Entertainment, I just like making movies

"Sha Po Lang 2"!

The first book Wu Jing saved after returning to the mainland for development!

Since the plot takes place in Thailand and requires cross-border shooting, the filming was delayed for a long time.

Previous life.

This movie was only released 15 years ago. Relying on the excellent performance of the previous "Wolf Warrior 1", Wu Jing's popularity has greatly increased, and "Slaying the Wolf 2" has a box office of more than 500 million.

But that's it. The plot of "Slaying the Wolf 2" is too thin. Now that it is released ahead of schedule, it is impossible to get a box office of 500 million yuan.

The reason Wu Jing took out this book in advance was because he saw that "Tang Detective" was filmed in Thailand and was a hit.

He was itching in his heart and wanted to find an opportunity to release "Slaying the Wolf 2" as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in "Four Famous Catchers", he took out the script last night and asked Fang Ziheng to help him take a look.

To be honest, Fang Ziheng is very interested in "Slaying the Wolf 2".

Really interested!

The core of the movie tells the story of a policeman who endured humiliation, endured cruel torture, and finally persevered to eliminate a criminal organization in one fell swoop for the sake of his mission.

The concept of the story is very good. After understanding the outline of the story, people have the desire to read more.

But...how to say?

Wu Jing was probably influenced by the Hong Kong police and gangster movies, so the script he produced had no beginning and no end, and the plot twists were too abrupt.

What was originally a good story was turned into an action movie, which has exactly the same shortcomings as Hong Kong police and gangster movies!

After Fang Ziheng read the script, his first thought was to revise it.

The script needs major revision!

"Brother Jing, the beginning of the script doesn't work."

He opened the script, pointed to the first paragraph and said: "The protagonist appears in a cell and only briefly recalls that he is a policeman. This is very problematic.

At the very least, the protagonist’s mission must be clearly explained through memories, or at the beginning of the chapter. I’m talking about clarifying the mission! "

"Clear the mission!"

Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Can't it be a task to bring up the villain later and explain the organ trade?"

"That's too superficial. Organ trafficking by criminal groups in the later period falls into the category of plot stories!"

Fang Ziheng smiled and pointed out: "For example, when the protagonist is in a coma, he recalls the scene of accepting the mission. The organization told him that there are many dangers in his trip. He must protect his own safety, but also fight crime and trade organs. The criminals will be brought to justice!"

"This is called getting straight to the point, establishing a character for the confused protagonist, and making the audience feel more involved."

"You must know that the identity of the protagonist Chen Zhijie is not an undercover agent, but a policeman who was discovered by the crime. He does not need to keep his identity secret. After he wakes up in prison, he even has to take the initiative to investigate the situation and wait for the opportunity."

"And at this time, he discovered the prison guard Achai!"

"In this way, the plot logic in the first half of the movie will be more reasonable, and it will also pave the way for the protagonist to rise up and resist later!"

After Fang Ziheng finished speaking, he stopped speaking, giving Wu Jing space to think.

initiative!

Wait for your chance!

Wu Jing took a breath and murmured to himself.

In the original plot, the protagonist Chen Zhijie had been passive in the early stage, but he was able to rise up in the end because there were problems within the criminal group, which gave him and Achai an opportunity to take advantage of.

If you follow the director's modifications, it will become a shrewd and capable protagonist who cannibalize and disintegrate the criminal group bit by bit, and finally face off against the big villain Gao Jin!

Such changes were tantamount to completely overturning his previous settings.

Is it really good?

For a moment, Wu Jing was confused!

Fang Ziheng sighed: "Brother Jing, I know what you are thinking. You want to create a more powerful villain group, and you deliberately suppressed the protagonist and Achai in the early stage.

Wait until the later stage to highlight the difficulty of the protagonist's resistance, so as to show the final passionate Gao Chao! "

"Yes, director, that's what I think."

Wu Jing patted his thigh and grinned sheepishly.

"No need!"

Fang Ziheng shook his head and pointed at the character Gao Jin: "The strength of this character is inferior to that of Chen Zhijie and Achai. If the two were suppressed too hard in the past, and the good guy defeated the villain in the end, it would be a plot kill!"

Killing plot!

Wu Jing exclaimed, staring in disbelief!

He is not a rookie, so he naturally knows the meaning of "plot killing".

Many movies in Hong Kong do not have complete scripts before filming starts. During the filming process, the director takes arbitrariness and often creates villains that are too strong and the decent protagonists are unable to fight against them. In the end, they can only arrange plot killings.

This kind of showmanship is okay once or twice. The audience will find it novel and they will complain about it at most.

But every movie is like this, it’s a wonder the audience doesn’t get bored!

Over time, Hong Kong movies have become synonymous with no logic!

After the new century, Hong Kong films have been unable to open up the mainland market and attract audiences to cinemas. This is not without reason.

In addition to the investment and production being too petty and the actors being too stereotyped, the script was also poor.

"Over the years, plot killing has become one of the most rubbish ending techniques in film and television dramas."

Fang Ziheng turned to the end of the script and smiled softly: "For example, this Gao Jin, even if he does not die in the end, is seriously injured by Chen Zhijie and Achai and is taken to the hospital, vomiting blood and escaping, the audience can identify with him more, resonate with him more than killing him in the plot. association."

"I understand!"

"Director, thank you!"

Wu Jing turned around and solemnly thanked Fang Ziheng.

After being nudged by the expert, he looked back at the script of "Slaying the Wolf 2".

Full of loopholes!

No matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Fang Ziheng waved his hand and said sincerely: "Brother Jing, you try to modify it first. If you need it, come to me directly."

"After the script is finalized, we will discuss cooperation!"

"no problem!"

Wu Jing slapped his chest and smiled very happily.

afternoon.

Fang Ziheng put down his work and went to the supermarket with Liu Qianqian.

The two of them wore thick down jackets, sunglasses, and scarves, and left the hotel and went straight to the Ming and Qing Palace in the film and television city.

Go to the supermarket!

If you go to any supermarket, where can you buy toiletries when you come back?

When they arrived at the Ming and Qing Palace, Fang Ziheng spent money to buy tickets, and the two of them lined up to enter the palace like ordinary tourists.

The sun was just right at this time, and it was warm on my body.

The young lady stood in front, wearing a white down jacket. The long dress covered her knees, revealing a section of thickened jeans underneath.

The young lady also wore a white woolen hat on her head, with two crystal pendants hanging on both sides of the hat.

The crystal pendant swayed when the wind blew, hitting her hair that was blown away by the wind back and forth.

Maybe she had been waiting for a long time. The young lady stamped her feet, took her hand out of her pocket and put it to her mouth to breathe.

While breathing, he turned around and looked at Fang Ziheng.

"Hanhan, I'm cold"

"Well, put on your gloves."

Fang Ziheng took off his shoulder bag, took out a pair of pink gloves, and handed them to the young lady with a smile.

"Sissi, do they know you are coming out?"

This group of them naturally refers to Song Yi and Da Tiantian.

The three beauties established a preliminary friendship after going shopping yesterday.

"Know."

Liu Qianqian blinked, put on her gloves, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I almost couldn't get out. Da Tiantian bought two sets of toiletries and said she would give me one set."

"Oh, what did you say?"

Fang Ziheng stretched out his hand to straighten the hat on her head and asked with interest.

"I just said that I didn't bring a lot of things, so I had to go to the supermarket."

"Then they didn't say they would go with you?"

"Of course I will come out after they go to training."
