Chapter 1617: A Loser
Tsui Hark really hurts. For a long time, as a director, what I was afraid of was meeting those bosses who were too stingy. It's really painful to meet the kind of boss who also needs to be saved, and who also needs to be saved, who doesn't care about the quality of the movie at all, and only pursues the cost. But this time, when I met such a bold boss as Lin Feng, a detail that was so bold that it was too small to be demanding, and I couldn't stand it. Although this is good for the movie, it doesn't hurt, but isn't it a waste!
Tsui Hark is not one of those irresponsible directors, he feels that he needs to think about the cost for Lin Feng, and of course for himself. Otherwise, it will be a shame to spread the word that the box office of the movie he made is not enough for the cost. But in the face of Lin Feng's "big hands", Tsui Hark was completely speechless.
Of course, you said that the eight children in front of the "Fairy Sword Inn", as well as the harmony of these houses and vegetable fields, are understandable. What Tsui Hark couldn't understand was that Lin Feng had to let "Li Xiaoyao" go to someone's house to find some props. You say, isn't this scene superfluous? Can it have anything to do with the plot of the movie? Can it have anything to do with it? And it costs money to make these "hemostatic herbs", "tea eggs", "garlic" and the like. Although these things are easy to make, they also cost money. And it's really completely unnecessary!
Tsui Hark's insistence was completely useless! In the face of Lin Feng's strength, Tsui Hark finally reluctantly agreed. There is no way, Lin Feng is the boss, and he didn't interfere with his filming, just asked him to add a few scenes. Tsui Hark had no reason to refuse Lin Feng.
On the movie screen, I saw "Li Xiaoyao" rummaging through boxes and cabinets in one private house, and from time to time "Li Xiaoyao" could be seen taking out a "tea egg" or a "salt" and stuffing it into his arms. Seeing this scene, all the "fairy sword fans" smiled heartily. Once upon a time, the player's first reaction when entering the game was to search for things everywhere to see if they could find some "blood" and "basket" props. After all, these things cost money to get in the game, and if you can get them out of thin air, there will always be a little bit of a feeling.
Looking at the audience with knowing smiles around him, Tsui Hark shook his head again and again. He really couldn't understand what was worthy of making Lin Feng and the others like it so much, and even naturally smiled. It's incredible.
Lin Feng glanced at Tsui Hark, who was looking tangled on the side, and smiled secretly. This scene can only be understood by true gamers, and the rest of the people will never be able to understand it. Of course, as one of the "protagonists", such a stealing behavior, and it is a nonsensical theft, is very easy to be resisted by non-gamer audiences, in order to make this part of the audience accept this "legal theft in the game" behavior, Lin Feng asked the "Li Xiaoyao" in the movie to leave a note at home for each stolen item, and the hero took xxx today, and returned the note another day.
On the one hand, it can satisfy gamers, second, it can also satisfy those non-gamer audiences, and third, it can also highlight Li Xiaoyao's extraordinary and mischievous.
Fortunately, this scene ended in just over 2 seconds, and then "Li Xiaoyao" came to the market in Yuhang Town.
Gass, and all the audience exclaimed. Although the market is not large, there are only seven or eight stalls, but it is lively enough, and the sound of buying and selling is non-stop, as if people are really in the market. And everyone is talking non-stop, and these words are undoubtedly the words of the NP in the game, and now they are faithfully restored in the movie.
For all the fanatical "Sword and Fairy fans", hearing these words is really touching, and there is a feeling that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has become a reality in front of them.
"Brother Xiaoyao, Brother Xiaoyao, you go back, your aunt is sick!" At this time, Wang Xiaohu, a child from the village who was Li Xiaoyao's admirer, ran over and shouted anxiously.
Okay, it's finally time to touch the plot of Fairy Spirit Island. Lin Feng muttered for no reason.
"Boss, what are you talking about?" Lin Chiling was a little puzzled and asked softly.
Lin Feng smiled. I'm a little too involved and think I'm playing a game. However, this can also show that this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is faithful enough to the original work. Although the plot always seems a bit dragged and not tight enough, for fans of the game, the pace is just right.
Then the plot of the movie is just like in the game, after Li Xiaoyaoxian's aunt fell ill, he decided to go to the "fairy island" to seek a fairy to seek an elixir to treat his aunt. However, at the door of the inn, Yujian three Miao people, heard that Li Xiaoyao was going to Xianling Island for medical treatment, so he gave Li Xiaoyao a "sky-breaking hammer".
Seeing this "sky-breaking hammer", Tsui Hark hurt again. You said that this is a completely one-time prop and will never be used in the future. Just use paper paste, as long as the appearance is exquisite, you can't see the authenticity in the movie screen. But Lin Feng didn't do it, Lin Feng had to make a steel hammer that was exactly the same as in the game, and specially carved the west side of the pattern, spending nearly 1,000 yuan. This made Tsui Hark even call Lin Feng a loser.
Although making a movie is about striving for truth, sometimes you have to be sloppy when you should be sloppy. Otherwise, the cost of making that movie will be too high, and it will be too wasteful. Many one-time props, making too fine is a waste of resources.
It's a pity that in the face of Lin Feng, who must be corrected, Tsui Hark can only back down again and again.
The subsequent plot is very simple, Li Xiaoyao went to sea on a fishing boat, and then found "Xianling Island" in the sea. However, if you want to enter the "Fairy Island", you must break through the first labyrinth of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the Lotus Pond Labyrinth.
This labyrinth is the first labyrinth in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it is also a poetic labyrinth, in the game, Li Xiaoyao stepped on the lotus leaf, and the lotus leaf will move forward according to the fixed haode route, Li Xiaoyao needs to accurately find the 6 Asura statues of the array eye of this labyrinth, and use the "sky-breaking hammer" given by the Miao people to smash them one by one, and then there will be a real road to the "fairy island".
However, before that, Li Xiaoyao will encounter the frog who guards the 'lotus pond maze' in the first battle in the game. In the game, Li Xiaoyao will attack through a turn-based system, which must not be the case in the movie, otherwise it will completely destroy the pattern of the movie, and it will affect the audience's appreciation rhythm and sense. Therefore, after Lin Feng, Tsui Hark, and the "Taiwan Daewoo" company, it was decided to directly use computer stunts to let these "frogs" attack Li Xiaoyao, while Li Xiaoyao dodged and fought back.
On the movie screen, Li Xiaoyao held a wooden sword in his hand and fought with the "frog", and finally after eliminating a few frogs, Li Xiaoyao upgraded. In the game, there will be a dialog box when Li Xiaoyao upgrades, which is naturally not possible in the movie. Therefore, let Li Xiaoyao replace the upgrade dialog box with a sentence that he is proficient in the swordsmanship of this hero, and at the same time, the following battle makes Li Xiaoyao's "attack" slightly higher, so as to highlight Li Xiaoyao's upgrade through the contrast of the picture.
All the "fairy sword fans" in the cinema can only use amazement to express their excitement at this moment. They didn't expect that this time the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" movie would be so good while being faithful to the original book. Although these dozens of seconds of footage are all computer special effects, they are enough to be exciting.
Of course, what makes all "Sword and Fairy fans" look forward to is the "Lotus Pond Labyrinth" after that, which is the first labyrinth of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it is also an impressive labyrinth.
The movie screen flashed, and the music changed from the tense music in the battle to the melodious flute, and a lotus pond appeared in the eyes of all the audience. The turquoise water, the lotus leaves in the sky, and the misty mist make this picture beautiful and refreshing. It is no exaggeration to say that the water color of this lotus pond at this moment is no worse than the scenery of the elves in "The Lord of the Rings".
However, although this picture is beautiful, all the audience does not have the heart to appreciate this beautiful picture, they care about the next scene of the lotus pond maze. In the game, Li Xiaoyao stepped on the lotus leaf and then fluttered lightly on the water. So what about the movie? How do you deal with this special effect? Is it perfunctory, or is it dizzying?
Tsui Hark forgot about Lin Feng beside him, and sighed Loser!
At this time, Li Xiaoyao has stood on the lotus leaf in the picture, and then he saw that the lotus leaf began to float slowly on the water surface, and the layers of water ripples with the flow of the lotus leaf to the outer circle. You know, the flow of water is very difficult in computer stunts, and you can't make such realistic stunt effects in time.
The effect of being able to distinguish between real and fake, is conservatively estimated to cost millions of dollars for this water streak treatment effect alone. A water ripple effect costs millions of dollars? That's too exaggerated! Some people may be surprised.
But in reality, this is still a conservative estimate. Just the lotus pond maze in front of him, Fang Yuan looked at the past as far as the eye could see, the wind was rippling through the water, and the lotus leaves were floating through the ripples of the water lines, this kind of special effect, you don't want to make it every eighteen million. And it doesn't have to be so realistic!
amazed again and again, and everyone was amazed at the stunt effect in front of them.
"Boss, this stunt effect costs so much money, it's too wasteful, right?" Wu Zhaopu leaned over from behind and asked quietly.
In a movie, the real special effects should be used in those big scenes, and now this is just the beginning of such exquisite special effects, as far as Wu Zhaopu seems to be a bit wasteful. And the audience may not be able to perceive it.
Lin Feng smiled mysteriously, didn't say much, and continued to watch. The fairy bath in the back is worth looking forward to!
