The main character lives, and the other side characters die, and the dead ones will be firmly remembered by the audience!

This is a relatively common narrative technique that is often used in novels and movies. For example, "Saving Private Ryan" is such a movie, but its main character, Ryan's role

Quite few.

The techniques are similar, but the results are definitely completely different.

The script has been finalized, but Feng Xiaogang still has some complaints. Quite simply, Wu Xiang's script did not explore enough human nature, that is, the soldiers are not afraid of death.

Faced with this question, Wu Xiang gave his own answer.

Everyone is afraid of death, but when death becomes a sacrifice, for the country, for the people, and for one's comrades, then this death is not terrible, this sacrifice is a kind of glory!

Director Feng Xiaogang said, I have seen too much of what you are talking about, but it is no longer popular. It was the method of previous movies, the same old things. Today’s movies, and today’s young people, what they want is

An exploration of human nature and a deeper discussion!

Wu Xiang expressed his understanding, but he was still not prepared to change.

Feng Xiaogang had no choice but to say, your movie will be criticized, and it will definitely not do well at the box office!

In fact, what Feng Xiaogang doesn't understand the most is that Wu Xiang, a kid, obviously didn't live in that era, but why is this guy more fanatical about things of that era than Feng Xiaogang?

Wu Xiang did not make any more excuses. He just insisted on his own ideas and his script story.

There are some things that cannot be said, because in the not-too-distant future, there will be those individuals with specific goals who will question this war, its correctness, whether it is victorious, and whether there is anything ulterior motives behind it.

thing.

Your movie explores human nature. On the one hand, it is not in line with the historical facts at that time. How educated were the volunteer soldiers at that time? It would be good if they were not illiterate. Even after graduating from elementary school, they could pretend to be intellectuals.

Will a soldier discuss human nature on the battlefield? Reflect on war?

Isn’t that pure fucking bullshit?

On the other hand, people are afraid of death, but when they reach a certain level, they no longer need to be afraid of death. In some cases, death is not scary at all. When pressed, a rabbit will start kicking an eagle!

Besides, how can you know the joy of fish if you are not a fish? How do you know that people must be afraid of death?

Those who pretend to be experts on the Internet and use various human rights and freedoms to comment on this war have not considered that this war is about a group of people who have just got rid of ignorance and oppression, and they are all unable to eat.

, those who could not survive finally had hope of living a good life, but they had to face another foreign invasion that was about to happen. This was their roar that shocked all mankind!

If you use your current brain to discuss human nature at that time, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?!

Therefore, although it is a movie, although it is artistically processed, it must truly present those people and those things back then...

The script has been decided, the actors have been decided, the props, costumes, and all aspects are basically the same. There are also the extras who will participate in the performance. Needless to say, they must be looking for troops, and this time the war

Although the movie is a blockbuster with big scenes, it really doesn’t require too many people.

The reason is very simple. Wu Xiang's movie itself is planned to be based on a company. The largest combat unit is the regiment. The leader is Fan Tianen played by Sun Honglei. There are not many people in the first place. To say that there are many, that is

U.S. military.

But there is an advantage here, that is, North Korea is very mountainous, and the roads are not very straight. Most of them are winding and winding. Although the photo was not taken in North Korea, the terrain must be similar. In this way, it is not easy to

It requires too many US troops, and they can be blocked because of the viewing angle.

Therefore, Wu Xiang's plan is to have two troupes, one to play the role of the volunteer army, and the other to play the role of the US military and the Korean puppet army.

However, there is a small problem here, that is, the US military is also a foreigner after all, and it is all performed by our soldiers. Is there something wrong with this?

You have to find some crooked nuts. This is a must, but how to find them?

To say that the Japanese are better, there are quite a few in Wu Xiang's alma mater. This was how "Bright Sword" was filmed before, and after they finished filming, they basically did not return to the island country. They stayed in our mainland, and the various crews

Ah, just play the little devil.

But it's really hard to find those with blond hair and blue eyes. There are some foreign students in the film school, but there are fewer of them, and there are more Asian ones. There are only three or two blonds and blue eyes, and I really can't get enough of them.

What should I do? Go directly to a place that teaches foreign languages ​​and recruit people? Do they know how to act?

Wu Xiang knows that there are really all kinds of foreign language teachers in our country, and there are even fugitives. Anyway, teaching foreign languages ​​does not require any advanced knowledge. In fact, foreign teachers are in many places.

In the school, that was the vase during the admissions process... Yes, yes, in fact, Wu Xiang just had no connection in this area, and he really didn't know the details of those foreigners.

Just when Wu Xiang was having a headache about this matter, Li Yuncong from far away in Europe sent a message. There was a company with a big director who wanted to meet Wu Xiang. He was very urgent. As Li Yuncong described it, this guy seemed like

Just like Wu Xiang’s crazy fans.

Great director? Who?

Sam Mendes is the director of "American Beauty". The first film he directed in Hollywood won the Oscar for Best Director. Isn't this a great director?

And this company is actually Sam Mendes' own company, called Neil Street Films.

As soon as Wu Xiang heard his name, he immediately felt his fame. However, Wu Xiang still knew this person. He was very talented. He was not an American, but an Englishman. However, the United States and the United Kingdom are now divided.

Not open, they seem like a pair of good friends.

Gay friends are gay friends, but it’s obvious who gets the credit and who gets the blame. Besides, in the past, America was the son and Britain was the father. Thinking about it, this is really... the British cow is full of tears.

Let’s forget about these things for now. Wu Xiang was already worried about foreign actors, but now a foreigner comes to his door. Can he still turn them away?

I met Sam Mendes at Bada Ridge, because this great director’s trip was like traveling. That’s right. It was his first time in China. If he didn’t see the scenic spots, wouldn’t he be very sorry for himself?

Under the recommendation of Li Yuncong, Wu Xiang put on a down jacket and went to meet the great director. When he first saw this Anglo-Saxon, he felt that this guy was a bit handsome. He was indeed good-looking. This director had also acted in the past.

He is better than Wu Xiang in this aspect.

"Hello Sam. I'm Wu Xiang." Wu Xiang greeted him in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"Oh, hello, MR Wu, I'm so happy to meet you." Sam Mendes was very enthusiastic. He came over very proactively and gave Wu Xiang a big hug, which caught Wu Xiang off guard.

"Are all foreigners so open-minded?" Wu Xiang was really uncomfortable with it, but he was even more uncomfortable with it later.

"Wu! I miss you so much! (I-MISS-YOU-SO-MUCH!)"

"I...I don't know you, right? Is this the first time we've met?" Wu Xiang was breaking out in a cold sweat. Why do you think of yourself so much?

"No, it's indeed the first time we've met, but I think we should have been in a relationship mentally. As you would say, it's called spiritual friendship...still the same!"

Even if you don't speak this half-literate Mandarin, Wu Xiang really understands it.

"You, this, me, that..." Wu Xiang didn't understand, why have they been friends with each other for a long time?

Seeing Wu Xiang's performance, Sam Mendes now felt that although he didn't understand, he felt powerful. So, he told how he became friends with Wu Xiang.

It turns out that when Wu Xiang was a guest at the Oscars last time, he said a few words in the subsequent interview: You American emperors, this is a war of aggression!

With just these few words, as soon as Sam Mendes heard it, he introduced Wu Xiang as his lifelong confidant.

"Wu, you are really amazing. You dare to make such comments in that kind of place. It's so exciting. You are so amazing. What's even more amazing is that you are okay! Hahaha.

…”

Wu Xiang was speechless for a while. Why did I add the word "Jian Ran" when I'm fine?

In fact, Wu Xiang also understood that Mendes should be referring to the ubiquitous CIA or FBI. To be honest, the trend is a bit scary when you think about it. In the future, after Brother Prism was exposed, he ran away, but his good

My gay friend didn’t run away, he was killed in a traffic accident...

Wu Xiang didn't speak, but was slightly sweating. But Mendes didn't care so much, he kept talking.

"Wu, you are the strongest anti-war director I have ever seen. You dare to say things that others dare not say. You are the best. And now I want to make an anti-war movie, and I need your help!"

Anti-war movie?

After hearing this, Wu Xiang became interested, "Okay, don't worry, let's talk as we walk, this is the Great Wall, you can't help but take a look, right?"

"good!"

Next, Sam Mendes revealed the reason for his visit. It turned out that Sam Mendes was planning to make a movie. He wanted to use this movie to reflect on the ongoing war in Iraq. This is why he expressed his gratitude to Wu

Xiang's remarks expressed his sincere admiration. Really, at this time, the entire public opinion in the United States is very secretive about the justice of this war. Everyone's reports are relatively obscure. Really.

It's like the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Wu Xiang's words really hit home, making the American emperor somewhat embarrassed.

The name of the movie Mendes is going to make is called "Jarhead"!

This film was originally a reflection on the Gulf War. Mendes wanted to make some adaptations, but the investors were not satisfied, so Sam came to Wu Xiang...

PS: Originally, Hei Che updated a chapter in the middle of the night, but that chapter was reviewed because of the place name. Hei Che spent the whole night struggling with this matter. Later, he really worked on it, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

I've been listening for a while, so let's just update another chapter for everyone. I'm done. Hei Che is going to bed. Hehe, I just want to say sorry. I'm afraid there are book friends waiting for the chapter in the middle of the night. I'm really sorry, Hei Che.
Chapter completed!
