878. Make a cool movie
At this time, Wang Yifan was actually not in a hurry to get the Titanic deal. After all, he had no idea at all.
This kind of movie is really not that easy to shoot.
Moreover, Wang Yifan also knew the other party’s doubts, so the best way is to make a European and American movie to let the audience know themselves.
However, such movies are not enough for the box office alone, and simple popcorn movies are not enough.
So, what kind of movie can make the American audience know themselves?
The answer is, of course, awesome, make a movie that is so amazing.
But there are really not many movies like this.
First, you need to choose a movie with extremely strong personal style, and secondly, you need to be cool enough to lose your temper.
If you shoot a popcorn movie like Marvel, or even ten movies, not many people will recognize you as the director.
As for movies with strong personal style, those kind of movies, generally speaking, the box office may not be comparable to those blockbusters, but such movies are powerful tools to attract fans.
And the key is that this kind of movie with a strong personal style is definitely a powerful tool for improving your personality.
In fact, there are not many such movies available, so Wang Yifan naturally cannot choose a movie with a strong personal style but a box office failure.
You must choose a movie that is tall, stylish, and has a strong personal style.
Then there are not many movies to choose from.
The first thing that appeared in Wang Yifan's mind was the guitar that could spit out.
That’s right, it’s “Mad Max Furious Road”!
In his previous life, "Mad Max" was once an Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller, adapted from the original script of James McCausland, starring Mel Gibson. It was the most popular Australian film that year and held the Guinness record of the most profitable movie for decades, definitely opening up the international market for Australian New Wave movies. The sequel was released in 1981 and the third one was released in 1985. After 30 years, George Miller re-filmed the fourth one.
That movie once left an extremely profound influence on Wang Yifan. It was a violent climax for two hours. It is no exaggeration to say that several scenes have reached an unprecedented super god realm. If you have to say what the style of the film is, you can say it is a road film, apocalypse film, or a non-mainstream. Of course, in addition to the admirable photography, the story rhythm and storyboard control controlled by the director, this movie is also full of steampunk, wasteland aesthetics, doomsday future, feminism, oil-electric hybrid, heavy rock... these elements.
Even if you don’t understand these things, you will think that this movie is so cool!
There is no doubt that this is a film with extremely strong personal style, and to some extent, it is also a type of similar cult that does not quite match his production style.
"Mad Max: The Furious Road" can be said to be an extremely special movie. This movie is definitely not like those regular movies, and it is loved by most people, but this movie will definitely make people scream cool!
If such a cool movie was made by a Chinese director like Wang Yifan, you can imagine how high the fame it would bring to Wang Yifan and how many fans it would gain.
At that time, they would still say, did Wang Yifan not understand their European and American culture?
Even such things can be shot, and for some specific fans, they can definitely worship Wang Yifan as an idol.
This is really no joke.
Let’s take a look at the elements contained in "Mad Max: The Road to Furious". Steampunk. Most people who like this type of style are against the mainstream. Perhaps not too many such people are in China, but in Europe and the United States, there are really not too many such people in countries that claim to be free.
Then there is wasteland aesthetics. Doomsday and the future, feminism, oil-electric hybrid, and heavy rock are integrated into a movie, which will definitely make the person you like watch and spray it out on the spot.
"Mad Max: The Furious Road" actually says that it does not really construct a complete world, it just reveals the tip of the iceberg, but these are actually not the key. The key is that this movie is just one word, cool!
Then let’s talk about the theme of this movie.
To be honest, "The Mad Max: The Road to Furious" in his previous life is indeed a bit cult. If Wang Yifan wants to shoot it, he will definitely need some changes.
For example, while retaining enough coolness, some non-mainstream factors should be minimized. The theme of the film must be mainstream. For example, even the doomsday wasteland world where society and order collapse cannot stop people's desire for freedom.
The world in this film has suffered a nuclear disaster and its environment has been permanently damaged. In this case, what is the most precious resource? In addition to freedom, the unpolluted human life - the existence of the five wives in the film and the fertility they possess are the most precious resource in the doomsday.
So this movie is really fun!
When Wang Yifan was there to recall the various times of "Mad Max: The Furious Road", everyone else was waiting quietly.
However, in the previous life of "Mad Max: The Furious Road", to be honest, the male and female characters were somewhat unbalanced.
The limelight of the male protagonist in the film was completely overwhelmed by the heroine Ferosa. It has to be said that the South African diamond in his previous life and the bald image of the oil touching his forehead is absolutely impressive.
As a result, the whole film, Ferosa, who was originally the second female lead, actually surpassed the male lead.
If anyone who has watched this movie recalls it, it is probably the one you remember, Ferosa, the bald one-armed South African diamond.
Therefore, if you want to make this movie, the choice of the male and female protagonists is actually a big problem.
Although the heroine needs to be outstanding, the hero must not be suppressed too much. Otherwise, although the movie will not have big problems, it will obviously make the film lose its color.
Of course, "Mad Max: The Furious Road" says that such a film can be very popular all over the world, just like saying it can be sold at the box office.
No matter how hard a movie like this is to reliably move towards mainstream commercial movies, it still cannot change the problem of this genre film.
If you want to describe the movie "Mad Max: The Furious Road", it is "dressed up and go racing"!
Yes, the whole video is actually racing, racing, and all kinds of fancy cars!
If you look at it this way, it would be fine if you say it is a road film.
But it is an enhanced version of the road film, "Mad Max: The Furious Road", the theme is the Furious Road, either on the road or on the road!
And there is no end. The more you think about Wang Yifan, the more you feel that this movie is too suitable.
Moreover, he also wanted to have fun and make such a fun movie. Tsk, it would be very exciting to think about it!
Chapter completed!
