May 25, 1987. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the office of Magic Shadow Entertainment, quietly, Chen Xiaotang wrote the script outline of the play "Superman: Man of Steel".
In the previous life, this movie was called Hollywood's "most original xing, breaking the original image of Superman"?
As the first naturally conceived life form on Krypton, Superman's biological father and mother sent it to Earth when he was born in order to protect this effective and precious life, so Superman concealed his identity until he was 33 years old under the care of his adoptive father and adoptive mother. "Superman: Man of Steel" tells the story of Superman's 33-year youthful past, and the inspirational thing is not only the "positive energy" temperament presented by the film as a whole, but also the fact that this is one? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/4354373/'>. The story of a man, an alien visitor who is finally respected, accepted, and affirmed in a foreign land and on a foreign planet.
Therefore, it can be said that "Superman: Man of Steel" is a story about growing up, no matter what kind of dilemmas and responsibilities Superman will face. At the end of the story, the protagonist earns respect in his own way and realizes his dreams.
"If Superman is true love for humanity, then what could be more motivating than winning true love?" A film critic said.
Another inspirational and shocking aspect of the film is the "S" interpretation of the first pair. Especially in "Superman: Man of Steel", Superman's father reveals the true meaning of the S on his chest to Superman for the first time. It does not represent "superman" as understood by many viewers, but rather hope. Meaning in Krypton, ?ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/4351721/'>. They will fall and get hurt, you will help them, you will guide them, you will give them hope, and that's what the sign is about. β
Therefore, in the film, a reporter from the Planet RI newspaper asked him: "What does the S on your chest represent?" Superman inherits his father's will: "On my planet, that represents hope." β
Furthermore. Superman's non-stop fighting spirit also inspired many viewers. As many media outlets have pointed out, the success of Superman: Man of Iron lies in the portrayal of the villain General Zod, a mad villain who is extremely destructive and will do whatever it takes to carry out ethnic cleansing to destroy humanity. In fact. At first, Superman never had an advantage in the confrontation with him, and he was almost unable to parry. But the good thing is that no matter how badly he is smashed, he can always get back up and continue to fight. At a critical time, Superman does not want to see the belief that the Earth is destroyed. The help of his father and the love of his adoptive mother have multiplied his fighting power. Win in the end.
After the film was released in the previous life, it won 160 million in one fell swoop in the first four days, and topped the weekly box office list in North America without suspense. From another point of view, "Superman: Man of Steel" is a blockbuster, at least the box office after it determines that it is a blockbuster, and the characteristic of a blockbuster is that it can be remembered. Even unforgettable!
Now that the summer vacation is coming, Chen Xiaotang is willing to take a big risk to shoot this drama, even if his idea is earth-shattering. Let everyone oppose it, and it will not hesitate. Because what I am pursuing this time is not the box office, but a kind of Jing God, called "Superman Jing God"!
Why does Superman have to? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/1439621/'>.red panties?
Can't you take it off?!
Why does S have to stand for Superman?
Isn't it hope?
Why does Superman have to wear glasses stupidly?
Can't you have a scruffy beard, it's very manly and manly?
Why does Superman have to be American?
Can't it be a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese?!
Just like Lin Qingxia said when she left, do what you think you should do, making movies is not necessarily just for the box office!
Chen Xiaotang worked hard to write the story structure of "Superman's Iron Body" in his mind.
The script of the movie is different from others, focusing on conciseness and coherence of the plot, etc. Generally speaking, a movie script has a lot of hundreds of dialogues, which is not as complicated as imagined, and the shooting is very compact.
The rustling of the pen nib of the manuscript paper swam like a melodious sound, jumping like musical notes, like a music score about to be released.
During this period, the fat man Wang Jing and the explosive head Jim and others came to him several times to discuss things, and some people asked him to sign the documents, but they were all blocked back by the loyal Ah Long and Ah Hu, the two left and right door gods, with only one sentence: "Boss, very busy!" β
As for what is "busy", everyone doesn't know, ask Ah Long and Ah Hu, and the two of them can't say one, two, three, in short, they just don't let people in. So some people speculate that the boss is still depressed, and he hasn't escaped from the rejection of his suggestion...... This person's self-esteem is too strong, and it's not a good thing!
Of course, many people wonder if Boss Chen is doing something, after all, although his self-esteem is strong, everyone unanimously disagrees with his adaptation of the play "Superman", which hurts his positive xing; On the contrary, those who know him know that if Chen Xiaotang is "male", something will happen......
At this time, everyone has their own ideas, and everyone who has nothing to do likes Chen Xiaotang's office door to wander twice, look twice, gossip twice, and then "wisely" tell the news that they have "inquired" in front of other colleagues.
"Although he has done a self-review at the public meeting, Boss Chen is still worried about the failure of the new version of "Superman", no, he locks the office and makes him emotional, I really hope that his old man can stand up straight and not lie down!"
"Dear Chen's mood is very bad, let everyone not disturb him, hey, it's not easy to be a successful man, you have to bear a lot of pressure! So, it's good to be a woman! β
"The boss has formulated a big counterattack for the summer vacation, this time he has to go all out and throw money into it, and it is said that he will personally hold a solo concert to tell the North American audience that Magic Shadow Entertainment is strong, and the theme is not bad money!"
"Oh, up! What are you talking nonsense, I heard that our dear Rafi has been practicing qigong in hiding in the house recently, do you understand qigong? Chinese magical kung fu, from the Shaolin Temple! One shot, even our Los Angeles Bridge will collapse........."
All sorts of gossip spread. made some people who understand, such as the fat man Wang Jing, the explosive head Jim and others laugh at it.
The fat man quipped: "Ah Tang if he locks himself in for a few more days." It may be rumored to be pregnant in October! β
It is in this environment, with the turn of the clock, that Chen Xiaotang finally completed his super blockbuster that dared to defy the world's condemnation and innovation.
"Alright, it's finally done!" At noon, Chen Xiaotang shook his sour hands, and couldn't help but get a little excited and muttered: "Warner, Warner, it's not that I have to shoot "Superman" and fight you in the ring. It's a last resort! β
Oh, yes! With the title of "genius" on his head, he is crisscrossing the Asian film industry, and he is still shining in Hollywood. Now that he is questioned about his weak strength, an Oscar, and even more trampled under the feet of a larger film company, if he can't let Magic Entertainment develop as fast as it did in Asia. What face does he Chen Xiaotang have at all?!
"It doesn't matter if you say I'm crazy. Or maybe I'm bold! In short, I, Chen, am now going to persevere to the end! Chen Xiaotang thought so in his heart, so he rang the bell, let people in, and ordered: "Pack this document and send it to the conference room, and at the same time call Director Wang and others for a meeting!" β
Yes, this time he is no longer just giving advice, but using the script to convince those friends and tell them. "Superman" can also be filmed like this!
Inside the office, there weren't many people attending the meeting this time. There are only the fat man Wang Jing, the explosive head Jim, and the newly promoted "glasses man" Joseph and the "black fat man" Andrew.
When Chen Xiaotang walked into the office, the fat man Wang Jingzheng made a bet with Jim, the explosive head, they bet that Chen Xiaotang was going to make a trick this time, and the proposal of the new "Superman" was passed by them, and now they had to come up with a trick to save the world.
Seeing Chen Xiaotang come in, the two politely got up to say hello, Chen Xiaotang nodded at them, didn't say much nonsense, and directly took out the prepared script and said: "This is a set of script outlines I wrote last night, how about you circulate it and see it?" After he finished speaking, he handed the notebook to Joseph, the "glasses man" who stretched out his hand first, and the fat man Wang Jing and the explosive head Jim kept swallowing saliva, saying in their hearts, I don't know what the new play is, but Chen's script has always been great, no matter who is the director, he must gain fame and fortune.
As for Andrew, the black fat man, he is very curious, after all, the other three are either directors or playwrights, and they are in charge of the company's film distribution, which seems ...... Could it be that the boss has made some big moves?!
The fat man Wang Jing saw Joseph's eyes glowing when he looked at the script, and he couldn't help asking: "Ah Tang, are you going to start filming this drama, so what is the name of this book?" β
"Superman: Man of Steel!" Chen Xiaotang said with some seriousness.
"What?!" The fat man and others were shocked, didn't this drama get passed, why did it come back?!
Ignoring the gods of the fat man and others, Chen Xiaotang continued: "I personally think this book is very good, and the main thing is that its plot is very, if it is filmed well, our group can lead a chΓ‘o stream!" β
The fat man was almost speechless.
What chΓ‘o flow?
Don't let Superman's underwear wear outside, it's not your own death, and chΓ‘o is a fart!
Explosive head Jim, yes, Superman can't let you play the boss, at least it's an American, and a black person like himself can't!
Josephine read the script with relish. For him, all the actor choices are empty, and the most important thing is that the script is good. With a good script, you can be all-inclusive.
Andrew, a fat black man, began to make calculations. I heard that the boss wanted to shoot "Superman", but because the changes were too big, he was vetoed by everyone in the company. This time, the boss actually wrote the script directly, and called a meeting of the four of them, what does this mean? It shows that he is going to take drastic measures to remove all obstacles and start filming this drama. I have just taken the position of head of Fox's distribution department, should I support it or oppose it?!
"Ah Tang, do you really want to start filming this drama? What about the content, have you changed it? Who is the main actor, are you sure? The fat man Wang Jing also seemed to see Chen Xiaotang's decision, but he couldn't help but ask.
"The script is the story I once told you, and as for the starring role, it's still me!"
Clinches!
Chen Xiaotang bluntly stated today's theme, in a word, I want to be the Chinese version of Superman who "wears underwear inside"!
"Chen, now Warner's "Superman 4" is also starting filming. We're going to crash and depending on what you do, we might be smashed to pieces! Explosive head Jim worried.
But he didn't wait for Chen Xiaotang to answer.
This way. Joseph, the "man with glasses", who quickly read the script, exhaled, and then said, "Boss, this script is simply amazing!" Play excited~emotional, play subversive, very sensational, very sΔo~ package, and very creative! The main thing is: This time the supertalent is like a person! β
"Especially the interpretation of family affection and love, as well as responsibility and hope, is so great. Even being a superman has done so deeply, if you don't abandon or give up, the more power you have. With great responsibility. That's our hero, Superman! β
Sycophants, something!
The fat man and the others gave the glasses man a blank look.
It looks like a cultural person, but I didn't expect to be so ruddered!
Actually, they misunderstood Joseph.
The reason why Joseph praised Chen Xiaotang's script so much was definitely because the script was well written. Of course, Chen Xiaotang, as the boss who provided him with the opportunity, was inevitably grateful in his heart, but in Joseph's opinion. The boss has a natural talent for screenwriting, and that's definitely no doubt. That's why he admires such a five-body throw. Say so many words of praise.
Chen Xiaotang saw that everyone's expressions were different, but asked Andrew, a black fat man who had been silent, with a smile, "What do you think?" β
Andrew, who looked honest, glanced at everyone, and then said with a very serious expression: "In my opinion, the main thing is not how great the superman of this play is, but how great the screenwriter who created this play is!" Looking at Hollywood, in addition to a lot of excellent science fiction movies, such as "Star Wars", "Terminator", "Blade Runner", etc., other science fiction films are either too superficial, or they are moaning without disease~ groaning, just like a Trojan horse that can't stand scrutiny...... But just now I was shocked as soon as I saw the script of "Superman's Iron Body", what is this, where is this script, it is obviously a heroic epic that is about to be passed on to a classic! β
"Although it is short, it is strong, although it is simple in words, but it is rich in content, although it has just been baked, it brings the aroma of cellaring, it is like a bottle of fine wine, moistening my withered heart, it is like a gust of wind, soothing my empty heroic fantasies! Oh, it's your dog skin plaster that can cure all diseases in China, and it's the poppy ~ poppy morphine that we in the United States can relieve pain! I've never liked sycophants and don't know how to pat sycophants, but I'll say here that this script is really good! β
"Boss, your adaptation is just right! Who says Superman has to wear panties? Who says Superman can't be Chinese? As long as he's a hero and can save the world, what's wrong with being black?! So, boss, your talent is like the red sun in the east, shining brightly! The depth of your creation is like the Mariana Trench, unfathomable! My admiration for you is as unbreakable as a pyramid and as impregnable as the Great Wall! Anyway, I want to praise you, really, I don't brag about ......! β
Bang bang, people faint!
This Andrew, it's just jing!
Although Chen Xiaotang thinks that his skin is thicker than that of an African rhinoceros, his old face is still slightly red in the face of Andrew's praise, and he said: "Okay, leave such praise until this play is successful, and it's useless to say more!" β
"The boss is wise, the boss is modest and cautious, and even our role model!" Andrew's perseverance? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/1764502/'>.
However, Andrew didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a sneer: "By the way, boss, such a creative movie, do you want to promote it first in terms of distribution?" Give the audience a big vaccination, new things appear, there is always a need to run in, in case some audiences are too poor in acceptance, what suggestions do we have for our play, we can also react in advance, can't we? β
As soon as these words came out, everyone had to look up at the black fat man, thinking that he was just a sycophant, but they didn't expect that he was playing this trick around the bush.
The fat man Wang Jing also knew that it was impossible to stop Chen Xiaotang from filming this film, since this is the case, just support him and minimize his dedication.
So the fat man Wang Jing said: "Director Andrew is right, since this drama is going to be filmed and released, we can do a little publicity in this first phase of the process, let's use those new ideas as gimmicks, no longer Superman who wears underwear, Superman is also a human, Superman may also be black and Chinese......"
"I agree with the above two people, if this drama wants to do well at the box office, it must be surprisingly successful!" Explosive head Jim said that there was actually one sentence he didn't say, that is, "Even if the reputation is not good, it is a bad movie, and the audience must be coaxed into the cinema!" β
Chen Xiaotang seemed to have guessed that the big guy would say this, and nodded, "Since everyone agrees, let's start......."
"Please wait, I have a question, who will shoot this drama?" The fat man Wang Jing hurriedly said.
yes, who's going to be the director?
Judging from the current situation, this "Superman" is simply subverting the existence of Xing, who smashes whose signboard, imagine the many film companies under Magic Shadow Entertainment, who dares to take it? !
The reason why the fat man asked this question is that he has already reported the righteous and heroic thoughts, if no one is really willing to stand up and shoot this drama, he Wang Fat Man will not hesitate, alas, who let himself and Ah Tang be dead friends!
Other people also seem to see Wang Fatzi's thoughts, and admiration arises spontaneously, look, this is an iron buddy, and he is not afraid to smash the signboard!
Facing the fat man's question, Chen Xiaotang smiled indifferently, "Actually, I already have a candidate......
"Who?!" Everyone was curious.
The corners of Chen Xiaotang's mouth curled, and he said a name, "Lucas!" (To be continued.) )
