Chapter 303 Bug Fixes
August 5th, afternoon.
Gu Wei set out from the company with his own personal team.
In the nanny car, he used his mobile phone to help Yang Zi forward the Weibo.
The day after tomorrow, the 7th, the movie "Where Has the Time Gone" starring Yang Zi will be released nationwide.
This movie was shot before she joined the cast of "Da Yangge" last year. It is a low-budget youth romance film.
The male lead is Taiwanese actor Kuo Pin-chao, who is unknown in mainland China.
The most famous supporting actor in the whole film is Jiao Enjun, who plays Erlang Shen.
Gu Wei had no impression of this movie at all.
I guess it will be a silent flop like most movies that only have a one-day theater run.
However, Yang Zi is the leading actress after all. Relying on their good friendship, Gu Wei helped to repost the Weibo and recommended it to his fans to watch.
That's all he could do.
Also released on the same day as her film is Peng Yuyan and Wang Luodan's racing movie "Breaking Wind", which was directed by Lin Chaoxian.
It is said that in order to make a good movie, the hardworking male god obtained a professional racing driver license and unlocked a new skill.
I just don't know when he will be able to pass the Level 1A certificate in Mandarin.
After all, he has been filming in mainland China for 10 years, from the time he filmed "Chinese Paladin" in 2005 to now. He has yet to pass the Mandarin certificate required for professional actors, which does not fit his image as a hardworking male god.
There is also "New Bu Bu Jing Xin" starring Chen Yihan and Dou Xiao. As the name suggests, this is the movie version of the TV series "Bu Bu Jing Xin", which is also a field that Gu Wei has always been reluctant to get involved in.
The film adaptation rights of "Love O2O" were finally bought by Huayi Brothers.
Gu Wei earned 35 million with tears in his eyes.
You should know that he only spent 1.5 million to buy the film and television adaptation rights from Gu Man in 2012.
Of course, it is also thanks to the TV series version of "Love O2O" directed by Gu Wei that this IP became popular. Otherwise, relying solely on the popularity of the original novel, even if "Hua Yi" was stupid, it would not have spent so much money to buy the adaptation rights.
After forwarding the Weibo post, I received a WeChat message from Yang Zi not long after. I chatted with her for a while, called her a few times, and then turned off my phone.
Today is Wednesday. When Gu Wei and his friends left, it was almost time to get off work. The road was full of cars and the nanny car was moving very slowly.
Gu Wei looked at the tall buildings and slowly moving traffic outside the car window. He was not in a hurry. They had already reserved time for the traffic jam, so the flight would still arrive in time.
At this time, Yang Chaoyue, who was sitting in the nanny car with her executive agent Yang Dan, was very excited. This was the first time she went abroad in her life.
For her, it was a completely novel experience.
Even though they were still in the car and hadn't even reached the airport, she couldn't contain her excitement and kept chattering with Yang Dan.
"Sister Dan, what do you think of America?
Will there be foreigners everywhere when we get there?
We are going to New York, right? Is there a big statue holding a torch there?
”
Fortunately, she knew that her boss was just across the street and his voice was relatively quiet.
But the nanny car is so small, how could Gu Wei not hear it? He couldn't help but smile and remind Yang Chaoyue.
“That’s called the Statue of Liberty.”
When Yang Chaoyue heard the boss speak, she immediately shut her mouth and dared not say a word.
Gu Wei found it very interesting to see her expression as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"Chaoyue, do you speak English?"
"Ah, no~no!"
The young assistant didn't expect the boss to take the initiative to talk to her.
"Let me tell you, America is a wonderful place. Even the air is sweet."
"Really?"
The little girl widened her eyes and looked at Gu Wei with an expression that said, "I've never seen the world."
"Of course.
Haven't you heard the saying, "In a free America, where shootings happen every day, the air smells sweet"?
Have you seen Hollywood blockbusters?
Their air is filled with the fragrance of gunpowder!"
"Ah! How dangerous!"
"Have you seen the movie Taken?"
“I’ve seen it~”
"When you go abroad, a girl like you who can't speak English is very likely to be kidnapped by local gangs, and then hehehe!"
"Huh"
Yang Chaoyue gritted his teeth and frowned, looking frightened, and shrank back.
Although she started working after graduating from high school, she has always worked in small places. Apart from her coworkers, she relies on television and the Internet to get information about the outside world.
Our understanding of foreign countries depends entirely on Hollywood movies.
"Boss, I'm trying to scare you. Although the US isn't as safe as our country, it's not that dangerous either.
When you get there, don't run around, stay in the crew, and nothing will happen."
Yang Dan on the side comforted him.
Although she is not too old, she has followed Gu Wei for several years. She runs around with Gu Wei all day long and has come into contact with many people and things, so she is considered knowledgeable.
"In the first half of this year, I went to London with my boss. Although I've never been to New York before, both are international metropolises, so I expected it to be not much different from London."
Yang Dan said.
"Sister Dan, you've been to London.
Tell me what London is like?"
Yang Chaoyue looked envious.
"As long as you work hard and follow your boss, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future."
Yang Dan encouraged her with a smile.
The two little girls started chatting, and Gu Wei stopped talking. He closed his eyes and began to rest.
After a while, the nanny car arrived at the airport.
Gu Wei and his team have quite a few people, and they are not on the same flight, so they will leave in batches.
But you can get to New York during the day tomorrow.
After meeting up with the main creative team at the airport, we started boarding the plane in a grand procession.
The direct flight from Beijing International Airport to New York takes about 13 to 14 hours, which means that Gu Wei and his friends have to stay on the plane overnight and arrive the next day.
In the first class cabin, Gu Wei and Wang Baoqiang sat in one row, and behind them sat Nazha and Liu Yifei.
This seating arrangement was proposed by Nazha. She said she wanted to sit with Liu Yifei, and Gu Wei had no reason to refuse.
After asking Liu Yifei, she readily agreed.
Gu Wei doesn't care. He can sit with anyone and doesn't have to worry about other people's feelings.
He doesn't have any special feelings towards Liu Yifei now. They just treat each other as good friends and have a bit of a childhood fairy filter towards her.
Nazha listens to him in everything and doesn't mind even if she suffers a little injustice.
After the plane took off, Wang Baoqiang, who was sitting next to Gu Wei, fell asleep quickly.
To be honest, every time he takes a plane with Baoqiang, he always thinks of the scene in "Lost in Journey" where the other person drinks milk before getting on the plane.
Gu Wei took out the script and storyboard he had with him and started reading them again.
The story of his version of "Detective Chinatown 2" is basically the same as the original, except that Gu Wei changed some parts of the original that had bigger bugs.
[Detective Chinatown 2] mainly tells the story of a foreign doctor who, because he has cancer, uses ancient Taoist knowledge to kill people and take their internal organs to make elixirs in an attempt to cure his terminal illness.
The murder case was finally solved by "Qin Feng" and the murderer was found.
This script is very similar to a 2002 Taiwanese horror film called "Double Vision".
Of course, it cannot be called plagiarism, after all, the setting of the five elements murder case has been written in many novels.
It is not original to [Double Eyes].
However, it would be self-deception to say that "Detective Chinatown 2" has nothing to do with "Double Vision". There are obvious traces of imitation in the plot of the later part of the movie.
In the original plot of "Detective Chinatown 2", one of the bugs is closely related to "Double Pupils".
At the end of the movie, the villain doctor was captured by the protagonists. After a verbal exchange between the two sides, the big boss committed suicide by slitting his throat with a scalpel without any resistance.
To be honest, when Gu Wei first watched the movie, he felt that this plot was quite abrupt.
After all, a large part of the movie is about how to find the real murderer based on clues. In the end, the murderer was found, but he committed suicide within thirty seconds of his appearance.
According to the plot, the doctor obviously cherished his life very much, and his purpose of killing people was to make elixirs to cure diseases, but he ended up committing suicide so easily.
In fact, there is a concept involved here, which is the Taoist "corpse transformation".
In the movie "Double Vision", the murderer is set to be the reincarnation of an immortal cultivator. She sends five evil people to five kinds of hell, and uses this ritual to help herself become an immortal.
After she successfully killed someone, she used magic to make the protagonist kill himself, which was also for the last part of the ritual, "corpse transformation".
In Taoist legends, there is a kind of immortal called "Corpse Reincarnation Immortal".
It means abandoning the body and letting the soul ascend.
In the original plot of "Detective Chinatown 2", what the director wanted to express was that the doctor, seeing that he could not make the elixir, was at the end of his rope and wanted to commit suicide, abandoning his body and letting his soul become an immortal.
It’s just that the movie didn’t express this concept, so it looks like the murderer committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
He already had a terminal illness and would die sooner or later. How could he commit suicide out of fear of punishment?
So Gu Wei changed this part so that the doctor fought back before his death, and in the fight with the protagonists, he was killed by "Song Yi" played by Xiao Yang who snatched the knife from him.
In the last moment before his death, he spit out blood and said the word "corpse transformation" with a smile.
After the three heard this, "Qin Feng" explained the concept of "corpse transformation" to the other two with a serious face.
This makes the story logically coherent.
The doctor's death was actually a ritual of "corpse transformation" that he completed with the help of Song Yi.
Here, Gu Wei wrote a deeper level. Song Yi seemed to have killed the doctor in self-defense, but in fact, he did it on purpose.
Because if the doctor was caught and interrogated, Song Yi's killing of "Lu Guofu" would inevitably be exposed, so he pretended to act in self-defense and killed the doctor first to silence him.
In the end, the doctor's death was a joint effort between the murderer and the victim, and the logic was interconnected.
Another obvious bug is the huge altar that the three protagonists found in the hospital at the end.
My goodness, building such a large building in a Western-style hospital is not justifiable according to the hospital's spatial design.
The altar is at least three stories high, which means that the entire altar space has connected several floors of the hospital. How was this project completed without disturbing others?
Even if it is a private hospital and the doctor is still the boss, the load-bearing plate of the building is limited. Won’t such a large building collapse?
The original version was entirely intended to highlight the doctor's devout belief in Taoism, so the more magnificent the altar was made, the greater the contrast with the hospital outside, the better.
Completely ignores the plausibility of the story.
So Gu Wei converted the altar space here into a secret room.
It is only one floor high, but the layout inside is full of elements of ancient oriental Taoism, which is still shocking.
In a hospital of their own, it is relatively easy for doctors to set up a few rooms as secret rooms.
He can completely tell others that it is his own collection room. After all, it is reasonable for wealthy people to have a huge house to collect some precious collections.
