Chapter 555 Shen Changlin understands the audience too well! (14)

"Ex Machina" is a sci-fi film, and someone has explained it on the Internet
The starring role is actually Naza.

A Chinese actress starring in a Hollywood sci-fi film?
The key point is that Changlin Film and Television didn't promote much...

Nazha chatted about "Ex Machina": "I am playing an artificial intelligence. The story is quite simple. I heard that it is an expansion of a short film... It is to determine whether the artificial intelligence has self-awareness through the Turing test."

"The cost must be very low, we only have five actors... The scene is also very fixed, just a house, I just finished filming in 13 days!"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Naza replied casually: "This show is invested by our company!"

The media hurriedly asked Shen Changlin, and he nodded: "Anyway, the cost is not high, and the cost of trial and error is still affordable..."

"...I really like movies about artificial intelligence like "Her" and "Mechanical Enemy". I watched the short film of "Ex Machina" in 06, and I also learned about the term Turing Test. There just happened to be a branch in North America. The company, which specializes in B-movies, had a chat with Alex Garland, the director of the short, and made this scene…”

"It should be released in China in early June. Just look forward to it."

"Before we made this film, we didn't even think about how much the market would respond to it...Naza is purely because she is free, and she is her own person, so the salary is easy to negotiate...And she doesn't play tricks, tell her this The show was good, so she took it!"

The reporter gave it a thumbs up: "You all said the play is good, who will pick it?"

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "You can't say that, the $400 million low-cost B-grade movie is not sure whether it can be released, and many actors refused it as soon as they heard it..."

"Does Naza want to enter Hollywood?"

"There is no need for that, the domestic market is booming... Of course, if there are good characters, she will definitely be considered first." After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "After Nazha, there will be a "Jurassic World". We're helping her fight for "Bourne Shadow 5", and if nothing else happens, we should be able to win..."

"Is it the heroine?"

"Yes! And there are a lot of dramas..."

Nazha interjected: "Our producer said that I am suitable for acting in action scenes... He doesn't think I can play a vase well. Their aesthetics are not the same as ours. The vases are all those with big buttocks..."

"...Say a few words less!"

Shen Changlin interrupted her, the girl was too frank...

But there was nothing wrong with what she said, Nazar was a little thin, and the exoticism was not very obvious in Hollywood's eyes.

The Anza people’s proper term Orientalism, also called Orientalism, is a prejudiced way of thinking or cognitive system that deeply rooted Westerners despise Eastern culture and arbitrarily fabricate “Oriental culture”.

In this cognitive system, exotic women are also called the xenophilic, which are very attractive to them, such as boudoir, veil, geisha, etc. Oriental women are portrayed as slutty, passive and exotic...

Specific to Hollywood commercial drama films, female characters are generally the object of sexual fantasy in a certain sense, and exotic style is an important aesthetic at this level.

So Gong Li played a lot of such roles in Hollywood, "Miami Vice", "Hannibal Prequel", "Sea of ​​Spy"...

However, Gong Li is plump...

In fact, back then, Gong Li was also criticized, saying that she sold meat for favor.

Naza should not be able to ascend to this kind of throne.

……

After accumulating five films, Shen Changlin is already a leader in mainland commercial films. When a new film is released, naturally countless fans will watch it immediately...

In fact, some senior movie fans are quite worried about Shen Changlin's cooperation with Jackie Chan.

According to past experience, it doesn’t matter who the director is, Jackie Chan’s starring role is called Jackie Chan’s movie. Except for those few times, the box office hit the street—"Around the World in Eighty Days", "Shinjuku Incident"...

However, most movie fans feel that the cooperation between Shen Changlin and Jackie Chan is a good talent-Shen Changlin himself started his family by relying on action movies.

Anyway, the attendance rate of the screening hall is very high.

A few more professional film critics also came...

For example, Zhou Liming.

In fact, before coming here, most people knew that the story of "The Wronged Man" should be relatively weak...

You can tell what kind of movie this is from the outline of the story at a glance.

It's nothing more than the boss Jinpen returning to the arena after washing his hands, covering the sky with his own strength.A typical type of countering violence with violence.

It depends on the action and the process...

Shen Changlin did not disappoint them.

At the very beginning of the movie, the opening scene is a bar. Jackie Chan, played by Jackie, wears glasses and looks like a retired teacher from head to heel.

He sat by the window, arranged the tableware in an orderly manner, and then took out a book—"Epictetus Discourses", and the waiter brought the food.

"Jack!"

People around greet him...

"Hello…"

Jackie Chan also raised his head and smiled back, and then the prostitute played by Nazha appeared, with exaggerated makeup, especially the lip gloss... There is a feeling that he has just received a customer...

"Jack!"

"Na..."

It's obvious they're acquaintances...

The opening scenes briefly introduce Jack's daily life. He works in a supermarket during the day, and after work, he habitually goes to the same bar to enjoy dinner...

Na is also a frequent customer of the bar, and the two occasionally exchange a few words...

One day, with a wound on Na's face, Jack cares casually, Na smiled wryly, and instead of answering, asked him, "You should know what my profession is..."

'Yeah, I know! '

'Do you think there is a future for people like me? '

'Of course there is...'

Na didn't speak, and finished eating without saying a word: "Can you walk with me?"

"My pleasure!"

The two walked along the Tobin Bridge, and after chatting for a few minutes, two cars drove up, and then a few pimps got out of the car and took Na away, and another person glanced at Jack and handed him a Business card: "For $70, you can do whatever you want with her! Think about it!"

In the car, Na was sitting in the back row, staring at Jack with eyes filled with dead silence...

Without saying a word, Jackie drove home...

Sitting on the couch, he begins to read a letter - from his wife.

At this time, Jack's background was revealed—he used to be a top killer, but because his wife died of illness, he moved and came to live in Boston. There was only a puppy named Page at home, and a Mitsubishi EVO given to him by his wife.

"We are on the stage we didn't choose, and the performance is not the script we chose. Life is like this... No one's script is worth admiring. We only need to perform our own script well!"

Seems like self comforting...

Jack picked up the puppy, sat on the sofa and fell asleep...

The next day, he came to the bar as usual, but Na didn't show up until ten o'clock in the evening...

He goes to the hospital, and then meets the girl Na was with once, played by Madeleine Carroll.

Madeleine Carroll told Jackie that Na was dead.

"The boss said it was an accident...Sometimes when we encounter such violent customers, we can only pray..."

Jackie Chan said nothing...

Then drove to find the pimp that day.

Angry shot them a lesson, and when they got home... they found that the dog was dead...

Well, conflict creation is complete!

Before that, Jack went back to Chinatown and found an old friend from the past to investigate the identity of the other party...

The next sixty minutes are almost all drama.

……

Zhou Liming watched the whole scene, and felt... very smooth. In fact, there was no explosion scene in the whole play, and even guns were rarely used, almost all were unarmed combat...

Especially in the final decisive battle in the warehouse of the supermarket, there were not a lot of gun battles, almost all Jackie Chan-style fighting-using the tools in the warehouse.

But unlike your standard Jackie Chan action comedy, the action in this one is violent!
The movements are clean and neat, punching to the flesh, although not bloody, but broken hands, broken bones, stabbed hearts, cut throats and so on emerge in endlessly...

The scale is huge!

Of course, there is no frontal close-up in the domestic release version, but it can also be seen that the action design of this film is different from previous Jackie Chan action films.

The ending kills the black cops and the Albanian gang in Boston...

Retired, Jack bought a new dog, sat on the sofa at home, and the movie was almost over.

Just as Zhou Liming was about to leave, the easter egg started, it was a phone call: "Hey... old guy, are you still alive?"

Jackie Chan, who was originally sitting on the sofa in the room, still had a solemn face, but when he heard this, he immediately said, "You just died!"

"I heard uncle said that you are in trouble?"

"... The small matter... has been settled!"

"Then you open the door, I'm at your door!"

"... "

Jackie Chan opened the door, and then Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung appeared on the big screen, and the three sixty-year-olds hugged each other...

As soon as the screen went black, the subtitles lit up: "The Emancipator 2" please look forward to it!
"Depend on!"

Even Zhou Liming couldn't help but want to curse...

Shen Changlin really understands the audience so well!

Actually found Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao...

Just for this easter egg, "The Wronged Man" saved at least hundreds of millions of publicity fees, and they have been hiding this matter all the time.
