Chapter 376: Marin's Brain Hole, the Strong Smell of Bad Movies
The battle of Zhuolu in ancient times, there is not much information to check in the official history and wild history.
What's more, "Chasing the Deer" is just a mythical story that has changed based on this incident.
The film's male No. 1 Xingtian, played by Mu Ze.
Although this film is purely "Chinese style", it is aimed at the international market.
Naturally, Mu Ze is the most suitable in China.
If there is anyone among the actors who has the most box office appeal abroad, it is undoubtedly Mu Ze.
Li Long and Cheng Jie, two veteran international stars, are now difficult to compare.
and Chi You and Yellow Emperor, who are also the second male leads, are definitely different in appearance and temperament.
As the legendary god of war, Chiyou has amazing force and strong combat power.
His appearance and temperament must be wild and strong, at least he should be domineering.
After all, he is a Terran leader who doesn't take the Emperor of Heaven in his eyes, how can he do it without a little domineering.
Zhao Jin's height and appearance are naturally not much of a problem, especially when filming "The Storm Dominates the World", he practiced a body of tendon meat.
The only estimate lacking is temperament.
However, this is no problem through makeup and other means, as well as Zhao Jin's acting skills.
As soon as his makeup photos came out, it was quite in line with the image of Chiyou in Mu Chen's mind.
And the Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of China, unifying the human tribes, and should have the appearance of an emperor and the wisdom of an emperor. The image and temperament are not domineering and flamboyant, but introverted and wise, and full of courage.
With Miao Xun's acting skills, Mu Chen is not worried.
And the male number three is the Emperor Yan and the Emperor of Heaven.
Emperor Yan is the Shennong clan, a hard-working, brave and wise tribal leader, he is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the ancestor of agriculture, the ancestor of medicine, the ancestor of commerce, the ancestor of music, etc.
In Mu Chen's opinion, the actor who played Emperor Yan has less imperial spirit than the Yellow Emperor in his image and temperament, and has a little more literary and artistic spirit, as well as the heart of a compassionate doctor.
Sun Yu's acting skills are not much of a problem in controlling this role.
Although he is not from a professional class and has not won any awards, his acting skills have been recognized by insiders.
As for the Emperor of Heaven, Feng Yi is portrayed as a ruthless emperor who regards his life as an ant, high up and looking down on his life, with a bit of ruthlessness in his personality and temperament.
Liu Guohua's previous roles are mostly positive images.
However, with his acting skills, a cameo role in this role is naturally handy.
Of course, there are more than just a few male characters. It's just that there are relatively many scenes in these scenes, and they are related to the main story line.
This film, naturally, cannot only have male characters.
There are also a lot of female characters in the play, of course, relatively speaking, there are a lot less. After all, it was the patrilineal clan period, and there were no legends about it.
In the war, men are the main force.
In addition to the Nine Heavens Xuannu played by Qin Yu, there is also the wife of the Emperor of Heaven, the Queen of Heaven, which is fictional based on the Queen Mother.
However, this is just a soy sauce role, and there are not many scenes.
Female No. 2 and Female No. 3 are the daughters of Emperor Yan, Female No. 2 is Yaoji, and Female No. 3 is a female baby, that is, Jingwei.
In "Zhuolu", Yao Ji likes Xingtian, and Emperor Yan marries her to Xingtian, but before she gets married, Emperor Zhongtian conspired and died in the hands of the masters of the Jiuli clan, which eventually led to Emperor Yan completely falling to the Yellow Emperor.
Let the strength of the Yellow Emperor soar, and the disparity between him and Chiyou is no longer so great.
As for the girl, she is just a little girl in the film, playing the role of soy sauce, but she has a lot of roles relatively speaking.
The film also does not mix the story of "Jingwei Reclamation".
Qin Yu played the Nine Heavens Xuannu, who went down to help the Yellow Emperor fight against Chi You, and went to the Yandi tribe to persuade him to ally with the Yellow Emperor and met the male protagonist Xingtian, the two had feelings for each other, but there was a difference between people and gods, and at this time, Emperor Yan married Yao Ji to Xingtian.
Emperor Yan has the grace of knowing Xingtian, he is not only the leader of Xingtian, but also his mentor and friend, and Xingtian is not easy to refuse.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Xingtian's character.
The feelings of the two were immediately buried in their hearts. And Yao Ji died in the Jiuli tribe, Chi You's master, Emperor Yan fell to the Yellow Emperor and allied with him, but Xing Tian saw that something was wrong, and finally suspected the design of the Nine Heavens Xuannu to provoke the relationship between Chi You and the Yan Emperor tribe.
Xingtian had a misunderstanding with the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and this plot seemed to be a bit bloody in Mu Chen's eyes.
However, in the limited time, to make the emotional progress of the two people not so abrupt, this mutual affection, and then one person misunderstands, hates because of love, and the other desperately wants to resolve the misunderstanding.
In this process, the feelings of the two gradually changed, and in the end, the misunderstanding was resolved, the hatred dissipated, and the love deepened, which became a natural thing.
What's more, sometimes the more bloody the plot, the more marketable.
In the film, Xingtian is set up as a man of both civil and military skills, wise, but a complete pacifist. He believed that people should live in peace with each other, and between people and the gods, there should also be peace with each other.
In the end, Xingtian attacked the heavenly court, in fact, there is also a kind of peace that is made, not by others.
If you want peace, sometimes you have to take up the weapon in your hand and resist.
We love peace, but we do not allow others to oppress us.
And the Nine Heavens Xuannu also became a pacifist under his influence.
The success of a film, the plot, characters, character modeling, costumes and props, action design, etc., are naturally also crucial
For example, the mythical beast mounts in the film, as well as magic weapons and weapons, undoubtedly need to be designed.
In the film, the human race and the celestial race are involved.
The human race is also divided into many tribes, especially the three major tribes of the Chiyou tribe, the Yandi tribe, and the Yellow Emperor tribe, and the costumes and props are definitely different. And the Celestial Clans are naturally different.
Although this film is a mythical interpretation of the battle of the ancient Zhuolu, it is obvious that something too advanced cannot appear.
Everything in it needs to be quaint and too fashionable.
These are the reasons why this film has been in preparation for so long.
In the end, the relevant departments of Dawn Film and Television still came up with a satisfactory design.
Mu Chen stayed in the crew for a few days, and then returned to the company.
"I have an idea!"
As soon as Mu Chen went back, Ma Lin came to the door and said straight to the point.
"What, do you have an idea for your new film?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
"How about making a film about the mythological battle between East and West?" Marin continued.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Lin gushed endlessly.
"You said that you filmed a crusade, and then you were beaten back by Chinese cultivators, and the land of China became a forbidden place for Western cultivators, and no werewolves, vampires, dark mages, etc., dared to set foot in the East......"
"Are you shooting for domestic fans?" Mu Chen pouted and said.
Marin was stunned for a moment, then a little abrupt and smiled awkwardly.
If it is really filmed like this, the investment will definitely not be small, and those foreign fans will definitely not pay to enter the theater, and it will even arouse disgust.
No one wants to see their own people abused!
It's like, those foreigners shoot themselves extremely well, but they portray the Chinese people as villains, who would want to watch the Chinese people?
"Then you say that there is a market for the collision between technological civilization and cultivation civilization?" Ma Lin continued.
"How dare you think about it. Mu Chen smiled and said.
"In ancient times, scientific and technological civilization and cultivation civilization coexisted. However, the two sides are too different in their ideas to coexist, so they naturally clash frequently, and eventually lead to a major war. Cultivators from the East and the West joined forces and defeated Atlantis into a sea of silence. ”
"This story should be interesting, right? The battle between the technological civilization and the cultivation civilization, the battle armor and the magic weapon are bombarded, and the cannonballs and flying swords are fired. It's a visual spectacle......"
Ma Lin spoke energetically, but Mu Chen imagined the picture he was telling, but he saw a strong smell of bad movies.
"Atlantis was sunk?" Mu Chen poured a scoop of cold water over and said, "Now is the era of scientific and technological civilization, and cultivation civilization has long become a legend. If you shoot like this, you're not afraid of being branded as anti-technology and anti-human?"
"Then make Atlantis an alien! Aliens invade Earth, build cities, and expand at breakneck speed. The aliens bullied the earthlings, and the cultivators of the East and West on the earth united to resist, and finally defeated the aliens, wiped them out, or drove them away, and the city of Atlantis was also thrown into the sea in the great war. ”
"Didn't the Earth continent say that the original was a whole piece? The reason why it became a large continent and countless islands is what it is today during this great war. It is entirely possible that the incomparably advanced cities have been driven to the bottom of the sea, and the continent has been broken into several pieces. ”
"The story of Atlantis naturally has a value for filming. Mu Chen thought for a while and said, "After all, this story is very well-known abroad. But why do you have to create a conflict between a technological civilization and a cultivation civilization? Don't you think that's a bit nondescript? The two civilizations are not the same system at all, and if you put the two together, if you can't make the fans feel reasonable, then how will they accept it? If they don't accept it, who will pay?"
Marin smiled awkwardly.
"A film needs logic. Mu Chen said, "This logic is not to conform to any science. To use an online phrase: I know you're talking nonsense, but it feels very reasonable. ”
Marin was thoughtful.
"You kid is the Golden Dragon Award Best Director, don't you be so visionless, right?" Mu Chen looked at Ma Lin, and then said, "You kid won't come here to entertain me today, right?"
"Who of mine has the spare time to entertain you? Marin said, "Haven't you been thinking about a new film lately, but I'm really uninspired, so I just browse some forums on the Internet to see if there will be any inspiration......
"Your inspiration is the battle between Eastern and Western cultivators?, the collision of technological civilization and cultivation civilization?" Mu Chen pouted and said.
Marin smiled, not knowing how to refute, maybe not being able to refute.
"If you don't dare to be interested in literary films, instead of browsing these unreliable forums, you should take a look at some popular networks, which may be much more inspiring. Mu Chen continued.
When Marin heard this, he was moved.
