Subtitle of this chapter: Chao creates a new world

“cut!”

"bravo!wellplayed!" (Translation: OK! Good acting!)

"Ba!Ba!Ba!"

After this part, there were warm applause and applause. When our Master Yuan looked for the voice, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Mr. Theodore Edison, why are you here?"

"Ah?" Mr. Edison was stunned for a moment, and then said with confidence, "Mr. Yuan, this is my warehouse. Can't I come and have a look?"

Yuan Yan thought about it and had to think about it, so she didn't think that she didn't see this little Edison. Instead, she turned her head and said to the director: "Lilian, I didn't expect the first one to be so smooth. Your rehearsals these days are really efficient."

It is not the party night on December 12, 1920, but six days later. Today, the female star and the female director are dressed a little... Well, it can be said to be shocking because she is wearing a men's suit and tie.

In 1920, women wearing men's clothes were definitely strange clothes. If it were Cialis, it was "suspense to the demon". If this crime was to be held in my Dameng and I, the Qing Dynasty, would be abandoned, that is, they would be beheaded. And the Western women dressed in women in this era were also very avant-garde. There was a plot in "Downton Abbey" that described before and after World War I. The third sister in it wore a pair of pants and had dinner, which caused a storm.

Miss Lilian Jish dresses this way to make herself look more like a big director. Of course, Master Yuan, who has a very "vanguard" aesthetic taste, also likes neutral dress like "Ms. Lovers".

The man-dressed beauty smiled and said, "That's not that your script is well written. Everyone really feels that they can't live up to such a good script, so they all work hard."

To be honest, the script of "Twelve People" is really good.

The most critical factor is naturally the main creator. Yuan Yanshu, the time traveler, actually has one... Well, it is actually four ready-made classic scripts from the United States, Russia, China and Japan. It is enough to just change the case and role in it, and there is no need to change the main line at all.

Of course, the two Chinese and Japanese versions of these four versions of "Twelve Angry Man" are a bit out of place with the United States in 1920, so they have no reference value. Especially the version of "Twelve Gentle Japanese" is too joking, and it looks like a lunatic. It is better to say it is a comedy than a serious drama.

The Russian version was filmed by Russian national treasure director Nikita Mikharkov. He is known as the Russian Steven Spielberg. However, his ambitions are too great. This film condenses the current situation of Russian society being divided and struggling after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and also has to question human nature. The 12 jurors in the play continue to complain about the history of revolutionaries: Jewish intellectuals, Chechen Wars, Nazi Party, gambling, Caucasus, CCCP, class division... and so on. This requires too high a requirement for actors and directors. Our Master Yuan can't even shoot it.

However, he was not very satisfied with the original version of the United States. Like most Hollywood movies, the male lead played by Henry Fonda is too heavy and too glorious. The supporting roles are quite stereotyped and hollow, so it greatly weakens the criticality of reality and the display of human nature.

Therefore, every character in Yuan Yanshu's "Twelve People" is closer to ordinary people.

For example, the protagonist he "played" himself, Juror No. 6 is a playboy. The only reason why he was the only one who thought the defendant was innocent at the beginning was that he was a little merciful and couldn't bear to deprive a beauty of her life in just a few minutes of a vote.

So the juror No. 6 proposed that at least one more careful examination of the case before voting was conducted. This is the same as the original work. If everyone still thinks that the defendant is guilty, then he will not raise objections again. The plot will unfold...

Since Yuan Yanshu, the main creator, replaced a fictional father-killing case with a husband-killing case that occurred in reality, the theme of this movie naturally went astray, and it went to the direction of feminism.

It has to be pointed out that feminism has become a very "safe" public issue after the progressive era. If our Master Yuan is now hyping up racial equality, then even if he has a tacit understanding with the Republican Party, he will be sent back to China; if he jumps out and says he is an atheist in a high profile, then the phd of New York University is really a bit lingering; if he works towards the direction of the successor of communism...

“Pickup.”

But he is fighting for legitimate rights and interests for women. Not to mention America, even if it is Cyris, whoever scolds him is a feudal remnant that goes against the trend. For him, the master of neoclassical liberalism, scolding is healthier and more free.

What's even better is that this feminist theme is very suitable for these twelve screenwriters to "compose together".

They are all professional writers, including Theodore Dresser, Vera Cather, Ts-Eliot, Fitzgerald and Ai Craftsman, these five real writers who are not mixed with water at all. These people are all left-wing tendencies. Well, Ai Craftsman is not counted.

Others are also intellectuals who eat the text line. Even if they have never eaten anything, they have seen anything running. At least the amount of reading is not comparable to that of ordinary people. They can barely do it to build an inner world of a not-complex character.

The 12 jurors found out from the beginning that the defendant's husband was not a good thing, and Mrs. Dempsh could at least excuse the charge of murder in self-defense.

At this time, someone, such as Ms. Cather, the "devoted Christian", jumped out to accuse the defendant of having an affair. They followed this idea and turned their eyes to the salesman, and found that he was not a good thing, and that lying was very suspicious.

Then they began to study witnesses such as the landlord and neighbors, and once again found that these guys also wanted to take advantage of the defendant. Those witnesses were very likely to have wronged the poor woman because they were rejected by Mrs. Dempsh in the past.

The scene became awkward, and the 12 jurors felt guilty towards women one after another. They finally realized that they were also one of the culprits of the tragedy.

As the plot unfolds, they examine the case of the murder of their husbands and the relationship between them as men and women around them. Through these male characters from all walks of life, the film ultimately examines the marriage and social status of men and women.

The theme was sublimated at once?

No wonder as a woman, Miss Lilian Gishch loved this script so much. She saw the shadow of her mother in the role of Mrs. Dempsh. Her mother also led her sisters away angrily because she was often abused by domestic violence.

She didn't really want to be the director of "The Twelve People" and felt that she was not capable enough. But in the end she really couldn't bear such a good script, so she had to bite the bullet and go on it.
