Chapter 651 The Weirdest Movie in History! (Second more please subscribe!)

It was September, and Tang An finished dealing with some things, and then began to devote himself to the creation of the script.

That military film is naturally "Operation Red Sea".

As one of the best modern military films in China, "Operation Red Sea" is no worse than "Wolf Warrior 2" in terms of quality.

It's just two different types. When it was released later, there were a lot of arguments between fans of both sides.

One is individual heroism, and the other is more focused on the team. They both do well in their respective directions, but they have different focuses.

Fans of "Operation Red Sea" complained that "Wolf Warrior 2" is illogical and too fake. In fact, both movies have illogical and fake parts.

Any movie, especially a commercial movie, can find a lot of holes in it.

It is a movie just to attract the audience's attention, it is impossible to be truly real.

Exaggeration is a way of expression.

The audience doesn't care whether it is true or not. Sometimes if you insist on writing on the truth, not only is it less enjoyable, but most of the audience who don't understand it will think it is untrue.

Writing a novel, the protagonist graduated from high school and failed to enter university. He started as a bum and cheated all the way to become a ministerial-level senior official.

Is it real?
Most people will definitely find it unreal.

But it happened, real people!
The reality is like this, you never know how weird things are happening.

It is impossible to pursue truth in artificially created movies. As long as there are no major flaws, and the story can be justified and told well, then the plot of the movie is qualified.

"Operation Red Sea" also has many loopholes. In fact, the more popular the movie, the more loopholes, because too many people have seen it.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is even more unreal in order to exaggerate personal heroism, but this film cannot be real, otherwise it may not be so cool.

In comparison, "Operation Red Sea" is real enough, enough.

After finally rescuing the hostages, the captain still has to grab yellow cakes (nuclear materials), which is very unreal in terms of the discipline of our army.

But that private action is just a very correct and even successful plot design for a commercial film.

As a commercial film, the emotions of the audience must be taken care of.

After an 8-member team sacrificed 2 disabled and [-] disabled, as the captain, he led the team to avenge his teammates under the signboard of "we can't ignore the yellow cake"-this is very logical.

Aren't you angry when your teammates sacrificed?

Don't want revenge?
But the task has been completed, how to take revenge?

That's against discipline!
However, playing side-by-side, using "anti-nuclear" as an excuse to get revenge,
This is very logical and normal thinking.

Discipline is dead, but the captain is a living person, a living person of flesh and blood.

In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong also destroyed Heiyun Village for the sake of the monk. In "Shun Liu", Shun Liu finally shot.

Conversely, if the plot ends when the mission is completed and the two sacrificed, as a normal audience, would that be acceptable?

How can terrorists be so arrogant and still get away with it?

What about the saying "Those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away"?

It's too uncomfortable to leave two sacrificed martyrs and go back to China!
The audience is unhappy, it is the director's fault!

So there must be revenge!
The villain must die!
In the most classic domestic undercover movie "Dragon and Tiger", Zhou Runfa died, but the villain Zhang Yaoyang was still alive, and most of the audience died of aggrieved in the end.

In "The True Colors of Heroes", Zhou Runfa also died, but the audience will not feel aggrieved, because the villain Li Zhixiong also died, and they will only feel tragic and sad.

And the role of the reporter was also criticized.

In terms of rhythm, it is also completely different from "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Wolf Warrior 2" is a standard commercial movie rhythm. The protagonist encounters one threat after another, which is dizzying. Especially in the end, Leng Feng kneels to send the heroine to the plane, but the plane is bombed in the blink of an eye. This plot design is very good.

Songs and movies all pay attention to cadence, high and low, fast and slow, closing and releasing, foreshadowing and climax.

Even the primitive behavior of human beings pays attention to rhythm and cannot be stuffy.

But "OPERATION RED SEA" is not like this. There is a 10-20 minute battle scene every now and then, and the whole process is full of climaxes, which will also cause visual fatigue.

However, there are also some emotional expressions in the gaps, which can be regarded as allowing the audience to take a breath.

Another one, too bloody.

The first version of the script does not need to be too detailed, and there are reviews by the departments of Optoelectronics, Junwei, and the Ministry of Foreign Education, etc., first write a notebook and submit it, anyway, it will be changed later.

Besides, the book is one thing, and it may be another thing to shoot it out, and you have to go under the scissors for a while.

It took Tang An more than half a month to write the nearly [-]-word script. Although it was not the final version, there were so many departments to review it, so he couldn't deal with it casually.

In the end, I read the whole article twice, and there was nothing wrong with it, so I copied it to a USB flash drive.

After leaving the office, he threw it to one of the secretaries in the secretary's room.

"Review the script, print it out and send it to the production department for review."

You don't have to do it yourself to correct typos, language problems, etc.

Zhou Li came over and asked, "Chairman, do you want to go out?"

"No, please Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu come to the office in half an hour, and I will go for a walk."

Tang An waved his hand, writing for more than half a month, really uncomfortable.

Walking around the company, looking through the screenwriter Curry in the production department, and looking in the editing room.

All the way to the screening room, the distribution department was watching a film, which seemed to be a costume film, so Tang An pushed the door and went in.

However, after watching it for 2 minutes, Tang An felt that something was wrong.

Isn't this the movie that cheated money?

"Stop, stop."

Tang An immediately interrupted their movie watching.

A manager of the publishing department of Hantang Media who was sitting in the front row immediately turned around and glared.

Dare to yell in the screening room, the idiot of that department.

However, as soon as he turned his head and opened his mouth, he had prepared a national curse, but he couldn't say anything.

Tang An stood quietly in the back row, his 180-jin body jumped up from the chair instantly in fright, and he was more flexible than ever when turning.

The huge body bowed its head and stood opposite Tang An, a little confused.

"Chairman Dong, why are you here?"

"Manager Zhang, what kind of movie are you watching?" Tang An said as he glanced at the movie dealer in the front row.

"Oh, chairman, what are you talking about, "Big Talking Fairy", starring Miss Sun Li, Ekin Cheng, and Cai Shaofen."

Fatty Zhang quickly replied, after thinking for a while, he said, "An ancient costume movie, with an investment of [-] million yuan, wants us to release it, and the conditions are very good."

At this time, the film dealer also came over and extended his right hand respectfully.

"Hi Tang Dong, I'm Zhao Qing, General Manager of Integrity Culture."

However, Tang An didn't even look at him, and looked at Manager Zhang coldly.

"Manager Zhang, I remember you are not short-sighted."

"Ah no. Not nearsighted."

The fat man shook his head quickly.

"I'm not short-sighted yet, most of the movies have been shown. I think you are blind. You dare to take this kind of movie. It will ruin the reputation of the group. You can't watch enough with your whole body."

Tang An pointed at the fat man's nose and scolded him. He didn't expect to come here occasionally to see such a terrible thing.

The film dealer next to him had an ugly face, but he still smiled and said, "Dong Tang, what are you talking about, is there any problem with our film? Sun Li is also an actor under your banner."

Tang An glanced at him, "Which company do you belong to?"

The producer of the film was almost choked, and the co-author had just declared himself to be ignored.

But he still said honestly, "I am Zhao Qing, the general manager of Integrity Culture."

Fatty added, "Scholar's subsidiary company specializes in investing in movies in the Mainland."

"Scholar shares?"

Tang An thought for a while, this is the 80s Treasure Island scholar movie.

It has monopolized nearly half of the theaters in Taiwan, and film production also accounted for more than half of Taiwan at most.

One of the eight major filmmakers in Baodao, in the 90s, apart from Xinyicheng, Jiahe and Debao, 80.00% of Xiangjiang has scholars' funds.

The top film company in Xiangjiang Baodao back then is now doing this business.

Tang An shook his head, "Go and tell Cai Songlin that if you want to make a movie, do it well and don't make such a mess."

This "Big Talking God" is said to be a bad movie and even praised it, it doesn't deserve to be called a movie at all.

Three years ago, several investors made a film called "A Romance of Immortals", but halfway through the filming, they ran out of money, so the project was considered yellow.

But three years later, Sun Li and Cai Shaofen are now popular, and the original supporting role Lin Gengxin is also popular. This kind of integrity culture is thinking of continuing the filming.

But the contract period has expired, and neither the director nor the actors want to continue filming.

The company was also ruined. They found an art director from the crew at that time to be the director, set up a temporary crew, and finished filming the film in less than a week.

There is still half of the 90-minute movie, how did you make it without a director or actors?

This is not a problem, all the actors are stand-ins, and the stand-ins completed the remaining half of the scenes, and the production was completed in a few days in a hurry.

Not only the back view and the long shot are used as doubles, but the frontal faces are also doubles. Half of the movie was filmed with a few other actors. Watching the movie will feel like a sudden change of person.

Moreover, the double was so fake that he would die. Sun Li's double had big arms and a round waist, and his back didn't even look like it.

The film was released later, but there was no face-to-face meeting, offline promotion, or premiere, because the lead actor and director didn't go, but the poster was still there.

Sun Li and the others were also advertised on the promotional posters. The director and main creator were the same people from three years ago, but none of the stars mentioned this movie.

Regardless of which company he picked up, Tang An would definitely not pick it up, even if it was just for distribution, he might be scolded by the way.

Worse than a bad movie, there is no lower limit for any cutouts, it can be said to be the weirdest movie in history.

"Next time there is such a film that tarnishes the reputation of the group, you should get out of here. This time, a quarterly bonus will be deducted."

Tang An didn't pay much attention to them, and left without saying a word.

The film producer watched Tang An leave just like that, then looked at Fatty, "This is the boss."

"Get out, didn't you say that it was kept secret, Tang Dong saw it at a glance, and quickly got out with your copy."

The anger in Fatty's heart could only be directed at the film dealer. He left a word and hurriedly chased after Tang An with all his flesh. This was related to his job.

What a shame, Tang An came out with a dark face, and looked at all departments, making all the employees who were targeted by him a little uncomfortable, and their work was a little unnatural.
