Chapter 458: Elegant violence
Eric simply told the story of the "Smiths" and Nicole listened carefully. When Eric finished, he said: "It sounds nothing special. It must be a killer pistol. Waiting for the head to be a popcorn movie for selling.∑"
"The solidification of human thinking is very serious. The word innovation is easier said than done. It is harder to do. It is possible to find similar companions in 99% of Hollywood movies. The key is how to shoot."
Nicole glanced at Eric: "I just said what I thought. You don't have to upgrade to the height of ‘humanity.'”
Eric laughed: "In fact, your understanding of this story is only on the most superficial surface. Of course, this certainly represents more than 90% of the audience's ideas. But if deeper deconstruction, this story is A true portrayal of marriage in real life."
"Ok?"
"John and Jane's marriage is the standard of love at first sight, and in reality, many marriages are the product of this impulse. However, they do not really understand each other, although they love each other, they do not open their hearts to each other, but instead Carefully guarding each other, it is doomed that they can not sustain the marriage for a long time. When the initial passion fades, the relationship between the two sides tends to be dull and boring, and eventually they have to conduct psychological counseling. At the same time, they pick up It was the order to kill each other. Because of this change, the invisible barrier between the two collapsed and they attacked each other and they began to truly understand each other. This is very similar to the reality of marriage, when both husband and wife fall into After the dispute, the other side that they have been carefully covering up will open to each other. In the end, the marriage will be reborn in the fire.
Eric finished, seeing Nicole have put down the tableware in his hand, holding his chin with one hand, looking at himself with gaze.
"What's wrong, is it really a special admiration for my erudite talent? Chick, relax, you are not the first one, nor the last one."
"I was just thinking. When will your ‘John Smith’ confess to me my true identity?”
Eric smiled and didn't answer. He knew that many people around him were very curious about how the special things he showed came from, and some people asked more than once, but this is bound to be impossible to explain. Rick also did not explain to others: "Many of the film and television novels, the protagonist tends to maintain a mediocre state for a long time, because of the stimulation of certain things, it is a blockbuster, and eventually become a superhero to save the planet. For example, Superman spider What about man?"
Nicole made a face that couldn't stand it: "Don't be bullshit, I don't ask."
"Ok. Then we continue to say "Smiths", you come to be the heroine, this script can be used as the first film that Disney and Colombia cooperate, just to let Paula Wagner act as producer, and get more."
Nicole nodded and looked at Eric. "Eric, how about you to play John Smith, have you not played "Return to Seventeen?"
Eric shook his head: "I don't have time."
Nicole also knows that she has some whimsy. Compared with a few years ago when she starred in "Returning to Seventeen," Eric now has to take care of the big Firefly Film Group and personally direct Jurassic Park. And other films from his own hands, Eric can not completely let go, in this case, he can not afford to spend half a year to star in the movie.
The main work of Jurassic Park will not begin until after the Oscar at the end of March. The firefly film industry after the acquisition of Disney is also on the right track. The cooperation with Colombia has also been finalized. Eric has a month of leisure. Time.
Therefore, although there is no time to participate in the "Smiths", but the time to write the film script in person is still very abundant, the script of one minute and one page, according to the memory in my mind, according to the current time background, slightly modified, It was knocked out in less than a week.
These days, Nicole also lived in the sharp corner manor, personally watching Eric knock out the "Smiths" script on the computer, and occasionally took a photo with the dog when he went out with Eric. Inevitably, there are some gossips.
After the "Smiths" script was released, Disney and Columbia quickly saw the script. Although the film was not a special effect, Columbia accepted the project very quickly.
After the project was confirmed, it was just that Eric had just had time to participate. Disney and Colombia couldn’t wait to start the preparatory work. In just one week, the budget table of the film was made because it was the first film of cooperation between the two parties. In order to ensure that nothing is lost, the film budget is quite loose.
In the screening room, Eric, Kasenberg and Peter Cooper watched the gun battle on the screen. "Smiths" involved a lot of gun battles, but in the list of directors given by Disney and Colombia, None of them can satisfy Eric, and for Eric, when it comes to gun battles, the first thing he thinks of is, of course, the classic heroes such as "Heroes themselves" and "Blood and Blood".
"Hong Kong's action films are most focused on making the audience pleasing to the eye. You see, this gun battle, the plot setting, the atmosphere of the paving, and the last three minutes of fierce gun battles, all reflect the director's superb control skills. For the "Smiths", what I want is an elegant violence. Even a male and female protagonist holding a large caliber shotgun looks like a feeling of affection, not a Hollywood director. Cruelty and realism," Eric looked at the movie screen and whispered it, and the screen played on the screen was the famous Fenglin Pavilion shootout in "The True Color of Heroes."
The three-pointed rifle game without any lines is in one go. For the average audience, this scene is just a high tide of a movie, but many directors regard this scene as an important imitation.
"Eric, you don't want to invite the Hong Kong director who will only shoot b-level films to direct "Smiths and Couples"?" Peter Cooper's tone is a bit disdainful, he did not appreciate the "Heroes of the True Color" Instead, he sneered at the rough scenes and pictures of the Hong Kong film.
"why not?"
"Nothing, I just have some concerns that they will screw up this movie," Peter Cooper felt the toughness in Eric's tone and replied with a smirk.
Eric also didn't want to talk to Peter Cooper, explaining: "The film market in Hong Kong is too small. In order to ensure that the cost can be recovered, the directors there have to compress the budget. This does not mean that they will only shoot b-level films. ”
"Eric, have you seen the director of this film?" Kasenberg said, referring to the movie being played.
Eric nodded, although in the original time, Wu Baige’s career style was fascinated by epic films, and a “Windtalker” broke his own Hollywood road. A “Tai Ping Wheel” was absolutely in the game. The development of the mainland, but when it comes to shooting gun movies, the top ones in the history of Hong Kong movies are basically the works of Wu Baige. When calculating the time, Wu Baige should almost enter Hollywood, because "Ninja Turtle" also In the sequel to the production of the sequel, the fireflies have been in contact with the Hong Kong side, and now it is just the time to let the other side match.
