Unfortunately, in this high school attended by Ryan, Wade and emmett, Felkins is the source of horror that makes freshmen shudder, and its evil degree will soon catch up with the devil who eats people and doesn't spit bones. So the three men decided to find a way to save themselves before the terrorist rule of Wilkins completely spread to them ... They saw an advertisement in a mercenary magazine, which was published by a man named "Bit" Taylor. According to their current economic strength,

However, it is not completely unreasonable that there is no good goods at low prices ... Taylor is far from Ryan, Wade and emmett. The unfortunate veteran is now in a miserable state of homelessness. Although his favorite word is "cosmopolitan", in fact, he has long been tired of the unstable wandering life that always sleeps on the beach floor.

Behind-the-scenes stories about "campus bullies"

For many years, the irresistible, willful, irritable and evil high school bully has been an indispensable material figure in movie comedies-almost a symbolic obstacle between children's innocence and the beginning of adult life. Now, the legendary "school bully" is back in another identity, and continues to extend his ability and tentacles to spread the atmosphere of terror to three freshmen who have just entered high school. These three little bean bags will go through a lively and extreme adaptation process. The first thing to do is to save their campus life. At the same time, they must restore their freedom and rights at school ... Maybe their experience is a little strange, but it is not to the point where they are bullied, teased, tortured or even stuffed with some disgusting things in their lockers.

For some people, the first year of high school is so difficult, especially when you still look a little dull-however, if you are really unfortunate enough to become the target of a difficult school bully, then your high school life will be the most embarrassing and unbearable day of your life, because his purpose is to make you unable to live ... It never rains but it pours, and things will get worse: no one wants to listen. Parents are too busy, and teachers are not surprised. As for other students, they can only stay away from each other in case they become the next tortured person. This is the fundamental reason why Ryan, Wade and emmett are desperate to find ingenious solutions. Why not be surrounded by some professional bodyguards wherever you go, like gangsters, politicians and celebrities on TV? This idea led three freshmen to find a veteran named "Drill" Taylor, who they thought was the legendary ruthless mercenary who was killed with one stroke. But in the end, it was not Taylor who saved Ryan, Wade and emmett's high school life, but Taylor who was helped. Through this experience, he really grew up, solved many problems in his previous life, and his soul was compensated accordingly.

The funny story happened on "Diamond" Taylor, and his unreliable life style changed from wandering the streets to a life full of hope: the image of this teenager's "savior" came from a collision of creative comedy imagination, which began more than 20 years ago with the screenwriter John hughes. Hughes) had an accidental epiphany, and then he created a story outline of more than 40 pages ... Later, this outline fell into the hands of judd apatow, who is the top and best comedy producer today. He has produced a series of super box office champions before, such as Too Bad, One-night Pregnancy and 40-year-old Virgin, which has an unparalleled position in the comedy world. Deciding its plasticity, Alberto gave the story idea to two other powerful and formidable comedy writers: one is christopher brown? Brown), famous for shaping "Ping Si and Big Head Egg" into top pop culture; The other is seth rogen, a movie comedy star. Not only did he write Too Bad, but he also directed and starred in Pineapple Express, which was released later.

Judd apatow also invited two other producers, Susan Arnold (Susan? Arnold) and Donna Akoff Ross (Donna? Akov? Roth), most of their works are comedies, including Bonnie and Joan starring Johnny Depp and Black Boy Will Be in Trouble starring john cusack. Arnold said: "This is a great story idea with a strong theme. We see many interesting elements from this story, so we are willing to participate. " Ross continued: "We began to think about what kind of people would come up with such a story idea, which actually contains so many real textures that can only be found in the contemporary era. Indeed, we only know it through Alberto, but we believe in his talent and keen sense of comedy. We have been looking for opportunities to cooperate with him, and for this type of comedy, you really can't find a more perfect partner than Apache, his love and understanding of children of this age, and his respect and appreciation in the field of comedy-what are we still hesitating about? "

About script creation

For judd apatow, a story frame like Personal Bodyguard is indeed a perfect movie choice, because in his works, it has always been advertised that unbearable noise is integrated into touching human stories, thus creating a unique appeal. From the perspective of Susan Arnold and Donna Akov Ross, this film also represents the opportunity for them to join the ranks of Apache, while * * * explores the path taken by the highly acclaimed comedy Too Bad-remolding Apache's iconic humor on the big screen, and then embedding it into the potential sincerity and humanity. Arnold said: "The films made by Arpaitu before captured some problems faced by today's society very truly, and audiences of any age can find the shadow of * * *."

Later, judd apatow awarded the decision of this story to seth rogen, an actor, screenwriter and producer he often collaborated with, and christopher brown, another screenwriter who was widely recognized in the comedy world and had worked with Apache and Logan before. Apache said: "I think they can definitely feel the theme of the story in the film, and then add some really interesting jokes to the environment of that high school campus." Since Logan and I collaborated in Deformed Man, we seem to have found a movie field that people are familiar with and like. We really got a lot of inspiration from this idea, so we decided to put this great film concept created by john hughes in the 1980s on a unique coat of the times in 2008. "

Christopher Brown and seth rogen began to explore this original story line, which is still in its infancy, and began to write plays on this basis. Brown recalled, "Logan and I have never seen this original way of telling stories." It has a very basic premise-several freshmen and school tyrants are involved in some troubles, so they find a real mercenary from an advertisement in a military magazine. Protect them ... We continued the idea of this story and then completely overturned it to some extent, because we felt that if' drilling' Taylor was set in a completely different situation from what we imagined, it would be more interesting and the jokes would increase. "

Seth rogen also said that he and christopher brown discovered the potential affinity in this story almost without delay, because what was told in it was too close to what happened to them. Logan said piteously, "When I first entered high school, I was threatened by senior students. At that time, I didn't know how to deal with this situation at all, and I cried. I can only say that in fact, in private, people will have some similar experiences more or less. "

In order to form a tragic summary of the three protagonists in the film, seth rogen and christopher brown also recalled their own rich and detailed atypical experiences in high school. They both fantasized that their high school life would be completely different if they had a professional bodyguard who obeyed their orders completely. Brown admitted: "When I first entered high school, my height was less than 6,500. And people my age are going through a long period of rapid physical development. At that time, I was almost as tall as Emmett in the film, wearing suspenders and glasses. In fact, I was quite popular in junior high school, but as soon as I entered the high school campus, I soon realized the change. Everything in the past doesn't work here, and no one wants to be near me ... so many stories told in the movie are borrowed from my own high school days. "

In order to further refine the script, seth rogen, Christopher Brown and judd apatow watched many classic comedy films about high school life, including My Bodyguard directed by Tony Bill in 1980 and Tough Boy, a classic evil film made by Phil Jonu in 1987. Apato said, "Relive these greatest movies of all time.

At the same time, they also made a survey, that is, in the real campus, the existence and cruelty of "campus bullies" are increasing, and about 3 million to 7 million American children are intimidated or threatened by senior students to varying degrees every year. Christopher brown said: "After seeing the results of the survey, when writing a script, we always keep in mind what Ryan, Wade and emmett have experienced, and these things have happened so truly.

Seth rogen and christopher brown also found that the remedies made by adults for the actions of "campus bullies" were really ridiculous and didn't play any role. Brown said, "We found that many high school entrance manuals contain information on how to deal with the threats from senior students, and the suggestions are basically theoretical, useless and stupid. Moreover, these pamphlets also clearly point out that if you are really worried that you will be harassed by the' school bully', then you can't rely on anyone but solve the problem yourself. "
