Chapter 092: The Wizard of Wonderland

After sending Wu Jing away, Liu Shuo continued to paint "Fairy Sword".

Cheng Tang first defeated the Wei State, and the strength of the Wei State came from the pig dragons they raised. However, among the immortals brought by Chen Han, there was one who was good at dealing with dragons, and he raised a roaring beast.

This roar is a monster that specializes in eating dragons, and without dragons, it basically doesn't eat. In the past, because of the suppression of the gods, Roar had not eaten a few dragons, but now he can finally have a feast. Pigron is not a purebred dragon, but it is also a dragon after all.

Roar rushed into the battlefield and swallowed the pigdragon one by one. Wei Guo surrendered, and the fairy tried his best to suppress Roar's appetite, but Roar didn't listen, and after swallowing all the pig dragons, he obediently came to the fairy and squatted down.

The people of Wei were in pain, but there was no way, after losing the pig dragon, their combat effectiveness was sharply reduced, and it was impossible to defeat Cheng Tang. They didn't even have a chance to resist, so they were suppressed by the soldiers of Chengtang.

Liu Shuo was ready to finish the rest of the painting in one go, but he received a call from Li Chi again, it turned out that the script of "The Wizard of Wonderland" was ready, and he wanted Liu Shuo to take a look.

It's been three months since the project of "The Wizard of Wonderland" was established, and now the storyboard script has been completed, and I don't know how it went.

"The Wizard of Wonderland" is a Chinese-style adult animation, and Anthony doesn't know much about it, so he didn't put forward too many opinions, just added some commercial highlights. He has begun to learn Chinese, but his pronunciation is not accurate now, and it is impossible to understand many Chinese thoughts.

So this time, the script was made by a few "apprentices" brought out by Anthony, and everyone is no stranger to the theme of Xianxia, but it is not easy to be brilliant. Fortunately, "The Wizard of Wonderland" has a serialized comic book in front, otherwise, it would be really difficult to get it.

However, it is really not easy to shorten a manga of a few hundred words to less than 100 minutes. So these people want to make "The Wizard of Wonderland" into two episodes. When Liu Shuo got the script, he found that a lot of side branch details were cut down, focusing on the story of Fang Qing and several times when he joined the army and the story of learning art in the Immortal Palace.

In fact, "The Wizard of Wonderland" is basically about this, but it is actually quite difficult to adapt this slightly to form an animation. Because the story of "The Wizard of Wonderland" is bloody, but it is very mature, and any changes may be impressed by the story itself.

So the scripts of these two episodes did not change too much, and they didn't even add too many jokes. The jokes in the last episode mainly came from Fang Qing's study of art in Tiangong, and the jokes in the next episode mainly came from the two children. And the dividing line between the upper and lower sets is that Fang Qing is holding Yue Yi up the mountain.

Liu Shuo didn't have any problems with the script, but just asked: "Can the current technology realize the ideas in the script?"

Li Chi shook his head slightly, "It can't be all realized, but with our production, we should be able to solve most of it, and the rest can't be solved, we will ask the Hollywood special effects team to help, Anthony said he can help find someone." ”

"That's good!" Liu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, in terms of special effects, China is really much worse than Hollywood. The Xianxia special effects that cannot be achieved by domestic special effects are not difficult for Hollywood, you must know that nearly ten years ago, "The Legend of Shu Mountain" directed by Tsui Hark has achieved the effect required by Xianxia movies, and the picture is really beautiful, even after more than ten years, it is still very beautiful.

However, at that time, the market for Xianxia stories was not good, and the mature Xianxia stories were the "Legend of Shushan Swordsmen" series of the actual owner of the Pearl House in the Republic of China, plus Daewoo Company's "Legend of the Fairy Family". After all, the owner of the Pearl House is old, it is the enlightening book of Jin Gu and others, and no one has read it at all in the new century, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" also has computer people to play, after seven or eight years of development, and then it was made into a TV series by the Tang Dynasty before it entered the public eye.

So when "The Legend of Shushan" was completed, the box office was not good. Although Hong Kong had returned at that time, the mainland market was not mature and piracy was rampant. Liu Shuo watched Shushan at that time, and it was a pirated disc that he watched.

The special effects are still fresh in Liu Shuo's memory, and it can even be said that the reason why "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be made into a TV series and get very good ratings is basically the market cultivated by "Shushan".

So now Liu Shuo has been worried about the problem of special effects, if it is produced by his own company, can the special effects keep up?

In fact, there is not much difference between an animation company and a special effects company, but the focus is different. The software they use is not the same, but if you want to use professional effects software, you can actually make models. There must be such a thing as action, after all, special effects also require action, but the special effects are not bound to models, but particles.

Manying has always had its own special effects department, but the current special effects department is not very mature, and general special effects can be produced, but it will take a long time. After all, most of Manga's employees are recent graduates, and if it weren't for Anthony on the side, they might have been reluctant to produce League of Legends animations.

However, if the special effects department wants to grow, it can only throw money into it. Li Chi understands this truth, so he is constantly looking for work for the special effects department and applied for the project of "The Wizard of Wonderland". Liu Shuo also understood this truth, so he approved the project.

"The Wizard of Wonderland" is not very high in Liu Shuo's heart, it is a work to test the waters, and the scripts were all improvised by Liu Shuo before the painting started, in order to pave the market for "Sword Fairy". "Sword Immortal" is the result of Liu Shuo's racking of his brains and conceiving for three or four years, and he already has a story outline of "Sword Immortal" long before Liu Shuo came to university.

Therefore, Liu Shuo doesn't pay much attention to "The Wizard of Wonderland", and it is just right to practice manga. Even if it needs to invest hundreds of millions of yuan in its upper and lower episodes, Liu Shuo is willing to invest it, and he also mobilized some funds from the United States to invest, and the money in the United States is too much to spend.

When it comes to the United States, we have to mention Team Rocket, and now Team Rocket's internal training is still good. But fans basically don't have any hope for the Rockets, and many people are scolding Liu Shuo behind their backs. But Morey and coach Adelman are still very confident, because they found that Liu Shuo's lineup is not weak, and in the preseason, these rookies have shown their outstanding side, and I believe that when they grow up, they will almost have the ability to impact the championship.
