Chapter 262: New Movie or New Book?

Regarding Guo Yunfan's proposal to make "Farewell My Concubine" into a 3D movie, Lin Bao and Zheng Rong naturally have no problem.

The final form of presentation is, naturally, the more refined the better.

With the popularity of "Avatar" two years ago, a wave of 3D fever has gradually begun to set off in China.

Generally speaking, only movies with sci-fi special effects, mythological backgrounds, or epic fantasy will choose to shoot in 3D. Literary films, I have never seen anyone who can shoot 3D.

After all, 3D films, for the production and distribution side, the cost will increase to a large extent. Second, for the audience, the price of 3D screens is relatively high.

If you want to watch a literary film, you have to use 3D, which is too extravagant.

However, in Lin Bao's "Farewell My Concubine", there may be a part of the opera presented on the stage.

Including facial makeup, costumes and these elements, if they can be presented in 3D, they must be very outstanding. Moreover, in terms of publicity, it is also very beneficial.

Because it involves the subsequent shooting, publicity, etc., the question of whether to shoot in 3D or 2D has been put on hold for the time being.

Mainly, it is still necessary to find a relevant team, use the scenes in Lin Bao's final script and the costumes, etc., and then synthesize some market research data to comprehensively analyze whether it is necessary to shoot in 3D.

......

The film project of "Farewell My Concubine" was basically established, reported, analyzed in the early stage, and formed the team, all of which were handed over to Zheng Rong and the Tang people.

The screenwriter and director is Lin Bao.

When Guo Yunfan and the others left the magic capital, Lin Bao began to prepare the script.

Director, it's definitely not an easy job.

From the beginning of the script, to the official shooting, to the final promotion, it takes a lot of thought.

In terms of the script in the early stage, a serious director will write a storyboard script, the director's explanation, and even include background information, character biographies, etc., I am afraid that these content materials alone are enough to produce a large book.

Lin Bao's side, because he is a screenwriter himself, when he was writing literary scripts before, he discussed the background of the times with several old gentlemen from the Opera Association for half a month.

I am also very confident in the grasp of each character, so in this regard, I don't need to put too much effort into it.

Several main characters, character shifts, including the chain of actions in various scenes, are built in his mind.

After writing the formal storyboard script and the director's explanation, the rest will be discussed and guided with the actors when the filming officially begins.

And in the next period of time, Lin Bao also began to look for actors with the help of Zheng Rong.

The two big protagonists, Duan Xiaolou, are relatively easy to play.

The most important thing is Cheng Dieyi.

In Lin Bao's script, the role of Cheng Dieyi is a typical character, and it is very typical.

He is not only the carrier of the theme of inheritance and perseverance in the whole movie, but also the key triggering node of the story chain from the beginning to the end of the entire movie plot.

The most important thing is that he is in the movie, in and out of the play, the state of "if you don't go crazy, you can't live". Because he wants to play Yu Jixiang, he needs some actors with gentle temperament.

At the same time, the most important thing is that kind of opera everyone, life has become the personal temperament and state of the opera, which is the most difficult.

Zheng Rong looked around in the film and television industry and picked out a few for Lin Bao to see, but they were all vetoed by Lin Bao.

On the side of the Opera Association, it has also recommended many actors who sing Hua Dan Tsing Yi, and even, including Dai Qian, has already been stained in terms of opera temperament, after all, it is his real experience.

However, Lin Bao still felt that he had not reached the feeling of Cheng Dieyi in his heart.

For the time being, among the several opera actors recommended by the Opera Association, I picked two and waited for the final decision.

And during this period of time, the news that Lin Bao Studio, the Opera Association, and Tang Film and Television were going to co-produce movies together also began to spread on the Internet.

It is said that under the leadership of the Opera Association, Lin Bao wants to cooperate with Tang Film and Television to make an opera movie. ”

"Is it a drama film, a literary film, or a stage play?"

"The specific content of the script is not very clear, I heard that it is an original script. ”

"Is it really fake? making opera movies? is it reliable?"

During this time, after the promotion of Lin Bao and Yuan Koi's "Rap Face", on the Internet, or in reality, the popularity of opera has continued. At this time, it is also very possible to shoot opera movies while they are hot. ”

"It is said that Lin Bao wants to be a director!"

"This is nonsense, isn't it? Lin Bao is a music creator, how can he be a director?"

"Before, the director of those two MVs seemed to be him. ”

"You can't make a movie after shooting two MVs?"

"Upstairs, don't forget the book "Self-cultivation of Actors"!"

"Damn! Why did you forget this book! So, it's probably true!"

......

Recently, Lin Bao and the studio have crossed over a bit frequently.

In "Rap Face", the combination with opera, and later with the opera association, set off a small wave of opera fever on the whole network.

After that, there was "Pure Land of Bliss", which is another direction.

And Lin Bao's sudden publication of "The Self-cultivation of Actors" is completely cross-border.

Moreover, this book, whether it is because of Lin Bao's influence or the content itself, has received great attention.

The sales of the whole network have exceeded 600,000, which is absolutely terrifying!

At the same time, it also shows that Lin Bao still has a deep research on performance.

plus those two MVs, then if you want to make a drama movie, it is still very possible for him to be the director.

Even if he has no experience in film directing, then he can be assisted by several assistant directors.

Moreover, Lin Bao is definitely very advantageous in terms of publicity.

Therefore, although there is no official recognition of the statement that "Lin Bao wants to be a director and make opera movies", it is more and more spread on the Internet.

And on the last weekend of November, at the usual webcast in the afternoon, Lin Bao announced the news that the live broadcast was temporarily suspended.

"The whole course is a live music lesson. At the beginning of last year, I talked about the origins of classical music in China. Then, for most of the year, I was talking about the origin of Western music and the development of medieval music. Today, medieval music is coming to an end. ”

Lin Bao said to the audience in the live broadcast room, "Actually, the whole medieval music dragged on for a long time, and even, later, most of the content had nothing to do with real music, and it was all about folk customs." In addition, I need to find time to do some other work next, so from today onwards, the live broadcast in the live broadcast room will be suspended for a while. ”

Hearing Lin Bao say this, the barrage suddenly exploded.

"Won't you broadcast live next? Don't, God Lin Bao, it's okay to change it to a weekly broadcast!"

"Yes, I've been watching it for more than a year, and if I can't see it all of a sudden, I'm still not used to it!"

"Now, if I don't watch a live class of Lin Bao every day, I feel that I can't even sleep well. ”

"Boss Bao'er said that he was going to pause for a while, is he really going to make a movie?"

"That's right! Mr. Lin Bao, are you going to make a new movie? Are you going to be a director? Also, can you reveal the content of the new movie?"

......

Looking at the news on the barrage, Lin Bao smiled faintly.

Because the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is still in the secret stage, according to Zheng Rong and Tang Ren, it is not yet time to reveal the exact news to the outside world, so he did not extend this topic, but mentioned the next new book.

"Actually, during this time, when chatting with many viewers in the live broadcast room and answering questions, I learned that many people now prefer to watch Western magic. Including the online articles that are beginning to rise in China, there are also a lot of Western illusions, which are sought after. ”

Lin Bao said, "And it just so happens that during this period of time, I myself have checked a lot of information because I am live streaming medieval folklore, so next, I may write a Western magic from this perspective." ”

"What? New books?"

"Boss Bao'er is going to cross the border again, and I wrote it? or Western fantasy ?!!"

"I like to watch "The Lord of the Rings" the most, and I hope that Mr. Lin Bao can write a book as wonderful as "The Lord of the Rings"! Then, like "The Lord of the Rings", make a big movie! When the time comes, I will definitely support it!"

"Why is it Western Fantasy, I'm not very interested! Why isn't it our own story in the East! Like "Journey to the West", the Oriental fantasy background like the Flood Wilderness, it looks a little more feeling. ”

"66666, produced by the boss of Bao'er, must be a high-quality product! Just say when it will be released! When the time comes, subscriptions, rewards, physical books, there are a lot!"

"Boss Bao'er, where is it released, when will it come out, can you tell me?"

......

Lin Bao looked at the barrage on the screen, and also told the audience in the live broadcast room about the general situation.

"Because I saw that many viewers in the live broadcast room were very interested in Western fantasy, and in addition, in the past six months, I have always been about medieval folklore, so I thought about using this as the background to write a magic. I'm going to blend in with the whole medieval background, add some folklore that you've learned during this time, and even, if I have the chance, make some epic music based on the whole background.

As for the release time, it hasn't been decided yet, but it won't come out before this year, and I still only have a preliminary story outline, and I still need to further refine the setting. In terms of the release form, I still want to use the form of serialization in the early stage like I wrote the book "The Self-cultivation of Actors" before. Write one, send one, so that we can do some discussion on the plot as if we were watching a live broadcast.

At the same time, it can also be regarded as some responses to the live lectures taught in the past six months, so that everyone can have a deeper and intuitive understanding of the background of power disputes in the Middle Ages. ”

......

"Support serialization!

"It won't be published until the end of the year! I want to see now what kind of Western fantasy written by Mr. Lin Bao!"

"Boss Boa, it doesn't matter what it is, I just want you to make some more epic music like Themass. It's a blast!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's been almost a year! I've been circulating "Themass" for almost a year, and then I listen to other music, I don't feel anything! Mr. Lin Bao, hurry up and make a few more "Themass" songs!"

"Don't say a few, it's okay to have one! Don't engage in any folk songs, love songs, just such epic music, is the future of music!"

......

In the live broadcast room, the discussion of Lin Bao's new book is naturally very good.

Soon, the news spread online.

When Lin Bao got off the live broadcast, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the topic of "Lin Bao's new book" was directly sent to the hot search.

Compared with the previous news on the Internet about Lin Bao going to make a movie, the news of the new book, but Lin Bao said it himself, which naturally made everyone look forward to it.

As for the content of the new book itself, many domestic audiences are not very interested in the fantasy genre, so they don't discuss it too much.

It's just that in some literary circles, there is more discussion.

Mu Yucheng is also one of the people who pays more attention to the content of Lin Bao's new book.

He is a university teacher, and at the same time a lover of physical books, and there are not too many restrictions on the types of books he reads.

The previous book "Actor's Self-cultivation", although he himself has no acting experience and does not have a deep understanding of performance theory, but later got the physical book and flipped through it from beginning to end.

Although he seems to understand the whole performance system expounded by Lin Bao, Mu Yucheng is still very interested in his writing, as well as his creative concept and creative characteristics.

The book "The Self-cultivation of Actors" is not as obscure as the traditional theory book, the whole is a classroom form, which records the daily life of learning in the classroom, integrating theory into daily life, but at the same time, it does not seem very watery.

This is a test of an author's strength!

Lin Bao was able to do this, which shows that he really has a deep understanding of acting, and at the same time, he is also very talented and accumulated in writing.

Therefore, his next book, Mu Yucheng is also very interested and wants to see his grasp of the narrative.

As for the subject matter of the new book, magic, Western fantasy, in recent years, whether it is the West or the East, such books have gradually begun to sell well.

The book "The Lord of the Rings" was a bestseller in the West ten years ago, and a few years ago, it was made into a movie and received a lot of box office.

Mu Yucheng himself has read a lot of Western fantasy, and for those top writers, he is deeply impressed by the structure of the entire world view and the setting of the plot in the work.

Naturally, I am looking forward to what kind of Western fantasy can be written by an Oriental writer and an Oriental cross-border writer.

However, according to Lin Bao, the release of the new book is probably coming to the end of the year, so I can only wait patiently.
