Chapter 42 Can Write
Li Mu asked the taxi to stop at a supermarket not far from the community, and then went to buy ingredients such as fat beef, green vegetables, meatballs, duck blood, etc. He was going to cook hot pot alone tonight.

And he also specially bought a piece of tofu, and when the time comes to eat fat beef in a hot pot, he will hold the white and tender tofu in his hand and cut it into pieces with a knife, then put it in the boiling hot pot, and finally he can sing while eating It's a ditty: After eating pickled vegetables and tofu, the emperor's old son is not as good as me.

Li Mu bought three houses in Beijing some time ago, two off-plan houses and one second-hand.Now he will live in this second-hand house when he comes to Beijing for business trips.The former owner and his wife went abroad with their children and brought all the furniture and appliances. Li Mu bought a few bedding and pillows and moved in.

After dinner, Li Mu sat in front of the computer and began to think hard: "The King of Kung Fu" he can't write, and he can't change it. It's too difficult, and he asks for trouble.

But besides "The King of Kung Fu", what else can he copy?
No more, really no more, Li Mu thought for a long time, and finally had to come to the following conclusion - there is no movie in this world that can meet such harsh conditions!
He has searched the movie library in his mind, but he wants to find a movie that satisfies the two protagonists at the same time. does not exist.

This is not a question of whether it is difficult or not at all, but simply impossible.

There is no such movie in the whole world—since there is no way to copy it, it can only be changed by magic. The question is, who is changed by magic?
You can't change "Kung Fu Panda" by magic, right? !
Absolutely not!

How about "Captain America"?
Or "Iron Man"?
Or just copy "The Avengers"?
None!

The top American blockbusters in the next 20 years are basically comics, what can Li Mu do?
Since there are too many restrictive conditions, you can only find a way to meet them one by one.

The two protagonists, both good guys, with equal roles, global hits, and peak duels——Li Mu decided to find the movie with the most options that met the above five conditions, and then make magical changes to the plots that did not meet the conditions.

"Wanted"!
Li Mu suddenly thought of this action movie starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, who played Professor X in "X-Men" in his youth.

In fact, "League of Assassins" is also a manga adaptation, but this manga is very small, and few people know about it, and the manga has a serious self-promotional nature. The most important thing is that the manga plot has long been changed by the movie He doesn't even know his own mother.

Li Mu felt that if he changed the movie by magic, he would not overturn it.

In detail, the "League of Assassins" comic is an anti-superhero work.

In the setting of the comics, superheroes representing black and white love and kill each other with great joy.

Then, after a decisive battle that determined the survival of good and evil, the super criminal gang completely defeated the superheroes, and the victorious super criminal gang used black technology to erase the memory of the people of the world about this period of history.

Since then, the existence of good and evil superheroes has become an absolute secret that only the ruling class, that is, the top villains know.

In the comic world of "League of Assassins": Justice is dead, only evil is eternal!

The main line of this comic is the story of how the protagonist Wesley transitions from an ordinary person to a super villain, and finally reaches the pinnacle of life.

In the comics, the defeated superhero has a terrible end. The superhero who resembles Superman has suffered from Alzheimer's after the defeat. Just kidding.

The protagonist Wesley started out as useless as the beginning of the movie, and then his father's lover, the fox, suddenly appeared and killed passers-by all over the street indiscriminately, leaving only the protagonist alone.

Only then does the protagonist know the truth about the world—a world ruled by supervillains, and that his Papa Killer was vendetta-killed not long ago by his enemies during his indulgence.

So in the future, will the protagonist choose to continue to live a wimpy life, or train himself to be a super villain?
Of course the protagonist chose the latter!
In order to exercise his ability to perform on the spot, the protagonist Wesley even shoots and kills ordinary passers-by at random in the crowd. By continuously killing people who have nothing to do with him on a large scale and killing innocent people indiscriminately, he makes his marksmanship more and more perfect.

Wesley soon became a unparalleled deadly killer, and he began to kill for the professor.

The professor gives Wesley an interesting job shortly after; in a newfound alternate universe where the time is still stuck in the 80s, villains have yet to conquer the world and heroes are still alive and well.

Under the command of the professor, Wesley, Fox and other fraternity villains began to aggressively invade the parallel world in order to obtain the spoils they needed.

Can you believe that this comic actually went to a parallel world?
Wesley killed Superman first and then Batman, turning this parallel world upside down.At this time, he was completely intoxicated by the thrill of fighting and killing and couldn't extricate himself.

In the end, Wesley still killed his father who he thought was already dead. It wasn't until then that he learned that all of this was his father's conspiracy.

The protagonist's father felt that his physical condition was getting worse and worse, so he ordered his lover Fox to train his son to be a super villain killer. He hoped that he could die at the hands of his own son, not at the hands of the enemy. He died in embarrassment under the gun.

In the end, the protagonist Wesley resolutely pulled the trigger on his biological father after learning the whole truth.

The movie is already a magical change, and Li Mu will do it again, and the plot has basically nothing to do with the original comic.

The two protagonists are both good guys, with equal parts, a global hit, and a peak duel—out of these five conditions, the "Assassins" movie meets at least three.

They're both good guys - the main character father and son in the movie are decent characters for sure.

A global hit - "League of Assassins" has a global box office of 3.4 million US dollars, ranking around 15th in the global box office that year, which is already a very high figure.

Peak duel - the protagonist father and son have fought against each other several times, and both of them have the ability to turn bullets, and they can even hit bullets. It is definitely a peak duel.

There are also two unsatisfactory places: one is that it does not meet the conditions of equivalent roles, and the other is that it does not meet the settings of the two protagonists.

The protagonist of this film must be the son.

But Li Mu believes that these two items are not impossible to amend.

In the original movie, the protagonist and the killer have a father-son relationship, which is obviously not suitable for the identities of the two protagonists Cheng Long and Li Lianlian, so Li Mu decided to change the setting to two brothers.

As an older brother, Cheng Long has been carefully guarding his younger brother Li Lianlian's life as an ordinary person, until he found the names of members of the killer organization appearing on the loom.

Then there is the issue of roles. In this way, Li Lianlian will definitely have more roles than Cheng Long, but there is also a way to solve this, just add a story line about his brother Cheng Long.

The background of the story should still be placed abroad, while retaining the setting of the Loom Teaching in the movie. The Loom Teaching originated in England more than 1000 years ago, and Li Mu has no problem writing it into it.

This is the case with script writing. When you have no ideas, you may not be able to write a word for half a month, but once you determine the general idea, the rest of the matter will become very simple again.
