Entertainment: My house collapsed and I was forced to start making movies

Chapter 229 Anti-Fraud
Chinese people have a saying, come and go.

Seeing that the Internet has decided that I have withdrawn from the circle.

Tong Guan Xun thought, or just give up.

Anyway, he has no idea about filming movies and TV series.

But at this moment, someone found him.

"It's like this. The higher-ups are planning to shoot an anti-fraud film and television drama. Originally, we wanted the Third Master to do this, but now that he is old and has stopped acting, he doesn't want to participate in this aspect of work. In addition, recently In the past two years, your reputation has indeed become more positive. Combined with your strength, the higher-ups are ready to let you come."

After hearing Jingtian's words, Tong Guan's face showed helplessness.

"You won't look for him when he's gone, so I'm still gone now."

"This hasn't been officially announced yet."

Tongguan:.
He didn't speak, but silently took out his phone to open Weibo, and then clicked on his comment area.

"Well, you can see for yourself. Now they all think that I am no longer in the spotlight. How will they think of me when I come back to make movies at this time?"

"Oh, this is all the wishful thinking of netizens. Director Tong, you have not publicly admitted that you are no longer acting, so it does not count as a comeback."

Tong Guan looked at Jing Tian with some suspicion: "Why are you so concerned about this matter? If I remember correctly, your father has been notified that he has to change his job."

Jingtian blinked: "Isn't this something I haven't changed yet? Finally, help me find some benefits."

Hearing this, Tong Guan frowned slightly: "So you still don't worry about what I said last time?"

Before, when Tong Guan was filming "Manslaughter", he told Jing Tian that he wanted her to switch to TV series.

At that time, Jingtian also said that he would seriously consider it.

As a result, after considering it for a year, I still refused to give up on the movie.

Jingtian spread his hands helplessly: "I can't help it. I've watched all the TV series and there are no good resources. I don't know where to get in if I want to get in. Besides, this movie has a female protagonist anyway. Yes, why can’t it be me.”

Tong Guan raised his eyebrows: "Then why can't it be my wife?"

"She's pregnant and you still let her work. Are you willing to do that?"

Tongguan:.
"Let me think about it."

Tong Guan thought for a moment and said.

He actually has no idea about 'coming back' and making another movie.

The reason why he didn't refuse directly was just because Jingtian came with the intention from above.

Tong Guan planned to delay for a while to see if there would be any chance to refuse later.

But Jingtian seemed to see what he was thinking, so he said directly: "Director Tong, there are not many satisfied people at the moment, and you are the best choice. If you hand in a good answer sheet, it will benefit you a lot. "

"I know, I know."

Tong Guan's tone was full of helplessness.

How could he not know that there are many benefits?

But he doesn't really want this benefit.

Now he just wants to retire and enjoy life.

Seeing that Tong Guan had not yet agreed, Jingtian took out a document from the backpack he carried with him.

"Do you want to see this, the child guide?"

"Ok?"

Tong Guan took the document from Jing Tian with some doubts. When he saw the contents clearly, Tong Guan's pupils shrank.

“Once it’s stamped, it’s a formal document~”

Seeing Tong Guan's reaction, Jingtian continued to confuse him.

"Tsk~ You guys."

Tong Guan shook his head, with a half-smile expression on his face.

"Forget it, I don't tease netizens once or twice anyway."

Hearing this, Jingtian also had a smile on his face.

"Then I wish us happy cooperation in advance~"

"Well, do you write the script or should I?"

"We believe more in your level as a child guide."

"just wait."

After saying this, Tongguan sent Jingtian away.

Back in the office, Tong Guan took out a script from the drawer with some speechlessness.

He wrote this last year, but it was not submitted for review.

Because at that time he had the idea of ​​withdrawing from the circle.

He thought he wouldn't need this script anymore.

In the end, after going round and round, this script came in handy.

"put all one's eggs in one basket"

Yes, it was the anti-fraud propaganda movie that Tong Guan had watched in his previous life.

It's just that the script Tong Guan is working on is very different from his previous life.

Because in Tong Guan's view, "All or Nothing" in his previous life was simply a terrible movie.

From the perspective of character behavior patterns: the behavior patterns of several characters are extremely outrageous.

How did the protagonists at the beginning get the confidence to challenge a fraud gang that possesses armed and violent resources after being abducted to a fraud base?Is this what a 30-year-old adult should do when in danger?

Especially the male protagonist Pan Sheng, a 30-year-old quasi-executive. After being kidnapped, he told the fraud leader from time to time that he did not want to commit fraud. This is wrong. He has no sense of consciousness as a kidnapped person, nor any sense of crisis. His mind is as simple as that of a primary school student. There is no judgment or consciousness that an adult should have in him. He even shouts about his desire to escape. Is it because no one around him knows?
From the perspective of narrative strategy, the narrative strategy of this work is very failed, the focus is unclear, and the priorities are not distinguished.

Nearly an hour of the movie is spent telling the story of the supporting character Gu Tianzhi. This is another perspective in the movie's narrative. Pan Sheng is acting as a fraudster at this time.

That's okay. The director wanted to tell the story from multiple perspectives, but he undoubtedly failed. This is because the focus is unclear.

A large amount of space is devoted to the supporting characters, which greatly reduces the presentation space of the protagonist, leaving a huge gap in the shaping process of Pan Sheng, so that by the end, the character of Pan Sheng did not stand up and was extremely flat.

In contrast, has Gu Tianzhi, who spent a lot of time talking about it, been created?

The answer is no.

Tong Guan only saw a second-generation rich man who happened to see a simple and deceptive website, and then he kept throwing money into it like a maniac, so much so that when Gu Tianzhi was mentioned later When he was graduating with his master's degree, Tong Guan laughed out loud because the character looked so stupid.

Tong Guan knows that some people will say that this is a prototype that exists in reality, and some are even more outrageous. However, the responsibility of the film director is to reasonably narrate those bizarre things in reality. In other words, to convince the audience in the narrative, It's reasonable to let the audience know that such a character was deceived, rather than making up for it after the fact.

In other words, the audience needs to see in the narrative what kind of deception the fraud gang uses and how it takes advantage of people's psychological weaknesses to set up traps step by step to lure the character into it. The audience needs to see Gu Tianzhi's suspicion. and conviction, seeing his self-persuasion, and seeing his final struggle, but these are omitted, or ignored, in the narrative, and it seems like there is a strong sense of manipulation.

What this means is that this character was deceived not because the liar was a good deceiver, but because the screenwriter needed him to be deceived.

So when he finally saw this character commit suicide, Tong Guan would not feel pitiful or regretful, but would only feel funny and ridiculous.Moreover, the song that Gu Tianzhi inserted after committing suicide was so shocking and embarrassing that he instantly dreamed back to the French popularization program.

In addition, spending a lot of time telling such a subplot will also greatly reduce the narrative scope of the main plot. During the viewing process, the sloppy and rushed ending that is visible to the naked eye also shows that the biggest force in the film that confronts the fraud gang - the police, and their actions The presentation has also been pared down, making it seem extremely tasteless and useless, like a decoration.

Crude turns and deus ex machina: Many of the twists in this movie are extremely blunt, and can even be said to be child's play. Relying on coincidence to promote the plot, and relying on deus ex machina to solve events can be said to be the most incompetent writing.

For example, there was Brother Cai who rescued Anna. While watching, Tong Guan guessed that the other party might be an undercover agent, but it turned out that Brother Cai liked him.

Tong Guan could only say that this turn of events was too sudden. Brother Cai and Manager Lu had no foreshadowing for Liang Anna's affection, and it was extremely forceful. The feeling of being manipulated just mentioned appeared here again.

Near the end, how did the police get their clues?The small advertisement happened to be delivered to the Zhao detachment's car, which is another example of using coincidence to advance the plot.

So how did the police solve the case in the end?Relying on a character who appears out of nowhere, a binary teacher, because the protagonist sent him a message, he discovers the hint in the message in the final moments of the film.

This is pure deus ex machina, which is a huge failure in plot design, and makes the plot of the whole movie extremely ridiculous, funny and child's play.

There are some unreasonable things in other places: at the end, the CQB in the police room actually let a few people with pistols stand at the front, hide behind with heavy firepower of rifles, and also let people with pistols come up around the corner...

There are also a bunch of police officers who surrounded the prisoner. The first thing they did was not to disarm and eliminate the threat. Instead, they walked up to the prisoner in a swaggering manner and put the pistol on the prisoner's waist. Isn't this invisible?It’s really too long to live.

After the police killed the main criminal, there were still some stupid prisoners shouting to run away?Brother, do you want to see that the police around you are armed with live ammunition?

Due to the many shortcomings mentioned above, Tong Guan made a lot of adaptations to this script.

It can be said that except for the names of some characters and the name of the movie, most of the other plots have nothing to do with the original movie.

The script in Tong Guan's hand tells the story of the protagonist Pan Sheng, who was deceived overseas and was forced to join the fraud industry after suffering a series of inhuman torture. He then fell into it and gradually became a supervisor, manager, The story of becoming a mini-boss.

This play has no happy ending.

Until the end, the fraud gang was still at large.

It is mixed with a large number of violent methods, brutal techniques and fraud processes used by fraudsters.

It can be said that this is a movie with as many villains as "No Man's Land".

Tong Guan had not submitted it for review before because he felt that under normal circumstances the superiors would not want his script to pass review.

But now, if it’s an anti-fraud propaganda movie, it’s okay.

After all, the more brutal Tongguan is shown in the movie, the more obvious the warning to the audience.

Let them clearly see the violence of fraudsters, and also tell them that there is basically no hope of recovery after being deceived, so they should be careful about fraud.

A good ending will not make people remember it deeply. Only letting the bad guys get away with it can make them remember it for a long time.

It's just that Tong Guan didn't submit the script for review immediately.

After all, as soon as Jingtian told him about this, he sent the script for review, which seemed a bit strange.

It will also make them feel that writing their own scripts is easy.

What if they have such an idea and they trouble themselves like this in the future?
Tong Guan really wants to retire, instead of just shouting slogans.

Half a month later, Tong Guan submitted the script for review.

After some hesitation, the superiors still chose to review him.

After all, Tong Guan gave a very good reason.

Only by being beaten can they remember something, and only by letting them know that there is no possibility of recovery will they be careful in everything they do.

Moreover, the scenes here are all overseas, and there will not be much negative impact on the country.

After the script was reviewed, Tong Guan also posted on Weibo.

[We are about to start shooting a new movie. It is an anti-fraud movie. It is very big, very big. It is recommended to watch it with your parents. 】

As soon as this Weibo post was posted, it instantly attracted the attention of many netizens.

"Ah? Didn't you withdraw from the circle?"

"Wait a minute, my mind is a little confused. Haven't you already withdrawn from the circle?"

"Good guy, you're a liar, right?"

"Along with your parents? This sentence sounds so familiar!"

"It's very big? Oh? How big is it? Did the FBI warn you?"

"Your Weibo reminds me of some movies I once watched."

"It's upstairs, Xisuo!"

“I was also reminded of one of my friend’s favorite movies.”

"."

#childGuanxinmovie#
This entry quickly became a hot search topic, which confused many netizens who had not paid attention to Tongguan.

In their memories, Tong Guan should have quit the industry a few months ago. Why did he start filming a new movie?

Some people even felt that Tong Guan was teasing their fans.

Until someone pointed out the key words of Tongguan Weibo.

Anti-fraud propaganda movie!

These words are very positive at first sight!

"I guess Tongzhu really wanted to retreat, but he was caught back again."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's impossible for ordinary people to catch Tong Guan back."

"It can be seen that Tong Guan is also helpless."

"According to my understanding of children, he should have really wanted to quit before."

"Do you feel that Tong Zhu's current route is very similar to that of an old friend who has passed away?"

"The old friend you mentioned is named Han?"

"If you tell me, they are indeed similar. Even the types of movies they make are very similar."

"I almost forgot that today's child beast is a regular soldier. It is normal for him to make this type of movie."

"What the hell, as long as it's a movie about children, we won't be disappointed!"

"."

Although some people saw the origin of Tong Guan's new movie, no one felt disappointed.

On the contrary, they are looking forward to Tong Guan's new movie.

Just because Tong Guan's movies have never let them down.

Even if Tong Guan's film this time is for propaganda purposes, they still believe that Tong Guan can make it well.

After all, there are quite a few people in film history who have made good movies under the banner of propaganda!
