Shao Yingying, who had made up his mind, finally returned to a state of complete concentration, and the entire crew could feel that Shao Yingying was back, and even, at this time, Shao Yingying was full of inspiration and explosiveness, and even injected a deeper "Sophie's Choice"-style plot into the movie on the spot, completely to screw all the audiences who watched this movie without screwing it at all.

"Sophie's Choice" is a landmark work in the history of Western fiction, which was later turned into a film of the same name, telling the story of Sophie, a Polish girl, in the Auschwitz concentration camp in World War II, who faces a torturous choice, and must choose whether to live or die in the face of human torture. After the publication of this book, "Sophie's Choice" was used to refer to a general dilemma, and there are many such movies in China, among which the most suitable for this kind of movie is Lao Mouzi's "The Thirteen Faces of Jinling".

However, when Shao Yingying came to Hollywood, he became more and more aware of Hollywood movies, film history, and even movie genres, and he had to redefine "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", that is, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is a bad movie.

It's not the plot that sucks about this movie, let alone the subject matter, in fact, this plot and theme can make a movie that is very classic, very shocking, and very tragic, which makes people feel their scalps tingle when they think about it, if this movie is made well, its significance is no less than "Sophie's Role".

Why?

First of all, the story is very simple, and the important core of the drama is to push the appeal of thirteen prostitutes-girls to die for the schoolgirls. And Oscar winner Christian Bale, who is a big green leaf, then the space to manipulate this story will become very large; Second, there is the question of perspective. As long as the audience is brought into the perspective of the time, instead of being frequently stolen by the big green leaf Bell to the point where the red flower and the green leaf are completely reversed, the effect will be completely different. The most important thing is that when the thirteen hairpins died, Bell agreed too easily, what about the struggle? What about screwing? disappear completely without a trace; Finally, there is the issue of the parallel lines of the characters, the surviving female students make people feel that they have no value in this movie, at least their value is not indicated in the movie. The sacrificial prostitutes-women don't make people feel that they are great, and the whole movie belongs to the eruptions in all places, and the places that should be ordinary are not foreshadowed. The audience's emotions were not mobilized by the movie at all. In a good movie, the characters are always standing at both ends of the parallel line, not stepping on the parallel line, which is not the queue exercise of junior high school students.

Even if there were countless people who sacrificed in this bland state in the era at that time, you can't just launch it flat without using a little trick in the movie and expect the audience to accept it, right?

If you want to show "Sophie's Choice", the best way is definitely not to go up and hula more than two dozen characters appear in front of you. This will dazzle all the viewers. It is necessary to highlight the key points and completely concentrate the important scenes on one or two deputies, so that after the emotions are concentrated, the outbreak of tragedy and grandeur will be violent. And Bell, in the environment at that time, he could express his feelings of not struggling enough, and after this lack of struggle, did he have to change a way to let people know his regrets?

If the whole movie starts with the old man played by Bell being interviewed and retelling the whole story, the big green leaf will be a little better? Then continue in interspersed form. No matter how perverse Bell is in the movie, when he switches back, he only cries bitterly. Grief-stricken unable to speak, and confided in the reporter the fantasy of 'if I had worked harder, maybe they wouldn't have died', and after being told by the reporter that 'this is the war' coldness, Bell added 'I have been tormented by my own decision for the rest of my life, and I can't forget this qiē in this life, I can't forgive myself' as the end, and then ended with the scene of thirteen people going to die, what effect is that?

Shao Yingying's thoughts were clear, and he grasped the direction of the story in all the shots with full concentration, like a big hand regulating the curved backbone of the Tyrannosaurus rex, arranging the love from low to high in the order of each backbone. He had to do it in this film to get everyone who watched his film to agree with the values in the movie, that it wasn't a killing ending, but that they would do the same if they were put in the movie.

In this case, the actor and all the staff of the crew discovered Shao Yingying's toughness, and when he was acting, he asked his opponent to play as little as possible, but to do exactly what he wanted, which caused Cai'er to be completely suppressed in some roles. But Shao Yingying must do this, for the sake of the overall situation, he must make this movie a movie that is advancing one by one under precise control, otherwise, you will not be able to impress anyone.

"Xiao Shao, have you been a little angry lately? actually began to limit the performances of actors, do you know who will do this in China? Cheng Long persuaded Shao Yingying when there was no one on the set, he didn't want Shao Yingying to become the kind of 'drama bully' that people said.

Shao Yingying didn't explain, but just started another topic and said: "Brother Cheng Long, do you know how 'boutique movies' appeared? ”

Cheng Long shook his head and didn't say a word.

"It's all a coincidence!"

Shao continued: "Whether it's 'The Lord of the Rings,' 'The Matrix,' or whatever, there's no movie that is considered a classic before filming even starts. ”

"Especially The Matrix. Brother Cheng Long, you came to Hollywood earlier than me, and you should know that the script of "The Matrix" has been spread in the hands of almost every producer in Hollywood, but the answer you got at the beginning was that no one could understand it. It's just that when this script was sent to Joe Silver, his choice was to meet the Wachowski siblings, do you know what Joe Silvo said at the time? He said, 'Sorry, I still don't understand your script, but I think it's a great idea.' He just gambled! ”

Cheng Long asked rhetorically: "What does this have to do with our movie?" What does it have to do with high-quality movies? ”

"Listen to me!"

Shao Yingying continued: "Because no one understands the script of this movie, so. The Wachowski twins had plenty of room to play and they took the first step of "The Matrix" and turned it into a classic movie without any constraints, and the whole movie was like the director saying, 'I'm just a cool idea.'" I just want everyone to see it', and I can't really say anything other than a cool word. Don't believe it, if you go back and watch the whole series again today, you will find that only the first one is the purest Wachowski twins movie, and they insist on telling a story of their own, which does not belong to Keanu Reeves and does not belong to Joe Silver. It's just them. ”

"But what about the last two? The last two became movies that were kidnapped by commerce, and after turning from a B-grade movie, the whole thing didn't feel right. It's like, 'I'm still cool, why is it cool?' Because of the money, because of the special effects, not because of that enthusiasm! ’。 This is the first movie of "The Matrix" to become a miracle movie that can exceed 1 million DVD sales in Hollywood. Even if his source is "Ghost in the Shell", if you want to understand all the animated shorts in the movie, you still have to watch the movie. ”

Shao Yingying continued: "Actually, these are the unified lines that became manipulated by the dictator after the initial coincidence, because he has a high degree of unity, which makes it a boutique. What I want to do now is to deeply control the direction of the whole film, and ask every actor to be part of the service of the film, even if the film makes me prune into a royal garden in the court. The roundness without a single burr has to be developed like this. Only then can I control it. This movie is certainly not as full of wild creativity as "Source Code", nor as violent as "Super Body" to justify, but this is the end of the series, and the ending must be round. ”

Cheng Long listened in a daze, in short, he understood one thing, Shao Yingying is going to completely make the last movie that is at least not inferior to the first two: "Uh, I really haven't heard much of what you said......"

"And what have you heard?" Shao Yingying asked jokingly.

"I've heard that the 'Matrix' franchise has generated nearly a billion dollars in profits for Joe Sivor."

At that time, Shao Yingying rolled his eyes, this series of movies, he not only cares about Lierun, but also looks forward to everything, word of mouth, box office, peripherals, everything!

After finishing filming in Germany, Shao Yingying led the crew to the United Kingdom, and the British Isles was the final stop for them to complete the movie, and Shao Yingying needed to prepare for the finale scene in the movie.

In the camera, the gate of God will appear when only Shao Yingying and Fan Yiyi are left, as long as the two of them kill either of them, the door of becoming a god will be opened, the light of holiness will fall, and at that time, an all-knowing and all-powerful god will be born, and the old god will die.

At this time, there was no longer any scene of wits and courage, Shao Yingying wanted to perform a look at Fan Yingying like a couple, in that look, Fan Yingying smiled and raised a sharp blade to stab Shao Yingying's body, Shao Yingying cracked the corners of his mouth in pain, he was laughing, he knew that Fan Yingyu would resurrect him after becoming a god, just like Fan Yingyu who had risked his life to protect him in countless lives and deaths.

It's just that the ending is different from what everyone imagined, Lucy played by Fan Yiyi became a god, but Lucy did not resurrect Shao Hero under omniscience and omnipotence after becoming a god!

Because she can see the life of herself and Shao Yingying, she knows that in addition to sweetness and strong love, the relationship between the two people is more often torment, quarreling, and fierce debate because of different ideas, and a trivial matter is sublimating this matter to various heights, and the cycle repeats.

She can even see the end of herself and Shao Yingying so clearly, and she can feel every feeling, will she resurrect Shao Yingying?

No!

There is only one god, Shao Yingying will die even if he is resurrected, do you want to make the relationship between two people an infinite reincarnation?

At the same time, Fan also saw the future direction of mankind, saw the whole world rushing out of the earth in the rapid development, the battle in the interstellar world, and the destruction of ....... human beings.

Seeing the rise of new intelligent beings after the destruction of humanity, once again starting an unknown journey in a different direction on a different planet.

She felt lonely, she felt lonely, she felt that she was the only one in this universe, so lonely that she couldn't look down on any intelligent beings, so lonely that she didn't want to continue in this position.

The final finale is......

"Can this ending be changed? I feel that if we let the audience finish watching this movie, I am afraid that they will immediately feel 'very empty', it is the kind of ......" Fan Yiyi said to Shao Yingying before filming: "The feeling of being filled up quickly by being very full, and before I can burp up, I will immediately hollow it out, and the emptiness is too uncomfortable." ”

Shao Yingying responded: "I've made progress, I've even begun to think about the feeling that the movie brings to the audience, tell you the truth, this is what I want." ”

"Why?"

"Because the first and second parts were filmed for the box office, and the third part must not be low at the box office with the support of the first two films, which made me determined to tell something, I want to tell a story that is exclusive to me under the same structure."

Shao Yingying's own story, this sentence is probably only understood by himself, because this script is no longer plagiarism, but just borrows the framework of "Future Diary", but it is much more rigorous than "Future Diary" in terms of big themes, and it has also completed the sudden letting go from the state of holding the audience's nose all the time, making everyone feel that they are floating in the boundless universe, this sense of vanity is impossible for other movie themes to do, otherwise he will never use the classic storyboard technique to shoot 'light, dark', 'straight line, horizontal line' , 'long shot, close-up', 'long shot, short shot', 'still, motion' and other very contrasting shooting techniques to reflect the visual impact effect.

This contrast is like the first battle in "The Expendables", that is, the scene in which Shao Yingying participated in the shooting, the scene at that time was about the "expendables" and pirates using the "high and low" method to distinguish them, everyone knows that in the movie, the upper part of the picture represents power, strength, and control; If you don't believe it, you can think about every movie or TV series you have watched, and is there a boss of a large group company who has set up his office on the first floor? Why do Spider-Man, Superman, and Wolverine always like to attack from top to bottom, and even the heroine of "Tales of the Night" is in a condescending posture?

This is the visual effect given after the comparison, with the contrast, the picture sense is even more shocking, with the contrast, I am immediately full of confidence in the protagonist, looking forward to the picture of the protagonist defeating the villain.

When time passed slowly and the whole movie was about to be completed, all the actors who participated in the filming of this movie were in a very tired state, because the feeling of being controlled by death made them too tired, and they couldn't play heartily, which directly caused the feeling of tightening their bodies and demanding the slightest bit of suffocation in every performance, this feeling ......

On the day the movie was finished, Harry Sloan called and asked, "Shao, when will the special effects production and editing be completed?" Let's set a date for the internal test screening. ”

"Harry, let's change it a little bit, bring in all the media that are against us, put internal test screenings and media test screenings together."

"What did you say!" Harry Sloan asked like crazy.

Shao Yingying replied calmly: "Do you want me to continue to fight with them?" This is a good opportunity for our hatred to be resolved. (To be continued......)
