Chapter 238: What Video to Take to Announce Your Arrival (II)

Among the kung fu films suitable for the international market, Wen Yi is undoubtedly the most impressive in Thailand's "Boxer" series. However, Wen Yi did not plan to shoot this series of films from the beginning.

The first part of "Boxing" is looking for a Buddha's head, and the second part is looking for an elephant. Whether it is a Buddha head or an elephant, when applied to the Chinese national arts, it is a bit nondescript.

The head of the Buddha, who is a Shaolin disciple, is probably not so idle. And elephants, naturally, are even worse. However, replacing the Buddha's head with other national treasures and replacing the elephant with a panda is estimated to be barely reasonable, but that is obviously not what Wen Yi wants. In his opinion, there are too many things that have a more protective meaning than those dead things, animals. It is also more acceptable to Western audiences.

Martial artist, keep fit. And the national sorcerer defends the country.

In this era, there may be no need for national skills to defend the country, what is needed is science and technology, economy, etc. But to protect the family and protect the relatives, it may not be useless.

Therefore, Wen Yi plans to start with this. Especially if you are looking for dead objects such as Buddhas and elephants, it is better to save your relatives.

Among the films that rescued his relatives, Wen Yi was undoubtedly most impressed by "Rescue by the Hurricane". The story of a retired agent's father rescuing his daughter is still very popular. Moreover, this film is quite good both at the box office and in terms of word-of-mouth.

Of course, Wen Yi did not plan to make this film, nor did he plan to borrow from his story model. Because the things that Wen Yi wants to highlight are different, the identity background of the protagonist is naturally different.

Retired agents can trace the past from across the ocean. According to the clues, his daughter was found. And rescued. This is also barely reasonable.

But Wenyi didn't want to set the protagonist as an agent. Even if it's not a retired agent. After all, an agent who is proficient in kung fu will definitely not be just kung fu, even if it is an agent of Huaxia.

Wen Yi wants to show the collision of national art and firearms, so the setting of the protagonist Wen Yi doesn't want him to be proficient in other killing skills other than kung fu.

Wen Yi only borrows from the emotions presented in this film. The father-daughter relationship is definitely a highlight of this film. Of course, Wen Yi can't make himself a big year father, so the feelings in his film will change. As for changing it to family affection, it is still love. Wen Yi was a little hesitant.

However, after thinking about it, Wen Yi smiled. Why can't you have both?

When writing a story, the general plot of the story is determined first, and then the details are slowly injected.

The story of Wen Yi's new film is not very complicated, because he knows that his film is not a complicated plot for fans, and he doesn't need fans to applaud the plot he designed.

He shoots kung fu films, not dramas. Therefore, he chose the consistent linear narrative technique of Hollywood action movies.

The protagonist will undoubtedly be a kung fu master. However, Wen Yi in order to show the current situation of martial arts practitioners. As well as the decline of Chinese kung fu and the reason why many kung fu were lost. The protagonist is set as a young man who is imprisoned for "manslaughter", or excessive defense. And his kung fu achievements are also in prison. Just like Guo Yunshen back then, wasn't his half-step collapse fist that fought all over the world practiced in prison?

The protagonist's name is Xiao Yi for the time being, and in order to protect his sister Xiao Yi, he accidentally beat the second ancestor who molested Xiao Yi to death and was imprisoned. In prison, he was successful in martial arts. This also paved the way for him to show strong combat power later.

Of course, there are not many scenes, just a few scenes. The real story began, but after Xiao Yi was released from prison. And the location where the story takes place is naturally set in Los Angeles.

Eight years later, Xiao Yi was released from prison, and it was not his sister Xiao Yi who came to pick him up, but Xiao Yi's American friend Adele (heroine).

Making the heroine a Westerner is naturally for the box office of North America and other places. After all, if the hero and heroine are both Chinese, they will inevitably be restricted at the box office. He's not going to make a Chinese-language movie! Because he is not arrogant enough to use a Chinese movie to announce his arrival to Hollywood!

Xiao Yi is now working in the United States and is an extremely famous reporter, and now he is investigating a matter and can't get out, so he entrusted his best friend to go back to China to pick up his brother from prison, and bring Xiao Yi to Los Angeles, USA, to reunite his brother and sister.

And when Xiao Yi and Adele arrived in Los Angeles, they didn't want Xiao Yi to have a car accident on the way to the airport, and now they are being rescued in the hospital, and their life and death are unknown. The two hurried to the hospital, and Xiaoyi still did not pass the dangerous period.

Naturally, it will not be a simple traffic accident, but a murder, and the reason for this is nothing more than that Xiao Yi knows something that he shouldn't know. After the other party learned that she was not dead, he sent someone to the hospital to assassinate her. However, he was bumped into by Xiao Yi and saved.

At this point, it is natural that a fight in the hospital and a street chase are indispensable. A film needs a small climax in the middle.

After that, Wen Yi got clues from the killer, and then according to the clues, he took the initiative to attack, and with the help of Huaxia boxers, he gradually discovered the reason for the matter. His sister was involved in a large-scale human trafficking case. Knowing something that shouldn't be known, the other party killed people!

The people who were trafficked were all Chinese.

Needless to say, the villain is none other than a Westerner. Of course, since the trafficked human beings are set to be Chinese, then there must be Chinese people who cooperate with the Westerners. Therefore, in this way, a lot of work can be incorporated into it. and arranged several Chinese actors to enter the film.

Even Wen Yi set the male number one Westerner as a Huaxia Tong. Not only proficient in Chinese language and culture. He is also proficient in Chinese Kung Fu.

The direction of the story has been determined, and the details need to be added. How is the brother and sister relationship between Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi reflected? Xiao Yi and Adele went from strangers to falling in love with each other, how this matter came naturally, without being very abrupt, or old-fashioned beauties who love heroes.

How to set the kung fu inside? How does the fight work?

Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi, and Baji will not let go of these boxing types Wenyi. Moreover, in the chase scene, Wen Yi naturally wanted to show parkour. It gives people the feeling of flying cornices and walking on the wall.

With ideas, write and change, and strive to be meticulous. Therefore, when "Resident Evil" was released in North America at the end of October, Wen Yi's script was just a rough idea, just to determine the direction of the story, and the personalities of the characters involved in it had a preliminary setting. As for the rest, it's just the beginning.

For more than a month, even the first draft has not been completed, and I have to say that Wen Yi is very attentive to this film. Of course, it is also because this film is original by Wen Yi.

However, in the past month or so, Wen Yi has not only written scripts, but also done other things. In addition to promoting "Resident Evil", Wen Yi also had to visit some Chinese boxers in Los Angeles. Of course, we also have to find a way to expand Jiayi's business into Hollywood.

The release of "Resident Evil" in Hollywood still attracted the attention of countless people, and Lin Yuyan and others also flew to the United States on the day of its release. And with them, there are many Chinese media.

As for what kind of results this film has achieved in North America, too many people have paid attention to it in China, which naturally attracts the arrival of domestic media.

"You two should be fine with English, right?" Wen Yi looked at Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang, and then said.

"Hehe, naturally no problem. Yu Yan grew up in the United States, don't you know this. I spent a few years in the United States with my father. Yuan Fang looked at Lin Yuyan, smiled, and said.

"Oh!" Wen Yi smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Miss Yuan should be able to gossip, right?" ”

"I've learned, but I've learned more about acting." Yuan Fang looked at Wen Yi, feeling inexplicably nervous. Wen Yi's next film will cooperate with Hollywood, and she naturally wants to have her own part.

Let's not talk about the cooperation between the film and Hollywood companies, how big the gimmick is and how much attention it gets. Wen Yi's new film alone is enough to make people rush to it, I don't know how many people sharpen their heads and drill into it!

"Just learn it. There are actually some similarities between acting and playing. Wen Yi nodded, and then said, "I will arrange for you to appear in the next film, but the heroine will definitely not play." I play the male lead, and in order to take care of the market in North America and other places, the heroine must be a Western face even if she is not a Hollywood actress. Co-production, although I am a director, there are some things that cannot be decided by one person. (To be continued......)
