Chapter 739： Realistic version of Infernal Affairs
Just in October, another remarkable thing happened in Hollywood. Martin Scorsese launched the latest masterpiece "The Infinite Walker", once again charged with Oscar.
After buying the copyright of the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" in the hands of Ryan, Martin Sr. pulled investment from the plan b film company jointly established by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and gathered Leonardo Decca. The luxurious cast of Prio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg have returned to the gangster themes they are best at after a year and a half.
As one of the four major directors in the 1980s, Martin Scorsese had enough face. On the premiere day, not only did the stars gather, but also George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Francisco Cole. All three of Paula were present.
Ryan also accepted the invitation. After he walked into the theater, he discovered that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, as producers and investors, seemed to have resolved their knots after going through the property division and divorce procedures. , Appeared under the lens of the media at the same time.
If you count Angelina Jolie, who is holding Pete, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who accompanied the godfather Spielberg, the three girlfriends before and after Brad Pitt are all here.
This is a very normal thing in Hollywood and even in North American society. Ryan has lived here for so many years and has long known that he cannot look at the interpersonal relationships in Western society the way he viewed "Infinite Walker" in his previous life.
"Hi, Ryan."
"Gwyneth, you have become more beautiful."
Gwyneth Paltrow hugged gently with Gwyneth Paltrow, who proactively stretched out her hand, and Ryan casually praised.
"Oh, is it?" Gwyneth looked very happy and asked, "Where's Nicole? Didn't she come together?"
"I went to another place, and I went to talk about copyright with an author."
Gwyneth couldn't help complaining when she heard Ryan's words. "I really want to talk to her about fashion and baby-care topics."
She lowered her voice, "I took Epple to see her sister a few days ago, and the two little guys fell in love with each other."
"Wait for Sonny to be older." Ryan nodded slightly to Matt Damon who was passing by, and continued, "They can play together."
"It looks like..." Gwyneth seemed to be thinking seriously, "I should move back to Los Angeles from New York."
Her eyes moved behind Ryan, "Godfather."
Spielberg and George Lucas walked over, Ryan turned around and shook hands with them one by one, "George. Stephen, it's been a long time."
"Yeah, it's been a long time." Spielberg said with a smile, "Ryan, we came here to help an old friend."
"Yes." George Lucas put his glasses down. "I heard you wrote a new script for Na? It won't be released this year, right?"
"Nate is not Stephen." Ryan can roughly guess what they want to say. After all, he is the most alienated from Martin Scorsese of the four major directors. "That movie won't start shooting until early next year."
"That's good." Spielberg spread his hand to Ryan. "In this way, there will be no conflicts. I believe we will have the same goals this year and next year."
They are all senior people in Hollywood, some words needless to say are too clear, Ryan nodded. "I'm Martin's fan."
"Are you really a fan of Martin?"
Just after Spielberg, George Lucas, and Gwyneth Paltrow left at the same time, another familiar voice rang from the side.
Ryan turned his head to look. The woman opposite was slender, with a very contoured face. The eagle's nose, black eyes, and full lips are protruding and full, and the corners of his mouth are upturned when he laughs, revealing his white teeth. This female director in her thirties still looks like a girl.
"This is not the tone that a talented female director should use."
Regarding Sophia Coppola, Ryan is not so polite, "You are a woman admired by all feminists."
"The highest-grossing female director of a single film in history?" Sophia Coppola walked directly to Ryan, "What is the truth, you know better than me. It is not so much that I made "The Hunger Games". "The Hunger Games" fulfilled me."
"So..." Ryan opened his hands to each other, "I'm waiting for "Xinghuo Liaoyuan" to create better box office results."
He walked toward the theater first, "Let’s get started, let’s go in."
"Ryan..." Sophia Coppola followed from behind. "I've seen the manuscript of the third novel. I heard that Disney Pictures wants to make two of them?"
"I have this idea." Ryan turned his head and glanced at Sophia. "The details are still being discussed. Don't tell me you want to release the Disney pigeons."
"You marked such a large amount of liquidated damages on the director's agreement." Sophia Coppola took Ryan's arm and walked to the seat with him, "I can't afford to pay."
After Ryan sat down, she walked a row forward and sat beside her father Francisco Coppola.
After seeing Sophia Coppola, Ryan turned his gaze back. This is also a man whose fate was severely affected by him. The Hunger Games finally earned US$785.6 million from the global box office, which also made Sophia. ? Coppola film history, the highest grossing record female director of a single film.
It is conceivable that with such achievements in a directorship that is almost completely dominated by men, what kind of heights those feminists will hold her to.
"George..."
Sitting next to Ryan was George Lucas. He turned his head and said, "I heard that you are going to co-produce "Indiana Jones" the fourth part with Stephen?"
"Your information is very well-informed." George Lucas nodded, "It is in preparation, and it is expected to start next year."
"I always thought you were really going to retire?" Ryan said casually.
"I won't direct any more films." George Lucas laughed, "I have retired from the position of director."
"It's a pity..." Ryan seemed very sorry, "The only four directors are Martin and Stephen who are still launching works."
The director is like an actor, the replacement of the old and the new is a natural law, but Martin Scorsese is old and strong, this "Infinite Walker" is undoubtedly a good example.
If it were placed in the previous life, Ryan would definitely say that something made in "Infernal Walker" completely destroyed the artistic conception of the Hong Kong version, but now he will not look at it like that anymore. Essentially, the old Martin's film is only aimed at the North American market. , It was not filmed for audiences in the Far East at all.
The Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" is a crime genre full of romantic feelings. It can be described as a typical Hong Kong movie. However, "Infernal Affairs" is not a simple remake of "Infernal Affairs". It is more about the human nature in the story. Just inspired.
In addition to relying on the same story clues, the script created by William Monaghan is also very different from the Hong Kong version. It is not the intricate relationship between the characters that really touches people here, but the strongest and most invincible of human nature. one side.
To put it bluntly, the Hong Kong version carefully rendered a "cool" Infernal Affairs, while Mei is less sensational, deep and pretending to be cool, creating a more "real" Infernal Affairs.
The most typical scene in the middle of the two films, when the police boss is thrown down from the upper floor, the Hong Kong version uses a variety of techniques and the soundtrack to render, while the US version is simple, crude, and direct. The protagonist reads it out of his mouth. There is only one word——! ! ...
Sr. Martin is a director deeply rooted in North America. He understands what gangster movies the North American audience likes and how to cater to the tastes of the audience and even the Oscars. This is not a typical Hollywood commercial film aimed at overseas markets. From the point of view, it is even somewhat similar to "The Hunger Games".
Therefore, this remake will be very miserable after it is released in the Far East, and the film will never be able to escape the influence of the social and cultural environment.
It's like the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", which was introduced to North America by Hollywood last year. This classic film that was even considered a rescue in the Far East, only got 160,000 US dollars in the box office in North America...
Just a group of Chinese actors can be said to be a taboo for the success of the film in North America.
Sometimes, ideals are full, but reality is extremely cruel. Ryan knows very well that foreign films want to enter North America, especially if they want to be successful at the box office, and the difficulty is even more difficult than what he said to the group of students when he was in China.
Many oriental expressions like the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" are absolutely unacceptable to North American audiences.
For example, here is the sentence, Ximen blowing snow is not snow, but blood.
This sentence is enough for Chinese audiences, even a single line can make people associate the picture, and even the audience can immediately imagine such a scene in their minds-ancient town, small shop, sunset, a sword dripping with blood, A person in white clothes stood motionless, and the hem of his clothes fluttered slightly under the blow of the wind-Sword God, how could it be a cool word.
But in North America? There is no market for this typical Eastern method, so it needs to be changed to the "Infinite Walker" style-staring at the enemy and saying ‘! ’
To reduce sensationalism or deep pretense, just to show the true performance of people in fierce conflict as much as possible. This can be regarded as one of the biggest differences between the US version and the Hong Kong version. In fact, think about the plot at the end of the film. The two undercover agents meet on the rooftop. A person is extremely angry and a person is highly nervous. What will a normal person behave in this situation?
I am afraid that the situation in the US version is closer to reality, with a big hit, and at the same time, scolding...
If two people have to express artistic lines in a very calm manner-I'm sorry I am a policeman-it is obvious that romantic pretends are too cool in North American films, and even the most cool film The Matrix would not adopt this kind of plot. .
This kind of bridge segment that can be regarded as killing the box office in North America, if it is placed in the East, the treatment will be different. No one can deny that the performance of the Hong Kong version is very cool and beautiful.
(I still think that the Hong Kong version is more beautiful, but the Hong Kong version is really not suitable for North America. Its North American box office is more than 169,000 US dollars...) (to be continued...) ()
