Coquettish Rebirth

What exactly Cheng Long wants to do, and how he wants to combine the tough guy with his "deconstructive hero" are very complicated issues.If you are discussing this matter with others, you may be able to settle it with a few hours of phone calls or a few days of conversation, but it is not possible between Jia Hongjian and Cheng Long. The reason is very simple. Cheng Long is not proficient in Mandarin after all. There are many times when the words do not express the meaning, and because the education level is relatively low, and he has not been to serious school, the expression is not very logical. In many cases, even if he has thoughts in his heart, he cannot express them or find them. Finding an appropriate way to express it made Jia Hongjian very anxious.

So in the end, Jia Hongjian simply decided to go to Hong Kong in person!Just after Hong Kong returned to Hong Kong, Jia Hongjian went to apply for the Hong Kong and Macau Pass just in case.His Hong Kong and Macau travel permit is not the same as the personal permit for frequent travel to Hong Kong and Macau in later generations. It is a business visa visa, which is valid for 5 years at a time, and can go back and forth multiple times a year, but each time is only limited to 7 days.So when Jia Hongjian was going to Hong Kong, there was no need to find someone to do it temporarily. Here, the documents and clothes were ready, and he just picked up his bag and left!

When he arrived in Ganggang, of course it was Cheng Long who came to receive him. Cheng Long took Jia Hongjian to the Intercontinental Hotel in Ganggang.As for the Intercontinental Hotel, it is a classic five-star hotel, very luxurious.When Jia Hongjian moved in, he didn't go through any formalities, and Cheng Long helped him to do it—they directly bought Jia Hongjian a presidential suite!Why didn't Cheng Long arrange Jia Hongjian to live with him?It's very simple!Who is Mr. Jia?Although it is the second generation, they are also the richest Chinese family!His status is higher than Cheng Long's!Did he receive Jia Hongjian and send him to the hotel?Can this be taken home?Only friends with similar status can bring it home!Jia Hongjian, this is the boss!To use an inappropriate analogy, it’s like the boss of the company is going on a business trip and asks the employee to help book a hotel in another place. The employee can say——Oh boss, my hometown is over there, and it happens that our house has an empty bedroom. How about Are you staying with us?How decent is this!What if the boss wants to find a special service, and come with a full set?Did the employees' parents see all this?Yes or no?

After Jia Hongjian entered the suite.As soon as you put the things away, sit down and start chatting with Cheng Long. "Brother Cheng Long, come and tell me, what do you think?" Cheng Long smiled at this time, and then said a little seriously: "I think so... I am determined not to do it The same thing as others, because you also know that my experience is different from others. I think it is unique to make money! But on the other hand, it must meet the requirements of the audience. You have to guess What do audiences want? American audiences have their needs, Hong Kong audiences have their own needs, and mainland audiences also have their own needs, so how do I try to meet the three needs and still have my own characteristics? What? I’m worrying about this right now. You know, I grew up in Hong Kong, I haven’t been abroad much, and my English is terrible. The English teacher teaches, so I really can't figure out the taste of foreigners, so I can only rely on Tang Jili..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian nodded, although he knew what Cheng Long was struggling with.But to help Cheng Long solve this tangle, you need to know something deeper!It's like saying that we met a girl who is not interested in us, that the two of us are not suitable, we can't just accept the word inappropriate and let it go.We need to understand more deeply, we need to know which aspect the girl is dissatisfied with, right?Only in this way can the reversal be possible!We need to know what the girl doesn't like before we can change it, unless the girl says we like her and she can change it.

"Well, let's continue...why do you feel troubled?" Jia Hongjian asked. "I was thinking, how can I combine the image of a hero with my idea of ​​being different from others. But there are difficulties in this process. You are talking about the martial arts movies of Bruce Lee's era. They are all tough guys. , and then my "Snake-shaped Hand" is the kind that hits others and hits itself. The protagonist also feels pain, which is different from other heroes. I think such a thing is more reasonable Yes...Although movies are generally unreasonable, like fighting, if you really use a stool to fight fakes, there are so many tricks, just copy it and hit the other party, but we have to fight very fancy, very Looks good. It doesn’t matter how impractical these tricks are in real fights, as long as they look good, it’s like something in Peking Opera, you have to pay attention to appearance, you have to pay attention to that...that kind of style!”

Well, it makes sense, it makes sense, but why does this feel crooked? Hey!What you are talking about is entanglement, okay, not the truth and falsehood in the movie, okay!Jia Hongjian resisted the urge to remind Cheng Long, and continued to listen, only listening to Cheng Long talking about a lot of differences between him and others, and how he dealt with truth and falsehood—for example, Other people’s movies have many small details. For example, the hero is chased into a dead end by bad guys. Then other people’s movies may be watching the hero reach a dead end. Turn the camera and start shooting the bad guy. Then the bad guy went to the place where the hero was before. After they got to the place, they found that the hero had disappeared. When they left, they realized that the hero climbed several meters high with his arms and legs supporting the walls on both sides.

But as for Cheng Long, he would follow the protagonist all the way to shoot, and then let the protagonist look left and right after reaching a dead end, or even pat left and right with his hands. This is a reminder that the audience wall can be used, and then the protagonist then Climb up with both hands and feet... Cheng Long also gave many examples to show the difference between him and others, such as many of his small movements and facial expressions in front of the camera, which are all intentional to remind the audience, so that the audience feel that the protagonist takes the lead. The action of coming down is very reasonable!

For example, in "Who Am I", the protagonist jumped from the sloping roof on the top of the 21st floor building, and after the jump finally stabilized, he had to break the glass to get in.But the protagonist punched the household a few times, and did not smash it directly like other movies. This is the pursuit of the realism of details-in fact, it is really difficult and painful to break the glass, especially the thicker glass with an empty fist. !Then, Cheng Long punched a few times and felt pain. When he rubbed his hands, he found that the animal tooth necklace brought from an African tribe was just tied to his wrist, so he broke the glass while holding the animal tooth necklace. [

So generally speaking, this Cheng Long pays attention to "cool" and "cool" in some places and ignores authenticity, but more often, he wants to be different from others.In order to make the audience feel more real, and more refreshing and cool in the real background, he will enhance the authenticity of the details.After talking about this, Cheng Long said bitterly, "So, what I'm struggling with now is this. My protagonist should be an ordinary person. If you watch my other movies, the protagonists are all ordinary people. I feel as afraid of pain as ordinary people. I think this is the same as the audience. At most, I have more courage and a sense of justice than others. As a tough guy, the protagonist may also rely more on courage to survive. Rather than talking with others It’s like a famous star, who pretends not to hurt even though it hurts. It’s not like the protagonist in my "Drunken Master" is not afraid of pain after drinking alcohol! So this kind of request that the protagonist be an ordinary person and at the same time be afraid of pain, and there is this kind of tough guy After the requirements are combined, I don't know what kind of "role" this kind of character is, and I can't see the face of this person..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian suddenly felt something!This feeling is very subtle, it is a kind of inspiration after being guided by Cheng Long's words and expressions - he didn't explain what Cheng Long was struggling with, but he came up with a similar solution Methods! "So it's like...you want to combine the pain of normal people and the sense of normal people that a lot of the lowest-level people have with the toughness of superheroes...that is. The body is tough, but the mind is normal... That kind of feeling in the body is like an ordinary person? Or, is it a bit like the feeling of a movie star coming to reality from the screen? It feels like breaking the glass of the car door suddenly is difficult and painful, but more relying on Spirit and courage to endure?"

"That's right! What you said is very good! This is very good! I'll write this down!" Cheng Long's eyes lit up when he heard this!Jia Hongjian actually proposed a solution to his previously puzzling dilemma!That's right, if a hero from a martial arts movie is suddenly summoned or brought into the real world by other means, the difficulty of suddenly facing the real scene.And express that sense of justice and courage and patience.This is the combination of Cheng Long's routine and Hollywood!Mr. Jia is really awesome!

However, when Cheng Long was so excited.But I saw Jia Hongjian shaking his head, "No, this subject has been done by others, and the market response is not good. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a "Phantom Hero" in 93, and it was about A child suddenly enters his favorite action movie, then the bad guy from the movie comes out, and then Arnold from the movie comes out with the child..."

"That's right...there will be a lot less surprises this way...then is there any other way..." Cheng Long was also tangled up at this time.Jia Hongjian silently called out the solution. According to Cheng Long's statement, he just wanted the combination of ordinary people and heroes, and he wanted a more real and ordinary hero. It's very good to reach out... Hey, it feels a bit like Zhou Ruifa in "God of Gamblers", in that kind of amnesia situation, with a silly expression on his face, but in his eyes there is the fierceness of a top-level God of Gamblers , Unknowingly changing cards or something... Is it this kind of rush?

Putting it on Cheng Long, it is like a person with amnesia, who doesn't know who he is, thinks he is an ordinary person, but finds that he is very good at skills?It's like in some movies I've seen before, some people suddenly realize that they use knives very well?Kungfu is good?Then start to doubt?Then add Americans' love for guns and Cheng Long's expertise in fighting and escaping from various dangers.Then it becomes a person who doesn't know who he was before, and then he finds that he is good at using weapons, fighting, running, and all kinds of dangerous jumps... Of course, to show everything, it is natural to make the protagonist Throw it into an environment that has to be displayed... For example, being robbed by someone... No, this is not in line with Cheng Long's habit, that is, when someone else is robbed, he goes up to the hero to save the beauty, etc. , and then I thought I was going to die, but in the end I knocked him down?Then there must be all kinds of pursuits, so that Cheng Long can run around, right?There must be a particularly powerful chase to make Cheng Long jump off the building, right?

But this kind of amnesiac killer or amnesiac agent... why does it feel like it's going back to "The Bourne Shadow" again!Cheng Long, why did you film "Who Am I"?Do you know how much you hate it?If you don't shoot "Who Am I", we can shoot "The Bourne Shadow" today!
