Episode 209 "Covering the Sky"
Lin Feihong has always felt that he is a cattle who has opened up the wasteland, always creating new things in this new world, all the way down, from a high school student who is nothing to the current famous director who stands on the throne of the film industry, most of the movies made along the way are inspired by life, to put it bluntly, it is just a movie from life that is associated with the previous life, but the good thing is that there is a change, but just doing a superficial thing is useless, and he still wears a "plagiarism" hat on his head.
When a person is in a certain position, his thinking will be completely different from before, especially when this status is obtained by certain means, Lin Feihong now has this feeling. Everything he has now is obtained by plagiarism, no way, this is a favor from God, no, that is the real fool, but mortals always have an advantage, or a disadvantage, self-confidence!
When a person has a certain ability and status, he will have a kind of self-confidence, assertiveness, very much want to be independent, no longer want to be attached to something, very much want to have his own things, mentality and thinking have changed imperceptibly, especially for the creator. Lin Feihong's feeling is very strong, his mentality has quietly changed after filming so many other people's things, and his disgust has gradually accumulated in his heart, and this feeling has now exploded.
Lin Feihong doesn't want to make those movies in his previous life anymore, he can't finish filming, and even if he does, he doesn't have much sense of achievement, and the sense of achievement is very important for a successful person with a high status of fame and fortune, this is human nature, when standing at a certain height, he always feels that his ability must not only be to do the things at hand, people want to go to a higher place, they all want to prove themselves, and they all want to see if they can rely on their own talents to go further on the road of life without these previous guarantees.
The sense of accomplishment gradually loses, the sense of disgust deepens, so the passion disappears, without passion naturally can not create anything good, and there is no motivation to do things, so Lin Feihong now feels empty every time he finishes a movie, and he doesn't know what he should do. Without a goal, his original passion was long gone, and now he suddenly felt that he would get tired of copying other people's things, and it was only a matter of time before this kind of thing happened.
Now that this kind of thing has happened, there is no need to continue to struggle, the original era of passion has passed, and now is the time to open up the world, even if there is anxiety ahead, even if there is no movie in the previous life, it will be slumped from now on, but these are no longer important, because passion is the most important, think about it, you have to get rid of the shadow and shackles of your previous life, Lin Feihong is passionate. It's like going back five years.
Lin Feihong is not afraid of what the road ahead will be. Thinking about Leslie Cheung's move, I am more confident. Leslie Cheung moved forward bravely. He boldly filmed the TV series he created without filming anything, the script is his own, and the TV series is also his own, this is the real director. Even if it fails in the end, there are no regrets, at least it is something that I created by myself.
The doubts on his face finally waved away, and a surging blood rolled out from his heart, even the high box office of "Source Code" would not give Lin Feihong such passion, so dreams are very important, people can't live without dreams, and if there are dreams, there will be passion.
Passion is a prerequisite for making dreams come true!
Leaving behind the past films, Lin Feihong began to look for new targets, and now the company has a complete special effects team. This resource must be put to good use, and they cannot be fed for nothing.
Now that Lin Feihong has a certain ability, it's time to realize his original dream, and he has taken a few self-films of "Tomb of the Gods" and "Immortal Realm". After "Devouring the Starry Sky" and "Panlong", the original idea of adapting the novel was put aside, and now, the time is ripe to create a dream.
"Covering the Sky" has always been the movie that Lin Feihong wants to make the most.
It's much easier, the most important thing for a fantasy novel to make a fantasy movie is to have a fantasy color, this special effects team can solve it, the fantasy color of "Aragon" is biased towards the West, and the fantasy color in "Covering the Sky" is the most suitable for our Eastern nation, so if "Covering the Sky" can be filmed, the response must be not small.
The failure of the past does not mean that fantasy novels cannot be adapted into movies, there are reasons for failure, the most important reason is that the national technology was relatively backward at that time, and the special effects technology could not reach the footsteps of the West.
This problem is no longer a problem, because now China also has Western special effects technology, which fills the dead hole of the past.
So no matter what, the road of filming "Covering the Sky" must work, after thinking about it like this, Lin Feihong immediately sat up from the chair and returned to the computer, and began to conceive, the script must not be written into the novel, just write a rough one, the key is still in the post-production of special effects
"Sister Rong, why has Feihong been hiding in the room recently, has he started to write new scripts again, this speed is too fast, he didn't start creating new works so diligently after the movie was released before, why is it so fast this time."
Wang Rong fed the little things and put them on the crib to sleep, and only after covering the little things with the quilt did she say to Ding Xu: "It is estimated that he started to create with a sudden inspiration, and he is like this when he is inspired, and there is no fixed time." ”
Ding Xu thought for a while, and said to Wang Rong puzzled: "I asked him if there was any role suitable for me, and he said yes, but he didn't tell me what the specific role was, nor did he say what the specific script was called, only that he would tell me when the script was almost finished." ”
"There's always a reason for him to do this, let him go, let's not disturb him now and let him meditate and create."
Time is flowing at your fingertips, and the number of weeks of "Source Code" has been increasing, from the first week to the eighth week to the present, it has maintained the position of the weekly box office champion, and has never been surpassed, and now it has been released for eight weeks, with a total box office of 2.258 billion.
The soaring situation in the past few weeks is expected to surpass "Aragon" in the eyes of the media, looking at the current form of "Source Code", it can be released for at least more than two weeks, and it should be no problem to attract more than 200 million in these two weeks, so many media are more optimistic about "Source Code", they think that "Source Code" surpassing "Aragon" is just around the corner!
The media has followed and reported all the way, making "Source Code" always the headlines in the entertainment industry, and many people want to see when "Source Code" will be offline, and they are all waiting for the final box office, after all, 2.501 billion has been ingrained in their hearts, and they want to see higher data.
In the process of the media's frantic coverage of "Source Code", Lin Feihong did not pay attention to the news, he has been immersed in the creation of "Covering the Sky" for two months, and after more than two months of struggle, he finally reduced a novel to a small script, the script is actually only tens of thousands of words, mainly notes, key points, where to need what special effects, where to need action, where all the special effects are needed and do not need actors, etc., now it is time to tell them about the new work.
I didn't tell them before because Feng Qingyang hadn't negotiated with the singularity yet, Lin Feihong's request to Feng Qingyang was to make sure that the Singularity Network headquarters accepted this request, Feng Qingyang talked about it three times before it was negotiated, and he went to talk about it two days ago and finally got his wish. The main reason why Singularity didn't agree was that Lin Feihong had created several movies based on novels before, but they all failed, so they had lingering fears and didn't dare to take this risk again.
Feng Qingyang's point of view is that it is not what it used to be, the current Lin Feihong is not the hairy boy of five years ago, not to mention that there is still a special effects company, Feng Qingyang also said that Lin Feihong had this plan for a long time, and when he was preparing to acquire a special effects company, he had the idea of shooting novels for movies, and now since he has acquired a large company, he must always use it, and he can't just sit and eat rice, fantasy is a Chinese characteristic, and Qihong Film and Television is a subsidiary of Singularity.com, this kind of cooperation is reasonable, which can increase the author's creative enthusiasm
Lin Feihong didn't know what Feng Qingyang said, but no matter what, this cooperation model has been negotiated now, which is the most important thing.
"Next, we are going to shoot the fantasy movie "Covering the Sky", which is adapted from the novel, and this is the script that everyone is familiar with."
Summoned Andy Lau and others to have a small meeting in the hall and handed them the script of "Covering the Sky".
Lin Feihong glanced at everyone, and then continued: "Most of this has to be done with special effects technology, especially the scene of the Kowloon coffin at the beginning, there are more special effects and fewer aspects of acting, so the script is relatively less, and there may be some places in the middle that are not coherent. ”
"How do you assign so many roles?" Andy Lau quickly flipped through the script and said to Lin Feihong.
Lin Feihong nodded, and determined them one by one according to the characters in the play, Andy Lau still plays the starring role Ye Fan.
After that, Lin Feihong went to the company and specially found Lin Wenqing, the leader of the special effects team, to discuss with him about the special effects of "Covering the Sky".
"This time it mainly uses special effects technology, so you start to do it now, so that everyone is familiar with the content and then do it to avoid rework, you first do the place that completely relies on special effects, such as monsters, lights, weapons, some actions don't do it first, and after our physical actions are filmed, you can add some illusory actions according to the existing products, so that the protagonist is more fantasy and can give people a huge power. Remember, do it seriously, as I wrote, where you need to pay attention to, where you need to focus on adding fantasy color, I don't want to hear the word rework. ”
After explaining the precautions, I chatted with Feng Qingyang's office, learned about some company things and left, Feng Qingyang and Guo Wenli are still busy with the overseas release of "Source Code" and preparing to participate in next year's Oscar materials, "Paradise Cinema" and "The Shawshank Redemption" will also make up this time, and I didn't have time to participate in the competition last time, and I must not miss it again this time.
Three films will participate in next year's Oscars at the same time, what kind of season will it be next year?
