Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 840
A film without foreigners is a co-production with Hollywood.
For such a multi-role co-production film, the absence of Hollywood actors is a disaster.
This is not like other movies. Whether it is Die Hard or Lethal Weapon, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are the first leading actors in it, and their roles account for nearly half.
In this way, from the beginning to the end of the movie, there is enough space for the audience to know them, remember them, and enter the plot as much as possible.
Once you enter the plot, it doesn’t matter if you are from your own ethnic group.
But for a movie like Eleven Arhats with many characters, it is particularly important whether there is a skin color that you are familiar with, and whether there are people from your own ethnic group.
Because, after all, they are not too familiar actors. If Isshiki is a Hong Kong actor, then for North American audiences, let alone substituting the plot, understand the plot, less than two hours of film length, can they let them put such a group of strangers It is a big problem to figure out the person’s face, name, background, and the link in charge that are hard to remember.
"You have at least twelve important characters in this script. With so many people, do you think the audience can remember?" Wang Jing is also full of worries about the issue of too many characters.
"I know that it is not easy for the audience to remember all so many people in a movie, but the plot design will maximize the distribution of roles for everyone, so that everyone has a distinct personality and specialty. "Worry about Wang Jing , Qiao Feng explained.
"But there are too many people, no matter how vividly you write, you can't guarantee that everyone will be remembered by the audience." Wang Jing pouted.
Qiao Feng nodded and said: "You are right, it is difficult to do this, so I just try to write their personalities and specialties as clearly as possible. As for whether the audience can remember everyone clearly, then It depends on the minds of the audience. For me, it is not so important for the audience to remember everyone. I only need the audience to remember the thief, his ex-wife, the casino owner and the rest Two or three characters would be fine."
Qiao Feng’s words sound a bit irresponsible to Wang Jing. But as far as Qiao Feng is concerned, he really thinks so.
Because before he was a fake screenwriter, he was a real audience.
When he saw the eleven arhats back then, he was in such a state. With so many people, all foreigners, how could he remember all the eleven arhats who participated in it clearly.
No nonsense. After watching the movie, Qiao Feng can remember six people, a thief, an ex-wife, a gambling master played by Brad Pitt, a thief from Matt Damon, and a casino. The boss and the Chinese juggler Qin Shaobo.
The reason why these six people are remembered is because several of them are more important roles, and whether it is George Clooney or Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon are all big stars, and the casino owner Is an opponent, and Qin Shaobo is because he is Chinese.
Even after a few years, after seeing Eleven Arhats three or four times, Qiao Feng still could not remember all the Eleven Arhats.
Therefore, it is because of his own light experience that Qiao Feng said to Wang Jing this irresponsible remark.
Because this kind of film really can only be taken care of as much as possible, and it cannot be said that it must be taken care of.
This is also the reason why Qiao Feng wants to give twelve important roles, six to Hong Kong actors, and six to Hollywood actors.
Otherwise, this film was released in North America, and Qiao Feng didn't have the confidence to make money.
Who made this film a standard entertainment film: a group of robbers designed to rob the casino, tightly guarded guards, difficult levels, clever tricks to calculate every second, and of course it was done.
The story of the Eleven Arhats is not particularly exciting and exciting. It uses simple and slightly humorous scenes to cleverly promote the development of the plot. On the one hand, it deliberately "leaked" many secrets in the process of planning the robbery.
As long as such films are not all Hollywood actors, they can't splash any water at all.
Moreover, the layout of the story is not difficult to talk about, that is, it has a unique ingenuity that is rarely seen in general entertainment films.There is no ideological name to speak of. 100% of popcorn movies are forgotten after you have watched them, but when you watch them, the movies can definitely make people relish and have a taste.
Such a film does not praise people, it is really not praise people, at most, it means that the audience will be more familiar with the thief, the thief’s wife, and one or two important characters.
And this is quite suitable for Zhou Runfa who wants to break into Hollywood.
Several films such as the bloody duo have recently hit the bottom with a small fire, and the addition of such a cheerful film that can be watched by North American audiences adds a bit of familiarity. It is undoubtedly difficult for Zhou Runfa to follow in Hollywood. Less.
This is what Qiao Feng expects for this movie. As for Qiao Feng's expected return at the box office, he didn't expect much.
Also because the expected investment of Qiao Feng in this film is not large, the Hollywood actors he intends to find will not be famous.
Wang Jing also understood what Qiao Feng meant, so he thought about it for a while and said, "Since you said that, apart from the set Fa Ge, Hong Gu, and Liang Chaowei, I don’t think there is any need to look for the remaining three actors. Popular actors. It’s not easy to remember anyway, and North American audiences are not familiar with the popular actors here, so there is no need to waste the pay. I think it’s enough to find Liu Qingyun and Huang Qiusheng. Liu Qingyun plays the professional hair Poker player, Huang Qiusheng will play that computer expert. As for the juggler, I will ask someone to see if it is suitable."
"Don't worry about the juggler. This kind of person is hard to find from Hong Kong. It happened that Qingxia went to the mainland, and I asked her to look for it in the mainland. As for Liu Qingyun, Huang Qiusheng..."
Speaking of this, Qiao Feng paused, and then smiled intriguingly: "Didn't you cooperate more with Wu Zhenyu? Why don't you choose him but Huang Qiusheng?"
"I think Huang Qiusheng is more suitable. He looks so much like a foreigner, maybe people in North America will treat him as his own, and then let him get angry over there." Wang Jing laughed.
"Is that so?" This answer was a bit disappointing.
"Hey, it's more than that. Don't think Huang Qiu is a mixed race, he looks so foreign, but I heard people say that he is very patriotic. You know I am also very patriotic. Not to mention, so. ...I'm the one" Wang Jing laughed again at this point.
"Well, it's my own." After hearing Wang Jing's words, Qiao Feng looked at Wang Jing meaningfully again and nodded.
