"Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Sun-Liu coalition army."
"Lang is a very handsome young man, Sun Lang is Sun Handsome, Zhou Lang is Zhou Handsome, handsome guys are all beautiful women, and beautiful women are all handsome guys......"
Zhuge Liang, who is said to be miraculous in the wild history, is actually the most outrageous, for example, the empty city plan, Zhuge Liang opened the four city gates, sent 20 veterans to sweep the floor at the door, Zhuge Liang moved a piano by himself, burned a furnace of incense, and took two children to sit on the city tower and sing karaoke. Sima Yi's army came to take a look, and he didn't know what was going on, and then Sima Yi himself stepped forward and was greatly surprised, saying that what kind of trouble is this going to be made by the old way? The city gates are wide open, and he has a party? So the troops withdrew.
This is illogical, first, I am afraid that there will be an army ambush in the city, can you send a reconnaissance company in to take a look? Second, Sima Yi stepped forward to check the situation, not only could he hear the sound of the piano, but he could also see Zhuge Liang's calm expression, which showed that the distance was very close, didn't Zhuge Liang know that Lu Dao sent a marksman to shoot Sima Yi off the horse? ”
"There are three kinds of images of history, historical images, literary images, and folk images."
"People often say that Cao Cao is treacherous, this is nonsense, soldiers are not tired of cheating, of course it is a conspiracy and trickery when dealing with others, do you have to notify when dealing with others and say, hey, I'm going to beat you, don't you hide?"
……
The whole "Three Kingdoms" is analyzed from three aspects: official history, descriptive literature of the past dynasties, and folk history, supplemented by modern people's thinking concepts and modern popular vocabulary.
Funny, interesting, popular, easy to understand, and knowledgeable, this is the intuitive impression of the psychological side of book fans after reading "Three Kingdoms" for a while.
Compared with "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", the humor of "Three Kingdoms" is not much better. And in terms of historical evidence, it is much better.
Everyone quickly put the question behind them, and said, "Amazing! That's amazing! This "Three Kingdoms" is actually better than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", worthy of Stephen Zhao! ”
"Yes, and have you noticed that there are a lot of historical materials in it, and every question must be analyzed from three aspects. It's up, it's really up! ”
"This is called the three perspectives of historical image, literary image, and folk image."
One after another book fans left the press conference with smiles on their faces.
Speaking of which, "The Three Kingdoms" is a little more difficult to write than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and there are really many places that need to cooperate with this world, so the changes are quite large.
Stephen Zhao was able to completely change "The Three Kingdoms" because there are also various literary books and a large number of folk histories about the history of the Three Kingdoms in this world.
Otherwise, it is impossible to get "Three Kingdoms" out without "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", unless he writes "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" silently.
Two hours later. The signing of "Three Kingdoms" was finally successfully completed, and a total of 800 copies of "Three Kingdoms" were sold out, and many book fans first bought a copy and asked for Stephen Zhao's signature, and then after reading it, they thought it looked good, and returned to buy one or several copies and left.
"It's a good start!" Zhao Xingchi and Yan Minjun, vice president of Silian Publishing House, who came to the scene, looked at each other and smiled.
After that, Stephen Zhao returned to the company and met with three groups of uninvited people.
Stephen Zhao first met with Lei Yijun, the vice president of Lei Brothers, and Lei Yijun's intention. Stephen Zhao knew about it a few years ago, in order to discuss the movie "White Fox".
The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were a big hit. With the sluggish ratings of "Hot Mom", the Rey brothers immediately gave up the Huayi Media artist Zhou Mei, who was originally scheduled to participate in "White Fox", and switched to the arms of Red Star Media, hoping to cooperate with Red Star Media, and then Tang Xinya replaced Zhou Mei's role.
Lei Yijun came this time to implement this matter as soon as possible. Then the film started shooting as early as possible.
The script of "White Fox", Stephen Zhao read it.
To be honest, the plot is as bloody as there is a lot of blood, telling the story of a fox demon who sacrifices his life for love.
Stephen Zhao can understand the plans of the Lei brothers, and the plot of "White Fox" is not important. The important thing is to play the 3D card, and if possible, even IMAX-3D.
In the current film market, in addition to the need for sophisticated and connotative plots for feature films, many movies have only one gimmick, either with a luxurious star lineup as a selling point, or with erotica as a selling point, or with 3D special effects as a selling point. Among these movies full of various gimmicks, films with 3D special effects as a selling point are the most promising gimmicks at the box office.
Many audiences who don't like to go into the cinema to watch movies usually go to the cinema in order to experience the feeling of a special effects blockbuster, and then contribute their own share of the box office.
Judging from the film market in the past one or two years, special effects blockbusters are the most sought after, and the box office results are generally satisfactory.
The Rey brothers have been doing the Chinese New Year film market before, but the movies are generally life dramas, paying attention to the delicacy of the plot and the artistic connotation of life. A few years ago, there were many box office hits of this kind of feature films, the box office of over 100 million was just a small meaning, and there were several box office films of more than 500 million; Only in the past two years has the film market in mainland China been severely impacted by special effects blockbusters, and life dramas have gradually declined.
It is also in view of this that the Rey brothers decided to start the special effects blockbuster plan, and "White Fox" is their first bullet.
When Zhao Xingchi faced the cooperation invitation of Rey Brothers, of course, he immediately agreed. Special effects blockbusters are the trend in cinema, and there is no reason for him to miss the opportunity to try this one.
It's just that Stephen Zhao has his own ideas about the script, so the cooperation plan between the two sides will be put on hold for the time being, and he will talk about it after he finishes revising the script.
As soon as they met, Lei Yijun said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhao, how is the script completed?" ”
"It's done, if you don't come, I'll have to go to the capital to find you." Stephen Zhao smiled and took out the revised script of "White Fox" from the drawer and handed it to Lei Yijun.
Lei Yijun looked happy, took the script and skimmed it casually, and then handed it to a middle-aged man in a gray jacket who came with him.
Zhao Xingchi's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled quietly.
Stephen Zhao knew this middle-aged man, and he had a deal with him a few years ago, and it was Cao Baochuan, the queen screenwriter of Rey Brothers, who wrote the script of "White Fox". (To be continued......)
