Chapter 1021 Differences
"Thank you to the director and Yaya. I believe fans across the country are already looking forward to this movie. I hope that military-themed movies will rise and be loved by everyone."

When the two hosts heard what Yaya said, they were happy to support her.

Zhou Xia and Yaya didn't say any more, left the signature wall, walked upstairs along the red carpet, and soon arrived at the cinema upstairs.

At this time, most of the guests had already entered the theater and sat down in their respective seats, waiting to watch the movie. Only a few people were in the lounge or went to the bathroom.

Zhou Xia and Yaya came to their seats and sat down.

They were seated in the front row, so they could take the stage for an interview after the lights and shadows were over.

The large theater inside Xiahua Film and Television is different from ordinary theaters. There is a stage in front of the screen, so the front row is the best for watching movies.

In addition to them, the big directors who were in the waiting room just now, and the big shots from the circle who came to the premiere were also sitting in the front row.

Zhou Xia and these acquaintances nodded and greeted briefly. After greetings, as the movie screening time came, the entire theater fell silent, the lights went out, and the screen soon lit up.

In many cases, when a novel is adapted into a film, the original work is a short or medium story, and the word count is [-] to [-] words, which is the most suitable.

Otherwise, it is too difficult to do subtraction when editing long stories, and the changes are often unsatisfactory.

The original work of "Descendants of Yanhuang" was written by Zhou Xia based on the localization of Korean dramas. It became popular, and the total sales exceeded 40 million copies.

There are many characters in the original book, and there are also several supporting roles. Now after the adaptation, the supporting roles have been greatly deleted, and only part of the two main supporting roles have been retained.

Many plots of the two protagonists have also been cut, and only those that cannot be cut are kept.

Therefore, even if the movie shooting is strengthened in other aspects, it will not be as detailed as fans of the original book expect.

This was also what Zhou Xia was worried about, but there was nothing he could do about it.

If there are no deletions, just the love scenes between the protagonist and the supporting couple in the movie are filmed in every detail, and even four movies can't finish it.

Therefore, in order to strengthen the military action scenes in the movie and the rescue scenes in Africa, he made up his mind to delete these plots, and only he, the author of the original work and a director with great prestige, can do this.

Otherwise, even if other domestic directors and famous screenwriters do it, they will be madly dissed by book fans.

This can be seen in several test screening surveys, some fans filled in the low sense of presence for several supporting roles.

But movies are different from TV dramas, which require more conflicting plots. In the movie, there are more scenes facing several villains, which can strengthen the conflict, which is not in the original book.

With the appearance of the Xia Hua Film and Television logo and the names of the leading actors, and the words of director Zhou Xia's work appearing, the movie officially started.

The story of the movie starts very differently. It is not a traditional military action movie. There is a danger and mission or a major mission, and then leads to the protagonist and the storyline.

It started when two soldiers on vacation met a thief, their mobile phone was stolen, and then they had a misunderstanding with the hospital doctor. The hero and heroine fell in love at first sight.

As the plot continued, this led to special missions to participate in military competitions, protection international conferences, sea rescue, and missions in Africa.

The whole story, whether it is the love development of the two protagonists or the escalation of the battle plot, is very gripping and keeps the audience from being distracted.

Especially in the emotional drama between the two, after the initial love at first sight, as the two got to know each other better, their relationship deepened, and their work needs changed, some misunderstandings or conflicts also occurred.

The male protagonist is dating, and suddenly he is about to disappear to perform a dangerous mission. This puts the relationship between the two people to the test, and they even broke up helplessly due to various reasons.

In the end, the two met unexpectedly in rescue operations in the remote African continent, and finally renewed their relationship.

As for the battle plot, from the domestic protection heavyweight international conference, to participating in the international special forces competition, to combating pirates, rescuing hostages, and finally, during the African plague, conflicts with local armed forces fully demonstrated the richness of special display operations , support wherever it is needed.

Rather than the usual spy war blockbusters, or action movies, the task is guided by a main line, and it is a movie after completion.

In this regard, Zhou Xia did not imitate these conventions, he still insisted on the combat missions he faced in the background of the male protagonist, and connected the plot based on these.

This actually has some risks.

After all, there are many tasks, which will fragment the plot and cause the audience to ignore the main plot.

But this drama is different after all. The life and love of the hero and heroine are the main line, while the military action drama is attached to the identity of the hero.

He is the captain of a special forces unit, not a conventional combat unit.

Such four tasks are more in line with his identity, showing the demeanor of this kind of special warfare soldiers represented by the hero, showing that they are performing their duties, protecting the people, and sacrificing for the country.

The length of the movie is 120 minutes.

It takes a total of 75 minutes to perform these four tasks, and the rest are basically emotional scenes and cutscenes, so the plot is very compact.

Of course, in the Conservation International Conference and the final rescue mission in Africa, the hero and heroine met, and the emotional and action scenes also intersected.

Their relationship is also going through these times, and it has become stronger and stronger over time, rather than simply falling in love at first sight.

The film was officially shown at seven o'clock, and it was exactly nine o'clock when it ended.

With the heroine revisiting the old place, looking for the 'dead' male protagonist who couldn't find the body, the male protagonist appeared and the movie ended.

The lights in the theater were turned on, and the ending song "Descendants of Yanhuang" sung by Zhang Jingying continued, but not many people left the audience, and many of them stood up and applauded spontaneously.

Zhou Xia, Yaya, Zhu Yawen, and Qingzi stood up and walked onto the stage, bowed and thanked, and the host also began to host the interview after the premiere.

"Director, hello, I'm very touched after watching the movie. May I ask you, what is "Descendants of Yan and Huang"?"

The host Xie Lanlan asked in a somewhat excited and touching voice.

Immediately there was a burst of intense and enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Zhou Xia looked at the audience and smiled slightly, and the worries before were also lessened.

In terms of the content of this movie, it is called a "religion" work in the literary and art circles.

As a cultural person, the mainstream values ​​still pursue spiritual independence and freedom of thought.

Many people's views on the country and the government are more from the perspective of reflection and criticism, in order to promote the protection of the rights of more ordinary and vulnerable individuals.

Now that Zhou Xia is a big director, he can be regarded as a cultural person. Taking the initiative to shoot this type of film actually made many cultural people and the public look down upon him.

Zhou Xia still cares about this to some extent, at least he doesn't want some people to label him and affect the global screening of his movies.

He just wants to make a genre movie, and what he wants to express through the movie is a tribute to professional soldiers.

Of course, this is also a tribute to the country, the nation, and every Chinese.

The name of the movie "Descendants of Yan and Huang" is just like that, and it actually shows the feelings of family and country, love, work, etc. of ordinary descendants of Yan and Huang.

In the movie, because of the stories, love scenes, and the narrative style of the whole movie, it is more deep, subtle, and touching from the inside. It is not the kind of pure bloody action movie, so Zhou Xia did not arrange for the hero and his comrades to shout something special. Inspiring slogan.

Therefore, he is not worried about others criticizing him as a 'Wolf Warrior', and dares to face the criticism of those few people.

Anyway, he is content to do what he wants to do and make movies that everyone likes.

Difficult to say, the country is so big, you can not satisfy everyone's taste.

Wu Jing is like this, so is he.
