Chapter 700 "Alien"

There are many good stories, so writing them is quite a headache.

Precisely because there are so many good stories like this, Catherine always doesn't know which movie to choose when choosing.

After all, the things in my head are all classics...

Needless to say, Titanic, Jurassic, Jaws, etc., these things are all in Catherine's mind.

But because of Elsa's words, Catherine thought about what kind of movie she should make - maybe one about outer space.

To tell a story in space, Catherine has already chosen this one.

As a result, Catherine searched around and found that apart from "Star Wars", the most famous film in her mind seemed to be the legendary "Alien".

So, Catherine decided to make this film.

Alien is a classic science fiction image under 20th Century Fox. Its official name is xenomorph - God knows how to translate this coined word - in short, it is an extremely dangerous outer space life form.

In the story of "Alien", it is about the process of people fighting this monster.

Although I feel that the alien is a very powerful creature, under the creation of the heroic thinking of the Americans, the alien decisively becomes the stepping stone for the protagonist and is stepped on...

Although it is a bit bloody and painful in many places, overall, this is a good movie.

The final ending of the four films is that the protagonist returns to the earth, and by that time, the earth has become an almost deserted land...

Catherine has always believed that the plot of the fourth part is suspected of continuing the story, but the plot of the fourth part itself is not very bad. If the previous four parts are slightly adjusted, the story may be okay.

"...Well, by the way, the little girl needs to be replaced by a little boy..."

Catherine suddenly murmured.

"……What?"

Elsa obviously heard what Catherine just said.

"Ah, no, it's nothing, I'm just making up a story."

Catherine wiped her sweat.

The plot I just thought of was about Little Loli in the second part. Originally, Catherine thought it was so comforting to have such a healing little Loli in the film, and the end of the second part was also a healing ending.

.

——But it turned out that by the time of the third part, the film was definitely a lie.

When Catherine watched "Alien III" for the first time, she was depressed...

That sweet-tongued little Loli is actually dead...

...Well, Catherine actually knew the reason for this.

In the film, the female protagonist is frozen and asleep many times. As far as adults are concerned, her image is unlikely to change much.

But in "Alien II", the little girl was only one year old, but when she was three years old, the other party had grown up. However, in the film, the other party's age has not changed.

Therefore, this plot creates bugs.

Could it be that while hibernating, little Luo Li can grow up and become a royal sister...?

What a scam

It seems that based on this consideration, the producers simply thought of the simplest method-just kill the opponent directly.

Well, if it were a daughter, people would find such a plot unacceptable, but if it was a young lady, Catherine said there was no pressure.

You can kill one person, but you can kill a group of them without any pressure.

In Catherine's mind, Loli and Shota are two completely different creatures...

"Are you ready to make a movie?"

"Well, a horror movie about the universe."

Faced with Elsa's question, Catherine said this.

"What is it?"

Elsa asked.

"Well...it's about a very terrifying creature that can parasitize the human body, multiply wirelessly, and destroy the entire planet..."

Catherine thought for a moment and said: "This movie is called "Alien". It tells the story of a terrifying creature called 'Alien' that hunts humans... In the next 25 centuries, humans still have not discovered aliens.

At this time of human existence, humans have left the earth and entered the interstellar era. However, human interstellar travel in this era cannot rely on the effects of products like curvature engines. If people want to travel,

In fact, it was a hibernation journey. At that time, people completed the journey in sleep."

Catherine describes a "realistic" story.

In addition to those mysterious and mysterious stories, science fiction stories similar to this kind of well-founded stories are also one of the most popular films.

——Well, as long as it seems reasonable on the surface, it's basically fine.

However, Catherine's setting idea clearly attracted Elsa, so she continued: "At this time, the Umbrella Company's interstellar ship 'Nosmo' is a large commercial transport carrying 7 crew members.

ship. It is returning to Earth with a large amount of iron ore.

The crew who were in a dormant state were awakened by the main computer midway. It turned out that the spacecraft received a set of signals. According to the instructions they received, they had to change their voyage, trace the cause of the incident, and take appropriate rescue activities. However, no one expected that,

This is a trap..."

"...Umbrella?" Elsa asked strangely.

"Don't interrupt, it's your protection."

Anyway, the name can be changed later. If you do this, you are just borrowing a name...

(By the way, who wrote this "Alien"...?)

Just when Catherine thought about this matter, her brain immediately began to mobilize, and the dusty consultation was quickly found in her mind.

The screenplay for "Alien" was written by Dan O'Bannon.

He screened a comedy - "Dark Planet" in the theater in 1974. However, the audience who watched the comedy did not laugh. From then on, Dan understood that comedy is a very personal thing, and everyone can contribute to it.

Different things make people laugh. Some people think that the same thing is funny, while others think it is not. Dan withdrew from the field of comedy. When he was hit, he also understood: Although the things that make people laugh are not the same, they still make people laugh.

People fear the same things.

So, a few years later, Dan remade "Dark Planet" from the ground up and turned it into an out-and-out horror movie--that is, "Alien."

Dan and Ron Sussett spent a total of three weeks outlining the script. Except for a robot character that was later added by producers David Giller and Walter Hill, the film basically followed the script.

are consistent.

At first, the producers could not accept the writing style of Dan and Ron Sussette, but in the end they accepted the film and adapted the script in their own style without changing the author's original intention, so that the audience could truly feel the film.

To the kind of horror that comes from outer space.

However, from Catherine's point of view, the robot in the first film was basically used to hack current computer technology, but this role has to be said to be very important.

And Catherine feels that the artificial humans in the second part seem to give people a more mysterious feeling.

So when thinking about the script, Catherine was considering whether to follow the original version or the movie script.

At this time, Dan probably didn't know where to put the soy sauce, so Katherine had no pressure to plagiarize now.

Of course, even if the other party wrote "Dark Planet", it was just a dark comedy, so there was no psychological pressure on Catherine's plagiarism this time.

(But if I just follow the original script, wouldn’t I be a huge failure?)

Catherine suddenly felt that if she filmed the film according to the original script, it would be a bit too sorry for herself?

She decided to modify the script slightly.

However, the script of "Alien I" itself seems to have no flaws, and Catherine also seems a little unsure of how to start.

"Well... let me draw this guy's settings first."

Catherine decided to draw the appearance of the alien first, and then use this appearance to inspire herself to solve the problem.

In Fox's official setting, the alien species is oviparous and viviparous, with basically the same appearance and structure. However, after parasitizing other substances, it can absorb the excellent ingredients in the host's DNA and use it to transform itself. 1

The adult body is about 2.4 meters tall, and its appearance characteristics will be adjusted according to the host's DNA.

To be honest, although Catherine has read "Alien" and studied it in college, her real understanding of "Alien" and aliens still comes from a certain novel about Chu Dajun.

In this novel "Infinite Horror", "Alien" is the second world experienced by the protagonists, and Chu Xuan's bug theory is also very famous.

However, Catherine did a special research on the history of Alien, and found that the bug was only caused by different translated versions...

Well, backward translation not only harms others and ourselves, but can also be said to be the most evil existence in the world.

By the way, in addition to Alien, there is also "Predator".

20th Century Fox has two blockbuster film series: "Alien" and "Predator". In 1979, Ridley Scott's "Alien" was just released, and critics and audiences applauded it. The film's success

Directly spawned three subsequent sequels (

Directed by James Cameron, David Fincher, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet respectively). In 1987, another movie "Predator" reflecting the ravages of outer space creatures on the earth was released (directed by John McTee

Ernan, the most well-known movie is also

"Die Hard"), the hard-core action star Arnold is at the moment of his popularity, and "Jungle Confrontation" made people excited. However, the subsequent sequels really followed the old saying of "the dog's tail continues after the dog's tail". The powerful human enemies in the two series were

The combination of Aliens and Predator mainly comes from the comic "Aliens vs Predator" of the same name published by Dark Horse Comics. This comic not only formed a series of games, but also produced many comic peripheral products.

What if you start shooting from **p...?
