Chapter 331 Dejin

   "Twelve Citizens" is adapted from "Twelve Angry Men".

   There are many versions based on "Twelve Angry Men".

  Jiang Yang has seen it all.

  He even watched the Russian version and the Japanese version, both of which were wonderful.

  The reason why Jiang Yang reads different versions with gusto is because each version is based on the script of the original "Twelve Angry Men" and localized according to local conditions. Although it does not surpass the original version, each has its own characteristics.

  The original focus on justice, which is the cornerstone of the script.

  Then, the Russian version tends to be the shadow of war, national hatred and oligarchy; the Japanese version focuses on reasoning and sensibility; as for the Chinese version of "Twelve Citizens", it is also very exciting in terms of localization.

  The story is roughly about a University of Political Science and Law, students take final exams, set up a moot court to try a rich second generation who was raised by a rich man, and the defendant killed his alcoholic biological father. Then the parents of twelve students form a jury to make a verdict on the case. According to the rules, the twelve jurors must agree to end the trial.

  These parents originally wanted to fool the past and reach an agreement to go home directly, but No. 8 had a different opinion. He believed that the rich second generation was innocent, so these twelve parents from different positions, different classes, and different regions started a quarrel.

  Jiang Yang felt that the setting here was quite in line with Han Xiaoxiao's online quarrel just now.

  Twelve people have different positions, different prejudices, and different views.

The taxi driver whose son ran away from home insisted that the rich second generation was guilty; the local aborigine who rented a house felt that outsiders made his son useless, so the black area believed that the rich second generation was guilty; the elderly who were wronged in special times, After being persuaded, they support innocence; there are also young people who have been wrongly imprisoned and support innocence; the school teacher pulls over to make up the numbers, and the shop owner who has to come for business doesn't care about guilt or innocence at all; the insurance seller is a fool, vacillating —

   And a security guard—

  Jiang Yang remembered.

  When he took the subway, the speed he remembered was the line from the security guard.

The security guard worked as a delivery man in the era when the subway was still running around for 2 yuan. He worked in the subway every day. After picking up the goods, he took the subway to send them to other places. Subway delivery.

  He has been in the subway for more than a year, so he knows the speed of the subway, the length of the carriage and so on.

   In short, twelve people, surrounded by a table, based on their own identities and status, quarreled in a room for 100 minutes. Those who can’t stand it really can’t stand it, and those who can stand it think it’s really exciting.

certainly.

  Looks like there is only one scene and the cost is very low.

   But the play is not easy, and it especially tests the actors' lines and acting skills, because twelve people sit there and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

  So, the actors in "Twelve Citizens" are all drama actors, each of whom is an acting school, with a burst of lines and acting skills.

   The result is that when many people watch the movie, they feel that there is a sense of drama.

   It is not an exaggeration to think that this is a drama movie.

   In addition, this movie has a natural disadvantage, that is, because of the lack of a jury system due to the national conditions, it is just a virtual court, lacking the tension that really determines the life and death of a teenager.

  If you care about this and read the original version, this disadvantage will be magnified.

but-

  There is no original version in this world.

   As a Chinese, it is reasonable for Jiang Yang to base himself on localization first. As a drama film, it is also reasonable to put it in the theater first—to hone his acting skills first. After all, it is not easy to hire twelve actors with acting skills.

   Besides, the box office of this movie is really not high.

  As for other versions.

   If someone really likes it, it won’t be too late for Jiang Yang to write it. Maybe when foreigners get the American version of the script, they will sigh in Mandarin: “Fuck, the old iron’s adaptation is really good, really cool.”

  Jiang Yang thought it was fun.

  Fun is fun, Jiang Yang returned to the computer, and when he wanted to start writing, he encountered difficulties. It is easy to remember the story outline of a movie, but to remember the characters and lines, you have to dig out your memory.

  After Han Xiaoxiao entered the office in Jiang Yang, the chair slid to Jiang Chen's side, "Hey, what is Director Jiang doing in the office?"

   "Definitely not a job."

  Jiang Chen sat up straight and let Han Xiaoxiao look at his screen, "Hey, look at this."

"What?"

  Han Xiaoxiao poked her head over, Jiang Chen was watching Twitter, and was opening a video, in which a band was performing in a mourning hall, "I'll go, what's the difference between this and a graveyard disco?" She couldn't help but say.

  Jiang Chen asked Han Xiaoxiao to put on the earphones and listen to music.

  Han Xiaoxiao listened for a while, with a look of disgust: "What is this?"

   Originally, it was weird to have drums and guitars playing together in the mourning hall, but I didn’t expect it to be even weirder when I heard this song.

   Then, she saw Jiang Yang appearing in the camera, putting a hawthorn pill into his mouth.

  Han Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Why is Director Jiang here?"

  Jiang Chen: "Did you forget? Director Jiang went to the funeral this morning, and the lead singer, do you think it's the third brother?"

   "Good guy."

Because this video was shot abnormally, Han Xiaoxiao squinted his eyes carefully to see that it was the third brother who filmed "Underground Traffic Station", "Don't tell me, the third brother put away Jia Gui's energy and put on a suit again." , it’s really hard to recognize.”

  But once connected—

   "It's quite right."

Han Xiaoxiao didn't know why, but felt that Captain Shengshi Meiyan Jia played this style of rock and roll, and she had a kind of old-fashioned vigor. She picked up the earphones and listened again, "It's not very good, but I don't know Why is it very high."

and-

  Thinking about it this way, performing at a funeral is not a big deal, it just shows that the deceased is open-minded.

"Hey!"

  Jiang Chen: "You really have double standards."

  When I met Director Jiang and the third brother, I didn't think it was strange. This is not what double standards are.

This video was obviously shot with a mobile phone, so it was not very stable, but it was still very popular on the Internet. After all, rock and roll was sung in the mourning hall. It's getting hotter.

  The person who took the video specially gave Jiang Yang a few more shots.

  There are quite a few people commenting on the video, some people can’t accept it, some deny it, criticize it, and even swear.

   A slightly nicer word would be: "Is this sick? Performance art? Or really crazy?"

  But there are also some, like Han Xiaoxiao, who feel that Captain Jia's singing of this enchanting rock has a chemical reaction.

   "When I first listened to it, I also felt sick, but for the face of my anti-traitor, anti-Japanese male **** Captain Jia, I listened to it a few times, hey, it's really **** good."

   "If you can listen to this thing, you are sick! Well, I am sick."

   "I'm probably sick too."

   "Damn, I can't extricate myself from it, is it too late to go to a mental hospital?"

   "I, also, probably. I don't know why a female high school student like me is obsessed with this."

   "Isn't it just to see handsome guys?"

   "Why do I think it's so exciting, so free and easy, the funeral host must be very cool."

"One thing to say, I really don't think Captain Jia's music is against the harmony at the funeral. Don't you think it looks like a great dancer? There is also the charm of a Taoist chanting. Really, change the words and use it as a spell used."

   "Captain Jia has filled the blank of rock in my country's funeral industry!"

  Han Xiaoxiao read the comments and was a little dumbfounded.

   "This group of fans is probably really sick."

  This is the first time Han Xiaoxiao saw that when listening to the song, others scolded him as sick, but the listener really thought he was sick. If it were other fans, there would be no need for others, just the fans of the Great Demon King. If someone dared to say that, they would have already turned to the air. Whoever is like this group of music listeners really thinks that they are sick.
