Chapter 467: A four-act story (23)

A simple opening ceremony was held.

The first scene begins.

On the streets of Bangkok, Li Weiguo, played by Huang Xiaoming, is depressed.

While eating, I was mocked and ridiculed by the Siamese.

Shen Santong explained the play to Huang Xiaoming: "Xiaoming, deep down in your heart, you understand the punishment of being expelled, but you don't agree with it out loud."

"You have powerful abilities, but you are unwilling to use them on ordinary people."

"In terms of performance, it's better to be rustic at the beginning, don't try to be cool."

"Of course, you can play it up when you hear the Predator's son is coming."

There was a burst of laughter, and everyone knew that Huang Xiaoming was used to showing off.

Huang Xiaoming said: "I will grasp it."

Shen Santong is confident in him. Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are actually very strong. He becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents. It all depends on whether he can bring out his talents.

The character of Li Weiguo was designed by Shen Santong to be a hero with flaws.

His view on movies has always been that the threshold should be low.

Not just the plot, but the characters too.

The things the male protagonist cares about are very small, and the entry point is his own experience, so that there is tension as the plot progresses.

Only when the foundation is solid can it become grand.

It naturally draws the audience into the play.

Hollywood already has a mature assembly line for this.

In each scene, relevant information is given naturally.

Use a lighthearted tone to talk about serious things and express the spirit of various themes humorously.

It is even possible to portray a war of aggression as one that is full of patriotism, making people ignore the fact that it is essentially an unjust war.

When it comes to Hollywood movies, American TV series, and themes related to the Middle East battlefield, confusing right and wrong is a basic ability.

It doesn’t really matter what you think of the film. What matters is that the film is centered on the characters and that the characters are filled with flesh and blood.

It moves people and makes them imagine the characters' mentality spontaneously, using symbolic language to trigger empathy.

Simply put, with fast editing, smooth narration, various languages ​​and camera cues, you can draw your own conclusions through camera language, lines, and plot.

It is difficult to deny the conclusions drawn by the audience themselves.

This is just a relatively simple technique, and there are more subtle ones that can be of great help.

In the movie "Inception", Shen Santong used a very traditional narrative technique.

Four acts.

Act 1: The lonely hero and the crisis.

Goal: Resolve the crisis.

The beginning was a dream.

The hero and his companions are carrying out an ordinary dream action.

The dream entry rules are introduced, revealing a corner of Game 638.

They are the bureau's dream team.

Infiltrate the dreams of high-risk criminals, obtain subconscious evidence, detect crimes, and confront criminals when necessary.

Through communication with friends, the protagonist's past begins to be revealed.

He had a dream where he was alone, which was also the reason why he wandered in a foreign country.

A flash of blood passed by, and a woman's figure appeared in the hero's dream.

The hero woke up in shock, and the dream could not be sustained.

Stopped abruptly.

The male protagonist was not surprised at all as he was recalling the past again, because this was the dream he had woven to torture himself.

The knot in his heart made him unwilling to recall the past, and the more he forced himself to recall it, the more he did.

Maybe if it had been ten minutes earlier, nothing would have happened.

The male protagonist is decadent and wandering in a foreign country, crying with homesickness.

A startled waking shot expresses all the emotions, with the hero covered in a blanket that looks like red stars and blood.

Flag themed blanket.

It means that the hero is dissatisfied with his punishment, but still loves his motherland deeply.

Shen Santong learned advanced experience from Hollywood.

In many movies, American actors directly wear clothes with national flags and various Stars and Stripes elements. Shen Santong is relatively conservative and is afraid that the audience will not be able to accept it.

There are all kinds of suspense at the beginning, what is the dream, and why the male protagonist appears in a foreign country.

The male protagonist went out to eat.

While walking on the streets of Bangkok and having a meal, I was ridiculed and bullied by a relatively familiar Siamese local.

The male protagonist didn't care. An emergency report appeared on the restaurant's TV, which was flashing with snow.

Siam was hit by snipers again.

A crisis has occurred.

A crisis is about to sweep across the country, and countless people are about to be displaced.

The human catastrophe ten years ago reappeared.

The son of the "predator" Huntros came back with the support of the consortium and hot money and started short selling on a large scale.

The announcer's words were filled with fear and anger.

Almost everyone in the restaurant felt insecure.

The man who mocked the hero was retching with hatred and fear in his eyes.

While eating rice, Li Weiguo, who had been depressed, looked sharp.

He doesn't need anyone to assign him tasks, he has a strong self-motivation.

Find yourself, the hero returns!
Use your own abilities to start a journey of rescue.

Li Weiguo was confident that he could accomplish it, but he knew that he needed the bureau's approval to take action in Siam.

Although he was fired and expelled, Li Weiguo still considered himself a member of the authorities.

Find teammates you are familiar with in China.

Other people in the country had their own tasks, and only the "scout" played by Wu Jing was on vacation, so the bureau sent him over.

For Li Weiguo, having helpers was secondary. The more important thing was that the bureau tacitly approved of the action.

Act II: The battle between good and evil.

Objective: ① Fight against the evil Dream Stealers and defeat the other Dream Stealers team.

② Rewrite the idea of ​​​​Horros' son and let him truly engage in charity work instead of subverting other countries and plundering other people's property under the guise of NGO.

After Wu Jing arrived, he launched an investigation.

Prepare to rewrite the subconscious of Huntros's son.

Wu Jing asked: "Can we just do it with just the two of us without any help?"

The male protagonist said: "More than enough, you understand my infiltration principles."

Then, it was awkward.

It was discovered that not only was Ross's son hunted, but there were also traces of another group of dream gangs and criminals.

He uses his ability to enter dreams to obtain valuable information and secrets from the subconscious mind. He is employed by the Hunting Ross Group and is very well-equipped.

The hero began to look for help.

Ask the bureau for it. If you can’t afford to lose face, ask someone else.

Introduce dream-related professions and give information layer by layer.

"Scouts" are responsible for gathering intelligence and, when necessary, using force to resolve problems and remove obstacles.

As the name suggests, "pharmacist" prepares medicines to help people fall asleep.

The "architect" creates a dream building, the more realistic the better, so that after the target person enters the dream, he will believe that he is in his own dream.

The protagonist's identity is revealed, "The Creator", who has an ancient heritage and powerful strength. Generally, entering a dream requires teamwork and waiting when the person's consciousness is weak.

The protagonist can enter a dream alone, and can force himself to enter a dream when he is awake.

It can even wipe out other people's consciousness.

"The Creator" is also known as the "Dream Master" and can empower others.

So the male protagonist is confident that he can control the situation without the need for professionals.

A "pharmacist" who graduated from the biomedical science major, played by Masami Nagasawa.

Min plays the role of "architect", a Siamese girl whose family is engaged in civil engineering and real estate construction and has amazing design talent.

A taciturn Thai boxing bodyguard who was played by the killer Chachai in "Crazy Racing".

After the protagonist formed his team, he started to compete with another team of dream stealers.

Act III: Sudden difficulties.

Goal: To resolve the final obstacle.

A thrilling battle defeated the leader of the dream stealing team and prevented him from rewriting the subconscious of the Siamese Finance Minister.

But there was a problem in hunting Ross's son.

Hunter Ross set up a stubborn barrier in his son's subconscious mind that could not be opened.

It is filled with all kinds of strange creatures and must not be contaminated.

A fleeting island, a red house, and a strange ritual
pay tribute!

Shen Santong pays tribute to Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut".

Li Weiguo sought help and asked his master for a solution. He received the inheritance of Luotian Dajiao (jiao), which further provided information about the dream.

To complete the Luotian Dajiao, a rookie "architect" min cannot do it, and an experienced dream "architect" is needed.

Zhou Jie makes a guest appearance and comes to Siam to help build deeper dream buildings.

This time it doesn't need to be real, but to blast open the defense layer of Huntros's son, and the male protagonist will carry out saturation bombing.

Taking advantage of the profound cultural heritage and simple humanistic care of the University of Tokyo, and with a grand dream of interweaving ancient civilization and modern industry, we arranged a grand ceremony to fight against the distorted rituals of Western civilization.

Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City, and the skyscrapers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

It finally took place at the Great Hall of the People.

Zhou Jie jokingly called it "using a cannon to kill a mosquito."

Shen Santong required a feeling of antiquity and newness, ancient traditional culture and modern scientific and technological civilization, which complemented each other.

In the third act, as the story continues to deepen, the theme is sublimated.

Li Weiguo's secret.

It turned out that the reason why Li Weiguo was stranded in a foreign land was that during a patrol, he learned from a dream that a group of evil forces had killed his wife.

He was one step too late. The furious Li Weiguo used his inheritance to erase the consciousness of the three main culprits and killed them all.

The three people died in their dreams, and no fatal signs were found medically, so their cases were handed over to Bureau 638.

Li Weiguo violated the rules of Bureau 638 and was permanently fired and expelled, and had to leave his country.

Min asked curiously: "You didn't do anything wrong, you just wanted revenge, and you were expelled. Do you have any hatred in your heart?"

Li Weiguo replied: "I never ask what the country has done for me, but what I have done for the country."

In this regard, Shen Santong still learns from the United States.

This is not a film or TV show, politicians are just shouting like this.

Yizier once said that if you don’t like your own country, you can just leave.

Shen Santong's concentration is very low, and he just elevates the male protagonist's personal image through this behavior.

This is a patriotic, kind-hearted person with basic moral standards.

The death of his wife made him obsessed with protecting her and he would not allow any evil to appear in his eyes.

It explains why he would save Siam, which had nothing to do with him, and fight against the World Consortium.

The whole city is filled with grief and blood, but the only thought is to save the people!

Act 4, the final showdown, returning home victorious.

Goal: Defeat the defenses of Huntros' son and implant his subconscious.

The members of the Dream Keeper team, including the "Scout" played by Wu Jing, the experienced "Architect" played by Zhou Jie, the novice "Architect" played by Min, and the "Pharmacist" played by Masami Nagasawa, are arranged in multiple locations and resonate with the same frequency.

The dream was quickly edited and broken, and the Great Hall of the People was like a mobile fortress, with red stars shining, driving all kinds of modern and ancient buildings and rising into the sky.

The ceremony swept across the outside of the son of Huntros and shattered it with a rub.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter, it suppressed everything and shattered countless distortions.

The friends were dumbfounded: "Is this still implanted in the subconscious mind?"

Li Weiguo said seriously: "Killing all enemies is the highest level of infiltration."

After implanting the subconscious mind of the completely defenseless son of Shuros, Li Weiguo actually saw information that he, as the "creator", could not interpret.

Business is important, so he implanted two consciousnesses.

One is to make the operating logic wrong, and the other is to tear the family apart and emphasize the problems of the original family. Lao Deng is an idiot, and let Xiao Deng do real charity instead of fake charity.

end.

The son of Shuros made mistakes in operation, missed opportunities repeatedly, and was hit by multiple parties with high leverage. Shuros called to inquire about the situation. Xiao Deng felt that his original family was oppressive, and Lao Deng was doing evil. He thought that he was the embodiment of sin, and he cursed Lao Deng.

Li Weiguo completed the defense of a foreign land, won this war without the smoke of gunpowder, and protected Siam.

Of course, Shen Santong still carried out saturation rescue.

The dream battle is just a small part.

On the front battlefield, Dongda reached a cooperation with Siam through diplomatic channels.

Fundamentally, it is Dongda’s industrial chain layout over the years that has tightly protected the assets of Siamese workers.

Not only Siam, but also the whole of Asia was stabilized.

Ended.

The person who ridiculed the male protagonist at the beginning showed his unknown side.

The reason why he is hostile to foreigners is that he lost his job in the crisis ten years ago and was a victim of the catastrophe, so he could only pray to the devil.

Without a backer, one can only seek support from imaginary ghosts and gods.

Thailand has a culture of ghosts and gods.

Some people worship gods, some people pray to ghosts.

Shen Santong learned this part from watching Shipindao’s Southeast Asian videos in his previous life. "Inception" will present a more objective picture of the situation in Thailand.

It is not the lower class people who are wrong, but the people who inflict endless suffering on them.

Li Weiguo forgave the man who mocked him and took back what he had started.

Zhou Jie, who came to help, told the protagonist that he had been granted a special pardon and could return once.

Li Weiguo returned to China as he wished.

Taking a nap on the plane back home.

In the dream, my wife came to say goodbye.

The male protagonist did not let his wife disappear, but kept her and opened up a deep dream world in a corner of his memory.

Not to torture myself, but to stay with my wife forever.

He had an idea in his heart that perhaps by reaching the ultimate state, he could resurrect his wife.

After seeing the child, he went to meet his master, the director of Bureau 638.

At the end of the movie, the setting of Bureau 638 is revealed.

Shen Santong wanted to create an extraordinary universe, so he started with Game 638.

The setting of Bureau 638 is completely different from that of Bureau 749 by Colonel Lu Chuan.

Colonel Lu Chuan’s 749th inning was terrible.

It's hard to imagine that after so many lessons, anyone would still go to watch it.

Even an elementary school student couldn't make up such a bad story.
