260 Wolf Warrior 2(1/2)
Chen Fei and his group arrived at their destination soon.
This time, they were filmed in the territory of a tribe in Africa.
Although it is a tribe, it is not very primitive and backward.
The tribes here may be slightly different from those elsewhere.
Tribes have always played an important role in the political and social relations of Country X, and have persisted due to their inheritance and inheritance of nomadic customs, caravan interactions, and social unity that bonds tribe members.
Since its independence in 1951, although the x country has become an independent country in form, it has never formed a single nation-state.
Before independence, Country X was a settlement of multiple tribes. The independence of its country was not a natural development of the nation, but the result of the imposition of external forces. Therefore, the people of the country X had a relatively weak sense of national identity, but the sense of tribal identity was deeply rooted.
Externally, they regard themselves as "Arabs" or "Africans"; internally, they regard themselves as members of their tribe. The title "x Chinese" is more of a recognition from the outside world.
Tribal issues are an important national condition of country X.
In the period of peaceful development of the country, tribal ownership and control, politics, influence economic development, and are even more important social relations.
During the war, tribal relations were not only an important reason for the outbreak of the war, but also had a multi-faceted impact on the war process. They could change the situation and influence the direction of the war, and also had a significant and far-reaching impact on the country's post-war reconstruction and development.
In short, the influence of tribal factors is always shown in the development process of Country X. It can be said that the tribal system is a major political and social structure of Country X. Tribes are a basic social unit of Country X. It exists before the state, deeply rooted in the country's social, military, economic and cultural environment, and influences the development and evolution of the country.
The tribe Chen Fei visited this time, named Bedo, is a very famous tribe in the local area. The place where Chen Fei and his friends settled is located in the center of this tribe, which is actually equivalent to a slightly better small county town in China.
However, the leader of the tribe was very enthusiastic and welcomed Chen Fei and his party very much. The son of the leader of the tribe went out to greet him in person, and a grand welcome ceremony was held for them.
The leader of the tribe seemed to have gone out to visit, so only his son came out to receive Chen Fei and the others.
The leader's son is Kaza, who is about thirty years old. He is a mixed race, a mixed race between black and white people, so his skin is not that dark, and he is not much different from the black descendants in the United States.
"Hi Chen, from now on, you will treat this as your home. Just tell him what you need!"
Kaza pointed to a man who looked like a housekeeper behind him.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Kaza." Chen Fei was very polite.
This tribe was contacted by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Because relevant departments came forward, the other party attached great importance to them and was willing to give them a lot of convenience.
This tribe is not only enthusiastic, but also friendly to Chinese people, and is deeply loved by Chen Fei.
Hearing Chen Fei's thanks, Kaza said excitedly: "Chen, you are so polite. You shouldn't be so polite. You are my most respected star. I like you very much. It is our honor to come to us to film!
After hearing Kaza's words, Chen Fei was stunned.
This guy is also his own fan?
Seeing that Chen Fei didn't believe it, Kaza quickly grabbed Chen Fei's hand excitedly and said, "Chen, come with me!"
He took Chen Fei to a place.
It was his room similar to a study room.
The room was covered with various movie posters, three of which were "Top Gun", five of which were "The First Blood", and one of which was "Wolf Warrior". There was also a small projector on the desk, and the wall was the screen. The projector was connected to the laptop. The movie "The First Blood" was still playing on the laptop, but the pause button was pressed.
"Did you see it? Chen, do you see how much I admire you?" Kaza said excitedly.
Chen Fei was secretly happy.
When he goes out, he is afraid of being unfamiliar with the place, inconvenient and nothing is easy to do. But now, Kaza is his fan, and he still looks very loyal. If he puts a little more effort into a brainless fan, he can completely transform the other party into a crazy fan. In that case, no matter what he does or needs in the future, it will be much easier.
So he immediately smiled and said excitedly: "Kaza, thank you, thank you for letting me see my fans in such a faraway place. I am really excited and moved. I will remember you in the future, the distant Africa, the beautiful Beddo, there is a movie fan who likes me, his name is Kaza!"
Because of this relationship, it is easier to arrange the subsequent things.
While no one was paying attention, Zhang Jiang quietly came to Chen Fei and said with a frown: "Brother Fei, are you going to come to your door if you have something good?"
"Good thing? What good thing?" Chen Fei was a little puzzled.
Zhang Jiang looked around and then said sarcastically: "I just saw Kaza a beautiful woman who arranged a bed warm for you!"
"Ah?" Chen Fei was so scared that he shivered.
He saw the beauty here just now, and he couldn't appreciate it. In this regard, he is still quite traditional. He still likes fair skin, beautiful and long legs, and is an oriental girl. If the taste is heavy one, it is blond and blue-eyed. As for black pearls, at most, mixed-race Americans can try it, but if they are native to Africa, sorry, he can't speak!
Seeing that Chen Fei was so scared, Zhang Jiang smiled and whispered: "Brother Fei, please don't worry, I saw that it was not too dark, they were all mixed-race children. According to the aesthetics of our Chinese, it is still OK."
"Go and help me push it!" Chen Fei hurriedly said to Zhang Jiang.
"Pushed?" Zhang Jiang widened his eyes.
"Um!"
"Brother Fei, you really don't want it?"
"No!" Chen Fei shook his head firmly.
"If you don't want it, then let it go?" he muttered, looking very painful.
"If you like it, ask him to arrange one for you!"
Zhang Jiang finally shook his head: "Forget it, I will not embarrass the people of the motherland."
Chen Fei turned his head and looked at him.
He smiled, scratched his head, and said self-deprecatingly: "Our small body... take medicine, can't stand it, don't take medicine... I'm afraid of embarrassing the people of the motherland, so I'd better forget it!"
Chen Fei was amused and crying.
Zhang Jiang walked out happily.
Chen Fei let out a sigh, adjusted his emotions, then sat down on the chair, took out the computer, and prepared to modify the script of "Wolf Warrior 2".
He has actually written the script of "Wolf Warrior 2", but compared with the original work, he has made modifications in many places, but because the time is too hasty, how well the modification is, whether it is reasonable, he still needs to consider and polish it again.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has achieved great success, but there are also many problems and has been criticized by many people.
The biggest problem is the form of patriotism.
Political factors have always been a standard issue in film. Politics and film are closely related. If you talk about it, you can even trace many film genres, such as Italian neorealism, French Left Bank films, etc.
In short, the main theme is a must-have for a country. When filming movies with main themes, the subtlety lies in the sense of identity and the audience will shrink. Simply put, the main theme is basically what people have watched after filming.
The main theme itself is not a problem, the question is whether this type of theme can be used as advanced.
For example, "Hacksaw Ridge" is also a heroic theme and a main theme, but the difference is that it is the main theme of the United States. In a narrow sense, it is filmed for Americans.
But why we can agree with it, even Japanese people think it is good to watch it, is that the movie plays the main theme very advanced.
In "Hacksaw Ridge", the focus of the movie is not on the confrontation of nationalism, but on a devout Christian who is determined not to be a gun or kill, but he saves his comrades on the verge of death like a hero. This fearless and self-sacrificing attitude directly captures the hearts of most people in the world.
Later, the protagonist bandaged a Japanese soldier's wound in the cave, which directly sublimated to no political stance, only asking for help from death and helping the wounded. Don't underestimate this scene. This small action directly made the film reach the hearts of every person on earth.
This is an important symbol of the innovation and development of Hollywood's film and television industry: If movies cannot be separated from politics, then good movies are only placed in the upper and lower dimensions, and political factors are placed in the left and right dimensions. Although they are in the same space, try not to intersect.
Therefore, although "Hacksaw Ridge" is also a real American theme, it has won the whole world.
But "Wolf Warrior 2"...
If you have watched it by a foreigner or an African friend, will you be happy?
I'm afraid this will be a big question mark!
In this regard, "Wolf Warrior 2" was unsuccessful.
In addition, "Wolf Warrior 2" has other problems.
First of all, the flat characterization, especially the villain, which is as bad as the villain in "Mekong".
Since the story is set in the real world, the villain's IQ should be online, but the villain's actions in the film make people feel that the villain's IQ is seriously disconnected.
For example, as a mercenary, he killed the master who hired him, which was completely inconsistent with the logic of reality.
What is a mercenary?
Mercenaries only regard money and do things, and maximizing interest relations is their ultimate goal. The mercenary leader in the film kills his master and breaks his capital chain, and even causes trouble.
A country's military and political alternation is generally the case of an anti-sectarian army pushing over the government, building a new government, and then seeking approval from the United Nations. This is the normal sign-in process. May I ask, a foreign mercenary leader killed his supplier (the leader of the villain army), and then?
Then, regardless of domestic and foreign political pressure, the mercenaries continue to oppose the male protagonist and continue to hunt down the protagonist. This is the worst-case scenario. To put it bluntly, this is no longer the character's motivation to promote the development of the story, but for the sake of the plot.
This is the biggest flaw in the characters and script of this movie. For the sake of plot needs, many characters' motivations occur due to plot needs.
There is also the problem of the protagonist cheating.
In the film, a battle that begins shortly after the protagonist, Wu Jing uses a spring bed frame to block the rocket grenade... Then Zhang Han learns to drive the tank in seconds...
Such a hanging is too exaggerated.
There is definitely no problem with cheating. The characters in the movie must cheat, but the problem is still the rationality and authenticity of cheating.
In addition, there are some places that can be improved. For example, the protagonist has a story in the first part, but the second part cannot flash two shots and thinks that he will explain the story of the first part clearly. He must show the events experienced by the characters in the first part and the changes in the situation in the second part through a series of line dialogues. It is best to show the few words and few words.
For example, Wu Jing had a small house at the pier, which contained many photos and souvenirs from all over the world, as well as weapons he made himself (laying the groundwork for the back). Then someone visited and almost dropped this one, smashed that one, played with the weapon and almost shot the black son to death. Then the man asked: Did you marry a black woman? Wu said no, this is an adopted son. Then he led out how his girlfriend disappeared...
Also, why do we have to create a scene where doctors aiding Africans find virus antibodies and are looking for by all parties? Can’t we just use the evacuation incident?
In this way, Wu Jing asked the American American female doctor and student in the future: "Have your motherland saved you?", which would be more reasonable.
In short, there are many details that Chen Fei needs to improve.
He was thinking about it and suddenly there was a huge noise outside, "Come on—Come on—Come on—Come on—”
Listening to the sound, it seemed that the crew members were encouraging someone.
To be continued...
