Chapter 106
The next morning, Chen Feng and Zhong Lei got up and ate in the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.
Zhong Lei's hand unconsciously fiddled with the whole wheat red tablets, and her eyes stared at Chen Feng curiously. "It is said that Katie is the goddess in the eyes of many music fans in China. Don't you know her?"
"Yes."
"Then you're going to see a real person today. Why don't you look excited at all?"
"Why should we be excited? We are invited by the other party to cooperate, and we are all equal. In addition, I am sure that the person in front of me is better than Katie and will achieve higher achievements in the future. I can see you every day. Why should we retreat to the second place and expect someone worse than you?"
Zhong Lei was silent for a long time.
"I don't know if I should say you are arrogant, or if you look up to me too much, or maybe you have become more eloquent and good at sweet words."
Chen Feng pointed to his face. "Do I look glib?"
"No."
"That's right. I'm seeking truth from facts."
Zhong Lei: "I feel like you've become crazy after coming here."
Chen Feng put down his spoon. "This western food is really awful."
He smiled. "The environment makes people. People here like to greet madmen. In their eyes, capable people are arrogant, not arrogant, but cool. We are both cool. So we don't have to keep it."
Zhong Lei doesn't know yet. This is just the beginning.
After attending the tasting meeting in the afternoon, Neil brocamp showed off on his face and crazy advocated chaotic space for a long time, she realized that Chen Feng's arrogance was boundless.
Director Neil is also a madman, very conceited. While boasting about himself, he did not forget to express his contempt for Chinese science fiction.
In Neil's view, Chinese filmmakers lack both imagination and rigorous scientific literacy. Except for a few films, most Chinese science fiction films are ugly and should be destroyed in garbage trucks.
Neil also believes that his invitation to cooperate with Chen Feng this time provides Chen Feng with an excellent opportunity. It is impossible for China to make science fiction films qualified to make bath fire and self combustion as the theme songs.
Neil thinks Chen Feng should thank him because he has brought them a real stage to show their talents.
Although Zhong Lei felt that the other party was telling the truth, this was really unpleasant. Chen Feng was more straightforward and impatient. There was a sign that he was on the verge of outbreak at any time.
At that time, Katie Swift was also expressing her opinions. It seemed that she wanted to take full control of the adaptation of the lyrics and let Zhong Lei and Chen Feng fight for her.
Not only that, Katie also wants to completely change the original meaning of the lyrics and write her own understanding of space and future technology.
This is her creative idea. She wants to give her soul to the song she wants to sing.
Then Chen Feng blew up.
Put down cruel words on the spot, the Chinese side must lead the lyrics adaptation, otherwise even if I give you the right to adapt, I won't admit that this song has something to do with us when I go back.
Of course, I will not tell you that you use it legally, but I will never admit that I have any cooperation with the English version.
To put it simply, being ashamed to be with your generation makes the English version of self combustion unorthodox.
With that, Chen Feng took Zhong Lei and left Neil and others looking at each other.
They don't know what they did wrong.
Obviously, we can't let the situation deteriorate like this, so the box office of this film in the mainland will probably be negatively affected.
Then a Chinese actor in the production team understood the essence of the problem.
He said.
"This is about cultural differences. Our self-confidence may be arrogant in Mr. Chen's understanding."
This summary is in place.
After walking away, it was Zhong Lei, who was usually angry, who advised Chen Feng.
She couldn't understand why Chen Feng was so angry.
"Come on, I can't get along with money. We've just arrived. Try to restrain yourself."
Chen Feng took a deep breath, "I want to restrain myself. It's very difficult."
Only he himself knows why.
He has experienced several wars, and even on the front line, he has experienced the taste of his body being torn into countless pieces.
When he saw that others used such childish narration to tell about the future war, the whole article was meaningless personal heroism, described the rulers of the future world as a wise child, talked nonsense with a pale and stiff world outlook that went against logic but no self-knowledge, and frantically released his sense of superiority, his mentality was almost collapsed.
"Too superficial, too stupid, too short-sighted, too absurd. He has the right to laugh at our childishness?"
Zhong Lei said, "maybe he didn't mean it?"
"Isn't that more irritating? It means that's what he thinks."
Chen Feng gasped and tried to calm his mood.
Zhong Lei looked at him for a long time. When he calmed down slowly, he said, "you were not an easily excited person before. You have something on your mind."
"Yes."
Chen Feng leaned back against the wall and the plot of chaotic space reappeared in his mind.
Although the title of this new film comes down in a continuous line with blissful space, the stories of the two films are not related.
Chaotic space is about the war between earth people and aliens three or four hundred years later.
Well, at that time, humans had mastered wormhole technology and controlled dozens of star systems near the solar system.
Funny.
The population of all mankind has also exceeded 500 billion.
Continue to be funny.
But all human beings are subject to the control of an alien representative, which belongs to the vassal civilization.
The alien looks as like as two peas, but has a pointed ear, and his hair is a tentacle, and his hands and feet are longer.
The wormhole technology mastered by human beings is given away for nothing.
It's even funnier.
What's more nonsense is that the alien is still immoral and a tyrant.
Chen Feng felt his eyes were burning.
The alien's management method is very simple and rough, that is, no management, only taxes.
Therefore, the whole structure of human civilization is very chaotic. Gangs and enterprises are separated, just like the era of Lords in medieval Europe.
Then the hero rises from civilians and chats with childhood sweethearts. In the future, I will give everyone freedom, "Ipromise."
There are many obstacles in European and American films. One of them is that if the male Lord promises anything at the beginning, he can certainly do it.
The hero really hung up all the way. In a few words, he persuaded the high-level people to commit treason. A man carrying a fake energy weapon, in fact, Gatlin's weapon rushed in.
Finally, the boss, that is, the alien, fought for a bayonet with the hero in the base with a long sword!
The hero also won!
The civilization behind aliens was frightened by the actor's amazing fighting ability and recognized the equal status of people on earth.
Chen Feng was so hot that he choked his nose.
If it's really as easy to fight invaders as you did in your movies, what is the struggle of mankind in the next millennium?
What are the sacrifices of so many people?
Also, this alien civilization that claims to be enough to dominate the Milky Way galaxy is too retarded!
What a wonderful thing is immorality!
What's the difference between aliens and people, and people and sheep?
This is the root of his anger.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
His voice sounded distant and gloomy.
"Before human thoughts take wings and really leave the earth to set foot in space, if human beings encounter a war at the level of cross civilization and cross star system, it can never be a war that can solve the problem alone under personal heroism."
"Just as humans decide to destroy ant nests, who will squat down and crush the ants one by one with his fingers?"
"No, it will only light a fire and bake the whole land where the ant nest is located for three days and three nights. This will not destroy the soil, but the embers of the fire will turn it into fertile soil."
"Or pull a water pipe and pour the land through."
"Every move of mankind is the end for ants, but it doesn't take much effort for itself."
"So whether it was District 9 or independence day in the past, or the edge of tomorrow, the Pacific Rim, the Star River corps, and so on... It was childish."
"Well, I'm not afraid of your scolding. I think Star Wars is particularly childish."
"Laser sword BIU BIU, my source force broke out, BIU BIU," Chen Feng shook and shrugged as if waving a sword. "They don't understand anything at all."
"This is a disaster that is completely unequal. People on earth don't even know what the enemy is and can end it in an instant. It's not a war at all."
"Put yourself in another position. Can ants understand how human beings set off the 'world destroying flood'? Well, can ants understand a water pipe and a self-priming drainage pump? Do they know how to disconnect the power of the drainage pump?"
"This movie is so absurd and funny that I can't accept it personally. If Neil kept a low profile, I might tolerate his ignorance, but he's still so arrogant, so I'm angry."
After listening to him, Zhong Lei still doesn't understand his anger, but she chooses to understand.
Zhong Lei began to try to substitute Chen Feng's emotion and asked, "but now movies are made like this, otherwise the male and female protagonists are not bright enough, and if the audience can't substitute in, there will be no box office."
"So I agreed to cooperate at the beginning, and I didn't intend to be picky. It's just that Neil stepped on my pain point and got out of control a little. I'll talk to them later."
Zhong Lei was a little relieved and asked again, "if human beings can set foot in space and even travel all over the galaxy, then there will be another war?"
Chen Feng was shocked and couldn't help imagining that kind of picture in his mind.
He also remembered the history of human beings fighting against wild animals, natural disasters, diseases and other disasters since ancient times.
He remembered his last words before Ding Hu's death, and unconsciously drew a wipe arc around the corners of his mouth.
"It must be an era full of magnificent epics and racial legends forged by countless heroes with blood and flesh. It's a pity that mankind can't see it."
Zhong Lei shook her head. "We can't see it. You're too arbitrary."
"All right. Go back."
Zhong Lei: "Wait, I suddenly thought of a point. Back to the ant topic you just mentioned, if an ant in the ant population mutates, the toxicity is particularly fierce, and a bite can poison an adult? Even if you can't save the ant family, at least you have a chance to die together? If you bite fast enough, maybe you can leave several families as the fire for the survival of civilization?"
Chen Feng was stunned.
"Yes!"
"So personal heroism sometimes works well?"
"Which side are you on?"
They haven't been chatting here for too long.
Neil and Katie came first with people.
The other party reflected on their attitude, made a solemn apology to Chen Feng and Zhong Lei, expressed willingness to respect their cultural concepts, and repeatedly stressed that their previous words were harmless.
Since the other party gave the steps, Chen Feng went down.
The cooperation was officially carried out, and it was agreed that they would go back to promote their work at this time.
The Chinese side will come up with the first draft of the English version of the lyrics within two days, meet and negotiate the day after tomorrow, and polish and fine tune the lyrics on the basis of the lyrics provided by the Chinese side.
When they returned to the hotel, Zhong Lei began to translate the main idea of the lyrics while biting her pen. Chen Feng was bored searching for other people's science fiction movies.
