As the movie began, the crowd that had filled the hall finally poured into the screening room, and the movie began to play.
In the American version of 'Titanic', there were people salvaging the sunken ship at the beginning. However, in the Chinese version, there were seven Chinese people with a dirty braid at the back of their heads. They looked confused and unkempt at the beginning.
At this time, these seven Hua Xia people were actually standing on the streets of London, the most modern city at the beginning of the 20th century, which was also the Ying State, looking blankly at the cars that were running on the streets.
The surrounding city was moving, but these seven Hua Xia people were motionless, and even their expressions did not change.
"Dehua, it's really Dehua!"
"And Brother Long!" The fans in the screening room shouted excitedly, but this was the last time they would scream in the screening room.
Then, at this time, the narrator said, "My grandfather is called Leng Gou, Leng as in cold, and Gou as in wild dog. He said that it was easy to raise such a lowly name, and that he would not be taken away by the King of Hell when he was young!"
"Although my grandfather lived to adulthood, he was still taken in by the King of Hell. He was sold as a pig to London, the Ying State, and became a worker who could not see the light of day. There were six friends with him. My grandfather asked me to call them granduncles, and they were all sworn brothers. "
"These seven Hua Xia workers from the darkest, ugliest, and most tragic era of Hua Xia are now standing on the streets of the most prosperous and advanced city in the world at that time. Their blankness and the world became the most vivid picture!"
"This is the first time they have appeared on the streets of London, and it will also be the last time they appear on this street, because they have been assigned jobs by the plumbers and become boilermen on a huge ship called the Titanic. If nothing unexpected happens, they will stay in the boiler room of the Titanic for the rest of their lives, forever accompanied by the dark coal and the red flames!"
"And today, it's the 90th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. I heard that a group of salvagers who were trying to find the legendary gem, the Heart of the Sea, on the Titanic found the Titanic buried deep at the bottom of the sea, dug out some things, and organized this exhibition."
At this moment, the scene changed. The young man who spoke just now appeared in the exhibition hall of a museum. The actress who played the role of the old woman also appeared. They stood together in front of a sketch. Then, the old woman looked at the cute Hua Xia in front of her and began to tell her story.
Thus, the movie began to play out according to the United States version of the story. However, unlike the United States version where the opening scenes were all about Jack and Rosebud, this version was interspersed with many scenes and stories of the workers.
Show them their hard work, and listen to their occasional sad story of the past, of the sufferings of their country, of the poor labourer who died tragically in the boiler room because his braid was set on fire.
These were all filmed later. The parts that were directed and directed by Cameron were actually all scenes of escape. There were no scenes of daily life in the boiler room at all.
However, the more Boss Jia went back, the more he thought about it. In this case, they would only show their faces in the movie. They would not be able to express the core of the Hua Xia people that they wanted to express.
Therefore, Boss Jia suggested that Cameron film more scenes of the Hua Xia labourers, but Cameron firmly refused.
"This is my movie, not yours!" At one point, Cameron even had a fierce argument with Boss Jia. Cameron could accept the suggestion of shooting a few more minutes of the Hua Xia labourers' escape scenes, or showing a group portrait scene.
However, Cameron would never agree to something like Boss Jia, which almost changed the entire plot of the movie.
In the end, the two of them reached an agreement. Boss Jia could find someone to film the plot according to his own ideas, but this part of the plot could only be included in the Hua Xia version of the movie. The movie versions of any other country in the world would still be played according to the original version.
This was because in the contract, Boss Jia guaranteed that Cameron had absolute control. Otherwise, Cameron had the right to refuse the release of the movie. Moreover, Boss Jia did not have to worry. If he changed the plot according to his own ideas, it was very likely that it would cause the movie to collapse.
Therefore, in the end, Boss Jia decided to only play this version of "Titanic" with the core of the Hua Xia version of "Hua Xia" only in Hua Xia. Therefore, Boss Jia found Chen Kai. Although this director's character was a little bad, he still had a foundation.
Initially, Chen Kai was a little unwilling to participate. What was the point of changing someone else's movie and not even having the right to sign his name, even if it was Cameron's movie?
However, after Boss Jia expressed his idea, Chen Kai nodded. He thought of the painful years in Hua Xia, so he thought about it for three days and sorted out a small script. Then, he reconstructed the set and organized Dehua and the others to complete the shooting.
This was also because Boss Jia had some face. Otherwise, if he let these big stars come over to film, it would be simply tormenting.
However, Boss Jia was not stingy. He paid each of them 3 million Hong Kong dollars for their hard work. Naturally, these stars had nothing to say.
At the climax of the movie, the plot of the labourers' plot and the romance plot were almost the same. Jack and Rosebud were talking about love while the labourers were saving themselves and saving people. In the end, they succeeded in saving dozens of people.
Of course, this part was still shot by Cameron. Boss Jia reshot it later, but he could not find a sunken Titanic.
All in all, under Boss Jia's magical modification, Hua Xia's version of "Titanic" was worthy of the movie poster with Boss Jia standing in the center position. The various plots of the Hua Xia labourers' plot added up to about 25 minutes. It could almost be considered as the second storyline in the movie.
As for how the movie's box office would be after the changes, whether or not it would change a godly movie into a terrible one, Boss Jia did not care if Douban's 9.6 points fell to 6.6 points.
Anyway, in his previous life, Hua Xia's box office was only 350 million RMB. It did not matter, as long as he was happy with the changes.
At the end of the movie, old black and white photos were used to show the real history of the six Hua Xia labourers. Especially these six labourers who saved 23 lives were used as scapegoats and sent to Brazil to continue working hard. In the end, three of them died early. Two of them did not have any children. Only an old man lived to the age of 70 and had his own descendants.
"Sister, what do you think of this movie?" After the movie finished, Jia Jiafeng asked Jia Jiayue.
"It's nothing much. Originally, there was a complete storyline, but another storyline was forcefully stuffed in. It's too stiff. It feels like it's completely mixed together!" As a professional director, Jia Jiayue frowned and said.
"Then, did our big brother make changes to this movie?" Jia Jiafeng asked curiously. She knew that Boss Jia loved to make magical modifications. She also knew that Boss Jia had made a special version of "Hua Xia".
"Theoretically speaking, it was indeed a terrible modification. He ruined a perfect movie!" Jia Jiayue sighed. Then she looked at the surrounding young audience members who were constantly wiping their tears and asking why they were treated like this even though they had done a good deed. She then said, "However, this may be a lucky hit!"
