Coquettish Rebirth

Of course Nolan agreed to Jia Hongjian's request, although he didn't know what Jia Hongjian's request was.However, in his opinion, if he could get a chance to be qualified as the best director, then it would be no big deal to agree to Jia Hongjian's request.And besides, isn't he now a new partner of DreamWorks?He was basically tied to DreamWorks, and it was impossible to leave Jia Hongjian and the others to do it alone anyway, so it was better to agree.

As for Jia Hongjian, after Nolan was framed, he was fine for the time being.After dealing with the scripts of a series of American TV dramas that DreamWorks is going to do, he is going to return to China for a while-although he said he wants to play Nolan, but the Oscar is still more than a month away!He always spends Chinese New Year in China, right?Moreover, the second round of voting for the entire society is after the year, so he might as well go back to China first.And when he returned to the country, he was fine for the time being.As soon as I'm free, I think about the fact that I didn't win the best picture award, so I might as well just focus on my work.But at this time, Zhang Yimou called Jia Hongjian's secretary Wang Danshui and said that he took advantage of Jia Hongjian's time to go to the United States to get out the script and wanted to see what Jia Hongjian could do. Please take a look.Since it's okay to be idle like this, then Jia Hongjian will just watch it.So he called Lao Mouzi over and helped Lao Mouzi read the script face to face.

You don't know if you don't look at it, just take a look, this old Mouzi has really made some progress.After Jia Hongjian brought up the need to consider commercial factors before writing the script, the writing of Lao Mouzi's script is really different from the original one in history.In the original history, Jia Hongjian remembered that in the original "Heroes", when King Qin persuaded Wuming to be a killer, he was talking about the concept of Tianxia.Jia Hongjian doesn't remember the specifics, anyway, it's mostly like "I am the country", saying that the world can be peaceful only with King Qin, and saying that he started the war for peace.How many different ways of writing a word in different countries, it is better for him to unify the country and unify one way of writing...

Jia Hongjian felt that such a statement about the past life was always too blunt, and had a sense of preaching.And the hard taste revealed behind the scenes, it feels like it's not trying to convince others at all!From this point of view, perhaps in the eyes of Lao Mouzi, high-ranking people should be like that, they should be a little unreasonable, especially the emperors in the feudal period, what is there to be soft about?It doesn't matter if people are tough all their lives.But the problem is that the audience can't stand it because it's too hard, they think the plot is blunt!And then again.Do foreigners understand the meaning of the topic of the world?

But in the current script, what Lao Mouzi wrote took care of some foreign concepts!For example, Lao Mouzi began to change his lines a bit, changing from the concept of the world to the concept of empire.That is to say, Lao Mouzi said that the former Zhou Tianzi was similar to the emperor and owned an empire, but the empire's enfeoffment system had been entrusted for a long time, which led to various wars and wars between various vassal states.Therefore, if he wants to rule the world, it is tantamount to taking back the land that the emperor of Zhou confiscated, so that the nobles will not fight all day long without the land in their hands, and so many people will not die.

"Well, this is interesting!" Jia Hongjian nodded, "It's like taking back the land. If the nobles don't have land, there will be no wars, and people will not die every day. This is actually very similar to what the United States did in the Yugoslavia two years ago. The concept of human rights is greater than sovereignty! In fact, I think we can learn a little more about the propaganda of the United States at that time. We don’t have to apply it 100% directly, but we can use such a set of theories indirectly, so that Looking back at the Americans, don’t they feel empathy? Isn’t this understandable?”

"Human rights are more important than sovereignty? Okay!" At that time, Lao Mouzi's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his notebook and recorded it respectfully. His actions were just like elementary school students listening to a teacher's lecture!honestly.Jia Hongjian really felt that Lao Mouzi had a bit of talent in this matter!The tone of human rights over sovereignty was discovered by Lao Mouzi himself, and Jia Hongjian just raised the tone a little bit, which is more in line with the reality in the United States.In this regard, in fact, it is the same as the Hollywood blockbusters of later generations adding various Chinese elements for the Chinese market, all of which are for the compromise of the market!

"But on the other hand, this line is a bit hard. I know what you mean, a ruler of a feudal dynasty. How can he give a heartfelt speech with impassioned passion? Emperors are always hard, and they are always not very sure. Ordinary people take it seriously. Just like when they went to the countryside in the past, they were ordered together. Young people in big cities go to the police station to apply for the transfer of household registration, and get two stamps in half an hour, and the household registration is considered to be out. Young educated people were mobilized to go to remote mountains, old forests, old and young, frontier and poor areas... But then again, we are not making historical documentaries, after all, we are not making a complete restoration of Qin Shihuang's character. We are filming something for entertainment. Consumers see, let consumers pay, so sometimes the real situation is important, but not the most important, everything should be compromised for dramatic tension. For example, I think that such a speech by King Qin can be completely soft, King Qin Don't say a theory that he is the country..."

At this point, Jia Hongjian paused, and after thinking for a while, he said his suggestion, "For example, when the king of Qin saw the assassin coming and everyone around him wanted to protect him from running, he not only didn't run, but also He still went up to meet him! He pointed directly at his chest and asked the assassin to stab him, and said that if the assassin stabbed him, he would be a sinner in the world! Of course the assassin wanted to ask back, but Qin Shihuang made such an argument that human rights are greater than sovereignty It is said that the current wars between the princes are beneficial to the monarch, but not to the common people. But the people who die in the war are the common people! Why is this? Even other countries do not have any military merit system, let alone Qin. You can become a noble by killing enemies! Then the king of Qin was talking about the crime of cultural division, saying that those vassal states were originally in the Zhou Dynasty, and everyone’s writing and language were the same. The currency is not unified, the weights and measures are not uniform, and even the characters are not uniform. If this continues, everyone will not be a person in the world! They will all be separate countries! Huge insult!"

After talking about this, Jia Hongjian felt that there were more and more things, and he said more and more, "You can also talk about the issue of human rights over sovereignty, for example, how many people have died in the wars of the vassal states for hundreds of years?" People. It’s a troubled time now, what the common people want is not simple peace among the vassal states, but permanent peace, and order! What they want is not corpses everywhere, but even strict laws. You can also live a good life according to the law! Although they ruled under the high pressure of the Qin Dynasty, this kind of rule...is to resist future foreign enemies!

By the way, in history, I remember that when Qin Shihuang conquered the Six Kingdoms, it happened to be the time when the Xiongnu unified and then began to invade the Hetao area, right?This is completely close to the environment and atmosphere after 911 in the United States!Let's say that Qin Shihuang unified the six countries in order to gather the power of the whole of China to resist the barbarians in the north!Freedom, peace and happiness are things that can only be had when there is no external threat. If a country maintains those things despite foreign humiliation, then it will not have enough strength to resist foreign humiliation, and finally the Huns will Rule China.The Chinese will not have the opportunity to live according to their own traditions, so they must speak the Hun language and live like the Huns. This is the biggest crime! "Jia Hongjian was talking, the inspiration was really gushing out! He really didn't expect that Qin Shihuang had so many materials to use in such a period!

As for the United States, after being 911, it can be said that the Americans are really pissed off!For example, the United States just passed the famous "Patriot Act" in October. Such a bill states that US state agencies can monitor and investigate any American citizen for national security!And the reason why such a bill was introduced is that the gang of terrorists who robbed the plane and crashed into the building first came to the United States with a legal identity to learn to fly!Then they connected in series through ordinary telephone and Internet connections, and finally carried out such a terrorist attack!Now it is obvious that bad people want to sneak into the United States and do bad things. Why don't the U.S. government start investigating various people suspected of terrorism in the United States?It can be said that Jia Hongjian made such a move, although it does not mean that the background is completely integrated with 10, but it is absolutely no problem for Americans to think of 911 and the Patriot Act when they see it!Isn't this using the past as a metaphor for the present?Doesn't this give an unknown film from China, a film that seems to imitate "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" a bit of profound meaning?Wouldn't it make Americans feel worthwhile after seeing it?

When Jia Hongjian said this, Lao Mouzi memorized it even more desperately!To be honest, he was really surprised that Jia Hongjian knew so much about international current affairs!Why didn't he think of it before!After looking at Jia Hongjian's move, just a few pointers like this will make people feel that they can get a good box office in the United States just by listening to it!And such a plot that fits in with the United States is also applicable to China!Hasn't China been under relatively high-handed rule even now?So in this way, it should make domestic audiences feel a little bit metaphorical, right?In this way, the film is still not popular?When the time comes, the Chinese will find it interesting, and the Americans will also find it interesting, so won't this film be very interesting?Even if it is an ancient Chinese story that Americans are not familiar with, they can still read it very well!

So Mr. Jia is still awesome!A couple of casual pointers can make him a lot of money for the old man!
