986. Individualism or Teamwork
He Jun did work hard and brought in so many case information.
Not to mention, they are really suitable for adapting movies!
However, when He Jun took out the last information, Wang Yifan smiled.
Wang Yifan told He Jun earlier that the evacuation incident is very suitable for adaptation.
He Jun actually had a decision long ago, and the others were just for filling in the numbers. Although they were all quite suitable, who was He Jun?
What he is good at is never this kind of drama film, but gunfight films and police and gangster films!
"Director He, hasn't this already made a decision?" Wang Yifan said with some amusement.
He Jun said with no embarrassment: "Nothing can be hidden from Director Wang, but I analyzed the incident of evacuation of overseas Chinese in the car. To be honest, it is very difficult to take pictures!"
Wang Yifan asked: "What? Is there anything difficult? Didn't Huaying and Jindun both say that they could support me?"
He Jun shook his head and said, "Director Wang, you said it in a general way before, but what I am a little confused now is what angle should I tell this story from!"
"What are your thoughts?" Wang Yifan asked.
"I have two ideas. One is the Hollywood model, which starts from a personal perspective. For example, during the evacuation incident, arrange a retired soldier's lover or relative, and then tell the story from the perspective of a retired soldier. But this turns into personal heroism."
"The other angle is from the perspective of a team, such as our Marine Corps, but in this way, it becomes a group show, but I don't know if the audience can accept the group show." He Jun said with a wry smile.
Wang Yifan couldn't help but feel happy.
Isn’t He Jun’s previous thoughts very similar to “Wolf Warrior 2”?
And the latter one is "Operation Red Sea"?
However, it is indeed as He Jun is worried. The former, to be honest, is indeed a bit of a personal heroism. Wang Yifan understands He Jun's concerns, after all, he is going to make a main theme movie.
If the evacuation incident is used as the background, then if you shoot from a personal heroism perspective and tell the story, it will certainly look more refreshing, but it seems that it has nothing to do with the evacuation incident.
As for the latter, such as "Operation Red Sea", it is no wonder that He Jun is worried about it.
In fact, group movies are much harder to shoot than single protagonist movies.
Most movies are divided into the main characters of the male and female protagonists. Why?
Because this way, the audience can avoid being divided too much attention by other characters, making the audience feel more immersive when watching.
For group dramas, the experience in this aspect is definitely much worse!
Chen Hang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but frown because he was also thinking about this issue.
Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Whether personal heroism or teamwork, the key is the theme! The evacuation incident can be said to be another kind of offensive to our Chinese, and even if it is far away, it will be punished!"
"Although we are adapting from the evacuation incident, the movie itself is not a reality, so it is impossible to really shoot it in a complete manner according to the evacuation incident. Our movies need to be storytelling!" Wang Yifan continued.
"The evacuation incident is the premise and the background! So if it is personal heroism, why don't you let the protagonist become a dispatcher in the face of danger?"
He Jun's eyes lit up and said, "You mean..."
"Emm, retired soldiers are also soldiers. If you have a brave person, then you should give him a more past identity, such as a special forces soldier?"
"I think it can be designed like this. For example, a special force soldier in our army left the army for some special reasons. As you said just now, it could be because his lover or relative, had an accident overseas and he went to investigate. But at this time, a riot happened to occur in the local area. Because it was in the territory of other countries, our attitude was to never interfere with the internal affairs of other countries. Therefore, the army could not enter the territory of other countries. However, because time was tight, there was no time for a domestic factory in the enemy-occupied area, and researchers could not withdraw, and our army could not really send many people to evacuate overseas Chinese. So at this time, our protagonist had a place to use his skills and became the target of being appointed in the face of danger. Because he no longer belonged to the Chinese army, but he had that skill, so it became natural to send him to rescue those people temporarily."
"But in this case, it's still a bit too personal heroic, right?" This time it was Chen Hang's question on the side.
He Jun also had this question.
In fact, domestic main theme movies do not mean that there is no personal heroism, but it is a bit outrageous for a movie, one person to hit a group of people.
Since it is an adaptation of a real event, it must not be so outrageous, there are really endless bullets or something like that.
"Then let's find him a temporary team." Wang Yifan came directly according to "Wolf Warrior 2"!
"Look for a temporary team?" He Jun was a little confused.
"Yes, our domestic companies are opening factories overseas, especially in turbulent areas, and it is impossible for them to have no security measures, right? So, we can completely let our protagonist bring the armed personnel from this factory to fight the enemy together!"
He Jun nodded and said, "Yes, this can be done! Actually, I have learned that when opening factories in China overseas, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America, most of them have certain defense and self-protection powers, which is in line with reality!"
"What about the villain? Are the rebels? This seems... not very good, right? It is not very realistic, right?" He Jun asked again.
Wang Yifan nodded, he understood what He Jun meant.
Although China is not as tough as the United States at present, it is definitely a superpower.
Therefore, although China does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs, neither the government forces nor the rebels of the local country will easily attack the Chinese people, because they cannot be worried about offending our China!
Therefore, it is a bit unsatisfactory to use the rebels as the villain!
And if the rebels are really used as villains, I am afraid that the review will not be able to pass, because some things are indeed untouchable.
But if you hire a mercenary, then there is no problem.
After all, whether it is the rebels or the government forces, they all represent the country, but mercenaries are different. They are all people without borders! Therefore, it is perfect for treating them as villains.
"The rebels are not good, so what about the mercenaries? For example, is there a researcher in our factory holding the research results needed by other opponents?"
"So can you tell me that mercenaries took advantage of the chaos to collude with the rebels and then hired mercenaries to raid this factory?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.
He Jun said excitedly: "This is OK, of course! But there is another point, will our real evacuation warships make us too unpresent?"
