Chapter 309: I'm Tempted by a Kind of Film
Chapter 309 was moved by a class of films
In his previous life, Zhang Le was also a Bashu person.
I have a love-hate relationship with this very Chinese "Kung Fu Panda" shot by foreign filmmakers.
Love it because it's an extremely good movie for all ages. The handsome action design, cute image design, and witty language design are definitely a high-quality animation.
hates it, not the values that the film has been criticized for. Those who are lazy can easily be skilled, and they will be successful if they are not prepared, while those who study hard are nerds and will fail, and can only be used as a foil for the green leaves of the protagonist safflower image.
What Zhang Le hates is why this film was not shot by the Chinese themselves.
The backdrop of "Kung Fu Panda", whose landscapes, sets, costumes and even food are full of Chinese elements, has achieved hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office. For the Chinese animation industry, it is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face.
And as a Chinese person, as a Bashu person, he has a deep affection for the giant panda, a national treasure. This slap is not only felt by the animation industry, but also felt.
Kung Fu is Chinese, Panda's Chinese, but "Kung Fu Panda" has become Hollywood, and uses this thing to earn Chinese people's money.
Of course, Zhang Le did have the idea of filming this animated movie after seeing the giant panda. Before that, he had considered many films and even considered adaptations of Transformers. When he saw the giant panda, Zhang Le's considerations all came to naught.
"Jurassic Park" was plagiarized by Colombia, became Hollywood, and became Little Japanese. Although Zhang Le was angry, he didn't have much heartache, let alone self-blame. After all, dinosaurs aren't unique to China.
When it is a creative idea like "Kung Fu Panda", others are one step ahead. As a traverser, as a traverser with a plug-in, Zhang Le is difficult to accept and cannot forgive himself.
This film does not belong to him Zhang Le alone, but to the whole of China.
At least, that's what Zhang Le thinks today.
Watch the pandas come back. Along the way, Bao'er was excited, and grabbed the panda toy and didn't let go. She has so many toys that she can stack up in a room, but at this time she clearly loves pandas the most.
After returning home, Zhang Le took the time to get out the script and character settings of "Kung Fu Panda", and even drew a sketch of some animal images in it.
With the technology of today's special effects companies, it is necessary to produce as good as the original in the previous life. Nature is not a problem. Zhang Le considered whether the film should be made into a 3D version.
"What do you think?" Yang Xin'er walked behind Zhang Le and pinched his shoulder.
"Bao'er slept?" Zhang Le didn't answer, but asked.
Yang Xin'er nodded. For Zhang Le did not return to himself, but thought of Bao'er first, Yang Xin'er was happy.
"I wondered if I should make this film into a 3D version." Zhang Le answered truthfully.
"Can cartoons be made in 3D?" Yang Xin'er asked curiously.
"Of course!" Zhang Le smiled and said, "But the cost is relatively high." ”
"Cost is not an issue. However, the use of 3D technology can sometimes make fans forget about the movie itself. Yang Xin'er said. Movie fans can forget, but as filmmakers, they can't forget. You're passionate about film technology. But the film itself cannot be ignored either. As a director, if your film is only focused on film technology by fans, the gain outweighs the loss. ”
"So, for my first 3D film, I didn't choose Transformers, but Inception! In fact. Columbia Pictures didn't plagiarize the idea of "Jurassic Park," and if that film was the first 3D film, I plan to shoot the subsequent "Inception" without 3D technology, just for fear of the situation you said. Zhang Le smiled and said.
"Actually. I can also see that "Jurassic Park" is more suitable as the first 3D film than "Inception". Columbia Pictures breaks your plans. Yang Xin'er said.
Zhang Le patted Yang Xin'er's hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I actually have a movie in my mind that is more suitable for appearing as the first 3D film, but the shooting cycle may be longer." I don't want to see my ideas plagiarized by others to make a splash in the world and make a lot of money. Am I careful, you say? ”
"You're not careful." Yang Xin'er smiled and said, "If you don't react to this, don't teach them a lesson." It's not that you're generous, it's that you're stupid. Be generous, but don't make people think you're a bully. You're doing the right thing. Even grandpa said you should be like this! ”
"Fighting with little Japan, for people of my grandfather's generation, I will naturally support it." Zhang Le smiled, then looked back at Yang Xin'er, and continued, "You said, if I adapt my grandfather's experience into a movie, will he agree?" ”
"No!" Yang Xin'er said very simply, "If you make a movie about the Anti-Japanese War, grandpa will definitely support it." But if he were to shoot him, he wouldn't agree. ”
"Why?" Zhang Le asked with some curiosity.
"If my grandfather's brothers were still alive a few decades ago, and you made a movie to praise him, he would have been very happy. Because he can take this movie and show it off to his old brothers. But now, how many old comrades-in-arms came down from the battlefield with grandpa? ”
"When I was a child, my grandfather always liked to talk about his military exploits and brag to me, but now with the death of his old comrades-in-arms, my grandfather has long been reluctant to mention it. Every time he mentions it, he thinks of his old comrades-in-arms who have passed away, and the unsung heroes who died on the battlefield. Grandpa is becoming more and more sensitive, so it's better not to mention this matter to him. ”
Zhang Le nodded. He understands that.
"However, my dad wants you to make a military-themed movie." Yang Xin'er said suddenly.
"Movies?" Zhang Le smiled and said, "I plan to shoot a few military-themed TV series, and the movie needs to be considered." ”
"It's good to make a few TV series." Yang Xin'er said, "That's what my dad said. ”
"My father-in-law has already spoken, can I not think about it? I just don't know if he wants to do it big or small. Zhang Le said with a smile.
Speaking of military-themed movies, one came to Zhang Le's mind. However, if Zhang Le was asked to shoot that movie, it would be a little inappropriate. Although Zhang Le liked that film very much.
If he makes a military-themed movie, the scene will definitely be bigger.
Zhang Le likes the visual impact of big scenes.
Zhang Le was said by Yang Xin'er, for military-themed movies, but he shot ** again. It's just that this kind of film can't escape the limitation of the main theme. And when shooting, it will not be as casual as other films. There is definitely a lot of interference as well.
As a director, losing the freedom of the film is something Zhang Le doesn't like.
"As big as you want to shoot, my dad can give you as much support." Yang Xin'er smiled faintly and said.
When Zhang Le heard this, he was really moved. He's not a military fan, but he's also half. What's more, when filming "Transformers" in the future, the support of the military is indispensable. (To be continued.) )
