Every martial arts man must be able to heal his injuries, and he must spit out a mouthful of black blood.
For all bad news, there must be a bowl that will fall from the hand and smash to pieces.
Whenever you break up, you must leave home in tears, and there must be a torrent of rain outside the door.
The list is endless.
"The plot is relatively old-fashioned and the plot is naive" is the definition of the popular word "dog blood", so I used to be "dog blood" every day.
The details are so repeated, the plot, and the limited development routes are inevitable. After watching a lot, the audience will understand: I can also be a screenwriter because I can accurately predict the development of the plot every time. This does not mean that I thought of going with the screenwriter. Is this an improvement of the audience or a regression of the screenwriter? The contradiction between the growing cultural needs of the people and the current productivity development that cannot meet the needs of the people is becoming increasingly fierce, and the situation is not optimistic.
Popular cultural consumer goods are so vulgar, we are anxious, our cultural department is even more anxious, or how to call it "radio, television, general, urgent". Since then, dialect restrictions, American drama restrictions, and entertainment restrictions have been introduced. In addition, the orders we hate are flooding in, and our ever-calling movie classification system does not even have a shadow. We do not engage in grading, our movies are only grade one, that is, the yellow-haired child grade, regardless of how old you are.
How to go against vulgarity? I think "Steel Fist" gives a good answer.
(The spoiler starts below, be careful) The story of
a prodigal single father and a son who was sentenced to his wife, controlling a picked-up robot and participating in a robot boxing match.
The background of the film is like this. As a dog-blooded audience who has been ill for a long time, his imagination quickly unfolds:
1 Boxing match?
The protagonist must have been beaten madly by Xiaoyao, and then made up his mind to retreat and practice. After going out of the mountain again, he went through many difficulties and finally knocked the big boss to the ground, right?
mistaken.
The robot even won the first game, always winning, various wins, and losing the game when it played the boss at the end. Subvert it?
2 A robot planed out of the garbage dump?
The atom is not only a tattered, but also an outdated model of the second generation. The gap between Atom and Big Boss is probably the gap between Big Brother and iPhone4s.
According to the setting of this world, fighting robots are not intelligent creatures in outer space (such as Transformers). They are actually remote-controlled toys. Unmanned control is incapable of action, which means that robots have no self-awareness. Moreover, atom is not even a fighting robot. It is a sparring team, and its brain is just imitating movements. That's right, if you punch yourself, he can imitate it.
This can be won. Atom must have undiscovered superpowers, right? In other words, after being madly beaten, your self-awareness has awakened, right? I thought the same way at the beginning, especially when there was a lens of atom looking in the mirror, which seemed to imply the awakening of self-consciousness, but the results often exceeded expectations. Atom has always been two, as always two, from beginning to end, it is a mimicry. Remote control toy.
3 How did this guy win the final game?
Atom's final opponent is Zeus (without the full-map lightning skill, dear), this guy is so awesome that he never knows what the second round is, and every time the first round, he takes care of his opponent. Note that this also laid a foreshadowing for the decisive battle.
At first, Atom was abused and turned into a dish, but gave full play to the spirit of Xiaoqiang who could not be killed, this 2b robot actually stood firm to the final round.
This brings us to the final round. According to the usual screenwriter thinking, if we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we must have an explanation to the audience. It’s really hard to justify, you must have God’s help. For example, in "Martial Arts", let the boss be smashed to death by thunder (regardless of whether the audience was killed by thunder or not), and another example is the magical blood of Athena in "Saint Seiya". Another example is the tears of various beautiful women with resurrection function, a magical kiss and so on. If it doesn't work, all kinds of sudden natural disasters and magical alien creatures will greet you, not afraid of immortality.
Atom withstood a large wave of (zombie) attacks and was not killed in seconds. In fact, his entire process was to hold his head in his hands and be beaten all the time. He dragged his opponent to death. Atom dragged until the opponent's battery ran out, and then counterattacked.
As we said earlier, Zeus never knew what the second round was. It was obviously beyond expectation to hit the fifth round. According to this setting, Zeus's battery is not enough, which is completely reasonable.
Since atom had been holding his head and beating at the beginning, obviously the battery was useless. At this time, the opponent's physical strength collapsed and began to counterattack, but after all, the time was too short. Before the end of the game, he did not knock down Zeus, but his tenacity has been infected. To all the audience, the "atom, Galle" audience whispered in the tsunami.
We know that there are two ways to tell the winner of a boxing match. The first is to knock down the opponent, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." . If they didn't knock down each other, then it's up to the referee to score, and the score is higher.
When all the audience were looking forward to announcing atom's victory, the referee's score came out:
Zeus scored high and Zeus won.
The result of the game was fair, but it was clear that Zeus won the game and lost the hearts of the people.
The screenwriter is good, not kitsch, not catering to the audience, but giving results consistent with common sense.
In general, the whole story is in line with common sense and reasonable:
1. A robot is a machine, not a human.
We are moved by Atom, but the story is clear. Atom is a remote-controlled robot from beginning to end, with no autonomous consciousness, no soul, no awakening, no evolution, no mutation.
This move was added to the machine, but it was directed at people's hearts.
2 The weak cannot defeat the strong.
In the arena, the strong defeats the weak, which is in line with common sense and is not changed by our emotional belonging.
Reasonable.
In love, Atom lost the game, but won the hearts of the people.
Sensible.
3 Bragging to a limited extent.
For example, the energy of robots is not some kind of magical alien minerals, not nuclear fusion, but batteries. The batteries will run out. Common sense is reasonable. Let the audience feel that this is bragging, there are still some edges. Think of it as sci-fi, it is also hard sci-fi, not a soft-hearted stuff.
Is it difficult to get rid of vulgarity? Try to return to common sense and put it into common sense, and there will be surprises.
Surrounded by vulgar things, a little normal thing can already be outstanding.
