The beautiful country's movie was brought into reality and promoted "The Rescue", which suddenly became popular in the beautiful country.
Of course, this is because Dean Films took the opportunity to use that case to involve "Taken", which is why it has such a good effect.
This is really normal in Hollywood.
They can even consume dead people, not to mention that this time, the case itself is very controversial.
What's interesting is that in China, it was also affected. There was a real case in "Hurricane Rescue", which can be said to have made the domestic audience eat melons involuntarily.
Then go to the cinema to see it.
In this regard, Li Yi could only say that when luck comes, there is really no way to stop it.
"Taken" may be a good commercial action movie, but in fact, the routines of this kind of movie are really not novel.
Why are action movies not so popular these days?
In fact, the biggest problem in the final analysis is that the routines have been exhausted, and the audience has long been bored by movies of the same type.
For this reason, these days, there are still quite a lot of commercial action films, but it is difficult to see any A-level big productions anymore because the risks are too great.
Even if it is a sequel-type movie, it seems to be an action movie, but in fact, the selling point is not the fighting scenes in action movies at all, but other things.
For example, there are fierce racing battles, or adding various emotional elements that can stick to the fans, allowing the audience to form a unique perception and emotion towards the sequel movie, which promotes the filming of movie sequels one after another.
Of course, a sequel to "Hurricane Rescue" can also be developed, but in Li Yi's memory, the rescue series seems to be at its peak. Although many sequels have been made, it is difficult for people to have the same plot as the first one.
This feeling.
The biggest winner of this movie is Chen Wen. It’s not that he’s not famous enough. The point is that most of the time, he has nothing to do with action actors.
But now, it was really shaking.
The main reason is that the male protagonist he plays has sharp movements and is not sloppy at all, which can easily give people the illusion that he is good at fighting.
In the past, most of the movies Chen Wen starred in were dramas and mostly literary dramas. His acting skills are undoubtedly unquestionable, but in many cases, he and action movie actors actually don't have much in common.
Especially modern commercial action movies.
"Hahaha, buddy, aren't you awesome?" Chen Wen said sternly.
"You just got the credit for the script, okay? I can have sex with you!" Zhou Guo didn't give him any face.
"Yes! Actually, I would say that this role is more suitable for me to play!" Lin Yunbin also said a little sourly.
The three of them can be said to be the troika of the current Chinese-language film industry, but in fact, they are limited to the Chinese-language film industry. However, at this moment, Chen Wen can be said to have made a splash all over the world with "The Rescue".
And you have to know that the influence of commercial movies, especially the influence of successful action movies, is really not comparable to those of feature films, let alone worldwide.
Whether it's Zhou Guo or Lin Yunbin, it's not really about envy or hatred, it's just because everyone was originally on the same line, but now Chen Wen has overshadowed them in one fell swoop, and he looks like a real international superstar.
"You are just envious, jealous, hahaha!" Chen Wen said arrogantly.
It is true that some domestic films are popular in Hollywood, such as some of Li Yi's films, but in fact, I have to say that the development time of domestic films is indeed too short. Don't look at Hollywood, it is almost difficult to grow in the North American market.
It has entered a stable or weak period, but Hollywood movies still have the greatest influence in the world.
In fact, Dean Pictures hoped that the sequel to "Taken" would directly adopt the Hollywood model, but Li Yi refused.
"So, you don't plan to continue directing the sequel?" Chen Wen asked about the sequel to "Taken".
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Actually, if it were me personally, the story of this movie would be over, but there is indeed potential to be tapped, but I will definitely not continue to direct it."
Everyone else nodded. For a director of Li Yi's level, there is really no need to continue making sequels. The world view and plot of "Rescue" are there, but in fact it has great limitations.
Subsequent sequels will certainly be profitable, but if Li Yi continues to direct, it will not be of any help to him personally, and may even be counterproductive.
"You can continue to star. I have communicated with Dean Films." Li Yi said.
Chen Wen nodded.
In fact, despite the fact that the domestic film market seems to be almost on par with Hollywood, in fact, there are still only a few domestic actors who star in Hollywood blockbusters and play major roles.
Even for Chen Wen, this kind of opportunity is actually not many for him.
"Then do you have any new ideas?" Lin Yunbin asked.
Li Yi smiled and said: "There is indeed one, but to be honest, I am a little confused because I think it will be a bit sensitive when it is filmed."
Li Yi has never been the kind of director who likes to cross the line. Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't need to and has no need to do it.
"Sensitive?" Chen Wen and Zhou Guo's eyes lit up.
They are really not afraid of being sensitive. The key point is that a purely commercial movie like "Taken" will certainly not be that sensitive, but in fact, its depth is indeed limited.
At most it's just a successful popcorn movie.
If possible, they are actors who are more literary and drama-oriented, so they would naturally prefer to play more in-depth roles.
"Actually, I can do it too!" Chen Wen also said.
"That's too much!" Zhou Guo and Lin Yunbin both glared at Chen Wen.
"What kind of sensitive method?" Lin Yunbin asked again.
The three of them were all a little curious.
"How do you say it?" Li Yi organized his words. This movie was actually triggered during the filming of "Hurricane Rescue".
In my memory, this film can be said to be truly famous. Of course, the box office may not be as good as "Taken", but in terms of influence and popularity, it is not weak at all. And the key is, in the eyes of some movie fans, this film
The film is hailed as a classic.
But similarly, as Li Yi said, what is the greatest success of this movie?
It just happens to be the most sensitive part, although it is very obscure.
But it is indeed the case.
To be honest, Li Yi has watched the original version of the scene between Lolita and the uncle several times. It would be less sensitive if some of the trivial plot details were discarded. But if this is the case, can the taste of the original movie still be restored?
This is where Li Yi struggled.
Because from a plot point of view, the same thing is actually not novel, but the biggest key lies in this sensitive part.
"Let me tell you the plot briefly." Li Yi thought for a while and decided to speak out and let everyone give him some advice.
"Killer Leon is a killer. His usual job is to ruthlessly and unscrupulously complete the killing tasks assigned to him by his boss!
He has extremely simple emotions and a regular rhythm of life.
To a certain extent, how to describe it? Simple?
The girl Matilda is a troubled girl. She wears a green coat and a red hat and secretly smokes in the corridor all day long.
One day, her father, who was a police informant, was silenced by a bad policeman for hiding drugs, while Matilda escaped because she went downstairs to buy things. When she came back, Matilda saw that her entire family had been silenced, and she looked at it lightly.
After taking a quick look, she calmly walked to Lyon's door, but when she heard the screams of her family, the tears in the corners of her eyes proved that she was a girl after all. Lyon, who had been observing inside the door, discovered Matilda, opened the door and rescued her.
Matilda, just because of the opening of a door, Lyon's world has become wider and he has a new world." Li Yi said.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Wen suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Li Yi was a little confused.
"How old is this girl?" Chen Wen asked.
"13 years old!" Li Yi said.
Everyone was immediately stunned!
"A thirteen-year-old girl? The background of your story is not domestic, right?" Lin Yunbin asked!
Li Yi nodded.
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped involuntarily.
Because they all guessed what Li Yi meant by sensitivity.
"This is indeed a bit sensitive!" Zhou Guo also said.
"You go on!"
Li Yi continued: "From this point on, the helpless Matilda broke into Lyon's life and showed a maturity that was not what she should have at this age. She made breakfast for Lyon, ironed clothes, worked out together, and even taught Lyon
He was learning to write, but Leon taught this girl, whose whole family was killed by drug dealers, how to shoot and kill people. From this point on, the cold-blooded killer experienced a qualitative change in his psychology. He began to learn to smile and appeared to be intelligent.
Gentle and attentive.
Everything was so natural, they played around all day long, and their relationship became increasingly close. The two originally helpless hearts were getting closer to each other, warming each other, and redeeming each other. He became her supporter, but she
became his weakness.
Matilda, eager to avenge her family, came to the police station alone and wanted to kill her enemy, but was controlled by the enemy. Fortunately, Lyon single-handedly went to the police station, killed Smith's men, and rescued Matilda.
After the two came out, they immediately moved to a new residence. One day, Matilda went shopping. As soon as Matilda got out of the elevator, she was caught by Smith's men who had already ambushed them and threatened Lyon at the door. Lyon's superb
Technology killed a few bad policemen and rescued Xiao Lai. In order to let Matilda escape, Leon used an ax to smash open an escape passage, allowing Matilda to escape and wait for him outside.
Just after Matilda left, a bomb exploded in the room. Everyone thought Leon was dead, but Leon put on his uniform and walked out openly. When he walked to the door with blood on his face, he was discovered by Smith, but Leon opened the door.
He took off his coat, which was full of bombs, and died together with Smith, fulfilling Matilda's wish for revenge.
Leon died. In order to avenge the little girl, he pulled a grenade and was killed. He left all the money he earned as a killer to Matilda. Finally, Matilda went back to school.
To put it simply, at the beginning, the killer protected the little girl, and later the two became a two-way support and comfort, adding a touch of warmth to his monotonous life. And the ending of the movie. Because of the hatred that the girl really cannot forget,
It made him walk on a strange road. It seemed that this was a long-foreseen return date, or it might be the fate of a killer. Only death is the perfect ending. The girl planted his beloved green plants in the ground and let it bathe.
The sun, feeling the breeze, no longer lives in the basin."
Li Yi briefly explained the plot.
"What do you think?"
"How should I put it? It is indeed a bit sensitive, but it is relatively obscure, so there shouldn't be any big problem, right?" Chen Wen frowned and said.
"The plot is not particularly brilliant. It is the story of a lolita and an uncle. It is somewhat similar to "Taken". However, the difference is that "Taken" shows the relationship between a father and his daughter, while here you have two people.
He is a complete stranger and his age is indeed a bit sensitive." Lin Yunbin said.
"Do you think it would be better if I showed more love between father and daughter?" This is also a question Li Yi is thinking about.
"not good!"
"Don't!"
"Don't!"
The three of them spoke almost at the same time.
"The most brilliant thing about this story is actually this. The killer is lonely, even very simple. To a certain extent, he and the girl are even peers, two lonely souls hugging each other for warmth. This
This is the essence of this story. If it is changed, it will lose a lot of color!" Chen Wen said.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, the key point is that in the story you set, the girl's family are all drug dealers, so obviously the so-called Electra plot is difficult to explain. After all, she
There is a father, but what his father brings to her is not fatherly love but hurt!
And similarly, for the killer, he has never been a father, so naturally he will not have that feeling.
For this reason, if you want to change it to a family-oriented one, then you need to completely revise it, and the depth of the story will be much different!" Zhou Guo also said.
Li Yi nodded, this was also where he was struggling.
"What is your idea? I mean the original idea!" Lin Yunbin looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "His life is simple - simple, even like a craftsman in the old days. He goes out early and comes back late, running for a living, training again and again, completing tasks, because he has a dangerous profession.
You should sit up even when you sleep, and you should also exercise restraint when it comes to love and possible leisure life to remind yourself.
He is not so much a killer as he has become a kind of life itself - he represents the most extreme side of men - he is ruthless when dealing with powerful and brutal opponents, but he must maintain his integrity when dealing with docile women and delicate children.
Rules - don't hurt them, even compromise, and tenderness is even their Achilles' heel, and they will repay at the cost of their lives in the end.
The bottom line I set for him, or my own rules: "One line has one rule. Don't kill women, don't kill children."
Behind these rules and taboos is the love and family affection that he longs for but cannot desire.
After many years of paralysis, the unexpected intrusion of a little girl reminded him of these forgotten things, just like the stories of his childhood.
Human strength and coldness are roots that grow on the soil of pain and destruction, but they are destined to become plants that are carefully cared for in the hands of killers but cannot bloom or bear fruit. The appearance of Matilda has become the light of his life.
, has also become her own destruction, rebirth and redemption. Just like when he opened the door at the moment of panic after her family was bloodbathed, the light illuminated her face and his own life.
He was changed by her, and he became her love and new life. Everything in the painful life was completely overturned."
