Chapter 517: Shoot a Fantasy World
People who are busy don't necessarily succeed.
But there are no successful people who are not busy.
In fact, who of them are idle?
However, no matter how busy they are, they often find time to gather. No matter how good the relationship is, if you haven't seen it for a long time, it will be weak.
They clearly cherish this hard-won friendship.
Nowadays, materialism is rampant and money is paramount, and such friendships are even more precious.
Everyone got together, chatted for a while, and the film began.
"Journey to the West: Fu Demon", as the second film adapted from "Journey to the West", is still very concerned.
The story of the film is very simple to put it bluntly.
It is the story of the Tang monk and apprentice who went west and were stopped by the demon clan, and then clashed with it, with the help of Heaven and Lingshan, the Tang monk and apprentice survived the disaster and continued to travel west.
As for why the demon clan stopped Tang Seng and others from traveling west, some people, like the original book, wanted to obtain the flesh and blood of Tang Seng X's meritorious body and live forever.
It is also because it is seen that Tang Seng and others traveled west to learn scriptures, which is not good for the demon clan in the world, especially the demon clan in Xiniu Hezhou.
Of course, there are also people who simply don't like Buddhism and want to block Buddhism.
For whatever reason, they became an obstacle to the westward journey.
There is no pure good and evil. Either they have different positions, or they are motivated by interests, or they are motivated by enmity.
Tang Seng rescues Sun Wukong as the opening of the film.
And the appearance of Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Little White Dragon are all integrated into the plot and appear as a small climax.
The plot is compact, and the contradictions escalate under the small climaxes, and finally evolve into a big war between Heavenly Court and Lingshan and the demon clan.
Of course, Sun Wukong is the first protagonist, and Tang Seng is the second, and there are also a lot of roles such as Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng.
In this film, although there are female characters, there are not many scenes.
As for the heroine, it naturally doesn't exist.
In this film, if there is any bloody emotional drama, it is estimated that in the eyes of many people, it will be a bit nondescript.
Of course, the reason why there is no emotional drama is from the plot.
If you add emotional dramas, it will inevitably affect the overall rhythm of the plot.
At the end of the film, the battle between gods and demons, the special effects picture, is naturally very amazing.
This is also the consistent style of Dawn film and television commercial blockbusters.
In fact, Hollywood commercial blockbusters are indispensable for big scenes in the end.
"This film, I'm afraid that some of the original party complaints. ”
At the end of the film, Marin said with a smile.
"I think it's good. "However, it feels a bit wasteful to combine multiple stories into one film! That's all money!"
"If it is filmed into several stories, it will inevitably be a little delayed. Mu Chen said, "This film is aimed at the global market, and naturally there is a big gap between it and the original book." ”
"People who haven't watched the original book, haven't watched the TV series, and even fans who haven't watched the previous work "Havoc in Heaven", watching this film will not be affected. Mu Chen continued.
Why? This is the result of a long discussion with the company.
Didn't Mu Chen, Chen Fuhai and others think about expanding the story into several movies?
Thought!
In the end, though, he gave up.
The premise of making a few more films is that each film must be successful.
If the word-of-mouth box office of this film is not satisfactory, then the subsequent films will also become a mirror flower, and every time the market is based, it will be meaningless to shoot again.
What's more, Mu Chen didn't plan to adapt too many movies from Journey to the West.
There is a limit to any IP movie.
Mu Chen actually hopes to shoot that kind of extended movie, a recreated movie like "The Return of the Great Sage", which is more marketable in Mu Chen's view.
"Find a place to sit and talk, this is not a place for small talk. Mu Ze said with a smile.
I found a clubhouse, played ball, had fun and relaxed, and then started chatting again.
"I heard that Thanos is going to make a personal movie?" Marin looked at Mu Chen, saw him nodding, and said, "Then the Guardian Alliance will be postponed." ”
Mu Chen nodded.
It's no secret that Thanos makes personal movies.
Marin naturally heard about this.
"And what are you going to shoot next year?" Marin asked, "Isn't it going to be Hollywood?"
"I'm going to make a fantasy movie. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "If possible, I don't mind filming a fantasy world." ”
After all, Mu Chen is a Chinese director, and he is more willing to bring Chinese culture to the world through his films.
"Fantasy World?" Marin was stunned for a moment and said, "Like your cinematic universe?"
"It should be a protagonist who runs through the whole world. Mu Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”
It means that it's just an idea now, and there is not even a shadow of the script yet. Marin twitched the corners of his mouth and said.
"That's right!" Mu Chen nodded and said, "What about you, what do you think about the new film? Or are you going to take a break for a while and solve your personal problems first?"
"If you don't mention it, we can still have a good time. Marin pouted.
"Why did you suddenly think of filming a fantasy world?" Wang Hao asked casually, "Your superhero movie universe is enough for you to shoot for a lifetime." ”
"If it were you, would you make a movie like that for the rest of your life?" Mu Chen pouted and said.
"He's not interested in those superhero movies anymore. Zhao Jin said.
"Fantasy movies are okay in the domestic market, but not so well in the international market. Su Xiaowan glanced at Mu Qing and the others who were playing not far away, and said with a smile.
"It depends on who did it. Wang Hao said, "Isn't there still a shortage of film types for Mu Chen?"
That seems to be true, too.
Mu Chen has made many unpopular movie genres, and almost every movie has brought that genre to the fire.
Or even directly to the fire.
Of course, there are also some genres, and then they have been left unnoticed by countless followers.
is like martial arts movies and kung fu films, and there are really no films that can pass the box office now.
"Actually, I'm not that sure. Mu Chen shook his head and said.
He wasn't that sure, and that wasn't modest.
After all, this film is not only original, but also a fantasy theme that does not have much market in the world.
In recent years, Chinese films have gradually expanded in foreign markets, but in addition to Mu Chen's superhero movies, the best box office response is undoubtedly some action movies and magic films, such as mythological fairies with oriental colors, and fantasy-themed films, which are not very good.
"Actually, I just have a rough idea. ”
Mu Chen saw everyone's expression of "I believe you are a ghost", smiled bitterly, and said.
Having a cult of personality is a must.
Could it be that the movies I make are all full of certainty?
"Tell me. Ma Lin then said, still very curious about Mu Chen's so-called general thoughts.
The others also looked at it with curiosity.
"In the depths of the universe where cold and darkness coexist, nine huge dragon corpses are coming to the earth with a bronze coffin," Mu Chen said, "The protagonist and a group of supporting characters traveled to Mount Tai for a class reunion, but they landed on the top of Mount Tai with the Nine Dragons coffin............"
Mu Chen's "idea" actually originated from a network in his previous life.
However, Mu Chen didn't finish reading it, and he didn't have time to finish it.
In contrast, Mu Chen prefers to watch movies and television to pass his free time, rather than.
Although he didn't finish watching it, Mu Chen was too impressed by the opening Nine Dragons coffin and the Xianxia world in the starry sky, which made him can't help but put it on the big screen.
The Internet, which is generally very long, is very difficult to adapt, especially if it involves a large number of special effects.
The TV series may be able to carry that kind of content, but the special effects are poor and have to be smashed. The special effects are good, but it is difficult to return to the cost.
It is a big difficulty to shoot it into a movie and delete the plot and characters.
If you are not careful, you will be scolded by the original party.
However, there is no such thing in this world, and Mu Chen has not finished reading this one, so he adapted it again to reduce the difficulty.
It's less difficult, but it's not without it.
"Gone?"
"Finished?"
"Go on!"
......
Mu Chen kept silent, but Ma Lin and the others couldn't help but say.
It seems that they were attracted by Mu Chen's "idea", especially the Nine Dragons coffin at the beginning, which left an extremely deep impression on them.
"That's what I wanted. Mu Chen spread his hands and said.
If it is said according to the original book, Mu Chen will naturally be able to continue.
But Muchen's film is not in accordance with the original book.
Even, except for the Kowloon coffin at the beginning, the plot behind it has little to do with the original work.
Of course, some of the characters in the film will still have some references.
For example, the lazy and shameless, greedy and arrogant big black dog who values love and righteousness.
There is one more such "cute pet" around the protagonist, which is sometimes very eye-catching.
"I'm looking forward to your film. Li Ruolin said with a smile.
"That's it, don't tell me, you haven't even thought of the title. Wang Hao said.
"I've got the title in mind. Mu Chen smiled and said.
"What's it called?" Marin asked.
"Covering the sky!" Mu Chen said lightly.
"This name is domineering!" Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Why do you want to call it this name?" Mu Ze asked.
The title of a film is not something that can be taken casually.
Even, the title of the film has some impact on the box office of the film.
Just like in general, a good book title can instantly attract the reader's attention. If it's a bad title, even if the title is seen by readers again and again, I'm afraid there is no interest in clicking on it.
"Why?" Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "Nine Dragons pulled the coffin, did he return to ancient times, or did he come to the other side of the starry sky? The blood is boiling like a volcano, the passion is like a surging sea, and the desire is endless like an abyss. Ascend to the sky, walk on songs, and cover the sky with a snap of your fingers. ”
"Covering the sky with a snap of your fingers?" Marin was stunned, and seemed to have a feeling of not being aware of the calendar.
"How do I feel like a synopsis!" Wang Hao pouted and said with some complaints.
It's not like, it's it!
Will I tell you that the title of the film is the title of the book?
No, it won't!
Mu Chen smiled faintly.
