"Lance, you think Hardigan's ending is not suicide, but evil. In order to protect Nancy, he began to kill innocent people..." Frank's voice came from the other end of the phone excitedly, and couldn't wait to take out the inspiration he had just captured and share with Lance.`
It has been a week since Lance took the adaptation rights of "City of Sin" in his hands. Many things have happened in this week, and the most exciting thing is the news that Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein fought at a party. Since it was a private party, the news was only spread in the circle and no evidence was left.
However, Dorothy Wright told Lance very firmly that it was true, "I heard that because of Harvey, Quentin missed an important work, which made him angry. I always thought Quentin was preparing for 'Kill Bill 2', but I never heard of him planning other projects."
Strictly speaking, this project belongs to Robert Rodriguez, not Quentin. If it is Quentin, it is actually a missed one. With his current status, there is no shortage of projects at all. But it is precisely because of Robert, he missed the best opportunity because of Quentin, which made Quentin angry. Loyalty is even more important to Quentin than women.
The project of "City of Sin" is still strictly confidential and has not leaked any news. The main reason is that Lance now must devote himself to the post-production of "killing with a knife" and the script adaptation of "City of Sin". He needs absolute investment and does not want any disturbance, nor does Ryan Cavalug and others need to be unwilling to trouble. Therefore, Lance did not speak, Frank did not speak, and Robert and Quentin would not speak. Therefore, even Dorothy did not know that the project she was discussing was in the hands of Lance.
Excitement and excitement are only temporary. In the past week, Frank and Lance began to devote themselves to the creation of the script. But this is obviously not an easy task. The two met and held two meetings, exchanging and discussing their ideas and ideas, hoping to build the script, but the progress is still slow, and there is a bottleneck in character structure setting.`
Lance sat in the driver's seat. Just less than a mile away from the place where he and Frank met, Frank couldn't wait to call again, and he could clearly feel that Frank was full of enthusiasm for the film adaptation, which formed a polar contrast with the previous tough repulsion reaction.
"If you say he started running for MPs, I find it interesting that it's just killing innocent people, which is too common in Sin City." Lance shook his head and denied Frank's proposal, "What's more, if you want to emphasize the story after Hardygan killed the yellow bastard, it will make the plot very procrastinate and destroy the overall rhythm of the movie."
Frank was not discouraged, but just thought seriously, "What you said makes sense. Actually, what I mean is to let Hardigan become evil after protecting Nancy..."
Frank was still talking, but this made Lance's thoughts surge. He suddenly remembered the ending of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", in order to establish the glorious image of the two-faced man. Batman let the sheriff cover up the fact that the two-faced man committed many crimes, making the two-faced man the Knight of Light, while Batman carries all the sins and becomes the Dark Knight. He is despised by people. This is not only about enduring humiliation, but also falls into the trap of the clown, defining himself as evil in order to achieve justice. This philosophical idea makes the whole story complete and sublimated.
Frank obviously means that. If Lance wants to make the ending of "Sin City" positive, it is actually a good choice. But the point is that Lance doesn't want to.
"Frank, what do you think of this? Hadigan rescued Nancy from the Yellow Beast, but was seriously injured. The Yellow Beast wanted to kill Hadigan, but at this time, Nancy rushed over without hesitation, and in grief and anger, he killed the Yellow Beast and smashed the Yellow Beast into a pile of mud. Hadigan knew that the Yellow Beast's MP father would never let the murderer who killed his son go, so Hadigan took the charge on himself, and after sending Nancy away, he chose to commit suicide."
Lance's words calmed down Frank and fell into deep thoughts.`
In the original story, Hadigan killed the yellow bastard. The yellow bastard was Roger, the son of the parliamentarian. Hadigan knew that the parliamentarian would never let the murderer go easily, so he chose to commit suicide, cut off all clues, allowing Nancy to fly away and live a truly happy life. The ending of sacrificing herself has a strong spirit of sacrifice, which is moving.
But this ending interprets more Hardigan's love for Nancy, which is inconsistent with the tone of the story of "City of Sin" and is not on the same track as Lance's sin trilogy.
Now, Lance changed the ending - Nancy's hands were covered with sinful blood, and she was finally no longer the white-winged angel of light, but a dark angel who gradually fell into hell. At the same time, in order to protect Nancy, Hadigan carried the crime on herself and committed suicide "fearing sin". This was not only a sacrifice, but also a kind of despair and cruelty.
Hadigan was like Batman in the "Dark Knight". He chose to fall into darkness in order to maintain justice, but Batman still carries the heavy responsibility of justice, so he regained the peak in the third part of the series "The Rise of the Dark Knight". But this is not the case with "Sin City". Hadigan chose to commit suicide with the name of sin and walked into the grave with sins that do not belong to him. This definitely raised the darkness and sorrow of "Sin City" to a new height.
In this way, who is left in the City of Sin? A group of prostitutes, a group of thugs, and a group of cockroaches. As the finale of the trilogy, "City of Sin" ending in such a desperate way is obviously more meaningful.
"Wow..." Frank couldn't help but sigh, then paused, and then exclaimed, "Wow. This sounds like a cool idea. I need to sort out my mind. I need a little time. Uh, call you later!"
After saying that, Frank hung up the phone directly, Lance threw his phone into the passenger seat. Then he fell into his own contemplation. Just now, it was just a burst of inspiration and all his thoughts were incomplete, so he needed to think further and repeatedly.
If it is defined just now, Hadigan seems to have become the party to justice again, which conflicts with the core idea of "defeating evil with evil" constructed by Lance...
Lance remembered a movie directed by Clint Eastwood, "The Perfect World". After the hero escaped from prison, he took a child as a hostage to survive, but during the process of getting along, the two of them had a relationship similar to father and son. In the end, the hero died to save the child.
So can Hardigan's setting be the same? He is not a good person, he is a dirty policeman, there is no doubt that the previous definition of the evil character continues. Haridigan is a complete criminal, but in Nancy, he found his conscience and finally chose to kill himself. Of course, he cannot be defined as a good person because of his protection of Nancy. He is still a bad person with blood on his hands, but this relationship seems particularly different.
While thinking, Lance realized that he had arrived at his destination, "Roberto's Garden" - it was the annual family gathering moment.
After Lance found a parking space, he quickly got out of the car. The enthusiastic smile of the on-duty manager Jack Newman soon came into view, "Mr. Strello. Your good guys are waiting for your arrival." Then he took the initiative to lead the way and walked into the restaurant. Lance soon saw three men sitting around the table.
Gao Wen was saying something in a slight way, and Ian sat next to him with a smile. He became the best listener, while Theo sat quietly opposite Ian, his eyes falling on the two people in front of him, but his hands were placed on the table, and he could vaguely feel the tight muscles under the shirt, as if he was a protector. He was always alert to all the dangers around him.
"Sorry, I'm late." Lance quickly walked to the dining table, touched his three brothers with his fists, and an apology smile appeared on his face.
"You must have forgotten time because of work again." Gao Wen pointed at Lance with both index fingers, and said jokingly like two pistols.
Lance cooperated to raise his hands, "I admit to being guilty." The helpless attitude of surrender and innocent eyes immediately made Gao Wen laugh happily, and even Jack, who was standing beside him, couldn't help laughing.
Ian turned his head and looked at Jack, "You can start serving. By the way, please give us a glass of honey water."
Jack pushed back and nodded politely. He knew that this cup of honey water was specially for Reims.
Lance sat down beside Theo and cast a look in guilt, "You know I didn't mean it..." Theo tugged the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes drooped slightly, and he shook his head, "There is always a reason at work, right?" The cold words immediately turned Lance's expression into a bitter face, and raised his hand again with a frown and made a surrender, "You know there will be another time."
This sentence made Theo roll his eyes speechlessly, "Then what else do you explain?" After saying that, he put a small candy basket in front of Lance in front of him.
The expression on Lance's face couldn't help but bloom. He reached out to grab a candy, skillfully peeled off the wrapping paper, threw it into his mouth, and then said, "So, what were you just talking about?"
"Gao Wen said that a newcomer came into the team and was late for training because he attended the party. All the coaching teams already knew, but he opened his eyes and lies, but he was kicked directly to the training team." Ian finished summarizing Gao Wen's long speech in just a few words and finished speaking lightly.
Lance pursed his lips and closed his jaw, "Oh."
Gao Wen widened his eyes, "The process is much more exciting than this, okay? This is the thing..."
