Chapter 288 Adjustment of the Pacific Rim Script

The ending of the plot changed from love to friendship.

Or strictly speaking, love will not be fully displayed.

At the end of the film, the male protagonist floats to the surface of the sea, not dead, a happy ending, and then it ends, without specific indication.

The character setting and background of the characters have also been changed.

In Lu Ping'an's new script, the male protagonist lost his brother as in the original time and space, and the female protagonist lost her parents.

Among them, the female protagonist's parents were mecha pilots, and they were husband and wife pilots like the Russian mecha Cherno Alpha.

The two died in the battle of the Magic City and were adopted by their parents' comrade-in-arms, the black general.

As a result, the new mecha after the male and female protagonists become partners will also be different.

The new mecha is reassembled and upgraded from the parts of the male protagonist's original "Dangerous Wanderer" and the female protagonist's parents' "Xuanniao".

In terms of styling, it will be more streamlined on the basis of the original version, with more elements of ancient Chinese armor.

In short, it's all about being handsome.

The two mechas are of the same generation, and the new mecha formed is the same as the original version, and it is the only nuclear-powered mecha in the film.

Later, the male and female protagonists understood each other's past, successfully completed the neural connection and formed a partner, and finally the two jointly named the new machine "Nirvana (English name Phoenix)".

This also implies the rebirth of the two and their respective mechas, as well as the plot that Nirvana enters the wormhole and explodes at the end of the film, giving the whole human race a new life.

Except for this change, the rest of the mechas and names are retained.

There are not many mechas in the original first part, including those of the Australian father and son, the Russian couple, the male and female protagonists, and Storm Red and a few that flashed by at the beginning.

The general plot of these mechas will not change, except for Storm Red.

This mecha is extremely powerful. In the official information of the original version, its number of kills ranks second among all mechas, but it does not have many scenes in the original movie.

It is not completely accurate to say that Storm Red died due to insufficient funds. Funds can only affect its duration in the movie, such as the battle that should have belonged to it and showed its combat capabilities in detail.

But Storm Red will eventually sacrifice, which is for the service of the plot.

Now that Lu Ping'an is here, the ending will still be the same, but at least he can fight vigorously, for example, the left-hand ion cannon must hit his mother.

This will not increase the duration by much, at most five minutes.

In terms of casting, Storm Red is operated by triplets, which makes the casting task very difficult. Fortunately, there are always capable people. The domestic producer Guangguang found the right triplets the next day.

They will speak pure Mandarin lines in battle.

Among the other roles, the actors of the Russian couple have changed, but they still have the appearance characteristics of the Russian fighting nation.

Cai Tiantong is played by "Scholar" Yu Entai. Lu Ping'an's requirement for this role is that he must pass the English speaking test, after all, he is in the command system, but in this way, few people in the domestic entertainment industry agree, so when Huantai was casting a few days ago, the English column blocked most of the actors, and finally Yu Entai picked up the leak.

This person's age, English speaking ability, acting skills, and image are all suitable. Most domestic actors can only envy him for choosing him. It is indeed his choice.

Among the other actors, the combat command room will have more Chinese faces without lines than the original version.

The security forces of the base are also a mixture of black, white and yellow.

The highlight is the chaos. After all, it is the end of the world, so it has to be a little messy.

In terms of the plot, at the end, the sacrifice scene of the male and female protagonists has also been changed.

Lu Ping'an's version is: both of them are brave enough to sacrifice, but because the female protagonist's combat suit was damaged in the previous battle, the pressure in the combat suit was insufficient, and the oxygen could not be transferred to the male protagonist. She could only watch the male protagonist smilingly take the lead and transfer his oxygen to the female protagonist, and then send her to escape, and then the male protagonist completed the final task himself.

In this plot, Lu Ping'an originally wanted to change the role.

For example, the female protagonist representing China was sacrificed to imply China's fearlessness in the face of disasters.

But considering that this is an international blockbuster mainly for North America, it was finally decided to keep it unchanged.

It just adds more scenes for the heroine. For example, before actively transferring oxygen to prepare for sacrifice, she first comes up with a solution and is ready to execute it without hesitation, but is seen through by the hero. The hero nods his head, indicating that the neurons are still connected and you can't hide it from me.

Then he completes the transition neatly and forces the heroine to escape, and a series of operations.

At this point, Lu Ping'an also set up a foreshadowing, that is, the hero's brother also encountered a similar danger when he sacrificed at the beginning. The brother used agile movements to operate the mechanism at the moment of life and death so that he would not implicate his brother. When the brother reacted, the brother had been thrown into the air by the beast.

Now the hero has accepted his brother's inheritance and operates the mechanism neatly, so that the heroine escapes before she reacts.

Metaphor?

Maybe the Americans will hand over the baton to China in the future.

Lu Ping'an said: Don't guess, I never use metaphors.

Generally speaking, these are the plot changes.

As for shooting, just follow the plot changes and modify some lines.

The next shooting is also simple.

Most of the scenes can be completed in the studio.

Driving a mecha in the "mecha cockpit", literary scenes and martial arts competitions at the base, etc.

The rest are the scenes of the monster cult, the beach scenes and other outdoor scenes.

Some of the outdoor scenes will be shot in the United States.

The overall outdoor scenes are very few, less than 10%.

The highlight is the fighting scenes, which account for about 60%, and this is the special effects.

So the overall literary scenes can be completed in one and a half months or even one month at most.

The special effects are already being made, and one year is enough.

"Okay, let's mobilize for the first scene today, Xiao Ma, go try on your combat uniform."

Lu Pingan clapped his hands, and the whole audience quickly entered the working state.

Matt Damon and others also felt at home at the first time.

It's not the feeling of being licked.

But although most of the crew are Chinese, the atmosphere and work rhythm of the crew are almost the same as those of Hollywood crews.

So this is a Hollywood crew, right?

"Kang Mang, speed up, Xiao Ma!"

"OK, it will be soon."

Matt Damon was called by Lu Pingan, and he instantly came back to his senses and started working.

Half an hour later, Matt Damon came out in combat uniform.

The size of Matt Damon's combat uniform was measured when he was in the United States.

The data was sent back to China, and the props team took only one day to modify the costume. Now Matt Damon wears it very well.

What attracts more attention than the fit is "handsomeness"!

The black new combat uniform is full of mechanical futuristic feeling.

Then the other "pilots" also appeared in mecha.

Liu Xixi's combat uniform is the same as Matt Damon's.

In terms of appearance, Lu Ping'an slightly refined her hips and chest to make it more bumpy.

This also made Liu Xixi blush at the time.

But the effect is very good.

It is not as exaggerated as anime cosplay, but it is also sharp and capable, with beautiful lines and full of mechanical beauty.

Then the other pilots also appeared one by one.

Black, red, white, gray, several sets of combat uniforms appeared, and the whole studio was filled with science fiction.
