Looking at the girl in front of him named Zhou Xun and talking to him, Huang Xiaoming only felt that his scalp was numb, because he didn't know each other at all. The last thing he remembered was that he was on a peacekeeping mission in Somalia. ”

Huang Daliang sat in the train car, waiting for the crew to set up the scene, and at the same time took the effort to study the script.

He read a script and then turned his head to look out the window.

Outside the carriage, director Zhang Tan was waving a loudspeaker and loudly talking to the heroine Zhou Taiping about the key points of the performance. Zhou Taiping shook his head or nodded from time to time, and every time he shook his head, Zhang Tan would show impatience, look a little irritable, and his volume increased greatly.

"Remember, natural, natural, don't deliberately understand!"

"Movies are not TV series, you have to get rid of your own TV drama acting methods, you haven't acted in movies, why are you so stupid!"

"Don't explain to me why, just promise me if you can ...... Give you five minutes to brew! ”

Looking at the reprimanded Zhou Taiping, Huang Daliang had a sense of schadenfreude in his heart, because he was usually scolded by Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan, who is very easy-going in private, once he enters the state of director, becomes a very picky and irritable person, and he does not let go of any flaws in the details.

Although it is always unpleasant to be scolded, Huang Daliang must admit that Zhang Tan seems to be working like a sophisticated computer, he has a complete film in his brain, and there is rarely on-the-spot play when shooting. The work is done in advance, and the filming progress is progressing rapidly.

Huang Daliang also admires Zhang Tan's screenwriting talent, and the script of "Source Code" is very cool. After he became popular, it was not that there was no script to come to the door, but I had never seen such a high-quality script.

It's still a science fiction film.

The story in the script originated from a government project called "source code". Terrorists of the Western Turkistan separatist forces. He caused a train bombing in Haijin City, and announced that he would commit a terrorist act in Beiqi City next time. For the safety of millions of people in Beijia City, the government launched the source code project.

They found the brain cells of the victims of the Haijin bombing, extracted the footage of eight minutes before death, and let the helicopter pilot Huang Xiaoming "cross" to the identity of the deceased through technology. Find out the terrorists who made the bombs.

Huang Xiaoming was resurrected in the world he traveled through again and again, and then was blown up again and again, and finally slowly sorted out his clue, it turned out that he had been killed in the peacekeeping operation, and only his brain was left to work, and it was consistent with the source code plan, so he had to join this plan.

In eight minutes, a moving train, and a world is born.

Huang Xiaoming is in the cycle again and again. I gradually realized that perhaps the memory I was passing through was not just a memory...... I don't know how many explosions, he finally found the terrorists, saved the train, and saved the next terrorist attack.

Just when he finally thought he would be back in the real world, eight minutes were up and he found himself standing in a new world.

The plot of the script. It's complicated to say that it's complicated, mainly because the derivation of parallel worlds will wrap people into it. But it's simple and simple, it doesn't matter how many parallel worlds there are, it's just to perform eight-minute tasks at a time, and finally get liberation. In the progress of the main line, family affection and love are included.

It can be said that the script is exquisite, and it also contains great ambitions.

Huang Daliang can't put it down with this script. As soon as he has free time, he wants to figure it out carefully, and of course, he didn't try to decipher the parallel world, which would have wrapped him around.

Feeling that the IQ is not enough.

Anyway, Huang Daliang thinks. This time, "Source Code" will definitely become a masterpiece of the rise of domestic science fiction!

However, I heard from the inspector that the script review was not very smooth before, and I was forced to whitewash the government in the script and become the representative of Wei Guangzheng, otherwise it would be more in-depth...... Radio and television, the-stirring stick, is not enough to succeed and more than to lose! Huang Daliang was distracted.

When the film was established, there were indeed some twists and turns.

At that time, the script was submitted for review, and the people of the review committee thought that there were two points that would not work, which would affect social harmony. One is the setting of terrorists, which will seriously affect national unity and cause adverse consequences. Another is the government-developed source code scheme, which would tarnish the government's image.

For this reason, Huayi Brothers used a lot of connections here, and Zhang Tan also had several meals with the head of radio and television, and then revised the settings three times, deliberately highlighting the good image of the government in the source code project, respecting personal wishes and protecting the safety of the public. As for the terrorists, they have also changed from the original Uyghur actors to Han actors.

Fortunately, these two points are innocuous details, and after revision, they are adopted. Otherwise, Zhang Tanyi would stop filming in anger, and scolded radio and television every day.

……

Zhang Tan, who is busy with film shooting, not only directs "Source Code", but also supervises "Crazy Racing". The racing car was filmed in Xiamen City, and Zhang Tan had to often take time out of Haijin City to go to Xiamen City, which took up a large part of his personal time.

This made Zhang Tan quite unhappy, he didn't want to become a workaholic.

Because of this, he didn't even attend the premiere of the movie "Dragon Babu" produced by China Film Group. The scale of investment in this film is not large, but it is not small, and the cost of more than 40 million yuan is definitely far worse than that of blockbusters that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, which is a medium cost.

Now the domestic market is getting bigger and bigger, and the scale of film investment is gradually rising.

It's a pity that the premiere of "Dragon Babu" was very large, but the word-of-mouth fell across the board, which was worse than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" produced by Huayi Brothers, with a Douban score of only 4.7 points, almost all of which were bad reviews.

"What **** plot."

"It's completely ruining the detective's novel, don't shoot it if you don't make trouble!"

"In the past, I thought that the four famous capture series engaged in by Sonic Pictures were making money, but now I find that China Film Group is the one who makes no secret of the idea of making money, and it is too lazy to fool the audience."

"I strongly ask Tan Zhang to shoot it himself, and it can only be brain-dead if he hands it over to others."

"In addition to the chivalrous costumes, the whole film is full of the flavor of third-rate romance dramas, and it is also a Vietnamese romance drama."

"Novels are bigger than TV series and bigger than movies, and a crab is not as good as a crab...... Tan-style martial arts are about to be ruined by you! ”

"One of my favorite martial arts novels, you just shoot this for me?"

However, in the midst of such overwhelming scolding, the box office of the movie continued to rise, and finally gained 164 million yuan. Seeing this situation, the king general, who had not yet come out of the shadow of the word-of-mouth and box office double hit the street in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

"Shooting the Condor" scored 5.2 points, and the box office failed to break 100 million, which was worse than the subsequent release of "Against the Cold", which scored 5.7 points and won 176.3 million, which can be blamed on the fact that no one else filmed well.

However, "Tianlong", which only has a score of 4.7, also sold 164 million, which makes the king embarrassed.

"Why!"

The king will look up to the sky and sigh.

Not to mention that the king will not be able to see through, and Zhang Tan will not be able to see through it, he later found time to watch "Dragon Babu", and felt that it was really bad, mainly with Duan Yu's family as the protagonists, which weakened the sense of existence of Xiao Feng and Xuzhu, focusing on the relationship between Duan Yu and several younger sisters, and it was a bloody comparison.

The only thing to do is that there are several actresses, all of whom are beautiful.

Later, in a media visit class of the "Source Code" crew, Zhang Tan was interviewed by reporters and asked this question, Zhang Tan said: "I watched "Dragon Babu", the adaptation was chaotic, to be honest, I don't mind the movie making big changes, after all, the novel has millions of words, and it is very difficult to condense it into a movie, but I personally can't accept such a subversive change." ”

"Tan-style martial arts adaptations of TV series are very successful, adapted into movies, box office losses and wins, but the reputation is very low, why is there such a result?" Questions from reporters.

Zhang Tan thought for a while and said: "The TV series is very long, you can include as many stories as possible in the novel, the movie is very short, you have to find the most essential part and adapt it." ”

"Why didn't Director Tan shoot it himself?"

"The rights have been sold, and if I want to shoot, I can think of another story."

"As a writer and director who started martial arts novels, when will you shoot martial arts movies?"

"I will probably wait for a few years, and I have written martial arts novels for several years, and I want to change some themes and broaden my horizons."

The reporter asked again: ""Xiao Li Flying Knife" will be released in the spring of next year, how much do you expect from this movie?" ”

"Xiao Li Flying Knife" produced by Bona Film is scheduled to be released in April 2009, because it is not a blockbuster, so it deliberately avoids the highly competitive schedule.

"I wrote this novel very devotedly, tried a new style, only 500,000 words, and the story is not complicated, I hope to shoot it better, and don't make the character of Li Xunhuan unpopular."

Zhang Tan doesn't care much about the adaptation of his novels, and since Tan-style martial arts became famous, his novels have become the most popular IP, bringing a steady stream of output. It has nothing to do with him, after all, the copyright is a one-time payment.

You can make money lying down, so what's the trouble.

He is not a businessman, so he has to hold on to his old capital and squeeze out the potential value. Now "The Tip of the Tongue" is rolling and replaying on CCTV, and it has become popular from domestic to foreign, and even foreigners have paid attention to this documentary. However, Zhang Tan didn't say that he would just put it aside, no matter what he didn't ask.

Since he claims to be a literary and artistic creator, it is the right thing to do to create good works and win awards.

Money is a thing, just make money.

……

Within a few days of the reporter's visit, it was the year of the Rat, and the Year of the Rat was about to finish its steps. It has been more than two months since the start of "Source Code", and the crew has completed most of the content of the script, and the progress is much faster than planned.

Zhang Tan waved his hand, and the crew had a two-week holiday.

Then he took Susa back to his hometown for the New Year.

At the same time, Li Yan can't relax during the Chinese New Year, and "A New Year on the Tip of the Tongue" produced by Lu Ying will enter theaters across the country as a documentary film to meet the audience. (To be continued.) )
