Coquettish Rebirth

"Daddy Wild Boar, Wild Boar, Aliye, take care of you, Wild Boar, Wild Boar, Emina..." Finally, Jia Hongjian sang the song "Daddy Wild Boar".Of course, the name of this song must not really be this name. The original name of the song is "babayetu", which means "our father" in Swahili on the east coast of Africa.As for this song, the most famous one is that it was used as the theme song of a game like "Civilization 4", and was declared the best song of the year by the American Grammy Awards!This is the first time a Grammy has awarded an award to a game's theme song!

Although the theme song has a strong religious atmosphere, and it is not the religious atmosphere of Buddhism, but this thing really has a majestic feeling, and there is a kind of rush to sing grand affairs with a very low senior position-after all, it is Use it to sing praises to God!This original song is a prayer song born out of Swahili, so it is naturally a tribute to God the Father!Speaking of which, this song has a lot to do with China, because its author Tian Zhiren is a Chinese!

"Huh? This song is good! Interesting, what song is this?" Nolan immediately became interested. "This is the prayer song of the Swahili people in the east of Africa. It seems to be like this. I don't remember the details. But if you like it, we can choose this style, and then find someone to re-arrange and re-make it. , to make it more suitable for our film? We can even change the language with the lyrics." Jia Hongjian immediately suggested.

His proposal immediately skipped the question about the source of this song.He didn't explain how he heard this song by chance.He also didn't say what the original ecology of such a prayer song in the real Swahili language should be like-he didn't know these things either!So instead of talking nonsense and bragging, it's better to just change the subject!That's right!As long as we change the subject and mention that it can be modernized, then even if the original song is slightly different from Jia Hongjian's, it doesn't matter, right?Although he, Jia Hongjian, remembers the songs in the album produced by Chinese musicians, Jia Hongjian does not rely on music for a living, and his musical talent is not very high. normal!So even if Nolan heard the original prayer song, it was different from what Jia Hongjian hummed.There is no way to say anything to him!

"It looks good like this. Mr. Jia, hum it again! Let's record it now, and then we can use it for composers to listen to later!" Nolan actively brought a small tape recorder and asked Let Jia Hongjian hum again.Hmph, hum, what's there to be afraid of?Soon Jia Hongjian and the others recorded this.

After roughly letting Nolan find the music mode he wanted here, the shooting mode of the entire picture was figured out next--the kind of rush that is similar to when shooting earth documentaries.It is to show the beauty of nature!To show the smallness of human beings through the beauty of nature and that kind of grandeur!For example, on the endless Gobi gravel wasteland.Through aerial shots.Take off from Tang Seng's side and pull up, and shoot from a close-up of the whole body, constantly zooming out.What a long shot finally shows is that a lonely person keeps walking forward on the endless wasteland. Even after being far enough away, the Tang monk looks like an ant from a high altitude with only a small dot!

Is this enough to show the greatness of nature and the smallness of human beings?At the same time, through this comparison, it can also show the "saint" characteristics of Tang Seng-when he was so small alone, he was willing to trek through mountains and rivers, but he was willing to go to India to learn scriptures, study abroad, and learn The new knowledge of Buddhism came back to the Tang Dynasty to revitalize Buddhism and save all living beings... how great it is!Then, almost the whole movie is praising Tang Seng who is being portrayed as a hero, but at the end, it is suddenly revealed that he is not religious at all, and then he violated many precepts on the road, and even almost "fired". Those who are "obsessed" can't go on and find a woman to marry and have children directly... In the end, there may be murder and arson. Such a sudden reversal will definitely make the audience dumbfounded?Can definitely make the audience think deeply?

That's right, Jia Hongjian will be able to think of the comments of the audience and film critics at that time - an excellent display of human nature!In many cases, people who open a new chapter in human history are not necessarily complete heroes. They may have various stains on them!Even when they opened a new chapter in history, they were not devout at all, and they did not look like saints at all, but such people are living people, and this is humanity!

Look, this kind of bragging, then there must be a lot of literary youths who want to think about it. True saints do not exist. People are all Tang monks, so they are real. Nolan is the most amazing, and deeply embodies human nature... These guys definitely don't know that Nolan and Jia Hongjian conceived such a story, but in fact there is no original idea to reflect human nature at all. They conceived such a story, in fact, to play with the audience!The purpose is to tell a story on the surface and then finally have a big reversal like O'Henry. The stories told before are intentionally misleading!There is no deliberate analysis of human nature, only deliberate tricks to play tricks on the audience!So now when he thinks of those literary youths calling this movie a masterpiece in the future, Jia Hongjian feels a sense of superiority in IQ!What is it that after our creators created a story and played with the audience, this group of audiences still stand on our side and applaud, shouting that we are making fun of it, and even all kinds of exaggerations to echo each other. How cool is this high-end concept?

Generally speaking, after a normal person is "played" by Jia Hongjian and the others in this way, the reaction should be to give a thumbs up and say, "Niuuuuuuuuuu" The trick is so clever that you have fooled it." Induced by you."As a result, there are a group of sub-wenqings who are able to elevate themselves in various ways, just like the legendary experts who wrote Chinese textbooks, they will give meaning to things that are obviously meaningless, and then they will say all kinds of awesome things, even the original author will Confused, do you really think so?

It took two or three days here, and after Jia Hongjian and Nolan had probably settled on a certain idea, they had to apply for visas along the way—then they were going to go abroad to collect scenery!What about the various Stans in Central Asia, and even places like Iran, you have to go and see them all the way to Pakistan or India.Even, Jia Hongjian and the others are planning to go to Afghanistan as soon as possible in this era!That's right, it is the war-torn Afghanistan of later generations!

As for Afghanistan, it is not too chaotic in this year. After a regime like the Taliban entered the capital in 95, it has already controlled the country and basically established a state that combines politics and religion.And the Taliban, as the ruler at this time, is not the same as the terrorist organization that kidnaps hostages and commits suicide bombings everywhere in the future. They are still going to attack the warlords and work hard to establish a modern religious country with a high degree of national unity. Woolen cloth!Therefore, the law and order in the country is good now!It's kind of like that!Speaking of it, it was actually after the United States hit Afghanistan that it made the local chaos!

Moreover, one of the most important reasons why Jia Hongjian and the others went is that there are still Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan!The Bamiyan Buddha is the same as the various giant Buddhas carved on the mountains in China, and the last Buddhist relics in Afghanistan are the third largest sculptures of the Buddha in the world!Although the first two are mostly in China, this road is related to Tang Seng’s journey, and this kind of giant Buddha built in the 5th century AD, of course it will be filmed in a movie!

Especially Jia Hongjian knew that in 01, the Taliban would use explosives to blow up the world-famous Buddha because it was Buddhist and different from their "state religion"!After this thing is blown up, there is nothing to see or do in the future!So if you don't rush over now, when will you wait?Looking back and waiting until after 01, the United States invaded again. By then, it will be a mess?At that time, the crew might be kidnapped for ransom!It's too dangerous!

However, before going abroad, Jia Hongjian called Mr. Ni Guangnan in Huaxia Hi-Tech, and commissioned him to make a mysterious toy.What is such a little toy?It's very simple, it's the kind of unmanned helicopter that crews often use to shoot close-up aerial scenes around 2012!That's right!This unmanned helicopter is actually a base, and then four propellers are placed on the four corners, and then various stabilizing devices are equipped on the base, plus a camera and remote control equipment, then it is ok!

What?Sounds like it's too easy?It should be simple!It's not difficult to get started with this kind of thing. If Jia Hongjian remembers correctly, the leading domestic company that sells unmanned helicopters in later generations was actually the first university student to research it himself!At the beginning, people made it like making toys, and then gradually improved the effect and stability, and finally exported thousands of such machines every year around 2012, okay?And it's very expensive to sell!An ordinary college student can study it step by step by himself. Jia Hongjian now asks the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering to help with the research. Is there a problem?

And after researching such a thing, as long as the shooting effect is relatively good, it will save more money than real aerial photography!For real aerial photography, a big helicopter is really needed. How much does it cost?Moreover, how big is the airflow when the helicopter lifts off?How much interference will this cause to the costumes of the actors on the ground?Wouldn't the row of lenses be too obvious by then?So you must use this kind of unmanned little stuff!
