Chapter 1831

"Jurassic Park" series restart project, which is after "Star Trek", and Langley emphasizes why Owen can become the protagonist of disaster rescue. The problem lies in that the focus is applicable to the first movie, and the second movie is a bit of nonsense, not to mention the remote third movie.

Obviously, when Chris parrat played the leading role, Universal Pictures was not considering the sequel at all; Otherwise, they can add more ink, between the leading actor and the heroine, and between the leading actor and his friends - these contents are already effective tricks for commercial films: even if the earth is destroyed, the leading actor and the heroine will not forget to love each other.

If you want to take a profound route, you can choose war and faith as the starting point. Owen is a former soldier. He has personally experienced the cruelty and blood of war, and he has also experienced the pain and cruelty of death, which makes him have a different understanding of life and life.

Owen and Clare become each other's predecessors. The real core is that Owen's deep pain can not be healed, and the distrust caused by it pushes Clare away; And Claire also realized Owen's self alienation, so he refused to compromise and left rationally.

It is precisely because of his inability to find fetters in human intimate emotional relationship that Owen subconsciously begins to get close to animals, and his inner kindness and softness make him step by step close to Velociraptor, successfully build a bridge of trust with them, and become mutual dependence in crisis.

So when he learned that someone was trying to turn dinosaurs into weapons, his hatred of war and his closeness to Velociraptors made Owen take the initiative not to be beaten passively, but to attack on his own initiative. He needed to protect his faith and stick to his last harbor.

Starting from the war and belief, there are many possibilities for the follow-up story to evolve. It can enrich the image of Owen bit by bit, especially the interaction between Owen and the Velociraptor, Owen and Claire, which fully has the ability to derive the theme of the story to a deeper level.

The most direct reference work is Christopher Nolan's "Batman" series, which uses Bruce Wayne's understanding of family and love to establish the "dilemma" between justice and evil, individual and collective, and then focuses on the theme of "Dark Knight", It shows that every superhero must sacrifice his own tragedy core in order to save the world“ The design of "Jurassic world" is similar.

Of course, for commercial films, the director can also choose the narrative style according to his own style, and take the dark Department, so it's a bit heavy and sad, as is the case with Christopher Nolan; Go bright, then the rhythm will be controlled more light, marvel series movies are like this - as for the connotation and details are all left to the actor's performance to complete.

It must be noted that the deep theme is not necessarily bitter hatred! This is often easy to become a misunderstanding. For commercial films, the most important thing is the narrative style, from the image to the light to the lens, and finally the lines and performance style, and so on, which plays a vital role in the overall tone of the film.

So, how should such content be placed in the commercial film, but avoid destroying the rhythm of the film? At the same time, can you maintain the director's personal style?

Similarly, we can learn from "Iron Man" - for example, when Owen and Claire meet for the first time, Claire only needs to add "I don't care about you and your problems", "your problems are not solved yet", and so on, suggesting that the relationship between the two people is far from simple.

For another example, in the interaction between Owen and Velociraptor, a shot is added to show Owen's softness, which is different from his usual giggle; Another example is that in the face of crisis, Owen's expression and good action hesitated, which seemed to wake up the bad memory, but then became firm again.

It doesn't need to change the structure and narrative rhythm of the film, just need a sentence or a shot. Through the construction of the camera screen, it combines the character image with the story structure, and leaves more aftertaste space for the audience, and makes the edges and corners of the characters become three-dimensional, which has the possibility of derivation. For commercial films, this is enough.

This is enough to plant a seed in the film and leave more space for the development of sequel film.

However, it is easy to say, but difficult to operate. For actors, understanding and presentation is not a problem; But for directors, they need to take into account rhythm control, lens construction, content output and many other aspects. How to find a balance in terms of connotation mining and climax foreshadowing is by no means easy. Otherwise, commercial films will not be so difficult to make. Besides Marvel films, DC films are still struggling to find their own business model, which is the best proof.

But Langley is an actor, not a director; What Langley and Colin discussed was only the script, not the shooting, so things were much simpler.

After several times of discussion, Owen's image frame was finally determined: "war and faith" became the driving core of the whole story. Colin still hopes to discuss more profound and larger propositions in the sequel film, taking dinosaurs as the starting point to show human's desire for war and power, And further integrate Colin's reflection on human and nature into it, and hope that the "Jurassic world" can continue the exploration that the original "Jurassic Park" has not been able to complete——

Otherwise, after the restart of the series, there will be no new ideas and no depth. Even if the first film is successful, the crew will soon get into trouble and return to the old way of the previous one, unable to really move the audience.

The structure of the whole play has been adjusted, and the description of Owen has increased significantly. Because of the theme setting of "war and faith", the characters can be more closely connected with the main plot, and the narrative core becomes more compact and cohesive, so that the story has been "upgraded".

This is the first time that lanli, as a producer, has really directly participated in the pre production process of the film works. In the script, lanli's wisdom crystallizes. Although he can't sign his name in the screenwriting column, this is a unique experience different from the past.

"Jurassic world" is the final name.
