Chapter 178: Immortality (Two Chapters in One)
Science fiction films, as the name suggests, are genre films based on science fiction. As early as 1902, Georges MΓ©rieux created the first science fiction film, A Trip to the Moon, and since then, science fiction has become the most indispensable film genre in the world of cinema.
Science fiction films not only bring countless wonderful ideas to people, but also provide ideas for scientific inventions in real society to refer to. This is also the reason why science fiction films are becoming more and more alive, and you can not only appreciate the visual impact unconsciously, but also activate your brain, why not.
But although the genre of science fiction films is in China, it is a type that can't see the sun for the time being, basically who touches and who dies, of course, everyone doesn't know what a domestic science fiction film is.
Little ones may also know about something, such as the Armored Warrior or something.
"Tens of thousands of dollars? Or tens of millions of dollars? Su Chang asked with some uncertainty.
Su Chang didn't react at once, these two concepts are obviously in conflict, investing tens of thousands of yuan and sci-fi blockbusters, the two can be said to be completely incompatible, and they can't get together at all, as we all know, but if a movie can be used to talk about the term sci-fi blockbuster, the investment has to be calculated with 100 million yuan.
"That's right, it's tens of thousands of yuan!" Han Yi replied with a smile, "And it will be done in a day or two!" β
Now Su Chang is even more confused, even if there are tens of thousands of yuan of sci-fi blockbusters, there are still scenes that can be filmed in a day or two, isn't this nonsense? It's not a drama, and even if it's a drama, it's not so fast.
"You don't have a fever, do you?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Han Yi's forehead.
"I'm sober, and you heard me right."
"Is it a cameo? That's no problem. "Thinking that it can be finished in a day or two, it can only be a cameo, "Wow, Han Yi, how can we say that we have also been a couple for a day, why do you have to give a supporting role, just send me away with such a trick, and my friends are gone." β
Looking at Su Chang, who was very disappointed, Han Yi smiled: "It's not a pity for an actor of your level to come to play tricks, don't worry, no matter how you say it, you have to be the female number one." β
"Really! Is it like the female number one you buried alive, who only said a few words and didn't even know what she looked like? β
Su Chang remembered that in the live burial, there was indeed a female number one in the back, well, there was only one woman, but only the back was seen.
"Rest assured, it's definitely the positive female number one. Have you seen the black-and-white movie "Twelve Angry Men"? It's similar to that movie! β
"Twelve Angry Men" is a very classic film in the United States in the fifties of the last century, the whole scene plus the toilet is less than 40 square meters, and there is only one scene in the whole film, relying on the dialogue of the twelve people, supporting the whole film.
The script of the film "Twelve Angry Men" is the key to its excellence. In his meticulous, rational, and powerful plays, the screenwriter puts forward a great proposition: how should people exercise the power in their hands in a democratic society? Hidden behind this lies a higher philosophical reflection: in difficult circumstances, we should still try to maintain respect for life.
Han Yi is also going to do this because of the problem of time this time, and the dialogue of the characters will support this film, which should belong to a kind of soft science fiction.
Even Han Yi felt that he was hanging a sci-fi sheep's head and selling literary and artistic dog meat.
Listening to Han Yi say this, Su Chang also understood, she still believed in Han Yi's pen power and knowledge, although it was a bold attempt, it should not be too bad.
"Okay, I promise you, when will the filming start, you will sue me, but you will have to reimburse me for staying in Beiping for the past few days." Su Chang joked.
"That's fine, but because of the budget, you can make a cameo! The salary is free, a small business, and I can't afford to pay your old salary. β
"This is okay, but if you accidentally sell it in the future, you have to give me a big red envelope." Su Chang waved his hand angrily, and said with a smile: "You can notify me when the time comes." β
"What is it called, it was accidentally sold, you have to have confidence in this day, okay?" After getting a role, Han Yi also joked with Su Chang with peace of mind.
"Oh, then in case it sells."
"......, is there a difference between the eldest sister?"
"Nope!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Hahahaha~!"
Throughout the morning, Han Yi accompanied Su Chang to visit his school and several colleges and universities next to him, but in fact, Su Chang knew better than Han Yi, and she only graduated from the second foreign language last year.
Compared with Han Yi, an otaku, she is naturally more familiar, so to be precise, Su Chang should take Han Yi around.
In fact, Su Chang is also a genius, she skipped a grade when she was in elementary school, studied in middle school and university, and filmed at the same time, even so she did not fall behind in studying, she and Han Yi are the same age, but Su Chang has graduated for a year, and Han Yi is still in his junior year.
This movie requires a total of seven people, and Han Yi is going to find his running boy brother group to see if they are free, and if so, let the brother group fill the remaining vacancies.
At noon, Han Yi dialed Wang Zulan's phone first, but unfortunately Wang Zulan has been abroad recently, and he won't come back until the next episode of Running Man recording, and this is also the case with Bady.
Han Yi also knows that he is looking for someone like this temporarily, and he really may not be able to find it, after all, everyone's itinerary has already been set, like some popular ones, and even the itinerary is scheduled for next year.
Sighing, Han Yi dialed the phone number of the big black bull.
"Hey, is Li Cheng here?"
"Who am I?" Han Yi could hear some noisy sounds from Han Yi, and Han Yi estimated that Li Cheng was on the set or at a party at this time.
"Big Black Bull, it's me, Han Yi."
"What a rarity, how come you have time to call me?" I have been joining the running men's team together for so long, and in my memory, it seems that this is the first time Han Yi has taken the initiative to call him.
Han Yi said straight to the point: "I have a movie here now, I need someone to help, how about you have been free recently?" β
"Movies?" Li Cheng felt a little confused when he heard it, Han Yi still has a high-profile "Hero" in his hand that has not started, why is there another movie?
"A science fiction film won't take up too much of your time, just a day or two." Han Yi probably talked about the game.
"Nacheng, when will you start calling me, it just so happens that I'm resting these days!"
"By the way, Sister Bingbing is with you, you can help me ask, if she is free, you will be together, I will give you the identity of a couple." Remembering that there was still a female character in his script that had not been booked, Han Yi asked.
After listening to Han Yi's words, Li Cheng was silent for a while, it is estimated that the two are now together!
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed with this, but I have time, you see when the shooting starts, I'll go look for you."
"That's it, that's okay, there's one and the other, the day after tomorrow, can you come over?" Han Yi calculated the time and said.
"So urgent, okay, no problem, I'll fly over tomorrow, and I'll look for you when the time comes!"
"Cheng, I want to send you the script by email, you can read it in advance. But the budget is not too high, you have to give me a friendship star, if the box office is good in the future, I will give you a red envelope! β
"OK, I have something to do here, then we'll see you tomorrow."
Li Cheng is now visiting his girlfriend's crew, and the two of them are very affectionate now, but Li Cheng is actually under a lot of pressure, and his girlfriend is really good.
He also wants to desperately get out of this circle now, how many years have he been in this circle, this is the first time he has such a strong idea, so as long as it is possible, he will not miss any opportunity.
The show Running Man gave him a very good platform, but it was far from enough for him, Li Cheng still has a long way to go now!
After calling Li Cheng, Han Yi called the others one by one, and the last people who could come were Li Cheng, Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang, and everything else had something to do.
originally wanted to find Niangniang and Deng Chao to play a couple, but after getting through, I remembered that when I was recording Running Man before, Hu Ge said that he was filming with Niangniang and Sister Bingbing, and it was really no drama after asking.
plus Huang Bo and Su Chang, so that Han Yi found a total of five people, and there are still two missing, there is not much difference between men and women, anyway, it is a movie that is supported by dialogue, and it is okay to change the language characteristics.
"There are two left." Thinking about it, Han Yi began to conceive his script again.
"Eternal Life and Immortality" is the name of Han Yi's new work this time, or it can also be called "This Man is from Earth".
Suppose a man tells you that he lived for 140 centuries, that he was a caveman, that he had the opportunity to sail with Columbus, that he had the opportunity to listen to music with Beethoven, that he had painted with Van Gogh, that he had listened to the teachings of Shakyamuni, that he was a good man, --- Jesus, and that he had the wisdom that time had piled up.
One day you suddenly appeared, he is a friend of yours, a colleague who has been with you for many years, what do you think? Question him with a myriad of questions? Or believe him? Ask him countless questions?
Han Yi's new movie tells such a story, and it tells such a thing:
The 35-year-old history professor at Harvard suddenly resigned after a decade of service, and his colleagues were puzzled and came to his home to urge him to explain.
This group of colleagues came to his house as a guest, and found that his house was full of antiques that seemed to be real and fake, as well as all kinds of strange things, and in the hearts of these scholars, all kinds of questions and inquiries came to their faces.
But the reason he gives surprises them: he claims to be immortal, has lived for 14,000 years, and cannot stay in one place for 10 years, or his secret will be discovered.
In the face of this statement, everyone was a little annoyed, and they scrambled to debunk this lame excuse, and everyone began to question him, and the originally friendly farewell party began to have a very different atmosphere......
This is a pseudo-sci-fi film with the hat of a sci-fi blockbuster, without the dazzling stunt pictures that were common in sci-fi blockbusters in the past, and there is no one who needs the protagonist to save.
A few sands, a stove, and a few scholars began to talk, and the whole film was explained by language.
Human beings have been pursuing eternal life since ancient times, and the dream of eternal life has always been rooted in the lowest level of human consciousness, buried for a long time, but never extinguished.
Even some ethicists, when explaining the source of parents' selfless love for their children, explain from this point that the child is a continuation of the parents' dream of eternal life.
In this film, the dialogue between an immortal man and several knowledgeable university professors in front of the fireplace awakens our long-dormant dream of eternal life, and Han Yi himself is more confident in this new film.
In this film, actors don't need any big names, after all, they end up competing in the United States, and no matter how big the domestic actors are, they are basically the same on the stage in the United States.
For actors, Han Yi requires tension between gestures, this movie depends on the skills of the actors, if there are no good actors, they are destined to hit the street.
Among the characters, there is a look of self-confidence that has passed through 10,000 years; Fear of subversion of faith; There is a psychological imbalance in the face of the Eternal, and all of them are wonderful.
This is a philosophical debate, and there are no science and engineering experts among these professors, but social scientists, archaeologists, anthroposociologists, psychologists, and even university students, religious people, and so on.
Except for dialogue, all of them have to be performed through faces and bodies, or through the eyes of the eyes, which people who don't have super high acting skills can't control.
However, Han Yi is more confident in the few people he has chosen, these people are all absolute acting skills, and they can take the lead, and the protagonist Han Yi is ready to hand over to Deng Chao or one of Huang Bo.
After several episodes of Deng Chao's recording, Han Yi also understands his acting skills, but because he looks a little handsome, his acting skills are easy to be underestimated; Not to mention Huang Bo, in the live burial, the one-man show in the whole film has perfectly proved his acting skills.
The latter also has an advantage, that is, because it is buried alive, it is still well-known in the world, but this qiΔ will not be able to draw conclusions until the two of them arrive, and Han Yi can only draw conclusions after a little interview.
