It is said that if you want to shoot "Slumdog Millionaire", you must perfectly design the questions in the quiz game in this movie.
Helpless, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to rack his brains and recall this part of the play in his previous life.
In the movie, there are ten problems between going from nothing to 20 million. The problems that the male protagonist Gemma will face in the TV show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" are:
1. Who stars in the 1973 action movie "Captive"?
2. There are three lions in the national emblem of India. What words are written under the lions?
3. What is the god Rama described in the teachings holding in his right hand?
4. Which famous Indian poet wrote the lyrics for the song "darshandoghanshyam"?
5. Which American president’s portrait is on the $100 bill?
6. Who understood the revolver?
Next there are the seventh question, the eighth question, the ninth question, and the tenth question...
In the end, Gemma, the male protagonist of this drama, incredibly got all the answers correct. And the theme revealed is: fate! Should you resist?!
In Indian culture, this kind of destiny is extremely powerful. People are very small and meaningless in front of destiny. Everyone has his own world and his own role. All people need to do in front of destiny is to obey God's will instead of
Do your best. If you want to resist, there is only one result, which is to be tortured and played with by fate even more unbearably! But at the same time, you will get more and more, which are all things that fate originally gave you stingily!
…
Looking back, without these well-designed problems, the film would have been mediocre. Another one: "A kind-hearted poor boy born in a slum. With perseverance and surprisingly good luck,
He defeated evil and poverty, finally returned with a beautiful woman, and also won fame and fortune - a cliché story that he did not intend to pursue. But it is precisely these questions that are full of the author's thinking about the social situation in India, and
Deep concern for one's motherland applies to every country and people in troubled times, doesn't it?
…
In order to design these questions, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but read through Indian history, religion, culture and other books and magazines, so as not to design questions that were flawed or inconsistent. But fortunately, at least Yi Feiyang was very impressed by the drama in his previous life, and there were many questions
All easily solved.
Yi Feiyang's hard work and hard work made him exhausted and thin.
In the eyes of others, Yi Feiyang has been living in confusion and hardship these days. It seems that he was driven to a dead end by the media, or Spielberg.
Thin body and unshaven beard.
The originally extremely handsome Yi Feiyang looked like this.
In order to better take care of Yi Feiyang's life, Anne Hathaway moved in with her good sister Jessica Alba. To be precise, they moved into Yi Feiyang's private villa. According to Hathaway's wishes, Yi Feiyang
If you don't like hiring servants, then let her and Jessica take care of Yi Feiyang respectively.
Yi Feiyang had nothing to do about this. Anyway, he had disclosed his relationship with Hathaway outside. As for Jessica, being dragged onto the pirate ship by Hathaway was purely a cocoon.
So in the following days, Yi Feiyang happily started living together with two women and one man.
Not to mention, having two girls around me makes life really convenient. At least when I’m hungry, I don’t have to eat instant noodles, go to a restaurant, or even call someone to deliver food.
Both Hathaway and Jessica have very good cooking skills, and like their personalities, Hathaway is good at cooking light dishes, while Jessica is fond of heavy food. This girl can even cook Sichuan dishes, which makes me wonder.
Yi Feiyang looked at her with admiration, and then exclaimed, a hot girl is a hot girl after all!
At 2 o'clock in the morning that night, Jessica, who was wearing a T-shirt, got up to go to the bathroom and saw the light in the living room was on. When she walked over and took a look, she found Yi Feiyang sitting alone on the sofa, holding her cheek with her hands, frowning and thinking.
What.
"Hey, Yi, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Jessica came over and looked at him curiously.
"Well..." When Yi Feiyang heard her voice, he immediately turned around and exclaimed, "It turns out it's you... I was just thinking about something."
"What happened? Because you almost caused Columbia to go bankrupt?" Jessica squinted her eyes like a little wild cat and came over to sit next to him.
Yi Feiyang shook his head and turned to look at her: "I'm not worried about that. They brought it upon themselves!"
"Oh, are you worried about how to face Spielberg's challenge?" Jessica guessed wildly.
"This is more or less the same, but to be precise, I'm just thinking about how to promote my next movie."
"Your next movie? Could it be that...you already have a plan?" Jessica looked at him curiously.
Since Yi Feiyang flew back from New Zealand, he hasn't expressed much, and he doesn't know what he wants to shoot. However, the company is running faster and faster, and more and more movies are being prepared to shoot. The series of movies alone includes "Saw".
5", "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". As well as the ongoing "Lord of the Rings 2" and "Iron Man 2". In addition, there is also the animated blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda" being created by Jack Black, which is being prepared by director Li Yin
"Brokeback Mountain", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" prepared by director Tim Burton, "Death Racer" prepared by Cindy, and the blockbuster "Harry Potter vs. Female Spider-Man" planned to be shot by Rabbit Bill
etc.
It can be said that with the rapid development of Fantasy Entertainment, almost all the directors and actors of the company have filmed movies, and almost all of them are blockbusters. Fundamentally speaking, Fantasy Entertainment has truly transformed from small-cost production to blockbusters.
factory.
However, with the strong rise of Fantasy Entertainment, the seven major Hollywood film companies, no, to be precise, the six major film companies except Columbia, have regarded Fantasy Entertainment as the strongest competitor. As the spiritual leader of Fantasy Entertainment,
Like Hollywood legends, every move of Yi Feiyang represents a very special meaning.
For example, this time, the outside world put him and Spielberg on the stage during the Christmas period, just to see a thrilling director battle. To see if Yi Feiyang has the ability to continue after defeating the great director Sam Raimi.
Use his power to defeat the legendary art director Spielberg. If he can defeat him again, then he can challenge the last king, James Cameron, for the throne of the King of Movies.
In today's Hollywood film industry, there has been an unprecedented PK escalation war between directors. The four directors at the top of the pyramid, Peter Jackson, Sam Raimi, Spielberg and Cameron, these four kings have been
The newly rising Yi Feiyang defeated the two, leaving only Spielberg and Cameron.
As the upgrade war continues to heat up, it becomes even more exciting. To be honest, what many Hollywood fans want to see now is not the movies shot by Yi Feiyang and others, but how Yi Feiyang steps into the movie step by step in reality.
The throne of the king. Since the existence of Hollywood, no one has been able to attract everyone's attention like Yi Feiyang for a long time. The movie tycoon Howard Hughes, who was most likely to become the king, ultimately failed because of his own emotional problems.
As an outsider and as a Chinese, can Yi Feiyang succeed?!
"Well, I plan to make a movie with a realistic theme." Yi Feiyang said calmly. Now it's time for him to show off his trump card. Really good movies are not blockbusters with gorgeous packaging, nor are they big movies that bring together stars.
cast, but the stories around you and me that can penetrate deeply into people's hearts.
As a director, you can try many themes, including action movies, romance movies, science fiction movies, as well as the most popular comedy movies, and horror movies... However, in comparison, the most difficult to shoot and master is that
A drama that defies classification!
Yes, drama films are difficult to classify, because they may contain romance elements, suspense elements, horror elements, and even science fiction and action elements, but such films themselves cannot be classified as these because they include
Too many elements.
What Yi Feiyang has to do now is to break through himself again and create a new artistic life.
You know, from the beginning, almost all of the movies that Yi Feiyang shot were focused on "business", which is something that Yi Feiyang did not shy away from. For example, the horror film "Chain Saw" he shot in the early stage, the adult film "Rescue"
"Rachel the Female Soldier", as well as the later war film "300" and the high-tech "Iron Man", etc., are all closer to money in order to obtain the maximum benefit in return. The only thing that made him deviate
The only film that brought business closer to art was "The Pursuit of Happiness."
Now, if Yi Feiyang wants to break through himself and defeat the legendary "Award-winning King" Spielberg, he must make dangerous moves and take the wrong side, especially when facing Spielberg's best science fiction.
The movie "Artificial Intelligence", you know, when Yi Feiyang watched this movie in his previous life, he almost cried. This shows how powerful this movie is. To defeat it, you must make a different movie.
A good work that can arouse strong resonance among people cannot be missed.
"You want to make a realistic movie?" Jessica opened her mouth slightly and looked at Yi Feiyang in disbelief and said, "God, did I hear wrongly? This is really not your style."
"What is my style?" Yi Feiyang turned to look at her curiously and asked.
"Don't you know? Insidious, cruel, cunning, cold, pretending to be cool, pretending to be innocent..." Jessica kept scolding, making Yi Feiyang unable to listen anymore, and waved her hands repeatedly with embarrassment on her face,
He interrupted her and said:
"That's enough~ That's enough, hey, beauty, am I as unbearable as you describe...?"
"Absolutely." Jessica nodded matter-of-factly.
Yi Feiyang touched his nose and thought to himself, Jessica probably knew all the conspiracy and tricks she had done behind the scenes. Who made her and Hathaway good sisters? Speaking of it, she was indeed not very decent, so she could only
He sighed and said:
"What should I do? It seems that I have to restore my image. This time I have changed my goal. I no longer look at money all the time, but I want to look at awards! Look at Cannes, Oscars, and Golden Globes! So!
Say, no matter what, I have to pretend to be upright and kind..."
Yi Feiyang has always been known as the tyrant on the set, and it is rare that he is so witty and humorous at this moment. Jessica couldn't help but smile and said: "Forget it, in fact, you are fine if you don't pretend to be kind. If you pretend to be kind, you will become more evil..."
He gave Yi Feiyang a fierce look and said, "People say you are the son of God, but I think you are the son of the devil!"
"Yeah. Why do you have such a bad impression of me? It wasn't like this before. In the past, you insisted on saying that you loved me. You couldn't live without me!"
"Go to hell, no one ever said such disgusting words!"
"Oh, I have such a bad memory at such a young age. How can I become demented when I get older?"
"You're just crazy! You can't talk nonsense. I'm sleepy and need to go to bed!" Jessica rolled her eyes at Yi Feiyang again.
"Do you think a despicable person like me, who is insidious, cruel, cunning, cold-hearted, loves to pretend to be cool, and often pretends to be innocent, would believe that you are going to bed? Haha, have you told me exactly what is on your mind?
Want to escape before the battle? But run away quickly, be careful of me, a big tiger, or the big bad wolf will reveal his true colors later, and what will he do to you... Anyway, Hathaway is not at home today!"
Seeing Yi Feiyang's funny and intimidating appearance, Jessica suddenly raised her breasts and said, "I'm afraid of you. Come here if you can!" After saying that, she hooked her finger at Yi Feiyang with a charming look.
A provocative look.
Yi Feiyang was speechless.
Tough, so tough!
It took him a long time to come around, look at the extremely tempting Jessica and say: "Haha, I was just testing you... don't take it seriously, go to bed early, sleeping late is not good for your skin, do a facial mask before going to bed
Moisturizing and moisturizing the skin... By the way, make curry chicken rice for me tomorrow. I want to shoot an Indian film, so I will start with Indian food..."
Faced with Yi Feiyang's nonsense, Jessica couldn't help but smile. What does it mean to have a lustful heart but not to be bold? This is it! But curry chicken rice, Indian movie? Is the legend true? He really wants to start filming that "Slums"
"Millionaire"?!
"Also, the set we chose is a famous slum in India. When the time comes, I will donate some money to it, not much, just 1 million US dollars. Well, at least it can build a few orphanages... I heard that there
There are many orphans...most of them have no food and rely on begging and picking up garbage..."
Jessica stared blankly at Yi Feiyang's careless appearance, but she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Although this guy usually acted very insidiously, and could even say that he would do anything to achieve his goals, but deep down in his heart,
There is a kind of innocence and kindness like a child... Such a man is really inexplicably heart-warming!
This is my man! Jessica suddenly said to herself, feeling proud and angry at the same time. She was angry that Yi Feiyang was indifferent to her temptation. Could it be that I am not beautiful enough?
…
For his upcoming new drama "Slumdog Millionaire", Yi Feiyang did not do much to promote it. Because he knew that his status no longer required him to brag about himself.
There is no need to hold a press conference such as "fly to India to film a new movie", all that is needed is to remain mysterious and low-key.
There is no way, for a master director like him, to this extent, the more low-key and mysterious he is, the more attention he can attract from the media, making them come uninvited and stare at you like bees smelling honey.
Don't let go.
Sure enough, as soon as the rumor spread that Yi Feiyang was going to fly to India to film, it immediately caused a stir in the entire American circle.
"Magic Yang is going to make an Indian movie, is he going to use Indian songs and dances to compete with Spielberg's artificial intelligence?!"
""Slumdog Millionaire" is a mysterious movie with a mysterious plot!"
"The latest war is about to break out. China's Yi Fei goes to India to worship the Elephant God!"
…
Under the attention of these media public opinions, Yi Feiyang tasted curry chicken rice and flew to the mysterious Eastern country with his work team, assistant Jessica, assistant director Fat Jack, photographer Cindy, and other staff members.
---India!
…
India, an ancient civilization, is a land full of mysteries. Located in southern Asia, India is the largest country in the South Asian subcontinent and one of the oldest ancient civilizations. It has brilliant diversity and rich cultural heritage and tourism resources.
When Yi Feiyang set foot on this land, he was more or less excited. After almost a week of preparation, Yi Feiyang led the crew to come to this land of gods and elephants. Before coming, Yi Feiyang had already made preparations
A lot of preparations, such as the customs and etiquette here, living habits, taboos, etc., were taught to the crew members to avoid unnecessary troubles and conflicts.
You know, in the mysterious country of India, elephants, peacocks, etc. are sacred objects. Last year, a Hollywood director came here to shoot a scene. He was expelled by the local residents because he blasphemed the peacock god here.
If the police had not come to the rescue in time, something even more terrible might have happened.
Therefore, for many foreigners, India is a mysterious and unreasonable place. The reason why it is unreasonable is that there are too many taboos. Basically, your words and deeds are likely to step on landmines and offend people's religious beliefs and national sentiments here.
.
The hotel where Yifeiyang and his group stayed was the largest Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, India.
According to Yi Feiyang's previous work style, he would definitely start work immediately, contacting people from the Film Association of India, then recruiting actors, choosing shooting locations, announcing the start date, etc. After a series of work, everyone was so busy.
But unfortunately, the work efficiency or living habits of Indians are in huge contrast to those of Yi Feiyang. People here do things slowly, as if they live slowly all day long, no matter how anxious or impatient you are.
, they are still slow to act, slowly stamping your filming procedures, stamping them again, slowly introducing you to different attractions, introducing them again, slowly recommending actors to you, and recommending them again... Wait until Yi Feiyang
When I realized that all Indians are Tai Chi masters, I had been here for three days.
In Yi Feiyang’s words, Indians are very cheating! (To be continued...)
