Episode 202 "Source Code"

With the care of a professional confinement lady, Wang Rong's confinement went well, she ate well, slept well, and her children were also healthy.

Now Wang Rong has also been doing more than half a month of confinement, and now she can't blow the wind but it's okay to walk around in the room, the villa is very big, it's warm as spring, and it's enough for Wang Rong to move from upstairs to downstairs, Ding Xu accompanies Wang Rong if she doesn't go anywhere, so Wang Rong is more grateful to Ding Xu, and she likes her more and more, and Ding Xu will be by her side when everyone else goes to play.

has a confinement sister-in-law, Ding Xu, and there is no need for a big man like Lin Feihong, so Lin Feihong has time to write a script.

"Source Code", this is the movie that Lin Feihong will shoot next, it's not that he wants to make this movie for no reason, nor is it a movie that is boring in the playback system in his head, just because of the Malaysia Airlines incident!

One night during the Chinese New Year, he thought that if he could go back in time and find the cause of the accident before the plane crash, then this tragedy would not have happened.

Thinking of this if, this similar image naturally flashed in his mind, and soon, "Source Code" came to his mind, so what he is going to shoot now is a movie based on this incident.

The "Source Code" tells the story of Captain Kurt Stevens, a U.S. Air Force pilot on a mission in Afghanistan, who suddenly wakes up and finds himself on a high-speed train, while an unknown woman, Christian, is talking to him. Cole doesn't know why he's on the train, and he realizes that he's in the form of another person, when an explosion suddenly breaks out on the train......

When Kurt wakes up again, he finds himself in a sealed space chamber, where a female officer, Goodwin, is talking to him via video and asking him to report what happened on the train. Before a confused Kurt could figure out what was going on, he was put on the train again. After this time, Kurt finally realizes that he is on a mission to investigate the Chicago train bombing, find the terrorists, and find his next target. Kurt was put on the high-speed train again and again, with only eight minutes to interrogate each time, and during the investigation, Kurt found out that he had died a week earlier, and it turned out that he was participating in a secret mission of "brainwave original code", which reconstructed the incident and investigated the truth of the matter through images of the brain cells of the dead Kurt who had not yet completely died. In the end, Kurt succeeds in his mission, but he decides to return to the train once again to save the innocent lives on the train.

In the end, he saved the lives of those people, and his soul was reborn.

The meaning and sparkle of this "Source Code" is that the idea is strange and attractive, in other words, this "Source Code" is a time-traveling drama, or a rebirth, and this is what people love to fantasize about and love to do in today's society.

Solving the case and finding out the truth that human beings cannot find out is the true meaning of "Source Code", and it is also the direction that the scientific community should strive for.

Now Lin Feihong doesn't want to copy the "source code" of his previous life step by step, he needs to make adjustments, and it must be related to the Malaysia Airlines incident, so Lin Feihong intends to use the Malaysia Airlines incident as a basis, provided that the crash was caused by a terrorist attack, and not the accident caused by a plane failure as currently reported.

In fact, the meaning of this "Source Code" in the previous life is very clear, so the theme should not be changed, just change the scene of the accident to the plane, so that basically the filming process of the entire movie will be changed, and it will be completely different from the previous life, except for the same theme, everything else must be adjusted.

The script was finalized in this way, but there was a very serious problem, and that was the audience's reaction.

Malaysia Airlines is an unfortunate tragedy, will it attract opposition and resentment from those who have lost their families? Definitely, ** sound is unavoidable, but if you don't mention Malaysia Airlines, the plane is not related to Malaysia Airlines, then it is difficult for people to think of Malaysia Airlines accidents.

The whole film mentions the terrorist attack, after a terrorist attack, there will be other accidents, the protagonist is investigating the process to avoid this happening, if the audience sees this and thinks of Malaysia Airlines, they will think that if there is this equipment in reality, then Malaysia Airlines may be avoided, and people will get a kind of sustenance and comfort in the movie, rather than disgust.

This is the result of the reversal of cause and effect, and the cause and effect will change accordingly.

However, the most important thing to do this is to keep silent and not mention the matter of Malaysia Airlines, let alone let anyone know that it is because of Malaysia Airlines that they have the whim of "Source Code", otherwise the movie will hit the street and the abuse will be a big deal.

The less people know, the better, even if Wang Rong is her wife, she still doesn't want to know, she can keep her mouth shut, but after all, keeping a secret is a very difficult thing to do, and it is not so easy to hide the secret for a lifetime.

I already have an ulterior secret in my heart, and it doesn't matter if I have one more.

It's been a long time since I've read "Source Code", but now I turn it out to be familiar, lean back in my chair, and click on the playback system in my head

Nearly two hours just slid through his fingertips, rubbed his tired eyes, and was about to get up to pour a cup of tea and drink, but before he got up, a white hand holding a teacup appeared in front of him.

"Feihong, finally woke up, were you thinking of a new script just now, what does "Source Code" mean?"

Ding Xu smiled and looked at Lin Feihong with a teacup, as if he was more interested in Lin Feihong's new work than Lin Feihong himself.

Lin Feihong took the teacup, looked at Ding Xu suspiciously, and asked, "How do you know that the script I wrote is called 'source code'?" ”

"Didn't you write it on your computer?" Following the direction of Ding Xu's finger, he remembered that the computer was not turned off, and only the three big words 'source code' were written on the word document, fortunately there were only these three words, if what he thought just now was known by Ding Xu, then maybe this privacy would be told by her.

Seeing Lin Feihong staring blankly at the screen, Ding Xu sat beside him and said to Lin Feihong with concern: "An hour ago, Sister Wang Rong and I came to see you, but seeing that you were in a daze, Sister Rong said that you are thinking of a new script, she said that whenever you want to create, the most common thing you do is to look at the sky and meditate, Sister Rong told me not to disturb, saying that this is the time for your inspiration, and it turns out that the movies you have created are unique."

Sister Rong asked me to wait at the door and give you a cup of coffee to refresh you after you think about it, coffee is not good for hurting the body, so I made a cup of strong tea, you should be tired after thinking about it for so long, let's take a sip of tea first, look at the nervous look you just looked in the air, you must have encountered a bottleneck.

This creation is to consume brain power and hurt the nerves, hurry up and drink tea to refresh yourself, and feel sorry for you when you are in a daze. ”

Lin Feihong smiled, took a sip of tea and sighed, it seemed that he was really sleepy, and he started to create in the evening.

Ding Xu saw Lin Feihong take a sip of tea and walked out of the door without saying a word, so she also stood up and chased after her, "Feihong, where are you going, why don't you drink a few more sips of the tea I made for you." ”

Lin Feihong waved his hand and said without looking back: "No need, thank you, I'm going to squint for a while now." ”

"Okay, then you have a good rest, and I'll call you again when you eat!"

Feng Qingyang is also busy now, and he has compiled a lot of information, and he just finished counting the overseas release of "The Gift of Room No. 7" not long ago.

The repercussions of father's love abroad are no less than those in China, and the degree of popularity of "The Gift of Room No. 7" abroad is no worse than that of "The Shawshank Redemption", Lin Feihong is really right, foreigners will pay more attention to feelings and family affection.

798 million RMB! This is the total overseas box office of "The Gift of Room No. 7", so far this is the highest overseas box office since the development of the overseas market, since "Farewell My Concubine" has obtained more than 500 million and less than 600 million overseas box office, overseas projects have become more and more intense, and it is not very obvious when it comes to "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and the total box office is less than 600 million. In terms of the total box office, "The Gift of Room No. 7" will not be very high, and the total box office of "Farewell My Concubine" will also be more than 1.8 billion, and "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is a bit low, only more than 1.7 billion, and the total box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" is not as high as the total box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" released in China.

Of course, there is no comparable surname for this, since "The Gift of Room No. 7", the domestic film reform has been great, and high box office has become a norm, just like the rise in prices.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is the big guy, and it has only been released overseas for a month, and the total box office has exceeded 600 million yuan, and I believe it will soon surpass "The Gift of Room No. 7".

After counting these data and making a report, Feng Qingyang stood up from the chair lazily, walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, whenever he finished dealing with these data, Feng Qingyang felt that the whole head was a number except for the numbers, dizzy, if you don't send a little other information to your brain, I'm afraid this head should also move.

The weather is very good today, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and there are many beautiful women, but I can't see it clearly, it's too far away, and it's impossible to see the location of the sixteenth floor, so Feng Qingyang took out the binoculars from the drawer, which was also his office supplies.

When you get tired of watching beautiful women, you can look at the residents across the street, sometimes you can't see anything, and sometimes you can see one or two beautiful scenery, and the realistic version of hand-to-hand combat is definitely the most beautiful scenery

Lin Feihong has nothing else to do every day except writing scripts and wanting to divide shots, occasionally walking around the garden with Wang Rong and Ding Xu, taking a walk after dinner, there is no way to fight small things to play, now this kid doesn't stare at people, it's not a big eyeball, just turn here and there, sometimes stare at the ceiling, I don't know what he's thinking, what to watch, children are like this in infancy, they don't recognize anything, of course, there is no way to fight, you make hundreds of grimaces at him, funny actions, He is also expressionless, he won't even look at you, and he will play the piano to the cow! It's not interesting, it'll be fun when it's a little bigger.

Thinking about the cuteness of a child when he is older, Lin Feihong's heart is full of joy.

"What are you laughing at, what's so funny." Ding Xu was chatting happily with Wang Rong with a stroller, and suddenly saw the smile on Lin Feihong's face next to him, which was quite strange.

The smile on Lin Feihong's face was even stronger, and he looked at the little things in the stroller gently, and said: "It's fun to wait for this kid to grow up, alas, it's a pity that he is still young now, and he doesn't understand anything, the most important thing is that he is so small that I don't dare to hug him, especially his neck is very soft now, you have to carefully drag his head to hold it, you can't put it on your neck, the child doesn't have the ability to support his neck by himself, so it's easy to get hurt or grow up quickly, it's much better when he grows up." ”

Ding Xu smiled heartily and said to Lin Feihong: "You think the child is for you to play, most of you men are careless and don't hold the baby child, wait until you are older, and then let you hold it every day, I'm afraid you won't be free." ”

Lin Feihong sighed lightly, looked at a clear blue sky, and muttered: "No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your home, without a home, there is no meaning in living, life is decades in the world, live happily, life is wonderful, whether you have money or not, it is good to be happy, no matter how brilliant it is outside, no matter how beautiful it is, if you are alone, you must live very lonely, at least in the dead of night, you are alone on the top of the building looking at the night view of the city, at that time there is only cigarettes as a companion, only to talk to yourself, there are joys and sorrows, you can only talk to yourself." ”

After listening to Lin Feihong's emotion, Ding Xu and Wang Rong were stunned for a moment, Wang Rong walked to Lin Feihong's side, took Lin Feihong's arm and said softly: "What's wrong, why do you suddenly have this feeling?" ”

"It's okay, it's been a long time ago." I don't know how I suddenly remembered the embarrassment of being alone in my previous life, without a career, and my dreams were disappointed everywhere, maybe because the family I had longed for for a long time has now come true.

"The past has become the past, don't think about it anymore, live in the present, and look forward to the future." Ding Xu is always the happiest, and for the girl in front of him, who is both familiar and unfamiliar, Lin Feihong has an indescribable sin.

smiled at them very comfortably, and let them go back to the study after they had no idea of guessing, and finish writing the preliminary script as soon as possible after Leslie Cheung and others came back, there were still two weeks, they didn't come back so early, but two weeks later was their son's full moon, and the full moon wine must be done, these brothers naturally can't be absent, and they have been informed that they must be home on time in two weeks.

Two weeks is enough, if you want to design scenes and sub-shots, it is far from enough, but this has little to do with it, most of the shooting is improvised, and if you have a good idea, you can add it, and the sub-shots and scripts written now are just a rough idea, just like the outline of a book, it is a framework, and how to play it is decided when temporary inspiration bursts out.

After typing out the dialogue of a scene, the storyboard began.

There are relatively few scenes in "Source Code", according to their own design, there are almost only a few places such as airplanes, airports, offices, confined spaces, etc., and a scene outside the field needs to be set in a field not far from the airport, which is used as a place for terrorists to equip themselves, and their next target is the train station.

The scene in this is basically unchanged, the most important thing is the change of the plot, the dialogue between the characters, emotional expressions, etc. should be changed slightly, and the change of the first sentence will change the development of the entire plot.

To arrange such six similar plots, but this plot is not arranged randomly, there must be a sense of step-by-step, a feeling that the protagonist is getting closer and closer to success.

The first plot is set up as the protagonist doesn't understand anything, his identity suddenly changes, his eyes are strange, he is overwhelmed by everything, and then when he returns to reality, he knows the truth and knows that he is on a special mission.

With this premise in place, the second plot will be set in the situation of the protagonist, this time the protagonist knows the purpose of his coming to the plane.

This time there was no gain, to the third time there was an eyebrow, I knew where the root of the plane explosion was, it was caused by a bomb, but I didn't know how to dismantle, to the fourth time I entered the plane at the same time, I found the root cause because of the vibration of a mobile phone, dismantled a mobile phone, found the owner but found the wrong one, the plane finally exploded.

The fifth time I found the bomb again, found the detonated mobile phone, and then called the mobile phone to find the owner, this time I found the real owner, and I also knew the next target of the terrorists, but unfortunately the opponent ** so the mission failed again.

The sixth time the protagonist really knows the cause of the plane explosion, and the mission is completed, but the person in charge doesn't want him to enter the plane again, although the protagonist already knows the truth, but he fails at the fifth time so he can't save the innocent people on the plane, and the protagonist wants to go back to the plane again to save them.

In the end, the female police officer is moved by the protagonist and agrees to his request not to come back after he goes back, that is, to destroy his body, because he already knows that he is dead, and now only the soul is still conscious 'alive'.

This time, the protagonist goes back and changes the plane crash that had already occurred

The plot is arranged in such an order and logic, but how to set up a plot that is different for each scene is very annoying to Lin Feihong, and now the plot dialogue is only written until the protagonist knows the truth, and the plot of the next scene has not yet begun to be written.

There is a playback system in his brain to copy, but Lin Feihong is reluctant to do this, he wants to design it himself, now is not the time to rely on this system for everything, this is not what it used to be!

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, maybe you will have a sudden inspiration to set up a better plot during filming, just write down these basic logical sequences, since "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", most of them have been played on the spot, and now they are used to it, maybe better, Lin Feihong believes that he has this ability and confidence, because now is not as good as in the past, this time and that time.
