Chapter three hundred and ninety-ninth selection of actors

Ma Cheng was scolded by Guo Dalu and was not angry. He took out the drawings that Guo Dalu had drawn before and asked, "Master Guo, what are you going to do to make these iron skeletons for you? It looks like a robot skeleton."

Guo Dalu threw the script of "Terminator" to Ma Cheng, "Damn it, I'm too lazy to explain. You finish reading the script first and then let's talk!"

This time, when shooting the Terminator movie, you must create some props in advance. Among them, it is necessary to create an alloy skeleton based on Guo Dalu's own body proportions. Moreover, the skeleton must be made very realistic. Ordinary special tool production companies may not be able to make it. Therefore, Guo Dalu simply marked all the parts of the entire skeleton and directly made people to create the spare parts according to the marked size, and then assemble and debug it.

He has a profound skill in sketching and his paintings are vivid and vivid, especially the formed robot skeleton, which is only on the drawing paper, but it gives people a sense of coldness and ruthlessness.

Sketches have reached this level as a master's level. When Ma Cheng first saw these sketches, he had the idea of ​​collecting them. At this time, he had copied several sketches drawn by Guo Dalu, but the original sketch was hidden by him.

"This story..."

After watching the script of "Terminator", Ma Cheng's face turned red with excitement and said, "The robot travels through time to stop something about to happen. Hehe, this setting is interesting!"

He laughed and said, "The robot sent the Terminator to end the mother of the leader of the human rebel army. When the leader of the rebel army found out, he sent his subordinates to save his mother, and the subordinates sent out were his biological father."

Ma Cheng was amazed, "This leader of the Rebel Army is so dark-hearted. He knew that his father would die because of saving him, but for his own birth, he made up his mind to send his father to die. Hehe, this hidden character also has room for exploration!"

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "You are still a little brainy. I'm going to shoot a series. This is just the first one. Let's see the market reaction first. If you can, we are preparing for the second one."

When Ma Cheng heard that he was going to shoot a series, he suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Guo, you said you were shooting a series, but I remembered "The First Drop of Blood". This movie can also be made into a series. Now there are still many viewers who want to watch the follow-up of this movie."

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "You are very heartless. Let's talk about it after the first drop of blood. Now we will get the Terminator first!"

The original terminator is a Western feature film. When Guo Dalu comes to the hands of him, he will definitely make some modifications and Chinese-style things in the West, such as the names of the male and female protagonists and all characters related to the story must be Chinese-styled. So after modification, the plot becomes like this:

"After a nuclear war in the 21st century, the earth was ruled by robots, and the surviving humans gathered together to resist the brutal rule of robots. In order to eliminate the leader of the human struggle against machine rule, the robot ruler sent a killer. This killer was a semi-mechanical and half-flesh creature, but in appearance, it was no different from humans to assassinate the mother of the leader of the human resistance movement, a woman named Song Junxiu. The human leader of the future world also sent a man named Mark to protect Song Na.

Mark returned to Baolan City in 2017 with the robot killer. At that time, there were thirteen women named Song Junxiu in Baolan City. Eleven of them were killed overnight, and the twelfth resisted for a while before they died, which attracted the attention of the police station, which also became a shocking case that shocked the whole country.

One night, Song Junxiu met a killer when she returned home. Thanks to Mark's arrival in time, the two drove onto the highway in a car, and the killer chased him back. Mark told Song Junxiu everything.

In the midst of adversity, Mark and Song Junsu fell in love.

The killer chased after him again. The car that was chasing the killer crashed and a fire ignited, burning the robot killer into a mechanical skeleton. In order to save Song Junxiu, Mark and the killer who had only the skeleton left died together.

Soon, Song Junxiu discovered that she was pregnant with Kyle's child, and this was the leader of the future human resistance movement."

This script was changed by Guo Dalu, and it suddenly became a science fiction work with a strong Chinese atmosphere. After modification, Guo Dalu deliberately outlined the entire work in his mind, and always felt that it was one level different from the original "Terminator". The difference was not that there was a deviation in the plot, but that something was wrong with the viewing experience.

It is probably because of the influence of watching foreign blockbusters for a long time. It is difficult for Chinese people who want to be there to associate the words "black technology products" with Chinese people. The same science fiction prop is taken for granted in the hands of foreigners, and gives people a very harmonious feeling. If Chinese actors hold it in their hands, they will give people a feeling of inappropriateness.

It’s like when you see black people from primitive African tribes, carrying small bows and arrows, and barefoot chasing their prey, you will feel normal, but once this naked black man runs wildly on the grassland with a submachine gun, the scene will instantly blind your krypton gold dog eyes.

In the final analysis, this is still a problem in cultural propaganda and will never be solved in a short period of time. However, the depth of Western culture invasion of Chinese culture can be seen from this.

When considering this, Guo Dalu could almost guarantee that the box office of this movie would definitely not be as good as his previous two movies. It is estimated that at most it would be the same as "The First Blood". If you want to catch up with "Shaolin Temple" and "Roman Holiday", there would be basically no hope.

But even if the box office may not be very prosperous, Guo Dalu will definitely have to be filmed in this movie. This is no longer just a box office issue. The most important thing is the output of culture. Let more people see this movie, let more people understand themselves, take the opportunity to bring some Chinese customs and culture out of the film, and subtly change foreigners’ views on China. This is Guo Dalu’s main purpose.

Since Western culture continues to invade Chinese culture, Guo Dalu will naturally not be polite to Western culture. Just like the "Shaolin Temple" some time ago, it was a successful cultural output to Western countries, allowing them to know the existence of Chinese martial arts and thus triggered a global kung fu craze. Many foreigners may not know the capital of China, but they know that there is a Shaolin Temple in China.

Ma Cheng returned the script to Guo Dalu, "Master Guo, I already know what's going on. I will let you work overtime to get the alloy skeleton you want. You are also very familiar with the staff of our company. You can choose these people at your disposal. This time our company will fully support the shooting of your film!"

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Okay, let's start the first step, first, select actors!"

He told Ma Cheng: "I will play the robot in this film. The male lead must be a stronger actor. Even the actress must have a bit of a stingy personality and have the aura of being as good as a man."

Ma Chengdao: "Mr. Guo, I dare not get involved in selecting actors. You should make your own decisions! It would be better if you can use our own actors. If you can't use them, as long as you speak, I will come forward and invite them!"

Guo Dalu pondered for a while and said, "I already have a candidate for the heroine, and the hero will wait for me to consider it for a few days!"

After saying this, he continued to design the shooting plan, but the news that "Guo Dalu's new film is still missing a male lead" was thus spread to the outside world, which immediately caused shock in the entertainment industry.

Many actors were extremely moved after hearing this news.

Who is Guo Dalu?

That is the international director! The holder of the world box office record!

He is also a super golden hand in the entertainment industry!

None of the films that Guo Dalu handles are not box office hits, and the actors in it have become well-known figures in the circle one after another.

"Shaolin Temple" is one of the examples. Many actors in the film became famous because of this drama, especially Song Qingyun, who became an international superstar because of this drama, from an unknown academy boy to a star with a pay of tens of millions. This is just the role of a movie Guo Dalu.
