Chapter 1126: Gossip (14)
Chapter 45: Gossip (14)
In fact, Mahua started out as a satirical comedy.
"Charlotte's Troubles", "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "The Donkey Gets Water" are all like this.
The keen observation of social issues and contradictions, the relatively sharp analysis of human nature, and the ability to inject these observations into some novel forms have made him a pioneer in a certain sense.
However, the subsequent "Shameful Iron Fist" including "Walking on the Moon" seem to have retained Kaixin Mahua's consistent high-concept habit of not shocking words and never ending, but at the same time, they no longer have the rare criticality of the early days. These movies It has become a repetitive routine.
Especially "Walking on the Moon", the whole comedy baggage is very low-level...
The lowest level of making a fool of yourself, a little dessert in your spare time, a little joke to prevent the situation from being too embarrassing...
rather than a penetrating structure.
Yes, it is adapted from the Korean comic "Walking Alone on the Moon", but don't you see the obvious irony?
The entire film takes 100 minutes to show that we must fight against gods and heroes. Shen Teng is an ordinary person who tries his best to survive and return to earth.
Then in the last twenty minutes, you suddenly began to analyze Shen Teng's heart and asked Shen Teng to voluntarily dedicate himself to saving the earth...
You’ve been struggling for so long, how come you’ve come to your senses now?
You can't make a movie without sensationalism, right?
Even if you design the ending, Shen Tengzhu tried his best to fall back to the earth, and then found out that Ma Li went to the moon...
This kind of O. Henry-style ending is much better than the hero sacrificing himself!
Shen Xudong came forward to find seven or eight screenwriters, then adapted and added some content, and deleted the "highlight" ending. According to Zhao Shi's original work, the asteroid π that attacked the earth struck again, and the scientific personnel on the earth could only After temporarily adjusting the plan, Dugu Yue, who had learned all the knowledge about space machinery, could not leave the moon. He let the kangaroo sit in the escape capsule that returned to the earth, and he stayed on the moon to manually launch the remaining dozens of rockets with nuclear warheads towards the split. π in half.
The asteroid π was hit, but the fragments hit the moon. The earth avoided secondary destruction, but the lunar base was almost completely destroyed...
When Dugu Yue lost all contact with the earth, she lived alone in an underground secret room on the moon for a long time...
Ten years later, female scientist Ma Lanxing and others set foot on the moon again, looking for Dugu Yue to save the earth.
They only found in the basement that Dugu Yue had used Polaroid to record fragments of his life alone, including the photos he took of the earth slowly returning to life. Each photo had text written by Dugu Yue, which was plastered all over the wall...
Of course, the movie can't really be that tragic. The camera will scan the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Dugu Yue grows, and then at the end, Dugu Yue will shout "Ma Lanxing", and then it will end...
The setting of "Walking Alone on the Moon" is great: all the survivors on the earth can watch through live broadcast the life of one man and one mouse on the deserted island on the moon. This setting is so gripping, and together with the meteorite named π, it has become the whole story. The biggest hook of the film.
By the way, let Ning Hao be the producer...
Ning Hao also hates plots that start with comedy and end with tragedy...
If we follow conventional logic, Dugu Yue will definitely die, but this is a movie, there is no need to make it so miserable...
A group of people met and talked about other science fiction film projects that were being filmed, such as "Star Trek", "Blood of the Machine", "Shanghai Fortress" and "Terminator"...
In terms of setting, "Star Settlers" is similar to the action movie - Settlers: Humans began to walk out of the earth and soar to the stars. These alien colonists who are looking for new worlds among the stars are called Settlers...
During an outing, the spacecraft malfunctioned, and some people on the Pioneer fell onto an alien planet with a harsh living environment. They wanted to return to the spacecraft to save themselves and the survivors on the spacecraft...
Oh, the concept design, special effects, and art of "Starbringer" are shared with "Blood of the Machine"...
Well, this is also the real reason why "Star Hunters" has not been finalized after the release of "The Wandering Earth" - if it were released before "The Wandering Earth", it could still grab the title of the pioneer of science fiction movies. Now The situation is so bad that I don’t even dare to film it...
It is estimated that it will be directly transferred to the Internet in the end!
There is a high probability that it will not surpass "Space Community", and it is estimated to be on the same level as "Restart the Earth" and "Mars Mutation"...
As for "Blood Machine", Jackie Chan is in...
It’s destined to be an action-oriented science fiction film. If you’re already into science fiction and mecha, why don’t you get into action?
These two films passed directly, and "Shanghai Fortress" was discussed. Ning Hao said directly: "I feel that "Shanghai Fortress" is not suitable for science fiction..."
"I also read the original work. It's about the male protagonist's secret love for the heroine in the apocalypse?"
"Yes! In fact, this novel sets up a future apocalyptic background for love!"
"There is nothing wrong with love as the main plot - the main plots of "Titanic" and "Pearl Harbor" are all about love..."
"It's not that "Shanghai Fortress" is inappropriate, it's actually that Teng Huatao is inappropriate!"
"Teng Huatao is just an executor!"
In fact, investors have no concept of good and bad movies. Their goal is to make profits and make money.
As for whether you get scolded or not, that is not within the scope of consideration.
From 2014 to 2017, the mainstream profit of movies was the traffic economy; in 2014, represented by Guo Jingming's "Little Times" series, Douban scored 5.4 points and earned 450 million yuan; for the first time, the movie economy has "bringing its own IP" The definition is that the revenue of a film does not depend on the film’s reputation, but on the quantity and quality of the creative IP;
In 2014, just before the "Shanghai Fortress" project was established, from Jiangnan's idea, the movies, TV series, and games of "Shanghai Fortress" and "Kyushu" should be launched simultaneously, forming a three-hit effect;
The investors of "Shanghai Fortress" are Internet companies, and Internet companies have a special liking for the traffic strategy; when Jiangnan and the investors hit it off, the traffic strategy, with revenue as the goal, was already a certainty; Teng Huatao was just the executor. That’s all.
Jiangnan's romance novels are excellent. Especially the love he describes always leaves people with a lump in their throats and no way to complain...
Regarding Jiangnan, his 'good friend' commented: He likes to write about a girl who is not destined to belong to him, and at the same time he is always ambiguous and ambiguous with another girl - not just a spare ambiguity. The same is true for this novel. ——Yinxiang (former editor of "Jiuzhou Fantasy")
"Xudong, what do you think?"
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Who knows... However, a movie with love as the main line, bundled with "The Wandering Earth" for promotion, and also labeled as 'Chinese science fiction'... I am not very optimistic... Anyway, we will communicate together then. …It seems that there is a Chinese film industrialization process, and he was invited to join..."
