Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shen Zhenghui asked Ning Huan to adapt the script of "Hurricane Rescue" into a localized story in Hong Kong. He also said the same to Mr. Xiang and Jack Cheng.  Because he basically had no intention of tailoring the script for Jack.  In his previous life, he had read countless online novels. There was an idea in one online novel, which was to use Schwarzenegger to star in the Hollywood version of "Taken" and Jack Cheng to star in the Chinese version of "Taken". Shen Zhenghui directly copied this idea.  But he assigned the task to Ning Huan.  But for Ning Huan, it seems that the task of direct plagiarism and transformation has become some kind of insult to his talent.  Of course, he himself is also listed in the list of screenwriters of "Taken". If you copy yourself, you don't actually copy it. The same is true for large-scale repeated production in the Internet literary world. Regardless of the level of professionalism, in essence, it is not copied.  It's the same thing.  But Ning Huan made a mistake. He didn't want to simply plagiarize the script of "The Rescue", nor did he want to simply Chineseize the story.  Speaking of Chinese-style scripts, whether it's "Six Crimes", "Young Man Bao Qingtian", or Liu Tianwang's "I Know Women's Hearts", these films make me feel chilled after watching them.  Fundamentally speaking, the Chinese are not incapable of creativity, nor are they lacking in creative writers, but the entire mechanism simply does not reward innovative writers.  After all, the contradiction in the entire society is fundamentally the contradiction between backward productivity and growing material and cultural needs, so it is necessary to lower the quality. Regardless of the quality, the last priority is to increase the output. After all, the audience and readers are not that high.  level of appreciation.  Ning Huan this time was just suffering from pain in his balls. If he had worked in this industry for two more years, he probably wouldn't be so resistant to copying and plagiarism. He would even feel impatient to do it with his own hands, so he changed hands and took this  Outsourcing work is also possible.  If Shen Zhenghui hadn't suddenly had a special experience with movies, he might have lost interest in creation.  At least now he no longer writes his own scripts. The scripts for his first few works were all typed out word by word by himself, although he just hired a Japanese screenwriter to make them Japanese.  For this work that Shen Zhenghui made with Jack Chenghe, he thought more about the scenes and effects. The plot only needs to be up to standard, because in essence.  That's enough for an action movie.  But Ning Huan gave him a surprise.  To be honest, "New Police Story" that Jack Cheng is preparing is to some extent a story of pain in the ass, pretentiousness, and self-abuse. Because of excessive use of force, it seems particularly fake.  The aging Jack is trying to be a foil, but when he begins to admit his weakness and powerlessness, his own charm takes a sharp turn.  Ning Huan obviously referred to this movie, but he gave another way of expressing it.  Heroes don't need others to save them. Although they are down and out, it's because the rhythm of their lives is different from what they are used to.  They are at a loss to realize what to do, but when the challenges they are accustomed to come, they are brave enough and ready to meet the challenges.  Ning Huan wrote such a script. He grew up watching Jack Cheng's movies. Like Shen Zhenghui, he scorned the movies Jack Cheng made when he got older.  This action star's old age represents the tragedy of all action star old age.  Therefore, this script at least looks like a lot of effort was put into its production.  The origin of the story is exactly the same as "Hurricane Rescue". Jack Cheng is a senior Hong Kong policeman.  Because he failed in a hostage rescue incident, he had to take the blame for his boss.  Retire in dishonour.  After retirement, he lived in embarrassment and relied on the help of friends to live on the rooftop. His wife remarried a wealthy businessman. Because he was away from home for a long time on a mission, his relationship with his daughter was not close.  The beginning is exactly the same as "Taken".  But the story behind it is much more localized.  Her daughter is at a rebellious age. Her good friend likes to interact with teenagers like A Fei and encourages her to travel to Southeast Asia during the summer vacation.  It turns out that the boyfriend of Jack's daughter's friend is a member of a human trafficking criminal organization in Hong Kong. This criminal organization specializes in trafficking young women from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia to various underworlds.  Then, they landed in the Philippines.  After being kidnapped by the local underworld, Jack Cheng had to travel from Hong Kong to the Philippines to rescue his daughter in a short period of time.  The synopsis of the story is exactly the same as "Taken", but Ning Huan's efforts in the script were to make the whole story appear to be not copied from the European setting of "Taken".  From the criminal methods of Hong Kong crime syndicates to the operating methods of Philippine gangs.  Jack Cheng's encounter with a wall in the Philippines, etc. If you read these details, you will find that even though the outline is the same, this and "Hurricane Rescue" are completely different stories.  The most ridiculous thing is that Ning Huan hacked the Philippines after the script. After Jack Cheng rescued his daughter, he himself fell into trouble.He had to entrust a tour group to take his daughter back, and he himself had to avoid being wanted by the Philippine government.  As a result, the tour group was hijacked by a fired Philippine policeman on the last day of the trip. The Philippine police then staged a scene of incompetence. Jack Cheng finally had to stand up and rescue his daughter from the bus, and then he was killed on the spot.  He was arrested, and finally the Chinese Embassy came forward to arrest him.  Unlike "The Rescue", which darkened the security environment, gangs, and law enforcers in France, Ning Huan's script darkened the entire country of the Philippines. Gangsters are more powerful than the police and the government.  In this script, he also slandered Hong Kong, and the sense of mocking Hong Kong was clearly revealed under the eyes of future generations of Shen Zhenghui.  The power of the central government appears as follows at the beginning, and then echoes it at the end. Speaking of which, Ning Huan is simply a red screenwriter with a well-established background!  In the script, Ning Huan¡¯s arrangements for Jack Cheng are no longer funny kung fu like juggling, nor are they life-threatening movements, but simple with a certain crazy emotion.  For this reason, he specially arranged a clip at the beginning of the movie of an exchange between the Hong Kong police and the mainland armed police. The Hong Kong police were dumbfounded by the simple and crude handling methods of the mainland armed police. That kind of behavior of using mortars to clear the ground made the Hong Kong Flying Tigers  Looks like a loser.  It is here that the tone is set for the entire film's action scenes. He goes on without fear of death, regardless of the grace of the movements. Jack Cheng is already in his fifties.  This performance is also consistent with his physical strength.  After Shen Zhenghui read the script, he went through the entire movie scene in his mind. It seemed to be a sequelae of the last time. Now it is very easy for him to generate movie images in his mind, as if there are countless templates for him to refer to directly.  Every scene is so lifelike, after shooting the entire movie in your mind.  Shen Zhenghui himself also felt that Jack Cheng's identity as a father made his performance in the movie very reasonable.  In comparison, "New Police Story" is too rough. How is his age determined?  He had an old-fashioned look on his face and almost collapsed at first because of the gameplay. The setting was too deliberate and the acting was a bit perfunctory, as if it was all about Daniel Wu's face to win the box office.  According to the scene that Shen Zhenghui conceived according to Ning Huan's suggestion and with reference to the action design of "Hurricane Rescue", Shen Zhenghui was suddenly full of confidence in the entire movie.  In terms of ditching the juggling act.  This should be a transformation for Jack Cheng, allowing him to find another way out besides playing.  Ning Huan playfully named the script "New Police Story". This name made Jack Cheng and Yang Shoucheng both surprised and dumbfounded when they saw it. However, after Jack Cheng carefully read the entire script, he seemed to  Somewhat touching.  Since this movie deliberately avoids fist and kick action scenes, and even if there is any, it tries to be as concise and lively as possible. This seems to have unintentionally offended Jack Cheng, because he thinks that fist and kick action is his signature.  Although he felt in his heart that the structure and rhythm of the entire story were very good, he still couldn't help but make his own request.  ¡°There seems to be a little lack of action scenes here,¡± he said tactfully.  This is because Shen Zhenghui is young and vigorous, and has just achieved box office success in Hollywood. Compared with his usual style, he is already quite polite.  "There are too many gunfight scenes. Isn't this style wrong?" Mr. Xiang and Mr. Yang on the side did not speak. The focus of these two people was not here.  They are looking at the characters in the script and wondering which of their actors can match them.  "With all due respect, brother." Shen Zhenghui said. Of course, when he said these words, both Xiang Sheng and Yang Shoucheng pricked up their ears with slightly worried expressions, fearing that the young director's blunt words would anger Jack Cheng.  "The audience is already too familiar with your previous action style." Shen Zhenghui thought for a while and said, "I won't talk about others, just me. I almost grew up watching your movies, but in my impression, I am very fond of you.  The deepest impression is still in old movies, such as jumping from such a high building in "Who Am I". Do you think it is possible to repeat the grand scenes and bravery of the past? " The big brother's face immediately wiped his face, he really did.  He doesn't like people saying he is old, even if it is an insinuation.  "So we must have new ideas in action design," Shen Zhenghui continued, completely ignoring Jack Cheng's face, "Before the release of "The Matrix", no one thought that action movies could be shot in this way. Mainland director Zhang's "Hero"  ¡·Although the plot is very ordinary, the action is quite creative. In our opinion, it will not work if it repeats what the audience is already familiar with. There must be something new. If it is shot in a single style, the whole film will be different.  The box office is not good either. Our film is distributed around the world this time, so it must be interesting to audiences all over the world. " "Isn't this a repeat of "The Rescue"?Is it qualified?  "Jack Cheng asked rhetorically. "This style is very marketable," Shen Zhenghui replied, "Lian Senim is an agent, so he uses an agent's way to deal with problems. Ordinary people will feel that although they don't understand it very well, they seem to understand it.  Very powerful.  Brother, if you play a policeman in this movie, you should handle the problem in a policeman's style. Policemen generally don't even have a pistol and think they can kill all the bad guys with their bare hands. This is so unreal.  " "The police want to uphold justice, not kill people indiscriminately.  "Jack Cheng defended, "Besides, in this script, is it really okay for this country, let's say the Philippines, to make their police so incompetent and so bad?  Generally, I should design a good policeman from their country to help me, for example, a female character. Otherwise, what will happen if it is released at the box office in their country?  " "We can blur this country," Shen Zhenghui said, "but your idea is not feasible," Shen Zhenghui said, "You can also see it, this is the framework of "Hurricane Rescue".  Then we must follow this framework. To be honest, we have put a lot of effort into the setting of the entire story. The Philippines," he paused, "is really that bad.  "You will have a real experience in six or seven years. There is no need for Shen Zhenghui to say this. The eldest brother gradually entered another state. He put forward many opinions on the script, and these opinions were not meant to show his  Correct, and probably to show his identity and voice. His aura as a superstar for many years made him subconsciously try to seize control of this project. Many top actors, such as Zhou Xingxing, have this tendency.  I have a strong desire to control the movie, so he eventually became a director. Each of his works has his own unique style, but in Shen Zhenghui's view, this style has reached the point of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"  It finally came to an abrupt end. Because he himself did not star in this movie, and the style of Wen, who is very good at showing off, does not match the nonsensical comedy. Of course, this is just Shen Zhenghui¡¯s personal opinion. Jack Cheng¡¯s action designer.  Jack Cheng has his own right to speak. In this film, Shen Zhenghui put forward his own requirements for the action design, which made Jack Cheng feel that he was offended. Although after calming down, he felt that what Shen Zhenghui said was right, but for a moment, the elder brother  He couldn't bear this shame, so in the end, even Yang Shoucheng realized that there was an element of anger in the elder brother's suggestion. Yang Shoucheng took advantage of Shen Zhenghui to be in a good mood and patiently answered Jack Cheng's question.  Interjecting, "Mr. Shen," he said, "We need to take this script back and study it. Why not discuss it the next time we meet.  "As he spoke, he gave Jack Cheng a wink. Jack Cheng immediately said calmly. "Yes, I also have a lot of ideas about this script. I have to go back and sort it out, and we will have a good discussion next time.  "Mr. Xiang sat there. With a slightly sarcastic smile, he glanced at Shen Zhenghui. Shen Zhenghui's expression was calm, but Mr. Xiang still noticed that Shen Zhenghui might still be a little impatient. So Mr. Xiang said, "If Jack feels that he will appear in the role,  If this role is difficult, we can replace it with someone else!  His words sounded like a joke, "I think Wu Zhenyu and Yin Tianzhao are both good. Of course, their international appeal is far inferior to Jack. We still hope to cooperate with Jack."  " After saying these words, Jack Cheng's face became a little stiff. He looked directly at Shen Zhenghui, "Mr. Shen, what do you think?  " "Of course, working with my eldest brother is my first choice.  "Shen Zhenghui replied, but his expression clearly said that if it really doesn't work, substitution is not unacceptable. The elder brother was a little angry, but Yang Shoucheng on the side pulled his sleeve, "Such a big business should be given some time to think about.  No, Jack must be asked to read the script a few more times!  "He smoothed things over. "Director Shen is also very pressed for time!  "Mr. Xiang said, "How will Mr. Shen's schedule be arranged?  " "I have to go back to Japan first," Shen Zhenghui said. "There is still some time. Of course, the sooner this is confirmed, the better. It takes a lot of time to set up the crew and select actors.  He continued, "There are still several projects in Hong Kong, and I hope this matter will be finalized as soon as possible."  " "Okay," Yang Shoucheng replied, "We will reply to you as soon as possible.  "He nodded. In the car leaving, the elder brother was still a little aggrieved, "How old is this Director Shen?  "He complained dissatisfiedly, "He was not born when I made the movie, and now he even dictates the action design." His tone lowered, "If this movie is really shot, he is not going to ride on me.  On the head.  " "Okay, Jack.  " Yang Shoucheng persuaded, "People have good grades and are confident.  Such as??If you don't want to star in it, do you think there is any actor in Hong Kong who wouldn't beg to star in his movie?  Xiang Jia said those words with bad intentions. He was the one who begged you to act before, and now he said those words on purpose. What do you think he wanted to do?  " "Which actor in Hong Kong can have my box office appeal?  "The eldest brother said confidently, "Finding someone else to win the box office will definitely not work.  "The cost can still be earned," Yang Shoucheng said, "just make less. After all, Japan is his big box office, and the box office of many of his movies has exceeded tens of billions of yen."  " This made the elder brother a little speechless, "Then who will he look for?  " "Jack, you can't think like this," Yang Shoucheng said, "This project will definitely make money. The Xiang family wants to squeeze us out at this time because they want to monopolize the investment quota. Even if you don't star, you can't give up the investment quota.  " The eldest brother is not that thick-skinned. He is still a little worried, "What if he stops filming?  " "So you have to hold back," he said. "After all, not everyone can make a movie with a box office of 400 million US dollars. You are not young anymore, and you have to think about the next generation.  Yang Shoucheng said with some seriousness, "This Shen Zhenghui obviously has a long career life. He may be a powerful figure in Hollywood in the future. He is also a top figure in China. Why should you have trouble with him?"  If you cooperate with him well, if you talk about it, others will only say that you support the younger generation. You also need to accumulate some connections for Xiaofang!  " These words really spoke to Jack's heart. He pondered for a long time, then took the script and said, "Send me home first. I'll discuss it with my wife.  " On the other side, Mr. Xiang was explaining, "If I squeeze Jack Cheng like this, he will definitely give in."  After saying that, he was a little anxious, "When can we start filming?"  Do you have any plans to cast Mr. Shen in the movie?  " Of course there is a plan. Ning Huan provided a reference list of actors when writing the script. Of course, if the two people are not very familiar with each other, the screenwriter's behavior is completely out of bounds. So Shen Zhenghui responded with a smile, "Morning  Just thought about it.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
