Subtitle of this chapter: CHAO Breaks New Ground

“CUT!”

“BRAVO! ell played! (Translation: Wow!) Well acted! )

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

After this performance, there was enthusiastic applause and applause. Our Master Yuan looked at it and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Mr. Theodore Edison, why are you here?" ”

"Huh?" Little Mr. Edison paused for a moment, and then said confidently, "Mr. Yuan, this is my family's warehouse, can't I come and see it?" ”

Yuan Yanqian was right to think about it, so she didn't pretend that she didn't see this little Edison, but turned her head to the director and said, "Lilian, I didn't expect the first one to go so smoothly, your rehearsals have been really efficient these days." ”

It's not the night of the reception on December 12, 1920, it's six days later. Today, the female star and the female director are dressed up a little ...... Well, it can really be said that it is shocking, because she wears a men's suit and leather shoes.

In 1920, women wore men's clothes, which was definitely fancy dress, and in Syris's words, it was "wearing demons". This crime should be placed on my Dameng and my Daqing if they are unlucky, that is, they will be abandoned from the market, that is, they will be beheaded. And Western women in this era dressed as women are also very avant-garde, and there is a plot in "Downton Abbey" that describes the front and back of World War I, in which the third sister wears a pair of pants for dinner and causes a storm.

Miss Lillian-Jixu wears this just to make herself more like a big director, of course, Master Yuan, who is quite "avant-garde" in aesthetics, also likes the neutral dress of "Lover Lady".

The men's beauty smiled and said: "That's not because your script is well written, everyone really thinks that they can't live up to such a good script, so they all work hard." ”

To be honest, the script of "Twelve" is really good.

The most critical factor is naturally the main creator, and Yuan Yanqian, the traverser, actually already has a ...... Well, in fact, there are four ready-made classic scripts of the United States, Russia, China and Japan, just change the case and characters in it, and the main line does not need to be changed at all.

Of course, the Chinese and Japanese versions of these four versions of "Twelve Angry Men" are a bit out of place with the United States in 1920, so they have no reference value. In particular, the version of Neon Gold's "Twelve Gentle Japanese" has too much banter, and it is filmed like a neurosis, and it is better to say that it is a drama than a comedy.

The Russian version was filmed by Nikita Mikhalkov, a Russian national treasure who is known as Russia's Steven Spielberg. However, his old man's ambition is too big, such a film condenses the current situation of Russian society being divided and struggling after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and at the same time tortures human nature. The 12 jurors in the play endlessly tell the history of the revolutionaries: Jewish intellectuals, the Chechen war, the Nazi Party, gambling, the Caucasus, the CCCP, class divisions, ...... And so on. The requirements for actors and directors are too high, and our Master Yuan can't shoot even if he wants to.

However, he is not too satisfied with the original version in the United States, like most Hollywood movies, the actor played by Henry Fonda is too heavy and too magnificent, and the supporting characters are quite face-painted and hollow, so it greatly weakens the criticism of reality and the display of human nature.

Therefore, every character in Yuan Yanqi's "Twelve" is closer to ordinary people.

For example, the protagonist he himself "plays", Juror No. 6 is a playboy. The reason why he was the only one who thought the defendant was innocent in the first place was that he was a little pitiful, and he couldn't bear to take the life of a beautiful woman in just a few minutes of voting.

Juror 6 then offered to examine the case at least once more carefully before proceeding to the vote. Here, as in the original book, if everyone still thinks that the defendant is guilty, then he will not raise objections again. This is where the plot begins......

Since Yuan Yanqi, the main creator, replaced a fictional patricide case with a real-life murder case, the theme of this movie is naturally different, and it will go in the direction of feminism.

It has to be pointed out that after the progressive era, feminism has become a fairly "safe" public issue. If our Master Yuan is now making a big deal about racial equality, then he will be sent back to China even if he has a tacit understanding with the Republican Party; If he jumps out and says that he is an atheist, then this Ph.D. at New York University is really a bit of a hanging, and if he works in the direction of his successor......

"Pickup pickup."

But he is fighting for the legitimate rights and interests of women, not to mention the United States, even if it is Seris, whoever scolds him is a feudal remnant who moves against the trend. For him, the master of neoclassical liberalism, scolding was healthier and freer.

What's even better is that this feminist theme is perfect for these twelve screenwriters to "co-create" together.

They were all professional writers, and Theodore Dresser, Vera Kaiser, T.S. Eliot, Fitzgerald, and the Craftsman were all real writers with no water at all, and they were all leftist-leaning. Well, adults who love crafts can not count.

Other people are also intellectuals who eat the line of writing, even if they haven't eaten anything and seen that running, at least the amount of reading is not comparable to ordinary people. They are barely able to construct the inner world of an uncomplicated character.

The 12 jurors found out from the outset that the defendant's husband was not a good thing, and that Mrs. Dempsey could at least exonerate the murder in self-defense.

At this time, someone, such as Ms. Cather, a "devout Christian", jumped out and accused the defendant of cheating. They followed this line of thought and turned their attention to the salesman, and found that he was not a good thing, and that he was very suspected of lying.

Then they began to study the witnesses of the landlord and neighbors, and once again found that these guys were also bad things trying to take advantage of the defendant. It is highly probable that the witnesses had wronged the poor woman in anger because they had been rejected by Mrs. Temple.

The scene became awkward, and one by one, the 12 jurors felt guilty about the women. They eventually realize that they are also one of the culprits responsible for this tragedy.

In this way, as the plot unfolds, they examine the circumstances of this murder case while examining their relationship as men and the women around them. Through these male characters from all walks of life, the film ultimately examines the marriage and social status of men and women.

The theme was sublimated all of a sudden.

It's no wonder that as a woman, Miss Lillian-Gish loves this script so much. She saw the shadow of her own mother in the character of Mrs. Temple, who also ran away with her sisters Fen'er because of domestic violence.

She was not quite the director of "Twelve", and she felt that she was not capable enough. But in the end, she was really reluctant, so she had to bite the bullet.

Of course, because our Master Yuan presided over the creation of such an outstanding script, her love for greasy is a little stronger, and she has unlocked several new poses in the past few days.
