Coquettish Rebirth

"Even, Mr. Jia, I think why don't we sell a movie twice? I mean, we come back and release a full version of the video, for example, and then in the video, in addition to the content of the movie version, we also You can add a re-edited movie, that is, edit such a movie into a complete second story! This will definitely increase the sales of the video tape? Fans who like this movie should buy it! At the same time, we also It can fully express the connotation of our story. Even in the second layer of the story, we can also deliberately bury an ending... That's right! Let's just change the ending of the movie version, don't say what the emperor wants to believe For the first story, don’t say that the emperor thought that the people would be willing to believe the first story, but we asked Tang Seng to finish the first story in the movie, and then the emperor asked him, do you think I will believe this story?

Then Tang Seng told the second story.After finishing the second story, the emperor looked at him seriously, then the screen went black, and the movie ended. Most of the audience will not know, maybe you Chinese will associate with history and then understand the result. In this way, it will have a very special effect on both Europeans and Chinese, and the effect is completely different... How about this? ?In the end, we can complete it in the videotape version, and then add the final choice of the last emperor. How shocking is this effect?The emperor clearly did not believe the first story.But in order to rule, he chose to promote the first story. We asked the emperor to choose the third option between the two choices of the two stories! "

Hey!This idea directly made Jia Hongjian almost overwhelmed!He immediately understood that the two ideas that Nolan said just now should have been brought up during the editing process. If they were put on Ang Lee, that guy must have been unwilling to even think about them in advance, and then he arrived. When editing, think slowly and slowly find the feeling!But what about Nolan.Even before the script came out.This ending was already foreseen!From this point of view, this Nolan is too suitable for Jia Hongjian's appetite!His aesthetics are too similar to Jia Hongjian's!

Just when Jia Hongjian was feeling emotional, Nolan said as if explaining his filmmaking philosophy—"Mr. Jia, I think movies don't have to be popular and superficial. Yes. We can also make the movie serious and complicated. Of course, it is on the basis of ensuring the box office profit. I think I am very compatible with the soul of this story. I like deep and connotative plots. And such A story just fits my interest. At the same time, the structure of the film and the boldness of the plot design are exactly the same as my character! Mr. Jia, now I take back what I said at the beginning, I am no longer worried about whether I can support this It's a movie, and I'm solemnly requesting you to give me such a movie, and let me be the screenwriter and director of this movie..."

ha?Writer... and director?Jia Hongjian was taken aback when he heard this. When did he say he wanted Nolan to be the director?Why is this dude so...feeling good about himself?Is he recommending himself?At this time, Jia Hongjian didn't realize that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them!From Nolan's point of view, he just made a "humor".In Nolan’s view, Jia Hongjian had long since handed over the film to him and asked him to be the director. He was a little worried at first, fearing that he would not be able to make it and that the style would not match, but now he feels that the style does. , So I said this to Jia Hongjian confidently, I just want everyone to sign the contract quickly and start working!

But from Jia Hongjian's point of view, this matter was not what Nolan saw at all.From Jia Hongjian's point of view, this is because Nolan suddenly felt that the story fit his aesthetics, and then he suddenly wanted to recommend himself to be a director!So right now, Jia Hongjian has to consider whether Nolan is suitable or not!He still wants Ang Lee to be the director...

As a result, when Jia Hongjian was thinking about it, he heard Nolan continue to say to himself: "Mr. It must be very strict from the beginning! Not only the lead actor, but also the supporting actor must be carefully selected! First of all, the lead actor is Tang Seng, who must have a bit of both good and evil characteristics, so that when he is upright, he It can be very upright, so that people will not doubt him at all, and when he is evil, his expression may not change much, but when his momentum changes, his expression can give people a completely different feeling, it may be gloomy Scary, maybe crazy like a murderer! Considering that audiences all over the world are not very familiar with Chinese actors, I don’t think it’s necessary to choose based on fame, but must choose based on acting skills! The acting skills are high enough , even if his image is not very handsome, I think he can be the protagonist! Next, there are two characters like Monkey King and Zhu Bajie. I personally think that Monkey King must show that kind of aggressiveness. This kind of aggressiveness is not It’s just a grin with porcelain teeth, but it’s a [dangerous] signal created through acting skills or your own aura!”

Having said this, Nolan had no intention of stopping at all, it was as if he was saying high! "This Sun Wukong should have a deadpan look at people, without any trace of deliberate expression, but it can give people a feeling of coldness as if a killer is in front of them, and it will make people feel an absolute oppression. Feeling! At the same time, this actor may also need to learn some details of the performance and movements of the gorilla. If necessary, I think I can specially arrange for him to go to Africa for three or four months. As for the role of Zhu Bajie, I personally understand him He should be a playboy, but at the same time he is a successful person. Such a Zhu Bajie should have the confidence of an absolutely handsome guy, and at the same time be full of charm! This kind of confidence and charm should just reflect a kind of self-cognition of Tang Seng! It’s even okay for such a character to deliberately be handsome and cool, as long as the performance is in place. And it’s best to have a kind of beauty that Western audiences can understand and appreciate...

Mr. Jia, I am not racist. I have to say that Asians have not yet become mainstream stars in Hollywood, at least not mainstream handsome men. Therefore, audiences other than East Asians may think that Asians look similar when they look at them suddenly. In this case, if European and American audiences can’t appreciate the handsomeness of Zhu Bajie, I think it will be a little difficult to convey the connotation of the film... and the overall setting of a character like Drifting is a down-to-earth and hard-working character. , It also represents the identity of Tang Seng himself who is a little bit skeptical about his beliefs, and at the same time represents his professional ethics, and also acts as a guide in the first story. Is the white guy playing it?In this case, we need an actor who looks ugly, not handsome, not vicious, and can even be said to have no characteristics. Such an actor may only play supporting roles in Hollywood, and can only play ordinary people, but let them play this role I think it should be able to express what we want to express. Of course, the price will be lower. "

wipe!What Nolan said was exactly what Jia Hongjian thought!At that time, Jia Hongjian was surprised!He thought of the story in his mind, and then selected a few actors according to the story. The starting point is basically the same as Nolan's!Chen Daoming wants to play the role of Tang Seng. Is this old Chen's acting skills good enough to play both good and evil?Absolutely deep enough?If he wants to play a simple role, he can also play it!Then there's a character like Fei Xiang, a Chinese-American mixed race, so handsome that he's just scumbag, with a pair of electric eyes constantly discharging!And the height is still high, like 190!The figure is also great!It can be said that letting him play such a Zhu Bajie definitely meets Nolan's requirements!What about Drifting... In short, what Nolan thought was exactly the same as what Jia Hongjian thought!

When Jia Hongjian was shocked, Nolan didn't notice it at all, and he kept saying to himself: "And if you really want to take pictures for me, I want to use it within about 3 months. It’s time to finish the script. When writing the script, my wife, as the producer, can help choose actors first, she can travel around the world instead of me, and she can even help scout some locations. In this way, we The overall preparation speed will be much faster, and then after the script is written and the actors are selected, I will sort out a complete shooting plan as soon as possible, and then let my wife prepare for us, so that we can use The relatively ingenious and professional attitude and efficient shooting are good, so I think your investment and the quality of the film will be well guaranteed. Finally, I have a heartfelt request, that is, I personally don’t like all green screens. For the shooting, I like to use the original ecological shooting method as much as possible, so I may spend all the funds generated by the professional and efficient shooting in the front for live shooting, and I will try to control the overall expenditure when the time comes.

Although the special effects may be a little less, this is my personal preference. At the same time, if I think about it, such abnormal live-action shooting should also become a publicity gimmick. What do you think, Mr. Jia?Can you give me the power to shoot such a movie?I promise to use my best state to shoot the best movie for you! "

hiss!This Nolan, why does he feel that the thoughts and attitudes of the entire work process are completely similar to his Jia Hongjian!To be honest, Jia Hongjian would feel so much better if he cooperated with Nolan!And if you cooperate with Li An, one is quick-tempered and the other is slow-tempered, then Jia Hongjian will die in a hurry!But... After all, I have talked so much with Li An before... Looking at Nolan, who is full of hope, Jia Hongjian fell into thinking... (To be continued...)
