Coquettish Rebirth

Soon, Spielberg got a creative copy written by Jia Hongjian.Of course he knew that Jia Hongjian had given Pixar an idea for an animated film, and before the combination, Jia Hongjian had also given him a movie idea for "Saving Private Ryan" for Spielberg. Of course he wanted to know about Jia Hongjian. Gradually, there will be some good ideas this time!From the creative point of view of the last "Saving Private Ryan", Spielberg thinks that Jia Hongjian's thinking mode is very similar to his imagination - both of them are more youthful, and they both want to express a deep-seated relationship. Thinking of the world.

What?Spielberg has done "Jaws" and "Jurassic Park" before?That's just for the sake of eating. Now that Spielberg is famous, he doesn't want to make this kind of commercial movies that are purely popular, but wants to use his experience in shooting commercial movies to take a relatively artistic route. Make that kind of movie that is popular and popular with literary and artistic core!Just like the "Saving Private Ryan" he is preparing now, the film is wrapped with various war scenes and other special effects, which will be very visually attractive to the audience, at least for many pairs of films. For audiences who are not demanding, buying a ticket and then buying some popcorn and cola, and watching "Saving Private Ryan" in the movie theater without thinking about it can be very enjoyable!

So Spielberg is of course curious, whether this creative script written by Jia Hongjian is a literary youth core that also has an easy-to-pack commercial shell!After he opened the creative case, he saw that it was written in the creative copy——In a beautiful town similar to Guiling in China, there is an apprentice panda who delivers food in a noodle shop. His Dad was always a duck.This panda has always heard that there are many people with high kung fu in China. His biggest dream is to make more money in the future, travel around the country to learn kung fu from those people with high kung fu, and then punch Nanshan Nursing Home... No, yes Eliminate the strong and help the weak, establish your own prestige in the rivers and lakes, make yourself the patron saint of ordinary people all over China, and make all women want to be with you.Makes all men want to be themselves...

Seeing this character setting, Spielberg's eyes lit up at the time. Of course he could see that this was a deliberate commercial design.What is the protagonist of the so-called commercial design talking about?It is to try to be as close as possible to the personality of the target consumer, and at the same time try to be as typical as possible to avoid being found by the target consumer to be inconsistent with oneself.From the perspective of the animation field, the design in Japanese animation is to make the protagonist as hot-blooded as possible. This is a "typical" example.It is easy to match the hot-blooded gene in the body of each target consumer, so that consumers can accept this protagonist.At the same time, some strange personal habits or concepts should not be revealed too much, so that consumers will not find it wrong.This is the same as releasing a song album. If it is too personal, there is no way for people to feel the same. It must be as popular and typical as possible, so as to gain the widest recognition.

Like Superman, Batman and others in American cartoons.Although they all have their own personalities, in some respects, they are all typical personalities extracted from ordinary personalities.For example, Superman is almost unprincipled. Although it is a bit harsh to say this, Superman is just a good person. Ordinary people in society have a good side, and they may have compassion from time to time. This Superman is Find this compassionate identification.And Batman and the like are the so-called dark knights, that is, to control violence with violence.Of course, ordinary people have a sense of identity - after being robbed by a gangster, who doesn't want to give the gangster a good meal?Even the principle that Batman does not kill people is based on the recognition of ordinary people, just like if ordinary people have their wallets stolen, they may want to beat the thief half to death, but if ordinary people are determined To beat the thief to death?This ordinary person is absolutely terrified, he still has a normal life!This kills people, maybe they will be sued, and normal life will be gone in the future!So in order to be as close to the thinking mode of ordinary people as possible.This is how the various principles of Batman come into being.

Jia Hongjian's role setting.The protagonist in it is a panda, but his personality is very young.Very young - want to learn cool kung fu, and then want to save the common people like the superheroes in Meiman, isn't this easy to be understood by young people all over the world?Which young man didn't have this kind of fantasy when he was a child?So this kind of role setting is easy to get the widest recognition!At least it can be said that just looking at the character setting at the beginning, Spielberg felt that Jia Hongjian was quite talented in movies!If Jia Hongjian wasn't a boss, it would be quite easy for him to find his place in the Hollywood film industry and become a well-known copywriter or playwright in the industry!

Jia Hongjian didn't know what Spielberg thought, and if he knew, he would definitely not tell Spielberg—he later saw how many people in the world didn't watch it all for free through the mainland's Internet. Various film and television works?Whether it's movies, TV dramas, animations, or comics, as long as he doesn't need money, he has basically watched them all. Even in his previous life, when Jia Hongjian was prodigal, he would put things on the computer all night. "look"!Fall asleep watching the show, wake up watching the show!So after seeing too many of these things, is it difficult to design a few characters or something?Not to mention that Jia Hongjian himself has watched "Kung Fu Panda"!

However, it has been too long since Jia Hongjian watched "Kung Fu Panda" in his previous life, so he can still remember a looming main line of the story, and basically forget the rest.But it doesn't matter, he is Chinese, isn't it easy to add some details about China?So in Spielberg's eyes, in Jia Hongjian's creative project, several NPCs living beside the protagonist—tiger, crane, praying mantis, monkey, snake, these guys who usually behave very honestly and dutifully , is actually a representative of the Five Elements Fist of a mysterious sect!

That's right, different from the original works in history, these Lianjiazi npcs are not just Lianjiazi, but they are very Chinese-style and live in seclusion among the common people!Just like in Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu", a tailor may be the successor of the Hong family's Iron Fist, and the charterer may be Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv!This kind of idea of ​​hiding in the city is the idea of ​​China!This is the idea of ​​a master among the people!

In Jia Hongjian's setting, in the future, he will practice the supreme stunt—the panda of Taijiquan, which has extremely high talent!What is a panda?Black and white bear!Isn't black and white the colors of Tai Chi?The so-called Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gives birth to four images, and four images give birth to eight trigrams, eight eight 64, infinite deficiency!This Wuji is "boundless, endless" in the Taoist concept, which can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of "Tao".

And what is Tai Chi?That is the ultimate manifestation of "Tao" slowly materialized, resulting in a primitive yin and yang undivided mass of vitality.In ancient mythology, it is equivalent to the egg before Pangu created the world!What is Liangyi?It is the yin and yang poles, that is, after Pangu created the world, the clear air rose and the dirty air fell!And what about Sixiang?That is southeast northwest!Also Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, Suzaku!And the gossip represents the heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountains and winds respectively, Qiankun Kanlizhen Gen Xundui!

How interesting it would be if there was a master for every meaning, and the final Tai Chi was black and white pandas playing Tai Chi!How much does this have an upgrade system?At least in Spielberg's view, these things designed by Jia Hongjian are very philosophical. Although he doesn't understand the philosophy inside, at least it feels very systematic!And another point, those masters are hidden among the people, which is very dramatic in terms of drama!Which audience would think that the ordinary old man next door who meets the protagonist every day may actually be a well-known master in the world?If this matter is discovered, how interesting and dramatic will it be?

In Spielberg's eyes, Jia Hongjian obviously didn't just want to make this idea into an animated film, but at least wanted to make it into two or three steps!According to the general plot designed by Jia Hongjian, the first part is from daydreaming to discovering that the ordinary people around seem to be masters, then he starts to impress the masters, and then slowly starts to learn the arts, mastering the five elements After that, he defeated the representative of the "Dragon Fist" in Wuxingquan - the "Dalong" who was imprisoned!

Next, it may be a representative of Wuxingquan, and gradually come into contact with masters all over the world, such as eight masters with gossip, for example, there are four masters on top of it, and it may be Liangyi in the third part, and finally That is to understand Tai Chi!Then you can become a master of a generation and save the common people!

The idea of ​​the story written by Jia Hongjian can be said to have an obvious upgrade system, and it is full of fun to upgrade. At the same time, the drama is full of tension, and various plot settings make Spielberg feel that many jokes can be inserted. At the same time, the turning point of the plot can also be made into various turning points that conform to the laws of the movie!It can be said that the creative copy written by Jia Hongjian is basically the most basic skeleton of a mature Hollywood best-selling movie!Next, we only need to find a group of playwrights to plump up this skeleton, fill in flesh and blood and appearance, and then it will become a masterpiece of a generation!
