Chapter 241 The Legend

The biggest selling point of the low-cost film "Rail" is the action scenes. Although some people say that there is no plot and only fight, Chen Tian doesn't think so.

The large number of action scenes in the original film take up most of the time in the movie, and it seems that many things have not been explained in detail, but in fact, the plot should be paved, all the things exist, but the audience is pulled away by the exciting fight.

The plot of "Raid" is played back in my mind again. This film that can be summarized in one sentence tells the story of: a group of special police were sent to fight drugs, but ended up falling into a trap and had to fight their lives to escape.

Such a simple sentence is the essence of the whole film, and Chen Tian does not intend to change such a simple plot.

The new "Raider" is still a similar plot, but Chen Tian will make many adjustments in details.

Like the old "Raider", Chen Tian will focus on the action scenes while strengthening the plot.

We will follow the example of "Rail" in order to show the action scenes as much as possible, and learn from the "Die Hard" mode, and adopt the lone hero mode from the first level to the 15th level.

However, such a lone hero mode is not new, and the fundamental reason why "Rail" attracted worldwide praise in later generations is the action scenes.

The Indonesian unique fighting method Silat included is one of the biggest contributors, and this fighting method is somewhat similar to Muay Thai.

They all emphasize the attack of legs and knee joints, grappling and throwing technical movements. These movements are not only very practical, but also make the fight feel ornamental while the punches make the adrenal hormone soar.

Coupled with the style of soundtrack and makeup effects, Chen Tian can still feel his blood rush when he thinks back.

Moreover, the film was shot in a semi-documentary style, which means that most fighting scenes, including people falling out, are shots in real life, without wires, no editing, and no frame count is lowered.

Chen Tian holds a certain skeptical view on this point, but Chen Tian is also ready to follow this. In fact, later generations of Zhen Zidan have appeared in his own films such semi-documentary style shots.

Chen Tian is planning to use this kind of shooting technique in the new "Rail". As for the fighting action, Chen Tian thinks that Donnie Yen's MMA mixed martial arts are very effective, especially in the fight with the Chinese star in "Sha Po Wolf".

On this basis, Chen Tian felt that combining the original film of "Raider" should be able to design the fight plot he wanted.

However, such plot design may be easy, but it is a big test for the actors.

The original film put the location in Indonesia, but Chen Tian did not intend to put the location in this way but placed it in another place.

However, Chen Tian was a little confused about this place, and he planned to put it in the Golden Triangle area.

The other is to put it in Hong Kong. Needless to say, people all over the world know what it means.

This will be consistent with the theme of the film and create the atmosphere you need.

However, another consideration, Chen Tian did not intend to give up. Hong Kong is not Hong Kong in later generations, but a certain place in Hong Kong.

This place is a slum in Hong Kong. Among all the slums in the world, this slum area is almost the most legendary.

However, this is not very well-known in China. However, it has been repeatedly mythized in the Western world and Japan.

This place is called Kowloon City. In some old Hong Kong films, Chen Tian once heard of this place. Later, he became interested in studying it and learned about the status of this place in the world.

Unlike the slums in other parts of the world, Kowloon Walled City is located in Hong Kong, where the economy is highly developed.

Kowloon City Walled City was a besieged city located in the current Kowloon City during the Hong Kong colonial era. There is a boundary street north of Mong Kok, which divides the Kowloon Peninsula into two horizontally.

The south part of the street is called Kowloon, and the north part of the street is the New Territories. The east part of the Boundary Street leads to Kai Tak Airport. To the north of Kai Tak Airport is the famous Kowloon Walled City, which is not controlled by China, Hong Kong and British.

Kowloon Walled Park is the former Hong Kong government, a three-region zone between the United Kingdom and the mainland. When the ceasing treaty was signed, it stated that this piece of land located in Hong Kong still belongs to China, but the Chinese government does not want to go deep into the place to disturb it, or be regarded as a provocation, and gradually becomes an anarchic nest.

Drug dealing, smuggling, murder and robbery are constantly causing chaos, and even attracted fugitives from all over the world to come here.

This directly led to the siege of only 6 acres becoming a world-famous slum, coupled with its unique architectural style and neon lights that seem to make the city prosperous. Under the night sky, it will create a sci-fi apocalyptic atmosphere.

In the eyes of Westerners, Jiulong City Walled City has the mystery of Far Eastern civilization. The towering dangerous buildings without seeing the sun look like they collapse at any time, the doomsday ruins, neon lights and nearly 100% anarchy.

All this makes Jiulong Village a true portrayal of the doomsday version of the future in the eyes of the West, and makes the West extremely fascinated.

It was eventually highly romanticized and futuristic, and even made Kowloon Village a major theme of many science fiction, horror and supernatural cultures in the West and Japan.

This place has also become one of the choices in Chen Tianxin's "Raider". In contrast, Chen Tian prefers Kowloon City.

After all, in the film, Chen Tian is preparing to mostly use yellow people to perform, and using Kowloon City will undoubtedly be more distinctive.

However, if you choose this way, the shooting location is not a good choice.

It is not easy to find such a place now, let alone achieve the effect Chen Tian wants.

If the single one is in the Golden Triangle area, Chen Tian can find many places to shoot.

Write the names of two places at the top of the manuscript, and Chen Tian began to write the script.

The script is not complicated, it is easy in comparison, and the plot is so simple that a few sentences can be written in detail.

The most important thing is the action scenes and actors. Although the action is the most important, Chen Tian is not going to use actors who have no acting skills.

In less than an hour, Chen Tian completed all the plot outlines, with only one piece of paper in the whole script, and even fewer lines.

Chen Tian is preparing to ask David Ellison and others for their opinions on how to choose the shooting location.

In my heart, Chen Tian is more inclined to the Kowloon City. Compared with the Golden Triangle, Jiulong City was demolished ten years ago, which is more legendary.

If this legendary label is put on, it will undoubtedly attract some people to the theater.
