Chapter Eighty-Six: The Three Kingdoms

Liang Xiaolong has always been vague about the shooting plan, just like Anne proposed to make a kung fu dance film, he thought about adapting a film. But Rachel's request was stumped for him, he has watched hundreds of films, many of which have been studied in depth, the shrewd and capable, dark and weird, sunny and cheerful heroine grabs a handful, but the stupid big sister who is straightforward and fast-talking, and her mouth is not closed for a while, but she can't imagine it.

"Do you really want to sleep in the living room at night?" The more he thought about it, the more itchy Liang Xiaolong's heart became, at the moment of beauty, he actually slept in the living room, isn't this sick? Thinking of this, he immediately pretended to be excited and ran to knock on the door: "Baby, I have an idea, open the door quickly, and I'll tell you." Rachel said, "Then you still talk outside, and then come in when you're done." Liang Xiaolong's face turned bitter: "Baby, a story is so long, you don't want me to stand outside for a few hours, do you?" There are also some details that we need to discuss so that we can write a character that you are happy with, right? ”

The door opened, and Rachel said, "Let's talk about it." Liang Xiaolong smiled, hugged the jade man and kissed it: "The beautiful scenery of the good day, the beauty of the moment, what kind of broken stories are you telling, you should do what you should do." Rachel struggled for a moment: "You stinky rascal, you know how to play bad." Liang Xiaolong said: "Men are not bad, women are not loved, baby, don't you like this taste?" Rachel pinched his waist and said, "Yo, you know the hearts of women, don't you know how many women's hearts you have deceived?" ”

"Understand a woman's heart?" Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly, and then the whole person was stunned: "Women's hearts, I know women's hearts, men are 100%, they sell cakes, it turns out that this is how the inspiration came, baby you are amazing, you inspired me." Rachel wondered, "Tell me, what kind of story is it?" ”

Liang Xiaolong remembers very well that after watching Andy's "I Know a Woman's Heart" in 2010, he thought it was a very interesting film, and at that time he thought that China's level of editing had improved, and he actually wrote such a novel script. But after checking on the Internet, he found that it was not the case at all, "I Know a Woman's Heart" is adapted from the Hollywood classic film "Man 100%", for which China Film also paid a large amount of copyright fees.

Liang Xiaolong also watched "I Know a Woman's Heart" and "A Man 100%" several times because of this, although there have been a lot of changes, but the main body has not changed at all, it is about the psychological changes caused by a big man with excessive hormone secretion after obtaining the special function of being able to hear a woman's heart. Liang Xiaolong has compared the two films, not to mention who is good and who is bad, "100% Man" is certainly more suitable for the American national conditions, and "I Know the Heart of a Woman" is more suitable for China's national conditions, both of which are very classic films.

If you have to divide the two films, it can only compete from a local point of view, for example, in terms of performance, "Man 100%" is even better, Mel Gibson (also the actor of "Braveheart") portrays Nick as a big man with a strong charm like a nuclear power plant leak, in comparison, Andy is a little man, but Andy's very friendly smile also makes up for this shortcoming. Speaking of the heroine, Helen Hunt has a rare trait of a female surname - straightforwardness, in contrast, Gong Li is not frank enough and cannot show the beauty of straightforwardness.

In addition, "100% Man" is more comedic, and the whole process is more relaxed and freehand. and "I Know a Woman's Heart" depicts more collisions in the workplace.

However, "I Know a Woman's Heart" is more delicate in the handling of emotions, whether it is in love or family affection, it is very delicate, while "Man 100%" is a little abrupt, such as the love of the hero and heroine, which feels more like love at first sight, while in "I Know Women" depicts their conflicts in their careers, and then constantly understand each other through their careers and fall in love with each other. There is also Erin (an inconspicuous female employee of the company), in "100% of Men", she actually wanted to commit suicide because she was inconspicuous, who would commit suicide because she was ordinary?

Thinking of this plot, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help laughing, he remembered a bug in the film very clearly, the original director Nancy Meyers added some Chinese elements when shooting the film, and put Erin's residence in Chinatown, and the furnishings in the house were all old Chinese furniture from the last century, and there was a line of Chinese characters on the wall. At that time, Liang Xiaolong's eyes widened, wanting to see whether this line of Chinese characters would be a quotation from a great man, or a certain slogan.

But the facts made Liang Xiaolong laugh wildly, and only the first two words could be seen in the film - dentistry. Who would hang the word "dentistry" in their room? Of course, a loophole like this can't be counted as a loophole, and director Nancy Meyers is an American after all, and he doesn't understand Chinese characters, so it's normal to miss this line of words. Of course, if Liang Xiaolong wants to shoot this film, there must be no similar font, otherwise he will be laughed at by the Chinese people for being uneducated.

Liang Xiaolong told the story roughly, but he didn't think about what kind of film he wanted to make, even if he wanted to adapt it, he had to change it more calmly and objectively, so as not to pursue perfection everywhere like "Black Fist", and as a result, the priorities were not clear enough: "Baby, why don't we rehearse it, let me see your acting ability, can you play the role of Darcy?" Rachel snorted: "Look down on me, you design the scene, sister opens your eyes." Liang Xiaolong said: "Okay, now you are Duoyi, I am Nick, I should have been promoted to the position of president, because you came and robbed me of my position, I made it clear that the carriage and horses were going to destroy you, you didn't care much, you can say whatever you want." Rachel said, "What about the lines?" How can I perform without lines? With emoticons? ”

Liang Xiaolong said: "I don't have a script, so what lines do you know, you play by yourself, I don't give you any constraints, if you don't perform well, I'm going to beat your little ass." Rachel said: "Just according to the story you said, I just introduced myself as soon as I took office." Liang Xiaolong said: "Cheng, you can do it yourself." ”

Rachel thought carefully for a while and showed a straightforward smile: "In the new era, female surnames are the mainstream consumers, and the annual advertising share of this piece is as high as 10 billion US dollars." As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, our company's turnover in this area is zero, but when I come, I will lead everyone to take this step and eat this big cake." Liang Xiaolong said: "Stop, it's not straightforward enough, baby, you should be sharper." Rachel snorted, "No, my performance is great, you're deliberately finding fault." ”

Liang Xiaolong said happily: "Baby, I am the director, the director is the soul of the crew, you have to listen to me." Rachel snorted, "You're still my man." Liang Xiaolong said: "Men are women's heaven, so you should listen to me even more." Rachel scolded and pounced: "I want to see who is the sky in our family." ”

At work, whether it is "Black Fist" or "Tornado", the box office is relatively stable, but on the weekend, the number of moviegoers began to increase wildly, and finally "Tornado" topped the list with a high box office of 53 million. "Black Fist" was a little worse than "Tornado", with one day less, but it also won $42 million and won the runner-up spot.

The production cost of $12 million, the box office of $42 million in the first week, such an achievement is simply legendary, not only the major media are exclaiming, fans who have seen the film are also addicted, and various opinions have also appeared on major film review networks, a considerable number of them think: "The film is flawed, too much foreshadowing? Shit! "Black Fist" is a perfect work, every minute can bring a strong visual impact, can make your blood swell, such a work is not perfect enough? Suffice it to say that it is a classic, an action movie classic that cannot be surpassed. ”

The people who can say these words are generally die-hard fans of Liang Xiaolong, Wu Jing and Jessica, or fans with more popular appreciation ability, their requirements for the film are generally not too high, as long as the film can bring them satisfaction, it is a good film. If you are a senior movie fan, you will look at the problem more comprehensively, such as the treatment of the special effects of the film, the repercussions of the subject matter to the society, and the handling of details...... As long as they think it's a good film, they will study it repeatedly, and one of the veteran fans wrote on the film review network: "The captain has only known two films so far, but I have to say that his directing ability has improved a lot." "The Cops and the Thieves" can make people dizzy and laugh, but it is just a film with empty content, and after watching and laughing, it will not move us. But "Black Fist" tells us that the captain's directing ability has improved a lot, even if it is not comparable to Hollywood's first-line directors, but it is close, why do you say that? ”

"Black boxing, underground black boxing, was originally supposed to be a very dark subject, but under the portrayal of the captain, the vulgar gore is gone, and it has become a tool for people to self-understand and break through. In addition, the spirit of kung fu portrayed in the film is also a very great spirit, practicing martial arts is to strengthen your body, exercise your spirit, and let you have the courage to get out of the predicament, not to let you have fists to make profits. In reality, although we will not fight black boxing, we can inherit this spirit, firm beliefs, and not lose ourselves, only in this way can we gain insight into the opponent, and your life path will be longer and more exciting. ”

There are a lot of good reviews, and there are a lot of bad reviews, no one can make everyone like it, and there is no film that can make everyone like it, and there are not a few people who shout dad and scold their mothers, especially martial arts lovers of other genres, while applauding wildly in the cinema, they start scolding wildly on the movie review network when they get home, and they get the double enjoyment of watching and scolding.

5.22, "Mission Impossible" was released, and the box office list in the new week will present a situation of three heroes competing for hegemony, but Liang Xiaolong didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to it, and was being forced by Rachel to work hard at home to make the script, and when the script of the original "Man 100%" came out, Rachel frowned: "Honey, are you still not my man?" Only arranged so few scenes for me? ”

ps: Two watches, the training class is too tired, I stayed up late yesterday, I can't stand it, go to sleep.
