Chapter 879: The Cultural Perspective of "Mission and Choice"

Lu Zhiyao was very speechless.
The script of "Mission and Choice" was originally given in sections. Director Zhu Xiaoce famously said that Lu Zhiyao "work out the plot of each paragraph well, and don't affect the current performance by knowing the ending in advance."
Director Zhu Xiaoce's goal was achieved.
When Lu Zhiyao performed each plot, he really brought himself into the role of Captain Qin Yi. He didn't know what would happen in the future, so the acting was closer to the true state of Qin Yi in the play.
But this also brought about a problem, that is, Lu Zhiyao was cut to death.
Every time I give the script, I only give a short paragraph, but the development of the plot is particularly tortuous. Every time Lu Zhiyao wants to know the next plot, I am embarrassed and cut off.
Now it's hard to get the script for the end of the movie, but I never expected it to be broken, and there is still no plot behind it!
This made Lu Zhiyao very broken and desperate.
Of course, he also understood in his heart that just judging from the current content, the whole story is in fact complete, with all the inheritance and transformation, and the content of a movie is more than enough.
It is estimated that even the director Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce did not think about the following plot. They simply left such a tail to leave suspense for the next series.
But even if Lu Zhiyao knows this truth very well, it is inevitable that he still has to curse a few words of "out of context dog".
After calming down his emotions, Lu Zhiyao began to re-examine the last plot.
Previously, his acting skills had been tested in all directions without dead ends, and he thought he was already battle-tested and fearless.
But after seeing the last script, Lu Zhiyao realized that the real difficulty was at the end!
The final ending still has many reversals. Qin Yi's emotions were first desperate to collapse, and then he found a ray of life in despair, and then he boosted the morale of all soldiers through impassioned speeches, and successfully let mankind see victory. Dawn.
If the script ends here, then this is a standard popcorn movie, a very orthodox end.
But when Qin Yi was about to see the dawn of victory, the plot took a sharp turn.
After being in a coma, Qin Yi found that he had the worm's nest consciousness. The worm's nest consciousness made him think from the standpoint of the Zerg naturally, and had empathy for the Zerg. Qin Yi realized that it was human beings who first started the attack on the Zerg. Strictly speaking, the Zerg was the invaded party.
After waking up, Qin Yi issued a ceasefire order to all the soldiers, so that the already fierce war between humans and the Zerg came to an end.
If the script ends here, and humans and Zergs shake hands and build a beautiful universe together, it is a standard Western politically correct ending.
But Qin Yi didn't want to shake hands with the Zerg to make peace. Instead, while deceiving the Zerg, he found the location of the Zerg queen and all the minor queens through the worm's nest consciousness, and continued to execute the beheading operation.
Qin Yi deceived the Zerg for the sake of mankind, but he himself was also deceived and abandoned. In the end, because all Zerg queens and sub-queen queens were completely annihilated, Qin Yi became the head of all Zergs by mistake. The behemoth of Weitan carries the floating to the endless universe.
In this episode of the plot, Qin Yi's mood still changes drastically.
There is inspiring blood, there is surprise to learn the truth, there is cold blood to deceive the Zerg, and there is rage of being betrayed...
Especially in the last shot, when Qin Yi wakes up in the incubator in the Leviathan beast, there will be a close-up close-up. Lu Zhiyao must show Qin Yi's complex emotions with a single look.
Obviously, for Lu Zhiyao, the difficulty of performing this story is a level higher than the previous script!
And as Lu Zhiyao knew from the beginning, the reason why Qin Yi's role was tested and difficult to perform was because his role was set as an iron-blooded soldier.
Qin Yi has no emotions in most cases, and even if he does, he is very reserved and restrained.
But in this script, Qin Yi's fate is too tortuous, always facing extreme despair or extreme pain, which makes it difficult for Lu Zhiyao to find a balance.
With a little harder, Qin Yi’s character set is easy to collapse. A predator jumps like thunder or has a nervous breakdown, which is not in line with the character set; and if the strength is insufficient, the audience will feel that Lu Zhiyao has no acting skills and cannot express emotions. In place.
In comparison, young roles are better to play, because the emotions of this type of role are often very simple, joy is joy, anger is anger, not that complicated, and the degree is very relaxed.
On the contrary, it was Captain Qin Yi who had a strong will, and it was the most difficult for him to perform his emotions.
Lu Zhiyao sighed slightly, it seemed that some of them were busy again during the next period of time.
He will continue to stay in the hotel room, try to figure out the plot in the mirror, adjust his acting skills and expressions, and present the last plot perfectly.
But before that, Lu Zhiyao took all the scripts so far, read it from beginning to end, and analyzed the story from his own perspective.
The deepest impression left by this story on Lu Zhiyao is its "cultural perspective."
As an actor, Lu Zhiyao, of course, has seen many movies, and he has seen movies of various countries and various themes.
The story of "Mission and Choice", if it is disassembled separately and a small plot, is actually nothing special compared to many traditional science fiction movies.
Of course, this is also normal.
After all, the subject of "Zerg" has existed in science fiction movies for decades. Various predecessors have expounded many different concepts from various angles and in various ways, and there is not much room for future generations to innovate. .
There are so many classic works of pearls and jade in front, it is impossible to make every plot in the story subvert the tradition.
But in Lu Zhiyao's view, the biggest breakthrough of "Mission and Choice" is actually the combination of Chinese cultural perspective and science fiction theme, which has never been done before.
In China, science fiction movies are very rare. Because science fiction movies require too much investment, a large number of professional props, special effects and staff are required. Without accumulation, it is easy to make four different images.
Therefore, even in the domestic film market, when it comes to science fiction movies, the first thing people think of are often those European and American science fiction giants.
The problem with this is that almost all popular sci-fi works currently available are interpreted from the perspective of Western culture.
This has caused many domestic audiences to question and divide the values ​​and value orientation of these science fiction films. What is accustomed to Westerners is completely unacceptable to domestic audiences.
The idea of ​​the story "Mission and Choice" was actually written by a famous foreign science fiction writer as early as 1985, and he also won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award. It is an eternal science fiction classic.
But in that story, the commander is a child. He felt very guilty after destroying the Zerg, so he took the young Zerg queen to find a new home in the universe, hoping to atone for himself.
This is standard Western thinking. Like many people in Western animal protection organizations, they call on humans to be vegetarian, and animals should have the same rights as humans...
For people living in a Western cultural background, perhaps this is a natural political correctness and kindness.
But for people living in the Chinese cultural background, this is a kind of out-and-out stupidity and hypocrisy, a manifestation of the overflow of the heart of the Virgin.
Westerners are chanting politically correct slogans and even fighting for the rights and interests of animals. In the final analysis, their lives are too rich and too easy. Because they are too rich in materials, they have extra energy to spread their surpluses everywhere. Sympathy.
The root of the prosperity and ease of life for Westerners is the exploitation, plunder, and killing of the entire world by their ancestors hundreds of years ago.
Westerners chanted "Animals also have rights", but they never look back at the aboriginal people who were slaughtered by their ancestors; they can get such rich material wealth without thinking about their own hands and feet. Countries are plundering and exploiting other countries in the world.
While these Westerners are indiscriminately seeking rights and interests for animals, their country is bullying, oppressing, and exploiting other countries in the world, where they continue to spread wars, famines, and plagues, allowing their fellow humans to live on earth. In purgatory.
Therefore, from the perspective of Chinese culture, UU Read www.uukanshu. Com humans sympathize with the Zerg, which is a very stupid and hypocritical behavior.
Westerners spend half their sympathy for animals to treat other races and people from other countries in the world, and the world will become much better.
In terms of setting, the Zerg is a race that is extremely threatening to all life in the universe. They have a strong collective consciousness, the ability to efficiently share information, and a strong ability to mutate. The only meaning of this kind of race is to expand and multiply into the universe and wipe out all other races.
Even if this Zerg queen really has the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence with humans, their race is still an extreme threat to human survival in terms of life form.
Human beings sympathize with the Zerg and let go of the Zerg, in fact, they are raising the tiger's legacy. How to tell if the Zerg Queen is not a lie? How to judge whether the Zerzu Queen’s future thinking will change?
In this case, the complete extinction of the Zerg is the most rational decision of mankind.
To sympathize with the zerg and protect the zerg is to put human beings in great danger.
"Mission and Choice" fully adopts the perspective of Chinese culture on this theme.
