Chapter 390: Luc Besson personally adapted the Resident Evil game

The umbrella company has built an eighteen-story super-large underground building in Raccoon City-Beehive, as its secret base, the original intention of research and development is to cultivate a T virus that can improve human body functions, anti-aging, and enhance the activity of nerve cells, but the company slowly found that it is also a very good choice to use it in biochemical weapons and transform soldiers, so it secretly cultivates alien embryos.

The 18-storey hive has only one exit, which is covered by a guardian castle on the ground and controlled by a gate, with a 4-kilometer-long descending track that connects to the lowest entrance.

The Hive's real room is controlled by the high-tech intelligent computer Flame Queen, who has 500 cameras throughout the building, and the Flame Queen has all the movements of the researchers in the real room, and has strict procedures to operate all the electronic devices autonomously in case of emergency.

One day, due to deliberate manipulation, the test tube of the T virus ruptured, and the virus entered the entire underground building through the vent of the guò real yàn room, and the Queen of Flames captured this scene with a camera, triggering an alarm system to forcibly close all entrances and exits and elevators, killing all infected researchers.

The heroine, Alice, is an exit guardian and a senior security executive at an umbrella company, but her true identity is another mystery, and she inhales nerve gas after the alarm is triggered and falls unconscious.

The alarm system also alarmed the headquarters of the Umbrella Company, and the Black Hawk Task Force sent seven people to investigate the truth, and prepared to destroy the underground passages, destroy the Flame Queen, and bring Alice and Matt into the underground building as they passed through the Guardian Castle.

Next, there is the main location of the story, where the Black Hawk task force takes Alice and others. Carefully explore the Hive Building and destroy the parameters set by the Flame Queen. Four people died in the laser tunnel, and the Flame Queen was turned off and all the biochemical cultured animals were released. Open all the passages only to encounter hundreds of humans who have died and turned into zombies, and everyone fights the powerful licker zombies.

War and flight are essential themes, and in the end only Alice and Matt escape, but they are greeted by the Umbrella Company's scientific team, who captures them and takes them to the Raccoon City Research Institute.

When the scientific team restarted the hive, they were horrified to find that they were faced by a swarm of zombies.

The ending of the film is intriguing, Alice, who is considered to be a scientific human body, wakes up and struggles to escape from the real room. Walk past the empty building and onto the street outside.

But the desolate streets, crashing into burning vehicles, and the messy environment make Alice, who is armed with a shotgun feel creepy - Raccoon City has been attacked by zombies!

This is the entire plot of the movie version of "Resident Evil 1", and it has basically no connection with the game "Resident Evil 1" except for the public umbrella company and the T virus.

The storyline of the script was agreed upon by 20th Century Fox, who were keenly aware of the potential of the script for commercial films, and while they didn't know what the game was about. They have great hopes for the movie.

Yang Yun was greeted by Xiao Liangyu, and was accompanied by George Wiley, an assistant director sent by 20th Century Fox, whose name Yang Yun had never heard of, but who participated in the auxiliary filming of "The Expendables 1". It's your own people.

"Mr. Yang, this European selection is sponsored by the French Screen Actors Guild, and there are a total of 20 actors who have passed the preliminary selection. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. George stuttered. He's just an assistant director now, and who doesn't want to work hard to get to the top?

Yang Yun also has jet lag. After a long day's rest, the next day, accompanied by Georges, he auditioned for actors at the Longton branch in Paris.

For "Resident Evil 1", the situation is different from any previous film that Longteng has invested in.

"Cadillac and Dinosaurs" is a game adaptation, "The Expendables 2" is a close combination of games and movies, and "Tomb Raider" has the shadow of "Zodiac".

The storyline of "Resident Evil 1" is completely different from the game, and the time difference between 2002 and 1995 made the high-tech in the movie very difficult to handle.

For example, the detailed movements of the evolution of the licker, the expression of the mutant dog, etc., with the current level of the 3D special effects team, it will definitely not reach the level of 2002.

And the scene of the streets of Raccoon City in the last scene, the original version is to arrange the scene on a real street, and gradually zoom out the vista to show the tragedy of the entire Raccoon City being attacked by zombies.

Yang Yun's initial idea was to shoot this scene in China, which was the only location and all other shots could be done in the studio, so his plan for Resident Evil Raccoon Town, similar to the Hengdian Film and Television Base, would be better to invest in China together!

"Do you have the right person for the director?" Yang Yun asked.

George's face flushed, and he said a little nervously: "It's up to you to decide, if you really can't find someone, we 20th Century Fox also have a recommended candidate." ”

Yang Yun noticed his expression, where did he still not understand what he meant?

It's just that he is responsible for his own film, and laughed: "Go ask Luc Besson, I especially like his movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", so that Renault has already played the role of a spy in "The Expendables 2", I think Luc Besson should also be interested." ”

George is a little lost, with this kind of super director standing in front, of course, there is no role for him.

But on second thought, which director didn't start with miscellaneous field work? It wouldn't be a bad thing for him if he could learn from Luc Besson.

Yang Yun came to Europe, many big directors are a little apprehensive, Luc Besson, who just finished filming "This Killer is Not Too Cold" last year, is one of them, he used the excuse that he needed half a year of vacation after filming the movie, and turned down a few film contracts, just waiting for the olive branch extended by Longteng Company.

Similarly, British director Paul Anderson is also actively inquiring about the news, entrusting his friends in Hollywood to show goodwill to 20th Century Fox and offer to direct "Resident Evil".

Italian director Pirno Singer, who has filmed "Zombie Graveyard" and "Horror Train", is also eager to try. Although there is still a gap between them and the directors of Hollywood sci-fi horror movies, Longteng's first stop is Europe. No one knows what this means, maybe Longteng is really ready to devolve power to the Europeans?

In the end, Luc Besson was the only one who waited for the news. He was on vacation on the south coast of France, and after answering the phone, he rushed to Paris without saying a word to meet Yang Yun.

"Hello Great Director! Are you interested in directing a Resident Evil movie? ”

"More than willingly!"

Two sentences decided the power of the film, George, Xiao Liangyu, these bystanders who saw Luc Besson meet with Yang Yun with their own eyes, and only said two sentences in English and made a decision, had nothing to say.

For Yang Yun, Luc Besson is the signature. There is no need for any interview at all, and he will definitely do this well.

After reading the script, Luc Besson expressed great interest, but he still had to revise this unqualified plan to complete the roles of producer and screenwriter.

"No problem, you can change it, but I want to keep a few scenes. First, the laser defense channel should be preserved. And to be designed to be horrific but not bloody. ”

Yang Yun's favorite scene in the movie is the laser channel, the first laser is a straight line with a fixed trajectory, cutting off the palm of a male team member and the head of another female team member.

The second laser appears to have a fixed trajectory. However, it can rise on its own as the Operator jumps and dodges, directly severing the person's body in an unexpected way.

The third laser is the most perverted, and no one knows its trajectory. At a moment when everyone was nervous, it suddenly turned into a mesh that covered the entire channel. Generate a certain death plot and directly kill everyone in the passage.

There are no bloody scenes of blood bursting out of the human tissues that have been cut off by the laser in the movie. This is also in line with Yang Yun's requirements, scary but not bloody, so that at least a better movie rating can be obtained.

Luc Besson asked, "Can you get Alice or Matt to join in?" At the most critical moment, the laser channel is suspended by teammates outside, and the protagonist escapes? ”

“……”

Yang Yun's first reaction was, isn't this a scene in the novel "Infinite Terror"?

The protagonist Zheng Zhe enters the world of the "Resident Evil 1" movie, because everyone in the reincarnation team is familiar with this plot and knows that the laser passage is a mortal scene, so no one wants to enter the passage with the task force.

It's a pity that Zheng Zhe was unlucky, and was named by the captain with a gun, and at the last moment of death, he miraculously escaped, and completed the B-level hidden mission, and suddenly became rich and handsome from the sling, and obtained a large number of reward points.

"You design, Alice is the protagonist of the movie, she is actually the shadow of Jill in the game, and "Resident Evil 2" is also played by her. So, if you think there's more pleasure in letting Alice survive, I'm going to approve of it! ”

Yang Yun still decided to believe Luc Besson once, and at the same time silently said sorry to Z in his heart......

"In the second act, I hope to keep the evolution of the licker after eating people, as well as the escape scene of killing the licker at the end of the movie, which requires the special effects of the movie, I can give it to 20th Century Fox, of course, I can also give it to other special effects teams, do you have any good recommendations?"

Luc Besson thought for a moment and smiled mysteriously: "After the interview is completed, I will introduce you to a special effects studio, which is guaranteed to satisfy you!" ”

Yang Yun nodded, he needs this technology very much now, movie special effects and game CG production are technically the same, he can't always expect Square Enix to do this and that for him, it is better to acquire or set up a special effects company to serve himself, and it will be more convenient to develop games and movies like Star Wars or Avatar in the future!

After thinking about it, the classic shots in the original movie are almost all proposed, shooting zombies is a small scene, oh yes, the heroine in the original version is exposed when she is naked on the side, and the whole process is shot in vacuum pajamas, and the bumps can be clearly seen in the water, but this kind of thing, people of Yang Yun's identity will talk nonsense casually?

"Finally! Let me make a cameo appearance as a zombie! Yang Yun laughed.

Luc Besson also laughed: "As you wish!" (To be continued......)
