The characteristic of "Men in Black" is to bring serious science fiction themes back to a relaxed daily life.
Although it is a science fiction film, the plots in the movie are based on reality.
The conflict between aliens and earthlings, you can substitute for the conflict between indigenous people and immigrants.
Everyday, countless people come to search for their dreams in international metropolis like Hong Kong and New York.
There is naturally no harmony between the indigenous people and the immigrants, and there will inevitably be various contradictions and conflicts.
Indigenous people often dislike immigrants, are arrogant and sarcastic, which is the so-called regional discrimination.
The essence of regional discrimination is that social development is unbalanced. People in developed areas get on the bus first. They are eager to weld the car doors to prevent later generations from stealing their jobs and benefits.
Those who engage in regional discrimination are often low-level citizens who are not doing well in the city.
They have no ability, but they have an inexplicable sense of superiority.
They got a good treatment by reincarnation, so they were naturally afraid that new immigrants would take away their benefits, so they would discriminate and wanted to use this method to squeeze others away.
As for the rich, they discriminate against every poor person equally, regardless of whether you are the bottom of the city or the farmers in the countryside.
For example, Tuocong said, "It's been 9012 and there are still sand sculptures that have you ever been abroad."
In "Men in Black", aliens also have to go through entry procedures when they come to Earth and must work hard to get their ID card.
The MIB of the second-tier agency is the Immigration Administration, with a "bureaucratic" style. The guard always reads the newspaper calmly. All agents are overtime social animals, which is like a daily professional drama.
At the same time, "Men in Black" is another classic science fiction carnival.
Butterfly effect, time travel, aliens, first contact, star war, alien big orange cat... all fantasies are included, and all stereotyped impressions are gathered, and all overturned.
Is the alien theme a third-rate urban legend? No, it's very serious, there are dedicated people to manage it on the earth.
Agencies like MIB are cool? Neither, the agents are all ordinary civil servants, and they are worried about catching illegal immigrants and are rolled down on their daily lives.
This deconstruction makes the audience's viewing experience very easy.
Because it is starring Chen Long, the charming style is indispensable.
Yang Ye used "ET Alien" to sell a wave of feelings again.
It means that it is done on the basis of maintaining Chen Long's style, and the overall viewing is pretty good.
Visually, all kinds of strange aliens and cool weapons have been added.
MIB's weapons are cool, all with silver streamlined all-metal shells, slightly steampunk retro style, from a shotgun-sized quantum cannon to a memory stick.
The famous prop "Memory Stick" is a sad weapon, both for others and for yourself.
It rescued countless times on-site emergency, erasing witness memories and hiding the existence of aliens, but when a man in black retired, he also had to point his memory stick at himself.
The alien settings are even more diverse.
The old gentleman lifted the blanket, and there were aliens holding human heads inside.
Aliens with human skin, aliens hidden in their brains, alien princes in the pantry, aliens in the multi-handed aliens hiding in the post office to automatically sort letters... All kinds of things will never be forgotten.
The final thing is to de-humanize and open up the pattern.
There is a famous line in the movie: "1,000 years ago, people thought the earth was the center of the universe.
500 years ago, people thought the earth was flat.
15 minutes ago, you thought the earth There are only humans.
The truth we are used to is not necessarily right."
Although it is a comedy, it still has a little sadness.
Being a man in black can open the door to a new world, see distant galaxies, and recognize life from the end of the universe, at the cost of giving up the identity of an ordinary person and being alone.
When joining the company, there is also an oath: "This uniform is your last outfit. You do not exist to the world. Your name is anonymous, and silence is your language..."
At the end of the movie, the camera travels through the vast universe, and the audience is surprised to find that the Milky Way where we are, and even the entire universe, is just a marble in the vast world.
Chen Long's movies often do not focus on the plot, and the story only connects clues to the fighting action.
This time, after adding a humorous and fashionable story, the impression was greatly improved. The film dealers on the scene were unanimous and believed that the box office had great potential.
So, as soon as the movie screening ended, film merchants from all over the country rushed to sign contracts.
Shi Nansheng was doing the issuance, so there was no need for Yang Ye to worry about it, and the group returned to Hong Kong.
Yang Ye said before that he would take the script of "Wu Shuang" to Zhang Guorong after he came back, and he regretted it after saying that.
Because he just didn't want Zhang Guorong to film "Spring Light", he made a random movie "Invincible" for him to film.
I only remembered afterwards that I made a mistake.
Because the movie "Wushuang" tells the story of a fake banknote gang printing a new version of US dollar bills after the release of a new version of US dollar bill in March 1996.
But it's just now in 1996, and the new version of the US dollar has only been released for two months.
The plot of this story lasts almost three years.
In other words, if you take photos now, the timeline is a bit too early.
It will take two years to wait.
So, when Zhang Guorong returned to Hong Kong and was excited to ask Yang Ye for the script, Yang Ye could only helplessly spread his hands: "I didn't write it well!"
Zhang Guorong was confused: "It's not you who said it Are you here to show me the script? "
Yang Ye said helplessly: "I think so, but I suddenly found that there is a huge bug in this story. I haven't figured out how to complete it yet, so... I can only go backwards Let’s talk about it. ”
Zhang Guorong was even more helpless: “I had a fight with Wong Kar-wai, and now the schedule is free, and I have nothing to do.”
Yang Ye thought about it, “Invincible” If you can't film it for a while, let's continue to modify "Harry Potter".
He said, "I have something to do, I am going to start filming "Xiaoyaoyou". I hope you can participate."
Zhang Guorong had known that Yang Ye was developing "Xiaoyaoyou", and he had also visited him specifically. The model of Shushan.
He said strangely, "That's not the story of a group of children, what can I play?"
"Play teacher, I hope you can play Li Yan."
< br>Li Yan is actually Severus Snape in "Harry Potter".
Snape is a very popular character, he is the dean of Slytherin College, the teacher of Harry, Hermione and Ron.
A such a popular character needs to be played by a big star. He is better off looking handsome and has a bit of melancholy temperament. Yang Ye thought of Zhang Guorong.
In "Harry Potter", Hotswarg's magic school includes four major colleges: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw.
The four major academies represent the four elements of fire, earth, water and wind.
Yang Ye changed his magic to four peaks of Shu Mountain, representing the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind. There is also a mountain-protecting beast in each mountain.
Li Yan, played by Zhang Guorong, is the first of the Biquan Peak, a water-based mountain peak. He is proficient in water-based and ice-based spells. The mountain-protecting beast of Biquan Peak is the Water Qilin.
Zhang Guorong has certainly read Yang Ye's novel, and he is very interested in the role of Li Yan.
The story of this character is very plump, and the plot is tragic to death in the end, which is absolutely beautiful and powerful. Zhang Guorong asked, "Did you even find Ayu? Who did she play?"
"She plays Wenhui and is the first person in Chi Yanfeng."
Chi Yanfeng is the benchmark for Gryffindor in "Harry Potter", which symbolizes fire.
Mileva McGonagall, the president of Gryffindor, is a woman, so Yang Ye Momo's first Chiyan Peak is also a woman. The mountain-protecting beast of Chiyan Peak is Zhuque.
This is also a very important role, so Yang Ye found Zhang Manyu, who has super talented acting skills, to play it.
Minerva McGonagall is an avid Quidditch enthusiast in Harry Potter.
Qidich was changed to the "Immortal World Cuju Competition" by Yang Yemo.
In the Quidditch Competition in "Harry Potter", the contestants compete on magic brooms, and in the Fairyland Cuju Competition, the contestants naturally compete on flying swords.
As for the collision in the game, will the flying sword poke people to death or something?
This won't be because Yang Ye added some physical settings to the novel, such as flying too fast will produce a sonic boom.
When flying with a sword, an invisible air shield will be generated, wrapping the person and the sword to avoid harm.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
...
In a few months, the Shushan model has been made and the effect looks good.
Yang Ye officially announced the launch of the "Xiaoyaoyou" project and began to form his own team.
This project is extremely large, and compared with Yang Ye's previous works, it is extremely difficult to change Western fantasy to Eastern fantasy.
The original version of the Daoyi and visual effects cannot be used, and they must be modified into Oriental.
This is a huge challenge for Yang Ye, who is used to being a plagiarism dog.
If you don't do it well, you will be ruined.
Fortunately, Yang Ye has great appeal and can use the strongest talents to support himself.
Yang Ye invited retired Xia Meng to come out and serve as the supervisor.
Ye Jintian serves as art director, Wu Baoling serves as clothing director, Cheng Xiaodong serves as action director, and Du Kefeng serves as photography director.
With these people escorting, the quality of the movie will be guaranteed to be basic.
Du Kefeng was going to Argentina with Wong Kar-wai to film "Spring Light".
As a result, Zhang Guorong quarreled with Wong Kar-wai after returning to Hong Kong, saying that Wong Kar-wai lied to him, and the two of them had a good time.
Without Zhang Guorong, "The Spring Light" will not be filmed for a while, so I can only invite someone else.
Sun glasses found Liu Hua, but Liu Hua is working on "Fast and Furious" recently, and there is no schedule unless Wong Kar-wai is willing to wait.
What's more, "Spring Light" was revealed by Yang Ye to be a gay movie. Liu Hua did not want to destroy his image and directly refused.
Yang Ye brought Wong Kar-wai's good partner Du Kefeng to play "Xiaoyaoyou".
In this way, "Spring Light" has become difficult to produce, and I don't know when it will start filming.
Wang Kar-wei was so depressed that he was desperate, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.
Du Kefeng greeted him and said that he was going to film "Xiaoyaoyou" with Yang Ye.
Wang Jiawei said, "Let me find out how Yang Ye knows that I want to make a gay movie."
Du Kefeng would not ask, and spread his hands and said, "I can't help you!"
... …
Unlike when "Harry Potter" was filmed, the young actors were auditions in the UK.
The main role, Ye Xiao and Yang Yao, has long decided to Liu Yifei.
As the movies continued one by one, she gradually grew from a little girl to a fairy, and her popularity was absolutely exploding.
Yang Ye has no suitable candidate for the male actor.
The male stars born in the 1980s who are more famous in the later generations are probably Nicholas Tse and Brother Hu, but they are too old, they must be around 1986 and 1987.
At this age group, there is basically nothing to play in the future, so the auditions are to be started.
In the audition, Yang Ye will certainly not say that the little heroine Yang Yao has been decided, but will choose all the small characters together.
As soon as the news of the audition was released, the entire Chinese world was in sensation.
"Xiaoyaoyou" is a set of seven novels published by Yang Ye. It is now adapted into a movie by Yang Ye himself. What is this concept?
The crew set up registration offices in five places: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Taipei, and the parents who came to apply for the job were squeezed out.
Yang Ye doesn't need to worry about this kind of primary election, he only needs the group of people who were shortlisted for the last one.
The whole movie has many characters, and the roles of some adults are also very important.
For example, Dumbledore, the principal of Hocivog Magic School, was transplanted to the head of Shushan Changmei, and needed an immortal actor to play it.
Hong Jingbao's long eyebrows in "The Legend of Shushan" are very good in shape.
But Hong Jingbao already has too many characters, including Fatty Wang in "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and the forced fighter in "Crime City".
No good things can be kept close to him, and Yang Ye finally chose the contemporary sword saint Yu Chenghui.
This old man has a very stylish beard, although he is now a black beard, just dye it white.
The interview takes a long time, and it is mainly left to Xia Menglai to coordinate and casting directors to screen.
Yang Ye only needs to make a decision on the last candidates.
In order to better engage in filming, Yang Ye decided to finish "Born a Couple" in advance.
This filming was very fast, only Liu Yifei played two roles alone, and it was a bit troublesome when she needed to appear at the same time.
It takes a little time to use the lens cover and then take a photo twice.
Yang Ye’s team was very efficient. By early June, the preliminary work of “Born a Couple” was completed.
Yang Ye summoned people and prayed to God to start the computer.
"Born a Couple" is a low-key startup, without notifying the reporter.
In a farm in the New Territories, actors such as Yang Ye, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei, Li Jiaxin, Ng Junru and other actors gathered together.
In addition to Yang Ye, Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei, and the family of four played by him. Li Jiaxin plays Yang Ye’s girlfriend, and Ng Junru plays Yang Ye’s housekeeper.
As for why Li Jiaxin is there, she has been pestering Yang Ye recently and wants to have a baby.
Yang Ye of course made her happy, so he simply let her play a role in the movie.
Everyone works together, which makes it easier to create people.
As for Liu Xiaoli and Li Jiaxin together... it’s exciting to think about it!
…
I wish you all a happy New Year and a fortune in the Year of the Snake! (This chapter ends)
