Chapter 67: I want to redefine the police movie

Luo Cheng, a resident judge of the Dragon Elephant Award, the most authoritative film award in Dragon Kingdom, a well-known filmmaker, screenwriter, and fifth-generation director leader, wrote on Twitter:

""Police Story" is undoubtedly Li Shenlong's return to the pinnacle, without the careful reasoning to solve the case, and the mother-in-law and mother without feelings, just a 'clean and neat', presenting everything the audience wants to see in the movie.

First of all, at the character level, Li Shenlong successfully created an image of a righteous, brave and hot-blooded policeman;

Secondly, the movie has dedicated a lot of wonderful action scenes and fight scenes, which are completely in line with what Li Shenlong said before the filming of the movie, 'fight with your life';

At the same time, in such a fierce style, Li Shenlong still did not lose the humorous elements that he is good at, adding a lot of fun to the exciting movie.

Although there are a few spoilers, I still have to say that the jump in the mall will become one of the most profound screen images in the hearts of fans and friends, even if it is ten or fifty years, it will not fade.

Finally, welcome Li Shenlong's 'return'! ”

......

In fact, it's not that Xu Song is a newcomer behind the scenes and is ignored, but it's just that "Police Story" is blamed, the story is really not brilliant.

And the many film reviews after the premiere do illustrate this, and no one says how good the script is. just praised Tang Huanan for being indeed a first-class director, and he was perfect in controlling the rhythm of the movie; praised Li Shenlong again, worthy of being the first action superstar in the Dragon Kingdom, and wonderful scenes emerge in endlessly; Of course, the two major actresses can't be missed, and they have praised not only their acting skills, but also their dedication, and they don't need stand-ins throughout the whole process.

In the end, Fukushima really couldn't watch it, so he bought some film critics and water army, saying that before Xu Song didn't write "Police Story", why did Brother Long have a poor box office reputation for several consecutive movies? So, the script is still important.

Li Shenlong and Tang Huanan are also very buddies, seeing these "rhythms" appearing on the Internet, but they didn't make any waves, they began to add fuel to the fire.

On Twitter, Li Shenlong: "Looking forward to cooperating with Xu Song again, there are still many follow-ups to "Police Story" that can be dug up." ”

In the publicity, Tang Huanan faced reporters and said more than once: "In fact, most of the action scenes in "Police Story" were supervised by Xu Song. Let me tell you one thing, if Xu Song is not present in the big scene, we will not shoot it, hahaha. ”

And this matter has also been confirmed by Zhang Man and Lin Xia.

After filming the MV of "The Lonely Brave", Zhang Man, who has a cheerful personality, also joked: "The reason why I dare to hit such a thick prop glass is because Xu Song told me, don't worry, I will marry you if I am disfigured." Hahaha, such a handsome guy is willing to marry me, don't talk about fake glass, I'll also go to real glass! ”

This undoubtedly brought Xu Song a lot of popularity, after all, "Police Story" won 4.5 billion box office during the seven-day New Year's holiday, accounting for almost half of the 10 billion box office, which is simply hot. Even the supporting roles are on fire, and Xu Song, who is highly praised by the main creator, can no longer be a role that no one cares about.

Of course, Xu Song's "fire" only exists in fame, and there is basically no substantive operation, anyway, no one asks him to write scripts and continue to design action scenes.

In addition to the movie, "The Strongest Masked Singer" was also a hot mess, and in the sixth episode on January 6, the comprehensive ratings broke 5.5. In addition to the two major files of Longguo TV's New Year's party on December 31 and October 1 every year, it has created a new record for the comprehensive ratings of variety shows.

Those who were eliminated without a face have risen in value, not to mention those who are still competing.

And the "Night Knight", the focus that will be mentioned in every issue, is even more inflammatory, and there are already countless merchants waving checks, waiting for the "Night Knight" to be revealed.

In their consciousness, the "Night Knight" who can "talk" with Hua Dad is at least a first-line singer or above, and it is impossible that the commercial value will not increase several times by taking advantage of the shareholder wind of "The Strongest Masked Singer".

There are even many professional music critics who bet: "The Night Rider's first album after the unveiling of the mask, if it doesn't go to three diamonds, I will eat upside down!" ”

However, at this time, the "Night Knight" was not polishing music, but "not doing his job", and went to Xiongxi Film Academy to enroll in a make-up class for drama, film and television literature.

There are so many movies in my head, I am unwilling not to use them!

However, Dragon Kingdom is the core stream of screenwriters, although screenwriters are highly paid, but in terms of requirements, at least much higher than Chinese screenwriters on the planet. In addition to using words to set the theme idea, character building, storyline, drama structure and expression of the film for the film, it is also necessary to have a sense of picture and three-dimensionality, that is, to be proficient in storyboards.

And this kind of second creation of the sub-scene script, in China, belongs to the director's work.

Of course, in Tianqiu, the director also has to draw another sub-shot according to his habits and perception of the script, and then correspond to the screenwriter's two compartments to make up for the shortcomings.

In the creation of "Police Story", Li Shenlong specially sent a professional screenwriter to help Xu Song, in addition to planning the structure of the play, on the other hand, through Xu Song's dictation, he drew various sub-scenes.

Xu Song could have continued to follow this pattern, but he was originally a stubborn character, and he appreciated the phrase "art is not pressing", so since he had time, why not learn this skill completely?

"Hahaha, Xiao Xu, I heard that you are taking a screenwriting class?" "Police Story" has a bumper harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth, which really makes Li Shenlong feel good.

"Yes, I signed up for a crash course in the winter season, not to mention, it's quite interesting." Xu Song had just finished dinner at home, and was randomly drawing a sub-shot according to a movie in his head.

"Do you have any thoughts on a sequel to Police Story?" This is the first reason why Li Shenlong called.

Xu Song immediately shook his head: "Brother Long, in fact, "Police Story" just provides you with a direction, that is, to make the movie return to simplification, there is no need to fill in so many elements into it, with your action scenes, it is enough to support an entertainment movie." So if you want to make a sequel, shoot it, I'm not interested. ”

"Oh, I thought you went to the class because you had a new idea." Li Shenlong had some regrets.

"There are definitely new ideas." Xu Song didn't hide it from Li Shenlong.

Li Shenlong was curious: "What type?" ”

Xu Song laughed twice, then replied according to the movie in his head: "A movie that can redefine the dragon language police film." ”

"A cop movie? Isn't that a police story? Li Shenlong was puzzled.

"A completely different entry point, okay?" Xu Song said honestly, "Didn't the outside world say that the script of "Police Story" is not good, I am purely because of your appreciation. I have to write a cop movie now, and let them see if the script I wrote will work! ”

Hearing this, Li Shenlong became interested: "Police and gangster films, I'm good at it, notify me when the script is written." ”

"No, no, you can't act in this movie, Brother Long." Xu Song directly denied it.

"Why?" Li Shenlong was puzzled.

Xu Song put down his pen, looked at the sub-shot of the two characters pointing guns at each other, and replied: "Because there are many literary dramas." ”

"Okay, you just say that my acting skills are not good." Li Shenlong was speechless.

"Who dares to say that Brother Long's acting skills are not up to par?" Xu Song said with a serious face, "It's just that the aura of an action superstar is too big, which covers up your acting skills, I watched your "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", and I cried to death." ”

"Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" is already Li Shenlong's movie 25 years ago, although it is also an action movie, but there are also a lot of literary dramas.

Li Shenlong, who plays the younger brother and is also a police officer, has to take care of a mentally handicapped older brother. The elder brother brought a lot of trouble to the younger brother in his usual life, and even affected his love, which made the younger brother miserable and had to take care of his brother. In the end, when facing the gangsters who came to take revenge, the elder brother died without hesitation to save his younger brother.

The film's explosive acting skills and explosive actions allowed Li Shenlong to win the second actor title, although there was no "Dragon Yin Award" at that time. And at this time, Li Shenlong went to Sunset City in Eagle Country and opened the road to an international movie star.

"You say this, I'm more interested in your script, I'll be notified when it's written, I want to see what role I can't play, what movie dare to redefine the dragon language police movie."

"Okay." Xu Song agreed.

He wasn't going to come up with this kind of king-level script so early, but since he said it, he wrote it.

Since "Infernal Affairs" can redefine Chinese police and gangster films on the earth, it can also bloom its own brilliance in the heavenly sphere.

"Hey, hey, Brother Song, don't patronize your studies, have you written this month's chart-topping songs?"

On January 10th, Xu Song had just finished school, and Lei Dong, who picked him up, had to bring up this topic.

When Lei Dong celebrated his birthday on December 27, Xu Song told him that he could resign. So he has been signing an internship brokerage contract, and after a few years, he came directly to the Fukushima brokerage department and became Xu Song's agent, and as soon as he signed it, it was a formal contract, who let this fat boy be the person handpicked by Xu Song.

"I really don't know what songs to write and who to sing." Xu Song was a little confused.

"Out of inspiration?" Lei Dong asked as he started the car.

"No, it's too many songs." Xu Song told the truth.

"Cut, cup, you write!" Lei Dong didn't believe it.

According to common sense, they have won 7 consecutive championships, and if you don't take out a song to compete for the 8th crown early?

"Well, in order to celebrate your visit to Fukushima, I will give you a chance, you will appoint a singer, I will write the song, and let him win the championship." Xu Song started to play again.

Lei Dong was a little moved, knowing that Xu Song was helping him establish his prestige, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Xu Song said "hey": "Can I joke with 8 consecutive championships?" ”

Lei Dong asked again: "It's okay if it's not from Fukushima?" ”

Xu Song was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, it's okay, I'm B-level, and there is no restriction in this regard." But when did you have a relationship with a singer out there asking me to write songs for him? ”

Lei Dong smiled: "Of course, he is a singer in Deep Sea Entertainment." ”

Xu Song: ???
