Major historical events abroad?

Zhang Benyu, the head of the Special Screenwriting Department, was a little stunned after hearing Zheng Xu's words, it was a major historical event abroad, how could it be the main theme?

"Hmph, I've said it all, don't limit your thoughts, whether it's making movies or doing things, we must remember first and show our strengths! Don't use your weaknesses to do things! What are the strengths of our company since it has been around for so long? Yes? It's all the same as the one taken by the predecessors, how can it reflect our difference? ”

"Learn to think backwards! Reverse! ”

"I think so, why can't the main theme film be internationalized? Has anyone thought about this? No one has ever done it, right? Since no one has done it, why don't we do it?! Let's do it ourselves this time! ”

"In the past, there were some old historical events, and the audience was tired of watching them, and they were tired of watching them! Let's shoot it now, even if we make this main theme movie, can the audience be interested? Their habitual thinking will tell them that this is still an old-fashioned main theme movie, even if the director is replaced by me, it will be a change of soup and not a change of medicine! ”

At present, there are many historical events in China, which can theoretically be filmed.

For example, various battles, battle heroes and martyrs and other events can be filmed.

Even the film that Zheng Xu shot in Xiguang Province some time ago also carried a bit of the theme of the Vietnam War.

But these themes are really filmed as the main theme of the movie, and they will go back to the old way.

The current main theme has fallen into a strange circle, which is too didactic and ignores the actual meaning of the movie itself.

Most of the main theme movies, regardless of whether he has other purposes or not, but most of them just want to promote and disseminate, and don't forget history.

Think about it, ordinary people spend money to buy tickets and go into theaters to watch movies, and they don't want to hear something that is too preachy.

Even if it is the main theme of the movie, he essentially wants to tell people something, don't forget the praise of history and so on.

But the main theme movies made by the previous routines are always the same.

This has also led to the current moviegoers even having this kind of resistance to some main theme movies.

In the face of this situation, if Zheng Xu still shoots the main theme movies of the previous style, this name will also have a very big impact on him, and the box office effect will definitely be greatly unsatisfactory.

In view of this situation, after a few days of thinking, Zheng Xu felt that since the domestic main theme theme is not easy to open up the situation, in order to better expand the publicity effect and box office results, can he borrow some foreign historical events to shoot the main theme movie this time.

According to this line of thought, Zheng Xu now has a preliminary plan of his own in his heart.

Glancing at the people in the conference room, Zheng Xu continued.

"In the face of this grim form! We must break the ideological barriers, go out, take out foreign historical events, and turn them into our own things, the main theme is the ideology, the spiritual core, and the propaganda effect! ”

"And what about commercial films? What you see is the box office, the story line, and the cast! ”

"What can we do to bring these two contradictory points together in an unconventional way?"

"What if our domestic historical events are internationalized and released abroad, and foreigners are not familiar with them? Can we first pick a historical event that is very famous in the world, and we must have participated in it! ”

"Don't tell me that the Fu is not in line with history, when I shoot it, it will be in line with history! Do you understand! ”

Zheng Xu first does a good job in ideological work, and only by unifying his thinking can he do great things!

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

....................

"Good!" Zheng Xu looked at the screenwriters and ministers of various departments in the conference room.

When I pressed the remote control, a map appeared on the projection screen on the wall behind me.

It's like an island.

Zheng Xu moved the sofa, leaned sideways and pointed to the image behind him with his left hand and said: "This historical event, not to mention in Asia, even in the world, is a well-known event!" Because he is recognized by all Americans, the turning point event of World War II! ”

"I think so, whether it's praise or propaganda, anything, you have to pay attention to a contrast and foil!"

No matter what kind of historical events, the bad environment, and the grim historical background can bring out the greatness of those heroes and events.

How to set off when it comes to operation?

If you have to be a villain and a decent person, if you are only decent, then the story will not go on, and if you are all villains, you will not be able to play the main theme.

Only when the villain is added to the foiled decency can the story be established.

Combined with the experience of previous main theme films, the historical background must be Hongda, and the popularity must be high!

"To the east of us, the closest is the island country, they are a good comparison, and the island country is further east, and the United States, they are a better comparison!"

"Pull them down, and the whole historical background will seem broader and grander?"

The ministers in the conference room nodded unconsciously in agreement.

The reason is that although the boss likes to shoot small people and tell stories from a small perspective, he doesn't have a good eye for choosing the background, and he is very proficient in the high-sounding internationalization of the story background.

"So... Under this premise, if you think about it along the line, what events can not only pull the people of the island countries into the water to set us off, but also pull the Americans into the water to set us off, and after the movie is made, can't the Americans blame us too much? ”

Pointing to the map behind him, Zheng Xu looked at the group of editors and said: "Ahem, more than 70 years ago, the people of the island country shamelessly attacked Pearl Harbor, everyone knows about it, right?" ”

"This kind of historically well-known event, let's change our thinking and convert, is it very similar to the current Internet heat!"

"If we take this as the theme, the movie we make will naturally have its own popularity! It can also be internationalized! ”

"However, many people may wonder, what does the islander's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor have to do with us?"

"Zhang Benyu, you come on."

Zheng Xu named Zhang Benyu, the head of the Special Screenwriting Department, and asked him to explain in person.

"Okay... Ahem. Zhang Benyu got up and nodded to everyone around him at the same time before he spoke: "According to some information we have collected, before the islanders attacked Pearl Harbor, his plan information was leaked. ”

"And we happened to be the one who also got the information, not only did we get it, in fact, many other countries also got this information at that time, and we warned the United States at that time, but..."

Zheng Xu continued: "Hmph, what the Americans thought at the time, now there are different opinions, but the biggest reason may be clear to everyone, as a country that has never had enough reason to intervene in the Asia-Pacific war, a sneak attack may be a reason for them to turn on the war switch." ”

"The beginning of the war may be like the Maine incident, what the Americans did at that time, I don't say that everyone may know, in order to start a war with the Cubans, they barely found a fig leaf, and actually scuttled their own warships, falsely accusing the Cubans of doing it, and using this as an excuse to start the war."

"I've been thinking about it for the past few days, since we got the information that the islanders were preparing to attack Pearl Harbor at that time, and the Americans also knew about it, and there are records in the historical records, which proves that the fact that we reminded the United States at that time really exists.

For example, after getting this information, our intelligence officers wanted to pass it on to the Americans, first transmitted the information back to China, and finally actually passed the information to the Americans.

It's just that the Americans need this sneak attack as a pretext for war, they need this turning point, or do they need the islanders to fight them first in order to achieve the goal of manipulating public opinion?

And it is precisely because the Americans need these things that the information we passed on in the past was deliberately ignored by the Americans, or that the Americans killed our intelligence officers.

The people in your editorial department should follow this line of thought and set the tone of the whole story clearly, although we are going to shoot the historical event of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

But what we want to shoot is that the islanders attacked Pearl Harbor at that time, and the whole task force was a big scene! It is necessary to discharge the big scene of the fleet arranged by the people of the island country at that time!

And we also need to devote more space to our intelligence personnel, from the painstaking collection of intelligence, to the transmission of intelligence back to China, and then to the intelligence personnel of the United States, and then to the intelligence personnel in the United States to pass on this information to the Americans.

Don't ask me why the information about the islanders' plan to attack Pearl Harbor was not passed on directly to the U.S. Embassy at the time after they returned home, if it was so simple? How do you reflect the twists and turns of the story?

We wanted to show that we were going through a war of aggression and that it would be beneficial for us for the Americans to participate in the exhibition...

But!

Our great Yanguo people cherish peace, even if we need the help of foreign aid, we don't need to simply pull innocent Americans into the war for our own interests!

This emotional description must be dealt with emphatically.

It's a tortuous process.

We want to take pictures of the sinister faces of American politicians, big businessmen, and capitalists who forcibly started the war for the sake of profit, and after they had already received the information that the intelligence officers of the Yan country had worked so hard and had gone through life and death to prepare for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, not only did they not make preparations in advance, but instead killed our intelligence officers and prepared to conceal the information.

And American politicians deliberately forsaken the lives of innocent American soldiers stationed at Pearl Harbor for their own interests, using their sacrifices as a pretext to start a war. ”

The entire conference room was silent, and the low hum of the projector seemed extremely harsh at this moment.

Zheng Xu took out a cigarette, lit the fire, looked at the people who didn't react, and concluded: "In short, my idea is very simple! The islanders ---- shameless in their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor! ”

"Americans know that the islanders are about to attack Pearl Harbor, but it is shameless to pretend not to know----- they are shameless!"

"The Yanguo people, in order to avoid sacrificing a large number of American soldiers, seem to pass on information, and finally be assassinated by the Americans---- noble!"

"Borrow a major historical event and use the shamelessness of the islanders and Americans to set us off!"

"Although this theme is a foreign theme, but according to my operation, you say, is it the main theme?!"

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, three big characters appeared in the upper left corner of the map on the screen-------Pearl Harbor!

“.......”

The old man opened his mouth and looked sluggish, and everyone was numb.

Zheng Xu was enthusiastic at the beginning, looking like he was going to do something big, but as he spoke, the taste changed, what island people, what Americans, until now, this one appeared on the projection...

This one...

What is this Pearl Harbor?

Are you telling me that Pearl Harbor has something to do with the main theme?

Lao Zhang has lived for so many years, he never thought that a movie with the main theme of Yanguo could have something to do with the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by the islanders!

The point is, according to the ideas given by Zheng Xu, if you think about it carefully, this thing is really the main theme movie.

There's nothing wrong with that...

It was the kindness of the intelligence officers of the Yan Kingdom who were treated as donkey livers and lungs, and were finally assassinated by the shameless Americans!

How shameless and hated the Americans are in film and television dramas, the audience who watches the movie will be more sympathetic to the intelligence officers of Yanguo.

Even with it, you can also have a sense of recognition for the noble deeds of the country behind the intelligence officer.。

Isn't this just a praise?

Don't worry about it... Anyway, it's a song.

But this plot, if you think about it, it seems to have a head, although the first time you listen to it, it will make people a little confused.

But!

But...

Zheng Xu made a very clever arrangement in this.

This "shameless American" does not necessarily mean an American.

The shameless Americans he refers to here refer to those who want to start a war and make profits through war, American politicians, American businessmen and American capitalists, and this does not mean that ordinary Americans are shameless.

And this film is just for ordinary people, even if Zheng Xu shoots it like this, as long as the American people don't blame him too much, those upper echelons in the United States?

Their accusations are really nothing, many American directors make movies, even the American Commander-in-Chief is black, this is freedom of speech!

If it is really filmed according to Zheng Xu, after the film is finished, it will be released overseas at that time, and after a long time, will many young Americans take this as real history?

Lao Zhang is such an old person, and he can't help but shudder when he thinks of this.

Looking ahead, Zheng Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, leaning over, crossing Erlang's legs, and holding a cigarette in his hand, looked floating in the smoke.

Although through the smoke, Lao Zhang intuitively felt that Zheng Xu must be looking at him at this moment, Lao Zhang suddenly felt very panicked, half an hour ago, he was still enjoying breakfast in the canteen of Flashing Media.

Twenty minutes ago, he was still full of confidence and wanted to make a TV series and earn him 100 million.

Ten minutes ago, he also promised Zheng Xu to be an assistant director for him to work on the shooting of his new main theme movie.

Right now...

What Zheng Xu said was to add a little innovation to the main theme movie.

This special innovation is to let yourself shoot the big scene of the islanders attacking Pearl Harbor?!

This is a distortion of history!

？？？

...................

Zheng Xu glanced at Lao Zhang, who was sitting in the back row in a daze, and looked at his stupid appearance, turtle.

As long as you are bold, the mouse gives the cat maternity leave.

Didn't Director Han say it, the subject matter is not limited, and the scene should be big! Don't swear.

Is the attack on Pearl Harbor a big deal?

On the island side alone, there were six aircraft carriers, 441 fighters participating in the sneak attack, plus warships of various other functions, and a task force composed of hundreds of warships, not including the warships of the US military at that time.

This scene should be considered a big scene!

As for no swear words, this is simple, no Chinese swear words?

No Chinese swear words is about the same as no swear words.

Both conditions were met, perfect!

Think about it, Director Han who received the script will be happy when the time comes.

Zheng Xu is looking forward to giving Director Han a surprise!

..................

Zheng Xu looked at Zhang Benyu, the thoughtful head of the screenwriting department.

He turned his head to look at Ding Goudan, the head of the special effects department.

Pointing to Ding Goudan, the head of the special effects department who had been fishing in a daze since the meeting, said, "Dogan, let me ask you,"

"If your special effects department of our company asks you to make a large number of such models, such as fighter planes, aircraft carriers, ships, etc., in a short period of time, according to the level of the task force that the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor at that time, how long will it take for the modelers of your special school department to make enough to complete?"

Ding Goudan'er was stunned when she heard Zheng Xu's words.

He stood up and thought about it and replied, "Boss, if you subdivide it according to the scale at that time, it can be almost completed in a short period of time in one or two months, but the details of this kind of model are not guaranteed." ”

"However, if you just shoot the scene for illustration, these models can still reach the imaginary level, and if we add special effects to repair and refine in the later stage, the quality should be guaranteed."

Zheng Xu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and then said slowly.

"Okay, you also heard what the dog said, what are our advantages in our company now at our own level?

First of all, our special effects department is very experienced in making models.

Secondly, we also have more detailed information on the incident of the attack on Pearl Harbor, if there is any omission, I can ask Nosaka Qingqing to ask him to find the islander's own database, and add more detailed information to me, I asked Nosaka Qingqing, he can even get the detailed plan of the operation at that time! ”

...............

In this way, the operability is very large, the only fly in the ointment is that the information on the American side is a little difficult to find, and it involves a little trouble, but this problem is not big, Zheng Xu still has the original version of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in the player, watch it a few more times, and reproduce some details!

We can also take advantage of this opportunity to not only satirize the evil psychology and cruel methods of the islanders in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, but also to satirize the disgusting things done by American politicians in order to achieve their own interests.

"In addition, our company can ask for special guidance from the outside world to popularize some knowledge related to maritime warfare, for example, I will give an example.

Our company has donated carrier-based fighters, and we also have acquaintances on the aircraft carrier Liaoning! We can ask these professionals to explain to us the professional knowledge of maritime operations, or can we use the Liaoning, let's go up and see for ourselves what kind of level the real aircraft carrier is when it sails or fights at sea.

Use these professionals to popularize to us, what is the difference between aircraft carrier operations a few decades ago and now?

How do we shoot when we get it? How to shoot this naval battle completely under the premise of being more accurate and in line with the historical situation.

This... Lao Zhang! You're going to have to worry about it then, you're our cameraman director. ”

Lao Zhang saw Zheng Xu by name, he seems to have lost this job now, but think about the script, think about it, think about it, there is still a hundred million waiting for him to earn...

"Okay... You can do whatever you want. ”

Lao Zhang looks like he has nothing to love, he now thinks back on his past few days, as if since Director Han found him, everything has developed in an uncontrollable direction.

Could it be that Director Han and Zheng Xu tricked him together?

No way...?

..................

"Good! Now the most important preparatory work is the script, have you written down all the points I just mentioned? Zhang Benyu. ”

"In! I've memorized everything, don't worry! Within half a month, the detailed script must be in place! ”

Zhang Benyu stood up expressionlessly and made a military order.

"Dogs?"

"Boss, don't worry, from today onwards, we will begin to prepare the model of the task force according to historical materials, and we will not delay the shooting!"

Seeing that Zheng Xu looked like him, Ding Goudan also hurriedly assured.

"Yes, the model is also very important. But what about special effects? ... Well, that's right, Wang Yi! ”

"Boss, I'm here!"

Wang Yi, the head of the short video department, sat relatively back, and when he heard Zheng Xu's roll call, he quickly got up and signaled.

"Hmm... Sit, sit down and say, I remember the big penguin supporting our programmers, didn't they help us make a new program with a short video? Are you done? It's been so long. ”

Wang Yi, who had just sat down, stood up again and said: "It's almost, because it's pushed to the beginning, there is no need to change our previous underlying logic, so the workload is relatively large, and now the new program is almost done, but there is a new problem here, if the user is allowed to update it directly, it is very troublesome for the data between two different programs to poke each other... Because this is equivalent to two new programs. ”

"Oh?"

Zheng Xu, who doesn't know much about this kind of thing, also feels a little troublesome when he hears this, and now the number of short video users has exceeded 10 million.

"Boss... We used a stupid method, we are manually transferring the data of old users, and so on to transfer the old data of a large number of users before, only a few days are left, when the time is approaching, notify in advance, choose a time point maintenance, leave enough time, and then transfer the data of the next few days, let the user update it directly, and the old program is forced to be scrapped. ”

...

ps: Emergencies, I originally wanted to write 8,000 words and then send it, but I was afraid that there would be an emergency situation that would not have time to send it for a while, so I sent it first.

Ladies and gentlemen, please be considerate.
