111 What was the change of "Pacific Rim"?
Is "Pacific Rim" or "Pacific Rim" from another time and space?
Not all, of course, because he made drastic changes.
Of course, the basic framework of the original "Pacific Rim" has not changed, that is, there is a time node somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, and then big monsters are scurrying out of it, and the shape of these monsters is also the original setting.
Why did Pacific Rim change? Because where is the ability to compete with another time and space, does it seem that he can change the script?
Of course not, because it doesn't work if it doesn't change, and if it doesn't change, there is no way to make the movie both a domestic film and an international market.
The Americans took the lead in defeating the monsters, and then the Americans saved the world, a Hollywood original recipe, right?
So how? How do the domestic audience explain?
If you explain to the audience that 'the cost is so big, you can only recover the cost by doing a good job in the Hollywood model' to prevaricate the domestic audience and the media? Although the audience and the media can understand it, they always feel that this is a change of concept.
There will definitely be a sense of disappointment about where you are.
Therefore, there must be a strong Chinese element.
Why?
Of course he solved it, which is one of the reasons why all parties were satisfied after he wrote the script in the first place.
The new story framework looks like this:
In 2019, China, the United States, and Russia became the three poles of the world, and the warships and armies of the three countries often confronted and friction in the Pacific Ocean and provoked each other.
And just this time, in the confrontation in the Pacific Ocean, all of a sudden all the electronic equipment of the trilateral fleet became unstable, the sea became restless, the center of the Pacific Ocean protruded and a spatial rift, and the huge waves protruded, and suddenly out of the huge waves came a big monster, similar to Godzilla, but not Godzilla.
In an instant, the top formations of the three countries in the Pacific Ocean were attacked, and the aircraft carrier formations of the three countries carried out three-dimensional strikes on this monster, but to no avail.
The plane's missiles don't work, but it's very protected and it can shoot super highlight.
The monster moves as it fights, moving quickly towards a target. As soon as everyone analyzed the route, it turned out that it was heading for Tokyo Bay, and sure enough, after the global notification of the incident, viewers around the world saw this monster entering Tokyo Bay in the live broadcast.
Seeing that the island nation's Tokyo Bay was about to be destroyed, China, the United States, and Russia had to unite, and they decided to use nuclear weapons to destroy this monster.
Eventually, the monster was defeated, but just as the people were cheering for victory, a monster appeared on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Los Angeles.
The United States had to drop a nuclear bomb on it......
But this is only the beginning, the surrounding countries of the Pacific Ocean are full of monsters, so the three countries have become the busiest countries, they send aircraft carriers and bombers everywhere to destroy the enemy.
Although some monsters have been destroyed, these monsters are extremely poisonous, and the entire Pacific Rim countries have been plunged into a tragic state of virus invasion.
Humans have to deal not only with monsters, but also with viruses, and the year after the monsters entered the world into the year of the virus.
Some scientists proposed to destroy the place where the monster first appeared, and knocking out the space node could prevent the monster from entering, but this plan attracted the opposition of many experts, worried that the space node would not be knocked out but would be opened.
But in the end, the P5 agreed to knock out the space node, so China, the United States, and Russia sent a detection team, found the node, and saw more monsters that seemed to want to break through the node.
So under everyone's ridicule, China, the United States, and Russia took out 1,000 nuclear bombs from their respective collections and threw them in.
Finally blew up the node, but it still exists.
They didn't dare to bet on whether they would be able to destroy the node by continuing to drop nuclear bombs, and after calculations, they came up with two results.
The first is to completely blow up this unstable node, and the second is that this node is on the verge of a new outbreak, as long as a little external force may make the node fully expanded.
So further actions were discontinued.
Now the earth needs time, and it needs to figure out how to deal with the monsters. This thing can only be destroyed with nuclear bombs, and no missiles or planes are used, but excessive use of nuclear bombs is very unfriendly to human beings and the ecology of the earth.
Finally, through everyone's efforts, they finally came up with a way to create a weapon that can rival monsters, similar to their abilities, such as defense, attack, flexibility, etc.
Through the final argument, the ultimate form of this weapon is - mecha.
So China, the United States, and Russia all started the construction of mechas, and after three years of hard work, in 2022, the virus was basically controlled, and the mecha of the three countries were also built.
At this time, the Pacific Ocean submarine space node was about to be broken by the monsters, and at the moment when the monsters finally rushed out, the mecha warriors of the three kingdoms came.
China's mecha warriors are slender, but they are flexible, fast, and versatile, but their absolute attack and defense are not the strongest.
American mecha is too sci-fi, with strong comprehensive ability, but not flexible, and the absolute strength is not enough, but it can fight back and forth with monsters.
Russia's mecha has the strongest absolute power, but it is shut down, the basic industrial capacity is too weak, and the quality of the products produced is unstable.
The mecha of the three kingdoms have their own characteristics, but they also have their own problems.
Although they barely eliminated the little monsters that escaped from the node, for those few big monsters who watched over, such a mecha would definitely not work.
As a result, the three countries decided to develop several joint mechas, the kind that integrates the strengths of the three countries.
But time is running out now, and experts predict that this big monster will be able to conflict nodes in three months at most. Therefore, the Combined Warframe must be produced within three months.
This task can only be accomplished by China, so the experts of the three countries began to quarrel in China, argue, and disagree with each other.
Finally, at the initiative of China, the advantages of the three countries were integrated, while the respective characteristics of the three countries were retained.
For example, the Chinese warframe focuses on flexibility, speed, and concentration of strength, and specializes in the weaknesses of monsters, which are called assassins.
The American armor is mainly science fiction, can be transformed, has both offense and defense, and can entangle opponents, called the main attacker.
The main strength of the Russian armor is sufficient, it can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments, carry the beating, but the beating is also powerful, although it always misses, but once it hits the absolute damage value is full, it is called a heavy gunner.
So, in the final battle, in the face of the big monsters rushing over, the mecha of the three countries cooperated with each other, the American mecha entangled the opponent with the main attack, the Russian mecha was responsible for the gravity blow to knock out the opponent's combat effectiveness, and the Chinese mecha was responsible for the final fatal blow, resulting in the loss of the opponent's life.
……
Thus, the first part of "Pacific Rim" ended.
It is a perfect solution to the idea that there are both Hollywood stars, Chinese stars, and Chinese elements, and even the theme is in line with Chinese culture's 'harmony is win-win', and people all over the world unite to deal with the big monster.
This is the point that all parties were very satisfied with after He Fang came up with the script at that time, because there was nothing wrong with the script and it was highly operable.
This is a group drama movie, there is no absolute male and female protagonist, and a total of three pairs of mecha operators are set up to be responsible for the battle, representing China, the United States and Russia.
The Chinese mecha operator is named Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, and this one has already signed a contract. The female operator's name is Long Xiaoyun, played by Fan Bingbing, no way, for the sake of the box office, who chose Fan Bingbing, who can afford it except her?
Originally, Zhang Ziyi could, but Zhang Ziyi had been cleared out of the cooperation list by He Fang. Of course, Li Bingbing can also do it, but it is better to use Li Bingbing than Fan Bingbing, at least Fan Bingbing can discuss the luminous script at night.
Zhou Xun's acting skills are good, but he is too short to be put in an international commercial blockbuster.
Of course, there is also a Zhao Yanzi, this can't be used, right?
After all, Fan Bingbing can still fight.
In addition to a Chinese mecha pilot, there is also a pair of Americans, the man is named Raleigh Baker, played by the famous actor Chris Hemsworth, and the female is called Sally, played by actor Bryce Dallas Howard.
The Russian mecha pilot is called Yuri and is played by Channing Tatum, and the female is called Natasha and is played by Amber Heard.
In addition to these six mech pilots in the starring role, there are also three countries that have as many commander scenes as the six mech operators.
The Chinese commander is called Luo Qiang and is played by Hou Yong, the American commander is called George Rooney and played by Jason Statham, and the Russian commander is called Ivanov and played by John Malkovich.
The other characters with more scenes are the mecha engineers of the Three Kingdoms, because there are more mecha scenes in this play, so the appearance rate of the engineers must also be guaranteed.
The Chinese mecha engineer was played by Zhu Yilong, and the other two countries went to the United States to select actors this time.
With this story and this cast, He Fang is confident that his version of "Pacific Rim" can not only win the box office internationally, but also at the domestic box office.
If you want to play, you can play hard.
……
So, why are you coming to the United States this time?
Of course, it's to meet the actors, and it's important to meet Cameron, because he really needs Cameron's guidance, he has never made 3D movies, and he has no experience in making sci-fi blockbusters.
Although I have interned in the crew of "Avatar", how many things have I only been exposed to?
It's like you used to intern at a fighter factory as an assistant to the chief designer, but that means you can build a fighter?
The movie is about to start, so he wants to learn from the experience and study hard.
The other is that some actors and some technical things he still has to come to the United States to determine, such a movie involves a wide range of aspects, including the production of mecha in the end.
There are many questions, and who needs to come to the United States to solve some of them.
"Hey, he, I didn't expect that I hadn't seen you for eight months, and you took the Palme d'Or, unbelievable, so surprising." When he saw He Fang, Cameron gave He Fang a warm hug.
"Ha, I was surprised too, I couldn't believe it."
"Okay, then let's have a good discussion about your "Single Zoo", I watched the CD you sent me, and I watched it four or five times. Although the plot in the second half is a little regrettable, it is still very amazing overall......"
The two didn't talk about how to shoot a sci-fi blockbuster, but first talked about "Single Zoo", which really didn't make He Fang expect.
In He Fang's opinion, he really just made a movie casually, and then accidentally won the award, what he expressed to the outside world was: he felt that it was a fluke.
However, there are different views in the industry, and many filmmakers are very recognized by the film's wild ideas and its artistic value.
Maybe I haven't met some filmmakers from other countries, but there are many directors who are studying, analyzing, and lamenting "Single Zoo", and they are repeatedly studying the artistic value of "Single Zoo".
If you let him know that someone is frantically studying and interpreting repeatedly, he may uncomfortably pick a three-bedroom and two-living room with his toes.
However, art films are so strange that the audience doesn't like them, and those filmmakers study them repeatedly.
"He, don't you want to get to know Leonardo? I'll help you make an appointment with him to see him tomorrow, and you can arrange the place. ”
"Huh, really? That's great, I'll book a restaurant later, and I'll tell you when I'm booked, how about a Chinese restaurant? He asked.
"Of course, the taste of the Chinese food I had last time I went to China is still lingering. Is the Chinese food here authentic? ”
"Yes, it depends on who eats, if the Chinese go to eat can ask to make authentic, if the Americans go to eat, then they will make something that suits the taste of the Americans."
"Let's make an authentic Chinese taste." Cameron happily decided.
"Okay, then wait for my news."
After saying goodbye to Cameron, back at the villa, Du Chunsheng asked him if he wanted to go to a party at night, and someone happened to invite him to a party.
"Who? I don't go to the bad parties, I don't go to the people who smoke marijuana and drugs, the same sex or the transgender people, I have to pay attention to the image. He Fang waved his hand.
"Huh, really? There's Emma Roberts tonight, are you sure you don't want to get to know him? ”
He Fang was stunned, hiss, one of the four little flowers in the United States, do you want to meet him?
"If you want to say that, I'll make it difficult for me. Tell me, who formed the game, and why did they bring Emma Roberts here? ”
He asked.
"Let's go, talk as we go......"
Tonight's organizer is called Chris Bender, and I heard that I want to make a comedy and gather a batch of fresh meat and flowers, so I formed tonight's game.
He Fang asked Du Chunsheng how he was invited, because Du Chunsheng told Chris Bender that there was an opportunity to help him get movies to China to earn box office, and he could bring China's big names over.
"......" He Fang was directly speechless, it turned out that he was going around and around, and he was used as a shield. However, it is somewhat understandable that this is the producer bragging in the circle, promising others how to show their strength in exchange for other resources they want.
Besides, he wasn't sold, and whether he helped or not was a matter of whether he was willing or not.
"It's not that you don't know when you're messing around in Hollywood, it's just that resources are exchanged, and you often exchange some resources here, so that people in Hollywood will help you speak. Besides, Chris Bender told me that if you can handle the Chinese market, Emma Roberts will be yours tonight, whatever you want. ”
"Hey, can he pull Emma Roberts' pimp? Don't you set me up, do you? He Fang squinted and said.
"Don't worry, he has already told Emma Roberts, as long as you promise that you will wait tonight, for their films, and for Emma herself to open up the Chinese market, she agrees. What's more, you're still a director of the Palme d'Or, maybe there will be cooperation in the future? Why wouldn't she? ”
Du Chunsheng said while driving.
"Is this party just for me tonight?"
"Half and half."
