Win or not, I can't talk about it yet, Shao Yingxing, who has just made the script, is hesitating whether to shoot in full real-life or into special effects, after all, this movie does not invest much in the production cost, and the live-action shooting is also in a non-crowd gathering place, if you smash special effects into such a movie, I'm afraid it's a bit of a loss, he is not a rigid German, how to save costs.

What the?

Didn't Shao Yingying make this movie to recreate the experience of that dark period in the United States?

Don't make a fuss, Shao Yingying doesn't have such a big heart, and he is saying that this little black history of the United States is not something they are willing to put on the big screen, go and see the main creative lineup of this movie, directed by the British Steve McQueen, because of his appearance, Juan Fudu came to make a cameo; The actor of the demon slave owner is Irish, German mixed race Michael Fassbender Overall, this is simply the cheese of the British understanding the national theme of the United States, just like a group of black girls playing Dream of Red Mansions.

Looking at what the whole movie expresses, from the beginning of the movie, the black slaves stand in a row and watch the slave owners demonstrate how to work, to the 7-minute full 29 whips and the lines with an unforgettable sense of depression, which country would make a historical film so depressing? Only British dramas and movies in the UK have such a strong style, and if anyone has read "Don't Trust Anyone" by British writer S. J. Watson, the depressing text in that book is alive and well as if you have a foot in your chest, just to make you breathless.

Can you do me a favor? Kill me......

From now on, forget the name of the first half of your life......

These lines bring a sense of apathy, fear, insecurity, and time standstill. This is the obvious British film style, like the impenetrable sultry feeling after the world is obscured by black clouds.

It's just that this movie didn't confuse the Oscar for Best Picture that year. That will cause uncontrollable consequences, which is the real reason why the film still won awards in the unanimous complaint of many Oscar judges!

Why?

In September 2013, George Zimmerman, the community assistant police officer who shot and killed a 17-year-old black teenager, was acquitted, and there are many details here, but the racial issues that have been raised across the country have been brought to the fore, and black presidents have come to power. Dare to kill black people, are you going crazy?

Under this kind of public opinion, there must be something positive to stand up and say. There must be substantial evidence to sue everyone in the country, there is no racial problem, there is no contradiction between races, and all of them have been lifted out of the water under the control of the river crab divine beast.

The key is that this kind of theme has frequently appeared in the Oscars in the United States, where the status of blacks is increasing. Some judges even said that black movies with racial themes are always very confusing. You don't dare to move, because blacks think they're used to being bullied, and he'll dare to label you as racist no matter what you do. Isn't there a joke about the rice country? A poor black man who had worked hard to eat steak finally ate steak, but when he turned to see the white people eating white truffles in the fancy restaurant opposite, he said, 'Black people still have no place in this country'. What does this have to do with status, it's just that people have more money in their pockets than you do.

Of course, this is just a joke, but in recent years, many racial themes have been used in major awards, isn't it often the same?

"Roots", "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", "Beasts of the South", and "Help" all have a little bit to do with race.

It's just that. This qiē Shao hero doesn't know very well, he only knows the theme of the movie that is suitable for Chinese actors. The film is the best adaptation and that's it.

The point is that he still has the task of slapping his face.

finally chose the live-action shooting of "Twelve Years a Slave" to start making a budget, before making a budget, Shao Yingying did not plan to invite any big names to make a cameo, this kind of movie except Denzel Washington, I am afraid that no white big name he knows is willing to participate, it is the rule of this circle not to force people, otherwise the friendship will be wasted, not to mention that Denzel Washington has no time to help him play any role now, after people won the Cannes Best Actor, they are very busy.

For this movie, Shao Yingying will only make comments on the shooting techniques, first of all, the light and shadow after being caught are used very well, when the iron chain appears, it is a bit shocking, a feeling of free people losing their freedom from now on quickly appears, and the tone of the whole movie is very clear from that second; Secondly, the long shot is very realistic when it shows the violent scenes, and if you use the splicing of multiple shots under the table of this kind of shot, there will be traces of 'movie', and if you use the long shot, it seems to let the audience borrow other people's eyes to see; finally, this movie mostly uses flashbacks and separation of sound and picture, and the sound of the next scene enters in advance is also very interesting, although it is not clever, but there is always a little freshness.

It's just that the love of the whole movie is not accumulated enough, Shao Yingying didn't feel the hysterical outburst in the movie many times, like a fart that was held all the time, but he never waited for a loud 'touch' until the end, but disappeared little by little, a little bit of air leakage, leaving a stench. In the movie, the male protagonist resists, if he fights the demon slave owner, then the whole situation will be different, because the foreshadowing in the movie is enough, if the male protagonist beats the demon slave owner hard, and then is hung there and almost hanged, then he learns to be well-behaved, and then immediately connects with the character played by Pete to find reinforcements, and the slave owner almost dies......

Alas, how did it become a commercial film again?

Shao Yingying wonders, why are these commercial films so easy to play......

After a few helpless laughs, Shao Yingying began to set actors, Michael Fassbender must be a slave owner, and now he has just finished playing Magneto in "X-Men", and he also won the Venice Best Actor and Golden Globe Award nominations for "Shame", which can be regarded as a little out of Hollywood, which is much better than when he played roles in "Band of Brothers" and "300 Warriors". As for the wife of the demon slave owner, Shao Yingying didn't know why the first thing that came to mind when he remembered this role was Lucy Lawless, who played Ludia in "Spartacus", maybe the role given by this TV series was too deep, or it could be ......

Shao Yingying participated in several promotions with the crew of "The Expendables" during his busy period, and when several old friends met again under the flash, they chatted about the expectations of the "Expendables" movie, but Stallone, Jason Statham and Li Lianjie obviously felt that Shao Yingying was not interested in the box office.

"Shao, don't you want to predict the box office of our movie?"

Hearing Sylvester Stallone's inquiry, Shao Yingying explained simply: "I know that this movie will definitely do well at the box office, but we can't seem to surpass "Avatar", believe me, this is an appreciation. ”

Jason Statham asked, "You mean we can't get 250 million in investment?" ”

"Nope." Stallone interjected: "It's us tough guys who dare to play skydiving and all kinds of dangerous moves, but we play muscles, and we don't want to give wings to our imagination." After speaking, Stallone looked at Shao Yingying and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, Shao, I'm not kidding, in this era when imagination reigns, muscles are no longer the only weapon to attract attention, not even violence, even if - sex - and violence are the eternal themes." ”

This is the meaning of Shao Yingying's sentence, imagination will become the most eye-catching thing when the Internet age comes, just like when people a hundred years ago imagined today a hundred years later, their cartoons are some very simple wings tied to people's bodies to carry human beings soaring; In the same way, it is also like thinking that many science fiction novels and science fiction movies imagine a future world with a supercomputer as the core, and humans can manage the entire world as long as they control this computer.

Is that really what the world of the future will look like? Maybe, maybe not, no one can say these things, but this is imagination, and in this era, whoever can give wings to imagination will be king.

However, Shao Yingying can be sure that once the era of imagination has passed, what people miss is the most ordinary and closest to the era of life, which is the main reason for the polar opposition and frequent replacement, as if when the salesman is rampant everywhere, everyone thinks that speaking quickly and clearly means that he is capable, but he does not know that in the later era, the slower the speed of speech, the more it means that the words spoken are gentle enough and easy to accept.

Anyway, after a busy period of time, Shao Yingying finally got out the preliminary preparations for this movie, but when the film was taxed before the start of filming, Germany and the United Kingdom were very happy, as if they finally saw someone who wanted to uncover the scars of the United States, and they were eager to wait for the results with an excited face.

That's it, the movies that didn't invest much money in total cost almost nothing except for the salaries of Michael Fassbender and Lucy Lawless, and there were no cameos from Juan Fu and Pete in the movie.

"Boss Shao......"

When the whole crew was ready and was about to set off to film on the rented farm the next day, Wang Qianyuan found Shao Yingying: "Boss Shao, you, you're not right." ”

Wang Qianyuan's reluctant look was like being forced to marry the little daughter-in-law of the second fool in the next village, reluctantly.

"What's wrong?" Shao Yingying asked with a smile.

Wang Qianyuan took a list of the cast and crew of the crew and said: "Boss Shao, you can't come here, you won't look for a corner, if I'm not here, you will mess with the actor all day long, so if I do this, I can win you once in my life." ”

"Hahaha......" Shao Yingying laughed and left without a word.

Wang Qianyuan didn't catch up with the good time at all...... (To be continued......)
