v2 Chapter 716： Shouldn't make trouble

"Why can't "fury road" be released in our market?"

A slightly questioning voice came from an office, "I know the scale of the film is a bit large, and some scenes are bloody, but now it is the 21st century. We should no longer look at the film industry from an old-school perspective. Moreover, the director of the film, Duke Rosenberg, is one of the top directors in the world. His film has always been fairly fair, and he has never attacked us with innuendo!"

"Cough...cough..."

The voice of clearing his throat sounded, and then another person said unhurriedly, "It is inevitable that this movie cannot be shown here.,"

Probably because the other party is heavy enough, he rarely explained a few words, "It's not because it is bloody, it is not because it is violent, and it is not because it does not have our capital injection, but because its spiritual core is quite wrong! "

"The spiritual core is wrong?" The person who asked the first question was obviously confused.

"Don't you see it? "Furious Road" actually tells a story about'Why do I listen to you anyway and everyone can't live anyway'? This is almost the same as the history of dynasties, tyranny. There must be anti-thief below!"

Hearing this, the person who asked the question was speechless, and he knew that the thoughts of both sides were completely on two planes, and he simply closed his mouth.

There is no need to fight anymore, because such a reason cannot be argued at all.

Perhaps it was intentional or unintentional. The news spread out without knowing how. Duke has countless supporters on this land, which immediately aroused their dissatisfaction, and it is not only these people, but the folks have a certain It can be said that this department has a lot of grievances, and suddenly a wave of criticism has been set off. Especially on the Internet, some of Duke's fans have compiled countless jokes.

Perhaps the starting point of a certain department is indeed good, but it is also a recognized fact that it is too rigid and has no standardized standards.

On a well-known website, a post ridiculing this department was topped, and the number of hits exceeded one million in just a few days.

"A famous director wanted to imitate "Star Wars" to make a sci-fi blockbuster "Defense of the Earth", so he wrote the script. He also found investment and was ready to start shooting. Of course, it must be submitted to relevant departments for review before shooting. He sent the script outline to the relevant departments."

"This is what the outline says. After many years, the earth has been in chaos and turmoil. The Martians took advantage of the chaos and attacked the earth. At the time of crisis, space captain Thoreau and the last samurai Luke formed a resistance coalition to fight against Mars. Human offense. With the help of Princess Rhea, robots, and Master Juda, they used the'force' to defeat the Martian's'dark power'. In one fell swoop, they broke through the Martian spacecraft and saved the earth."

"The famous director quickly received a reply from the relevant department. The reply wrote: Since the earth is already in chaos and turmoil, what is the situation in our country?"

"The famous director immediately replied to the relevant department: Our country is the same."

"Relevant departments were furious: impossible, under the leadership of our leaders, our country will never be chaotic!"

"The famous director was dumbfounded and could only reply: By then, all political groups would no longer exist."

"Relevant departments sent a severe question: You are so bold! How dare you curse the leader's collapse?"

"The famous director broke out in a cold sweat and quickly replied: You have misunderstood. This is just a fantasy. It is not true."

"Relevant departments warn: even if it is not true, it will cause unnecessary associations to the audience. Influencing social stability, can you bear the charge?"

"The famous director felt frustrated and had to modify the script. A few days later, he submitted the newly revised script outline."

"The outline is like this: After many years, the earth has been in chaos and turbulence, but our country is a prosperous and prosperous scene. The people live and work in peace and happiness. However, the Martians suddenly attacked the earth. At the moment of crisis, space captain Thoreau and the last samurai Luke formed a resistance coalition to fight the Martian attack. With the help of Princess Rhea, robots, and Master Juda, they defeated the Martians with the'Force' 'Dark Force'. It broke through the Martian spacecraft in one fell swoop and saved the earth."

"Soon, he received a reply from the relevant department. The reply wrote: What is the identity of Thoreau and Luke?"

"The famous director replied: They are heroes who save the earth."

"Relevant departments question again: Is the earth saved by these people? Where are our leaders, the army, and the masses? Where are our great...?

"The famous director answered patiently: human beings have almost been defeated by the Martians, and in the end it was a few of them who had gone through all kinds of difficulties and finally beat the Martians."

"Relevant departments severely reprimanded: You are promoting individual heroism! Contempt for the existence of group power! It will cause serious social impact. Fight back and rewrite!"

"The famous director has no choice but to change it. After thinking hard for several days, it finally changed."

"The new outline is like this: After many years, the earth has been in chaos and turmoil, but our country is a prosperous and prosperous scene, and the people live and work in peace and happiness. However, the Martians suddenly attacked the earth. In times of crisis, our country sent outstanding party member Thoreau and soldier Luke to form a resistance coalition to fight the Martian offensive. With the leadership’s wise decision-making and the help of the masses, they defeated Mars with the “force” The human'dark power' broke through the Martian spacecraft in one fell swoop and saved the earth."

"Soon, he received a reply from the relevant department. The relevant department said: Basically satisfied, but what are these'The Force' and the'Dark Force'?"

"The famous director explained: They are a kind of energy controlled by mind. This kind of power is very powerful and can be used to hit objects in the air. It has two sides, the bright side and the dark side..."

"The relevant departments immediately responded: How can this be done? This is feudal superstition! A crooked way! It does not conform to scientific facts! It will cause serious social impacts. The masses who don’t know the truth will believe it and the youth will imitate it, which will bring to minors. Serious negative impact. Fight back and rewrite!"

"The famous director vomited three liters of blood, and finally healed. There is no way, but it has to be changed.

After repeated revisions, the script outline that finally passed the review looks like this:

"Many years later, the earth has been in chaos and turmoil, but our country is a prosperous and prosperous scene, and the people live and work in peace and happiness. However, the Martians suddenly attacked the earth. In times of crisis, our country stood up. To turn the tide, the outstanding party member Thoreau and the soldier Luke formed a resistance coalition to fight against the Martian attack. With the leadership’s wise decision-making and the help of the broad masses, everyone worked together and used kitchen knives, sticks, sickles, axes and The Martians fought fiercely, defeated the Martians in one fell swoop, and saved the earth. In the end Luke joined the party honorably and Thoreau became a hero and model of people competing to learn. Since then, the earth has restored peace and people are living happily..."

The news that Fury Road failed to pass the censorship also spread to Warner Bros. The management of Warner Bros. was inevitably disappointed, but Duke naturally accepted this fact, and movies of the type "Fury Road" cannot be entered. The other side's market is not strange.

Jamie Johnson of Warner Bros. also went to Malibu to find Duke and asked him if he could make appropriate changes, but Duke refused without hesitation. If the changes are made according to the other party’s standards, "Furious Road" "It will only become a standard bad movie.

Even if such a bad film is only a product for a certain market and will not affect the screening in other regions, Duke does not want to affect his reputation because of a film.

This incident also reminded Duke of a certain point of view he had seen before, why many directors don't touch science fiction movies.

"How do I tell the above? What is the practical significance of my film? What is the positive significance? Why do I want to make such a weird film? The main question is: How does my film fit the current situation? Yes? I can't answer any of these questions, but I can't answer them, and I can't. Thinking about it this way, the conclusion comes out: I shouldn't have troubled myself in the first place."

If he can't enter the market, Duke will not force it, let alone make a special version of Fury Road. That is disrespectful to the audience on that land.

His films used to be profitable, but there must be a bottom line to make money.

This incident was quickly thrown behind by Duke, and he no longer paid attention to it. The time has come to May, and his energy has been turned to the promotion and release of Fury Road, with Charlize Theron. , Tom Cruise, James Franco and other major actors fly around in major cities in North America, frequently participating in various announcements and promotional activities to create momentum for the upcoming film.

The new summer archives in North America have already begun. "Furious Road" is facing the frontal competition from "The Adventures of Tintin", and the film is at a natural disadvantage in terms of audiences due to the mpaa classification. Therefore, more efforts must be made in publicity.

In any case, the Cannes Film Festival always has a certain degree of influence. Since "Furious Road" participates in the competition unit, the goal is naturally Palme d'Or!

After participating in a series of promotional activities in North America, Duke joined the main cast and crew of the crew and flew directly to Paris on his business jet to participate in the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.

Through the efforts of Warner Bros., "Furthermore" will appear at the Cannes Film Festival as the opening film. (To be continued...)
