"Since the theme to be expressed is brotherhood, I don't think it should only be between brothers, but also between brothers of the opposite sex...... Wu Yulin told Chen Yongren.

The two were discussing the plot of "The True Colors of Heroes", Chen Yongren heard Wu Yulin's words, nodded in agreement: "I agree with this very much, human nature is a very complex thing, sometimes brothers may not know each other and respect each other, and some will even turn against each other for the sake of interests, and some people who have nothing to do with each other before, we can see each other at first sight!" ”。

Wu Yulin's "The True Color of Heroes" is a remake, the original is a drama film with the theme of release from prison created by Long Gang, a famous director who likes to contact social issues more than ten years ago; Remakes are a difficult thing to do, and sometimes even harder than creating a new movie.

First of all, since it is a remake, there must be a previous work, no matter how high or low the level of the previous work, the latecomers will inevitably be affected by it, which will limit the latecomers to a certain extent and restrict their creation.

Secondly, if the previous work is in the front and the remake is successful, others will add credit to the previous work, and it is just a simple praise for the latecomer, unless the level of the latter is too much beyond the previous work, it can replace the previous work and become a new classic.

Moreover, since the latecomers chose to remake, most of the previous works were classics in their own right; If the popular and respected predecessor fails to be remade by a latecomer under the banner of tribute, it will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people; Therefore, it takes a lot of courage for latecomers to dare to make remakes.

Although Long Gang's "True Colors of Heroes" is not well known, it is also a classic, with a box office of more than 400,000 in 1967, and it is a non-commercial film that exposes social problems.

"My idea is to still retain the invisible concept of the original work, and in terms of plot, I can do a new routine and incorporate some action scenes, of course...... It's a shootout, and I've always wanted to translate the violent aesthetics that my teacher is famous for into something for me, and I was inspired by you a lot when I was filming Die Hard, such as the slow motion and staggered editing you talked about, which I think makes sense, but you didn't actually apply it to the movie, which makes me feel particularly strange......."

Chen Yongren quietly avoided Wu Yulin's gaze, joking, his aesthetic of violence was limited to a conceptual understanding, let him actually operate and use it...... It's okay, but it's easy to mess up; He just wants to invisibly reduce the time for Wu Yulin to take detours, not to mention that "Die Hard" itself is a classic, if it is ruined because of his half-baked level, where can he cry?

"I'm also groping, not to mention that the concept of "Die Hard" has long matured in my heart, and other things ...... Try it slowly in the future! Chen Yongren said with a smile; Worried that Wu Yulin would say something beyond his understanding, he followed up and asked, "Have you ever thought about integrating your true emotions into the movie?" ”。

"My true emotions?" Wu Yulin was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, ......", Chen Yongren nodded and said: "Even if it is integrated into the action scene, this is just a very simple and ordinary police film about brotherhood, and it is still inseparable from the shadow of the previous work, I think this is boring, although it is a tribute to the classics, but we should do more to surpass the classics, so that future generations will know that you Wu Yulin is filming your own "True Colors of Heroes", not because Long just had your "True Colors of Heroes", what do you think?" ”。

"Ah Ren, you have a lot of sense, but I don't understand it...... What does this have to do with my personal feelings? Wu Yulin asked.

"If you think about it carefully, since I was expelled from Golden Harvest, the days between me looking for you are not very similar to the prison of the protagonist in "Hero Ben"? When we make movies, the audience is our relatives, and the senior brother doesn't want to be looked down upon by the younger brother like the protagonist, so he wants to be a new person; Senior brother, you are the same, your own experience is this "The True Color of Heroes", so the level of this movie will determine your future life! ”。

Wu Yulin's heart was like being struck by lightning, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, as if he wanted to grasp something, but they were fleeting.

Chen Yongren looked at the stunned Wu Yulin and continued: "The fate of the protagonist can remain the same, because he will eventually be a new person; But other characters can have a whole new image, the protagonist's brother, friend, or even the villain, and we can add some dramatic changes to the movie, not only the plot, but also the fate of the person ......."

"It's no longer an ordinary brotherhood......" Wu Yulin raised his head sharply and blurted out.

Chen Yongren nodded and smiled: "That's right...... There is no distinction between brothers and you, life and death, I think this movie should be a multi-protagonist movie, what do you think? ”。

"Ahan ......," Wu Yulin muttered.

Chen Yongren nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The name Ahan is not good, I think people who are righteous are very handsome, and his name should also be very handsome, what do you think of Mark?" Chinese name can be called Pony, Brother Mark, Brother Pony...... There is also a movie named "The True Color of Heroes", the protagonists are both heroes and heroes, the protagonists are proud, and the younger brother should also be heroic, so they are called Hao and Ajie......".

"The tragic life of heroes and heroes, life is frustrated but they do not give up their ideals and ambitions!" Wu Yulin said.

"Ideals and ambitions are explicit, and men's inner pursuits are the dignity ...... life."

"Well said......"; Wu Yulin raised his head and said, "Ah Ren, you are really my confidant!" ”。

Seeing Wu Yulin's eyes shining and excited, Chen Yongren said with a smile: "You go back and think about it again, write the script well, I will start the preliminary preparations, believe me, the behind-the-scenes and actors will be decided by me, and strive to start filming before the end of the month and complete it within a month; I have some obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it is a decision that cannot be changed if "Die Hard" will be released in four months, whether the company can return the funds within these four months depends on your "True Colors of Heroes"! As it stands, I'm going to put all my money on you! ”。

Wu Yulin smiled: "I can feel it...... You really understand me, or you understand the movie "The True Color of Heroes", what you said, between brothers, everything is in the knowing, you will host the behind-the-scenes work, and I will hand over the script to you within a week! ”。

Chen Yongren smiled and nodded, in fact, as early as a few days ago, he had already started to prepare for this matter, the main body behind the scenes continued to follow the team of "Die Hard", the cinematographer Huang Yuetai is definitely stronger than Huang Liheng of the original work, the editor is still Golden Horse, "Die Hard" is looking for him, and the art director is the same Lei Zhiliang cooperated with Ye Jintian.

It's just that two more soundtracks have been changed, Chen Xunqi is not good, the Cantonese "Love of the Year" in "The True Color of Heroes", the Chinese "Tomorrow Will Be Better", and the Hokkien "Avoid Losing Ambition" are all very classic existences, and you have to find the original Gu Jiahui and Luo Dayou.

In terms of actors, the current situation of senior brother Di Rong is not much different from that after the discontinuation of the Xian family in his memory, he used to have at least four or five movies a year, and sometimes seven a year, but last year there were only two "Hero Shen Shengyi" and "Shaolin Descendants", and there was a guest appearance in Zhang Che's group drama movie "Shanghai Tang Thirteen Taibao", this year there is only one "Demon Temple Slaying Dragon", and he is still the villain, and now Chen Yongren, who is his junior brother, asked him to play the leading role in the movie, which is naturally very smooth.

Brother Zhang Guoren, who is now in the music industry, but his performance in the film industry is mediocre, and he has always wanted to prove his acting skills, because he was deceived in the early years, he was very cautious about choosing the movies he participated in, but Chen Yongren's image is quite positive, and he has won awards abroad, and there is no obstacle either.

Zou Yunfa still retains the title of "box office poison", and the movies are all popular, but now the situation has begun to improve, for example, a few days ago, there happened to be a movie "Love in a Fallen City" directed by Xu Anhua, with a box office of only 8 million Hong Kong dollars, which can only be said, in fact, if there is no accident, Fa Ge will soon have two movies to help him save a little reputation, that is, "Aura" and "Waiting for Dawn".

"Aura" is one of Zou Yunfa's only two works with a box office of more than 10 million before "The True Color of Heroes", and the other is "Wife Killer Duo" released in 1986, both of which are ghost films and comedies produced at a small and medium-cost cost, which are ordinary.

"Waiting for the Dawn" made Zou Yunfa the best actor at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor and the Best Actor at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, which made everyone affirm his acting skills; These are also the basis for Chen Yongren to dare to talk nonsense when he first met Zou Yanfa.

However, now neither the tens of millions of box office nor the double actor has happened, so Fa Ge's situation is still worse than when he filmed "The True Color of Heroes" in his memory, Chen Yongren is looking forward to Zou Yanfa's performance of Xiao Ma in this state is definitely more exciting than in memory.
