Chapter 127 Add a Zero
Throughout May, Wang Yang was writing the script and sub-screen script of ”The Ninth District”. In order to design some shots of the third part of ”Human Extinction”, he studied violent aesthetics, but most of the techniques are applicable to The picture during the battle, and the extinction of human nature does not require any beauty. He thinks that what he wants is blood, disgust, and intolerance, which makes people shudder at the sight. (Reading novels)
To this end, he opened his mind and allowed himself to think about the ”devil”; he also consulted the data of torture in many countries around the world, the Nazi Germans of World War II, the Japanese army and other animals, and then he found that humans can really be so sick and extinct And suddenly realized the emotion of ”killing humans”. But in addition to designing the footage of the Wiggs massacre of the human army, he also has to design how humans can brutally study aliens.
When Vigers was about to be decomposed by MNU scientists, he struggled. He took a doctor and tried to escape, but the MNU security guards who came came ignored the doctor's life and death, and he killed as soon as he wanted to. But Vigers grabbed an alien weapon and fired indiscriminately before the security guards gave way. He fled the room, only to find a huge research room outside, the secret place of the MNU headquarters.
In the research room, there are adult aliens, children, and fetal aliens, who are dismembered alive, peeled and enema, and injected with various drugs that cause pain and despair; they are directly crushed by a special meat grinder, just For an experiment to refine DNA ...
These shots are important, not just for nausea, but for a little bit of accumulation of depression and anger in the audience. When the audience followed Wiggs' eyes, they scanned the tragic aliens in the laboratory and listened. Their screams, and the clear and blank eyes of a little alien child stare at each other ... From that moment on, the audience's position will change.
Wang Yang had no idea how he spent this time. His heart was full of depression, irritability, and anger. He often woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and Jessica, who was disturbed, could not sleep. He felt like he was going crazy. . The result of investing almost into himself is that he designed a lot of extinct humanity shots, and Vigers was killing the MNU army crazy.
He wants to have the ”Ninth Zone” with these shots. The MPAA group of people will naturally not give the three ”G” grades, absolutely R grade, and possibly -17 grade. In that case, he will have trouble Too.
During this time, he did not spend all of his time on the script, occasionally going back to the University of South Carolina to listen to lessons, and Jessica to the Staples Center to watch the Lakers game, and also to Santa Monica on the weekend. Play on the beach, otherwise you will really go crazy.
He also hired an art teacher to teach himself a lesson and re-study sketching systematically. His paintings are too ”abstract”. Previously it was no problem to shoot real-life movies; but now it is a science fiction movie. There are a lot of imaginations in this sub-lens script The pictures, many complicated ”big scenes”, all require the set designer and others, and the entire special effects team to clearly compose the picture, and the abstract painting can not be satisfied.
Therefore, many directors have very strong drawing skills, such as James Cameron, Tim Burton, etc. They all have the ability to hold personal exhibitions.
Wang Yang ’s ambitious goal is to hold his own painting exhibition in New York one day in the future, and it ’s not the kind of “beetle = bee” painting. As for the shape of the aliens in the ”Ninth District”, he has provided the blue sky studio with conceptual drawings and requirements, that is, ”cool”, ”ugly”, ”vivid eyes”, ”looks like a human, but a look I knew it was an alien ”, and at the same time he reminded me to combine all the characteristics of beetles and shrimps.
Although Blue Sky Studio is an animation company, the animals of ”Ice Age” are also cute, but it does not mean that their style of painting is the only way. In order to design the 2D image of this alien group, Blue Sky sent more than ten image designers to start the design, and also invited an entomologist to help design a new alien that was “cool and ugly”. people.
Time has entered into June, with the arrival of the summer vacation, the hot summer vacation period has already arrived, ”Mummy 2”, ”Shrek”, ”Pearl Harbor” ... The movie fans in the movie theater laughed and cried The media critics have praised and scolded, and the weekly box office list has also fought fiercely, but these have nothing to do with Wang Yang. The newspaper may not have the word ”Magic Yang” for a long time, but on August 3, ”Singing Youth 3” It will premiere and officially conclude the story of the trilogy.
The afternoon in Los Angeles was very hot. In Beverly Hills, Wang Yang was wearing a white T-shirt with a spaceship design and a pair of jeans. There were not many people on the street. He walked a while and came to a bright coffee. At the store, he asked Robert Downey Jr., who was released on parole two days ago, to meet here.
Entering the coffee shop, Wang Yang saw Donny in a blue shirt sitting over there. He greeted with a smile and said, ”Hey, man.” Donny stood up with a laugh, and spread his hands and walked up And smiled and said: ”Dude” Under the eyes of a customer and a waiter, the two hugged firmly and patted each other's back.
”Man, do you still think you don't wear enough blue clothes?” Wang Yang smiled and looked at Downey up and down. He felt like in a gangster movie in Hong Kong, the ”good brothers” in the two prisons met again after being released from prison. The scene; again like in ”Shoshenk's Salvation”, Tim Robbins saw Morgan Freeman ... Downey glanced at his clothes, shrugged, and said, ”I am warning myself ... but it looks good? ”
Wang Yang nodded and said with a smile: ”Well, it's good to see you outside.” He punched Downey in the shoulder and walked to the coffee table inside. He smiled and said, ”I know some birds ”I can't hold it.” Downey smiled and murmured, ”My record is now 18 months.”
The two came to a quiet coffee table and sat down for a while. Wang Yang drank his coffee and looked at Downey across from him, saying, ”Routine, show your acting skills.” There is an audition for the lead role in ”The Ninth District”. He laughed: ”I have to know that you are not rusty.” Between three imprisonments, Downey also starred in some small-cost independent films or medium-cost supporting roles, but he hasn't acted in nearly two years now.
”Rusty?” Downey pointed at his chest incredulously, and then waved his finger: ”Who am I? I'm Robert Downey Jr., a natural performer. Young director, let's get started.”
Because of the large number of special effects in the ”Ninth District”, its production cycle will inevitably take a long time. After a rough estimate, it is initially scheduled to be released at the end of the summer vacation period in 2002 and may have a chance to be released at the Christmas period. Too. And its pseudo-documentary, a series of viral marketing methods, there is a premise that the content of the story is absolutely confidential. Before the audience walks into the cinema, they will not know that there is ”transformation”, probably only know the story background, that is, aliens advent.
So, before signing the contract, Downey will not see the specific script just in case, but the audition only needs to be performed temporarily, let alone the long-famous ”Oscar Nominee for Best Actor” , Try temperament routinely.
”Now you are going to kill something, they are all life, but you don't care, this is a trivial thing in your eyes, um ...” Wang Yang took another sip of coffee, to Tang who was listening seriously Ni continued: ”It's also a thing to show off. Your friend is holding a camera while filming your” heroic ”behavior, so you look at the camera and show everyone how you killed them.”
Downey nodded, thinking quietly for a while, then suddenly laughed haha, with a teasing expression on his face, performing: ”Take a good shot, you see, these poor little lives, they are today. On my lucky day, I will kill them very tenderly and tenderly to ensure that there is no pain ... ”
