Chapter 475: Change the necessary plot

Even if Cheng Long doesn't have any good ideas, it's not a big deal, because Cheng Long is the real protagonist, and what he does is to be tolerant of others, and that's enough.

Just like Ye Ming, he could see the shortcomings of the second part of "Rush Hour". Cheng Long was very humbly asking Ye Ming for advice. This is Cheng Long's method. Find an expert to solve the problem. This is enough. , Ye Ming thought for a while, with a hesitant expression on his face. After Cheng Long's repeated questioning, Ye Ming said: "Actually, it's not that there is no way, but the plot needs to be changed."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present was shocked. Zhang Ziyi even looked at Ye Ming like he was an idiot. In the past two days, Zhang Ziyi had somewhat understood some of the rules of Hollywood movies. The plot was so powerful. King, if you change the plot casually, will the screenwriter agree? I'm afraid it would be strange if he didn't eat Ye Ming alive if he found out.

At this time, even director Bright shook his head and said, "This is almost impossible. Mr. Ye, you'd better not think about it."

Cheng Long said with a very calm look: "Ye Ming, tell me what you think."

As soon as he said this, people were even more shocked. Ye Ming said that changing the plot would seem like a crazy idea to others. If he said this, then when Cheng Long continued to ask, it would be even more shocking. It's a crazy idea.

Even if Ye Ming's proposal is a bit shocking, no matter how it is said, it is just a proposal and has no substantial impact on the crew. But if Cheng Long also asks like this, it means that Cheng Long Long was interested in hearing how Ye Ming solved the problem, which meant that Cheng Long might really change the plot because of Ye Ming's suggestion.

Cheng Long is the real boss in the crew. If he wants to change the plot, then it is possible. After all, this is a crew centered on Cheng Long, who has the final say.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Actually, the main plot of the script does not need to be touched. It means that my character can show different performances in kung fu. Think about it, after the biggest villain of the movie defeated countless policemen , Brother, you and Tucker teamed up to defeat the big villain and achieved a happy ending. This is a plot that was not available in the first part. In the first part, the big villain was a bit weak and was completely overshadowed by the two of them. Living.

If we talk about the second part, if the villain can have a counterattack, even if it is a temporary counterattack, it will give people a refreshing feeling. "

A proposal like Ye Ming's is indeed quite special, but there are similar plots in Hollywood. For example, in the 007 series of movies, Bond's opponents are usually super-arrogant opponents. In this case, If Bond appears as a lone hero and kills the enemy, it will have a strong contrasting effect at a time like this.

For the 007 series of movies to be everlasting, beautiful heroes and killing powerful villains are all necessary factors. However, audiences, especially Western audiences, are actually very interested in this kind of lonely hero plot. Just like it.

As a native American and a star who has been in Hollywood for many years, Tucker heard this and said: "Director, Jack, I think if this is the case, then I don't think there is any problem. The story has not been changed at all. The plot of the movie highlights the dragon in the story and shows the hero's tall background. I like this kind of story, and I think many viewers will also like it."

Cheng Long is a veteran filmmaker, and it is easy to understand Ye Ming's thoughts. Although Ye Ming has a private message and wants to highlight his role below, even a veteran filmmaker like Cheng Long , then in such a situation, he had to admit that Ye Ming's idea was very good.

At that moment, Cheng Long nodded and said, "If you just make some small modifications like this, then I think there will be no problem."

Cheng Long agreed to this. Director Bright, who has always been opposed to changing the plot without authorization, thought about it. This did not change the plot. Indeed, it did not change anything. It was also an explanation for the screenwriter. As a director, he still has enough rights to do whatever he wants. Directors still have the right to change the general plot and make some subtle adjustments, like what Ye Ming said, to highlight the villain.

Moreover, Cheng Long said that there was no problem with such a thing, and the remaining people had no objections at all. In this crew, Cheng Long is the boss, and although director Bright is the boss in name only, he still needs to respect Cheng Long's opinions.

Therefore, he nodded and said: "In that case, there is no problem. Extend the fighting plot. I have to discuss this with the editor. It needs at least one day."

Even if the second part of Rush Hour is just a subtle adjustment like this, the screenwriter must be notified. The director has the right to do this, but what kind of changes and what things should be started can show some traces. It's not even exposed, and it fits perfectly with the entire movie. This requires the cooperation of the screenwriter.

Therefore, in Hollywood, screenwriters are very important. This is not just a matter of words. It is the screenwriter's own strong strength that earns him a position. Some directors even say they are screenwriters themselves, such as Lucas, Spielberg, etc. They themselves are top directors, but they are also screenwriters. There is no conflict in this point. In fact, movies written by the director herself allow her to control the entire movie.

One day, this is a holiday, the second part of Rush Hour. It is rare to have such a holiday at this time, because the filming in Hong Kong City is originally scheduled to be full. Cheng Long's movie can cause a sensation at any time. , therefore, sometimes it is not easy to shoot an outdoor scene. Being able to take a vacation at this time is simply incredible.

It just happens that Cheng Long and Bright are both very persistent people who pay attention to leanness. They must contact the screenwriter. Only after the screenwriter confirms that there are no problems with the modifications will the filming begin. Under such a situation, Ye Ming had a free day. He wanted to go to Chen Xi, but at this time, the Chen family might have no reason to stop him from meeting Chen Xi.

Berlin's best actor and chairman of Brilliant Film and Television, these are enough to prove Ye Ming's value. But Ye Ming later got the news that Chen Xi had gone to study in the United States. He didn't know the reason, but he was indeed not in the port city. This made Ye Ming feel very disappointed.

At this time, in fact, Ye Ming was not the only one who felt disappointed. At this moment, the crew of "Swordsman" in the Mainland were even more disappointed with producer Zhang Jizhong and director Huang Jianzhong.

The two of them have had a lot of headaches in the past two days, not because of anything else, but because of the big name of the crew, Shao Bin. In fact, according to Zhang Jizhong's methods, even if there are celebrities in his crew, they would not dare to play big names. However, at this time, there is an exception.

Shao Bin is a different big name. In fact, according to Shao Bin's reputation, he is not qualified to be a big name in the Swordsman crew. Who doesn't know that Zhang Jizhong is famous for his hot temper in the circle, but Shao Bin has My own backer.

At this time, Huang Jianzhong thought for a while and said: "Shao Bin's recent performance has become more and more outrageous. At this time, does he think he has got a role like Guo Jing? Therefore, at this time, there are some Unscrupulous, do you think we have no way to replace people?"

At this time, in fact, the crew of "Swordsman" has already said that it has been filming for nearly a month. According to the filming schedule, there will be two episodes, and the cost is already millions. This is for anyone It's a lot of pressure on a crew.

However, Shao Bin's behavior was indeed a bit outrageous. Zhang Jizhong snorted and said: "I think this is actually what this guy thinks. If we replace him, our losses will be great. He has made up his mind that we are He won't change people casually. It takes more than half an hour to make a phone call and has the entire crew waiting for him. How arrogant it is. Where did he think this song was? He thought the entire crew was waiting for him. It's run by his family, so you can do whatever you want. If this continues, how can we make movies? Actors who act like big names and don't listen to the director, I don't think there is any need to stay, otherwise, then we The crew is considered destroyed."

In fact, Huang Jianzhong also thinks this way, but Huang Jianzhong himself is the director, and he does not have such big rights. Even if he wants to change Shao Bin's local dialect, he still has to deal with such an issue. Zhang Jizhong nodded. Therefore, he can think about some things by himself, but if he really wants to do it, he still needs Zhang Jizhong to nod.

Therefore, after hearing such words, Huang Jianzhong knew very clearly that Zhang Jizhong was angry. This time it was definitely said that Zhang Jizhong was really angry.

This can be seen from Zhang Jizhong's firm eyes.

Changing actors will cost one million yuan, and Zhang Jizhong will be responsible for this.

Therefore, it is not easy to make the decision to make a substitution, and it also proves that Shao Bin is indeed quite arrogant on the crew. Otherwise, Zhang Jizhong would never have any intention of making a substitution. This is a taboo for military strategists. It is impossible for a producer who is not a decisive and resolute producer to have such courage unless he reaches a certain level.

At this time, Zhang Jizhong actually made up his mind to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. He killed Shao Bin to frighten other actors. In my Zhang Jizhong crew, it was the dragon that coiled around me and the tiger that lay on its back. (To be continued)
