Kyle's department heads are selfish, they saw that Gu Xiaofan had done all their behind-the-scenes work alone, and when they thought of their confrontation with Gu Xiaofan just now, they were afraid that they would be replaced, and they shouted slogans just to show favor to Gu Xiaofan. 【】|

Gu Xiaofan created such a grand epic concept and turned it into a picture, no matter what the ratings are, "Game of Thrones" is very likely to be a work that is enough to leave a name in film history, who doesn't want to leave their name on the last subtitles?

Gu Xiaofan has invisibly established supreme prestige in the hearts of everyone in HBO, and everyone has learned something from him, the master.

After everyone shouted enthusiastically, the meeting slowly dispersed, and Taylor couldn't help but come over and shake hands with Gu Xiaofan, and said with a complicated face:

"Director Gu, you really opened my eyes today......" Although Taylor was very disappointed to give up the dominance of "Game of Thrones", he was also convinced, Gu Xiaofan is indeed more suitable than him to be the producer of this series.

After Gu Xiaofan shook hands with Taylor with a smile, Old Martin came over and patted Gu Xiaofan's shoulder again, revealing a meaningful expression: "Director Gu, you really surprised me." ”

Old Jett's careful and ingenious arrangement for half a year is to file Gu Xiaofan's sharpness, so that he can not give up the initiative and let Taylor take over.

Unexpectedly, the efforts of Taylor and more than 300 people in the past six months were not as good as the ideas in Gu Xiaofan's mind alone.

Gu Xiaofan knew that Old Martin had finally recognized him until this moment, but he whispered into Old Martin's ear and said, "Martin, did you deliberately omit the details of the stacking steel method?" ”

Martin was stunned for a moment, and a sly smile appeared on his fat face: "Kyle, they want to test you, but I also want to test them, but I didn't expect to hide it from you." ”

If Xiao Fan hadn't solved this little trap despite Xiao Fan, Martin might not be at ease with him now.

At this time, Martin also said to Gu Xiaofan seriously: "Do you know? When you contacted me a few years ago and said I was going to make Game of Thrones, I actually thought you were a crazy person......"

Gu Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and Liu Shishi asked curiously beside him, "Why?" Mr. Martin, aren't you glad we want to put your work on the TV screen? ”

Martin looked at Liu Shishi with a heavy face and said: "For Hollywood, there is no more dangerous task of adapting best-selling novels into film and television works, you may have seen many successful adaptations, but you don't know that behind those successful works, there are a pile of failures that you have never heard of, behind this successful adaptation, there are hundreds of similar projects in the process of implementing similar projects, piles of scripts, and years of hard work ......in vain."

"Is it that hard?" Liu Shishi couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Isn't it difficult?" Martin glared at Liu Shishi: "You think it's easy to turn words into dramas?" Writers can use psychological monologues, first-person, third-person narratives, and flashbacks that cannot be used in film and television dramas, but in film and television works, they can only express the character's inner subtle thoughts and psychological contradictions through the actor's view......"

Martin said and took a deep breath and said, "This is not the end, there are also space constraints and budget constraints, our work can easily add a large grand banquet hall in the novel, equipped with hundreds of fireplaces, thousands of well-dressed knights with different family coats, but how to build it in the series?" Looking for 1,000 extras per shot?

A Song of Ice and Fire features huge castles, dragons and wolfwolves, massive battles of thousands, shining armor, charming family coats of arms, jousting tournaments and sword fights, complex and flawed characters, an imaginary world, and all the people who live in it. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is less than a quarter of the story...... Unless it's crazy, of course, this work can't be adapted into a film and television......"

Martin couldn't help but shake his head and snort again and again: "This book is too big, too complicated, too expensive to shoot, only a madman would take over this project." ”

But after speaking, Martin looked up at Gu Xiaofan expectantly: "Director Gu, when Old Jett recommended you like me, he said that you can achieve this goal with Warner, but I don't really believe it...... Until today, I didn't know that you were more remarkable than Old Jett described......

Although I still don't think this adaptation will be successful, if anyone in the world can do this, it must be you...... Did you know, Director Gu, you've embarked on a difficult journey...... I hope you understand the dangers. ”

Gu Xiaofan nodded again and again when he listened, he knew that Old Martin was not alarmist.

However, Liu Shishi felt that this old Martin was deliberately scaring them, and she didn't care, as a social member of the Black Feather Studio, she greeted the heads of various departments one by one, and obviously felt that everyone respected her a lot, and her heart couldn't help but bloom.

After everyone left, she couldn't help but excitedly elbow Gu Xiaofan's body:

"Okay, Gu Xiaoqing, you can actually accept these foreigners very well, how arrogant the big fat man Kyle was when he came out just now, and now he sees me as if he is a grandson."

Liu Shishi was "giggling", but found that Gu Xiaofan had a deep face, and couldn't help asking, "Why, why don't you look happy?" ”

Gu Xiaofan showed a very helpless expression to her: "Sister Shi...... I'm so naïve, I watched "The Dark Knight" and we can't shoot it this year? ”

Liu Shishiqi said: "What? Didn't you plan to finish filming "Game of Thrones" and shoot "The Dark Knight" before the end of the year? ”

"The problem is that we are afraid that we will only be able to shoot one more season by October...... I'm afraid it's hard to say whether the effect will be good or not, and I'm afraid that the time of "The Dark Knight" won't be able to catch up" Gu Xiaofan explained worriedly:

"I've been on the verge and haven't thought it through, but now I understand that Game of Thrones is a work that is far beyond the capabilities of our Black Feather studio......"

Seeing that Liu Shishi couldn't understand, Gu Xiaofan slowly pointed to the concept map full of walls and said:

"You see...... Game of Thrones has the Wall, Castle Black, Beyond the Wall, Winterfell, King's Landing, Blackwater, Iron Isles, Eagle's Nest, Dragonstone, Essos, Quells...... 11 main scenes, each with more than 10 smaller scenes...... We needed to shoot in Croatia, Malta, Ireland, Iceland, various places along the Mediterranean coast......

Every scene and shot in this series is full of artistry, architecture, props, costumes, extras, and crew members are probably more than 500 people...... The story of King's Landing alone is enough to make a movie, and it's a super production I've never seen before, and there are so many things that need to be planned, scheduled, and coordinated...... I only considered the difficulty of filming before, but I didn't think of our logistical bottlenecks, with the current logistical capabilities of our Black Feather Studio, it is absolutely impossible to shoot so many seasons in half a year without reducing the quality of the series......"
