Chapter 42: Able to write

Li Mu asked the taxi to stop directly in the supermarket not far from the community, and then went to buy ingredients such as fat beef, green vegetables, meatballs, duck blood, etc., and he prepared a one-person shabu-shabu tonight.

And he also specially bought a piece of tofu, when the time came, he ate the fat cow in the hot pot, and then grabbed the white and tender tofu in his hand and cut it comfortably with a knife and put it into the hot pot, and finally he could sing a little song while eating: Eat pickles and roll tofu, the emperor is old, not as good as me.

Li Mu bought three houses in Beijing some time ago, two off-plan houses and one second-hand. Now he lives in this second-hand house when he comes to Beijing on a business trip. The former owner and his wife went abroad with their children, with all the furniture and appliances, and Li Mu bought a few bedding and pillows and moved in.

After dinner, Li Mu sat in front of the computer and began to meditate: "The King of Kung Fu" he can't write, and he won't change it, it's too difficult, and he asks for his own hardship.

But what else can he copy besides "The King of Kung Fu"?

No, really no, Li Mu thought about it for a long time, and finally had to come to the following conclusion - there is no movie in this world that can meet such harsh conditions!

He had searched through the library of films in his mind, but wanted to find a movie that satisfies both protagonists, has the same roles, is both good guys, has a peak showdown, is a global hit, and is an action movie, but he finds that this kind of movie does not exist at all.

It's not a question of whether it's difficult at all, it's simply not possible.

There is no such movie in the world - since there is no way to copy it, it can only be changed, the question is, who is the magic change?

You can't change "Kung Fu Panda", right?!

Absolutely not!

Or "Captain America"?

Or Iron Man?

Or just copy "The Avengers"?

Neither!

The top blockbusters in the United States in the next twenty years are basically manga, what should Li Muneng do?

Since there are too many qualifications, we can only find ways to meet them one by one.

The two protagonists, both are good people, have comparable scenes, are global hits, and have a peak showdown - Li Mu decided to find the movie with the most options among the above five conditions first, and then make magic changes to the plot that does not meet the conditions.

League of Assassins!

Li Mu suddenly thought of this action movie, starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, who played Professor X in his youth in "X-Men".

In fact, "League of Assassins" is also a comic adaptation, but this comic is very niche, basically few people can know that it is, and the comic has a serious self-congratulatory nature, the most important thing is that the plot of the comic has long been changed by the movie and he doesn't even know his own mother.

Li Mu felt that he would not overturn this movie.

To put it more bluntly, the League of Assassins comics is an anti-superhero work.

In the setting of the comics, the superheroes who represent black and white love each other and fight each other happily.

Then after a decisive battle that decided the survival of good and evil, the super-criminal gang completely defeated the superheroes, and the victorious super-criminal gang erased the memory of the people of the world for this period of history with black technology.

Since then, the existence of good and evil superheroes has become an absolute secret known only to the ruling class, that is, the top villains.

In the world of League of Assassins comics: justice is dead, only evil is eternal!

The main story of this comic is the story of how the protagonist Wesley transitioned from an ordinary person to a supervillain, and finally reached the pinnacle of life.

In the comics, the defeated superheroes ended up extremely miserable, and the superheroes who resembled Superman suffered from Alzheimer's disease after being defeated, and became a waste person who could only sit in a wheelchair and even had to be served by people to pee, and Batman was also constantly used by the comic book authors to make fun of it.

The main character, Wesley, begins to be the same as at the beginning of the movie, and then his father's lover, the fox, suddenly appears and kills all the passers-by on the street, leaving the protagonist alone.

Only then does the protagonist learn the truth about this world - this is a world ruled by supervillains, and his daddy killer has just been killed by his enemies in indulgence not long ago.

So will the protagonist choose to continue to live in the nest in the future, or will he train himself to be a supervillain?

The protagonist, of course, chooses the latter!

In order to exercise his ability to play on the spot, the protagonist Wesley even shot ordinary passers-by in the crowd at will, and made his marksmanship more and more perfect by constantly killing people who had nothing to do with him on a large scale, and killing innocents indiscriminately.

Wesley soon became the world's deadliest killer, and he began to kill people for his professors.

The professor gave Wesley an interesting job shortly after; In a newly discovered parallel universe, time is still stuck in the 80s, the villains have not yet conquered the world, and the heroes are still active.

Under the Professor's command, Wesley, Fox, and other Brotherhood villains begin to invade parallel worlds in a grand way to get the loot they need.

This comic has actually hit a parallel world, can you believe it?

Wesley slaughtered Superman first and then Batman, turning this parallel world upside down. At this time, he was completely intoxicated by the thrill of fighting and killing.

In the end, Wesley still killed his father, who he thought was dead, and only then did he learn that it was all his father's conspiracy.

The protagonist's father feels that his health is getting worse and worse as he gets older, so he tells his lover Fox to train his son to be a supervillain killer, and he longs for himself to die at the hands of his own son instead of being embarrassed by the guns of the enemy.

In the end, after learning the whole truth, the protagonist Wesley resolutely pulls the trigger on his biological father.

The movie is already a magic change, and Li Mu has changed it again, and the plot is basically completely unrelated to the original comics.

The two main characters, both good guys, the same scenes, global hits, and peak showdowns - the "League of Assassins" movie satisfies at least three of these five conditions.

They are all good people - the protagonists in the movie, father and son, are both decent characters, that's for sure.

A global hit - "League of Assassins" grossed $340 million worldwide, ranking around 15th in the global box office ranking that year, which is already a very high number.

Peak duel - The protagonist's father and son have fought several times, and each other has the ability to make bullets turn, and even bullets can be fired, which can definitely be regarded as a peak duel.

There are also two places that are not satisfied: one is that it does not meet the conditions for the equivalent role, and the other is that it does not meet the settings of the two protagonists.

The protagonist of this film is definitely the son.

But Li Mu admits that these two articles are not impossible to modify.

In the original movie, the protagonist and the killer are father and son, which is obviously not suitable for the identity of Cheng Long and Li Lian, so Li Mu decided to modify the setting to two brothers.

As the elder brother, Cheng Long has been carefully guarding his younger brother Li Lian's life as an ordinary person, until he discovers that the names of the members of the killer organization appear on the loom.

Then there is the problem of scenes, so that Li Lianlian's scenes will definitely be more than Cheng Long's, but this is also a way to solve it, just add a story line about his brother Cheng Long.

The background of the story should still be placed abroad, and at the same time retain the setting of the loom religion in the movie, which was born in Britain more than 1,000 years ago, and Li Mu has no problem writing it into it.

Writing a script is like this, when you don't have an idea, you can't write a word for half a month, but once you determine the general idea, then the rest of the matter will become very simple.
