Q: I think you almost said "Boss, change the disc".
L: Yes, after seeing the flashback structure again, again, and again, I wanted to change it at that time. It's a pity that there have been too many "changing discs" recently, which has seriously delayed the progress of the viewing experience. There is no way to finish it.
Q: It seems that there are many problems in the back.
L: I'll give you a sandbox to deduce the process of the film's hair growth, and you can see the biggest problems with the film. "Boss, I haven't cheated money recently. I thought of a theme." "What theme?" "What about the alien invasion? 2012 is almost here, and you can make a profit!" "Well, I see it! Have you thought about the story? "Think about it, the aliens are coming, the US military resisted, and finally defeated the aliens." "There must be a nucleus!" "A guy who was designed to be discharged is shrouded in the shadows of the past, Finally come out." "Well, okay, is one nuclear enough?" "Not enough, let's say 'the army loves the people, the people support the army', anyway, the army wants to get this in, you know, it's not easy to recruit now "..." "What is the beginning, this is very important!" "I probably divided the scene, and found that the length of the film was insufficient, so I was going to write a brief biography of the main characters at the beginning, and everyone sketched a few strokes..." "No, no! To be more attractive, start with the alien invasion!" "What should I do if the film is not long enough..." "You SB, just flash back!"
Q: I see, the artificial feeling is too strong.
L: The whole half-finished product is still unqualified. There is not much to say about the film itself, that's all. Let's start with that and talk about something else.
Q: How do you feel?
L: I only realized a phenomenon today. Have you noticed? Ninety-nine percent of films about military struggles with aliens were made by Americans. Ninety-nine percent of it is because I can't say enough words. I really can't think of any other country who has filmed it. There are too many in the United States, so I didn't talk about it before, just talk about the closest ones, such as "Shenzhen", "Starship Troopers", "District 9", etc., many.
Q: Americans have a lot of money. This kind of film has to be a big production.
L: Then you are underestimating the determination and ability of capitalists in other countries to pursue profits. If you want to shoot, it is not a big problem to partner with several large companies in Europe, Japan and South Korea. Why do you think only Americans are so keen on making films about fighting with aliens?
Q: Does it have
something to do with the Cold War? The US and the Soviet Union are fighting for hegemony. After all, the US has taken the lead in the Western camp. The alien invasion is used to symbolize the unreasonable and incommunicable Soviet invasion... L: It's a little bit, but it's not the main reason. It has been more than 20 years since the Cold War ended. No matter how big the hostility is now, it has disappeared. The motherland is not strong enough for the old and the United States to launch a new Cold War. Therefore, ideological confrontation is not the focus of the mainstream audience in the world at present. What you said about "the United States taking the lead" is the key. In the past, the Soviet Union used its milk-feeding strength, and it was able to compete with the old and the United States for several rounds. Once the Soviet Union disintegrated, in the world, it has always been "the United States taking the lead". ". Why should Lao Mei take the lead? Wealth, soft power, people's independence and freedom are all bullshit. In the final analysis, military strength is the first, and it is more than one or two grades ahead of the "second people". So, if you want to trick the audience into the movie theater, you have to make up all the imaginary enemies in reality, such as the motherland, Japan, North Korea, or even Europe. They are boring and the audience is not interested. Think about it with your heels and win! In the end, the suspense of who wins and who loses cannot be built at all! Then we can only turn the aliens into imaginary enemies. Anyway, no one has ever seen them before. They are wild, saying that the aliens are as powerful as they are, and at least they can fight against the U.S. military. If you think about why other countries don’t make movies about fighting aliens, it will become clear that the sky is falling and the top of the tall man is coming. Aliens are really coming. Except for the United States, it doesn’t matter if other countries win or lose. Now, the U.S. hasn’t made a move yet. Maybe the aliens can take over the earth, and the movie can’t end. If they win, the Americans will win, and it will definitely be easier than you win. Soft advertising, who has nothing to do with this, isn't it cheap!
Q: You are right, I just disagree with one thing, I don't think the Americans can beat us! As long as they dare to invade us, they will never let them go back alive!
L: In the age of nuclear weapons, when two nuclear powers are fighting, there is no question of who can fight the other, and in the end, they will all be completely ruined (of course, the premise is that our nuclear weapons have the opportunity to be sent out, and the TMD and NMD sent to others cannot be stopped) . No one uses nuclear weapons, and when the will to win is equal (the U.S. government cannot afford too much loss of personnel, it is impossible to be "comparable" to us), if you insist that the advanced can't defeat the backward, the ones who often fight can only defeat the laggards. If you are practicing, then you can suggest to the Military Commission, let's just stay behind and get a kitchen knife for one person, don't practice, the more hands you have, the better! Distinguishing the logic of propaganda from the logic of reality is very important in the motherland, whether you are an official or a commoner. It's a small thing to miss you, but it's a big thing to misunderstand the country and the people. (laugh)
