Chapter 084: The Second Collaboration with Director Zhang

Tang Nian is an idle person, he has too many thoughts in his heart, and on the second day after returning to Hengdu Film and Television City, he set his eyes on "The Legend of Mortal Immortals". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece of fantasy and realism!

The originator of the 'mortal flow', known as the never-ending Xiuzhen classic.

And Tang Nian is also a real mortal fan.

Tang Nian, who is always concerned with the great god of 'forgetting words', has long known from the Weibo of forgetting that the great god of forgetting words has begun the creation plan of the second part of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" "Immortal Chapter".

In this way, by taking advantage of the Internet boom of the great god of forgetting words to set off the storm of 'mortal flow cultivation of immortals', it is completely possible to put "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" on the screen.

Let this masterpiece go to a broader stage.

"The Legend of Mortal Cultivators" has nearly 8 million words, with a cumulative hit of more than 100 million, which is the first masterpiece of the Hundred Leagues of the starting point Chinese Network and the first masterpiece of the Five Hundred Leagues in the history of online literature.

From the protagonist Han Li walking out of the small mountain village to Han Li's ascension to the immortal realm, a magnificent legendary story of mortal immortal cultivation is vividly displayed in front of the public.

The author forgot to be a god with this book and became the highest platinum writer of online literature.

This work, which was created from 08 years and completed in one or three years, took up to five years, which is enough to be called a benchmark work in the history of online literature.

The bizarre fantasy world depicted in the book, from the world of rivers and lakes to the world of cultivation, to the spiritual world, and until the ascension, there are countless characters involved in the text, and there are more than 1,000 characters with distinctive characteristics.

And Forget Words has the title of a little expert in digging and burying wires, and a pit may take several years to fill it, and even readers should not be able to remember it.

Because of this, the work "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" is not easy to adapt.

In addition, what is criticized by book lovers is that although his characters are brilliant, they are too facial, and they are hurriedly brought over in a few strokes, and even the protagonist Han Li may not be able to use a proper word to describe his characteristics.

The character characteristics of the characters are too thin, which is the biggest flaw in the adaptation of the original novel into film and television.

The adaptation is too large, and it has become a fan drama of the original novel, which is disliked by fans of the original book.

The scope of the adaptation is too small, and the fans of the original book are satisfied, but more people who eat melons will dislike the adaptation for not being new and not sublimating the original novel.

In the minds of a thousand spectators, there are a thousand Hamlets.

As a fan of mortals, Tang Nian naturally has a personal understanding of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".

In his opinion, "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is not the so-called "Legend of Mortal Darkness", it describes the growth process of the protagonist Han Li, and involves a large number of stories in the cultivation realm, in which they are all working hard and fighting for their lives with the heavens.

Struggle and fighting with the sky are the biggest features in "The Legend of Mortal Immortals".

Whether it is the protagonist Han Li or other supporting characters, they are all working hard, under the alarm bell of limited life, they dare not have the slightest slack, every character today has its past of hard cultivation.

There was no step to the sky, nor was it smooth sailing, even the protagonist Han Li had to go through several twists and turns to grow step by step......

may have failed, showing the ugly red fruits of human nature in front of everyone, and finally disappearing one by one; Maybe there is success, with a faint sense of joy, continue to move forward, climbing over one mountain after another in the cultivation career.

Isn't that what life is all about?

In our limited but seemingly long life, we continue to experience failure, but we continue to grow, maybe we will never have the so-called success in the public sense, but continuous growth is not a kind of success?

To be honest, it was decided to adapt "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", and Tang Nian finally made up his mind after several struggles.

Without being reminded by others, Tang Nian himself understands the difficulties and dangers of adapting this masterpiece, which is more difficult than filming ten films similar to "The White Fox Cover of the Coffin Open at Midnight".

Not to mention the crucial components of actors and scripts, the world structure of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" alone is a difficult challenge.

To say that in the Chinese entertainment market, there have been no similar film and television works.

For example, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", or "The Legend of Sword and Fairy V (also known as Sword and Fairy Cloud Fan)", but these were all finally made into high-end martial arts dramas, or barely called fantasy dramas.

Even "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" and "Flower Thousand Bone", or "Zhuxian Qingyunzhi" finally became a sadistic and bitter drama based on love and dressed in the cloak of fantasy dramas.

If we say that in terms of special effects and world structure, "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Zhuxian Qingyunzhi" are actually very distinctive, and some scenes make the audience's eyes shine.

But those who often play games know that these are nothing more than moving from some types of online games, plus real people.

has a strong sense of déjà vu in the game, and it will not win the audience's popularity, but if you watch too many such dramas, there is always a sense of nausea, which makes people feel that it is better to play online games with a sense of substitution.

Take "Zhu Xian" as an example, a good love-based masterpiece, but it has been adapted into a fanfiction like "Qingyunzhi", in addition to the special effects of some scenes, the plot line has been changed beyond recognition, and anyone with a discerning eye knows who the second male is, which is cliché.

Of course, this can't be blamed, after all, everyone's experience and vision are bound by their own growth experience, and no one knows what the real immortal cultivation looks like.

Being able to break through the inherent thinking and give full play to their limited imagination is enough to embarrass them.

But Tang Nian is different, he has a 'yellow sorghum dream'.

After reading through "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", Tang Nian had a clear understanding of some scenes in the text, such as sects, cultivation and fighting.

At present, as long as the original author forgets words and can lead a group of screenwriters to shape the characters' personalities more fully and realistically, and the plot line is more coherent and rhythmic, Tang Nian can hand over the scenes and pictures he wants to the screenwriters to create.

The rest is live-action shooting, plus on-site computer CG special effects and physical special effects, as well as post-production background music and other processing and production, "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", a large-scale fantasy drama of cultivating immortals, can come out.

It's just that these are easier said than done.

Just the link of script adaptation, text script and storyboard script, it is a huge screenwriter, and without ten professional screenwriters doing it himself, it is impossible to adjust the plot of the novel that looks a little dragging in the lens more compactly.

Not to mention getting the storyboard, it's really getting into the filming stage.

The investment in this is less than 300 million, which is simply impossible to take.

It is precisely because the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop will be more and more involved in these big productions that Tang Nian was able to successfully persuade the whole Performing Arts Workshop to re-enter the arms of Tencent Pictures.

Thanks to Tang Nian's four consecutive successes, Tencent Pictures was naturally determined to get involved.

It is nothing more than mobilizing all the contracted artists from Tencent Pictures and Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop to devote themselves to this drama, which can be regarded as a kind of run-in of the whole company, and by the way, it is also a test of Tencent Pictures' ability to resist pressure and operate.

Although Tang Nian can smash most of the income earned from "Cohabitation Blog" into it and fight again.

But his idea was quickly rejected by Mr. Bai on the phone.

You must know that Tang Nian's three consecutive works did not have the participation of Tencent Pictures, which has made Tencent Pictures very uneasy, and if you don't invest in it this time, Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop is still not a subsidiary of Tencent Pictures?

Seeing that Tang Nian's works are selling well, Tencent Pictures can only live a dry life, and they can't even drink the soup, so they can smell the meat, how can this be!

Without any hesitation, when Tang Nian decided to shoot a big production like "The Legend of Mortal Cultivators", Bai Yiji agreed to Tang Nian's full investment request, isn't it hundreds of millions, the last thing my little brother lacks is money!

As long as the momentum of Tencent Pictures can be completely stabilized, Tencent Pictures will smash hundreds of millions, which is absolutely cost-effective.

The more such a big production, the more it can prove the super strength of Tencent Pictures, and the more it can stabilize the status of Tencent Pictures.

Fail?

How is this possible!

With Tang Nian, even if it is not successful, it can return to its original capital!

Or it can be said that the film and television works produced by Tang Nian are failures if they don't make much money...... Because the Tang Nian, who is in the limelight at the moment, has formed such an impression that King Kong is not bad to the outside world.

And after the success of "Cohabitation Blog", Tang Nian was not shocked and lost his head, but was very calm and prepared to start filming the first season of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals".

As always, the script is in place, and preparations are in place as always.

These two points alone are enough to prove that Tang Nian's preparations are serious, and he is not playing tickets.

With these judgments, Bai Yizhen naturally made a decision quickly, this big production, Tencent Pictures fully invested and entrusted it to Tang Nian to take the lead in the production, and the whole company was on standby, ready to intervene at all times...... No, help!

Including a few veteran actors, as well as several powerful actors at the actor level, can participate.

This kind of large-scale production is originally a familiar routine in the Chinese entertainment market at this stage, and it depends on whether Tang Nian can play new tricks.

Tencent Pictures' ultimate goal is also clear, that is, to learn all the routines of Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop's production of "The Legend of Mortal Immortals", and to be eclectic, forming a new film and television production model of Tencent Pictures.

Let also those professionals who have just joined Tencent Pictures and claim to be industry veterans take a look at the fundamental reason why Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop has launched three masterpieces in a row.

"The old rules, the script comes first!"

"Let's unify our opinions in advance, that is, acting must be done according to the script, don't pass the lines, don't worry about the actors, don't want to be stars, no one can change the script without the consent of the director and screenwriter!"

"Although Mr. Bai promised to fully contribute, this big production involves all aspects, and our own funds are always ready, so we can't inject our own funds to shoot!"

"This is the first big production of our performing arts workshop, everyone will work together to create brilliance!"

"Whoa......

After more than two months of rest, the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop was full of enthusiasm for this big production, and in the face of Tang Nian's repeated emphasis, they couldn't help but express their support with applause.

"Jingle Bell ......"

"Hey, Lao Cheng, what's the matter?"

"It's late in 'Civil War', and there's a cameo role that suits me well...... No problem! ”

"When?"

"It's better to go now...... The sooner the better...... Okay, I've arranged it here, and I'll call you in advance when I get on the plane! ”

Tang Nian put down the phone, looked at Lao Liu and the others, and said excitedly: "It's been two years, I can't forget Director Zhang's kindness to me, I will rush to Hollywood in North America as soon as possible to participate in "Civil War", this is my second cooperation with Director Zhang......"

"The affairs of the family, please leave it to you, the preliminary preparation of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" depends on Uncle Liu, if there is a situation, we will contact you by phone!"

"Okay, no problem!"

"You can go with confidence, thank you Director Zhang, we got together......"

"Shoot with your heart, you don't have to worry at home, we will do the premise work well!"

“……”

Knowing this invitation, Tang Nian couldn't refuse, and he had to pass it as soon as possible, and everyone in the performing arts workshop cheered Tang Nian up and appeased.

And Tang Nian's heart, with this sudden phone call, had already flown to North America, to the girl he missed every day......
