……………………………………
"Okay, this is good, but if you really want to shoot it, special effects are also a problem, which will burn a lot of money!"
The oriental version of "This Man is from the Earth" "Immortality", which was written by many online novel authors in the future, was definitely a shocking ghost and god before "This Man is from the Earth" appeared, so that Jiang Wen couldn't calm down!
Seeing Jiang Wen's excited appearance, Su Da obviously guessed that the other party wanted to be crooked. Thinking that this was a science fiction movie with a big investment, he suddenly smiled and said: "I told you that it costs money, believe it or not, I can make this movie without spending a penny!" ”
Jiang Wen suddenly looked at Suda with a dark face, and scolded: "Suda." It's still not a brother, you don't shoot me such a good idea, believe it or not, I'll live in your house, anyway, you have a lot of houses, and it's a waste to be empty, I have to call my wife and ask her to bring the children over and enjoy it! ”
Obviously, Jiang Wen misunderstood again, he thought that Su Da wanted to sell this idea. After all, it is obvious that if you really want to shoot, it is absolutely impossible to build a foundation without hundreds of millions, so it is not enough to rely on Su Da's family, so obviously, it will not cost a penny to hear Su Da say again. Obviously, he wants to borrow chickens to lay eggs, empty gloves and white wolves. This set was originally played in "Sunny Days".
"Don't worry, the director is definitely yours, and it doesn't matter if the actor gives it to you!" Su Daha laughed, the first time he played tricks on Jiang Wen was so comfortable!
"That's okay, I'll be tired, and the director and actor will shoulder it. It's also a bit of a money-saving! ”
Jiang Wen will not be polite to Su Da, which director doesn't want to make blockbusters, look, since Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was born, its huge success in the market has excited the film industry. Then there was a surge, which announced the arrival of the era of domestic blockbusters.
When "Hero" swept the mainland box office in 2002, another "hero" was also being created. Its production level is not inferior to "Hero", this is "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" on the National Day last year, however, this film does not have the myth of "heroes" pushing forward waves, on the contrary, it is a box office failure and mixed reputation.
The reason is that on the one hand, the lack of national culture affects the quality of the film, and on the other hand, due to the fact that there are too many amazing similarities with "Hero" in terms of film theme, publicity momentum, marketing methods, etc., and the lack of its own commercial brand, the investment in this film is 1/3 of "Hero", but the box office income is only a fraction of the former, and the rate of return is difficult to proportionate.
Last year, Lao Mouzi once again re-enacted the blockbuster model of "Hero" "big star, big investment, big publicity, and high returns", inviting the ageless male god Liu Dehao, who was responsible for Jin Chengwu, relying on the two copies of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", Zhang Ziyi, who became an international star, and the movie "Ambush on All Sides" starring three popular actors has become one of the most anticipated films this year!
Then the Chinese brothers experienced the failure of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", but they are still ambitious, the leading director Feng Xiaogang plus Anita Mui and Lau Dehao, two actresses and actors who don't need to talk about it, the lineup of "No Thieves in the World" is just there, and the attention is definitely not under "Ambush on All Sides"!
Jiang Wen is itching in his heart, even Feng Xiaogang can make blockbusters, although he knows that he has no experience in this area, but it is still the old saying, a director who doesn't want to make blockbusters is not a good director, now that he has such a good opportunity, Jiang Wen naturally does not want to miss it, as long as the director's position is his, other problems are not a problem, and even Jiang Wen can not be paid anything.
"Okay, you work harder, write this script too!"
"You want me to write?"
"Yes, the script I want is like this......!"
As Su Da's requirements for the script came out sentence by sentence, Jiang Wen's face became more and more ruddy, incarnated as Zhang Liang to help Liu Bang unify the country, incarnated as Huo Quai, broke the Huns, sealed the wolf Juxu, incarnated as Zhuge Liang, helped Liu Bei seize Jingzhou and Yizhou, govern Shudi, pacify the Nanban, etc., Jiang Wen's face became more and more wrong, and he couldn't help interrupting Su Da's narration and asked: "Suda, so many big scenes, it costs a lot of money, and there is so much content, so ...... No, you want to shoot several films in a row, right, in that case, it's okay! ”
Listening to Jiang Wen's self-questioning and self-answering, Su Da couldn't help but smile bitterly, afraid that Jiang Wen would really fall into the devil, and hurriedly told the truth, but Jiang Wen was shocked, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Su Da with a look of disbelief, this posture was maintained for a few minutes, or when Su Da assured several times in a row that he definitely did not deceive him, Jiang Wen stood up in a rage, slapped him on the desk, and asked: "From the beginning of the relationship, you are playing with me?" What blockbuster, what science fiction film, is this script also something you casually say to tease me? ”
"I didn't lie to you, and I didn't say it was a blockbuster, besides, who said that science fiction films have a lot of special effects, there is still a soft science fiction concept in science fiction films. And my script for "Immortality and Immorality" is a soft sci-fi movie! Su Da pretended to have an innocent expression, although he did want to tease Jiang Wen at first, but seeing Jiang Wen's angry look now, Su Da definitely didn't dare to admit it.
Jiang Wen also remembered, it seemed that at the beginning. Except for Su Da who said that it was a science fiction movie, the other speculations were all made by himself, and he was suddenly angry, but his mouth stammered: "You... I... Anyway, I don't care, your uncle, I'm going to make a blockbuster! "He used to be envious, jealous and hateful to Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, isn't there a good money owner? Now that he also has a gold owner, he is naturally unwilling to fall behind!
"Then will you shoot "Immortality"?"
"Don't shoot, deceitful stuff. I won't shoot! ”
If Su Da is willing to spend a lot of money on special effects, then Jiang Wen is naturally eager to take over, but just by telling it, this is still a science fiction film, and even Jiang Wen himself doesn't know what the hell is the concept of soft science fiction, not to mention the audience in the mainland who have been brainwashed by Hollywood blockbusters all year round, it is definitely a pit to shoot it, and it may even damage his reputation.
"Have you seen "Twelve Angry Men"?"
Suda knows. If Jiang Wen is not persuaded to believe that this "Immortality" is definitely a classic, then it is estimated that Su Da will have to come up with a sum of money to satisfy Jiang Wen's desire to make a blockbuster. Who let Su Da know Jiang Wen too well, although he can refuse Jiang Wen's unreasonable request, but the friendship between him and Jiang Wen will definitely produce a crack again, and this crack is likely to lead to the conflict between Su Da and Jiang Wen in the future, and finally end up in the wind!
Suda who has experienced it once. Absolutely unwilling to come to Jiang Wen again, whether it is Jiang Wen who is inseparable from the company's film production now, or the relationship between Su Da and Jiang Wen, Su Da must perfectly solve this misunderstanding, so. Only if Jiang Wen really cares about "Immortality" and understands its classics, then needless to say, Jiang Wen will be very happy to take over "Immortality"!
What the? You say you don't want blockbusters? Jiang Wen will definitely smack your face, a subverted concept of science fiction films, and its name will definitely appear when soft science fiction is mentioned in the future, how can Jiang Wen be a classic movie that can be replaced by a blockbuster.
"What the hell?"
"If you haven't seen it, then I suggest you go find it, after reading it, let's discuss "Immortality", if you still can't watch "Immortality" after reading it, then I will invest you in this script in your hands!"
Suda is confident that "12 Angry Men" was originally a black-and-white film produced by MGM. Directed by Rumet, Reggino. Ross screenwriter, Henry. Fang Da, Li. Cobb, Martin. Starring Balsum and others.
The film tells the story of a boy who grew up in a slum and is accused of murdering his biological father, and the bystanders and murder weapons in the case are all ironclad evidence, and the 12 people who serve as juries in this case must discuss the case in the jury lounge before the case is closed, and the results of the discussion must be unanimously approved before the case can be officially closed!
Each of these twelve men had their own professions and lives, and among them were clever advertisers, outspoken engineers, unsightly rich men, discriminatory new aristocrats, irascible old policemen, shrewd bankers, and salesmen in a hurry. Everyone has their own way of thinking and speaking, but except for Henry. With the exception of Fonda's Engineer, the rest of the group dismissed the case and decided that the boy was the killer before it was even discussed.
All the evidence showed that the boy was guilty, and it seemed that there was no need to discuss it. However, the first vote was 11 to 1 to find the boy guilty, and according to the legal process, it must be a unanimous vote, that is, a vote of 12 to 0, for the court to accept it.
The first to stand up for innocence was David, and as a result of David's insistence, and as a result of scientific speculation on the three key pieces of evidence, the climate in favor of innocence began to spread among the other eleven jurors. The vote on whether the boys were guilty or not also began to change dramatically: 11 to 1, 9 to 3, 8 to 4, 6 to 6, 3 to 9, 1 to 11.
In the end, through the conflict of various outlooks on life and the contest of various ways of thinking, all the jurors cast their sacred votes responsibly. Finally, all 12 jurors reached a unanimous verdict: not guilty!
In Suda's view, many classic movies such as "This Man is from Earth", "God of Killing", "Sniper Phone Booth" and many other classic movies have the shadow of this movie released in 1957, and even the 57 version of "Twelve Angry Men" has won many nominations for the Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards; At the Berlin International Film Festival, he won the Golden Bear Award in one fell swoop!
In Su Da's view, the excitement is no less than "Immortality" of "Twelve Angry Men", as long as the script is exciting enough, it will definitely be one of the indispensable classics in the Chinese film industry, which is based on the fact that "This Man is from Earth" can win the favor of Chinese fans, summed up!
