When he saw Cameron again, Zhou Fangyuan could clearly see the tired look on the other party's face.

"You should have rested more. ”

Zhou Fangyuan looked at Cameron with some concern.

It's not that I'm worried that the other party will die suddenly, Cameron will be alive and well for the next ten years, but seeing him tired like this, Zhou Fangyuan is a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Cameron smiled, his eyes were very bright, giving people a very spiritual feeling, in stark contrast to the haggard expression on his face, "Don't worry about me, you're here to watch the movie, it's almost cut, you can take a look." ”

Cameron stretched widely, leaned back in his chair, and started playing the movie that had just been cut.

In fact, this kind of thing does not need to be done by the director, the crew has editors, and the editors will cut the film according to the director's requirements. However, usually directors with a very strong personal style, or when they attach special importance to the film, the director will also cut the film himself. After all, no one can understand movies better than the director, the movie is made by him, every shot, every picture, the meaning behind it and what he wants to express, the director knows best. is the only one who can show all this as much as possible when cutting the film.

The movie begins.

There is no sound effect, because the sound effect has not been added yet, and you can see the picture after that. And even if it's a picture, it's more than 200 minutes, more than 3 hours.

The name of the first part of the movie has been decided, called "Warcraft: The Lich King's Awakening", and the entire content of the first movie is mainly about the experience of the Lich King Arthas's growth.

The whole film uses a very strong pen and ink to describe how Arthas became a beloved prince, and how he became a father-killing executioner, his birth, growth, experience, how he joined the Knights of the Silver Hand, how he rose to prominence in it, how he eliminated the Zuaman trolls, and how he changed his mindset in the defense of Steinbrad. Of course, his relationship with Gianna is also very important, in order to make this character more plump and flesh-and-blood, the movie can be described in great detail, telling all of Alsace's growth experience.

But it was so detailed, so detailed that even some of the trivial things about Alsace's life were told clearly.

It can be seen that Blizzard has also put a lot of effort into this movie, they have perfected Alsace's upbringing, he is no longer a famous online character, through the movie, he is simply a living person.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't speak, he kept silently looking at the picture on the screen, until he saw Arthas pull out the frost sorrow and become the Lich King, he stopped watching it, and there is a long paragraph behind, the main content is how Arthas killed his father and how he destroyed the content of the Well of the Sun, it can be said that this movie is very well made. The money is not spent in vain, the special effects are quite good, and they have almost reached the extreme of this era - of course, it can't be better, but it's not necessary, the special effects are too expensive, the fees are calculated by frames, and more than half of the huge shooting funds are put on the special effects. If you want to get better special effects, you basically have to invest tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But anyway, the movie was very well made, even if there was no sound, Zhou Fangyuan was very happy to watch it.

But now there is another problem, that is, the length of the movie is terrible, more than 200 minutes, more than three hours, which is almost the time of two movies.

Because the time for human beings to hold urine is limited, one and a half disappears, which is almost the limit of a soak of urine, from nothing to something until it can't be held, and the movie generally does not exceed this time limit, because once the audience can't hold it anymore and gets up to go to the toilet, there will be a fault in the plot of the whole movie, which will affect the viewing experience.

It can't be helped, the human body is like this, and these things have to be taken into account.

And Cameron suddenly made a three-hundred-minute movie, what kind of rhythm is this?

"If I could, I would have liked to have split the film into two parts. ”

"Two parts?"

Zhou Fangyuan was slightly stunned.

"Yes, two parts, the role of Arthas is too important, I have read the entire copy of the Warcraft plot, and it can be seen that Arthas has a very strong role in promoting the plot of Warcraft, and his every move has affected many later changes, and even directly caused the continuous separation and union of the two camps of the Alliance and the Horde. It would be a pity if such an important character could not be depicted often enough. ”

"But the trilogy that was originally booked......"

"I know, but the second part of the original plan, in fact, is more about spreading out the world view, the Burning Legion, Azeroth, the Alliance, the Horde, the Elder Gods, and all the forces, the main content of the second part is these things, although Arthas is the promoter, but his role is too little, it is not enough to become the main protagonist of the whole film, not to mention that we have to lead to the plot about Illidan and Kael'thas through the content of the second part, and their roles will become heavier, if you expect to improve the character of Alsace through the second movie, I can only say that this is not advisable, because there simply wasn't enough time and content to guarantee Alsace's role.

As for the third part, the Northern Expedition to Northrend, the most important characters at that time were still not all Alsace, the Silver Northern Expedition, the Alliance Tribes, and the Titan Guardians...... In the second part, the main messenger behind the Burning Legion is the Titan, leaving a foreshadowing from here, letting the audience know that the interior of this planet is actually a Titan. But why did the Titans attack the Titans? In the third part, the appearance of the Titan Guardian will explain some of it, including the content that really leads to the Old Gods, which is also a foreshadowing.

In short, the plot of the second and third parts is too complicated, and it is no longer an Alsace one-man show, and if you want to make this movie into a classic series, I think the Alsace part has to be portrayed. I've already observed this character, and I can't say it's the most important character in the whole story, but it's quite important. He is the beginning of this whole series of films, and he has to do it well enough to make the audience interested in him enough, so that when he finally falls and dies, he can resonate even more. ”

Cameron slumped back in his chair and said slowly.

I have to admit that his words are still very reasonable, but Zhou Fangyuan has his own worries.

"If the plot is so long and there is so much filling, will it cause the audience to be impatient......?

"Don't worry, the main story has always been there, and the main line of the first part is the growth history of Alsace, and I just cut it off. And don't worry, the audience will be interested, I heard that the game has been completed and ready to be launched?And before that, the plot of Alsace in Warcraft 3 has also been presented to players, and now it can be said that there is a certain audience base. And who do you think I am? I'm Cameron, and my movies will definitely make the audience pay, and you can rest assured of that. ”

Cameron's eyes are bright, and his body is full of domineering.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at him and nodded with a wry smile.

"Well, I'll admit you convinced me, so where are you going to cut off the plot?"

"Of course, after Arthas purified Stratholme, at that time he happened to experience the tragic death of his people and the departure of his lover, and he couldn't wait to take revenge on the murderer, and wanted to wash away his sins, and the first part of the two-part series of Alsace's growth history ended here, leaving a little suspense. The second part is his experience in Northrend, from landing, to finding the murderer, fighting the local monsters in Northrend, and finally pulling up the Frost Grief and becoming a death knight under the command of the Lich King. Then he killed his own and took it back, returned to Lordaeron with his soldiers, killed his father, destroyed his country, and the second part is the history of the fall of Alsace.

Only by depicting the depravity in sufficient detail can we show the evil of his person more, and when he finally falls to the ground and looks at his father's soul, can we arouse the sympathy of the audience even more, after all, we are not portraying a simple villain, but a tragic prince who was led by sinister people because of his lack of experience. ”

"Well, you're right, I agree with you. ”

Zhou Fangyuan nodded.

He can't agree with it, Cameron has arranged it for him clearly, and what he said is indeed reasonable, and it is impossible for him to refuse now.

And then again, the original plan for the money they invested was only to shoot the first part of the trilogy, but now Cameron has divided the movie into two, that is, they used the money of one movie to shoot two movies, although it is different from the plan, but no matter how you look at it, it is a big advantage.

So thinking about it this way, it's actually not bad, it's nothing more than the publicity may cost more than expected, but it doesn't matter, these are two movies after all, spend more money on publicity, as long as you can make money.

Zhou Fangyuan was completely persuaded by Cameron and completely agreed with his idea.

"By the way, I want to know, my movie ...... When are you going to start shooting?"

"It's up to you, you're the director, I'm just an investor. ”

"So, I'm actually asking you when your money will be available?"

Cameron sat up slightly straighter, "Actually, I can find someone else to invest, but since we've already agreed, I can't leave you and do it alone." ”

"Haha, of course, I don't agree if you want to get rid of me. Money, this kind of thing can't be fully in place at any time, and making a movie is not to throw all the money into it all at once, so let's use the time this year and next year to make the last two movies in Alsace, and after the shooting, the Warcraft movie can come to an end for the time being. At that time, you can start filming Avatar, and my money will be in place, you can rest assured. ”

"Well, that's what you said......"

Cameron shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in his chair, "I'm on your thief ship, and I'll have to finish your movie for you before it's my turn." ”

"Haha, who made us friends? Now that you are a shareholder of my media company, you will have to pay more attention to the development of the company in the future. ”

"Don't say that, I have invested in a lot of companies, I am only responsible for making money, I don't care about other things......"

"Then you don't count, friend, since you have become a shareholder of the company, you can't ignore the development of the company, at least occasionally go to Huaxia to participate in a talk show or something, you can't shirk this matter. ”

"Can I withdraw my shares?"

"What do you say?"

chatted with Cameron for a long time before Zhou Fangyuan left the crew.

Xu Ruxuan and Xingru have already returned to China, including Han Jiaren, although their respective roles are very important, but as far as the Alsace series of movies is concerned, to be honest, there are not too many scenes for them, that is, they just show their faces. In the future, if the movie plan goes well, there will be more movies and TV series shooting, and then their roles will gradually increase, and they may even become the protagonists, but for now, they can only be regarded as supporting roles in supporting roles.

After coming out of the Warcraft crew, Zhou Fangyuan first rested for a night, and after cleaning up An Lin so much that he couldn't get out of bed, he got dressed and cleaned up and came to the filming site of Iron Man.

Iron Man was filmed later than Warcraft, and Jon and Cameron were more than a little less able to control the crew, but fortunately, there were no real big names in the crew, so fortunately nothing happened. But it's normal that the shooting speed can't go up, when Zhou Fangyuan arrived, the movie was still in the post-production stage, and the reshooting shots were also continuing, so it can be said that there should be about half a year before it can be released.

That's okay, the first part of Warcraft will go first, and when Warcraft will be next, Iron Man will go up, and when Iron Man will be next, this year is estimated to have passed, and then next year will be the second part of Warcraft.

Because it was filmed in one go, the addiction schedule can be tighter, and it happens to have a more effective linkage with the World of Warcraft that has just been launched, Zhou Fangyuan suddenly found that in fact, it is also beneficial to split the first part, which can continue to have an impact on World of Warcraft, convert more players into audiences, or convert more audiences into players, which is good for both movies and games.

For Zhou Fangyuan's arrival, the members of the Iron Man crew were very enthusiastic, which can be seen from Zhou Fangyuan's opening the door and getting off the car.
