Chapter 458: That's right!


Chapter 458 is right!
If there is a well, a group of happy frogs live underneath, and a frog on the well thinks that their life is too poor, and tries their best to pull them up to the beautiful world it thinks, this is a kind of salvation, or Self-righteous?
This is a question that Wang Yang has been thinking about for a long time. All kinds of ideas and various forms have started from "Firefly" to "I am Legend" and will continue. Neville is the frog. , And the group of frogs in the well used to live in the well.
The infected people in the original novel "I am Legend" (1954) have no change in appearance and IQ, but have symptoms like vampires. This is a group of "new humans". The virus immunizer Neville is studying vaccines to cure the virus. Fear and hatred make him continue to destroy the vampires' attempts to rebuild society at the same time, thus becoming the most hated person of the new humanity.
One day, he caught a woman "Ruth" who thought he was not infected, but got along and found that she was suspicious. Ruth finally reluctantly agreed to let him take a blood sample for testing, but he stunned him, and he also realized By the way, she is an infected vampire. When Neville woke up, he found a note, she said that the infected person was slowly overcoming their illness, they could already stay in the sun for a short time, and hated him very much, she warned Neville, she People will come over to catch him, he should leave his house and escape.
However, Neville ignored her warning, he was captured, and then he saw Ruth again. Ruth tells him that she is a senior officer in the new society, but unlike others, she does not hate her, she admits that this is her planned capture operation. Neville felt badly injured. He accepted his fate and just asked Ruth not to make that new society cruel and ruthless. Ruth kissed him and his hair.
While being executed, looking at all the vampires, suddenly, Neville understood these new human beings. They have their own morals and pursuits. They have their own new world. They do n’t need to be healed or rescued by anyone. He is just a survivor of the old man! When he was dying, he said: "I am a new legend, I am a legend."
Yes, Neville will probably be the evil character of the mythology of the new civilization, such as Satan. This is a redemption and anti-redemption. This is a discussion of the struggle of human nature and the concept of racial civilization. Any racial civilization is no higher than anyone. Life will find a way out by itself. This is the original meaning of "I am Legend".
In The Last Man on Earth (1964), there are weak and stupid vampires, as well as new variants of blood-sucking humans, and the "dog" appeared. It is a stray dog. When it first met, Morgan failed to catch it After a while, it was infected with the virus when it appeared again, and soon died, Morgan buried it.
Morgan (Neville) fell in love with Ruth at first sight, convinced her to go home with him, and cured her immediately with the vaccine, he saw hope! But at this time, Ruth's people appeared, they killed the vampires gathered around Morgan's house, then found and caught up with the fleeing Morgan, the two gangs exchanged fire, and Morgan lost. Although Ruth begged his companions to let him survive, he was still nailed to the altar with a spear by them. Before dying, Morgan called them
Freaks
and declared him the last real person on earth. People!
This first edition has already misinterpreted "I Am Legend". The ending of the story is meaningless except to show loyalty to the human audience.
Richard Matheson, the original author who co-wrote the script at that time, was very dissatisfied, but in order to keep receiving the subsequent dividend income from the movie, he still used the name of the vest "Logan Vence". Combination of his first name and his mother ’s last name. Mathison said: "I am disappointed, even if they follow my story more or less, but this is a superficial and barren direction, I just don't like it."
"I'm looking forward to it." Mathison, who is now 80, said this before in an interview with the New York Times, because the adaptation rights used to belong to WB and now belong to FF. He has no right to ask how to adapt. But for Wang Yang's remake, the old man showed great expectations and optimism: "Maybe before I die, I can see a real" I am a Legend ", a real Neville."
"The Last Man on Earth" has its story, but its significance is more important than the creation of the zombie genre (the vampire and the zombie in the film are almost the same), and the content of the film, the box office, etc. are not the objects of its praise.
In "The Last Man" (1971), hundreds of albinism mutation survivors in Los Angeles formed an organization "The-ly". The family believes that science has caused this tragedy, so all signs of science should be eliminated, they do not use Guns and other high-tech products, even imitating medieval dresses, are at most flashlights and slingshot cars; "the last remnants of ancient culture" Neville and family relations are hostile.
One day, the family captured Neville in a wine cellar. After trial, the family convicted him as a guilty demon and sentenced him to fire in the center of the stadium.
But another group of survivors Lisa (the woman he saw before on patrol) and Dez (a former medical student familiar with Neville ’s work) saved him, and Neville wanted to use his own plasma if he was immune The manufacture of serum may cure these people (previously he only searched for food and clothing during the day and killed family members). If the serum is effective, they are ready to leave Los Angeles and avoid the family to start a new life together in the wild.
Lisa's brother Rich was successfully cured. Because of sympathy with the family, Rich took the serum and tried to persuade them to receive treatment. The leader Matthias refused to believe and killed Rich. After Neville arrived, it was a big battle. When the gun was blocked, he was stabbed by a spear thrown by Matthias and was fatally injured!
At the same time, under the leadership of Detz, several survivors drove a Land Rover off-road vehicle to escape from Los Angeles. They found a dying Neville by a fountain. He handed the serum bottle representing the hope of recovering humanity. After Dez, he died shortly after, and the survivors embarked on an unknown journey.
In 1971, Neville was "I am a legend" because he developed a serum that restores humanity and sacrifices life to bring hope to humanity. He is a heroic legend, not a demon. Still far from the original intent of the novel, it is no wonder that Matheson believes that he has not seen the real "I am Legend".
However, the legend has not won much praise and box office for it, its performance is worse than "The Last Man on Earth". However, it has a shining point, that is, the appearance of Neville's leisure "shopping", "puppet model" and other elements, Tim Burton once said: "If I am alone on a desert island, I may choose Things, I might be talking to myself, like "The Last Man", I don't know why it is one of my favorite movies, but it is. "
The theme of the original WB version of "I am a Legend" continues to be the hero of the big reel to save humanity, and it also absorbs some of the praise elements of the first two scripts. The stray dog ​​becomes Sam. The first half of the story focuses on Neville ’s loneliness and life through daily life. In the doomsday atmosphere, he eventually died at the cost of his life and the infected people who broke through the last line of defense, protecting Anna's mother and son from leaving. His serum became the hope of redeeming mankind, and his fighting deeds became legends (the finale of the release version).
On the other hand, there have been two huge changes in this version. The infected people have become powerful, low-witted, predatory, violent, and ugly Darkseekers. Only the boss has good intelligence, just like Now the predator of "Firefly"; and it has no new human organization, but there is a legendary survivor camp, "Ruth" with Rich became Anna mother and son, they brought hope, also put "hope" Successfully brought to the survivor camp.
It can be said that the three versions and novels are on different tracks, because of business, because of political correctness, because of goodness and hope.
"T-ME, Ke Ke is." Wang Yang did not know whether Matheson could see "the real" I am a Legend "", he would not make Neville a stubborn person, nor a man who saved humanity. The hero is now in 2006, but he is one of the most box-office directors today. Will Smith is one of the most box-office superstars. Is he still crippling like he was a few decades ago? What a joke!
But he will not let a female character like "Ruth" appear, there is no room for negotiation, no! The appearance of a woman will completely destroy those loneliness, depression, and despair. Sam's death will become meaningless immediately, and she will destroy everything!
When the moon is empty, the night is getting darker and deeper. In the bright study room, Wang Yang shook his head, and those words and images were suddenly swept away. Do n’t worry about the three versions of
I am Legend
, do n’t go What did he want in the original novel?
I want Neville to die as the last human! I want him to be the legendary demon! Wang Yang has thought about it for a long time, a lot, in fact, what he wants most is loneliness, a world of wasteland!
He knows why the mediocre "The Last Man" is one of Tim Burton's favorite movies because he had a similar idea because it portrayed Neville's loneliness and some wasteland worlds. Looks, and his goal for this shooting is to go all out in these two aspects! Therefore, "Ruth" must not appear. After Sam's death, he pushed Neville's loneliness and the loneliness of the world to the extreme, and he was the only one.
Most people who do n’t like it will be dull and boring, smashing rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs; people who like it will be wholeheartedly involved, moved by tangled boos, and then included it in one of their favorite movies, "I am Legend" is destined to be one CULT film.
He wants to create the atmosphere, appearance, and details of the Doomsday world, and portray the loneliness of the hope that is still in the world (the family is dead). The better the better! He wants to show a world of wasteland in a perfect way, so that the audience in front of the big screen can truly feel the smell of waste and substitute it into Neville to be in that world, and then they will have some thinking and What I felt was because the gloom, shock, shock, feeling, and thinking that I brought at that time were all open.
If this is a horror movie, then the most terrifying thing is not zombies, not darkness or danger, but loneliness.
"Huh!" Wang Yang slowly closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to feel the uncomfortable loneliness. This is what he wanted and wanted to give to the audience!
In the darkness, there seemed to be a little light in front. A moth flapped its wings non-stop and tried to fly over ... Standing to the light, it found that there was still darkness around it. The era of light passed, when people Are you used to sleeping during the day and activities at night? Is there any difference? Darkness is light, and light is darkness. Humans are just "evolving" from nocturnal animals to nocturnal animals. Maybe they will still call themselves nocturnal. The meaning of me becomes no sun, ght becomes Is there any difference when the sun comes out?
Does the moth want to burn the entire world and bring the world back to light, regardless of the tragedy of wives and death; or put out that little flame and let the world fall into darkness and tranquility? Who is redeeming who?
Or has it forgotten that it is actually a member of the nocturnal animal, but it just looks "abnormal". When it realizes that its will, strength, and faith are just the stumbling blocks of the new civilization's hatred, it is the loneliness that permeates the soul.
Aziva-Gossman admires "The Last Man", so although the rewritten script of "I am Legend" introduces some elements of Mark Protosevich, the main frame of the story is full of "The Last Man" Shadow, when the forty-page outline of the movie scene was handed over to Wang Yang, he has undergone major transformations in many aspects, and the modification of the lines is expected to run through the entire shooting period. Performance; secondly, he wants to judge and decide what scene should be silent when shooting, without saying a word, and then use sound effects to meet the needs of hearing.
Will Smith's impromptu performance will affect Neville's shaping, affecting him as a lonely "Will Smith" or others, but Neville does not have any outgoing personality characteristics, Wang Yang knows to let the big screen Full of "Smith Charm" is not a bad thing, the audience loves Fresh Prince.
But the work of the script is not without waves, and of course it has not been upgraded to the level of William Joyce in "Robot Adventures". Although Wang Yang is the boss and the magical BABY, Gaussman is also the best adaptation script award of Aurangska. The winner, even if he can't get the right to speak, can leave happily without worrying about not leaving home.
Compared to the place where the story takes place, the greater disagreement between the two is precisely the theme of the film. Both of Gaussman ’s two
I am Legend
endings are beautiful, and Neville survived a more Hollywood ending, with will, strongness, faith, redemption. Others and self-redemption ... Wang Yang ’s direction is a big injustice, and he is worthy of the
famous name
against the dark and magical Yang of mankind. What happened to being close to the original novel? So depressed, so sad, can the audience bear it? "District 9" has some hope "after three years", this time ...
Not to mention the audience, the film critics will not necessarily support, humanity is extinct! Which science fiction horror movie, to be precise, will the post-apocalyptic film have such a situation? Humans are extinct!
The winner of the post-apocalyptic era film history box office ranking is 88.24 million / 264 million box office "Future Water World" (175 million production costs, 1995), Kevin Costner ’s eternal nightmare; then 5900 The production costs of "Dawn of the Living Dead" of 10,000 / 102 million and "28 Days of Surprise" of 45 million / 27.27 million are only 26 million and 8 million, respectively, and they all make a lot of money. The problem is cruelty like George- A-Romero, "The Dawn of the Living Dead" did not make it clear at the end whether the protagonists were dead, leaving a hint of hope and aftertaste.
And "I am a Legend" with a production cost of 200 million yuan at any time ... Wang Yangzhi said that there is no need to consider it for business. Who else stipulates that it is not a commercial film if it is not a savior? anyone there? Gaussman was not a purely commercial screenwriter, so this big problem was finally solved, Wang Yangsheng! However, Gaussman revealed that the theme was a magical idea by revealing tidbits in an interview with the media. At the same time, the script has changed beyond recognition.
Compared to the theme, the cause of the virus outbreak is obviously very irrelevant. Anyway, Wang Yang cannot use the "Last Man" in the early 1970s thinking "China and the Soviet Union fought a biological weapon war" as funny as it was to treat cancer. "K-rus" (K-rus, KV for short) is good.
KV was originally developed as a genetically modified virus for the treatment of cancer. After conducting human clinical trials for a period of time, it began to produce unexpected side effects similar to rabies, and it caused uncontrollable large-scale infections. In addition to causing the death of 90% of the world's population, it also made about 9% of the population into dark hunters.
Except for the common points of madness, violence, day and night, and fear of light, in the novel, vampires are fast, and their movement and climbing abilities are very strong, but they are still in the human category; "The Last Man on Earth" is weak Stupid vampires and new human beings; "The Last Man" is a mad "family"; to the WB version of "I am Legend", it is the violent and ugly dark hunter.
The setting of the image and ability of these infected people is very critical, and the importance is self-evident. It affects the entire movie, whether it is necessary to use technology, and affects the cost budget and post-production cycle.
In fact, the WB version has harvested a mixed fruit, which cannot be called very popular. The reason for the great controversy is that on the one hand, due to the poor level of special effects, the dark hunters do not have much realism; Set, "I am Legend" is never a zombie zombie, it is similar to a vampire! Are infected people ugly and stupid? Do you need special effects?
As for the concept behind those mutations, soaring adrenaline causes humans to become stronger and uglier, and they breathe too fast and hyperventilate, so the screams and howling sounds are somewhat like humans, but not standard ... and so on Except for movie fans and CULT fans, not many people will care.
In the previous vacation time, Wang Yang also considered a lot for this, and finally decided to adopt this setting! The dark hunter almost beyond the scope of humans can bring a stronger sense of oppression. The barbarous image without wisdom also deepens Neville ’s loneliness. This is a good change, provided that the special effects are produced well, and he has nothing to do with it. worry. But he wants to be more clear in the film. The dark hunter can evolve and evolves every day. When the story happens, it is the moment that the boss is about to break through an important stage ...
"Haha, Jan!"
Just when Wang Yang was immersed in the whole lonely world with his eyes closed, he went further and further in the dark, and further and further ... suddenly a clear laughter interrupted his thoughts, making him tremble, and the whole person jumped in shock. He naturally widened his eyes, was n’t there any other Jessica? With a playful, narrow smile on her face, she scared him even more when she saw success, and she laughed even more suddenly: "Hit you! Haha!" Wang Yang shrugged not yet fully recovered, Jessica looked at the desk Empty glass, looking at other drawing paper and other things, while stopping the laughter, said softly: "You just fell asleep? Watch out for the cold, go to sleep? It's not early."
"No, I'm just thinking about something." Wang Yang rubbed his tired eyes, and Jessica knew he had just come out of the world of "I am Legend" ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The mood will definitely drop for a while, so Disapproving of his indifference, he found that his eyes were a little wet, and he couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking? Why are you crying?" Wang Yang suddenly laughed and shook her head in response to her beautiful eyes full of care and love. Tao: "So, let's not let a woman appear! Absolutely not! Absolutely! It really killed me!"
Jessica blinked suspiciously: "What do you mean?" Wang Yang stood up, stretched his hands high, and smiled: "Nothing, women are the best antidote to loneliness, how is Ke Ke?"
"Sleep." Jessica smiled rather proudly, and since they made up their minds to give Ke Ke a lesson, the little guy now has less temper tantrums, but sleeps more soundly. Wang Yang nodded, while packing up computers, documents, etc., and asked with interest: "Ask you a question." Jessica looked at him: "Say!" Wang Yang told her "I It is the ending of "Legend" and asked: "How would you feel if you watched it?"
"Well, I guess ..." Jessica rolled her eyes and said, "Sad, depressed, unthinkable, crazy, and want to hit you ..." Listening to these comments, Wang Yang laughed: "That That ’s right, that ’s right! "
Looking at the back of him laughing out, Jessica followed up humorously, jumped a few steps and punched him, really bad
