my time as a director

Taken is an action movie, the whole theme is a father saving his daughter, Journey to the Center of the Earth is an adventure movie, and the adventure team is also two families. "

Hollywood has thoroughly studied movies and knows what most attracts and resonates with audiences.

"Family, love, friendship, patriotism, every emotion that can resonate with the audience, as long as it is done well, the audience can pay for the movie. Li Lianjie's Huo Yuanjia sold more than 1 million yuan, and Jackie Chan's baby project , Mythology has never been able to break through the [-] million mark, let alone absolute, Huo Yuanjia's ability to break through [-] million has something to do with the core theme of this movie."

Although this argument is different from what I have heard in the past, but if you think about it carefully, the frequency of life and death is about the relationship between father and son, and the most touching thing about the moon is the relationship between two identical clones, which is better than the relationship between brothers.

"But Director Li, there are no such factors in a perfect world?" Wen Muye couldn't help asking.

Li Qian smiled, "Who said no, the relationship between the characters played by Zhang Hanyu and Wu Lei is similar to that of a father and son. This is the core of this movie."

"But it's not so easy to write such a good script." Xu Zheng said, he had been changing the script of Jiongtu before, making minor repairs, and after listening to Li Qian's speech, he seemed to have grasped something focus.

"It's not about making it too complicated, full of connotation and depth. Wu Jing is currently preparing a new movie, which is also an action movie. His script should come out soon. I'll show you when the time comes. It's simple and straightforward. But it’s also very attractive.”

Wu Jing?

The two of them knew that Li Qian asked Wu Jing to make a movie, but...

It's not that they look down on Wu Jing or something, it's because Wu Jing has never studied directing and is just an action actor. Even if he has already worked as a director, Langya is just a simple action movie.

It is really unbelievable that Wu Jing can write a script that is full of emotion and captures the hearts of the audience.

"Director Li."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived and was chatting when Wu Jing appeared on the set in a hurry and walked over quickly.

"Old Xu, Xiaowen."

After saying hello to Xu Zheng and Wen Muye, Wu Jing excitedly took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Li Qian.

"Director Li, I have finished the script, please show me."

From the capital city to Yunnan and Yunnan, and crossed half of the country, even though he was exhausted physically and mentally, Wu Jing still looked excited. He only waited for Li Qian to nod, and the preparation of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds could begin.

Wu Jing couldn't contain his excitement when he thought of the potential of his second film to be a big hit at the box office.

The outline of the script and the general plot were given by Li Qian. After thinking about the content of the script, I let Xu Zheng and Wen Muye read it first, and then asked the life producer to bring some food and drink over.

"Brother Jing, take a break first."

Wu Jing was also tired, it was summer again, he unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a whole bottle of water, looking forward to their evaluation of the script.

Just now Li Qian spoke highly of this script, Xu Zheng and Wen Muye were also very curious, so they got together to read it.

After a long time, the script was put down, the two looked at each other, and smiled wryly.

It was Xu Zheng who couldn't help but speak first, "Is this the story of the Hua Guo retired special forces fighting against the Nine Nations Allied Forces..."

Chapter 187 The wanted criminal and the little boy

"It's a bit ridiculous for the special forces of the Hua Kingdom to fight against the Allied Forces of the Nine Nations."

Xu Zheng was speechless after reading the script.

"Not nine, to be precise, it should be opponents from seven countries. One fell to his death during the airdrop, and there was a couple of killers together." Wu Jing immediately corrected. ,

Does this make any difference?

Xu Zheng and Mu Ye were still a little confused, the script was too messed up.

Huaguo retired special forces, Nanbang taekwondo master, muay thai master, top fighter of Neon's biggest gangster, African mercenary, former member of the Mirijian Marine Corps, underground boxing champion, international killer couple, England MI[-] agent.

These ten people were captured by a group of crazy international criminal groups to a small island in the Pacific Ocean and used as tools for a different kind of gambling.

This story is already a bit outrageous, but the protagonist kills all the other nine people step by step...

"Wu Jing, your script is too spoof."

Before Wu Jing could speak, Li Qian laughed first, "There is no rule saying that movies cannot be spoofs."

"However, this is too obvious. The Nanbang people, the Nihong people, and the Milijian people have all been beaten up by you." Xu Zheng smiled wryly.

"It's a typical thinking problem."

Li Qian shook his head, "In the movies of Americans, there are many spoofs of other countries, especially polar bears and us. They can do it, but we can't do it."

"Put this reason aside and think about it again. Is this script particularly simple and straightforward, cool and catchy?"

Xu Zheng and Mu Ye thought about it again, it really is like this, the plot is full of creativity, the retired soldiers from Huaguo hang and beat people from other countries, and there are several characters with more roles, not like supporting roles in pure action movies. of.

The muay thai master who smuggled his family to work in Xiangjiang, the killer couple with deep feelings who have been born and died countless times, and the African mercenary who misses his wife all the time, their endings are embarrassing and unbearable.

However, Xu Zheng still has another worry, "If this film is made, I'm afraid it will be controversial."

"Controversy doesn't matter, as long as the majority of viewers find it good-looking, it is entertainment for the public."

What kind of film can be free from controversy? No one will watch it without controversy.

Although Liangjian is so popular, there are also many scoldings on the Internet, saying that the director blindly filmed Jill, and people like Li Yunlong did not fit the social situation.

吴经也不觉得有什么不好的，他笑道，“凭什么我们的电影里，华国人就不能把外国人给揍个遍，爱批评批评。”

There was no major problem with the script, so Li Qian asked Wu Jing to prepare it himself. He already had the experience of directing and acting in a movie.

What's more, the shots of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that are close to 90% are all on the island, mainly about the fight between nine people.

"That's it for Brother Jing. We'll discuss the specific details at night when work is over. Then you find a few martial arts directors who are familiar with all kinds of fighting to draw the storyboard together. The action of this film should be more realistic. The identities of the respective characters have to design different fighting moves.”

"No problem, I'm familiar with this part, and I'm also studying various martial arts routines during this time." Wu Jing nodded, this is essentially a pure action movie, all the scenes are either fighting or about to He is also good at action scenes, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.

The crew still had to shoot, and Wu Jing had been on the go all day, so he went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep.

There was still a while during the lunch break, Li Qian continued the topic just now, and smiled at Xu Zheng and Mu Ye.

"How about it? In fact, the plot of commercial movies is quite simple. Find a genre and entry point that can make the audience happy to watch, and don't make it too complicated. Be straightforward, and then find some details that can touch people's hearts. It's a decent movie."

Xu Zhengdao, "I probably understand that the core of road comedies like People on Journey is the hilarious stories that happen when two people with very different identities get along along the way. Some touching places and shining points of humanity are used as embellishments, isn’t this the model?”

"Almost, but it still depends on your degree of completion, and don't try to be sensational."

Li Qian nodded and urged, "But the ending must give people hope and a vision for the future. Kind people will surely live a good life, and good people have a good home. The audience must have a sense of identity, and the universal The values ​​are the same, don't deliberately make a messy ending."

The director must change the script. Basically, there is no director who does not change the script. Xu Zheng is a very talented person. Li Qian still has to pay attention and don't change it.

Many directors like to reason in movies. They don't care what the audience thinks, they just want to instill their own thoughts in the audience through the movie.

Jinling, which has just been released for a few months!Jinling!That's it, as the most promising director of the younger generation in China five years ago, his professional level is also one of the best among the directors of the same generation, but the movie was shot like that.
