you agree to arrange the protagonist to be involved, it is a bit far-fetched. Lu Dongfang nodded and said.
"So, we have to change the inducement, the protagonist is also a special soldier, and among the thirteen victims of the Mekong River tragedy, one is the protagonist's brother, the protagonist swore to slash the enemy, so he broke away from the army without permission and infiltrated the Golden Triangle to find revenge on the enemy. ”
"Because the purpose of the protagonist is to stab the enemy, and the purpose of the task force is to capture the other party alive, there can be a conflict here, and the purposes of the two sides conflict with each other. ”
At first, the relationship between the two sides conflicted with each other, but later because of the cunning of the enemy, the two sides were forced to join forces, and finally the protagonist captured the enemy alive, but the protagonist did not kill him in the end, but chose to hand him over to the serious crime team and let him stand trial. ”
"The reason why the protagonist is introduced as a character who does not exist in real events is to introduce family hatred in the main line of national hatred, so that the main theme of the movie is no longer so deliberate. ”
"The advantage of introducing the protagonist is that as I said before, the plot of "Operation Mekong" is bloody enough, but it lacks literary drama and emotional drama. ”
"If it's a pure commercial movie, it's not difficult to reconcile the plot, it's OK to just add a heroine and the protagonist to fall in love, but this movie can't, because in the original plot, all the characters are public officials, and they came to a foreign country to arrest criminals with a national mission, and they also took time to fall in love in the process, which is too discordant?"
