Chapter 1667: Choi Jung-won's New World
In fact, when Choi Jung-won accepted this salary, Park Hoon-jung knew that things in external publicity were not so simple. [Ran^text^library]. [774] [buy].
However, he doesn't care much about these things, because in the process of making a movie, how to promote it is the production company's business. The director, like the actor, just cooperates with the activity.
Choi Jung-won is the starring role, and the production company is CJ Group, which is equivalent to the cooperation of the left hand and the right hand. How to negotiate, it's too simple, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
But as a director, he cares more about another thing. "Executive Cui, is the plot I created really not good?"
As a well-known director, Park Hoon-jung has always been proud of his strength and fame. But I didn't expect that from Cui Zhengyuan, I actually got an evaluation of my creative ability.
If other people dared to comment on him like this, Park Hoon-jung would have to turn his face and fight back sharply.
But the other party was Cui Zhengyuan, which not only did he not have the courage to fight back, but even had self-doubt because of these words.
He is not afraid of Cui Zhengyuan's power, but of Cui Zhengyuan's ability in film and television creation.
Over the years, Choi Jung-won has used one classic film and television work after another to prove who is the best film and television creator in South Korea and even the world.
In this regard, anyone should recognize his authority.
Since he said that the plot of "New World" is too weak and does not conform to mainstream values, Park Hoon-jung never thought about refuting it, but looked for problems from himself.
The problem is that the authorities are obsessed, and he, as the creator of this play, already has a perfect preconceived consciousness. If you want to find fault with it, it becomes difficult.
When Cui Zhengyuan saw him today, he found that he was very haggard, but it was not to solve Cui Zhengyuan's salary problem, but the result of making a fuss in the script for many days.
Therefore, when I saw Cui Zhengyuan again today, he did not entangle himself on the issue of salary and publicity, and the question that came up was about the plot.
The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, what he wants most at this moment. It was from Cui Zhengyuan that I learned that what are the flaws in my script?
Looking at the white silk that appeared faintly on his temples, Cui Zhengyuan sighed secretly and felt that it was necessary to make a move.
Park Hoon-jung is a pure filmmaker. Single-mindedly just to make a good movie. Such a person who can be called a pure scholar is certainly worthy of respect.
At the moment, Choi Jung-won is no longer hiding, and he has told all the parts about this movie that he discussed with Han Hyo-joo in the front-end time.
Park Hoon-jung listened very carefully and didn't let go of even a single detail. Didn't hear some novel insights. Let's compare it with my own original.
Listening to this, Park Hoon-jung suddenly found himself feeling like he was being empowered, as if there had been a huge improvement in the level of understanding.
The rise of Choi Jung-won did not notice the changes in Park Hoon-jung's mental form.
Until Choi Jung-won finished speaking, Park Hoon-jung was in this state of excitement. At this time, he finally knew that he could do this for the sake of the original plot.
"Then does Li Zicheng, who starred in Executive Cui, also have to make some changes in his personality?" Park Hoon-jong, who was educated, has completely become a good student at this time, and he is not ashamed to ask.
But his question made Cui Zhengyuan stunned, "Who said I was going to play Li Zicheng?" ”
"It's not Li Zicheng, who is that?" Park Hoon-jung was frightened. I didn't expect Cui Zhengyuan to answer like this.
In "New World", Li Zicheng is the absolute protagonist. The other Ding Qing, Section Chief Jiang and others can only be regarded as important supporting roles.
With Cui Zhengyuan's identity and fame, if he doesn't play the leading role, wouldn't the 10 billion be spent in vain.
Cui Zhengyuan shook his head, only to realize that his explanation was not in place. "As I said before, your plot is too weak and doesn't have compelling conflict points. So in my expectation, your script will have to be overhauled. ”
Park Hoon-jung no longer had the shame of his baby being moved at this time, but took out a small notebook and sat down obediently. And took the initiative to ask: "If Executive Director Cui has any good opinions, you can just say it." ”
Cui Zhengyuan nodded at the table, and while recalling his idea, he said, "First of all, let's talk about Li Zicheng." In your design, this person was originally an undercover police officer. In the end, because of the persecution of his boss and his friendship with his eldest brother Ding Qing, he completed the transformation from a police undercover to a gang boss. This is very bad, and it is difficult to satisfy the audience. ”
Without waiting for Park Hoon-jung to ask, Choi Jung-won continued: "Police undercover agents are also policemen, according to the general recognition in the world. The police represent law and justice. And the triumph of good over evil in the end is a generally preferred pattern. In your script, Li Zicheng does not have a firm belief, but only changes his position because of various external factors, which will give the audience a feeling that the whole world is dark. This kind of theme itself is very depressing, and if it is arranged like this, of course, it will be difficult to resonate with the audience. ”
Park Hoon-jung kept writing in his notebook, and when Choi Jung-won took a break, he raised his head, and his eyes were eager to learn, indicating all his thoughts.
Cui Zhengyuan took a sip of tea and began to say his idea. "So here, let's change Li Zicheng's mind. He was not forced to become an underworld, but was tempted by the fame and fortune of the underworld, and at the same time he was eager to ask for the restraint of others, so he brazenly changed his position. In this way, Li Zicheng's depravity is not because of the oppression of his colleagues, but because of the corruption of people's hearts, and it will not make the audience rebel against the entire police class. ”
Park Hoon-jung pondered for a moment and finally ticked off this passage, which means that he was moved by Choi Jung-won's new idea.
South Korea's police are not as incompetent as they are portrayed in the movies, and they have been repeatedly criticized. In fact, South Korea has a very good security environment and is among the best in the world. So in the minds of the public, the overall image of the police is still good.
Deliberately to express the kuai of the Korean police, darkness, sometimes does not get a good response.
Besides, according to Cui Zhengyuan's setting, it is actually more logical.
After all, people live in the world and face many temptations of lust and power, and many people may not be able to resist the corrosion of these temptations.
Next, Cui Zhengyuan finally came up with his killer idea. "Since your movie is based on "Infernal Affairs", it is more reasonable to set it up as a double-line undercover agent. Ding Qing is such a powerful figure, it is impossible not to be prepared for the interference of the police. So I'm going to play the undercover gangster in it, which can be regarded as a rivalry with Li Zicheng. ”
Park Hoon-jung was taken aback and said worriedly: "Although my inspiration for creating this drama came from "Infernal Affairs". But after all, there is an independent plot. If you adopt a dual-spy architecture, it is complete plagiarism. But I don't have the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" in my hands, will I be sued by Xiangjiang if I do this? ”
Choi Zhengyuan waved his hand. said nonchalantly: "My Director Park, you are really blind." I'm right here, isn't it easy to get the right to adapt "Infernal Affairs"? ”
He starred in "Infernal Affairs" at the beginning, and he has an unusual relationship with a group of people in the film and television industry in Xiangjiang.
Arguably. He wants to get the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs", which can be said to be effortless, and even has a discount on the price.
Park Hoon-jung slapped his head and secretly regretted his stupidity. "yes, yes, how did I forget this stubble. The matter of purchasing the adaptation rights will ask Executive Cui to worry a lot. ”
But he is a director who does everything in detail, and since Choi Jung-won has arranged a brand new role, then he must explore it to the end. "If it is the same as the configuration of the double spies in "Infernal Affairs", I am afraid that there will be no breakthrough in the plot, and the audience will not buy it."
He said this very vaguely. In fact, he is saying that he is only inspired by "Infernal Affairs", but he wants to exclude his own novelty.
Cui Zhengyuan smiled slightly, looking confident. "How can there be no novelty? Since Li Zicheng, who is an undercover police officer, eventually became a gangster boss, why can't he finally become a police commissioner as the other protagonist of the undercover gang? ”
"Hiss......"
Park Hoon-jung only felt his teeth hurt, which was a cavity caused by too much inhalation.
He didn't expect that Cui Zhengyuan's ideas were even more radical than him.
But when he thought about it, he felt invigorated again. Yes, an undercover police officer can be a gangster boss. So why can't an undercover gangster become a police commissioner?
I believe that the different endings of such two spies will surprise many people, so it will become interesting.
While Park Hoon-jung was thinking about the curiosity of the new plot, Choi Jung-won already had a complete setting for the new character. "In my conception. The undercover gangster, like Ding Qing, is an overseas Chinese, and he is also Ding Qing's nephew. In order to sabotage the police's interference, Ding Qing sent him to break into the police and be responsible for passing on information. But this undercover agent was very dissatisfied with Ding Qing's arrangement, and he always felt that if he stayed in the gang. He will be Ding Qing's best heir. Being an undercover agent at the same time is a way to come and go, which makes him suffer every day, because he also hates Ding Qing to the core. In the end, Ding Qing was ambushed and died, all of which were the information he provided. Later, after the death of Section Chief Jiang and Ding Qing, as a rising star, he became the best choice for the new director. But whether it is Li Zicheng or this undercover agent, they all know that in each other's camp, there is a person who is a great threat to themselves. And in order to find this person, they each trained a new generation of spies to use to break into each other's camp. Originally, they were undercover agents of the police and gangsters, but after changing their identities, they launched a new round of competition in different positions. ”
Park Hoon-jung has nothing to say, and can only throw himself to the five-body body that Choi Jung-won admires for his design.
He not only enriched the routine of "New World" with a new character, but even used the situation and identity changes of the two spies to lay the groundwork for the subsequent sequel.
Even as an ordinary viewer, I'm afraid I will be looking forward to what kind of way they will fight when the police become gangsters and gangsters become policemen.
is worthy of Executive Cui, and his talent is world-class. In just a few words, the original one-line and simple "New World" has been constructed into a complex and more dangerous new environment.
In this way, "New World", the consideration of the acting skills of several leading actors will reach a new height. Even compared to the original "Infernal Affairs", it will be more exciting.
According to Cui Zhengyuan's vision, many marginalized characters need to be greatly strengthened in the film. Otherwise, the original plot that was too biased towards the gangster side will not be able to present a balanced effect.
For example, the police commissioner, who does not appear much in the film, and the intelligence agent Xinyu, who died prematurely, will all play an important role in the new plot.
With the overhaul of the plot, the whole story is more exciting at the same time, but it is also very different from the original "New World".
Perhaps, strictly speaking, the plot that came out according to Cui Zhengyuan's ideas is the correct "New World".
You have me, I have you. Things change and stars change, yin and yang change. Even if you are tormented in hell, you will have to go through the next round of hell.
This is a tragedy that cannot be found, and more and more people will fall into it and find no way out. (To be continued.) )xh118
