When Leonardo heard Spielberg ’s inquiry, he almost subconsciously asked: “Steven, do you have any idea to remake this movie?”

Hollywood does n’t pay much attention to Hong Kong movies, Hollywood companies pay a little more attention, but local Hollywood actors know very little about Hong Kong movies. Leonardo not only did not watch this movie before today He had never heard of it, so he did n’t know that the copyright of the movie was once bought by Warner, and he did n’t know that the copyright was now in the hands of Li Mu.

Spielberg said to him: "The remake of this movie was bought by Warner a few months ago, but it was just bought by Li Mu."

"Li Mu?" Leonardo asked happily: "That's why Li Mu is interested in remaking this movie, right?"

"Yes," Spielberg said: "Li Mu is preparing to co-produce with DreamWorks, and he hopes that you will play the role of Chen Yongren."

Speaking of this, Spielberg said with a smile: "Of course, if we make a remake, this character cannot be called the same name, the whole story structure will definitely be translated to the United States, the gangs that happened in the United States, and the police in the United States. Between. "

"Great!" Leonardo blurted out almost without hesitation: "I am willing to play this role, it is too **** willing! I like this role, like this poor guy, just don't let it He is so pitiful in the remake version ... "

Tom Hanks smiled on the side: "Trust me Leo, if it is a remake, they should give your character a Shanda funeral at the end, not only the Scottish bagpipes, but also the 21-gun salute! "

Leonardo said excitedly: "Hey, Tom, just imagine that joining this role is called Jimmy or something. When he went through all these, he got the love of a beautiful psychologist, but this The psychiatrist has always been dissatisfied with his identity as a gang, and even tried hard to draw a line with him. He also accepted and gradually alienated the female psychiatrist, but before he would meet the dirty policeman, he Find the female doctor, put all her information in an envelope and give it to the psychologist for custody, and then tell her to open it if she encounters something unexpected. "

Tom Hanks nodded and smiled: "Then he ... slammed and died."

"Yes!" Leonardo said excitedly: "The character is dead, but he won his identity, won all the honors, and also told his true identity to the woman he loves, imagine For a moment, this woman loved him painfully before, but in her eyes, he was nothing more than a charismatic gangster, even a criminal with a wicked sin, but after he died, she finally understood everything and understood the man ’s Identity, and the great tasks he has been engaged in for so many years, completely overturned all her previous knowledge of him, which will be a good comfort for the audience. "

Tom Hanks also began to enjoy this kind of plot discussion, so he asked Leonardo: "In this case, what do you think of the dirty policeman?"

"He must die!" Leonardo said: "The good guys can die, the bad guys must die, the good guys are glorified after death, and the bad guys are notorious after death. This is the value that the audience can accept. I do n’t I hope to star in a good guy who is dead, but the bad guy is at ease, and then pretend to say that he also wants to be a good movie. "

Tom Hanks said: "In this case, I think it is possible to design another police officer. This police officer can be a partner of Officer Huang. He knows that Officer Huang and Chen Yongren both died in the hands of dirty police, but there is no evidence for him. Convicted, or dissatisfied, he will only be sentenced to life imprisonment in the future, so he decides to punish evil and promote good, and he will kill the dirty police. As the end of the whole movie, this will also give the audience a satisfactory explanation. "

Spirberg said: "The two of you are very good, I agree with these points, and I still have an idea, you guys consult."

The two listened to each other, Spielberg paused and said: "In the original version, Liu Jianming had a girlfriend and was a writer, and Chen Yongren had a female psychologist who cared about her very much. There was no intersection between the two female characters. , And the two characters are actually relatively thin as a whole. If we make a remake, we might as well merge the two female characters into one. "

"Merge into one?" Tom Hanks asking with a frown he: "Steven, you mean, this psychologist, is both the girlfriend of the dirty policeman, and the psychologist of the protagonist, and then fell in love again. Protagonist? "

"Yes." Spielberg nodded and said: "Female characters are actually very important in this two-male rival play. This movie gives the audience the feeling that the bad guy seems to have everything. But in fact, he unknowingly lost everything, including his humanity, his future, and his love, and the good guy although has been losing a lot, but he completed the mission, won the honor, won the heart of a good woman In this way, even if it finally dies, it is also Hero, which can comfort the audience. "

Leonardo suddenly snapped his fingers and epiphany said, "It ’s so good, like Mel Gibson's" Brave Heart ", the protagonist William Wallace was eventually beheaded by although, but He completed the mission of leading the Scottish national resistance, won the respect of everyone, and won the heart of the French princess played by Sophie Marceau. "

Tom Hanks said: "According to the plot, the French princess played by Sophie Marceau was originally the daughter-in-law of the King of England, but before the death of the King of England, Sophie Marceau told He, he is not pregnant with his grandson, but William Wallace's flesh, this is really too enjoyable. "

Spielberg said: "Let the villain's woman fall in love with the protagonist is a very easy plot operation. In this way, you can use this woman's choice to show the true victory of the pros and villains Fang, especially when the villain has almost everything and the protagonist has almost nothing, the audience's feeling will be more intense. When facing the villain who has everything and the protagonist who has nothing, the audience will completely subvert their own values, such as " Sophie Marceau in Brave Heart, no matter how it is packed, her behavior is a standard derailment in marriage, and even more terrible is that she is the initiator of derailment and is pregnant with other men ’s children, but put it in In this movie, no one will blame her, but countless people applaud her behavior, and her behavior will make the audience more appreciative of the protagonist. "

"Haha!" Leonardo laughed: "If you say that," Titanic "is actually the same, Kate plays Ruth is actually a derailed woman, and I play Jack, is a hook to others Poor boy with fiancee. "

"Yeah." Spielberg laughed: "You even won the gambling ticket for boarding the boat."

Finally, Spielberg put a smile on his face and said: "In fact, this is the psychology of the audience. They are willing to see the protagonist win everything and the villain loses everything. In this case, even the villain ’s wife takes the initiative For the protagonist, the audience will not only blame, but will appreciate it, because it will strengthen the protagonist ’s aura and please the audience at the same time, so I want to merge the two female characters that have no intersection with each other in Infernal Affairs and let her strengthen the plot Tension, but also give the audience some comfort. "

Leonardo asked: "How should it be set?"

Spirberg said: "We have to think about it, and sort out the female character to know the villain, and the timeline of Male lead, and the story line of the three of them."

After a pause, Spielberg looks at Leonardo, asked with a smile: "However, in summary, Leo, you are 100% sure you want to join this movie, right?"

"God." Leonardo said seriously: "Not one hundred percent sure, but ten thousand percent!"

"OK." Spielberg nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Tom Hanks, said: "Tom, the role of police officer Huang, are you interested?"

"Me?" Tom Hanks was obviously a little surprised. He didn't think Spielberg would invite himself to participate in this movie, because the choice of the Male lead corner is Leonardo, and the other is with him. The male number two playing the opponent's play should also be a young man of about the same age as Leonardo. He was obviously not suitable, so he did not think of participating in the discussion.

However, Spielberg suddenly asked him if he was interested in the role of Officer Huang, and Tom Hanks was really at a loss.

Police officer Huang ’s role is not a big one, not even the male number three, because no matter how you look at the role of this character, there will be no heavier parts of the black boss, so after calculation, this role should be a male four number.

For actors like Tom Hanks, the male number four is basically not considered. On the one hand, the big players do not like to play supporting roles, on the other hand, the production company will not give them The opportunity to play a supporting role, these extremely expensive actors, scary people with high pay, please come here to film the male one, and the second male second, take the top actors to play the supporting role, the cost of the entire movie is much higher In order to carry it down.

Spielberg also knew that the role was somewhat marginalized, so he tried to persuade Tom Hanks, saying: "Tom, this role may not have too many parts, but it is very important for the whole movie. , Whether it is me or Li Mu, you are very respectful of your acting skills, so I also hope that you can accept this role, Li Mu also made it clear that you and Leo have already reduced their pay in "Flying Tigers", "Infernal Affairs "Nothing can make you sacrifice your profits, so they pay you a piece of cake according to the market price and give a certain box office account."

After finishing, Spielberg added another sentence: "But it doesn't matter if you don't want to, I can understand."

Tom Hanks smiled slightly and said happily: "Since Leo made a decision so fast, I do n’t think about it any more. I will work with Leo once more!"
