Does James Cameron know anything about science fiction movies?

nonsense!

"James Cameron's Science Fiction Stories", James Cameron's personal experience, analyzes the successful evolution of science fiction novels from being admired by people at the beginning to now sensationalizing the film and television industry. There are 6 episodes in total, and science fiction is divided into 6 major types: Alien

Life, outer space, monsters, dark future, intelligent robots, time travel...

People are very familiar with science fiction works.

There is a lot of space about Japanese benzene!

Japanese cyberpunk works of the 1980s and 1990s blended the dark future and intelligent robots, elaborating on the living conditions and philosophical thinking of semi-mechanized humans in an apocalyptic environment.

This country is very special. The rapid economic development in the 1970s promoted the expansion of the publishing industry. The Osaka World Expo was held, setting off a social wave of attention to science, and science fiction works emerged.

In the 1970s and 1980s, representative novels include "The Silence of Japan" and "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes".

Economic growth stagnated in the 1980s, Japan's benzene economic bubble burst in the early 1990s, and the subway sarin gas incident broke out, presenting a doomsday scene like the Great Depression.

The island nation's sense of self-danger engraved in the Japanese people's bones was catalyzed and turned into social panic. A large number of works about lonely boys and girls resisting the imminent end of the world appeared.

In 1988, Otomo Katsuhiro's "Akira" came out, telling the story of people's pursuit of power in the apocalyptic setting. In New Tokyo, which was built on the ruins of a nuclear explosion, Tetsuo, a street speedster, accidentally became the subject of a military experiment and became a mysterious force.

Kira's puppet, a catastrophe broke out.

In 1995, "Ghost in the Shell" directed by Mamoru Oshii was adapted from the manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow. During the same period, "Ghost Dream", "Appleseed Chronicles" and other similar works were released one after another.

The violent aesthetics and doomsday sentiment of "Akira" are very popular among Americans. The comic has been selling well in the United States for seven years. After the animated film was released in 6 languages ​​around the world, its revenue in the United States alone reached 1 million US dollars.

Hollywood saw the business opportunity. Warner purchased the copyright of "Akira" early and even planned an adaptation, but it has never officially promoted it;

Paramount's "Ghost in the Shell" and 20th Century Fox's "Ghost" adaptations have been released.

It is estimated that after reading the reputation and box office of these two movies, Warner's "Akira" is even more distant...

In addition to adapting original comics, Hollywood has also not stopped absorbing the essence of Japanese works.

"The Matrix" is obviously deeply influenced by the separation of soul and shell in "Ghost in the Shell", where people can plug into a virtual world system and lose themselves.

Darren Aronofsky is a crazy tribute to Satoshi Kon. Some of the storyboards in "Black Swan" and "Requiem for a Dream" are exactly the same as in "The House of Maiden". And in Nolan's "Inception",

People also saw the influence of Satoshi Kon's "Paprika".

If "Inception" and "Paprika" are considered coincidences, then "Requiem for a Dream" and "Mima's House" are absolute plagiarism!

"Alita"…

There is no essence of the original work at all...

Cyberpunk-style movies are originally descriptions of class divisions in human society, the gap between rich and poor, and cultural conflicts. There is a lot to talk about.

Comics such as "Ghost in the Shell" and "Gunmen" directly discuss the "Ship of Theseus" dilemma: When the human body only retains the brain and everything else is replaced by machinery, or the human body is controlled by computers, then humans are still

Human?

This includes the relationship between matter and consciousness, the emergence and existence of consciousness, the conflict between soul and body, the boundary between machinery and human beings, and other more grand and profound propositions.

Of course, this kind of serious work doesn't do well at the box office...

So, "Blade Runner" is awesome...

After hearing Shen Changlin's accusation, Cameron was surprised and asked: "Are you also a fan of "Guangdong"?"

"I can't be called a fan. I just watched "Guang Meng". I came with great expectations. I didn't expect that "Guang Meng" would be changed into this... The setting of Scrap Iron Town is so peaceful, then

…Why does the heroine want to escape Scrap Iron Town?”

"I understand, but if we adapt it according to the original work of "Guang Meng", it will be difficult to distribute it globally... The original work is very cruel!"

"OK, I understand!"

Still worried about the scale...

After all, "Alita: Battle Angel" is PG-13, and "Gunmen" is 18-level banned...

The topic shifted to cyberpunk. James Cameron certainly has ideas about "cyberpunk", but his focus is on intelligent humans.

Shen Changlin sometimes really doesn't understand the thinking of foreigners. Why should we worry about intelligent people awakening to their humanity?

We also need to discuss the rights of intelligent people...

You don’t care so much about human beings!

How many wars does the United States fight every year and how many people are displaced? Can't your love be used on them?

Of course, Shen Changlin didn't find fault this time...

Instead, we started chatting along the topic of James Cameron.

…

“A boring event!”

"If it weren't for his recommendation of "The Wandering Earth", I wouldn't have participated at all!"

At the dinner afterwards, Shen Changlin told Ah Mou the truth.

"Does Cameron recommend "The Wandering Earth"?"

"Well, we found "The Wandering Earth" recommended by three directors: Cameron, Spielberg and Spike Lee. Therefore, "The Wandering Earth" was released in 1,200 theaters in the United States, and ultimately earned 19 million

Dollar score…”

"What about "2"?"

"'2' was only released last week, with US$8.2 million in its first weekend. It's no problem to exceed US$20 million!"

Lianhua, who was at the same table, suddenly asked: "You just said to Cameron, 'You understand', what did you understand?"

"Under the Hollywood system, "Gun Dream" can only be a mediocre work..."

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "As long as you read the beginning, or as long as you read the middle section, you can guess the ending... This is not because the audience is very smart, but because the American director and screenwriter

We are so lazy that we can even write "path dependencies" when writing stories..."

"Well, it does feel like a model show..."

"Now they are not only unwilling to take care of themselves, but they are too lazy to take away their kidneys..."

Lotus was surprised: "Kidney?"

"When they make movies now, they don't dare to use blond beauties for fear of being scolded!"

"Why were you scolded?"

"Say you don't respect ordinary-looking women..."

After chatting for a while, Shen Changlin asked about "One Second"...

Amou sighed: "I guess it needs to be deleted!"

Shen Changlin frowned: "Can't it be released online?"

"One Second" is incomplete. The scene in the original film in which the daughter was willing to carry her bag to death in order to clear her name was deleted. Zhang Yi's performance seemed to be over-exerted and the appeal was greatly reduced, and it was unable to explain the emotions of the entire film.

Toward…

The whole movie seems inexplicable...

From a fundamental point of view, Shen Changlin is actually unwilling to invest in "One Second" because of the sensitive points that need to be avoided - you know they exist, but you are not sure where they are, and you cannot control them well.

No one can control this thing well!

Moreover, as a professional filmmaker, knowing that it cannot be a complete work, you will be in a dilemma whether you praise it or not.

You want to praise it, but when you think about that period of history, you feel that the film can only do this in the end, to present the dark historical years as beautifyingly as possible, and you can't praise it;

Even if you want to blame it, you can't blame it completely, because the director and team are willing to pay attention to this period of history and spend time on such a story, which is rare in itself!

To be honest, if A Mou hadn't wanted to make this film, he wouldn't have invested in it at all!

"Online release?"

"That's right, it won't be released in theaters anymore..."

"Let me ask them!"

Shen Changlin nodded and was about to change the subject when Lianhua asked him: "Boss Shen, does he have a role suitable for me? I haven't acted for a long time!"
Chapter completed!
