Xu Zhengdao looked around and found that Tian Jingshi were discussing the script seriously, and he didn't seem to hear the sound. He felt that he might have heard it wrong, but at this moment, the sound rang in his mind again: "Connect the god-level network and the system is implanted."

"The system is successfully implanted. The system is officially launched. The first-order task is officially launched: a bad movie is successfully transformed within one year..."

After a brief shock, Xu Zhengdao jumped up: "Who is talking, what the hell?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Zhengdao and looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was doing.

Tian Jingxiong frowned and said, "Zhengdao, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Zhengdao was about to speak when the voice rang in his mind again: "Serious warning: You can communicate with others normally, but you cannot leak information about the bad movie Terminator system to them in any way, otherwise it will be erased by the system!"

Xu Zhengdao felt a cold air coming straight from his tail vertebrae and thought, "Elude, what kind of ghost system information will be erased?" What kind of information is really fake?"

The voice sounded again: "It's true. If the relevant information of the bad movie Terminator system is leaked, it will be erased by the system."

Xu Zhengdao was slightly stunned and asked in his heart: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

The voice replied, "Yes, I know what you're thinking."

Xu Zhengdao said in his heart: "What are you?"

The voice said, "I'm not a thing, I'm the bad movie Terminator system."

Tian Jingshi saw Xu Zhengdao stunned there, and he didn't move, like a wooden carving, and hurriedly said, "Zhengdao, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Zhengdao came to his senses and saw everyone looking at him with a fool's eyes, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Well, I have a little different view of the script, I don't know if I can say it?"

Chen Yimou laughed at this: "Of course, I invite you here just to hear everyone's opinion. Since you have different opinions, that's great. Tell me out quickly and let's listen carefully."

Tian Jingshi nodded: "Tell me what you have any ideas, don't hide it."

Xu Zhengdao cleared his throat, organized the language in his heart, and said: "The script of "The Golden Armor in the City" is very solid, the story is wonderful, and it also has ideological connotations. If it is made into an art film, the response should be good, but if it is made into a commercial blockbuster, it may be greatly criticized, even greater than the criticisms encountered by "Heroes" and "Ten-Ambushes".

Chen Yimou was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Why do you say that?"

Xu Zhengdao explained: "When we were discussing, we talked about why "Hero" and "Ten-Ambushes" were scolded. Director, you said that "Hero" was scolded to sing praises for Qin Shihuang, and we were considered to have a problem with the position; "Ten-Ambushes" was scolded to be a script problem, and there were loopholes in the script. I think your point of view is correct, but it is not completely correct. The critics and literary and artistic circles are scolding these two movies because of these, but ordinary audiences are scolding these two movies because of this."

Chen Yimou asked, "What is that?"

Xu Zhengdao said directly: "I didn't see what they wanted to see."

Chen Yimou said in surprise: "What does this mean?"

Xu Zhengdao said slowly: "I think the classification method of movies is divided into commercial films. The classification method of art films is inaccurate. In addition to experimental films, art films are actually commercial and have commercial elements. I think the classification method for more accurate film classification should be divided into genre films and non-genre films. In my opinion, genre films are a contract established between creators and audiences, and audiences will have some particularly strong expectations to watch genre films. For example, when you watch horror films, you hope to be scared; when you watch comedy films, you hope to be amused; when you watch action films, you aim for action scenes; when you watch art films, you want to be profound and artistic.

When "Hero" and "Ten-Faced Ambush" were promoted, they were regarded as martial arts films. What do the audience hope to see when watching martial arts films? Of course, they hope to see heroes punish evil and eliminate evil, and the promiscuous samurai. This is a characteristic brought by martial arts novels, but there is no heroic righteousness in "Hero" and "Ten-Faced Ambush" and there is no heroic righteousness, nor the promiscuous samurai. Moreover, it is all tragedy. In "Hero" Wuming died, the sword Feixue died; in "Ten-Faced Ambush", the little girl died. The audience walked into the cinema with expectations, but the inner needs were not met, so they must be dissatisfied. It is not surprising that "Hero" and "Ten-Faced Ambush" were scolded.

To give a simple example, Zhou Xingchi is a box office elixir, but there are also movies with poor box office, such as "A Chinese Odyssey" and "A Chinese Odyssey". Needless to say, "A Chinese Odyssey" has become a classic in the hearts of many people. Just talking about "A Chinese Odyssey". This movie has a box office of only 16 million, which can be said to be a crushing defeat and has a very bad reputation. In fact, as far as the movie itself is concerned, "A Chinese Odyssey" is not bad. If you watch it simply as a horror movie, it can even be said to be a good movie.

The reason for the double-loss of "Returning the Soul" box office reputation is that the audience watched Zhou Xingchi's movie for comedy, hoping to be amused, but the movie has little funny content, but it is extremely scary. A group of viewers who came for comedy were so scared that they pee after watching the movie. What do you think they would think? It must be that there were so many bad reviews, and the box office also suffered unprecedented failures.

Back to "Golden Armor", this story is a tragedy that is even more tragic, darker and more depressing than "Heroes" and "Ten-sided Ambush". Such a story with a clear historical background and heavy theme is not suitable for the juggling style of martial arts films. When the audience walked into the cinema with a sense of entertainment, they saw a plot like father and son, husband and wife, and brother and sister, how would they feel? I think if they were filmed according to the current script and when the movie was released, the scolding of "Golden Armor" would probably be ten times more than that of "Heroes" and "Ten-sided Ambush", or even more."

Chen Yimou stared at Xu Zhengdao in a daze, and was completely shocked by his words.

Everyone else at the scene also looked at Xu Zhengdao in amazement, but he didn't expect that he could say such a thing.

Xu Zhengdao saw everyone staring at him in amazement, and felt a little proud. Unexpectedly, the great director and the great screenwriters were shocked by me. It seems that I was born to be a savor. Wow, kaka, kaka! He smiled and said modestly: "I've finished saying it. Let all seniors laugh."

Chen Yimou turned to look at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhao Xiaoding frowned and said, "I think it makes sense. "Golden Armor" is indeed darker and more depressing."

Wang Bin nodded slightly: "I think "Golden Armor" is darker and more depressing than "Thunderstorm". The blood vortex that is not emphasized in "Thunderstorm" has been amplified, and the plot is closely related to this theme from beginning to end. The brightness and excessiveness in "Thunderstorm" are gone, and the plot is intertwined and makes people unable to breathe. A large number of elements such as chaos, conspiracy, poisoning, assassination, etc. are added, making the story seem extremely cold. Isn't this what we want? In this way, we reflect the killing of human nature by power."

Screenwriter Wu Nan said: "We deliberately erase the bright and bright things in order to make the whole story more cruel and to show the erasure of power on human nature more deeply. If the story becomes harmonious, it will lose its criticality."

Chen Yimou felt that everyone was right, but Xu Zhengdao's words also made sense. He looked at Xu Zhengdao and asked, "If you were asked to change the script, how would you change the story?"

Xu Zhengdao pondered for a moment and gave his own answer: "A few days ago, I saw an interview with Wu Yusen. When filming the movie "Face Change", Wu Yusen initially proposed the ending, asking the male protagonist to take the villain's child home, but was unanimously opposed by the boss and the screenwriter. After the movie's preview, the audience gave "Face Change" a score of only 33 points, one-sided negative reviews. Many people were asking what happened to the child and why they didn't take him home. The boss realized that Wu Yusen was right, so he asked Wu Yusen to make an emergency reshoot. After re-editing, the film's evaluation soared to 88 points, which received unanimous praise.

Wallace, the male lead in the movie "Brave Heart", died in the end, but under his spirit, Scotland won independence. Although he died, the purpose of the struggle was achieved and he was still the winner. The same is true for your "Hero". Although Wuming died, his goal was achieved. Wuming was not really going to kill the King of Qin, but to tell the King of Qin to put the world first. After the King of Qin understood, Wuming died calmly, and he was also the winner. But "Golden Armor" did not have such content. In the end, everyone was still desperate and could not see hope. Therefore, I think if "Golden Armor" wants to be changed, the ending must give the audience hope and make the audience feel that the protagonist has won. Even if the protagonist dies in the end, as long as the audience feels that he wins, everything is not a problem."

Wang Bin disagrees with Xu Zhengdao's point of view: "At the end of "Golden Armor", the queen knocked over the poison bowl and resisted. She no longer cared about the imperial power and throne, and became rich in front of others. She became herself and resisted feudal patriarchy. She was the winner."

Xu Zhengdao felt that Wang Bin's words made sense, and thought for a while and said, "You are right. In the end, the queen did resist, but her resistance made people unable to let go, and there was no pleasure of winning. At least after watching it, my inner emotions were not released. I think the biggest problem with the role of the queen is herself. If you look at it from the perspective of the bystander, I will sympathize with the queen, but commercial films pay attention to the sense of substitution, and the audience must take the lead. Can the audience be substitution of the role of the queen? The queen is not a wife and cheats, falls in love with her adopted son, and after the matter is exposed, he encourages her son to rebel, resulting in the death of her two sons. How many people can take themselves into this role? The male protagonist is also difficult for the audience to enter, and this character is even more annoying than the queen. How can the audience like it if there is no sense of substitution in commercial films? I think it is possible to change the perspective and let the second son Yuan be the protagonist, and this character is brilliant, and the audience will feel more substitution."

Chen Yimou frowned slightly when he heard this. In 1992, when he and Gong Li traveled to the Great Wall together, he made a wish to make Gong Li the queen in the future, but unexpectedly, the two broke up after filming "Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge". He never forgot his promise with Gong Li to let Gong Li play the queen. "Golden Armor" was tailored for Gong Li, and it was his wish he had treasured in his heart for many years. This drama is a movie of the heroine, and the perspective cannot be changed, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Chen Yimou shook his head firmly: "No, no matter how you look, you can't change your perspective. Let's talk about other things, are there any other problems with the script?"

Seeing that Chen Yimou was unwilling to change his perspective, Xu Zhengdao shook his head in his heart, and the characters remained unchanged, and the biggest problem in "Golden Armor" was not solved, and he would definitely be scolded miserably in the future. However, Chen Yimou was unwilling to change it, and he had no choice: "The role of Little Prince is also problematic. He assassinated the eldest prince and wanted to usurp the throne. This is really stupid. He would not do this as long as he had a little brain. He was underage, and his father and brother were both masters. What would he use to usurp the throne? It was really stupid. I think the normal way is to stand up and safeguard his father's authority and maintain feudal ethics, so that he could gain the favor of his father, become the crown prince, and in the future he might become the king."
