"This "Legend of the Great Sage" is based on the first half of the classical novel "Journey to the West", with the character of Sun Wukong as the main perspective of the story, the role of Sun Wukong will be produced by pure CG animation, presented by the actor with action expression capture, the overall film will also be filmed in a combination of live and CG, and the expected release time is ...... at the end of 2009."

Li Xiaole announced his new movie in front of everyone, and an exclamation suddenly sounded in the audience! The fans at the scene looked at each other excitedly, Bai Yansong and Li Yong and others couldn't help but high-five each other, and then couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, sure enough, Li Xiaole is going to make a big move when he comes back, making a 3D magic movie in China!! This is a subject that no director has ever dared to touch.

The reporters' eyes lit up, and now they can get big news, Li Xiaole, the first to win the Oscar for Best Director with a fantasy theme, actually wants to shoot a Chinese magic theme! It still has to be done in 3D.

Although the audience was jubilant, those who knew how to make movies couldn't help frowning slightly, but they just thought about the difficulty of this subject matter in their hearts, and gasped......

Everyone knows that once the themes of "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen Bang" are suitable for all ages on the big screen, they will definitely be sought after by ordinary audiences, but so far, only cartoons like "Baolian Lantern" dare to taste this genre, the reason is not that domestic producers don't want to, but that they can't ...... If this kind of subject matter wants to be on the big screen, it is not only unimaginable to invest, but also difficult to produce, and no production company has the ability to shoot it......

Coupled with the new and difficult to control technique of 3D...... It's an impossible task......

"Han Sanpin, is this time co-produced by your China Film and Black Pearl Company?" The supporter Li Sisi found that Han Sanpin was also stunned when he heard the news, so he asked curiously.

Han Sanpin was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Xiaole to want to shoot a magical theme like "Journey to the West", which is simply a forbidden area for Chinese movies...... But no matter how much he felt that this genre couldn't be made into a movie, but thinking of his promise to Li Xiaole before he came to power, he could only nod stubbornly and said:

"If it is Director Li's work, of course we at China Film Group will continue to cooperate with them." For Han Sanpin, no matter what Li Xiaole's next movie makes, he will not be able to sit idly by.

"Director Li mentioned this to me a long time ago, he said that he likes Chinese classical culture very much, and hopes that one day he can make these stories of China into world-class films and spread them to the global market, I admire his goals and abilities, and this time he obviously fulfilled his promise, very good, really very good."

Han Sanpin sighed and aggravated his tone, a small part of this is compliment and publicity, and more is from the heart, no matter what the result is, Li Xiaole dared to shoot the theme of "Journey to the West", this kind of courage is very worthy of praise~~

He also believes that since Li Xiaole has thought about it, this movie should not be bad, this is his trust in Li Xiaole.

"I believe that this "The Legend of the Great Sage" will be the pioneering work of our Chinese 3D films~ It will definitely surprise each of us."

Although there was warm applause at the venue, and the fans were also excited by Han Sanpin's words, they inevitably had a trace of doubt, did they say it so well? China Film Group likes to boast about itself in every movie, which is a convention, and Han Sanpin seems to have said something similar when Chen Kaige's "Wuji" before...... Surprise ...... The result is more than ...... of fright.

"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie Han Zong, I'm a little embarrassed to say it, you should all be thinking, is it as exaggerated as you said?" Li Xiaole laughed self-deprecatingly, and the audience who were exposed couldn't help but chuckle, Li Sisi also laughed, Li Xiaole smiled:

"That's it, although this "The Legend of the Great Sage" is probably still more than a year away from filming, but today we brought a concept map of it, please enjoy it, please help correct it......"

Saying that, Li Xiaole handed the USB flash drive he was carrying to the staff, and after a while, he saw the big screen behind the two of them, and then released a picture, which is one of the concept drawings that Li Xiaole has recently drawn, after years of study and hard practice, his painting is far better than when he was in China, plus Xu Zhen's art team coloring, so beautiful that you can enter the gallery.

The upper part of the picture is a vast blue sky, and the lower part on the right is surrounded by mountains, and the fog is rising, and the looming mountain is full of thousands of demons of different shapes, some holding bows and arrows, holding a magic weapon like a gourd, and the brave demon warriors who ride bats to rush to the enemy's warship in the sky.

And above the sky, there are dozens of beautifully shaped invincible giant ships like ancient myths, and the fairy swords in their hands have been tilted down, heading straight for the monsters and ghosts on the top of the mountain......

"Wow! Very beautiful concept art, what is this doing!? The audience's eyes widened with excitement, just looking at this picture, he knew that the scene of this movie was so grand! Many people said anxiously: "It can't be a lie, right?" Would you really shoot like that!? What a big investment it takes, and can we shoot this effect here...... I think it's hard for Hollywood to do it, right? So many CG animations are calculated as many polygons as ......"

"yes...... Add 3D to that...... Oh my God, this is terrifying, how can this be filmed? ”

"Li Xiaole won't write empty checks!"

The fans here also felt a surge of blood and excitement! What a gorgeous scene! What a huge immortal fleet! It seems that the background of this "The Legend of the Great Sage" will not be a small fight in that version of the TV series! Li Xiaole really wants to make this work according to the specifications of "The Lord of the Rings", no~! If this scene is really filmed, it will definitely be much more shocking than "The Lord of the Rings!? Plus 3D ...... Oh, my God~!!

Everyone was excitedly fantasizing, and at the same time worried that the film would not be able to reach the heights they imagined.

Han Sanpin also couldn't take his eyes off it, and asked Li Xiaole in a low voice: "This kind of scene, if you need to achieve good quality, I'm afraid it's impossible to be fully CG...... I'm afraid this framing is a big problem......"

"Yes, Uncle Han...... I need your help with this, and I'm going to build a large film and television base. Li Xiaole squinted his eyes and smiled.

"You........." Han Sanpin gasped and sighed in a low voice: "This time, even your Uncle Han has calculated it, I really don't know what to say about you." ”

Now the interview is not in a hurry, there are already fans who take out their cameras to take pictures of the rendering on the big screen regardless of etiquette, but the reporters know that there is no need to worry, since Li Xiaole announced this new work "The Legend of the Great Sage", with his style of attaching importance to publicity, its official website will come out very much, and it may be launched tomorrow, this concept map can definitely be downloaded freely on it, and there will be screen wallpaper styles with different resolution ratios.

But the reporters also hurriedly recorded the text message, as if they were afraid to turn their heads and forget, and immediately sent the news to their respective editorial offices, which is definitely a super powerful bomb for the Chinese film industry! Breaking news! Look at the fans around here, their faces are contorted with joy...... Of course, it may be a tangled twist......

Is it possible for a Chinese film to make a scene of this scale on the concept map? This is a huge question on everyone's mind.

"Li Xiaole and Han Sanpin teamed up again to launch the 3D magic masterpiece "The Legend of the Great Sage", with beautiful concept drawings and ambitious scenes......"

"Li Xiaole's return to China is a big deal as soon as he makes a move."

The reporters are like flying, and new words are constantly added to the thin book in their hands, "Han Sanpin, the godfather of Chinese films" plus "the new Oscar Best Director Li Xiaole", the Chinese film giant China Film Group + Black Pearl, the star production company that ranks fourth in Hollywood's performance, can this combination challenge Hollywood?

When this issue of "The Director's Legend" was not broadcast, heavy news began to spread at the program site, and many online media such as Sohu and Sina reported that Li Xiaole revealed his new plan "The Legend of the Great Sage" at the program site.

Later, when they were interviewed on the show and the show, he and Han Sanpin both laughed and said that they couldn't reveal too much information yet, because this film is still a prototype, and the preliminary preparation will take at least a year or more, but this will be a very surprising movie.

When it comes to the scale of production, Li Xiaole said that there is no clear budget for the time being, but he said that the production cost of "The Legend of the Great Sage" will exceed that of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy!!

This means that it will be at least more than $300 million...... This number is shocking to everyone, but considering that "Life of Pi" also has this scale, everyone does not think that this is impossible.

As expected, the official website of "The Legend of the Great Sage" was quietly launched that night, with not much content, and the exquisite pages only have official news reports, photos of Li Xiaole and Han Sanpin, and the concept map released on "The Legend of the Director"; To the surprise of fans, there are two concept images that have been revealed.

In addition to the wide-angle "Fairy and Demon War" picture, another giant resolution picture is composed of dense character concept maps, which not only have 5 kinds of shapes of the protagonist Sun Wukong, but also Erlang God, Nezha, Eight Immortals, Four Heavenly Kings, Bull Demon King, Rosa Girl, Golden Horn King, Dragon Girl...... Hundreds of immortals, gods, demons, and demons...... It makes people's eyes dazzled~~

Obviously, this time Li Xiaole is definitely not just playing, but really like what he said, he is going to shoot Hollywood's top standard movies in China......
