Chapter 29 From Village to Madness
"Pattern, this is the pattern, some people's pattern dooms their future in this life!" Ning Xiaohao came back from the prop center cursing, he was pissed off by He Zheng.

It's not that he was reluctant to spend money to buy it, but he couldn't stand the differential treatment between himself and Guo Fan. Why would a guy who doesn't understand movies dare to look down on his own movies!

And when Ning Xiaohao returned to the crew, he saw Guo Fan was still watching his own script, so he went up and asked, "Guo Fan, what do you think of my movie and script? Is there a problem?"

"Old Ning, I should have congratulated you, but for the sake of the youth hostel where we slept together for three months, I have to tell you that your script is very problematic!" Guo Fan said in a deep voice.

"..." Ning Xiaohao originally wanted to ask Guo Fan for comfort, but Guo Fan's words hit his throat again, and he said after a while, "Okay, tell me, there is a problem! "

"Well, first of all, the biggest and most important question is, what does this movie have to do with the rural teacher's novel?" Guo Fan's rhetorical question left Ning Xiaohao speechless.

He opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly, "I admit that the script changes are a bit big, but this is something that can't be helped. The volume of the rural teacher's story is too small. If I don't add some original plots into it, no matter what It is also impossible to make a 120-minute movie.”

"Are you adding something to the original?" Guo Fan rolled his eyes and said, "You don't even have a teacher, and you have a monkey trick instead, and there is no village, at most it is a village in the city. No wonder you want to The name has been changed to "Crazy Alien", otherwise Da Liu's readers will spray you to death."

Da Liu's original work "Country Teacher" tells a very serious story.

It is said that in a poor and ignorant closed mountain village, there is one and only one rural teacher. This great teacher would rather give up his own medical treatment, and spend the last time and money of his life to teach his students. In the end, there are 4 Under his teaching, a child understood what is called the three laws of mechanics, and then the rural teacher died.

As a result, at this time, in the distant Milky Way, carbon-based life and silicon-based life launched a final decisive battle. In the end, carbon-based life won, but silicon-based life still has the possibility of making a comeback.

In order to prevent the opponent from rising again, the carbon-based life decided to create an isolated belt in the Milky Way to destroy all civilizations that do not have the characteristics of advanced civilizations, so they came to the earth and captured the children on the Loess Plateau to the spaceship.

By testing the cubs of these different world civilizations, it is judged whether the earth civilization has developed an advanced civilization. At the beginning, the aliens asked a lot of high-end knowledge, but naturally these children could not answer.

Until the last three most basic laws of mechanics, if this question cannot be answered, it will prove that the earth civilization is only a low-level civilization, and the entire earth will be destroyed directly.

And these children are the children who were taught by the village teacher with their lives at the last moment. They finally successfully answered the three laws of mechanics, making the alien civilization believe that the earth civilization is an advanced civilization, and gave up the plan to destroy the earth. In other words, these three children finally saved the world. It is said that the dedicated rural teacher, like many teachers, has inherited and developed human civilization.

From this simple description, we can know how serious and thought-provoking the "Country Teacher" is, but "The Crazy Alien" in Guo Fan's hands has become another completely different story.

That is, the alien ambassador ran to the earth and wanted to establish diplomatic relations with humans, but due to a series of reasons, he fell into the hands of a monkey tricker, and at the same time lost his weapon and became a Congo Sao monkey.Such a member from a higher civilization that is more developed than the earth is trained and beaten by the monkey people as a monkey.

At the same time, the people of Huaguo also learned of the existence of this alien and wanted to find this alien.

After a series of ironic stories happened, the alien successfully retrieved his weapon, and he was angry to destroy the whole earth.

Of course, at the last moment, the alien and the protagonist reconciled, and even became friends, and left the earth together with liquor and Chinese wine table culture.

Just by reading the brief introductions of the two stories, one can understand that these two stories cannot be said to be adapted, not even genetically modified!

But hearing Guo Fan's words, Ning Xiaohao could only sigh helplessly.

"I can't help it. At the beginning, I really wanted to make a film about a rural teacher. The script was also a normal script. But the investors were not satisfied after reading the script. This script can't use my comedy skills."

"At the beginning, they tried their best to add some comedy elements to the original work, and changed more than 10 versions of the script. But the rural teacher itself is a very serious story, even if it can pass some gags in daily life. Playing around for fun, but the last part of the plot is still tragic, full of a lot of profound content, and the audience may not be able to accept it. So in the end, it still lacks the comedy that investors need in their thinking."

"So the investor asked, don't make aliens appear so far away, only appearing at the last minute. Instead, let aliens appear in life, so that we can use the differences between the two civilizations and races to create Contrasting cuteness and laughter, and then running through the entire movie."

"So the plot changed from the original aliens who caught the children of the earth on the spaceship to the alien ambassadors who came to visit the earth, and then the spaceship crashed in the mountain village. At the same time, they suffered all kinds of humiliation from the villagers and vowed to destroy Earth. But through getting along with the children in the mountain village and learning that they have learned the three laws of mechanics, this is how we let the earth go.”

"This revision is not bad, at least it has the spirit of the original work of the rural teacher! Why don't you use this version?" Guo Fan asked puzzled.

"I want to use this version, but the investors don't allow it. They say that the current Qianguo is no longer the Qianguo of decades ago, and that the kind of loess and high slope movies are only suitable for literary films. I haven't seen director Zhang Da. Don’t you want to make his rural movies anymore? You still need to transfer the scene to the city, which is closer to daily life and easier to create comedy! So the countryside has become a village in the city!”

"It's okay here, it's still a village..." Guo Fan said.

"But this version is still not good, because if it is a village in the city, it does not make sense that only 4 children can understand the setting of the three laws of mechanics. After all, even if it is a village in the city, the educational conditions in it are by no means comparable to those in the countryside. of."

"So the investors wanted to change the three laws of mechanics, but they didn't know what to change. Until one day when I was drinking with the investors, the biggest investor said something like "this Wine is a good thing, no matter how hard you fight outside the wine table, you have to be friends at the wine table! "

"Then the investor was so inspired that he decided to use liquor to replace the three laws of mechanics, so that the humiliated aliens could drink to reconcile with humans!"

"..." Guo Fan was speechless, but in the end he couldn't help asking, "Where's the teacher? The teacher can always be kept!"

"Yes, originally the setting of the teacher was preserved, but then the investors insisted that I invite Huang Heipi and Shen Xialuo to be the protagonists. You also know their status in the comedy world. The two of them are the box office guarantee, and the pre-sale alone is estimated to sell 10 billion yuan."

"Of course, whether it is Huang Heipi or Shen Xialuo, it is difficult for them to play the role of teacher well. Because the teacher in the original book is a serious role that requires a strong spirit of sacrifice, but the two of them simply cannot play such a role."

"The images of the two of them have been fixed so that the audience can't help but laugh immediately when they see their faces. If they are forced to follow the teacher's script, the whole movie will be very awkward to shoot."

"So then I redesigned the character of the Monkey Man. Besides, isn't the old Wu Zhanlang a big hit recently? The investors also proposed to add some content that satirizes the people of Huaguo, so in the end it became a movie like this! "

Facing his friend, Ning Xiaohao didn't know whether he had full trust or wanted to complain extremely, so he told the whole change of the script very simply, which made Guo Fan feel numb.

"These investors will never learn to respect the original work!" Guo Fan finally said helplessly.
