Chapter 506: The Idea of a New Movie - Word of Mouth and Box Office Go Together
Chapter 506 The Idea of a New Movie - Word of Mouth and Box Office
League of Assassins has been in theaters for a while.
Zhou Shaoming was thinking about what kind of film he was going to shoot next.
Word of mouth.
Movies such as "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Untouchable", and "Dolphin Bay" have achieved a good reputation.
To the box office.
Films such as "League of Assassins" and "I Am Legend" brought in countless bills.
In the final analysis, Zhou Shaoming really doesn't have a movie with a particularly good reputation and a particularly good box office.
There was no movement in the system.
It seems that you have to think about the next movie for yourself.
Good word-of-mouth.
Good box office.
Zhou Shaoming really didn't have a clue for a while.
After all, generally speaking, those with a good reputation are the kind of movies that are biased towards literature and art, such as "A Beautiful Mind", "Untouchable" and other movies.
And the box office is generally good for action, sci-fi and other super blockbusters, and the scenes are hot and exciting popcorn movies, such as "League of Assassins", "The Lord of the Rings" and so on.
It is necessary not only to have a good box office, but also to have a good reputation.
Defined as an action class, then the quality is good.
In my mind, all of a sudden, a movie appeared.
That's Infernal Affairs.
is a very good movie, with a very good reputation, and it can even be said that it has saved Hong Kong movies.
Although the box office is not very good.
But if Zhou Shaoming wants to, he can also shoot this movie very hot.
worked the atmosphere and gunfight scenes of this movie, and the exquisite foreshadowing, thoughts, rhythm, etc. did not change.
Then "Infernal Affairs" will definitely become a very blockbuster and word-of-mouth movie.
It's a pity that "Infernal Affairs" has already been filmed.
Chen Yang's eyes froze.
Now that I think of "Infernal Affairs", naturally there are more movies in my mind, and my thinking has also expanded.
Hong Kong films are a great choice.
Hong Kong movies, especially gangster and gangster genre films, are so much better.
"Dark War", "The True Color of Heroes", "Bloody Heroes", "Infernal Affairs", "Black Gold" and a series of good movies.
However, more of these good movies were shot in the eighties and nineties. That is, it was produced in the golden age of Hong Kong films, and it will definitely not be able to be taken out now.
And in the Hong Kong movies shot later in 04.
What's the best thing to count?
Zhou Shaoming thought while smoking a cigar.
The names of Liang Jiahui, Zhang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun, and Tony Leung are spinning wildly in their minds.
These four can be said to be the best acting skills among Hong Kong actors, and they are also Zhou Shaoming's favorite actors in his last life.
"Detective"!
Right!
It's "Detective".
Zhou Shaoming was excited all of a sudden, this movie is so good, and it is also one of Zhou Shaoming's favorite movies.
There are not many movies that have shocked Zhou Shaoming a lot, but in addition to the shock on the scene, just talk about the plot.
The most shocking movies are "Shutter Island", "Fatal ID", "Detective", "Master Key" and "Deadly Magic".
And all of these films have one thing in common.
That is, the ending was unexpected.
"Detective" is the only Chinese-language film among these films.
It's just so good this movie.
Zhou Shaoming is still a little excited when he thinks about it now, and he can faintly remember all kinds of information and scenes on the Internet after watching this movie in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming excitedly quickly found the system. Find material for this film.
The first is about the plot of "Detective".
Inspector Ho Ka-on of the Serious Crime Unit was ordered to investigate the case for many months without progress, and Ho Ka-an decided to seek advice from his old boss, the retired Chen Guibin.
Chen Guibin is a genius in solving cases, and he has never been able to solve a case in his hands, and he was dismissed from his post many years ago because he cut off one of his ears to a retired superintendent of police and was found to be mentally ill.
Chen Guibin and his wife have lived a secluded life, and the appearance of He Jia'an allowed Chen Guibin's talents to be brought into play, and his sleeping heart was hot, but his wife understood that the world would only be a husband and a madman.
However, it turns out. The so-called wives are actually Chen Guibin's wishful thinking.
When Chen Guibin first contacted Gao Zhiwei, he believed that Wang Guozhu had been killed and Gao Zhiwei was the murderer, but the motive for the murder was yet to be investigated.
Ho questioned Mr. Chen's judgment. Chen Guibin said that he has the ability to "see" the dark side of people's hearts, as well as the "lost personality" of people due to mistakes.
Chen Guibin's method of handling the case is peculiar.
For example, they will return to the scene of the crime to play the role of the murderer and the victim to feel the mentality of both and try to find out the motive. The process of continuous violations and violations brought a lot of trouble to He Jia'an, and in the end, he didn't say a word and took away He Jia'an's investigation.
Chen Guibin finally found the truth in the woods that day. It was Gao Zhiwei who lost his gun during the mission, and his "ignorance" blindly grabbed Wang Guozhu's gun in a panic, and his "ferociousness" killed Wang Guozhu during the conflict, and his different levels of "greed" took Wang Guozhu's gun to rob and kill.
Just as Chen Guibin happily informed He Jia'an of the results, he actually saw He Jia'an's "weakness", and He Jia'an's confidence in Chen Guibin had been shaken, and he turned to Gao Zhiwei, believing in his "hypocrisy".
Chen Guibin knew that Gao Zhiwei's "ferocity" would definitely kill He Jia'an, and chose to risk his life to save He Jia'an, confirming who was the real murderer.
However, the ending was unexpected, and the seemingly weak He Jia'an hid another personality. It turns out that everything is just He Jia'an's means!
The plot of the whole movie can be said to be simple, that is, Gao Zhiwei is a bad guy and Detective is a good guy.
However, the film has too much flavor and foreshadowing.
In the end, He Jia'an's demonic nature shocked many people.
Even the gun change at the end set off a decryption frenzy on the Internet.
Chen Yang has his own views on the understanding of this movie.
Detectives don't have the wisdom or brains of a superfluous person.
The reason why he is a detective is all due to his eyes with special functions, which can see people's inner demons, his eyes are very accurate, and he has not missed a single look, so that when his old boss who has no demons in his life retires, he gave him his ears with admiration.
Detectives also have a lot of demons. The wife he saw was one of them, and in his mind, his wife was so perfect, caring for him everywhere, gentle and considerate to him.
The wife in reality is exactly the opposite of the wife in his mind, in the name of caring about his condition, in fact, he asked him how to solve the case, so when he saw his wife in reality, he didn't know it, which is not difficult to understand.
After burying the police alive intact. He saw the bad cop who was finding his way through the woods, which was also his own demon, and finally the detective pointed a gun at the bad cop and said, "Put down the gun, you will shoot and you will be no different from the others." ”
Then he said, "I am also a human being, why should I be different from other people." After shooting, the two sentences here indicate that he is talking to his own demons.
Another scene, after the detective drove and saw the good policeman's child's demons, he got out of the car to talk to him, and at this time, his wife shouted to him from behind: Leave this matter alone. Give him back the gun, he doesn't trust you anymore and will kill you.
This shows that in the detective's heart, he already knows that it will be dangerous for him to continue to take care of this matter. But he decided to manage it in order not to let the good policemen get into trouble, which is actually a part of the detective's own struggle with the demons.
As a result of the struggle, he chose to protect the police at his own risk.
The detective is contradictory, and it also reflects the problem of choice in reality. Right or wrong, just a thought, sometimes very helpless.
Everyone has demons in their hearts. Whether it's greed or lust, or cowardice, it's a kind of inner demon, and whenever something happens.
The contest between demons is one choice.
In addition to the detective, the image of He Jia'an's good policeman at the end gives people a sense of subversion.
Some people are angry and think that He Jiaan is a real villain.
However, in Zhou Shaoming's view, He Jia'an is more like a portrayal of most people in life.
The demons are produced slowly, there is too much helplessness and sorrow, and with the postponement of time, with more and more people working hard in the society, people are becoming more and more mature, the generation of demons is an inevitable phenomenon, maybe this is society.
Detective, not so much a detective movie, is more of an analysis of human nature.
Such a movie has to be said to be very deep, very connotative, and more worthy of thinking.
Many of the details and foreshadowing are very tasteful, especially when you see the end, it is even more enlightening.
The tragedy of the detective, the sorrow of He Jia'an, and the cruelty of reality
It's true.
Such a movie has written too many good people turning into bad people, and expressing too much helplessness.
Perhaps, as Mencius said, human beings are inherently good.
And after the big dyeing workshop of society, the demons gradually appeared.
After watching the detective, it gives people more to think, once, Zhou Shaoming didn't sleep all night after watching it, thinking about the plot in the movie, thinking about the demon in his heart.
A good movie will generate a lot of public noise, and it can stand the scrutiny of time.
"Detective" is a god script.
Once such a movie is shown, it will definitely win a good reputation.
But how do you win at the box office?
The action is a little more exciting, a few female figures are a little pretty, and then some gorgeous and colorful elements are added.
Chen Yang pondered.
The perfect script of "Detective" is constructed in my mind, and I am slowly thinking about what kind of design scene to design.
"Detective" is only more than 90 minutes, and there are many movies, and Zhou Shaoming must be lengthened, at least to two hours.
And the extra half hour, of course, has to be used for action scenes.
Especially the melee at the end, which can be emphatically described.
If the script, plot, and scenes can meet expectations, this movie will definitely be a big seller and achieve a good reputation.
Other than that, the film can be described as a one-man performance.
Liu Qingyun showed off his acting skills in this movie.
So if you want to shoot yourself, who is the male protagonist of this movie?
Who can take on this task? (To be continued......)
