Chapter 489 The tearing feeling of "The Sound of Wind"

Shen Santong has always had a point of view.

"Having a conscience, understanding history, and liking to scratch the Democratic Party is an impossible triangle."

"If you have a conscience and understand history, you can't possibly like to scrape the Democratic Party."

"If you understand history and like to scrape the Democratic Party, you can't have a conscience."

"Back in the 192s, if you wanted to save the nation, there was only one way to do anything."

"Those who think the Democratic Party is good can only make the Democratic Party look like us."

"There is a very bad trend now, which is to play the game of misattribution."

"They are the Kuomintang and puppet troops. They are highly educated, cheerful, open-minded, and pursue democracy and freedom."

"It's all nonsense. It's precisely because we are the open-minded party, the knowledgeable and capable."

"In the cave, our soldiers discussed aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and even Donald Duck."

"The Kuomintang and the puppet army are the only ones who are illiterate, especially after April 412, those who had aspirations, ideals, and morals were basically killed, and a large number of hooligans and ruffians rose to power."

"Good and bad are mixed together. Having morals is nothing special, and having no morals is nothing either. Everything has been deconstructed and is the same."

Jiang Wei glanced through the script.

He is quite rational.

Mainly he worked with Shen Santong.

Know that the other party only requires general requirements, and you need him to implement the details.

Shen Santong can be said to be full of passion, and he has to consider the difficulty.

"The audience can accept that a TV series is good-looking, but can the audience accept that movies cost money?"

Jiang Wei still values ​​this opportunity very much.

As someone who has been in this circle for a long time, he understood that this opportunity might only be given by Shen Santong.

Unless he is like what Shen Santong said.

Mixing the two together might give you a chance.

Shen Sandong said: "The fact that "The Hidden" can become so popular shows that the audience not only accepts it subconsciously, but also supports it."

"The current atmosphere is too fucked up, and the audience hopes to return to their original intentions."

"The Hidden" became a huge hit and showed a strong momentum, which also fits the current trend.

Official media, especially BJ media, took turns reporting on the incident.

The General Administration held a study meeting on "Insidious" and the film received high praise.

There is nothing wrong with the official tone set. The third-party media that have been complaining about it are also because of the problems in the online version. The atmosphere of print publishing is very positive.

Shen Santong continued, "Teacher Jiang, let me tell you, if you say you are patriotic online, you will indeed be scolded, but how many of these people are real people?"

"I have done a survey, and apart from people in our circle, if I randomly ask anyone walking on the street whether they have any opinion on patriotism, almost no one has any opinion."

“The voices on the Internet, the voices of public opinion, are too easy to shape.”

"If I only listened to public opinion, I would not have been successful. Assembly was not possible either, with an all-mainland cast. Painted Skin was not possible either, with mainland actors being so unsophisticated."

"Mei Lanfang can't beat Ip Man, The Promise is worse than Wu Yusen's Red Cliff, The Promise will lose its pants, but what's the reality?"

“Assembly, Mei Lanfang, and Painted Skin are all big sellers, and there’s no problem with The Promise making a profit.”

"On the contrary, it is the directors from Hong Kong who have been making costume blockbusters that have failed one after another."

"Many public opinions are false. The Internet easily amplifies extreme voices, and some media selectively report on them intentionally or unintentionally."

“The question is whether you can tell a good story.”

“The story of “Live” is easy to understand, and the way it tells the personnel struggle at Tianjin Station through the lens of office politics makes it seem fresh.”

Jiang Wei was both happy and troubled. He read the script again. As a professional, he read the script very quickly.

Having read the original novel, he was familiar with the general plot.

"The four characters were expanded to five, the story was simplified and became a 'ghost hunting' story, and the setting was also reduced."

Shen Sandong said: "Limit the scene to Qiuzhuang to make the struggle more intense."

"Takeda found out that the old ghost who was responsible for sending the order was hiding in the bandit suppression headquarters, so he brought the five suspects who were most likely to have access to the telegram to the closed Qiuzhuang."

"Wu Zhiguo, the leader of the puppet army's bandit suppression brigade; Bai Xiaonian, the aide-de-camp to the commander of the puppet army's bandit suppression corps; Li Ningyu, the leader of the translation and telegraph group of the puppet army's bandit suppression headquarters; Gu Xiaomeng, the administrative and mail specialist of the puppet army's bandit suppression headquarters; and Jin Shenghuo, the director of the military affairs department of the puppet army's bandit suppression corps."

"The time limit is only five days. Takeda must use all means, even cruel torture, to find the old ghost."

"In order to protect themselves, the five people under house arrest are also observing the other four people around them, hoping to catch the old ghost as soon as possible so that they can leave Qiuzhuang safely."

"And the lurkers need to send the intelligence out."

Shen Santong continued the original version, which can be regarded as a spy version of "Werewolf", with limited location, limited time, and fierce struggle.

The background is that in the spring of 1940, Wang Jingwei, the former vice chairman of the Communist Party, made peace with the Japanese government and established a new "people's government" in Nanjing.

After taking office, Wang Jingwei launched three major policies and at the same time lured frustrated Chiang Kai-shek's military and political leaders into the cabinet.

On October 1942, 10, at a grand ceremony held by the Wang Puppet Government to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, an important official of the Wang Puppet Government was shot dead.

This incident attracted great attention from the Japanese side. The head of the Japanese secret service, Takeda, suspected that this series of assassinations was planned by Lao Gui, the leader of our party in the Peking area, and hoped to completely crack down on his organization through investigation.

The original novel only suspected four people, Jin, Wu, Li and Gu, from the beginning to the end. Compared with the original novel, the movie added Bai Xiaonian, expanding the number of people from four to five.

On the one hand, in order to add more suspects, the waters are muddied and the audience is confused.

On the other hand, Su Youpeng is Chen Guofu's man, from Wandao, so he has more roles to play.

In the original movie, Jin Shenghuo, played by Ying Da, is a coward who is afraid of death and follows Bai Xiaonian, played by Su Youpeng, offline.

In the novel, Jin Shenghuo is not given much attention, and is considered a leader who is content with the status quo. In the original movie, Zhang Hanyu played Wu Zhiguo, who has a hot temper, sings a good song, and has always been at odds with Gu Xiaomeng.

In the novel, Wu Zhiguo has always protected Li Ningyu, played by Li Bingbing, because of his straightforward character, and has always wanted to use his hands to take Li Ningyu out.

Li Ningyu in the original movie was a relatively low-key person, and the credit for deciphering the telegram mainly goes to her.

Li Ningyu in the novel is an old ghost, who is quite awesome. He "single-handedly" defeats three people in Qiu Zhuang and uses Gu Xiaomeng, played by Zhou Xun, to deliver the code. He is a genius among geniuses.

Zhou Xun's Gu Xiaomeng is the most consistent with the original work. She is a rich girl with a temper like a young lady and is outspoken. Moreover, her father has a close relationship with Wang.

The biggest change is that she becomes an old ghost in the movie.

Bai Xiaonian in the original movie is a sissy who makes people feel feminine. He knows the dark history of Commander Zhang and then commits suicide.

In the novel, Bai Xiaonian is just a tool, serving as a mouthpiece for Jin, Wu, Li and Gu, and he doesn't have many roles.

The ending of the original version of "The Sound of Wind" is quite shocking.

Gu Xiaomeng's narration:

I'm in purgatory leaving this record

I just hope my family and Sister Yu can forgive my decision at this moment.

But I firmly believe that you will understand my intentions
My dears, I am so cruel to you.
Because the nation is at the brink of extinction
I can only risk my life
Save in case
My body is about to perish
The soul will be with you
The enemy will not understand that Laogui Laoqiang is not a person but a spirit and a belief.

The narration at the end is really shocking.

The problem is that Gu Xiaomeng is an old ghost, and there is a lot of dramatic conflict, but it is impossible.

Her father has a close relationship with Wang.

It’s not that she couldn’t be an undercover agent of our party with this identity.

But with this identity she doesn't have to die.

Put aside the logical irrationality.

Gu Xiaomeng is the daughter of a rich family who has a close relationship with Wang. Would she be a representative of the old ghost who is not afraid of sacrifice?

Are they confused?
Give the highlights to the group represented by Gu Xiaomeng.

Let’s change the angle.

Does the shock of the ending come from the shock of Gu Xiaomeng’s sacrifice of her identity, or from the shock of this fearless act of sacrifice?

Or perhaps it is countless such sacrifices that bring about the shock of the movie.

Is it really okay to give such a highlight to Gu Xiaomeng?
The old ghost played by Shen Santong is the same as in the original novel, played by Li Ningyu.

In the movie version, first, Gu Xiaomeng committed suicide to save Wu Zhiguo, who was seriously injured during interrogation, and then sent out the information; second, Gu Xiaomeng asked to die and used her own body as a second line of insurance.

If you think about it carefully, this design still has many loopholes.

It cannot be explained by saturation rescue.

Times are different.

We can carry out saturation rescue now, but at that time, there were really no conditions, so we just had to fight for that little bit of probability.

The original work is much more reasonable.

In order to send an urgent piece of information out of Qiuzhuang, Li Ningyu had to sacrifice himself.

Eventually, she committed suicide by taking poison, leaving behind a drawing with Morse code written on it. Gu Xiaomeng then reported her, allowing her to escape and deliver the plastic shell of stomach medicine containing the intelligence, thus actually transmitting the intelligence.

Until the end, the enemy did not know her true identity.

The information was sent out through Lao Bie.

That is the cleaner played by Ni Dahong in the movie. He was targeted early on in both the original novel and the movie, but was not arrested. It was this loophole that was used to send the information out before he was arrested.

When the intelligence was sent out, Li Ningyu was already dead. She used her death to exchange for an opportunity to send out the intelligence.

The original movie "The Sound of Wind" cannot be said to be bad in today's society.

But there are rifts in many places.

Sometimes there are ideals, sometimes there aren't.

Sometimes a character knows what sacrifice is, and sometimes he doesn't.

In some places, people feel very identified with it, but in other places, it feels awkward.

Why does this split occur?

This involves the different ideas of the original author Mecca, Gao Qunsu, Chen Guofu and other main creators.

Shen Santong asked Jiang Wei to direct the film because he hoped to keep it consistent.

Jiang Wei asked: "Who are you going to ask to play the role in this play?"

Shen Santong said: "Takeda can't be too handsome, nor too ugly. If he's too handsome, he'll turn a Japanese soldier into the hero of an idol drama. He can't be too ugly either. If he's too ugly, there's no real ugliness. It's best if people naturally hate him."

"If it's Wu Zhiguo, he should be a tough guy."

"The selling point of this drama is Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng."

"For this drama to be successful, Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng must have feelings for each other, love and hate each other, and Gu Xiaomeng, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, must be shocked by Li Ningyu's choice."

Jiang Wei asked: "Do you have any ideas?"

Shen Santong nodded.
