Old Martin, who was drinking coffee, looked at Gu Xiaofan and sighed in his heart, fortunately, Old Jett had arranged it in advance...... Otherwise, this young Chinese man will take over "Game of Thrones" alone, and I am afraid that his life's work will be ruined. [No pop-up novel network]. しw0。

At the beginning, Martin agreed to sell the rights to the adaptation to Warner because he trusted Jett Sr.

Old Martin glanced at Taylor, and Taylor said sincerely: "Director Gu, you can start, you are the chief director, you can instruct us on the shooting plan first." ”

Gu Xiaofan was almost ready at this time, and he also stood up and signaled that the staff would distribute the storyboard script he had prepared long ago to the three film crews.

"You're all elites in the industry, and I'm not going to talk nonsense." Gu Xiaofan got straight to the point:

"This time we have four film crews working together, and the most important thing for us is to have a clear division of labor, and now you all have storyboards for filming.

This is the storyline of the first three seasons.

In the first season, there are three main lines, and Group A is responsible for 'Ned goes south as Prime Minister and discovers the shady scenes of King's Landing'.

Team B is responsible for the 'Little Devil Adventure Line', and Group C is responsible for Daenerys Fire Reborn......

In the second season, there are nine plot lines.

Group A is in charge of 'Stannis as King', 'Bran as Acting Lord of Winterfell', and Theon the Changeling.

Team B is responsible for "Robb King of the North", "Arya Riverwalk", and "Snow Adventure in the North".

Group C is responsible for "Little Birdie Shansha > Cersei & Joffrey" and "Little Devil becoming Prime Minister of King's Landing." "Daenerys Crusade." ……

Gu Xiaofan was talking, and the people in the room were all whispering to each other in surprise: "This Chinese director is really amazing...... With such a complex story, he can organize it in an orderly manner. ”

"It seems that winning the Oscar is not just a matter of luck."

"When I read the original book, I thought about how to shoot this kind of multi-line story, but I didn't expect it to be so clear, and his brain is too good."

Before in the industry, why did everyone know that "A Song of Ice and Fire" was a masterful classic, but no one dared to shoot it?

There are two main reasons, the first is that the cost is too high and it is difficult to recover the cost, and the second, and most importantly, it is extremely difficult to shoot.

You must know that even if it is an American drama, the characters with lines in the general drama are about 30 people, and the core characters are 5 or 6 people, which is already much more complicated than the logic of other country dramas.

In contrast, "Game of Thrones" is a series of another dimension, this series, a total of 162 characters with lines in the whole play, with 17 core characters...... is much beyond the limit that ordinary directors and screenwriters can carry......

Even the "Lord of the Rings" series, which is known as grandiose, can be regarded as pediatric in comparison.

And Gu Xiaofan was able to organize such a grand plot and characters in an orderly manner with the ability of one person, and redesign the dialogues and characters, so that the text could be turned into a picture lens for shooting, this super artistic ability is simply incredible.

Old Martin and Taylor both knew that Gu Xiaofan had two brushes, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful.

Liu Shishi looked at the people at the scene with a look of admiration, and she was also relieved, it seems that the prestige of Gu Xiaofan, the chief director, has been established.

But just after Gu Xiaofan finished talking about his own arrangements, Martin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, and he said in a low voice:

"Director Gu, this is really a very wonderful storyboard, which is eye-opening...... But why haven't I seen the detailed concept design for the 'Westeros' world? "Westeros is where the story of Game of Thrones takes place.

Gu Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What? Isn't the concept design in charge of the props department? ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in HBO immediately frowned, and Gu Xiaofan's reaction meant that he was a complete layman.

The previous delicate storyboard script brought everyone that sense of admiration, all of which disappeared because of this sentence, and was replaced by a kind of disappointment and helplessness.

As the chief director of a fantasy series, he doesn't even know the concept map of the world?

Liu Shishi saw everyone's reaction next to him, and he was secretly anxious, although Gu Xiaofan is China's premier director and screenwriter, he is a complete layman when it comes to fantasy themes, and they know many things at all...... Now people can see the flaw.

At this time, Taylor also reminded him squarely: "Director Gu, "Game of Thrones" is not an ordinary series, but a fantasy series, that is, an epic story of pure fantasy.

Therefore, in the storyboard, it is not just like an ordinary story, but only the action of the characters, the position of the camera, the rhythm of the shooting, and the control of the lines.

What's more...... It's also about designing a set of costumes, buildings, and even monster effects that are exactly the same...... When the style is unified, the various departments can start working. ”

The fantasy genre is different from ordinary stories in that many things are completely fictional based on words, and there is nothing like it in reality.

For example, if you want to make the magical creatures of the "strange ghosts" in the text realistic, the first step is to design a concept draft of the pattern and let the special effects department make it.

The difficulty in this is that it must be "plausible", not purely fictional, if it is the kind of "strange ghost" in people's minds, it cannot be in the list of gods, it cannot be in Hindu mythology, nor is it a "vampire" or a "zombie", but it is the kind of European people in the Middle World, the whole body is condensed by ice, blue eyeballs, and unique fantasy creatures...... This requires an incomparable understanding of European and American history, as well as a deep understanding of fantasy literature, which requires years of accumulation, from the finger skin color of the "strange ghost", to the demeanor, to the action mode, it must be completely real and elegant, even if Gu Xiaofan is a unique screenwriter genius in the world, it is impossible to do these details well.

Gu Xiaofan only reacted at this time, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Do you need a producer to control these?" "He had never touched a fantasy genre at all, and he didn't have this concept in his mind.

Mom, why didn't he think of this before?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, in the past few years, he has been busy with various things non-stop, one after another, where does he have time to stop and prepare for "Game of Thrones......

But at this point, Gu Xiaofan could only bite the bullet and say, "Then let's start designing now." ”

At this time, old Martin pretended to be displeased next to him and said: "This should have been prepared a year ago, and it is too late to start thinking about it now?" ”
