Coquettish Rebirth

"Also..." Cheng Long nodded reluctantly.To be honest, it is easy to understand that the ideas and stories of movies in this world are similar-everyone crashes sometimes!But even if the story at the starting point is similar, everyone expresses it differently afterwards, the actors are different, the directors are different and the music is different, and the story shown in the end is also very different.But Cheng Long is different!The director is still Cheng Long, and the starring role is still Cheng Long. It is estimated that many members of the Cheng family will be villains in the film, so the actors are almost the same all of a sudden!

Well, the director is the same, the actors are the same, and even the villain is the same. Such a group of people tell a similar story... Would it be fresh for the audience to enter the movie theater?Please, you can guess the latter from the beginning, okay?When I saw a lot of plots, I lost my expectation, okay!

"Then let's make "Who Am I 2"? Is that okay?" Cheng Long was still reluctant to give up such a plot, such an opportunity to try. "Make it into 2? This is inappropriate... For example, there is still a connection between "Drunken Master 1" and "Drunken Master 2". Therefore, the audience thinks that the plot is continuous. Like "Police Story 1234", there is also a connection between them, at least 1 or 2 parts, and the third part also has a girlfriend Amy, and In the fourth part, at least the protagonist’s name is Chen Jiaju... If our film is released in the United States, will Americans look for 1 after seeing the title, only to find that 1 has not been released on a large scale in the United States, or Find out that the plot of 1 is not connected with [-] at all?" Jia Hongjian wondered.

This is indeed true.It's not like Jia Hongjian has never encountered this kind of thing in his previous life. It's like there is a movie called "Love at High Altitude 2" in his later life. When he first watched this movie, Jia Hongjian was still wondering.Is there a first for this movie?After watching the second part, he searched everywhere for the first part, but he couldn’t find it. Finally, he asked someone in the industry to find out that there is no such thing as “Love at High Altitude 1” "!Nima didn't 1, what kind of "2" did you start?Johnny To, are you a joke sent by a monkey?After knowing the actual situation of this matter, Jia Hongjian almost died of anger, okay!

Similarly, if "Who Am I 2" is released in the United States at that time, people will definitely find it to watch, but it turns out that the two stories are not connected together, even though the starring is the same.But the names of the characters are different, and even the whole plot is a bit similar...Is this nonsense?Isn't this too cheating?Isn't this fried overnight rice to sell money?Is there any sincerity?Moreover, audiences in Hong Kong and mainland China will also feel the same way—it’s obviously a routine, so if you perform it again, is it interesting?It's to scam money, right?

"But Iron King... that is, the stories between 007 and each part are not connected, and the general trend of the story is similar. Aren't there still many people watching it? Or we can just call it "Who Am I-Remake" ?” Cheng Long said still unwillingly.

Jia Hongjian heard this.It seems a bit interesting to play this kind of "remake"... Really, if Chi Guoguo played "Who Am I 2" and played it in the theater, some people might think it's cheating, because the plot is similar.But what if Cheng Long was dissatisfied with the filming of "Who Am I", and then got Jia Hongjian's investment of [-] million U.S. dollars and re-filmed it again?Maybe this will lower the audience's expectations?Will you put your expectations on seeing what changes Cheng Long can make this time?

Thinking of this, Jia Hongjian reluctantly nodded, "Maybe it can be done this way... But maybe we have to buy an adaptation copyright..." Jia Hongjian didn't want to be sued later after the film was released. of!After all, the story itself is a novel written by Robert Lulum, and all three books were published in the 80s and 90s.Although it is said to be changed, it can be changed to be similar but not the same.But respect the minimum copyright!We all have money, but we still feel sorry for such a small amount of money, and those who still hold back so much are unwilling to spend money to buy the adaptation rights, why bother?And according to the historical practice, after people bought the adaptation rights, they even got the author into the crew to be the screenwriter!Although the edited things have some adaptations of the original work, the whole is more coordinated and more suitable for the movie, and it is also interlocking!

If Jia Hongjian and the others bought the right to adapt, can the original author help to write according to Cheng Long's characteristics?Yes or no?Jia Hongjian saved so much trouble!Then he doesn't have to run behind! [

"Ah? Isn't this the story you came up with Mr. Jia? And the original author?" Cheng Long was surprised at that time, and he asked Jia Hongjian with his eyes wide open in disbelief.At this time, Jia Hongjian was a little embarrassed. Could it be that he thought of it based on other people's movies or original works?This is too out of place!But Jia Hongjian is so smart!He said at the time: "Oh, it's like this. I used to read a foreign novel translated and published by the mainland called "The Ghost on 71st Street". It told a similar story, but the main character was in A soldier during the Vietnam War, because his wife was killed by a Vietnamese bomb, he joined an organization similar to special forces to kill high-level Vietnamese. After the war ended, he joined a "government" or something A secret plan to become a killer. It seems to be to kill some killer in Europe or something. Later, I lost my memory. I was rescued by a doctor, and then I found a capsule on my ass, and then I opened it to be a bank of Zurich. The account number... But this is very compact, the plot moves very fast, and it also describes that muscle memory is more reliable than human memory, people don't remember how to fight, but the body will act subconsciously..."

snort!Can this stump Jia Hongjian?As a film fan, Jia Hongjian still can't handle this kind of basic knowledge?When he was "obsessed" with "The Bourne Shadow", Jia Hongjian actually found the original and read it. Of course, it was in English.Later, when I was searching for treasures at a second-hand book stand, I found a copy of "Ghost on 71st Street" published by Lijiang Publishing House. The cover is not good enough.Looks like it was published in the 80s.Originally, Jia Hongjian was not willing to flip through such a title, but when he saw that the author's name seemed to be the original author of "The Bourne Shadow", he curiously flipped through it, and the result was incredible!All of a sudden, I realized that this damn thing was "Bourne's Identity"!That's right! "The Bourne Movie 1" is a movie originally called "Bourne's Identity" in foreign countries, so it was adapted from this novel!And it turns out that the novel is about the Vietnam War and a few years later!After all, their novels were from the 80s.It's impossible to write all kinds of scenes from the 90s or even the 21st century, right?The military novels and espionage novels written at that time must have something to do with the Cold War!

So, after Jia Hongjian said this, there is no need to worry about Cheng Long thinking that he is plagiarizing someone else's story!Obviously, Jia Hongjian just got some inspiration from others!The setting of the whole story, Jia Hongjian, has moved from the 70s to the end of the century, okay?So at that time, Cheng Long immediately admired, "Really? Can Mr. Jia help me get this book to read? Let's study whether it is suitable or not. It's not too late for us to buy the adaptation rights after everything is done. .Otherwise, in the end, if you find it inappropriate to change it, isn’t the right to adapt it bought for nothing?”

your sister!Do you want to save so much?At that time, Jia Hongjian groaned inwardly. Did Cheng Long hug his thigh or something?Do you have to pull him to adapt it?He doesn't want to waste his energy, even if he wants to spend money to find someone else to do the work?Although I was not happy in my heart, I looked at Cheng Long's expectant eyes.Thinking that the future Hollywood superstars are begging me so much... Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I reluctantly agree?Just think of it as a memory... If it doesn't work, let's find the original author again!

After thinking of this, Jia Hongjian pinched his nose and recognized it.After the discussion here, Jia Hongjian briefly explained the content of the original work to Cheng Long, and Cheng Long also asked the younger brother to find the corresponding book in Hong Kong.Unfortunately.Because the time of publication is too long, there are no books on the shelves in Hong Kong.And if you want to look for it at the second-hand book stand, you may not be able to find it, and Jia Hongjian has also started to let people look for it in the mainland.As a result, after mobilizing everyone in the company, an employee found this book with a tattered cover on his bookcase.Then, with the endorsement, it was taken to Hong Kong and handed over to Cheng Long.

Although Cheng Long didn't go to any school, there is no obstacle in his ability to recognize characters, after all, he is also a person who has studied the Four Books and Five Classics.At the same time, because of the return of Hong Kong and Hong Kong in the past two years, Cheng Long is also learning simplified Chinese characters.Although I may not be able to write it out, I can roughly understand some parts that are different between simplified and traditional characters.Then in the next few days, Cheng Long seemed to be crazy, and came to Jia Hongjian's place to read books every day like going to work... That's right, come to Jia Hongjian's place to read books!To watch and discuss with Jia Hongjian!Later, after Jia Hongjian fell asleep, this person went home to watch it at night, and the next morning he brought his notes to discuss it with Jia Hongjian!People are too serious!

But we have to be serious. In this original book, it doesn't mean that everything is pictured like in the movie.The original book written in words gives more room for imagination than the movie, and it feels more exciting!And is the original 500 pages thick?It's almost the same as Romance of the Three Kingdoms!A lot of content here is due to time constraints and can't be stuffed into the movie!And because it is text, it is easy to get the character's heart to describe, which is something that movies can't express!

In this original work, the words are quite concise, but they can outline the character and mood of the protagonist as quickly as a line drawing!It can be said that even the writing style is a documentary style!It really highlights the rush of a small person suddenly encountering a big conspiracy!Moreover, there are certain descriptions in the book about all kinds of law, botany, finance, etc., not to mention the internal description. Although Bourne does not know who he is and is at a loss, he faces many seemingly In a crisis that I have never encountered before, my brain is surprisingly calm, but I clearly and instinctively tell myself what to do and what each step should be like!How to kill people, how to subdue people, observe the scene immediately after entering the building, see where it is suitable to escape, etc.These are rarely shown in movies!

Jia Hongjian and Cheng Long read the 550-plus-page original work for 10 days, during which Jia Hongjian had to go back to the mainland once and then come back again. Through such a way of reading and discussing, the two of them are regarded as Finally finished reading this book!
