Chapter 213: Bullet Time

In the magazine, Zhang Qiuxi was lying lazily on the table, looking very bored. At this point, there are basically no classes in the school, and there is more time than before.

After the novel was written, I felt that I had nothing to do, the script of the third season of "Growing Pains" had already been handed over to Han Xue, and it was estimated that the filming was almost finished.

"Xiaoyue is already full of enthusiasm to go to the internship, can you have a little mental outlook? How to say that it is also a good young man in the new era, if I take a photo of your virtue and pass it on Weibo, I don't know how many people's dreams will be broken. Hongdou knocked on Zhang Qiuxi's head when he passed by.

"Spring is sleepy, summer is lacking, autumn is weak, winter is just sleeping. It's bedtime again, so it's normal to be unmotivated. After being knocked out, Zhang Qiuxi still didn't get up.

"Do you need to hibernate too? Do you want me to find a place for you to sleep in the winter? Hongdou couldn't help but complain again.

"At this time, you should write more scripts, whether it is a machine cat or a slam dunk master." Ye Qingqing also has more time, but the workload has not decreased, so she is still busy. Zhang Qiuxi's expression was extraordinarily hateful, which made her very indignant.

Zhang Qiuxi finally got up and said: "The script I wrote before is only half done, and the creativity of your idea machine qì cat is also piled up, where do you need to do more." ”

Shangguan Jin asked: "What did Kawasaki Bookstore say to you, we still have two works to cooperate with them, but this time they didn't rush you, and there is no news that Shangguan Spring is going to open the fourth season." ”

"Because they don't plan to open the fourth season of Shangguan Spring, and they don't plan to continue to launch collaborative works for the time being. Now Kawasaki Shoten is working on two animations at the same time, both of which have nothing to do with us at all. ”

Zhang Qiuxi said: "One of these two works is adapted from the manga, and the other is an original work cooperated by scripter Taku Eguchi and supervisor Nobuhiro Watanabe, so they should all be broadcast soon." ”

"Now even I know that originality is not good, but they still don't give up." Azuki doesn't know how to describe Kawasaki Bookstore, there are examples of previous failures, and they haven't been taught a lesson.

Shangguan Jin said: "Transformers, Slam Dunk and Super Electromagnetic Cannon are all original animations, and they are all successful without exception, I guess these three works gave them thoughts, maybe that Eguchi Taku thinks he has learned something from them." ”

"The most important thing is, of course, to continue to test the waters, although the super electromagnetic cannon has freed Kawasaki Bookstore from its dependence on Shangguan Haruhi, but the script for this work was written by me. Although half of the copyright is owned, it is not strictly their work. ”

Zhang Qiuxi continued: "After getting rid of Shangguan Chunri, the next step must be to get rid of dependence on me, after all, we only cooperate in three parts. After the cooperation is over, our animation personnel have been trained, and it is certain that if they can't support the animation company themselves at that time, it will be a failure. ”

"Get rid of Shangguan Haruhi first, and then get rid of you, the plan is very thorough." Hongdou said angrily: "But why do we have to follow them, they can come to urge when they want to do it, and if they don't want to do it, they can put it aside, and treat us as horses who come and go when they call." ”

"Because the contract only says that they will cooperate on three works, and it is not clear how long it will take to complete it, they will naturally only come as much as they want, which is easy to imagine."

Zhang Qiuxi was very calm and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or later, it looks like we're being led by the nose, but it's not without benefits." At least if they drag one work, we can send one more group of people to study, and Sun Fuqing's side has almost recruited them, so they can train them well and let them take charge of themselves. ”

"I still feel that they are suspicious of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." Azuki shrugged, Kawasaki Bookstore helped cultivate talents, but they themselves couldn't avoid failure, which is what Azuki is most happy to see.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Calmly, signing this contract was originally to take what everyone needs, if it weren't for that, would Kawasaki Bookstore be willing to help us train people?" ”

"It seems to make sense, but I'd love to see these two of them hit the streets again." The red bean seems to have been infected by Ye Qingqing, and it began to like schadenfreude.

"In this way, the animation thing can be put aside for now, and when you need it, Kawasaki Bookstore will take the initiative to contact you." Shangguan Jin suddenly felt that it was understandable that Zhang Qiu had nothing to do, because there was really nothing to do.

"How can there be nothing to do, if you have more time, you can write more manuscripts, which will also make readers feel more enjoyable. And Century Film and Television has already set up a project, and it is about to shoot a TV series. ”

"Detective Di Renjie" is three stories, and now it is just right to be able to put together one, and Century Film and Television is afraid that it can't wait.

"Detective Di Renjie is just going to shoot, the Matrix is about to be released, and I have to go and see it when the time comes." Hongdou continued: "According to reports, because the male protagonist in Xiaoqiu's novel is from the Celestial Empire, Warner Bros. also specially found a Chinese actor to be the male protagonist when filming. ”

Zhang Qiuxi has copied the story, and of course the identity of the actor has to change. The male protagonist of the original work is only one-eighth of the Celestial Empire blood, and she directly and completely wrote the Celestial Empire, if she writes a white man as the male protagonist, she can't accept it herself.

"The Matrix is about to be released, but The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy still doesn't even have a movie." Zhang Qiuxi regretted that all the works she copied so far that could be adapted have been adapted, and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is still dragging on.

"I probably don't think it's easy to start adapting, I think as long as the Matrix is also a big success, it won't be far from seeing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the big screen." Hongdou said: "Speaking of which, Qin Jianghua's first Hollywood work is about to be released, I'm curious about what it will be like." ”

——————

Almost on the front foot, the first part of "The Matrix" was released at the same time as the first Hollywood work starring Qin Jianghua, but Qin Jianghua's movie is only a B-grade film, not only does the investment budget not be much, but even the scale of the release in North America is very small.

Hollywood is the temple of movies, but it is also a cruel place, even if people in the United States and Europe are not easy to mix, no matter how big a name is in China, it is impossible to play the leading role of a big production as soon as he goes, which is understandable.

To go to Hollywood, it is inevitable to repeat the previous road, Qin Jianghua is currently in this process, starting from the bottom, if you succeed, you can get ahead, if you don't succeed, you can only be drowned. Now it seems that Qin Jianghua encountered the latter.

In the North American market, his film can be said to be completely lost, and there are almost no relevant reports except in China, hundreds of theaters are released at the same time, and the box office is only a few million. A few million in dollars may sound like a lot, and it is counted as tens of millions of soft sister coins, but Americans don't have a lot of pain to count them as soft girl coins.

Such a box office is already a failure, and the Celestial Empire market, which is Qin Jianghua's base camp, is also not optimistic, and film critics only give nondescript evaluations, and even the media bluntly said that this was a failed attempt, and Qin Jianghua himself could only accept it gloomily.

The nondescript main thing is that the style of this movie is neither Chinese nor Western, the director can't accept it, and the Americans can't accept it, Qin Jianghua's die-hard fans go into the cinema to support, and after they come out, they can only feel sorry for their idols. It's not disappointment, but regret, because they also know that Qin Jianghua is not easy.

"What do you think?" Hongdou also asked Zhang Qiuxi.

Zhang Qiuxi spread his hands and said: "The biggest highlight of Qin Jianghua's previous movies is himself, but this time his performance is not brilliant at all, probably because he doesn't know how to act." The director of the movie wants to give full play to Qin Jianghua's comedy talent, but he can't grasp the differences between China and the West, the plot is mediocre, and there are even many hard flaws, and failure is inevitable. ”

"B-grade films, they will definitely not be so fine, I feel that Qin Jianghua is also a victim."

Contrary to Qin Jianghua, "The Matrix" can be described as a hot hit, not only popular in China, but also detonated the North American market as soon as it was released, and won the box office championship in the first week of release.

Things such as the matrix, which caused heated discussions when the novel was published, have been brought up again, and audiences in North America have become accustomed to seeing the strange name zhangqiuxi in the subtitles of breathtaking sci-fi blockbusters. For foreigners, this name is indeed quite strange.

It's not just a habit, it's a pleasure to see, and a desire to see more. As for how the movie differs from the original, this is also a topic that fans around the world are happy to discuss, and the most talked-about of them is, of course, bullet time.

Of course, Zhang Qiuxi can't let go of such a classic scene, and when he copied and changed the novel, he described it in a large way in the form of words, which of course is not to describe how to do it technically, but to describe the scene presented, but compared to the text, it is more intuitive to present the picture.

Such a breathtaking scene, of course, the main creators mentioned it when they were doing publicity, and explained in detail how it was done, and of course, Zhang Qiuxi was also indispensable.

From the director to the actors, everyone has an admiring expression and tone when they talk about Zhang Qiuxi, and everyone has read the original book several times in order to make a good movie, which is not just a diplomatic rhetoric for the sake of propaganda, but when interviewed by the American media.
