286 Adjustments to the Ring-Pacific script
The ending of the plot has been changed from love to friendship.
Or, strictly speaking, it doesn't fully show love.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist floated to the surface of the sea, did not die, had a happy ending, and then ended, without specifically mentioning it.
There are also changes to the character design and character background.
In Lu Ping'an's new script, the male protagonist lost his brother like the original time and space, and the female protagonist lost her parents.
Among them, the heroine's parents are mecha pilots, and they are husband and wife partners like the Russian mecha Chernoalpha.
The two died in the Battle of Modu and were adopted by their parents' comrade-in-arms, the Black General.
What has evolved from this is that the new mecha after the male and female protagonists become partners will also be different.
The new mecha is reassembled and upgraded from the parts of the male protagonist's original "Dangerous Wanderer" and the female protagonist's parents' "Xuanniao".
In terms of styling, it will be more streamlined on the basis of the original, with some more elements of ancient Chinese armor.
In short, handsome is over.
The two mechs are of the same generation, and the new mecha is the only nuclear-powered mecha in the film, just like the original.
Later, the male and female protagonists understood each other's past, successfully completed the neuronal connection to form a partner, and finally the two jointly named the new machine "Nirvana (English name Phoenix)".
This also implies the rebirth of the two and their respective mechas, as well as the plot at the end of the film where the Nirvana enters the wormhole and detonates, giving the entire human race a new life.
Except for this change, the rest of the mechs and names have been retained.
There are not many mecha that appeared in the first part of the original version, such as Australian father and son, Russian husband and wife, male and female protagonists, as well as Storm Red and a few that flashed at the beginning.
The general plot of these mechs will not change, except for the Storm Crimson.
This mecha is extremely powerful, and in the official information of the original version, it ranks second among all mechs in the number of kills, but it does not have many scenes in the original movie.
It's not entirely accurate to say that Storm Crimson died from lack of funding, and the money can only affect its duration in the movie, such as the battle that should have belonged to it, showing its combat abilities in detail.
But Storm Crimson still has to be sacrificed in the end, which is to serve the plot.
Now that Lu Ping'an comes, its ending will be the same, but at least it can play a tiger and a tiger, such as the left-handed ion cannon, which has to be shot.
It doesn't take much more than five minutes at most.
In terms of casting, Storm Crimson is a triplet operation, which also makes the casting task very arduous, but fortunately, there are always capable people, and the domestic producer Fang Guangguang found the right triplets the next day.
They will speak pure Chinese lines in battle.
In the rest of the roles, the actors of the Russian husband and wife have changed, but they also have the appearance characteristics of the Russian fighting nation.
Cai Tiantong's actor is played by "Xiucai" Yu Entai, Lu Ping'an's requirement for this role is that he must pass the test in spoken English, after all, it is the command system, but in this way, few people in internal entertainment echo it, so Huantai was cast a few days ago, and the English column blocked most of the actors, and finally Yu Entai picked up the leak.
This person's age, English speaking ability, acting skills, and image are all suitable, and most domestic actors only have envy for him, and it should indeed be his.
Among the rest of the actors, there will be more Chinese faces without lines in the combat command room than in the original version.
The base's security forces are also a mix of black, white and yellow.
What stands out is a mess, after all, the end of the world has to be a little messy.
In terms of plot, at the end of the final, there were also changes to the sacrifice scene of the male and female protagonists.
Lu Ping'an's version is: Both of them have the courage to sacrifice, but because the heroine's combat uniform was damaged in the previous battle, the pressure in the combat suit was insufficient, and it was impossible to transition oxygen to the male protagonist, so he could only watch the male protagonist smile and take the first step, transfer his oxygen to the female protagonist, and then send her to escape, and then the male protagonist completed the final task by himself.
In this plot, Lu Ping'an originally wanted to switch roles.
For example, the heroine who represents China is used to sacrifice, implying China's fearlessness in the face of disasters.
But considering that this is an international blockbuster mainly for North America, in the end, I feel that it remains the same.
It's just that the heroine's role has been increased, for example, before taking the initiative to transition oxygen and preparing to sacrifice, she first came up with a solution, and she didn't hesitate to prepare to implement it, but the male protagonist saw through it, and the male protagonist nodded his head and signaled that the neurons were still connected, you can't hide it from me.
Then cleanly complete the transition, force the heroine to escape and a series of operations.
At this point,Lu Ping'an also set up a foreshadowing,That is, the male protagonist's brother at the beginning of the sacrifice also encountered a similar danger.,The elder brother used Mali's action to operate the mechanism at the time of life and death so that he didn't implicate the younger brother.,When the younger brother reacted,,The elder brother has been thrown into the air by the beast.。
Now the male owner has accepted his brother's inheritance, and Mali operates the mechanism, so that the female owner can be escaped without reacting.
To say metaphor?
Perhaps it is the United States in the future that handed over the baton to China.
Lu Ping'an said: Don't guess, I never engage in metaphors.
That's all for the plot changes.
As for filming, it is just a matter of changing some lines according to the plot.
The next shot was also simple.
Most of the scenes can be done in the studio.
Piloting a mecha in the "Mecha Cockpit", cultural dramas and martial arts competitions in the base, and so on.
The rest is the Monster cult scenes, the seaside scenes, and the rest of the exterior scenes.
Some of the exterior parts are to be filmed in the old United States.
Overall, there are very few location scenes, less than 10%.
The highlight is about 60% of the fight scenes, and that's the special effects.
Therefore, the overall literary drama can be done in a month and a half or even a month at most.
The special effects are already being done, and a year is enough.
"Alright, let's mobilize for the first scene today, pony, go try your suit."
Lu Ping'an clapped his hands, and the audience quickly entered the working state.
And Matt Damon and others also felt at home for the first time.
It's not the feeling of being licked.
But although most of the crew are Chinese, the atmosphere and work rhythm of the crew are almost the same as those of Hollywood crews.
So this is a Hollywood crew, right?
"Hurry, hurry, ponies!"
"OK, soon."
Matt Damon was shouted by Lu Ping'an, instantly returned to his senses, and began to work.
Half an hour later, Matt Damon came out in a combat suit.
Matt Damon's combat suit size was measured when he was in the United States.
The data was sent back home, and it only took one day for the props team to change the costume, and now Matt Damon fits it perfectly.
And what attracts more attention than fitting is "handsome"!
The new black combat uniform is full of futuristic mechanical feeling.
Then the rest of the "pilots" also appeared in mechs.
Liu Qianqian's combat uniform is the same as Matt Damon's.
In terms of appearance, Lu Ping'an slightly refined her buttocks and breasts to make them more concave and convex.
This also made Liu Qianqian blush at that time.
But the effect is very good.
It's not as exaggerated as anime cosplay, but it's also sharp and capable, with beautiful lines and full of mechanical beauty.
Then the rest of the drivers also appeared.
Black, red, white, gray, as soon as several sets of combat uniforms appeared, the entire studio was filled with a sci-fi atmosphere.
