Disaster Artist

What? Ready for a new work? And, not only the idea, but even the script and the storyboard script have been created?

This speed!

Su Zi widened her eyes and couldn't believe her ears. Her first reaction was to look at Ji Xu, only to find that Ji Xu also had some unexpected appearances.

Ji Xu knows that Lu Qian has been thinking about preparing for the second work.

But Ji Xu is not in a hurry, because he knows how troublesome it is to prepare a film project, and it is common for a year and a half; what's more, the exposure brought about by "unfriending" recently has kept Lu Qian busy and unable to calm down. . So he was always patient and waited slowly, but he didn't expect that Lu Qian brought a surprise today.

"I will."

Before Su Ziyi's brain turned around, the words could not wait to jump out of his mouth, unable to restrain his excitement.

"I will, I will, I will."

As he spoke, Su Ziyi jumped up happily, like a child preparing to go to school for the first time, bouncing around to express his joy with his whole body.

Hahahahaha.

Bai Cheng nibbled at the pig's trotters like a melon eater, glanced at Su Zi, and said slowly.

"You look like A Qian finally proposed to you."

Su Ziyi's expression changed suddenly, shouting the name of "Bai Cheng" in his mouth, he rushed up with big strides, and scuffled with Bai Cheng, as a result, Bai Cheng could be heard constantly calling "Pig trotters my trotters trotters". "The voice, wholeheartedly protecting the pig's trotters in his hand, just like protecting the treasures of the world.

Ji Xu ignored the two guys next to him and looked at Lu Qian with great interest.

"The theme has been decided? What route to take?"

"Action movie, how about it?"

After "Unfriending" came out, Lu Qian has been thinking about his next work, which is not an easy task.

For all art creators, they need to face the same problem:

After a work is successful, can the next work surpass the former?

If the style remains the same, people may say that they are not aggressive; if the style is completely turned around, people may say that it is too late; if the style is not up and down, people may turn around and ignore it, and they are not even willing to discuss.

The great brilliance brought by the previous work is a driving force, but it is also a pressure.

Under the pressure, how should I plan my next work, this is the most difficult. It is precisely because of this that the entertainment industry will never lack stories of instant hits and overnight fame, but there are many cases where the successor is weak and fleeting like a shooting star.

The success of "Unfriending" is undoubtedly worth celebrating, but it also makes Lu Qian's thoughts on the next work even more confusing—

It's not that there are no ideas, it's just that there are too many ideas and no choice.

Then, Lu Qian finally found inspiration.

On the day they went to record "Tomson has something to say" and so on, they saw the unexpected fire on the way. The figures of the group of firefighters rushing into the fire kept circling in Lu Qian's mind.

Because it is too far to see clearly, it instead leaves room for the filmmakers to imagine, depicting how they broke into the fire and fought bravely, and then everything became vivid, and along with the pictures, the story also Then it gradually became clear:

"Assault".

Not a firefighter, but a SWAT team story.

This movie released in 2011, from Indonesia, is a very, very special work.

The framework of the whole story is very simple, focusing on a SWAT team member who must follow his teammates to a Longtan Tiger Den deep in the Jakarta slums, where countless notorious villains gather, no law enforcement agency can come close, and now, before dawn Under the cover of darkness and silence, the elite SWAT team was tasked with the arduous task of breaking through the building.

This is all.

The movie is the ultimate in simplicity and rudeness. There is almost no plot. There are many confrontations. From the beginning to the end, from the shootout to the bare hands, it is neat and hearty. The scheduling of the shots and the creation of the atmosphere will fully detonate the adrenaline and reawaken the retro. Great action movie.

In 2014, Keanu-Reeves starred in the movie "Fast Pursuit", which achieved great success and made people feel the love of cold weapon era action movies after a long absence. After the box office blowout, this work From one to three, it became a series of movies.

Objectively speaking, "Fast Pursuit" is good-looking, but in front of "Surprise", it can only be regarded as a baby level.

There are two reasons.

First, the skill of Keanu Reeves.

At the time of the filming of "Fast Pursuit", Keanu was over fifty years old, and he performed all the martial arts by himself, but he had no traditional martial arts skills. In addition to his age, his slow movements had to rely on editing help. In an action movie where meat, knife and knife are deadly, this is very deadly.

"Raid" star Iko-Uwais (Iko-Uwais) was a professional Indonesian traditional martial artist before he became an actor. The entire martial arts design completely follows the characteristics of Southeast Asian martial arts style, fast, accurate and ruthless. All parts can become weapons, and the action design is wonderful.

Moreover, the entire production team of "Raid", UU Reading www. All the main actors of uukanshu.com are professional martial artists.

It is worth mentioning that the two villain actors of "Raid" later played the ultimate villain in "Quick Pursuit 3", which is also a kind of marriage.

Second, the director's scheduling.

The director of "The Raid" is Gareth-Evans, a Welsh native who moved to Indonesia after getting married. Because of the filming of documentaries, he is best at creating visual impact with mise-en-scene and camera editing. Later, he also Filmed "The Apostles" as well as "Gangs of London".

Objectively speaking, the plot of the "raid" can be ignored, but if it is purely a martial arts duel, it would be better to watch a boxing match or a martial arts duel. What really makes the movie come alive is the director's scheduling of the shots and the pictures. The design allows the audience to enter the movie world and feel the thrill of the adrenaline soaring frequently.

In the 1980s, action movies were popular all over the world, and action movies of different styles emerged one after another, but then genre movies slowly entered a dead end. It seems that genre movies are difficult to innovate, and it is difficult to burst into vitality, until the "raid" is renewed. debut.

In 2011, "The Raid" debuted at the Toronto Film Festival, arousing exclamations from the audience. Unfortunately, because the market share of Indonesian films is too small and the global promotion is difficult, it failed to detonate the box office, but the producers still saw the genre films renew. possibility of recovery.

As a result, on the one hand, the adaptation copyright of "Raid" was quickly sold; on the other hand, it also pushed the film company to start preparing for action movies, and "Quick Pursuit" was born in this trend. .

Lu Qian wondered, if he were to shoot the "raid", what kind of effect would it show?
