Chapter 80: The Twelve Angry Men

Even if the attention of public opinion has shifted to the jurors and the law, Hao Zhongwu still did not stop muddying the waters behind his back, and he was even closer, when Zhang Yao decided to shoot a new film, they first released the film plan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Our Hao's company ******** the atmosphere of the film and television industry, and we really despise the behavior of some people, and we have been paying attention to this incident and deeply sympathizing with the actress's experience."

Hao Zhongwu had already jumped out unabashedly, probably guessing that Zhang Yao and they must have known that he was playing tricks behind him, so there was no need to hide it, and he would definitely not take Zhang Yao and them in his eyes, so he was so unscrupulous.

If you decide that the other party is helpless against you, then what are you worried about? At this time, Hao Zhongwu was in such a state of mind.

"In view of the great impact of this incident, we decided to make a film based on this theme, and the heroine of the incident has accepted our invitation, so please look forward to it."

For such a situation, there are indeed people who are looking forward to it, but more of them are complaining or even scolding directly, the court has already determined that Zhang Yao was slandered, but they still swear to stand on the side of the actress, and they still want to adapt this into a movie?

"Is this trying to say that the court's decision is unfair?"

"Before the nude/photo incident, no one knew where this was sacred, but now it's okay, and I'm directly promoted to the heroine, in fact, I did so many things just to get on the top, right? It's hard for you. ”

"I know that there is no bottom line in the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point. The same is true for film and television companies, is it really good for others to consume such red fruits? ”

Everyone can see that the Hao brothers just want to take this opportunity to make a profit, otherwise how could they move so fast, and it hasn't been long since the verdict came down, and they are already going to make a movie.

This is not to rub off on this popularity, if the incident completely subsides, the attention will definitely plummet, and then make a movie to make money, although everyone has only gotten this, but Hao Zhongwu will not admit it.

"We didn't want to consume anyone, and the reason why we decided to make such a film was not to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, as some people say, but because of the social responsibility of a first-class film and television company."

Hao Zhongwu talked eloquently in an interview, "Many people are actually wrong, although our movie will have some behind-the-scenes truth revelations, this is not a gossip movie, in fact, it is a very serious drama." ”

"Everything about this incident is worth reflecting on, including the court's decision, so we will explore a heavy topic from all sides, how the weak can defend their rights in front of the strong."

If it was in the original time and space, Hao Zhongwu would not dare to deny the verdict so publicly, but because the Yanhua Empire has a different system, no matter what, as long as he does not break the law, the court will have no way to take him, at most, he will stand up and refute it, and repeatedly prove the fairness of the verdict.

And when a person decides to ignore it, no matter how much it is proved, it is useless, which Zhang Yao can understand best. And Hao Zhongwu spoke very well, he definitely did not cross the line, he never pointed the finger at the court from beginning to end, nor did he clearly question the unfairness of the verdict, no one can do anything about him.

With the help of the east wind, this matter also spread quickly, and Ning Xue said after knowing it: "It is his freedom to make any movie, but if it is to smear Zhang Yao in the movie, they will also have to pay legal responsibility, he won't be so stupid, right?" ”

Anyone can adapt popular events, Zhang Yao can't stop this, they all say that it is easy to bypass him if they are adapted, but when the court has already made a judgment, if you ignore the judgment and smear the parties in the movie, you can still defend your rights.

Hao Zhongwu is definitely not so stupid, Xia Yaohan said: "Who knows what it will be adapted to, maybe it's just a boo, in fact, I hope they will insinuate and smear Zhang Yao, so that it will be easier to solve, a lawsuit can make him unbearable, and save him from jumping up and down." ”

"Wait until their movie is released, this incident can really be stopped, or I'll go crazy." Zhang Yao is really too lazy to pay attention to it anymore, he was irritated for so long and finally solved it, and if he continued to pull it off, it became more and more endless, who could stand it.

Zhou Hongwei said: "If they are going to make a movie, don't they just collide with your ideas?" Speaking of which, what movie are you going to make this time, is it also because of this incident? ”

"You can say that, but it doesn't really matter, one thing is the same as Hao Zhongwu, this will be a very serious movie, about justice and the jury system, the name is Twelve Angry Men."

"The name sounds like an action movie."

"Twelve Angry Men" was originally a classic Hollywood movie in the fifties of the last century, because it was so classic that there were countless remakes, Hollywood itself remade it once in the nineties, as well as the Russian version, the Japanese version, and even the Celestial Dynasty, which has a completely different judicial system, couldn't help but remake one.

This film is a wonderful interpretation of the basic principles and moral values of the jury, and it is also of great significance from a legal perspective, not only a movie, but also a rare and valuable spirit.

After Zhang Yao watched this movie in his previous life, he was fascinated by the common law system, the formal legal system used by the Yanhua Empire in this time and space that he thought was the best, but those jurors were completely different from what he expected, so he wanted to make this movie.

Originally, in time and space, the domestic remake version was called "Twelve Citizens", but Zhang Yao still felt that it was better to call it "Twelve Angry Men", and the word "anger" in the name was the finishing touch, so he adopted this name.

Xia Yaohan said as soon as he heard it: "Don't talk about the type, I heard that this name is twelve actors, and there is not a single female role?" ”

"The main characters are twelve, but they still need some supporting roles, and they really don't need female characters this time." This is a man's group play, and there is no need to modify this, so Zhang Yao also insisted.

Xia Yaohan then said: "Okay, Ning Xue, we are out of play, decide which actors you need quickly, we can also make arrangements, and the theater performance is also being rehearsed." ”

"It doesn't seem like there's anything to arrange, and we don't have more than twelve hip-hop actors in the second class combined, and as long as there are men, it's even more sad." Hao Yiwen helplessly spread his hands, and now they are indeed facing the problem of manpower shortage, and they didn't bother to recruit new ones for a while.

Zhang Yao thought about it and said: "Because of this incident before, Li Yang called me, and I also told him about the movie, and he expressed his interest, in fact, if the role is required, his age is the best, and the sense of social responsibility of middle-aged people will be stronger, which is more in line with the theme of the movie." ”

"But we can't find so many good middle-aged actors." Xia Yaohan shrugged his shoulders and said: "You have already offended most of the film and television industry, and now there are Hao brothers stumbling behind your back, where can you find so many actors, unless you don't care about acting skills, it's almost the same." ”

"Twelve Angry Men" is still a single scene, relying entirely on the actors' acting skills and lines to drive the plot, and the requirements for acting skills are much higher than those so-called youth films.

"So I said it was actually the best, but unfortunately it didn't work." Zhang Yao said: "I thought about finding a teacher from the school to play before, but the aftermath of this incident is still there, and it is still inappropriate to think about it, so I gave up." ”

"So what should I do, I can't just give up because of this, right?" Ning Xue frowned, quite worried.

Zhang Yao said: "Of course it's impossible, I'm a screenwriter, if it's not suitable, change it, what's the matter." So now I decided that the six male actors in the second class of hip-hop, plus Xu Can, Zheng Xiaohai, Yue Tao and me, are already ten, and then I can go to the acting department to find two suitable boys. ”

"I'll take care of this." Xia Yaohan easily agreed, she already had such resources in her hands, of course it would not be difficult.

Originally, the Tian/Chao version of "Twelve Angry Men" in time and space, because there was no jury in China, the story could only be changed to a simulation, rather than a real trial, which was actually nonsense enough, and it was criticized a lot.

has been insisting on a prosecutor, and the shiny national emblem at the end is even more innumerable, of course, everyone knows, this can't be blamed on the director. In addition to these, in fact, the domestic adaptation is still wonderful, and it also gave Zhang Yao a hint.

In the domestic version, the law school requires the parents of students to simulate, so if Zhang Yao wants to remake it, he can also learn from it, since he can't find suitable middle-aged actors, all of them are young actors, so he can simply set it up as a student to simulate.

There was a criminal case in society that caused widespread discussion, and the teachers of the law school gave the students a question and asked them to simulate a jury to go to the province to solve the case. Such a change should also be reasonable.,The only trouble is the identity and occupation in the original work.。

Regardless of which version it is, the twelve protagonists in the story are all from different walks of life with their own professions and completely different personalities, which is a bit difficult to perform if they are all students.

Although it is difficult to consider, but you can only work hard in this direction, Zhang Yao also tried his best this time, and pondering the script is enough for a headache, after all, this can no longer be said to be a copy, but an adaptation.

The previous movies basically haven't changed much, it's naturally easy to write the script, just copy it, but now it's a matter of moving the whole body, and if you want to tell the story reasonably and excitingly, you have to rely on your own efforts.

However, although this is much more difficult, it is certain that there will be more and more times in the future, after all, there is no point in copying it completely, and it is more appropriate to remake it according to your own ideas.
