Chapter 438 The godfather-level screenwriter

On the way home, it was already late, the distant and untouchable horizon was like the sunset, and the few rays of sunset were like broken and cracked rouge, making people feel heavy and dizzy.

Zhou Shaoming drove the car without saying much. His mind was filled with that sad figure. He was not understood by the world. Even if he tried his best, he could not change all the pain.

But Rick, regardless of his own safety, used his humble strength time and time again to tell the world that it does not only belong to superior humans.

"Those Japanese are so annoying. I used to think they were educated and qualified people, but I didn't expect them to be so low-level." Christina hugged Maria, who was tired from playing and had fallen asleep, still angrily.

Said.

"They have always been like that, living in this world wearing a mask of hypocrisy. Whenever well-meaning people help them and make them strong, they will tear off those hypocrisies and nod and bow in respect when they see people, exposing their true feelings.

The true face of wolf ambition." Zhou Shaoming gritted his teeth.

Like all Chinese, Zhou Shaoming is not interested in the Japanese, not to mention the disgusting guys he met today.

"I originally thought that you arranged for several despicable Japanese in Resident Evil to be unintentional, but now it seems that you did the right thing!" Christina's eyes flashed and she giggled.

"It seems that I haven't done enough. I have to reveal the true face of the Japanese to the world!" Zhou Shaoming suddenly became more impulsive.

Perhaps other Chinese people cannot let the world know the horror and hypocrisy of Japan, but they themselves have the most touching weapon in the world!

Movie!

Never one to boast in words, Zhou Shaoming prefers to give the enemy the most fatal blow through action!

After returning to Christina's farm and putting her to sleep, Zhou Shaoming put on his pajamas and sat under the moonlight. Looking at the charming pastoral scenery, he summoned the director system.

"Wow, the scenery here is really nice, Master Host." Little Luo Li's voice appeared.

"Well, it's very good, but I didn't ask you to come out to see the night view." Zhou Shaoming lit a cigar and took a slow walk on the farm in the moonlight, trying to make his thinking sharper and more perfect.

"Haha, do you want to make a movie again? Tell me. Which one do you want to make?"

"I remember that in the original time and space, there was a movie called Dolphin Cove. I only vaguely remember that it was about the slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in Taiji Town, Japan. Please pull up that movie and show it to me." Zhou Shaoming decided.

After calming down, he sat on the lush grass with his back against a tall oak tree and said lightly.

"Okay, Master Host."

Not long after, the entire information and images of "The Cove" began to appear in my mind.

In Wakayama Prefecture in the southernmost part of Honshu Island, Japan, there is a small village called "Taiji Town", facing the Pacific Ocean. It has towering cliffs on three sides. The 5.96 square kilometer town is home to about 3,600 residents, about 1/3 of whom are engaged in

Fishing. On the surface, the town flaunts its love for cetaceans (dolphins are whales): a model of a smiling whale stands in the center of the town. The ferry is decorated in the shape of a dolphin, and there are anthropomorphic dolphin images printed on stone slabs on the ground.

There is also a temple dedicated to the whale spirit... This place is packaged like a theme park. However, there is a murderous intention behind it.

In the Edo period of the early 17th century, fishermen in Taiji Town invented the spear whaling method, and Taiji Town, the "whale town", became the birthplace of Japan's traditional whaling method. In modern society, whaling has become an important activity for local residents.

Source of income. In 1986, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) issued a ban on commercial whaling, but a year later, "limited whaling for research purposes" still existed, and Japan's dolphins and small whales were killed

The number has tripled. Every year, an average of 23,000 dolphins are "legally" killed by Japan. In the small town of Taiji alone, more than 1,500 dolphins have to be "processed."

Currently, there are nearly 80 aquariums in Japan, and nearly half of them keep cetaceans. Captured dolphins usually die within two years. The dolphins that are not selected become the citizens' meal. 5,000 tons

Dolphin meat appears on the Japanese market, but most ordinary citizens will never think that they have eaten dolphin meat because the packaging says whale meat.

The footage captured completely shocked the photography team. After the massacre began, the blue-green water instantly turned into a striking red. Seeing their children and parents being slaughtered with their own eyes, these dolphins, whose intelligence is second only to humans in the world, screamed,

Struggling, then life disappeared, from existence to nothing, leaving only the fishermen smoking cigarettes, laughing and talking in the bloody water, while the bodies of dolphins floated up and down in the water, filling the boat.

Pictures pass by one by one. "The Cove" is a documentary that is not for commercial purposes, but it has a strong emotion and a tragic and tragic feeling that cannot be expressed.

Perhaps sensing the throbbing in Zhou Shaoming's heart, the director's system also gave a message:

In the later world, scientists generally believe that dolphins are the most intelligent animals in the world after humans, so we need to consider treating them like the same kind. Treating them as playground toys is cruel,

"Neuroanatomical studies have shown that humans and dolphins are telepathic, and that there is some incomprehensible connection between the two species," said zoologist Lori Marino of Emory University in Atlanta.

For a long time, we have thought that chimpanzees, who have the IQ of a three-year-old child, are smarter than dolphins. However, the latest research shows that dolphins (especially bottlenose dolphins) are actually the most intelligent species besides humans. They have their own personalities and strong egos

Consciousness and even make plans for the future.

Therefore, most of the dolphins in the aquarium die within two years because they cannot accept such a fate but cannot escape it, so they choose to commit suicide.

In addition, dolphins are animals with their own "culture", and a certain "fashionable" behavior of one dolphin will be imitated by other species of the same species.

One study shows that bottlenose dolphins can recognize themselves in mirrors and even use them to examine various parts of their bodies.

Some dolphins can also learn a simple iconic language.

Currently, scientists are taking measures to let people re-understand dolphins. They propose that dolphins should be treated as "quasi-humans" and not treated like ordinary animals.

However, the Japanese are killing them!

Rick's sad eyes, the hateful faces of the Japanese, and the dolphins screaming in the bloody water, unable to escape from the clutches of death, made Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but clenched his fists fiercely.

Documentaries are definitely not good at the box office, but in order to save those poor dolphins from harm earlier, in order to let more people in the world know about the insidious souls behind the Japanese masks earlier, Zhou Shaoming felt that he must do it

Order something!

Destiny. Let yourself see this movie.

"I want to make this movie. Even if I can't make a penny, even if I lose all my investment, I have to do it. I have no choice!" Zhou Shaoming said softly, and his heart, which had always been hanging, suddenly felt at ease.

After landing, the feeling of being relieved of a burden made me more determined.

My choice, yes!

"Okay. Master host, please select the difficulty."

"Difficulty?" Zhou Shaoming smiled, I'm not even afraid of losing money, so why should I be afraid of difficulty?

"Let's get started!"

Lights and shadows flickered in front of my eyes. They were like flames rising into the sky.

"Selected Difficulty: Change!"

Zhou Shaoming was a little surprised, change? What is that?

"The host wants to change "The Cove" from a documentary to another type of film, and requires that the film can change more than 5% of Americans' views on dolphins and Japan. It will be released within this year!"

Change documentaries into other types of films?

It seems like this is a bit difficult!

Zhou Shaoming hurriedly wanted to ask more questions, but there was no sound from the director system.

It seems that everything has to be handled by yourself!

The moonlight passed through the dense oak branches and leaves, falling messily and colorfully on the ground. In the air filled with wild flowers and green grass, small and fluttering fireflies floated faintly. In the silence, Zhou Shaoming felt the restlessness in his heart.

In addition to creativity, it can be said that the entire film requires one to think, understand, and construct the language of the shot.

Okay, change, here I come!

Back in the room, Zhou Shaoming was still thinking hard, thinking about what type of movie "The Cove" could become.

Horror, science fiction, police and criminals, war, suspense, magic, disaster, drama and romance.

These are the most common types. If you change from documentary to other types, just choose from them.

It's impossible to make a horror movie. What I want to make is a touching story to change the world's view of dolphins. How can I use horror to influence people?

Besides, dolphins are cute animals that are not scary at all. Great white sharks are just about the same.

Science fiction is not realistic either. What it wants to reveal is the present, not the future.

Cops and robbers, war, suspense, magic, disaster, not even close to each other, exclude them all!

Zhou Shaoming crossed out all those words, and now only two movie types are left, namely drama and romance.

Many people may think that romance films are a type of drama film, and the relationship between the two is indeed subtle. Many times, the same movie is labeled as drama/romance film, which is both.

Drama films refer to films with story plot as the theme. Compared with other film types such as action films or romance films, which use action or love to advance the story, drama films mainly use the plot changes of the story or the development of the character's personality to drive the progress of the entire film.

Romance films are films that focus on expressing love, and use the hero and heroine to overcome misunderstandings, twists and turns and other obstacles in the process of love as narrative clues, and finally achieve an ideal happy ending or a tragic discrete ending.

From the perspective of the goals and results that "Dolphin Cove" wants to achieve, Zhou Shaoming can only choose one of them, or a combination of the two to express his ideas and change everyone's perception.

After integrating the understanding and genre differences of the two movies, Zhou Shaoming quickly came up with two plans.

One part is to show the truth of that massacre through the perspective of Animal Protection Association personnel or ordinary people.

The advantage of this plan is that it is closer to a documentary and easier to operate. The disadvantage is that the possibility of achieving good results at the box office is very small.

Although he had made up his mind that he would not be afraid even if he lost all his investment, Zhou Shaoming did not like that kind of ending. It would be better to have a good box office harvest and achieve his own goals.

The other part is about telling and instilling your own thoughts from the side through those touching love stories, which will be an eternal theme until the world is destroyed.

The advantage of this plan is that as long as the screenwriter does a good job, the language of the shots will be beautiful and desolate. There will always be a large number of young men and women coming to watch the movie, so there is no need to worry about the box office performance, it will definitely not be weak.

You must know that romance movies have always been a good recipe for box office explosions. In 1997, the North American box office exceeded 600 million, with Titanic; in 1990, with a box office of 210 million, The Sixth Sense (The Love between Humans and Ghosts), and even

Brokeback Mountain, which tells the story of gay love in 2005 and grossed US$83 million at the box office, is a movie that everyone talks about and will go down in history forever.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. Zhou Shaoming himself is not very old, and his relationship with Christina has been smooth. His understanding of love is not deep, and he is not confident in writing a good script.

Furthermore, focusing on love will dilute the ultimate goal of "The Cove" and make people remember the tears or smiles of lovers but forget the pain of dolphins. This is unacceptable to Zhou Shaoming.

I was confused and confused for a moment. I didn’t know what to do. This feeling made me feel very uncomfortable.
