Coquettish Rebirth

Of course, the plot that Jia Hongjian and the others set up now is not completely suitable for Rowling.Because if Rowling wants to write a novel, it must be longer than the movie.Here, Jia Hongjian and the others didn’t mean to simply come up with a story outline suitable for the movie. They also helped Rowling add a few plots, such as the king of the Western Regions who wanted to kill 1 monks. .This story will only appear in the novel at that time, because Jia Hongjian and the others have already made up their minds. They have selected the best and most representative plots for the movie. It can be said that the plots selected in the movie are all It is the most targeted for all kinds of precepts!

As for this novel, it is filled with some details that are not in the movie. Generally speaking, it is more of the kind of "increasing the volume without increasing the price", and it is for more in-depth portrayal of the character of the characters.In short, with such a set of settings, it doesn't mean that they first create a novel and then turn the novel into a movie script.It means that the skeleton of the movie script comes out first, and then the skeleton of the novel is arranged. In this way, the novel is attached to the movie, and it is to complete the details that the movie cannot show because of insufficient space.

With this top-to-bottom construction, the novel must be very easy to write—after all, the overall story has already been constructed, and then Rowling only needs to consider how to write and describe each scene, without worrying about it Think about how to write and how to develop next.At most, she just wanted to think about where she needed to add a little hint, and it seemed quite mysterious.

However, Jia Hung-chien did not adopt Jiang Wen's statement in the outline of such a film at first.Want to make it into three stories?Why until now, Jia Hongjian and the others have always talked about two stories?The reason is very simple, just like what Ang Lee did in "Youth Pi", who said that Jia Hongjian gave some clues, so there must be a third story?Originally, Jia Hongjian really thought there was a third story in his previous life, and he was really misled by Ang Lee—when Pai described that he had just fallen into the sea, didn't he say that the orangutan was sitting on a floating banana?Then the reporter said - bananas can't float!

Then, later on, this pie couldn’t get away with it, so he told the so-called true story-the mother is an orangutan, and the mother came here with a banana.Then the reporter said it again.Said that bananas can't float!But this faction didn't explain anything!Then someone asked Ang Lee.Is there a third story here?As a result, Li An was vague, he just didn't say whether there was a story or whether it was a bug or something!Anyway, just do not explain!

What I have to say is that such a little gadget feels a bit like viral marketing, because it is vague.It is because there is no explanation.That's why it's so curious!After people are curious.Is it true that some people have to go back and watch it a second time and a third time if they are serious?In China, you can watch it online for free, but in countries like the United States, where can you watch it for free?And when the movie was released.Where is there any dvd or videotape!So it is very simple to watch, go to the cinema and spend money to watch it!Then after seducing more fans like this, if a DVD or something is released at that time, wouldn't it be able to earn a lot of money?

So this third layer of story is really a mystical stuff.That is to deliberately make some details out, and deliberately make the second layer of the story a little logically flawed, making people think that there is a story under the second layer of the story, but in fact there is no!This kind of trickery that plays tricks on other people's feelings is actually quite cool!It even reminded Jia Hongjian of a story he had read in "Science Fiction World" that seemed to be called "Seven Layers of Dreamland" or something.

The story is actually very simple, as if the protagonist goes to experience in a dream maker of a friend or someone else.This dream machine can create multi-layered dreams, but because some parameters may not be adjusted correctly, someone needs to go in and help test whether it can be seen as a dream. Probably the protagonist is there to help test.After entering it at the beginning, the scenes and senses were very real, but after a few hours in the dream, the protagonist actually felt neither thirsty nor hungry at all, and then he said that he found that this was a dream, Because you will not be thirsty or hungry.Then his friend adjusted the parameters, and then let him accept the next round of testing.This time, the protagonist seems to have gone to a party. He felt that everything around him was so real, but he came up with a good idea, that is, to drink water constantly. As a result, he drank a lot of water, and after a few hours I didn't even feel like urinating at all, and now I realized it was a dream!

He used more and more extreme methods to test whether the space he was in was a dream, but after the dream test on the seventh floor, his friend didn't tell him that the next test was over It was still the eighth-level dream—anyway, he felt like he got up from the machine and lived a normal life.But his previous habit of piercing dreams made him constantly doubt whether what he was seeing was actually a dream.Because of his test, it is quite difficult to distinguish whether it is a dream when his friend's machine reaches the seventh floor of the dream. When it reaches this, it is not known whether it is the eighth floor or the space of the real world. , otherwise it is basically impossible to test whether this is a dream or not!

As for Jia Hongjian, what he wants to do is the same. He just wants to make readers and audiences feel that it is not true, that it seems to exist and it does not seem to exist, but is it there?No one knows!This is a bit like the last gimmick of "Inception". It seems that the protagonist has returned to reality, but when the protagonist gets a spinning top and spins it, the movie is over!People don't even know whether this "reality" is reality or not!

Wait... So speaking of such a novel written by a Chinese short science fiction author, it is actually somewhat similar to the American blockbuster "Inception" to some extent?At least in the most core idea, it is a little bit of people's confusion about dreams and reality - I don't know if reality is another kind of dream.In fact, this kind of myth also exists in "The Matrix", but this film changes the dream into a game-like thing virtualized by the computer.If you even go further into the ancient stuff, isn't Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly just such a myth?The story of Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly is very simple. It means that Zhuang Zhou had a dream, dreaming that he was a butterfly, and even happily forgot that he was Zhuang Zhou in the dream.After waking up suddenly, he realized that he was Zhuang Zhou.So did he dream that he was a butterfly, or was he actually a butterfly and dreamed that he was Zhuang Zhou?

Isn't this core thing just a person who can't be sure whether the time and space he is in is real or a dream!So in fact, "Inception" is also very simple, isn't it just the core idea of ​​Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, packaged with Hollywood popular elements?Isn't it just packed with all kinds of fierce fighting, all kinds of chases and all kinds of adventures?After all, it is difficult to sell such a core concept as Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly, so if you want to sell it, you have to pack a story.And Hollywood blockbusters must have a visual shock, and there must be stories of all kinds of fierce fighting and chasing. The best story is to catch people, so that people dare not go to the bathroom for 90 minutes!And after it was packaged, wouldn't there be such a dream-making team to brainwash others by entering their dreams?

In fact, if you really want to make a film, you only need to be familiar with the routine of Hollywood story making, and as long as the special effects pass the test, you can transform the story that Jia Hongjian has seen.Take the short story with a slow pace and a short story, and pack it with all kinds of intense and exciting fighting, chasing, conspiracy and so on. At the end, I don’t know whether it is reality or a dream. By the way, I will show the power of Hollywood special effects. ——If the dream is too realistic, just like the real world, then there will be no room for Hollywood special effects to show visual shock, so the protagonist must try to control the dream, and there must be a street in the dream. The visual shock of getting up...

Hiss... Why did Jia Hongjian think about it, and felt that after the transformation, he would become "Inception" again?Of course, this may be the reason why Jia Hongjian has seen Inception, so after thinking about it, the whole story will develop in that direction.However, Jia Hongjian has to say that Nolan, the main creator of "Inception" and also the director, is indeed talented—if Jia Hongjian is asked to turn dreams into movies or something, even if Jia Hongjian thought of such a pirate Dream Team's idea, then the story that Jia Hongjian came up with is more likely to let the team steal other people's ideas, to steal other people's ideas!And what Nolan thought of was how to implant an idea that others resisted!

There is a big difference between this!It's like what Jia Hongjian thought of was a thief movie about going to the casino to steal hundreds of millions of cash under the covers.And what Nolan thought of was the reverse. For example, what he thought of was how to let a team secretly put [-] million US dollars in the vault of someone else's casino!This difficulty is different!And the excitement of the plot is also different!If you want to steal things, after all, when you first entered, you were empty-handed, so that's convenient!In the end, even with [-] million cash, but theoretically blowing up other people's buildings, and then as long as they respond fast enough and run fast enough, they can really escape.But it's different if you put money in it. How can you hide the [-] million U.S. dollars in it?If you foolishly blow up other people's buildings, how can you put the money in?The difficulty is different!So just thinking of this, Jia Hongjian knew that he couldn't become a genius director like Nolan!What he can do is to give ideas to other talented directors and become a big boss behind the scenes!
