Chapter 299: I know why Zhang Yi didn't shoot "Zhu Xian" (II)

At the beginning of the creation of Zhang Yi's version of "The Flood Wilderness", he went to the movie. Many of the settings in it are set in the service of movies, and the novels also give a sense of imagery. People who read novels can't help but fantasize about a "flood wilderness" picture of their own in their minds.

The first part of "The Flood Wilderness", "The Lich of the Flood Wilderness", involves many ancient Chinese myths and legends. For example: Pangu Kaitian, Hongjun preaching, Nuwa makes people out of clay, Kuafu chasing rì, Houyi shèrì, Chang'e soaring, Gonggong angrily touching Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa mending the sky, etc., and even the origin of Wu Gang's felling of trees, Jade Rabbit, Guanghan Palace, etc.

Moreover, it tells that these legends are connected in a qiē, forming a complete storyline. The story has a logical xìng, which makes people feel the illusion of sudden realization after watching it.

That's how it looks!

The whole novel, with the relationship between Hou Yi and Chang'e as the main line, involves many legends. The book describes in detail the differences between the Lich before and after its transformation, laying the foundation for a future film.

"Didn't you fall in love with Zhang Yi's novel again?" Shi Nansheng said to Xu Ke, who was in "The Flood".

"What's the use of fanciing, no one can get the copyright of this novel from Zhang Yi." Xu Ke smiled bitterly and said, "I know now, why didn't Zhang Yi shoot "Zhu Xian"! ”

"You mean that in this novel, Zhang Yi may change it into a movie by himself?" Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke and then asked. Although she knew that Xu Ke was interested in this novel, she didn't want to rate it so highly.

The meaning of Xu Ke's words is nothing more than that Zhang Yi does not shoot "Zhu Xian", just because he wants to shoot "The Flood"!

"Not impossible. Rather, it must be. The style of this novel is very similar to "Resident Evil" and "Jurassic Park", presenting a strong sense of graphics. It's like a novel that has been changed from a script. Xu Ke put down the newspaper, then shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about who is better and who is inferior in this novel or "Zhu Xian"?" It doesn't say that it will be changed into a movie, who is good and who is bad. But this "Flood Wilderness" was filmed into a movie, which is definitely visually more shocking than "Zhu Xian", and although it is an oriental mythological story, it is definitely more in line with the taste of Westerners than "Zhu Xian". In particular, the lich transformation is a very highlight. In the West, there is a legend of the transformation of the werewolf, and if a movie is made, the transformation of the lich will definitely be understood by Westerners. But "Zhu Xian" is different. ”

"Is his non-novel going to the Western market?" Shi Nansheng heard Xu Ke's words, and then said.

"He's a genius. He brought out the ancient legends of China in a way that Westerners could understand, and it is no wonder that he achieved such amazing box office results in the world cinema. His grasp of Western audiences is unmatched among the Chinese. Xu Ke said with some sighs.

"Can this novel really be compared to "Zhu Xian"? "Zhu Xian" can be hailed as a classic in Zhang Yi's novels, especially in terms of romance, which is even more amazing. Shi Nansheng asked with some curiosity. She also watched Zhang Yi's new film, but she didn't study it as deeply as Xu Ke, and she didn't watch it like Xu Ke.

"Hehe, the love of "Flood Wilderness" is definitely not inferior to "Zhu Xian", Hou Yi, who was serialized today, died, but he did not cut down the laurel tree in vain to save Chang'e. And Chang'e gets along with her day and night, but she doesn't know that Wu Gang is Hou Yi. In the few chapters serialized today, I don't know how many people's tears have been rubbed. Hehe, when Zhang Yi wrote "Zhu Xian", Baguio was written to death, and many book fans went to the newspaper office to make trouble for a while. And now, I'm afraid that many book lovers are going to the newspaper office to make trouble. Xu Ke said, laughing together, as if gloating.

"You're fooling me." Shi Nansheng listened to Xu Ke's words, and said suspiciously, "Hou Yi cut down the laurel tree to save Chang'e?" Wu Gang is Hou Yi? What is this? ”

"Hey, hey. In this novel, there are many ancient Chinese mythological stories, and Zhang Yi actually linked him to a qiē, and the logic is extremely strong, which seems absurd, but he can't find a flaw. After reading it, you will have a kind of thing, and this is how it should be. Xu Ke said, his tone was a little admiring.

Shi Nansheng still looked at Xu Ke suspiciously.

"I'll give you an example. In Zhang Yi's novel, Hou Yi heroically saves the United States and Chang'e. And when he rescued her, he shè killed the son of Kunpeng, and Kunpeng was the demon master, that is, the teacher of the son of the demon emperor. This teacher was incapable of avenging his son, so he instigated his students, which led to the legend of ten rì in Chinese myths and legends. Immediately afterwards, it naturally caused Kuafu to chase after him. Kuafu chased Rì to death, and then led to Hou Yi shèrì, and then Hou Yi shèrì, led to the zhì Lich War. Immediately led to Chang'e running to the moon, Gonggong angrily touched Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa made up for the sky, etc. Advancing layer by layer, cause and effect are connected, and it is simply seamless. Xu Ke said, a little excited.

"When you say that, you talk about my interest." When Shi Nansheng heard this, he smiled and said.

"It's not a novel, it's definitely worth reading. This is the first part, and it can be seen from some of his previous descriptions that in this novel, he will sort out the entire mythological system of China. It is very likely to connect those Chinese myths and stories. Xu Ke smiled and said, "I'm actually very curious. ”

"It's not a novel, I read some of the front. If it is made into a movie, it is estimated that it will be difficult. Not to mention his special effects technology, even his investment will be astronomical. Shi Nansheng thought for a while, and then said, "You said that Zhang Yi would really shoot this novel into a movie?" ”

"Special effects technology is evolving so much that it's not a problem at all. As for the investment, do you think Zhang Yi will not be able to come up with the money now? He is making movies now, but he doesn't care about the cost at all. Just bought a film company in the United States, and they dare to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie. As a result, it made a lot of money. And now, hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in the filming of "Jurassic Park". Moreover, I have some doubts that he will be warming up for "Zhu Xian" by filming "Jurassic Park". ”

"Jurassic Park" doesn't require his hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, and if that money doesn't include the money he bought on the island in the Maldives, it also includes the money to build a dinosaur theme park. The production fee of "Jurassic Park" is estimated to be 50 or 60 million US dollars. Shi Nansheng then said.

"A movie actually comes with travel, toys, games, etc., maybe only Zhang Yi's movies can do it." Xu Ke then said.

"You seem to have a lot of faith in his new film. The movie is good, and the qiē is good. If the movie is smashed, his incidental things will immediately lose a lot. Shi Nansheng nodded, and then said, "Where did he get this confidence?" ”

"Do you think his "Jurassic Park" will be smashed?" Xu Ke smiled and said, "If you smash it, he won't be Zhang Yi anymore." ”

"Who can guarantee that their films will always be popular?" Shi Nansheng said.

"He Zhang Yi can." Xu Ke said.

Shi Nansheng also had to admit that Zhang Yi really has no failed works, or no money-losing movies.

"Are you planning to find him and shoot "Zhu Xian"? Mr. Lin had already committed to investing in the film last time. Shi Nansheng suddenly thought of something, and then said.

He bought New Arts City and changed its name to Media Asia, hoping to make a name for himself as a film company. But who else but him wants to invest in this film? Xu Ke said.

Because of the appearance of Zhang Yi, Xinyi City disintegrated ahead of schedule, and was also acquired by Lin Jianyue, who came back from graduating from the United States, with the help of his family.

"Why don't you ask Zhang Yi again. Now, the special effects technology doesn't necessarily meet the requirements he thinks it is, otherwise he wouldn't have filmed "Jurassic Park". Shi Nansheng then said.

Xu Ke heard this and nodded.

Since the serialization of Zhang Yi's "Flood Famine", it has caused great heated discussions, especially his series of many Chinese myths and legends, but it is very logical, which shocked everyone.

However, Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention to these things, he only knew that his novel had increased the sales of Ming Pao a lot again. At this time, he spent his jīng energy on "Jurassic Park", a film that he was ready to completely open the European and American markets.
