Reborn I am the second generation of stars

Chapter 890 Frenzied Emotions

When the outside world sang praises to Xu Qian, Xu Qian invited Ma Long to watch the script he wrote!
Malone is so dumbfounded!

Warner Bros. wants to acquire the copyright of the remake of "Infernal Affairs", but they don't need Xu Qian to write the script for them!

Besides, are the Chinese familiar with Western values?
Are you familiar with how to write a Hollywood script?

Hollywood scripts are generally "three-stage", when to lay the groundwork, when to climax, and when to sensationalize have their own set of procedures!

It can be said that Hollywood movies are basically industrialized!

Therefore, Warner plans to write the script by itself after purchasing the remake copyright of "Infernal Affairs", and there is no need for Xu Qian to write the script for them!
But still the same sentence, after all, the original creator of "Infernal Affairs" is Xu Qian, and Ma Long is not good at giving Xu Qian face!

Besides, he also got to know Xu Qian carefully before he came here, and found that he is a very awesome person, he often surprises and creates miracles!
"Maybe he can create a miracle this time?"

Although Malone thinks this is unlikely!
"But what if?"

Xu Qian handed the script to Ma Long!

Malone watch carefully!

The script that Xu Qian handed to Ma Long was exactly the script of "The Departed Walker" that he had prepared long ago!

In Another World "The Departed" is a police action film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures in 2005. The film is directed by Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon starring.

The film is a remake of the classic Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs". It tells the process of the Boston gang organization and the police training each other to install undercover agents in each other's interior, and the process of fighting each other; it is the story of both the police and the gang deciding to launch a cleansing operation. .

The film won 79 awards at the 4th Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Film.

Plot:

In South Boston, Frank Castro, the gang leader in his heyday, dominates.

The wily man decided to train Colin, who was only 14 years old, to pave the way for his future.At the same time, Billy, a boy born in the neighborhood, hopes to get rid of the life of poverty and crime through his own efforts.

Time flies, both Colin and Billy have grown up, and both were admitted to the police academy and became police officers of the State Police Department.

The shrewd, capable and ambitious Colin was quickly promoted to the superintendent of the "special investigation team" after he succeeded in annihilating the gangsters. He has his own power in the police station, but he still obeys Castro's orders. Billy, who grew up on the street and has a somewhat violent personality, wanted to be a good policeman, but was assigned the task of secretly infiltrating the gang organization and became Castro's right-hand man.

Castro's mafia criminal group is getting stronger day by day, and the police decided to start secret preparations to eradicate it.The confrontation is becoming more and more tense, and the failure of a series of cat-and-mouse operations has also made the police and the sensitive Costello aware that there are spies inside. The undercover also started to embark on the road of Infernal Affairs!

There is still a big difference between the American version of "Infernal Affairs" and the Chinese version of "Infernal Affairs"!
Both movies tell the story of two undercover agents lurking against each other and dealing with each other.

The Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" has a calm and reserved style, and pays attention to the patchwork of rhythm. The scenes such as the rooftop, elevator, and underground garage, as well as the actor's meaningful dialogue, cast a veil of mystery on the film.

In terms of expressing the theme, the director dug deeper, conveying compassionate humanitarian thoughts at all times. At the beginning of the film, the director used the sentence in the Buddhist scriptures that "the body will never die, and longevity is the catastrophe in the endless hell". The struggle and helplessness in the struggle, at the same time hints at the tragic fate of the two protagonists who cannot be redeemed, conveys the director's pessimistic fatalism, and also sets a mysterious and serious tone for the film. After watching the film, we can't help but think: good guys and bad guys What kind of boundaries exist?It can trigger the audience to think deeply, which is the success of this film.

On the other hand, "The Infernal Affairs", although it is based on the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", it does not have the introvertedness of the Hong Kong version.

In terms of style, it is partial to realism, there is no so-called "mystery", all violent scenes are displayed in front of your eyes, unlike "Infernal Affairs" which deliberately hides the bloody shooting scenes, it emphasizes the visual The impact and realism of the picture.

If you want to use two items to compare "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs" respectively, "Infernal Affairs" is a piece of exquisite jade carved with care, and "Infernal Affairs" is a natural stone without modification.

"Infernal Affairs" reveals the director's intentions everywhere. The film adopts a non-linear and multi-narrative structure, which perfectly interweaves the fate of the two undercover agents.

In the several confrontations between Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, the director cleverly used cross montage to show the nervous psychology of the two undercover agents respectively, and also gave the narrative process a clear context.In addition, the director uses various moving shots to control the rhythm of the film just right.For example: when Sir Huang sacrificed himself and fell from the building, the director used a panning camera to show the focus of the vision of the surrounding characters, allowing the audience to feel their shock.The director also used psychological montage to show the past of Chen Yongren and Huang sir, and used the sound-picture counterpoint to combine gunshots and background music to create a heavy and sad atmosphere for the film. The emotional ups and downs of the characters at this time were also captured. maximize.

"Infernal Affairs" weakens the violent scenes and focuses on expressing the psychological activities of the characters. Through the portrayal of the characters' psychology, the plot tension of the film is greatly enhanced.On the contrary, "The Departed Walker" shows the audience nakedly violent scenes and foul-mouthed dialogues, without the slightest scruples, and a large number of "tricks" make the audience feel frightened and hearty.

The reason why there is such a surprise between the two is because of the cultural differences between my country and the United States!

China is an ancient country with 5000 years of culture, and it has come to the present with labels such as introverted, reserved, and polite.

"Infernal Affairs" is a Chinese film. Its literary art and deep meaning, as well as the strong Buddhist Zen principles in the film, are all influenced by the cultural background of China.

"The Departed" came into our eyes with the standard American label. It is decisive and capable. The cramped alleys, bustling streets, and rude dialogues all show the fashion color of the United States. Due to the different cultural backgrounds of the two countries, Two films of different styles.

I appreciate "Infernal Affairs" more than "The Departed".Its tortuous plot, compact and powerful rhythm, the smooth interpretation of the actors, and the touch of Buddhist Zen throughout the film are all amazing!
Martin Scorsese's remake also allows us to see another possibility of film cultural exchange.I hope that more Chinese films will go out in the future and let the whole world understand and appreciate them.

Xu Qian prefers "Infernal Affairs" because he is a Chinese!

And Malone is an American!

In the eyes of us Chinese, "The Departed Walker" is simple, rough, not restrained enough, and lacks drama!

But in Ma Long's view, these are all advantages!

He was completely attracted by the script of "The Departed Walker". When reading the script, he danced and danced from time to time, with a changeable expression!
"Wonderful!"

"fantastic!"

"It's so amazing!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

Ma Long patted his thigh from time to time, he was completely immersed in the script of "The Departed Walker"!

It took him a long time to finish the script of "The Departed Walker". He felt that his whole body was full of energy, as if he had taken a great tonic. This is the effect of a good script, which can give people great enjoyment!

At this time, Xu Qian was drinking tea in a leisurely manner. He was still very confident in the script of "The Departed Walker"!
The moment he looked up, he happened to meet Ma Long's eyes, and Ma Long's eyes were full of fanaticism!
