People are running for men, and Bai Mengyan is crying at the beginning

This way,

Xiang Long followed Yuan Jinlin into an office.

The office area is not large. After all, it is a rented hotel room, and the decoration inside is also very simple.

“Sit down, I’ll get you some tea.”

Yuan Jinlin pointed to the sofa in the room and said to Xiang Long.

“Thank you, Teacher Yuan. I can do it myself.”

Seeing Yuan Jinlin going to get the teapot, Xiang Long hurried over to take over.

Yuan Jinlin didn’t refuse. He sat back on the sofa and continued to think about the question Xiang Long raised just now.

Soon, Xiang Long poured two cups of tea and put them on the coffee table.

Seeing that Yuan Jinlin was still deep in thought, Xiang Long did not disturb him and sipped the tea gently while holding the tea cup.

After a long while,

Yuan Jinlin still shook his head. He still couldn’t think of a better way to solve the problem raised by Xiang Long.

At this time, he saw Xiang Long drinking tea leisurely and became angry.

You kid, if you throw the problem to me, you will feel relaxed?

So, he asked stiffly:

“Xiang Long, since you said these two plots are unreasonable, do you have a solution?”

His original intention was just to embarrass Xiang Long.

Who would have thought that Xiang Long asked in surprise:

“Teacher Yuan, didn’t I tell you the solution?”

“Um?”

Yuan Jinlin was startled. He was about to ask you when you would tell me the answer, but something suddenly occurred to him: “You mean – what kind of leader do you want to design your role?”

“yes.”

Xiang Long said: “As long as you add a little drama to my role and show my leadership, then not only will it not be unreasonable for me to kill Su, but it will show that I know how to give up.”

Yuan Jinlin nodded thoughtfully and asked: “What about the second plot?”

The first plot is actually relatively easy to handle. The key is the second plot where he goes to the police station to plant a bomb for Sun Keyi.

Because this plot connects the past and the future, if he does not take revenge on Sun Keyi, he cannot avenge his dead friend Su, but if he takes revenge, he will expose himself.

Of course, Yuan Jinlin could keep Xiang Long from being discovered, but in that case, Xiang Long would not be able to go to prison to challenge Chen Guorong in person, and would not be able to give the audience direct hatred.

Hearing this,

Xiang Long immediately understood the meaning of Yuan Jinlin’s words. He pondered for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked:

“Teacher Yuan, I would like to ask, when you were designing my character, did you refer to any film and television images?”

Yuan Jinlin slowly shook his head.

In fact, when he designed this character, he didn’t think much about it at all. He just arranged what he needed according to the plot.

For example, the plot needed to show his hatred of the police, so he set up the first “cop-hunting” bank robbery;

He needed a motive for why he hated the police, so he arranged a plot in which he was abused by the superintendent’s father;

Another example is that he needed to confront Chen Guorong, so he arranged a plot in which Chen Guorong promised the citizens to catch him within three hours…

In a word,

The reason why the character played by Xiang Long is not smooth enough in behavioral logic is because his role is to help the protagonist Chen Guorong grow up and complete the plot tasks.

In this case, there will naturally be no reference to film and television images.

Xiang Long is not surprised by this. After all, it is not easy for a two-hour movie to show the protagonist’s growth arc. If you want to design a villain with smooth logic and the same character arc, it will take a lot of effort from the screenwriter. It’s too much to ask for.

“What, Xiang Long, do you have a reference image for your character?”

Yuan Jinlin asked.

“right.”

Xiang Long nodded and said, “Teacher Yuan, I wonder if you have watched Batman?”

“Of course I have.”

Yuan Jinlin responded: “Which villain in Batman are you planning to compare your character with?”

Yuan Jinlin is also a veteran screenwriter, and he immediately understood Xiang Long’s intention.

Xiang Long didn’t show off and said directly:

“The Joker, the Joker!”

In fact, in Earth’s time and space, when he watched the movie “New Police Story” for the first time, Xiang Long thought of the clown.

Because both of them committed crimes because they were tortured in the real world, and they were also against the ‘police’.

Although the specific methods are different, the core is the same——

That is resisting justice.

It’s just that Azu’s resistance is superficial, and he only hates the police because of his hatred for his father, while Joker is more pure and simply regards “chaos” as his life pursuit.

But now that he has the opportunity to change all this, and he also has proficient screenwriting skills, Xiang Long wants to “clown” Azu.

certainly,

He doesn’t want to

To make Azu a Hong Kong clown, the two are in completely different environments and their actions cannot be the same.

But this does not prevent Xiang Long from developing some of Azu’s behaviors and ideas in the direction of a clown.

“A clown…”

Yuan Jinlin’s eyes showed a hint of interest: “Tell me, how do you plan to transform this character?”

He finally realized that Xiang Long had ‘big plans’.

But he didn’t feel that his dignity as a screenwriter was being challenged. Instead, he felt eager to try.

Seeing that Yuan Jinlin didn’t have any resistance, Xiang Long also breathed a sigh of relief.

What he fears most is actually that Yuan Jinlin, as the chief screenwriter, refuses to change. In that case, he will have no choice but to deal with it in the original way.

“I want to transform my character mainly from three aspects——”

Xiang Long stretched out three fingers:

“Fair enough… Bah, I’m sorry, I got involved.”

Xiang Long coughed lightly and said:

“Ideas, Actions, and Means.”

Ideas, actions, means?

Yuan Jinlin was thoughtful, then took a pen and paper from the coffee table in front of him and said, “Continue talking, I’ll take note of it.”

Xiang Long was also polite and talked eloquently:

“First of all, the concept. I believe that a character is a living person, and people will have their own concepts, or values, as their own code of conduct for daily life. The values ​​of my character are – police They are all bad people!”

“All police officers are hypocritical, evil, and incompetent. They are prey that can be hunted at will.”

hiss!

Just hearing what Xiang Long said, Yuan Jinlin couldn’t help but take a breath.

If there really is such a criminal in the world, it would be a nightmare for all police officers.

“The next step is action.”

“Since I already think that the police are all bad people, then I will do anything that can hurt the police or even hurt the police’s family!”

Yuan Jinlin was not only gasping for air now, but his scalp was numb.

Based on the concept that “police are all bad” and the goal of their actions is to harm the police, this kind of criminals are simply full of hatred.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary viewers, the police are the guardians of justice, but Xiang Long wants to hurt them.

“In the end, it’s my method of doing things.”

Xiang Long said slowly:

“In order to achieve my goal of ‘hurting the police’ and verifying the concept that ‘the police are all bad people’, I will choose to do whatever it takes!”

“For example, using money to lure the police into corruption, using tricks to trick the police, asking the police to do the trolley problem, using games to destroy the police’s mind, and even publicizing the police’s incompetence and hypocrisy in the society, calling on everyone to join in resisting the police… ”

stop!

Yuan Jinlin was startled: “Stop talking, besides, I feel like this book is going to be gone.”

“Movies and TV shows are just fiction and have nothing to do with reality.”

Xiang Long shrugged:

“In short, if all three aspects are transformed, I think this character will be alive, and everyone will definitely shout for beating… In this way, Chen Guorong who can defeat me will definitely give the audience a more sense of involvement.”

Yuan Jinlin took a deep breath and sighed:

“I admit, your idea is very good, but the key point is that we haven’t had long before we start filming. Even if we change the script temporarily, I’m afraid it won’t be completed in a while…”

Before he finished speaking,

Xiang Long smiled brightly:

“It doesn’t matter, I’ve got it done.”
