Chapter 129 The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled
Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk.
This is an individual word, yber means control, and punk means rebellion.
In 1983, Bruce Boske created a short story called "Cyberpunk", which brought the word into the public eye for the first time. In the following 40 years, as a science fiction subculture category, it triggered a very rich wave of cultural movements.
For a long time, Cyberpunk was keen on exploring his own philosophical issues, such as:
"Does the copyist count as a human?"
"When your memory is digitized and can be transferred to another body, is this person or you?"
“Is memory equal to soul?”
These ideas have a very awesome connotation in the early and mid-Cyber series, and the audience is also addicted to it. But today, please, it’s outdated!
Today's cyberpunk, if you still discuss the above things, it will only make people feel old-fashioned.
Because after decades of baptism of works, Cyber’s worldview has long been formed. If you take it out and say it is Cyberpunk, then that’s OK!
Zhuang Zhou didn't intend to discuss any philosophy. That thing was so popular but not so popular. He just wanted to make a good movie: the protagonist of the lower-level identity → was persecuted → obtained a cheat → investigated the murderer → took revenge and killed!
That's all.
Of course, you still have to add private goods, otherwise he won’t go to Netflix.
Night, hotel.
Zhuang Zhou sat in front of the computer desk in the luxurious bedroom, knocking on the laptop:
"The absolute protagonist is a big baby, a hawker, no father or mother, and depends on each other for life."
"The protagonist, Lu Ke, is the policeman, and the leader of the real identity of the resistance organization."
"Mad Scientist No. 1, Mad Scientist No. 2, Boss Rose Hotel, Artificial Intelligence, Mad Sword 3, 4, Gangster Killer, Mad Sword 5, Mad Sword 1's best friend's mother, Madonna of the second female lead, Madonna of the third female lead …"
There are many characters, and he plans to make a series.
Then there is casting.
…………
On the set, Shang Tielong just finished the show.
This is a main theme TV series with excellent team and comfortable filming.
He is in his 70s and has countless works, such as "The Unknown Love", "The Qiao Family Courtyard", "The End of the Guandong", "The Love of Mountains and Seas", "The Grandmaster of the Generation", etc. He has a low reputation and a low-key and powerful person.
In recent years, the old man may have taken on several Internet movies in order to make some extra money, but the main force is still traditional film and television dramas.
He was resting in a chair, and an assistant next to him took care of him, pouring some hot water and so on. Suddenly the phone rang, and the assistant answered and chatted for a while, saying, "Teacher, there is a big internet celebrity looking for you."
"What drama?"
Shang Tielong was drinking water, but it sounded that there was no fluctuation in the Internet.
"For science fiction subjects, I'll ask you to play a villain leader. The film crew is the team that films "Red Tide".
"Um?"
Shang Tielong was stunned. "Red Tide" was too popular, and he had seen it a few times. He didn't understand some things when he was old, but he could understand the Tiankun number and the Great Northwest.
That's enough.
So when he heard that it was the team of "Red Tide" and the big villain on the Internet, he thought there wouldn't be too many scenes. He didn't even ask to read the script and said directly: "I agree!"
"Okay, I'll reply now."
...
"Hey, is it Teacher Li Naiwen?"
"We have a drama, and it's the Internet Master... Hey, don't rush to refuse. We are the producer of "Red Tide" and are preparing for a new film. I think the role of this scientist is very suitable for you, so you can at least take a look first."
...
Capital, residence.
Qin Pei, who is almost 80 years old, is making soup.
Wearing a home clothes and a printed apron, her hands and feet are quick. She has black and white hair, and her face is drooping, but she has no aging spirit and full of energy.
An experienced and capable actor like this will never lack filming. Because his work focus is in the mainland, he simply bought a house in Beijing.
His father is from Suzhou and his mother is from Beijing. He moved to Hong Kong since childhood and spoke authentic Beijing films. His original surname is Jiang and Qin Pei is his stage name.
There is a younger brother named David Jiang, and a half-brother named Er Dongsheng.
Three famous brothers in the entertainment industry.
At this moment, Qin Pei started to fire, cooked soup, hummed a small song and read the script. The scene he had just made an appointment, letting himself play a hotel owner, not a real person, but a holographic projection of artificial intelligence.
After experiencing the crazy crazy experience of old Hong Kong films, he was not surprised by any subject matter, but just considered it a regular job.
...
Hongkong.
Tang Yingying is already in her 40s.
This is one of the most familiar faces of TVB. She has played a mistress, a vixen and a bad woman for her whole life. Now she has two daughters and lives a life of taking care of her husband and children.
Her husband is Qian Jiale.
She joined TVB in 1995 and is still in TVB. She is from a wealthy family and does not want to make money, she only likes to act. Of course, she has reduced her workload and is family-centered.
"Do you think I'll take this drama?"
“Where did you take a photo?”
"Hong Kong, there are not many scenes, so I play a mother-in-law."
"Wow, the big baby starring, I can't make it in the mainland and then go back to Hong Kong? Then someone will definitely support me! If you want to pick it up, just accept it, forget it if you don't want to pick it up."
"No, not only me, but you are also looking for you as a martial arts coach!"
...
Canada, home.
Li Qihong came back from running, cooked breakfast for her children, and then her leisure time was her own.
Yang Paifeng in "The Female General of the Yang Family", the little pepper in red in "The Two Glorys", as well as "The Street of the Stormtroopers", "Self-combing", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves 2", etc.
What imprints the audience's hearts most is Guo Xiang in Louis Koo's version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
Her family was poor and she went out to work at a young age. She ran for the Hong Kong Miss and entered the entertainment industry. She was once popular. Unfortunately, she suffered from depression later. When she returned to her cultivation, the environment changed and she gradually couldn't get any show.
Her last drama was a guest appearance in "Beijing Meets Seattle".
Now in her 50s, she settled in Canada. Her skin is loose, her eyes are wrinkled, her face is spotted, and she is not taking care of her without makeup. For many years, the audience thought she had left the circle, but in fact she didn't.
She said on social platforms:
"Many comments say that I'm old, I'm really old! Time flies so fast, and I've always wanted to continue my acting career, but I just don't have a job to look for.
Maybe I am old and have no suitable roles. I live far away, so the producer doesn’t want to waste the air tickets…”
Fortunately, her family is very happy now, so she will send the child away. She was watching TV, and suddenly heard the prompt sound on the computer. When she went over, she saw that, she opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth. She looked surprised like the little Guo Xiang.
"Someone asked me to film!"
…………
Zhuang Zhou found several mainland actors and several Hong Kong actors.
The unified feature is cheap. Li Naiwen's pay may be higher, but there are not many roles, so I can talk about it.
This time, it can be said that people (old) have (weak) and can help them (ill) and have (disabled)!
Zhuang Zhou was eyeing the big baby, in addition to her own excellent standards, there were also the Hong Kong capital factors behind her. Although the Hong Kong entertainment industry declined, it was an important part of her big plan.
Chapter completed!
