Creative background of Roman gangsters

There are many people who like to watch movies, we are called movie fans. There are many types of movie fans. Some have thousands of DVDs collected at home, and whether they want to watch them or not depends on the person. Others are fluent in talking about a certain type of movie and are more expert than experts. Some, after watching these discs, they whimsically said: Let’s make one too!

The movie dream is a very luxurious dream. Because everyone knows that this costs a lot of money! As our beloved The One said in the movie: Money! Lots and lots of money! Then a row of safes came roaring in. When they were opened, they found a variety of strong currencies inside. Then everyone sang and danced and sang together: When we have money, we will make movies and become directors; Damn, I want to make literature and art, and I want to make commercials and commercials; make two versions of the movie, one will be the box office champion, and one will be given as a gift at the international film festival.

Everyone sighed and woke up in the teahouse or coffee shop, and then continued their busy lives after the birds and animals dispersed. It's just that the thoughts in my heart still stubbornly retain a weak fire. No matter what, at least I can watch the DVD to comfort myself.

Then, there is such a movie - using existing movies, re-editing and dubbing, and using your own way to deconstruct and elaborate your own ideas. To put it bluntly, this is a game to entertain yourself and your friends.

But if this game spirit can persist and reach a certain scale, it will begin to have the potential to delight more people. "Gangs of Rome" is a movie that I don't even feel comfortable calling a "movie". Because we basically used the footage from the classic movie "Roman Holiday" to re-edit and dub it, and then added some footage we shot ourselves based on our plot, and finally formed a brand new character relationship and story. It is precisely because of these characteristics that I feel it cannot be regarded as a "movie". If you want to find a more appropriate term, I think "fan film" might be more appropriate.

The so-called "fan movies" are actually movies that fans are familiar with and re-edit and dub them to make fun of them. Short films such as "Family Separation in October" and "Grain", as well as "Da Shi Ji" that have been circulated on the Internet, can be regarded as the earliest pioneers in the country. Just because of various reasons such as subject matter, content, copyright, etc., they are not separated from the way of online communication. To some extent, this undoubtedly affects their spread, causing more people to hear about them but not see them.

"Gangs of Rome" can be regarded as the first "fan film" produced on a certain scale in China. The reason why it is different from other short movies is that it does not simply re-edit and dub old movies. At the same time, in order to adapt to the new story and character relationships, the producers summoned some of the top professional colleges and universities in China. They were even revolutionary comrades in Central Station and Beijing Station. Not only did he shoot a lot of new scenes, but he also wrote a separate theme song and interlude for the film - and it is these original scenes and music that form the most dramatic and comic conflict scenes in the film.

From this point, we can already see the concept of "creation". What we see in "Gangs of Rome" is not just a few fans showing off their cleverness and teasing, but using their own attitude and method to reinterpret a story that everyone already knows and give it a new twist. vitality.

As the continuation of the Internet spirit in real life, we have seen many precedents. First the publishing industry, and then the gaming industry, began to pay attention to the commercial potential of online culture. Now, although we dare not say that the film industry has begun to pay attention to Internet culture, at least this trend has begun. As a representative form of Internet culture, "spoof movies", which can also be regarded as "fan movies", can not only be circulated on the Internet, but also formally produced movies have begun to involve this subject. Hollywood's "Scary" series, which has been a hit in recent years, can be regarded as the most popular among the audiences.

No one will treat a movie like this with a harsh attitude. Because everyone knows that this is just an alternative form of entertainment. Just like many people like to watch gossip about celebrities, as a movie fan, I see familiar movie clips being re-presented in an unexpected way. , which is undoubtedly also a kind of fun.

Because, at this time, we see the other side of the movie that is not so glorious, but a side that is closer to our lives.

This kind of game spirit and nonsensical attitude, as well as the persistence of treating hobbies with a professional attitude, are what we should appreciate and be our colleagues.

Because we can’t wait for the day when we can sing and dance together, we celebrate our movie dreams in our own way in the movie. Although some people may think this is boring, but if it is not done unintentionally, how can you spend your life with a career? It is enough to be able to express one's ideas in the spirit of games and in an equal way, and spread them to please more people of the same mind.
