Chapter 102: Prelude to the decline of the greatest Olympic Games
But judging from the script, Liang Xiaolong has to admit that this is the worst of his many current movies, even "The Police and the Thief" is much better than it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The story of "Hip Hop Boy" is very simple, and if you put it in 2010, it would be a old-fashioned story: the main character, DJ Williams, wins a dance fight and deserves the prize money, but it leads to a fight, his brother dies tragically, and DJ, who is physically and mentally exhausted, decides to change his lifestyle and enroll in Truth University.
However, DJ always felt that the school environment was too restrictive, and the pain of losing his younger brother made it difficult for him to integrate into the new environment. But just when he thought that this was an environment that was completely contrary to his character, he unexpectedly discovered that the University of Truth was actually a world of "step dance".
Step-dance is a traditional dance that is practiced among black people living in the United States, and is performed through a combination of precise dance steps, hand beating, and foot movement. At Truth University, the traditional step dance tournament has been a major target for the various "fraternities", and when DJ inadvertently divulges his dancing talent in a club, it quickly catches the attention of two dominant and competitive fraternities, and they are vying to be recruited.
At the same time, the charm joke Ep. Riel also pays special attention to DJs, and also arouses the jealousy of Ap's boyfriend, school star stepper dancer Grant.
After DJ decided to return to the stage and join one of the fraternities, his kung fu hip-hop style brought a new twist to step dancing and made the competition increasingly fierce.
However, DJ's overly egotistic habits soon set a wedge between him and his new friends, and Grant set a trap for him to be expelled from the fraternity on the eve of the Stepper Championship. DJ is not only learning to put away his bad temper, but also to learn the redefined buddy righteousness that he learned in the fraternity.
The whole story revolves around the process of a young man's self-redemption, and the plot development is even a little naΓ―ve, and there are no bright spots. Especially in the final final, if there is a draw, the play-offs will be added, do the fights and dances have to be tied before continuing? In the previous life, because it was born later than "Singing and Dancing Youth" and "Dancing My Life", it was scolded by many people as a bloody plot, and there was nothing new.
Liang Xiaolong does not deny this: "Judging from the script, compared with "The Sun Like Me" and "Never Compromise", it is scum. But Annie, the appeal of a musical and dance film is its dance steps, not how appealing its plot is. It can be said that the success of this play no longer depends on my screenwriting ability, nor on your directing ability, but on your choreography ability. As long as you choreograph the choreography, it's a successful film. β
Anne couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How can I feel like I'm being cheated?" But aren't you afraid of being messed up by me? Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Take out the level of "Dancing with a Hundred Beasts" in "Black Fist", and the box office is absolutely guaranteed." Anne said: "Of course, I will make the choreography more perfect, but you have to find me an assistant director, otherwise I may not be able to handle the background and the camera properly." Liang Xiaolong said: "Don't worry, for the sake of the box office, I also have to ensure that nothing goes wrong." β
Anne asked again, "What about the actors?" I think there needs to be a star to call for the box office. Liang Xiaolong shook his head and said: "The step dance in the film is a traditional dance of black people, so I am going to use black people in this drama to the end." And in order to ensure the quality of the film, the actors have to be found from professional hip-hop teams, and as for the budget, you can talk to Carl, he is the producer. Anne said: "That's okay, I've found all the actors, I still have to rehearse for a while, and it is estimated that filming will start in half a month." Liang Xiaolong said: "Quality is the most important, don't worry about time." Saying that, Liang Xiaolong turned to Carl and said: "Man, in terms of the current environment, song and dance films can only be regarded as small stream films, and the publicity work must be done well, otherwise no matter how good the quality of the film is, the box office will collapse." β
Carl smiled: "Don't worry, I will make another heavy stroke on the Karl stream." Liang Xiaolong said: "Yes, I believe that it is best to be like "100% Man", the whole United States knows about the film before it starts." "I'll let all the young people know it's cool," Carr said. β
Song and dance films, especially films such as "Street Dance Boy" and "Dance My Life", are aimed at consumer groups mainly relying on young people, and if they can't capture the hearts of young people, then there will be no box office at all. Of course, there are also musical and dance films that are loved by the general public, such as "Chicago", the Oscar-winning picture.
When Liang Xiaolong returned to the set, Kayla also came back from Atlanta, and Wadmay was helping her with makeup, but the little girl's eyes rolled very dishonestly: "Uncle Xiaolong, Sister Rachel asked me to look at you and said don't let you go out and mess with flowers." Liang Xiaolong's heart instinctively suddenly, and then smiled: "A little fart girl, you still know how to mess with flowers?" The little girl said again: "Sister Rachel also said that someone is born a pervert, and it is not good if you are not optimistic." Liang Xiaolong glanced at her: "Adult's business, it's not your turn to worry about a little girl, prepare for filming, if you don't perform well, you will be punished for cooking at night." β
The little girl shouted again: "Miss Ben is such a genius, how can such a simple play be difficult for me." Liang Xiaolong said: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, what about Rachel?" When are you going to come back? The little girl said: "Tomorrow, but Uncle Xiaolong, on July 19th, there is an open-air concert in the Olympic Park, can we go to it?" Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "There are often open-air concerts, and when the film is finished, Uncle can hold a concert for you." The little girl began to pretend to be pitiful: "That's different, this is an open-air concert with the theme of the Olympics, with tens of thousands of people from all over the world participating, and some folk performances from various countries, which is interesting." Also, Sister Rachel also wanted to participate, but she was worried about affecting the shooting, so she didn't dare to tell you. β
Liang Xiaolong's heart couldn't help but move, if he could do more things that made Rachel happy, he could also make up for some guilt: "That's okay, but we have to hurry up, we will pass the day and come back the next day." The little girl snorted: "Eccentric guy, as soon as Sister Rachel said yes, there is no humanity on the opposite sex." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Then I won't go." The little girl hurriedly said: "Backtracking, no credit." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No matter what you say, you are reasonable, the current woman is difficult at a young age." Remember, don't tell Rachel about it yet, we'll surprise her when she returns. β
The little girl chuckled: "Then I want a confidentiality fee." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "I'll cook you a big meal in the evening." β
After painting the makeup, Andy put on stockings pitifully, and then put on a superman pose: "Why can't I fly?" Kayla laughed, "My dear cheap dad, do you want me to give you a pair of red panties?" Andy scolded with a smile: "Little girl, don't play hooligan, uncle's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of." β
"Don't make a fuss, Kayla, go to the door and get ready for filming." Liang Xiaolong shouted, "Brother Hua, no problem, right?" Andy made an OK gesture, and Liang Xiaolong said, "Then get ready, start shooting." β
Nick looked in the mirror and said with a little madness, "Honey, you just lost five pounds of meat. Then let out a hey laugh: "Where's my magic bra?" He looked down and said, "Where's the magic bra?" β
Liang Xiaolong immediately shouted: "Brother Hua, don't have this line?" Andy said embarrassedly: "I can't find a magic bra." Liang Xiaolong glanced at him: "Behind you, do it again." When Nick picked up the bra, Alice and her boyfriend Commy walked in and looked at him incredulously, "Oh my God, what are you doing?" Commy said, "Yo? β
Nick smirked, but after a long time, he quickly screened: "I know you, you must be..."Alice introduced, "He's my boyfriend, Commy, he's Nick." Commy shook hands with Nick, feeling worried, looking at the color of Nick's nails: "The color of the nail polish is good. Nick said, "Yes, I'm doing some experiments on work, and I want to know what women think." β
Then Commy said goodbye to Alice, there was originally a kiss scene, but the little girl didn't do it, Liang Xiaolong deleted it, and he also hated the kiss scene in his film, especially since he has always regarded Kayla as his sister, and he didn't want her to have a kiss scene in the film. Of course, this is nothing in the Western world, but as a somewhat old-fashioned Chinese, Liang Xiaolong has a hard time accepting this. In other words, it is difficult for Liang Xiaolong to draw a line between film and reality in this regard.
The next day, Rachel returned from Atlanta: "These days have been so exciting, I don't even want to come back. Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Then find a time to go again?" Rachel shook her head and said, "Delay any longer, do you want "100% Men" to be released on the Christmas schedule?" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Baby, it's only July, August is finished, and it will be released in September, not a day or two." I heard that on the 27th, there is a big open-air concert in the Olympic Park, why don't we go and have fun? β
Rachel's heart was sweet, and she hugged him with her arms around her: "It was Kayla's girl who said it, right?" Liang Xiaolong said: "It has nothing to do with that little girl, we still plan how crazy we are going to be on the night of the 27th." Rachel said: "This open-air concert will be divided into several stages, and many parts will allow the audience to go up and perform, or you will go up and shine your broken gong voice?" Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Okay, I don't dare to say that the earth is shocking, but I can also ensure that the art is overwhelming, so that everyone can escape from the Olympic Park like crazy." β
Rachel giggled, "That's it, you're going to have to sing for me at the concert." Liang Xiaolong's face immediately fell: "Baby, you won't take it seriously, right?" It's a shame for me to have a broken voice. Rachel said: "In "The Bride Is Not Me", Kimmy's voice is worse than yours, but for the sake of her lover, she can sing boldly, why can't you?" Liang Xiaolong said: "Okay, I'm out of the way." β
