(ps, I typed the chapter number of the previous chapter wrong, 427 typed twice, so the sequence of this chapter is correct)

As an ideological propaganda mouth, war has always been the favorite theme of major Hollywood studios.

In the twenties of the last century, Buster Keaton was filming the Civil War genre film "General";

In the forties, Charlie Chaplin was filming the satirical film "The Great Dictator";

David Lean's scandalization of the October Revolution in the sixties was a big sell;

And in the 80s, "Field Platoon", a movie that couldn't be right, made Oliver Stone fame and fortune......

It is precisely because war films have been filmed for a hundred years that they have been made by Hollywood, so in this theme, there are no new routines at all, no matter which master innovates, it is all old wine in new bottles, and the soup is not changed, and in this case, Gail Hurd uses the traditional war film perspective to express the future war script, which is easy to understand.

After all, in this field, everyone is in a state of inspiration exhaustion.

Not to mention, the overhead theme of future war is not easy to fantasize.

There's no way, who makes the selling point of war movies actually the position and spirit?

Regardless of whether it is the Civil War, or the First and Second World Wars, whether it is the Vietnam War, or the actions that followed, the reason why movies based on these themes have become popular is that it is about empathy.

Take Stanley Kubrick's "Path of Glory" as an example, anyone who has seen this movie knows that this is a film that tells the story of why the French were defeated in the war from the perspective of the French themselves.

As an anti-war film, it greatly satirizes the incompetence of the French army.

Although this movie was regarded as a masterpiece in later generations, what about when it was released?

Fiasco, okay!

France was clearly the victor of the First World War!

Writing the glory of the winner with the lens is what the director should do!

And Stanley Kubrick did the opposite, exposing the ugly face of France?

If "Road to Glory" doesn't hit the streets, no one will hit the streets!

In the same way, the success of "Forrest Gump" is also because of the position.

When everyone in the United States feels that the Vietnam War was a huge mistake, criticizing it can make the audience empathize!

In this way, when everyone knows that stance is the key to the profitability of war movies, all the movies related to future wars are made from the perspective of human beings? Because that's the only way? In order to make the audience more immersive!

But actually......

More often than not, audiences see this kind of war movie as a disaster movie.

Because to be honest? Even from a human perspective? The audience's sense of substitution will not be strong.

So? When it comes to sci-fi, would Hollywood rather pitch an action movie like The Matrix? An ethical film like "A Thousand Shots"? "Back to the Future" is a time-traveling movie, and he is not willing to make any war movies.

In the case that the important selling points are out of control, everyone knows that such a movie is made? There is a high probability of hitting the streets.

But the question is? "Terminator 1 and 2" alone has already used the four major factors of time-travel, thriller, action, and ethics, and before reusing the reality that is destined to hit the streets, the future war, which is not easy to shoot, has become the only breakthrough.

Maybe for Hollywood's old-fashioned people, there is no breakthrough for reckless progress? That would undoubtedly be self-defeating, but for Roland? Let the "Terminator" series, which has built a time machine and can travel through time, enter the breakthrough of future wars? That's a smart move to put your life on the spot!

What future war movie does not have a strong sense of substitution because of its insufficient position?

We don't need a stand!

Just let the audience watch it cool!

What crossing can not be used again?

Let's use crossing!

As long as the audience thinks it's cool to use it!

Even if James Cameron's "Terminator 1 & 2" used up all the movie selling points on the market? That's okay!

Because when these selling points are mixed together? That's the new highlight!

'Bang Bang! ’

Thinking of this? Roland hurriedly patted his thigh.

Kate, who knew what it meant, walked around and sat down very naturally.

Ever since the two got married, they have liked to talk about things in this way.

And when the 911 incident was also shared by them, the last bit of estrangement between the two sides disappeared without a trace.

For Roland now, there is nothing that can't be shared in the composition of his career, and for Kate at this moment, listening to her husband's brain hole is actually a little fun in intimate life, so after Kate sat down, she took the initiative to pull out a pen from the pen holder and prepared to write something on the script with her husband.

"Kate."

"Huh?"

"Have you seen Groundhog Day?"

"Groundhog Day? Isn't that a movie about the cycle of time? Played by Bill Murray? ”

"Yes, yes, that's the movie! My idea now is to incorporate the element of time cycle into Terminator 3. ”

"Integrating the Cycle of Time into Terminator 3? You're not ready to make a war movie anymore? ”

"No, no, no, it's still a war movie, the background is still decades from now, the main line is still John Connor leading mankind to fight Skynet, and what we have to do now is to make the cycle of time the key to John Connor's defeat of Skynet under the condition that the main tone of future war remains unchanged, or in other words, in the case of the disparity between human beings and Skynet's capabilities, let John Connor have the plug-in of time reincarnation, so that the final human victory becomes more logical......"

“What？” Hearing this, Kate frowned.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, she said, "I don't understand what you mean, isn't the cycle of time just to let a person live the same day without limitation?" In this case, how does John Connor, who is stuck in a time loop, beat Skynet? ”

"That's where the soul is!" Roland flicked off the cap of his pen and said while writing: "First of all, let's make the first point clear, if we really want to shoot "Terminator 3", it will mean that the final ending of "Terminator 2" is wrong.

What is the ending of Terminator 2?

Judgment Day has not come, world peace.

And why hasn't Judgment Day arrived?

Because the T-800 and Sarah Connor, who were sent by John Connor to protect themselves in '95, discovered that the reason for the appearance of the Skynet system was that humans discovered the chip in the body of the T-800, the first generation of assassins Sarah Connor.

In other words, human research on Skynet began with the first assassination in 1984.

It is precisely because of this setting that at the end of "Terminator 2", the T-800 will self-destruct.

Because the T-800 and Sarah Connor want to destroy it all at the source.

Only when all the chips and technologies from the future are gone, Skynet will cease to exist.

But once they want to shoot "Terminator 3", then it means that their idea is wrong!

Regardless of whether they destroy everything related to the T-800 or not, Skynet will be born, which means that the world of "Terminator" is actually a multiverse, and when the future man goes back to the past and changes the past, everything he does will not affect the future he is in, because what he does is create a new timeline!

Can you see what I mean? ”

"Oh! You're talking about the grandfather paradox. Kate understood, and while brushing back the hair hanging in front of her, she also drew a line on the paper written by her husband with her right hand, writing 1984 at the starting point on the left, 2030 at the starting point on the right, and 1995 in the middle.

"You have to mean that with the intervention of Skynet and John Connor, two universes have emerged in '95, right?"

"yes, that's what it means."

"And then?"

"Then it's easy! After both the Nets and John Connor discovered that going back to the past doesn't change the future, they knew that only by defeating each other at this point in time could they win. ”

"Wait......" Kate interrupted her husband, "but the problem is that Skynet can't beat John Connor in the first place, so he wants to go back in time to deal with John Connor's mother!" If this is the beginning of "Terminator 3", doesn't that mean that Skynet will lose if it doesn't fight? This movie is not interesting!

And, isn't this what you're talking about now the same prelude that Gail Hurd wrote? ”

“Oh！ My！ God！ Roland had a headache, "Can't you figure out such a simple thing?"

Assuming that "Terminator 3" is a story that takes place in Universe A, then in the case of the world of "Terminator" with the concept of multiverse, there must be countless Skynets at the same point in time!

Skynets in the universes A, B, and C may all be facing the fate of being defeated by John Connor, but Skynets in the universes D, E, F, and G may also have sought a ray of life under the targeting of John Connor!

And in this case, how can Skynet break through in Universe A?

Wouldn't that be easy?

Go back in time and move the rescuers!

So at the beginning of "Terminator 3", Skynet, who was aware of the concept of the multiverse, frantically opened the portal, and let T-800 and T-1000 robots go to the multiverse where Judgment Day has erupted, and bring Skynet of that world to Universe A, so as to strengthen their own strength and confront John Connor!

And when an inexhaustible supply of robots appears, how can humans resist?

John Connor can be beaten out of by Skynet, okay! ”

When Roland was emotionally excited to write A on the 2030 written by his wife, and then marked 1998 on the timeline, and drew several branches towards that point, and then marked B, C, D, E one by one, Kate, who was sitting in his arms, had fully understood what kind of nerves her husband was having now.

Plunder the resources of other universes to strengthen yourself?

This brain hole is really ......

Wonderful!

But when I think about it, when the Terminator appears all over the world, it is like a locust transit......

It's really shocking!

"Then according to what you say, humans can also go back and move the rescuers!" Kate became interested in what her husband said, but as soon as the words came out, her face changed and she said, "That's not right! Humans can't go back and move the rescuers! ”

In fact, when Kate said that humans can also act in the same way, Roland had already raised his left hand and wanted to point out his wife's stupid head, but when Kate changed her words......

With a 'snap', Roland snapped his fingers in agreement.

"That's right! Humans can't go back and move the rescuers! Because Skynet can strengthen itself by plundering alone, but human beings are different, transporting humans and weapons from the B, C, D, E universes to Universe A? People from other universes definitely don't want to! So......

Humanity has to get hung up!

Because only then will they win!

And when humans also know that they can only survive at the present point in time, time reset is their only way to defeat Skynet, just like playing a video game, die and start over! If you die, you will do it again!! If you die, you will start over!!

As long as you read the file as many times as you want!

Humanity will win!

And in this situation, how to lead more human beings to live has become what John Connor must do! ”

That's right!

When the concept of time reset came up, Roland's first thought was Edge of Tomorrow!

No way, who made the idea of this sci-fi war film a perfect solution to the problem of the imbalance of combat power in "The Terminator"?

In the case of the extreme disparity in force between the two sides, only by constantly reading the file can we win!

As for why Skynet is added, the reason is very simple.

It's just reading the file and starting over, it's not interesting!

Although "Edge of Tomorrow" has a high rating, he is a street movie after all.

The investment of 178 million yuan was only exchanged for a box office of 370 million, this huge difference made Warner lose all his underwear, and the factors that led to this movie hitting the street are also obvious, that is, the male protagonist crushed from beginning to end, making the rush that should be refreshing become uncharming, and when the audience learned that no matter how Tom Cruise did, he would not die, the cool energy of killing the enemy on the screen disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, Roland had to revise this part.

In his setting, at the beginning of the film, the director needs to spend 20 minutes explaining the future of 2030.

First depict the excitement after the failure of the Skynet scheme from the perspective of human beings, and prepare to carry out a general attack on the remaining Skynet, and then portray the regret after the failure of its own plan from the perspective of Skynet, and then the emergence of the idea of ending up together, but when Skynet is preparing to fight to the death with humans and wants to make a fish to die and break the net, Skynet, which has calculated the existence of parallel universes, feels that the opportunity has come, so T-800 sets off again and goes to the year after the outbreak of Judgment Day, and plots those Skynet robots to 2030.

For the next 20 to 40 minutes, Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-800 will play a one-man show in 1998, where he will search the post-nuclear world for traces of Skynet and then set up a production plant to produce robots.

This place will use a lot of special effects to show the desolation after the nuclear explosion.

What a two-headed dog! Nine-tailed cat!

In short, spend a lot of money to make some disgusting creatures.

It is important to explain the distortion caused by nuclear radiation clearly.

Even if you shoot this plot in a thriller way, that's no problem.

What the Lord asks for is a sense of substitution.

The next 40 to 60 minutes will be the battle of John Connor in 2030 to destroy the remnants of Skynet.

There is nothing to say about this, it is purely a formation of troops for encirclement and suppression.

But when the movie reaches sixty minutes and John Connor is about to lead humanity to completely destroy Skynet, a transition similar to the final battle of "Avengers 4" makes the Terminator appear in front of humanity.

With the appearance of countless T-800s, the Jedi counterattack from Skynet caused heavy casualties to humans.

It takes ten minutes to portray the bloody massacre -

Humanity paid the price of losing most of its personnel before it was killed from the encirclement of Skynet.

Spend another ten minutes portraying Skynet's bloody pursuit of humanity -

It wasn't until the vengeful Skynet took off the human nest that this one-sided pursuit war finally came to an end.

And when the human race learned that Skynet was able to go back to the past to move the rescuers, the despair that the general trend had gone was shrouded in everyone's hearts, but when John Connor, who did not admit defeat, found that the portal back to the past could make them 'reborn' in a large number of short periods of time, he chose to use the trick of reading the file to lead mankind to victory.

In the next thirty minutes, that's the reading file Warrior vs. Rioter Skynet!

Under Roland's composition, "Terminator 3" is a pure cool film!

What technology, ethics, morality?

Good for non-existent!

It's the end of the world, who still discusses these petty bourgeois topics for you!

Life and death are downcast!

If you don't accept it, just do it!

Humans first crushed Skynet and beat it for twenty minutes!

Then Skynet crushed the human hammer for twenty minutes!

In the end, the two sides fought each other for 30 minutes!

Come to an end!

And under Roland's adaptation, the setting of the protagonist's infinite life has become a kind of explosive point!

When the ignorant human beings are reaping the victory in ecstasy, the audience who knows that Skynet can crush back at any time has a feeling!

After Skynet starts the revenge massacre, the audience who doesn't know how to resist will be nervous!

In the end, when the human beings opened the reading file and hung it back, the rhythm of first raising and then suppressing and then raising again could make the audience feel comfortable!

And as long as the audience is happy......

Isn't the meaning of the existence of "Terminator 3" appearing?

Roland admits that he is a leg-hugging king.

He didn't have the ability to pursue art.

But what about business......

If you have avant-garde cognition, it's still okay to let him make up a story about the cool film outline taught by the two old men!

However, there are actually big problems with this method of arrangement.

"Just listening, this script is indeed interesting, but ......" Kate put down the pen, turned her head to look at her husband, and said with a smile: "If you really make it according to your words, the cost of this movie will remain high." ”

"Money is a trivial matter, and Enron only made nine hundred million over there!"

Roland didn't care about these yellow and white things at all, because he was now poor and had only money left.

"And what about John Connor? Who are you going to play? Kate gave Roland a blank look, and now she doesn't care about money.

After all, after getting married, Roland was missing something called a wallet.

All the cards are there for her, and she signs the bills for shopping.

"John Connor? That's definitely not me! Roland counted on his fingers, "I was eleven in '91 and fifty in 2030, so John Connor had to find an actor in his forties or fifties."

The last time it was more than thirty.

And in your thirties or fifties you have to be an actor......

Brad Pitt?

Tom Cruise?

Tom Hanks?

Hey, I'll leave this question to the director, anyway, we're not short of money......"

After his modifications, can Terminator 3 be profitable?

Roland didn't know.

But he didn't care about those things.

Because it was enough for Arnold Schwarzenegger to see his sincerity, and for the other guys who wanted to get close to him to understand that he Roland was a meritorious fellow!

However, just when Roland felt that the script could be temporarily ended, and he could first take his daughter-in-law to wash Xiangxiang and go back to the room to sleep, Kate, who was holding his neck, had a smile on her face even more, "Then in this way, the most important problem arises."

Director, who do you want to invite? ”

'Director? ’

When Roland heard his daughter-in-law's question, he was a little anxious, and he immediately stopped moving.

Because of this problem, he ......

I really haven't thought about it.
