Chapter 811: The Mountain Eagle's Superhero Plan
Now that Duke is the pillar of Warner Bros., I believe that not only no one in Hollywood opposes it, but people within Warner Bros. will also raise their hands in favor. The editorial department of Warner Bros. attached great importance to the synopsis of the story forwarded by the Philippines, and while Duke was busy continuing filming, they specially dispatched manpower to conduct relevant research and discuss the feasibility of making it into a movie.

As for Duke's remarks about the transfer to China Film Group, Warner Bros. naturally put it on the back burner, and if the project can bring significant benefits, they believe that Duke will not object to Warner's interception of these documents.
It can be said that Warner Bros. attaches great importance to this seemingly unfamiliar thing, which is after all a director like Duke who has made people solemnly pass it on, not something inexplicable written by someone who thinks he is talented but has never proven himself in the market.
However, after several weeks of research and discussion, the Warner Bros. people determined that the document had some value, but not much significance to Warner Bros.
They asked Warner Greater China to conduct a relevant survey, and the document mentioned that although the characters are well-known in China, few people know that Hollywood is taking an international route, and it makes no sense to only make movies specifically for the Chinese market.
In view of this situation, Warner Bros. forwarded the documents to Warner Greater China, and the cooperation between Warner and China Film Group has brought countless benefits, and Warner Bros. also wants to use it to bring the two sides closer together.
This document was solemnly handed over to China Film Group by Phil, the general manager of Warner Greater China. Rosenberg forwarded some ideas about Chinese films, and the people of China Film Group did not dare to slack off, and sent them to the mountain carving as soon as possible.
In the spacious office, the mountain carving opened the document and read it carefully.
In recent years. As the fact that he is about to retire continues to circulate in the circle, all kinds of rumors that are not good for him begin to float around the Internet and the film circle, but the mountain carving doesn't care. Many of the words in it are true, yet in this country. If you want to do something practical, how can you not act like this?
He has given Chinese films all his life, and has also vigorously promoted the reform of Chinese films, believing that he is worthy of the Chinese film industry.
Although he is about to retire, he still wants to do something for Chinese films.
After reading this document, the mountain carving sighed softly, the characters in it are well-known in China, as long as they are properly adapted. There is absolutely no shortage of audiences, and if these characters are really brought together, I believe that a large number of audiences will buy it, and it is even possible to create the glory of Chinese super blockbusters.
However, as someone who knows the industry very well, Zashan Diao knows that it is not realistic to shoot Chinese superhero movies.
In fact, there has long been such a call on the Internet, Chinese superheroes are no less or worse than Lao Mei, and they also have a wide mass base, but when it is filmed in modern society, everyone knows that this is just delusion.
The mountain carving has also seen a lot of related posts on the Internet. But I don't agree with the above views.
Some people say that superheroes worship extreme individual heroism and symbolize rebellion against government power. It is easy to make taboos and make the leaders uncomfortable to watch.
This reason is a bit on the line, if it is really so taboo, the first one to win is Sun Monkey, and the movement of people making trouble in the heavenly palace is no smaller than any superhero.
Some people also say that Chinese movies are all knockoffs, and neither imagination nor technical strength is enough to make blockbusters.
This reason is not right, the mountain carving is not right, the technology is not enough. Can you throw money at the Hollywood team, and he and all the people of Warner Bros. and Hollywood's finest special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, Duke? Rosenberg had a lot of dealings. I know that those are people who put interests first, as long as they are willing to spend money. They don't care where the business comes from.
There are also people who talk about the main theme, but in the view of the mountain carving, this reason is not very sufficient.
The main theme or something, and science fiction, superheroes are not contradictory at all - in fact, American superhero films are the main theme films of the United States, and there is no shortage of practical significance and positive significance, and even can adapt to the current situation, science fiction and superheroes are just forms, and any theme can be fitted, and the two are not mutually exclusive.
Although he vetoed these reasons in his heart, Zashan Diao knew very well that these things did not have much meaning for Chinese films at this stage, so he pressed the intercom to call the secretary and asked the other party to temporarily seal these things.
After the secretary left, the mountain carving knocked lightly on the table, as a veteran Chinese filmmaker, he said that he didn't want to see Chinese movies take off and kill the whole world like Hollywood movies, it must be fake.
Even, in his mind, on the basis of the documents he had just seen, he made some cinematic necessary additions.
In order to make these movies closely related to modern society, you must prepare in advance and design a superhero who is in line with the main theme and is positive - for example, he lives in a five-good family in the capital, he is a newcomer to the four, he loves the city, supports the government, and the story tells the story of how he thwarted the terrorists' supermonsters and saved the entire capital. In order to cope with the current situation, this superhero also has the excellent qualities of virtue, tolerance, patriotism, and innovation.
Just thinking of this, the mountain eagle shook his head and let out a long sigh, "I can't shoot!" ā
If there are superheroes, there are terrorists and monsters, then there must be fights. If there is a fight, it must be earth-shattering, or the audience will definitely not buy it.
Once the fight rises to earth-shattering proportions, a series of corresponding problems arise.
In American movies, they often smash their home in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles and landmarks; Not to mention Japan, Tokyo has been destroyed more times than the capital here has been hit by sandstorms.
Therefore, this kind of destructive action scene is not realistic in China at all, let alone big scissors and other departments, China Film Group alone can't pass this level.
For example, the backdrop of a duel between superheroes and evil forces is placed in the square in front of the palace.
Before the start of the fight, the director and crew had to face the question: Is it okay to knock down a monument to a hero?
Does this need to be asked? Definitely not, it was to commemorate the martyrs during the Revolutionary War, if the crew brought it down, what political implications would the film be made? Would it be okay to smash a corner of the General Assembly Hall where some people are meeting? No, that's where the representatives of the people of the whole country meet, what if a representative of the people stands up and protests that this is not serious?
Not to mention a certain memorial, it is blasphemy to move a finger, and it will be infinitely blocked by big scissors.
Thinking of this, the mountain carving gave up the most famous building in the city, and changed to a place with less political significance, such as near the International Trade Center, where superheroes and evil forces fought against the background of the International Trade Building, and the scope was strictly limited to the area from Dawang Road in the east to Yong'anli in the west.
But after thinking for less than five seconds, the mountain eagle still shook his head.
There are still many problems in doing so, and smashing such an important CBD in Beijing into ruins will it discredit the achievements of urban construction? Saying that movies are just fiction, what if someone takes it seriously? Will the merchants protest? Besides, it's been several years since the fire in the annex building of a certain TV station, and the responsibility has been figured out, what do you want to insinuate when you want to put it on the screen now? Is it questioning the findings of the relevant authorities?
And what about moving the place of the battle out of the city? The wilderness is definitely not good, although the mountain carving has reached the age of retirement, but there is enough understanding of the audience's viewing psychology, if the background of this kind of film is placed in a place unfamiliar to the audience, the sense of substitution is definitely not strong, so choose some famous places.
How about putting it on the Badaling Great Wall? It's far from the city, it's safer, but it's still zero viability.
The Great Wall represents the image of the country, and the protagonist or villain of the film smashes it into two sections with one punch, which is not very good-looking.
Even if the movie doesn't have the heart of insinuation, it can't resist the misreading of those audiences with ulterior motives? If anyone just takes a screenshot of this picture and puts it on the Internet, and adds a line of words, how is the country, the social impact will be very bad, and it will be difficult to recover.
Also, the movie says that the villain is a monster sent by terrorists, so where did this terrorist come from? The United States, Europe, and Russia are not good, and they are prone to diplomatic disputes, and the Middle East is even worse, and it is easier to cause trouble. Those organizations that are all unique and have no merit are indeed villains, but the state doesn't let them mention it, your movie is enough to drink a pot of sensitive words just - what? A fictitious terrorist organization? You don't have enough, huh? Why do you keep causing chaos in the country?
Also, there are problems with the ending of this type of movie.
"Monsters are wreaking havoc in Sijiu City, everyone is helpless, and at the last moment, a superhero appears to save the city."
Just after muttering this, the mountain eagle immediately realized the problem, this "everyone" also includes the public security police and the armed police? Monsters are wantonly disrupting social order, such a big thing, but the police are helpless, and they have to rely on superheroes to save it, does this make people feel that they are degrading the image of certain departments?
Maybe you could change the script so that superheroes and cops team up to defeat villains - like Duke? As Rosenberg filmed in "Transformers", he had the Autobots fight together with the U.S. military.
But the mountain carving still shook its head, the feasibility is too low, if it is set like this, then who listens to whom? Is it the superhero who listens to the police, or the police who listen to the superhero? Is there a competent authority for this superhero? Maybe it can be set that the real identity of the protagonist is originally a policeman, usually on duty, and he only turned into a superhero when something happened, so it shouldn't be, how can this kind of thing be hidden from the organization?
When the simulation was deduced here, the mountain eagle suddenly became excited, stood up and made a cup of tea for himself, and didn't bother to think about it anymore. (To be continued.) )
