Chapter 1616: The Scene That Makes Tsui Hark's Egg Hurt
Can the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" truly restore the scenes in the game? This is probably what all "Sword and Fairy fans" are looking forward to. In fact, not only the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but all game adaptations are aimed at the market of its gamers. Generally speaking, a popular game has at least 10 million fans, and if a movie only charges 10 yuan for a ticket price, its movie box office will also exceed 100 million.
Therefore, this is also the reason why many classic games have been adapted into movies. And for fans of its games, the most, most important thing is not the gorgeous special effects, not the handsome men and beautiful women, of course, it is not that these are not important, but relative to the fans of the game, what really matters is that it can be faithful to the original book. Otherwise, no matter how good the shooting is, it is not faithful to the original work, what kind of adaptation is it, isn't that fooling the enthusiasm of its fans
In this regard, there have been too many game adaptations that have made their fans resentful and ruined. So, what will happen to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time? Will it follow this routine or will it be able to truly be faithful to the original book? -- In the newly completed cinema in Yuhang City, 1,280 spectators are waiting to see and see.
Lin Feng clenched his fists slightly, rarely nervous. Although this is just a movie, it is the realization of a dream in life for Lin Feng.
As "Li Xiaoyao" pushed open the door of the "Sword and Fairy Inn", an empty land suddenly appeared in front of all the audience.
Yellow land, the kind of yellow earth in the countryside, empty yellow earth - Lin Feng exclaimed, this is the map in front of the "Fairy Sword Inn" in Yuhang Town, which appeared at the beginning of the game. The film crew of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" restored it to the truth. Don't look at this piece of loess It looks very simple, but in this era of reinforced concrete, it is not so simple to find such a piece of loess .
Attentive - Lin Feng praised him. This is the attention of the film crew.
And then through "Li Xiaoyao", when I saw the whole picture of the "Sword and Fairy Inn" behind it, all the players in the movie theater who had played "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" let out an exclamation in unison. Isn't this the "Sword and Fairy Inn" in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Hearing the exclamations coming from the movie theater, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. This "Sword and Fairy Inn" was built in the "Sword and Fairy Theme Park", which was built by Lin Feng, and was built in a 1:1 ratio according to the "Sword and Fairy Inn" in the game, in order to make "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" more faithful to the original book and give all "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" a surprise. Now it seems that the effect is good, and when the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" movie is really released in the future, Lin Feng believes that he will wait for more amazements.
Of course, if he wanted to get this exclamation, Lin Feng paid 12 million yuan for this "Fairy Sword Inn". A scene that does not appear many times in the whole game costs 12 million yuan, which is too wasteful and too extravagant for director Tsui Hark. Even if you want to spend money, you don't have to spend it here, you can spend money on the actors' costumes, props, and post-production.
Indeed, Tsui Hark's words are correct. However, his position is different, and the nature and forest wind he sees are different. Lin Feng is not only focusing on the series of movies "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but also a series of commercial jihua that has been expanded around "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". And "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is just the beginning, and the subsequent "Sword and Fairy Theme Park" is also a continuation of it, and there are more, more in Lin Feng Jihua.
Therefore, in Lin Feng's view, it is completely necessary to spend 1,200 yuan to build a "fairy sword inn". After all, the beginning of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was because of this "Sword and Fairy Inn". With the hit of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" movie and the completion of the "Sword and Fairy Theme Park", Lin Feng believes that this "Sword and Fairy Inn" will inevitably become the first place that all game fans want to see in person in the future. And the "Fairy Sword Inn" will also become the starting point of the "Fairy Sword Theme Park". …,
"Fairy Sword Theme Park" is by no means a theme park in the ordinary sense - Lin Feng has always had a jihua in his heart.
Of course, at this moment, I still think about returning to the movie. This Yuhang Town is a very important town in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which has Li Xiaoyao's entire childhood, and there are many beautiful memories of game fans.
For example, when "Li Xiaoyao" just went out, he saw a group of children playing a rope skipping game, muttering while playing: Little Lizi, with high ambitions, wants to learn the sword fairy to climb the sky. The three poles on the sun do not wake up, and they dream of Tao Tao every day.
This is a ridiculous poem called "Dream Hero" in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is used by children in Yuhang Town to ridicule Li Xiaoyao, who wants to become a sword fairy. When all players saw this scene in the game, they would let out a hearty smile. And the reason why "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is different from other games is that it is hidden in some poems in the mouths of these seemingly inconspicuous and useless NPCs in the game. Some of these poems are limericks, but many of them can really resonate with people.
And at this moment, the movie "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" also truly restores this scene. When "Li Xiaoyao" walked out of the inn, there was a group of children skipping rope not far in front of him, and this was what he was muttering.
"Hey, you stinky boys, dare to make fun of this hero, see how this hero cleans you up" - "Li Xiaoyao" shouted, pretending to go up to get someone, several children scattered in a hurry, laughing and leaving.
This scene, in Tsui Hark's opinion, is almost superfluous and not needed at all. Because the focus of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is on the three protagonists - Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, and Lin Yueru, more money should be spent on these three people, so that the play can be good-looking. Of course, what Tsui Hark means is not that the supporting role is not important, but that it is not cost-effective to spend money on this kind of character who is too supportive.
For example, in this scene, eight children want to jump rope and chant poetry, and they want to cooperate well, which is quite troublesome, after all, they are children, not adults. Counting the props on his body or something, it cost more than 50,000 yuan. A scene of only a few seconds cost more than 50,000 yuan, and to be honest, Tsui Hark felt sorry for Lin Feng.
This "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" (Part 1) takes a total of 180 minutes and three hours. The scene just now cost 50,000 yuan in 13 seconds, and the movie will cost more than 40 million. This is only the most basic shooting cost, not counting other infrastructure (such as "Sword and Fairy Inn"), as well as post-computer special effects. It can be said that this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" cost a total of 130 million US dollars, just because of Lin Feng's pursuit of these details.
However, what is not worth it in Tsui Hark's eyes is worth it in Lin Feng's eyes. Because this short 13-second shot is enough to fascinate all "Sword and Fairy fans". Filming this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Lin Feng's primary goal is to satisfy "Sword and Fairy fans", and the second is to make money.
As "Li Xiaoyao" moved forward, there were houses in front of him, and next to the houses were patches of fertile fields. This is also a portrayal of the real scene of the game, and in order to perfectly match this fertile land and house, the film crew planted some seedlings together as early as the original "Fairy Sword Theme Park" was built.
Of course, in order to build such a pastoral landscape with fields in front of the door, Lin Feng paid an extra 100,000 yuan for this. Although the 100,000 yuan is nothing to Lin Feng, in the eyes of director Tsui Hark, it is too much of a loss.
You say, what if there is no field in front of the door, even if it is a demanding "fairy sword fan", for this scene that is almost swept away, there is no field in front of the door, will they go to make trouble? …,
However, Lin Feng is a big boss and belongs to the capital, and Tsui Hark can only obey. What's more, this kind of stubbornness must be corrected, for the whole movie, there are only good things and no bad things. After all, compared to having these things and not having these things, with these fields, children, etc., the movie will be a little more fleshed out, and the whole scene will be a little more realistic. It's just that the money spent for this kind of real money is really not worth it in Tsui Hark's opinion.
"Okay, Director Xu, don't sigh. Although it is said that there is a lot of waste during shooting, it will be a good thing for 'Fairy Sword Theme Park' in the future. This will attract more tourists. Lin Feng said with a smile.
Tsui Hark glanced at Lin Feng. The wastefulness of this forest wind is not only this, there is more waste. For example, originally these houses only need to be built simply, but Lin Feng doesn't do it, Lin Feng wants to make it like the real 1:1 restoration of the houses in the game, although there are not many houses like this in Yuhang Town, there are only 12 buildings, and the cost of money is not much, but more than 1 million, but tens of thousands here, where tens of thousands, all cost-effective, but more. Originally, according to Tsui Hark's estimates, not counting the post-computer production, the filming cost of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was at most 40 million. As a result, 40 million is still 40 million, but not in yuan, but in dollars. That's 8 times higher, not counting the $30 million in additional infrastructure funding in the future.
Thinking of this, Tsui Hark was in pain. Of course, it is not only this that makes Tsui Hark's egg hurt, but what makes his egg hurt even more is that Lin Feng has to add some scenes to the movie, some plots that have nothing to do with the plot in Tsui Hark's opinion.
For example, entering a private house - looking for props.
When this scene was mentioned, Tsui Hark couldn't wait to choke Lin Feng's neck and ask him why he had to have this scene...... ,
