"I Come from the Future" was blocked in the screening review process and failed to obtain the relaxation permission on time. The release may have to be postponed.
why?
There are too many violent scenes, which have a "bad impact" and it is best to modify them.
This is different from when Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was released, because that film actually gave detailed modification instructions that corresponded to the specific plot of the film one-to-one. As long as you have watched it
After reviewing the manuscript, you may even feel that what the review committee said makes some sense.
There were too many unnecessary violent scenes and they were too bloody. “The plot of Huang Bo being beaten to death by a hammer, including the action and the camera, was a bit excessive.” It was recommended to find alternative materials to express the effect. The lead actor Huang Bo later said, “We should consider
How younger audiences feel.”
Another leading actor, Xu Zheng, was ordered to lose weight. Many people did not recognize him at the beginning of the movie. He said, "If this movie can be released as scheduled, the audience will not just have the impression of me as a comedian." Imagine that he was originally
The character in the script needs to be so different from his own image to say something like this.
As the current No. 1 commercial director, Fang Yi has a bright future, so of course he is not ignorant. He can vaguely understand the reasons for deleting violent scenes:
He is so awesome. In the past four years, Fang Yi has repeatedly won the box office market, winning the first prize almost every year. "I Come from the Future" is the main theme film that is being promoted and it is the only heavyweight blockbuster in the National Day schedule. It is very likely to win again.
It reached a new high, triggering a nationwide movie-watching frenzy.
This means that a large number of viewers will bring their children to receive patriotic education, and then see different characters being interrupted by machine guns, burned alive, and falling like grass, letting out painful screams.
This will cause psychological harm to so many young children (screams)!
Have you read "How the Steel Was Tempered"? Have you read "Childhood"? Do you know how many plots of the original works have been deleted from these masterpieces recommended by middle school students?
However, Fang Yi didn't want to delete it, because a war movie without those scenes would be too light-hearted, and you can't stop eating because of choking - at worst, make a reminder to watch the movie before the release, either don't bring your children, or parents can use it as a smart mosaic.
Violent footage was taken and the child's eyes were covered.
Currently, there are two reviews for a movie. One is when the script is written, and it must be submitted for approval before it can be started. The other is after the film is shot, and only after it is approved can it obtain the right to be screened with the Dragon Label.
In the beginning, there was only the first pass, and it was OK to shoot casually. The direct trigger was Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming", which "distorted the original intention" of the script, and a second safety lock was added accordingly.
The second safety lock also has its own reasons. Have you seen a large number of fantasy films shot in mainland China in the 1980s to earn box office?
Gouging out the heart, cutting out the eyes, cutting the flesh, and filling with feces, don't think that the 1980s were conservative... They were all released in a grand manner. That kind of rough era will no longer exist, and the standards must be tightened.
Movies used to be an expensive consumer product, so they essentially served the elite class. Even if they made mistakes, they would not have large-scale consequences, and they were allowed for a small number of people to entertain themselves; but now movies are a relatively common consumer product.
, serve the public, and the whole thing can be quickly known to the whole people.
So it needs to be regulated, it needs to find a larger common denominator, sink and sink again, and the final result is of course tightening - not just movies, this logic can be extended to most cultural products you see.
Hong Kong director Johnnie To went north to the mainland in 2009 and wanted to make a film that reflected the mainland police's anti-drug campaign. After the script was written, he named it "Drug War." The original story was quite dark and sad. Johnnie To liked it, but knew it wouldn't be released.
At the end of the play, there is a scene of a death row prisoner being injected to death. For more than three minutes, the actor Goo Jai's performance was extremely lifelike, as a living person's voice weakened, his breathing failed, and he lost all vital signs.
Full close-up, no masking.
It was indeed beyond the standards. High artistic quality did not mean it was suitable for theater broadcast, so the script was sent back.
Director Johnnie To is a bit naughty. Since his career, his filming style has always had strong personal characteristics, namely "black, violent, dynamic, fateful, cold and romantic galactic image style", which gives the audience a strong explosive power of male hormones. The "Underworld" series
, "Gunfire", "The Killer"... are all his works.
Therefore, he was unwilling to compromise too much. He felt that he might not be able to "find a balance between business and art" and once wanted to abandon the project.
What made things turn around was that the drama team found cooperation with mainland departments and filmed two different versions of the ending. In the end, a compromise was reached in a tortuous way. "Drug War" is a very classic film, and it may also be the best anti-drug film currently.
In this film, all parties gave their best performances within the limits that can be tolerated.
Fang Yi has much better conditions than Du Qifeng. He has more channels to express his opinions, and these channels are willing to support him.
From the beginning of the filming of "I Come from the Future", many heavy equipment manufacturing companies were deeply involved. Many military history experts were also invited at that time. There were cooperation with institutions from the capital to the northeast. He said hello, and things turned into something like this
It was the same scene where Zhou Botong was fighting each other, but the difference was that one hand was much stronger. As a result, the original revision proposal itself was sent back for revision, and finally the decision was made to withdraw it.
"I Come from the Future" can be released as scheduled, but it has to add "Children please watch the movie with the company of their parents" on the movie poster. This is a gentle punishment.
But it’s worth noting that you can’t do this every time.
A more reasonable method must be found, that is, for such large-investment movies, there should be partners with stable backgrounds to avoid trouble when getting the Dragon Award.
What they do may also pave the way for similar films in the future. This is what Fang Yi should do in his current position. After all, he is not a pure money-making businessman.
Fang Yi returned to the "Wandering Earth" film and television base, told Guo Fan his thoughts, and informed that a small meeting would be held in the Republic Era.
"You mean we need to take precautions to prevent this special effects film from encountering the same situation?" Guo Fan said in surprise.
