China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Cheng Long was not very interested in disaster movies, but in order to fulfill his promise, he still watched it patiently.

The protagonist is an agent who loves his daughter deeply, but is unable to provide her with daily fatherly love due to work reasons. His disappointed wife takes her daughter to remarry someone else.

In order to make up for his debt to his daughter, he chose to retire early. Because of his work, he had seen too much darkness, so he was afraid that his daughter would be harmed. He worked hard to protect his daughter, but this also brought various constraints to her, which eventually caused a conflict between father and daughter.

contradiction.

At his daughter's birthday party, the gift he carefully prepared was easily outshone by the expensive horse given by her stepfather. Watching his daughter screaming with excitement and jumping at her stepfather, the protagonist couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

An old friend came to see the protagonist and persuaded the protagonist to take a private job, protecting a female star to and from a concert. It would take three hours and the reward would be generous. He agreed.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the concert. The protagonist took the female star out of the side door first, and the other partners were responsible for covering up. In the darkness, there was a dagger flashing behind the corner with a dazzling cold light. Waiting for the protagonist to protect the female star and walked to the corner.

At that moment, the cold dagger stabbed out suddenly.

"Bang bang bang bang"

The protagonist punches away the dagger with the first punch, punches the attacker on the head with the second punch, breaks the attacker's arm with the third punch, and then twists hard, and the attacker is pinned down with his head on the ground.

"Someone is coming!"

The companions arrived in time to take over and suppress the attacker. The protagonist protected the female star and continued to escape the scene. The other partners made a beautiful drift and parked the car in front of the two of them. The protagonist escorted the female star to the car in time.

After being out of danger, the female star was so frightened that she got into the protagonist's arms and cried non-stop.

Seeing this, Li Long stopped. At this time, he could see that this was not a disaster movie, but an action movie. There was a high probability that something would happen to his daughter, and then the protagonist would set off a hurricane to rescue his daughter.

The plot is not complicated, but the atmosphere is excellent, especially the scene when the protagonist escapes with the female star. Several agents have a clear division of labor and cooperate tacitly. The protagonist is responsible for leading the beautiful star away, and the others are responsible for covering, driving, and cooperating.

, the protagonist killed the attacker cleanly, but was not at all reluctant to fight. Instead, he quickly handed the attacker to his partner, and continued to escape with the female star.

When Cheng Long reads an action movie script, he will instinctively think about how to make the fight look good. Over time, now that he sees a simple description of the script, his mind can automatically imagine a fighting process.

And the description of this script made him feel very satisfied.

"A very mature script."

Cheng Long couldn't help but comment in his heart.

At this time, Cheng Long was already interested, and he continued to look down.

The protagonist's daughter has loved singing since she was a child. In order to thank the protagonist for saving her life, the female star promised to teach the protagonist's daughter to sing in person. The protagonist told her daughter the good news. Unexpectedly, what made her daughter even more excited was that she was going to France with her best friend.

Already.

The protagonist knows how dangerous the outside world is, so he firmly disagrees with his daughter going abroad alone when she is underage. In the end, the conflict between father and daughter intensifies, and the protagonist has no choice but to compromise and agree.

As a result, the protagonist's daughter did not just go to France, but went to Spain without permission. While the protagonist was talking on the phone with her daughter, a group of people broke into the hotel and kidnapped the daughter's best friend.

"Oh my god, they took Li Man."

"Dad, they took her away!" my daughter suddenly cried on the phone.

"you listen to me……"

His daughter is in danger. The protagonist comforts his daughter while quickly taking out the tool box.

"Did you meet anyone on the plane?"

"No."

"Where's the airport?"

"No—no, Pete."

"Pete? Who is Pete?"

"I have no idea."

"Does he know your address?"

"He works as a taxi with us."

The protagonist asked as he quickly took out various devices and quickly connected his mobile phone to the device.

"Dad, they are coming."

"Listen Kimmy, stay focused and don't get distracted. How many of them are there?"

"Three...four...I'm not sure."

"Where are you?"

"I'm in the bathroom next door."

"Go to the next bedroom, lie under the bed, hide it and tell me."

"Dad, I've hidden it."

"Kimmy, listen, the next thing is very important - you will be captured by them - Kimmy, concentrate, this is very important, keep your phone on the ground, you have five seconds, or ten seconds, time is running out

"Concentrate and tell me everything you see, hair color, eyes, height, scars, etc., everything you see, do you hear it?"

Footsteps sounded.

"When they come, I can hear them, remember them, and pay full attention."

The visitor spoke a bunch of foreign languages ​​and then left the room.

"Dad, I think they might...Dad...has a big beard, is 1.8 meters tall, and has a tattoo of the moon and stars on his right hand."

The daughter's screams gradually disappeared, the room became silent, and the protagonist slowly picked up the phone.

"I don't know who you are or what you want, but I can tell you that I have some special methods that I have learned during my long career, and this is the nightmare for people like you.

.If you let my daughter go, then this matter ends here. I will not go to you or track you down, but if you don't stop here, I will find you - I will find you,

Then I’ll kill you.”

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Good luck."

…

After reading the script, Cheng Long immediately called director Tang Jili and asked him to come to his room immediately.

"It's so late, what's going on?"

Tang Jili asked as soon as he entered the door.

Cheng Long handed him the script in his hand and said, "Read this first."

The two came to the sofa and sat down. Cheng Long poured a cup of tea for Tang Jili, who looked at the script in confusion.

""Taken", a disaster movie? Where did the script come from?"

"Li Yuansheng, the deputy director of the museum, asked me to read the script for his child. It's hard for me to refuse even if a strong dragon cannot defeat a local villain. This is an action movie script. You should read it first."

Tang Jili was a little confused. Director Li asked Cheng Long to read the script. Cheng Long would just read it and make a few casual comments tomorrow. Why did he need to be called here specifically for this matter?

However, since Cheng Long specially asked him to come here, it meant that this script was very important, so he read it patiently.

The beginning is quite satisfactory, setting up the image of a man experiencing a mid-life crisis. This setting is very common and classic, such as the "Die Hard" series starring Bruce Willis.

The protagonist of that drama also had a tense relationship with his wife and children because of his work.

However, it can also be seen from the side that the script is very neatly written and organized.

He continued to read.

His calmness when his daughter was captured, his professionalism when he traced her whereabouts, his ruthlessness when he entered the enemy's nest, his cold-blooded cruelty when he interrogated the captives, his decisiveness when he shot at his fallen friend's wife, and the enemy put a knife on her neck.

The protagonist shoots without any delay.

Tang Jili quickly read the plot and handed the script to Cheng Long.

"You want to buy the script?"

Cheng Long nodded.

"I want to act in it myself. I will start this project after "Myth" is completed."

Tang Jili nodded.

"This script is very good. There is no problem in buying it. This book is very suitable for you."

Cheng Long asked: "How much is appropriate?"

Tang Jili said: "The market for scripts of this level ranges from 100,000 to 300,000 yuan."

Cheng Long nodded: "Then three hundred thousand. The successful filming of the "Myth" project cannot be achieved without the full support of Director Li."

Tang Jili nodded: "I think it will work."
