Chapter Ninety-Five: The reasons for nostalgia for life are simple
The results of the audit came out soon, and ninety-seven was approaching, and it was not allowed to release poison and kill people.
The staff who went to apply for approval also asked, since it is not appropriate to happen now, when is it appropriate, such as decades ago or decades later.
The reply is very clear: "It happened before liberation, there were no taboos, and it was normal for the water to be in dire straits, but it would not work decades later, how could the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
In this way, the script can only be changed, but there is no need to change it significantly.
Either the electric locomotive becomes a steam train, and the character modeling becomes modern and the Republic of China.
Either the time and place are alternate, the train shape is a little weird and surreal, and the characters are a little more retro, like a fantasy story, like Harry Potter.
Su Changqing didn't want to shoot Japanese zombies, it was too unserious, and he became the originator of the drama if he was not careful, and weakened the tragic connotation, it seems to be just a movie to entertain history.
"Train to Busan" begins with a deer resurrected after being killed, and the news broadcast in the background suggests that the biotech company material has been leaked.
Another South Korean hit movie, "Monster of the Han River", directly pointed to the biological mutation of the US military's biochemical experiments, and it was a solid basin.
Many disaster movies in South Korea have to be watched together, either related to the garrison or the inaction of politicians, and if you watch too much, you can naturally understand the source of their pathos.
"Foshan Xing" can also be handled in this way, anyway, it is the biological infection caused by the leakage of biochemical tests, whether he did it by the US army, the British army or the Japanese army, it is not a good thing, military zombies only need to wear military uniforms, and they don't need a system that matches reality.
In fact, on this escape train, the sharpest contradiction is not the battle for survival between humans and zombies, but between survivors.
In the face of death, human nature shines as much as it is dark.
So the background is not important, even zombies are just props, the so-called virus can be understood as war, and the point is to show humanity.
The biggest villain in the film is a middle-aged man who is traveling with him, when he does bad things but can't escape the infection, there is a monologue that says what is in his heart, he just wants to go back to take care of his mother alive, and his mother can't live without him.
The reason why everyone is nostalgic for life is very simple, and their position is different.
Su Changqing believes that as long as the core of human nature is expressed, this film will not be crooked.
In fact, there is an advantage to such a change, there are loopholes in the setting of the original film "Train to Busan", the peninsula is paralyzed by the virus, and the railway system that has lost central control should be a mess, but this stop-and-go escape train did not crash head-on or rear-end, and it was empty all the way and didn't even encounter other trains.
As a developed economy, it is unimaginable that the lifeblood of transportation is so depressed.
It is also unthinkable that this kind of thing will happen on the Beijing-Kowloon line, and it can only be used as an unavoidable setting loophole for some viewers to slap in the face.
If it is made into a Republic of China drama, it is very reasonable for the story to happen on the Kowloon-Canton Railway a few decades ago, there were no two trains a day, and you can't find an opponent if you want to collide.
If the time and place are alternate, and the story is fantastical, it doesn't matter.
In addition, the special effects are much simpler, and things that are out of reality are always better to deal with, and many of the current special effects plus some stupid methods can meet the shooting requirements.
"Jurassic Park" and "Forrest Gump" have both been released, and computer stunts have officially entered the movie, but the cost is sky-high, and the production of less than a million dollars like "Foshan Travel" can be used up in a few shots.
It seems that there are pros and cons to everything, and some things are forced to develop in a reasonable direction.
I can only comfort myself like this.
There are not many core characters in "Foshan Travel", the male protagonist has a five or six-year-old daughter, a strong man with a pregnant wife, a student couple, two elderly sisters, and then a middle-aged bad uncle and a group of selfish people who fall with the wind.
The heroine is set to Liu Bei, and the female student plans to let Zhou Xun play it, which should be appropriate, and the rest of the scenes are heavier, except for the male protagonist, who is a strong man and a bad uncle.
It's a bit difficult to choose someone to play the male lead, domestic actors are currently in short supply, and they have always lacked the sunny and tall ones in Korea, and then they are some handsome, but their temperament rarely meets the requirements of this play.
Su Changqing is handsome and tall, he originally wanted to learn from Jiang Wen's self-directed and self-acting, but he was reluctant to go to the front desk, and now Mu Mu can't go to the street casually, and he may be recognized at any time and it will be difficult to move an inch.
In addition, he is young, and it should be normal for a twenty-five-year-old person to have a five- or six-year-old daughter in the Republic of China or an alternate world, but the picture shown may not be understood and recognized by the audience.
In fact, the original drama has this problem, the male protagonist and the little girl are really not like father and daughter, it is more reasonable to say that it is his niece.
If you really have to act, you can change your niece.
At present, the domestic actor Su Changqing is more optimistic about Xu Yajun, ten years ago he became famous with Song Dandan with "Looking for the World Back", and won the Golden Eagle Award that year, which belongs to the juvenile ambition.
More than 20 years later, he played the role of Qi Tongwei, the director of the Metropolitan Police Department, in "In the Name of the People", and he became popular again, calculating that he is exactly 30 years old this year, and his age, appearance, and temperament seem to be more suitable.
The other is the dawn of Hong Kong, tall and handsome, currently twenty-seven or eighteen years old is red and purple, and the image age is also the same, that is, it is more gentle.
Su Changqing asked Siwei Film and Television to contact the two immediately to see if they were willing to cooperate.
As for the strong man and the bad uncle, it shouldn't be difficult to find, wait until the male protagonist is decided.
Regarding the investment in this film, Su Changqing was a little hesitant and unsure whether he should raise money.
Compared with two years ago, the cost of filming has risen a little, and he estimates that the cost of this film will be about 6 million, and if he can invite Liming to star, the budget will have to increase.
Hu Ji took more than 900,000 yuan to help him survive the fund shortage, and said at that time that he would invest in the next movie, which can't be said and doesn't count, so he has to raise five or six million to be more comfortable.
In the past six months, the release of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has made some money, and the benefits of Jingge and the four-dimensional camera structure are also good, even if they are still expanding, they have begun to have some surpluses, and it is not too difficult to come up with five million.
After all, film is a high-investment, high-risk industry, although there is a blessing, but no one can make money, it is more rational to spread risks, and the reasonable use of financing strategies can also maximize the profits of films.
Hollywood is undoubtedly more successful in this regard, but the financing method in the nineties is still relatively traditional, and the famous theory of relativity will not appear in a few years, even if Su Changqing understands its essence, but the business model of Wall Street funds introduced into Hollywood is certainly not suitable for the mainland and cannot be operated.
Even relatively simple share financing and pre-sale financing are still difficult to carry out in China, and if foreign capital cannot be introduced in a way other than the form of co-production, it is impossible to talk about the full internationalization of "Foshan Tour".
Then its final fate should be similar to "My Sassy Girlfriend", maybe the box office can be better.
Some limitations have not been solved after 30 years, and now they are even more difficult.
Unexpectedly, Liming declined to cooperate, he is currently touring Southeast Asia, and after returning to Hong Kong, he will co-star with Wu Qianlian in "Urban Love", followed by Wong Kar-wai's "Fallen Angel", and at the same time to open a fashion drama on TVB, if you want to cooperate, you can only schedule until the last quarter of 95, and then there is "Sweet Honey" with Maggie Cheung waiting.
The market in Hong Kong is really prosperous at this time, and the schedule is scheduled to be two years later, and the other party said very politely: "It's a pity to miss the cooperation with Director Su, but the contract that has been signed must be complied with, and the schedule is really unscheduled." ”
If you can't adjust the schedule, then there's no way.
However, Xu Yajun is willing to meet and talk.
However, as soon as he saw him in person, Su Changqing realized that it might not be suitable, and his memory was a little less reliable.
