Coquettish Rebirth

After the overall plot design, Jia Hongjian modified the settings of the characters' personalities.All in all, it is to prevent Lao Mouzi from getting so many actors. The assassin does not need three people, one or two is enough.Then the personality change should be more mellow and natural, not too blunt, and Qin Shihuang had better not kill such an assassin in the end...

After such an overall ax is over, Jia Hongjian watched Lao Mouzi writing down his pen, while he was thinking.When Lao Mouzi's recordings were almost over, Jia Hongjian said quietly, "But if you shoot like this, we Chinese intellectuals will probably scold you to death..." Eh?Lao Mouzi was taken aback at that moment, scolding him to death? "Because I gave up art and moved closer to business? I'm not afraid of that. They scold me as much as they like. Anyway, I can't lose a piece of meat..." Lao Mouzi grinned after he was stunned, and said so.

"No, how can it be so simple... Don't you think about what age group our Chinese intellectuals are. Basically, they are a group of people who have experienced going to the mountains and going to the countryside. You are not a group of people. I don’t know their temperament, all kinds of scar literature, all kinds of crying about the bitterness and tears of going to old and young frontier and poor areas. It seems that because China has such a powerful political leader, they are forced to go to the countryside. So they always feel that the powerful state power is a potential threat to them, that it may deprive them of a good life at any time, and send them to hell. Can they not hate power? These people, use In the words of the chief designer, it is just crying and futile! Did they really think that they could have a good life if they stayed in the city? It was because of the lack of industrialization and the jobs were too scarce, but education was too popular all of a sudden. , There are too many educated young people! There is no way to arrange jobs for them in the city. If they don’t find something to do for them, they will find something to do for the country when they are free!” Jia Hongjian said with a curl of his lips.

That's right!For example, in Spain in the five European pig countries in later generations, the youth unemployment rate is as high as about 50%, and all kinds of young people go on strike and walk directly. How much trouble has it caused the country?And all kinds of crime rates are also increasing frequently!This is the consequence of not being able to arrange jobs for enough young people!Like the various Egyptian turmoil that followed, weren't they all caused by the lack of work for young people?At the same time, it is like when China just reformed and opened up a few years ago.Then why did the country's security deteriorate rapidly in four or five years?Why are you forced to start cracking down in the end?According to the research of some sociologists.This sudden decline in social security is largely due to the reform of the social system. Suddenly, some people began to restrict labor and have nothing to do!Then this will easily lead to the rise of various "vigorous social groups" similar to the underworld!

If we hadn't figured out a way to digest this group of young laborers back then.Staying in the city is a huge hidden danger.Just like a ticking time bomb!It's even possible that if the group of intellectuals who are still crying now don't go to the countryside.It is possible that several of them will be caught and jailed or even shot for various crimes!It is estimated that by then, these people will cry and say that the country is sorry for them and has not arranged enough jobs for them.Didn't give them a good life...

As soon as Jia Hongjian said this, Lao Mouzi was a little dumbfounded, "They...Mr. Jia, what do you mean...they think our Qin Shihuang is...who? They...they think...we Is it to reverse the case for that era?" After saying this, the expression of the old Mouzi changed a little!He knows the meaning behind this! "Well, for sure. No matter how we shoot, those intellectuals will compare Qin Shihuang with our leader. Unless we are clearly blacking Qin Shihuang, unless we are satirizing socialism and authoritative leaders in various details, otherwise in that From the perspective of intellectuals, we are bowing our knees to the authoritative government, we are traitors and traitors, we have become the lackeys of the government, shouting for the government..."

Having said that, Jia Hongjian couldn't help laughing!He remembered those film reviews of "Let the Bullets Fly" in the later generations. What commented that "horse-drawn train" was "Marxist-Leninist"?Don't these people know that every movie Jiang Wen made has a train scene?They don't know that in film studies, some people use trains and guns as a symbolic concept of a man's "masculinity"?They don't know that from the perspective of film artists, "the train enters the tunnel" can be regarded as a man's little Ding Ding entering the girl's "underneath"?The group of intellectuals who commented on "Let the Bullets Fly" all thought that Jiang Wen was insinuating against the authoritative leader. They always felt that Jiang Wen was resisting the current system just like them.But what they didn't realize was that this Jiang Wenna was a die-hard revolutionary!This buddy filmed "Let the Bullets Fly", which is equivalent to a "Chinese Revolutionary History", okay?If you continue to go down the row, then a group of younger brothers and sisters will definitely go to the big city to have a good time, and then the protagonist will go to clean up the house and get rid of the revolutionary traitors!What does this mean?

So it can be seen from such a incident alone that the group of intellectuals in China has almost reached the point of no brains, that really determines the brain by the ass!As long as you find that the buttocks may be closer, you will jump up and praise in all kinds of excitement!It's almost like waving the flag! "Then... Teacher Jia, what do you think we should do? Shall we...shall we change it?" Lao Mouzi asked humbly, a little worried.

"Changing what? Let them scold if they want to! They have nothing else to do but scold!" Who knew that Jia Hongjian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Besides, this What are you doing for the film? You are trying to commercialize the film, right? So what you should pay attention to is not the comments of the literary and art circles, but the evaluation of investors and audiences. As long as the audience’s evaluation is good, people will continue to spend money Buy movie tickets, if you can earn back money for investors, that’s fine! Then there will be a steady stream of people who are willing to invest money in you in the future, and let you make movies to help them make money. In this way, you can shoot whatever you want in the future, maybe In the future, you can make a movie with an investment of 10 billion. But what about those people? They are just arguing, what else can they do? Can a group of people stop and beat us in the middle of the night? It’s good for them to have the courage Already!"

After Jia Hongjian was so integrated, Lao Mouzi remembered that he was going to make a commercial film, not a literary film.It's not for winning awards, it's not for pleasing various intellectuals and film critics!Then, if this is the case, you can naturally ignore them!And such a way of handling it really fits the character of his Lao Mouzi!He is an old man who keeps things in his heart, and never speaks back when others want to scold him.But what he wants to do, he will definitely keep his head down and study it without making a sound!Seeing that Jia Hongjian, the investment boss, is not afraid of being scolded, what else is he afraid of?Can you lose a piece of meat if you are scolded?

"Okay, then I understand!" Lao Mouzi nodded, and read again the advice he had just recorded from Jia Hongjian, "Then Teacher Jia, if there is nothing else, I'll go back and digest you first. What are you talking about, and then change the script?" "Okay." Jia Hongjian nodded, "But what about photography and makeup in the future, you try to find the best in our country. We are going to open up a new Lu, my set of "Tang Monk" is basically based on American rules. Although most of them are Chinese, the important positions are still in charge of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States. For the current film, you should try to use mainland ones, we You also need to cultivate your own team... By the way, there is another thing. When you ask the art director to design clothes, try to design each person with different hairstyles and different colors of clothes, and then try to keep the color of each person's clothes as fixed as possible. Don’t change when you come down. Foreigners have never seen too many people of the yellow race. When they suddenly look at a few unfamiliar faces, they are prone to face blindness, and they can’t tell who is who. We need to help them separate their roles from hairstyles and clothes..."

Jia Hongjian is not worried!He has watched so many American films, but sometimes he may actually become face blind when he sees white people in some films!Especially when the two protagonists are not well-known, and their faces look a little alike!That's really when watching a movie, you always have to devote part of your energy to thinking about who is who, so as not to mistake the characters.And in such a situation, how can you devote yourself to watching the plot?Just like in Japanese anime, in order to save costs, it is said that the faces of the characters are actually similar. In many cases, girls are distinguished by the difference in hair color and clothes!Of course, this simplest method can be used!

Lao Mouzi quickly wrote these down, and then looked at it again and again. After it was all right, he left Huaxia Hi-Tech.After leaving Huaxia Hi-Tech, he recalled the content Jia Hongjian pointed out to him on the road, and he really had to admit that Jia Hongjian was really young at such a young age!He really can be his teacher!Look at others, how deeply they think about the market!Not to mention anything else, after such an education, Lao Mouzi's confidence in the future box office of this film in the United States has greatly increased!

Without Jia Hongjian, he really didn't know anything about the American market!And I didn't know that I put the market considerations before the script conception!So if there is no Jia Hongjian, when he writes such a script, he will write it according to his own ideas and aesthetics, and then think about whether Americans will like it.But thinking about it, it is impossible to know, so in the end it is very likely to follow such a first version of the script!And such a success rate, how can there be a higher success rate under Jia Hongjian's guidance!So to have Jia Hongjian as a producer, I am really happy!
