It can be seen that the reason why Tian Xiaopeng proposed a plan to Li Mo in person today is really not the result of wanting to be courteous. Mobile

He seems to have really done a lot of preparation.

With Li Mo's approval, Tian Xiaopeng quickly beckoned several company department heads and other figures to walk into the conference room with materials, and it seemed that even the PPT for the on-site display had been done.

"Brother Mo, I don't think Director Tian seems to be specially prepared for us, right?"

Taking advantage of Tian Xiaopeng's preparations, Feng Wen came to Li Mo's side and muttered in a low voice.

"It's normal," Li Mo pursed his lips, "I heard Brother Zong say that many companies have contacted him during this time, and he should have had a draft a long time ago, and wanted to recommend his new project to them, but he has not received results, so he has stayed until now......

Looking at the staff who were busy preparing, the corners of Li Mo's mouth hooked up a playful smile, "In the case of the success of "The Return of the Great Sage", there are still so many companies that are not optimistic about his new project, I want to know what he has come up with that can make so many people not optimistic about the future development of this project." ”

Later, when the white projection screen in the conference room showed the character setting diagram on the laptop, Li Mo felt that he seemed to have found the reason.

Since the project is still in the early stages of finding inspiration and setting up, Tian Xiaopeng has not shown many character concept design drawings.

Strictly speaking, there are only four characters.

Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian, Xiaoqing...... and Fahai.

At any given time, in the stories related to "The Legend of the White Snake", at least two of the above four characters will appear.

or the love between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, or the old master and apprentice of Xu Xian and Fahai......

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing and Xu Xian, Xu Xian and Fahai, Fahai and Bai Suzhen......

The relationship between any two characters can be used as a dramatic conflict point for a work.

I have to say that even Li Mo and Feng Wen can see that Tian Xiaopeng has indeed put a lot of thought into the relevant preparations for "The Legend of the White Snake".

But I don't know why, Li Mo always felt that there was something wrong with the characters displayed in front of him.

After nodding to the staff and signaling them to keep the shape on the projection screen on Xu Xian, Tian Xiaopeng said: "This is the preliminary design plan we are currently preparing, just like "The Return of the Great Sage", we planned to carry out all-round subversion and innovation from image to character at the beginning of the design. ”

Li Mo looked at Xu Xian on the screen, pinched his chin and didn't speak.

Tian Xiaopeng didn't care either, and continued to introduce: "According to the data obtained by the commissioned professional investigation agency, a large proportion of the audience dislike Xu Xian's submissive, weak and timid character very much, so we first redesigned the image of Xu Xian's character. ”

"But...... That's outrageous, isn't it? ”

When Tian Xiaopeng introduced, his staff naturally didn't dare to speak at will, but Li Moyou kept silent, but Feng Wen's whispering was inadvertently heard by everyone.

Tian Xiaopeng smiled and was about to explain something, but Li Mo spoke first.

Although it was indeed very inappropriate for Feng Wen to interject on such an occasion, for the sake of seeing that what this kid said was indeed his own sincere thoughts, Li Mo still decided to come out to solve the siege.

"Although Feng Wen's words just now were a bit reckless, I also felt that Xu Xian's appearance design was a bit excessive. ”

Li Mo pointed to the bearded face and knotted muscles on the projection screen. The big man holding a long knife frowned and said, "If it weren't for listening to your introduction, who would have thought that this is Xu Xian?"

Tian Xiaopeng opened his mouth to explain: "Mr. Li, after the data obtained from "The Return of the Great Sage" and market research, the audience at this stage is tired of the image of Xu Xian as a weak scholar in previous movies, so they ......."

"I completely understand what you mean, there is nothing wrong with your idea from the starting point," Li Mo nodded, first expressed his affirmation of Tian Xiaopeng, and then said: "As we all know, the story of "The Legend of the White Snake" has appeared many times on platforms such as movies, TV series, games, etc., and there are not a few classic versions, not to mention that even in the current summer daytime, there will still be many satellite TV platforms that continue to replay Zhao Yazhi's version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" , which is enough to prove the strength of the IP of "The Legend of the White Snake" and the wide audience. ”

"However, you seem to have gone a little too far in dealing with it. ”

Li Mo directly crossed Tian Xiaopeng, nodded to the staff operating the laptop, and motioned to the other party to replace the character on the projection screen with Xiaoqing.

"This is Xiaoqing, whether it is a cyan robe or a tricky and playful appearance, as long as you are a little familiar with the basic character settings of "The Legend of the White Snake", you can easily recognize her identity. ”

made a gesture to the staff and motioned for him to replace the picture with Fahai's character drawing, "This one is a bit bad, but the basic elements of bald head, monk robe, and magic weapon bowl are still there, so as long as you change it slightly, it is not too difficult for the audience to recognize him......"

Subsequently, the schematic diagram on the projection screen was replaced with the Xu Xian he had just seen.

"In all fairness, you have added a lot of new elements to Xu Xian's character, which is indeed worthy of recognition, I believe that some viewers may have expectations for what kind of interaction between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen in such a shape, but this is at the expense of the inherent image in the audience's mind!"

Having said this, Tian Xiaopeng naturally understood what Li Mo meant.

He just wanted to explain, but was stopped by Li Mo raising his hand, "I know that Director Tian wants to use the successful experience of "The Return of the Great Sage" as a reference, but I think there is a question that you may ignore. ”

"The Return of the Great Sage" before subverting the inherent handsome image of Sun Wukong, first showed a scene where he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and fought against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and gods, as long as people who know the story of the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, they don't need to explain it at all, they will accept such a shape of Sun Wukong, even if he fell later, everyone thinks it is reasonable, because he was defeated. ”

"But Xu Xian, before he met the White Lady, everyone only knew that he was from Qiantang and had a sister who couldn't study, and then what about it!"

"Does Director Tian plan to be like "The Return of the Great Sage", adding a scene where Xu Xian carries a knife and fights against the bandits?

"Director Tian, what everyone doesn't like is Xu Xian's character, but for his appearance, there is actually no such resistance. Feelings are the focus of our publicity and marketing, although the film adaptation is bound to destroy the inherent memory of many people, but the overall appearance that is more in line with the memory can arouse their feelings. ”

"Modification is not random change, innovation is not blind breaking!"

"It's good to have ideas, but don't overdo it!"
