One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-Three. Set of Shots and 1 Copy of 2 Shots

"Director Wang's script can achieve great results with a small cost!" Chen Hang sent a rainbow fart.

Wang Yifan didn't take it seriously.

Since Chen Hang can accept it, he naturally doesn't care.

In fact, for these domestic directors, it seems that there are very few opportunities to direct Hollywood movies, but for Wang Yifan, this is really nothing.

Of course, the main reason is that he has golden fingers.

His project, no worries at all.

"So, Director Chen, do you have any specific ideas? Or continue with science fiction?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

Chen Hang shook his head and said, "Let's forget about sci-fi. Filming sci-fi in Hollywood is indeed a bit of a trick. I just hope to prove myself in commercial movies."

Wang Yifan nodded.

If Chen Hang really wants to make a sci-fi movie, Wang Yifan probably has no good solution.

Because many sci-fi movies need the support of relevant departments. In China, there is no problem, but in Hollywood, there is no problem at all, but because it is a Chinese director, there is a problem.

It's not that Wang Yifan has delusions, thinking that there are always people who want to harm me, in fact, this is true.

Most of the time, sci-fi movies involve some technology-related things, but he is not worried about Hollywood. What he is worried about is that the American authorities will come up with some moths.

This kind of thing has not happened before.

It can be said that I understand everything!

"How about an action movie?" Wang Yifan suddenly thought of a movie and asked.

Chen Hang was stunned for a moment and said, "Action movie?"

It's not Chen Hang's hesitation, it's an action movie. In fact, in the current market, it's already considered a bad street movie.

Because, for action movies, it can be said that it is more difficult to innovate, and most of the routines have already been used.

Therefore, there are still many action movies every year, but there are really not many that can really explode or achieve ideal results.

"I have an idea here. I can even make two films directly, one for the American version and one for the Chinese version." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Chen Hang was a little surprised when he heard that.

"Two beats per book, Director Wang means..."

"It means that Director Chen can try to shoot two movies at the same time." Wang Yifan really didn't have this idea at first.

But he suddenly felt that this model could be tried.

Hmm, that should be very interesting.

In the past, it was not uncommon for one book to take two shots.

For example, "Infernal Affairs" is considered to be a movie with two shots, and both sides were very successful.

However, it is the first time that one book has two shots, but it is also directed by the same director.

Difficulty, of course.

If it is really necessary to take two shots for one book, or if it is a set shot, then the workload and difficulty of the work must be much more complicated.

But not necessarily impossible.

To be honest, the more Wang Yifan thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Of course he can't guarantee that both films will be successful, but this model is very interesting, isn't it?

What Wang Yifan thought of was "Taken"!

To be honest, frankly speaking, "Taken" is not a particularly awesome idea, it just keeps fighting...

"Taken" looks at the setting at first glance, completely copying "True Lies", "Die Hard"......

It's all about saving families...

The agent returns and finds that his wife or daughter has been kidnapped, and shows off his power... This kind of movie is not easy to sell...

"True Lies" back then can be said to be a typical example of this genre, right?

But what about the result? It only sold more than 100 million dollars in the United States.

In the previous life, "Taken" was also not favored by Hollywood, otherwise, it would not be the French film company's turn to do it.

So why was this movie able to achieve greatness with a small amount in its previous life?

Of course there is a reason.

Because this movie is really cool!

The biggest selling point of this movie is clean action scenes, fast editing, and simple plot. Action scenes are often about violence, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye...you kill Keanu Reeves' dog, he kills your whole family!

No, it should be that you kidnapped the protagonist's daughter, and he wants revenge.

There is also political incorrectness-the background is very realistic, reflecting the rampant Western immigrants in Europe, controlling the gangster business such as luxury goods and pornography.

Under the pressure of the "politically correct" left-wing forces in the West, few films dare to face these things directly, otherwise they will be labeled as "racist".

Of course, these can be circumvented, and if this kind of film is made in Hollywood, to be honest, it is nothing!

Someone in the previous life analyzed why "Taken" was able to counterattack successfully when such "True Lies"-style bad street movies have already flooded?

And there is one reason for the conclusion, that is, anti-routine!

This anti-routine refers to the routine of anti-Hollywood traditional action movies.

So what are the characteristics of traditional Hollywood action movies?

Hollywood action movies with traditional routines generally have a "wonderful three minutes" opening, using a wonderful action scene to get the audience excited first, and then turn to the main plot, and then interact with each other with urgency, action scenes and emotional scenes. The adjusted rhythm pushes the film to the extreme.

And "Taken" can be said to clearly separate the emotional drama from the action drama!

Of course, this movie also has flaws, probably because the director is French, so the opening scene is a mess, which is considered to be a relatively big flaw.

Of course, the rhythm design of the subsequent action scenes is so tense that there is no room for rest, which can be said to subvert the traditional Hollywood action movies!

In fact, "Taken" was felt uncomfortable by many Chinese audiences in the previous life, complaining that the opening scene was slow.

But "Taken" succeeded, so it was touted later that this kind of "procrastinating" emotional drama actually played an important role. The feelings for the characters, the father's meticulous care for his daughter, and the emotional generation gap and running-in between the father and daughter will undoubtedly resonate with many audiences.

If Wang Yifan was allowed to shoot, he would definitely not shoot according to the original work.

Because, the previous plot is indeed a bit too procrastinated.

At least, this movie, at the beginning, explained the professional background of the actor, and didn't directly have a scene that really highlighted his awesomeness.

In Wang Yifan's opinion, commercial movies should have this kind of drama.

At the very least, let the actor show how awesome he used to be.

Closer to home.

Chen Hang was also very interested in the action movie that Wang Yifan mentioned, and it can still be shot twice, and he can try to shoot these two movies at the same time.

Because, in fact, it is not uncommon to take a set shot, but this kind of set shot with two shots in one book is really the first time.
