Chapter 119: A Brain-Blowing Script
As far as Miyamoto's own experience is concerned, it is really like a novel...... Born in a regular professional class, but there is no future, so he can only make that kind of film for the underworld control company, and then he was suddenly valued by a powerful regular company, and became the director of the TV series, and shot out a popular TV series, and then was sent by the company to a well-known director to study, and after coming back, he could shoot his own movie. Miyamoto's experience in such a short period of time made him both excited and a little hesitant. In his mind, there is both a certain affirmation of reality and an insecurity about the existing reality, which comes too easily and does not seem to be very real.
So these two kinds of love are brewing in his heart, fighting each other, but the TV series and movies he has filmed and experienced during this time are very peculiar: "My Sister's Boyfriend" is not so much an ethical romance film, but it is a rhapsody of a middle two teenager, in which the protagonist's experience, the family background is not at all what normal people have, and the protagonist's own bold pursuit of behavior is not the usual behavior of the Japanese, the Japanese themselves have always followed the rules but just like this kind of person. "Battle Royale" is completely a film that expands the coldness of interpersonal relationships to the whole country and then pushes it to the extreme, and it can no longer be described with a big brain, but after such an absurd plot is reasonably expressed in the form of a movie, for those who watch the movie, once they accept this setting, it is indescribably shocking. Not to mention the film of "Big Guy", which is the law of the jungle in the underworld.
So Miyamoto's experience is a very peculiar model, and his emptiness and hesitation due to reality are unexpectedly filled by the virtual reality of cinema - that is to say, by his work. So when he carefully questioned his artistic direction in the United States, trying to find his passion for creating works from the inside out, he now had his brain filled with beating, killing, killing, and killing, and his anger for a moment turned into such a script - "Kill, Kill, Kill".
What Shen Zhenghui saw was such a product.
Probably influenced by Shinji Fukasaku and Takeshi Kitano, Miyamoto was a little cynical for a while, and in this script of his, the protagonist is a young man who grew up following the rules, but he was repeatedly frustrated in real life, couldn't find a good job, and barely found a job to make ends meet. He was repeatedly bullied at work. Until one day, the protagonist couldn't bear it anymore, picked up a gun, and shot his colleagues and bosses who had always bullied him in the head. Then he continued to wander around Japan with a gun. Follow your ideals and judge those who he thinks are bad people.
If this film is made. It's going to be a very stylized film. I can't see it in the script, if you want to make the film a classic, the most important thing is the details and the performances of the actors. Miyamoto probably revealed all the middle and second feelings that he had hidden in his body for more than 20 years in this script. Spray Japan as a country to the ground. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but in the script, he portrays the Japanese yakuza members as having an extremely exaggerated deterrent power in daily life, but when faced with a real threat, they become extremely timid. The actor was very cowardly before he picked up the gun again, as if anyone around him could control him, but when he picked up the gun, he became a completely different person, and there was no one in Japan who could resist him. In this extreme way, Miyamoto ridiculed the conformism and rigidity of Japanese society as a whole.
This script reminded Shen Zhenghui of the American movie "God Bless America" in 2o11 in the future, in which the male protagonist uncle took a little loli to kill all sides, and he also felt intolerant of the United States, but the filming time of that film was 2o11, which was much more reasonable in time. Miyamoto's film, which has a strong middle two atmosphere, must not be able to get more recognition - first, the Japanese probably don't like it out of habit, and foreigners probably don't understand his complaints about the Japanese.
After thinking about it, Shen Zhenghui felt that this guy was probably enchanted for a while, but Shen Zhenghui was still very fond of this script, could it be that a Japanese person wrote a script that mocked the Japanese, isn't it a good thing? At the same time, he thought about why Miyamoto's attitude towards the underworld was like this, he and Shen Zhenghui had experienced the banquet of the underworld together, didn't he?
Therefore, this script can be salvaged. Shen Zhenghui thought so, picked up the pen and began to revise the script.
Since it's a Japanese film, it's best that this film is full of Japanese characteristics, what are Japanese characteristics, and it's just an outdated anime and A\V actress when you think about it. Then the setting of the protagonist can be set like this, he is either an anime otaku and paranoid with action, or a sexually repressed virgin with action, given that Takeshi Kitano has already filmed the movie "** Rhapsody" ("Let's Do It Together") in the 9o, then the second setting can be removed.
So the protagonist is actually an otaku who lives in anime fantasy, he is not satisfied with the daily boring life, so he suffers from paranoia, always confusing the fantasy anime world with the real world, at first everyone treats him as a psychopath, until one day, he picks up a gun......
Shen Zhenghui's malicious complaining skills were stimulated by the script he rewrote, so Miyamoto's original depressed and tense way of expressing himself was replaced by a fang-full spit and comedic expression: the police have become greedy for life and afraid of death, treating civil servants as ordinary office workers who are just one job, and become bureaucrats who shirk when they encounter things; The Self-Defense Forces have completely become waste wood, and their usual job is to refresh and paint all kinds of weapons, and they will play dead when they encounter dangerous tasks; The underworld is also a member of the house.,Usually hobby is to watch cartoons.,Collect figures.,Although the table is very combative-the guy who didn't buy a limited DVD disc for the boss was urgently fingered to make amends.,But the direction of the exhibition has been pointed in the wrong direction.。
In short, Shen Zhenghui used the slots of the Japanese summarized on the Internet in the future to spit out the Japan in the script. After the 311 earthquake of 2o11, the Japanese lifted the veil of Japan's apparently third largest economy, revealing to the world a Japan that was completely wasted. The government was helpless in the face of the disaster, and the police force and self-defense forces were ordered to rescue. Lacking combat effectiveness and the spirit of sacrifice, the Self-Defense Forces even disobeyed orders and pretended to be dead in various ways, resulting in complete chaos in the entire disaster relief system, and the victims of the disaster did not receive adequate supplies, and most of them relied on self-help. In the end, the damaged nuclear power plant had to rely on a group of old men and debtors forced by the underworld to clean up, and until 2o14, the nuclear power plant was not cleaned up, and the reconstruction work in the disaster area was far away, and most of the victims still lived in temporary buildings.
As a result, most of the vomit against Japan on the Internet is concentrated on Japan's table after the 311 earthquake. This incident lifted the fig leaf for Japan. As a result, Japan's entire naked side has been exposed to the entire international community. So Shen Zhenghui, a traverser, turned around and profoundly re-complained about Japanese society with the eyes of a latecomer. After the protagonist suffers from paranoia and gets his hands on a gun, he becomes a powerful being that the whole of Japanese society cannot contend with. The police, the Self-Defense Forces, and the underworld are defeated in the confrontation with the protagonist. And the protagonist reaps the same victory from this confrontation as if it were a fantasy anime plot. So this splits two perspectives. The schizophrenic perspective of the protagonist and the ordinary perspective of a normal person, which makes the whole story more interesting.
After Shen Zhenghui's revision, the script has completely become a black comedy with a strong comedic effect. Although it is full of ridicule of the whole Japanese society, but after the modification of comedy, this ridicule is not so glaring, but it is not so real because of excessive exaggeration, but if you read this script in 2o11 years later, you will realize that this script is full of fangs and bite all the bites on the idea.
Although it is written very high, Shen Zhenghui is not too sure what kind of ending to use to sublimate the irony of the whole film, so he lists several endings, including Akira Toriyama using Kaminami Qigong to kill the protagonist, and before that the protagonist will kill Yoshihiro Tomiyasu - if the two cartoonists agree to make a cameo; The protagonist finished shooting the bullet and turned back into an ordinary person, so he resumed his daily life, the Japanese government lied and announced that it had caught the terrorists, etc., and Shen Zhenghui himself was not sure which ending to use, so he put away the written script and prepared to discuss it with Miyamoto when the time came.
After writing this script, Shen Zhenghui felt like he had experienced a warm-up exercise, and the whole person was a little excited, he twisted his neck, stood up and exercised, and at this time Natsumi Horiguchi came to knock on the door again, "President, Director 6 Yang is here." ”
So Shen Zhenghui met with 6 Yang and his team members in the office.
"You've come just in time!" Shen Zhenghui shook hands with 6 Yang and warmly entertained him, and Nazumi Horiguchi served coffee and other drinks.
"Didn't we have a script for "Black Fist" when we planned "Wind Forest High School" before? I thought about it for a moment and thought I could get this project off the ground, what do you think? ”
6 Yang was a little surprised, "But the actors seem to be a little difficult to find, and the cost of filming is too high." ”
"It's up to you to figure out how to act," Shen Zhenghui touched his chin and said, taking out a piece of paper from his desk, "I took a look, I have a crush on two actors in Hong Kong at present, you can help me get in touch." "The piece of paper he handed over to 6 Yang was written on Daniel. Wu and Billy. Week.
6 Yang took it and looked at it, Billy. Zhou is thunderous, Daniel. Wu is a new actor, born in the United States, it is said that he was also born in martial arts since childhood, returned to the Hong Kong exhibition in 97, and filmed several small literary films, 6 Yang also knows his name.
"In addition, you can help me inquire," Shen Zhenghui thought for a while and said, "Whether the famous Japanese actress Yukari Oshima, who was exhibited in Hong Kong in the 80s, is still in Hong Kong, and I would like to invite her for this film." ”
6 Yang began to be surprised, "I remember that there are no female fighters in the script of "Black Fist", ......"
"The script needs to be changed," Shen Zhenghui said confidently, "There will be a variety of styles of fighting in the film, Chinese kung fu, Japanese karate, Muay Thai, Western boxers, and the scene will be bigger." ”
6 Yang wanted to say whether you would wait for the results of "Wind Forest High School" to come out before you thought about this, but at the moment he felt that it was not the time to say this, so he swallowed these words and nodded in response, "Yes, I will go back to Japan and Hong Kong to do these things." ”
"Help me apologize to Mr. Yuan Xiangren, in addition, this time I also want to ask Yuan Jiaban to help with the shooting, you help me talk to Mr. Yuan first, I will also go to Hong Kong later, with the revised script."
"Okay." 6 Yang nodded.
At this time, Nazumi Horiguchi brought in the prepared contract.
"Let's see, if there are no problems, I'm going to welcome you to join Kasuga Pictures as our colleague." After a pause, he added, "We'll be setting up a branch office in Hong Kong, so you don't have to worry too much about staying in Japan in the future." ”
6 Yang thought to himself: I wish I could stay in Japan. However, he carefully looked at the terms of the contract and signed his name excitedly. (To be continued!)
