Chapter 493: A Wonderful Idea from the Stars
Except for Yang Qi, Stephen Zhao then looked at other people's ideas.
Most of them are nothing new, and they also copy Yang Qi's "time and space travel" in the direction, but in terms of concept, they are not as good as Yang Qi's sling counterattack goddess.
The ideas of Zhan Xianjun, director of the screenwriting studio, screenwriter Zhao Xin'er, and director Zhao Xiaogang surprised Stephen Zhao and found it quite interesting.
Zhan Xianjun's idea is that the humanoid alien princess was lost to Saturn because of a spaceship accident, during which she encountered a threat, was rescued by the Saturn boy, and finally sparked a spark of love, deducing a sing, crying, and heart-wrenching alien love. Overall, the idea is so bloody that it's unbearable, but it's something to try.
Heroes save beauty, and then beauties fall in love with heroes, this is a long-standing film and television theme, whether it is East or West, whether it was before or now, and even in the future, almost all love movies and love TV series have this kind of plot, but some are very obvious, and some are set very cleverly, and ordinary people can't see it.
This type of sci-fi film is also selling dog meat with a sheep's head, which is pseudo-sci-fi, but it is so good that it can be done to the point, and you can lick your face and claim that you have made a sci-fi film.
Zhao Xin'er's idea is much more interesting and unconventional.
Zhao Xin'er received the same award on behalf of the famous online novel "Long Dashen", and as a result, after the assessment, she entered Red Star Media as a screenwriter, and her working experience is the same as Yang Qi.
In Zhao Xin'er's conception, the protagonist is a beautiful woman who is unwilling to fail in love, and she can use her memories to go back to the past and change everything that happened in the past. However, in the process of going back to the past, changing things, and wanting to take back her lover. Not only did she find that things were getting worse and worse, but she was even more alarmed to find that her lover left because her personality was too arrogant and strong, and it turned out that the person she really loved was someone else, a man who silently guarded her and acted as a good girlfriend by her side. The title of the film is "Love Through Time and Space".
It's also time travel. Yang Qi's protagonist is to build his own time shuttle; Zhao Xin'er's protagonist is with special abilities.
In addition, Yang Qi's protagonist is a counterattack goddess, the rhythm is simple and bright, what you want is funny, what you want is happy, it is a typical man's perspective; But Zhao Xin'er's protagonist is emotionally supreme, in order to find his love, what he wants is lingering compassion, and what he wants is sadism. It's a typical woman's perspective.
The same direction, different approach, different perspective, the result is two completely different ideas.
"Haha, it's really worthy of the same surname as me, amazing!" Zhao Xingchi was amazed, and his face showed a satisfied look.
There is no doubt that Zhao Xin'er's "Love Through Time and Space" will be filmed. The effect after filming is definitely better than Yang Qi's "Lovers in Time and Space". At least within the scope of China, the audience's acceptance will definitely explode "Time and Space Lovers". The reason is simple. Chinese people like to watch sadomasochistic love stories.
"Chrono Lovers" is refreshing, but it is too monotonous.
Although "Love Through Time and Space" is not as refreshing as "Time and Space Lovers", the plot is distinct and the sense of rhythm is strong.
Director Zhao Xiaogang's idea is so interesting, so interesting that Stephen Zhao can't even cry or laugh.
"A.D. 2046. High technology is constantly changing human habits, and at the same time, it is also renewing human desires. As a result, robots for human service came into being. The first generation of intelligent robot K was born under the secret development of the Tianjin Scientific Research Bureau, with the purpose of replacing the police to perform dangerous tasks. In order to test the performance, the director decided to film it for an internship in a remote town. It was secretly supervised by local police captain Xu Hongwei. K joined the police station as Li Guowei, and immediately showed his skills and became a master of solving the case, and the female policeman Qingqing secretly promised him, which made Xu Hongwei, who had always had a crush on Qingqing, depressed. Xu Weihong looks down on Li Guowei is just an extreme, the two are fighting openly and secretly, and there are many jokes......"
After reading the whole story, Stephen Zhao felt more and more familiar, pondered carefully, and immediately slapped his head: "Damn, this is the fucking bad movie "Cyborg"!" ”
In his previous life, Stephen Zhao watched the movie "Cyborg", which was named "science fiction", because the publicity was very lively at that time, and the film was not bad, and all kinds of wonderful actions made people watch it with blood. But after watching it, I found out that this is an unprecedented fucking bad movie, just hanging on the name of "science fiction", and the dog blood is a collection of "science fiction", "romance", "action", "solving the case", "thriller", "funny" and so on, which is worse than "Fuchun Mountain Residence", at least "Fuchun Mountain Residence" and Sister Chiling are showing off.
But is "Cyborg" hairy? There is only one ordinary Sun Niangniang!
The other actors, Wu Jing's villain, are passable, Zeng Zhiwei's obscenity makes people unappetizing, Hu Jun's funny makes people feel too thunderous, and Fang Lishen's robot makes people pantothenic acid......
Sci-fi film, actually chose such a cast, can Stephen Zhao say that his eyes are blind?
Zeng Zhiwei is obviously a good actor who plays a black boss or an old hooligan.
Hu Jun is obviously a good actor who plays a mighty and domineering man.
Fang Lishen is obviously a good actor who plays a gangster and a second-rate son.
……
There are too many places to complain, and the scarcity of "Cyborg" is comparable to "Wuji"!
However, Stephen Zhao also admitted that although the film "Cyborg" is very sparse and the overall plot is also a hodgepodge of blood, some plots are still good. For example, robots can't fall in love, but they have a plot of falling in love with humans; The villain robot awakens its self-consciousness and wants to be free, so the plot of defection and so on.
From Stephen Zhao's point of view, in fact, many plots in "Cyborg" are unnecessary, and there is no need to be funny for the sake of being funny.
Funny for the sake of being funny, not only does it not play a funny role, but it actually lowers the level of the whole film. Stephen Zhao sometimes really can't figure it out, when it can be made into a good movie, why do those directors, screenwriters, and producers add some unnecessary jokes to the film? It's really nondescript.
Maybe it's for the sake of the movie being able to suit the appetite of Westerners?
There are a lot of unnecessary jokes in Westerners' movies, but this is a unique way of expressing emotions in Westerners, and only Westerners can naturally accept it.
How can you accept it as an Oriental?
Others don't know, anyway, when Stephen Zhao was watching these unnecessary funny, he felt that it was very nondescript, and he couldn't help but scold the fuck every time, what a thing!
After the redundant plot was removed, Stephen Zhao conceived that the plot of the decent "Cyborg" should be like this: the Scientific Research Bureau developed a total of two robots, and then secretly sent them to intern. In the process, the thoughts of the protagonist robot tend to be positive, so he not only gets along with humans, but also sparks love with humans. The villain robot has the upper hand with negative thoughts, and begins to rebel against humans, and decides to conquer humans and establish a kingdom belonging to robots. In the end, the conspiracy of the villain robot was discovered, but the human lover of the decent robot was caught and threatened, and in the process of rescue, the decent robot and the villain robot died together, and the human was saved.
After Stephen Zhao conceived it, he felt that his idea was really great, the plot should have a plot, it should be sensational, and the main line should be clear, the sense of rhythm is strong, the decent villains have distinct personalities, and it also reflects the relationship between humans and robots, with human thinking, it should be a good science fiction film, both commercial and artistic.
In addition to this, this film can also shoot multiple sequels.
For example, in "Cyborg 2", the plot can be like this: the villain robot who died together turned out not to be dead, and there was consciousness, and when the human was about to destroy him, the consciousness infiltrated the body of other unfinished robots, and then rushed out of the scientific research bureau and hid in a secret place to continue to prepare for the great cause of conquering mankind. Humanity has suffered a lot of losses, so it comes to mind resurrecting decent robots. In the end, the decent robot and the villain robot died again.
If necessary, you can also shoot "Cyborg 3" and "Cyborg 4" ...... until the day he dies of old age.
As for the plot of decent and villain robots, it's okay, you can also add aliens and let decent robots fight aliens.
When you don't know how to make up the plot, you can refer to "Transformers 4", isn't Optimus Prime fighting aliens. And in the finale, the Decepticons are not dead, and they can continue to make a sequel.
Stephen Zhao thought to himself, compared to those guys who filmed "Transformers", what is my sequel? It's weak!
After reading all the ideas, Stephen Zhao gave his replies one by one.
Yang Qi's "Lovers in Time and Space" and Zhao Xin'er's "Love Through Time and Space", Stephen Zhao's reply is that the project can be filmed.
Zhan Xianjun's idea, Zhao Xingchi's reply is more: "You can set up a project for shooting." In addition, it is recommended to change the title of the film to "You from the Star"! ”
The reply to director Zhao Xiaogang is the most, Stephen Zhao not only changed Zhao Xiaogang's plot to what he wanted, but also changed the title of the film to "Cyborg", and also roughly said the plot of "Cyborg2" and the plot of adding alien villains in the subsequent films, saying that he could make a movie series.
After doing all this, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Stephen Zhao browsed the Internet, and the matter of his filming of science fiction films was no longer lively, but many people were still discussing. And inside his scarf, fans no longer brush wildly, but only come over from time to time to shop, and then ask: "Master Xing, why don't you open science fiction novels?" I've been waiting for all the flowers! ”
Stephen Zhao smiled slightly, and immediately manually updated his scarf, and replied to these netizens: "For the time being, I don't mean to write science fiction novels, but the script of science fiction is in preparation~" (to be continued......)
PS: The plots of "Chrono Lovers", "Love Through Time and Space", and "Cyborg" after conception, are all my own thoughts, pure fiction, if there are similarities, it is a coincidence...... However, these plots should not have happened yet, so if there are similarities, pay me the copyright fee lightly, thank you - ^-^ - hahaha
