Chapter 48: Journey to the West (Second Update)

"In the case of narrative films, the artistry itself can be divided into two aspects. On the one hand, it is the visual impact of the movie itself, and on the other hand, the impact of the story! ”

"And the story, compared to the "Historical Records", I prefer to trace back to the Tang legend. Since the Tang legend, the story of the Chinese has taken on a brilliant color. Then there is the script, the chapter back novel. These stories, which have been passed down to this day, do not depend on any one family or one faction. All it relies on is the artistry of the story itself and the love of ordinary people! Therefore, what Yu is pursuing is not criticism, not the doctrine of a certain school, but the rules of everyone's true love for this story! ”

"If you have to make a summary of your literary and artistic concepts, then I tell you - I want to make this day no longer cover my eyes! If you want this land, you can't bury my heart anymore! I want all living beings to understand what I mean! If you want the gods and Buddhas in the sky, they will all disappear! ”

This sentence was originally a sentence in "The Legend of Wukong" in the later generations, and how many people in later generations watched "The Legend of Wukong" when they saw this sentence, they felt their hearts shake and feel radiant! Although this is arrogant, it is also a proof of people's self-knowledge and self-reliance.

The crowd watching the movie in the audience is either from a deep background and well-educated, or they are fighting hard with their bare hands. Learning is the same way, and when I heard the words of the rest of my life, I couldn't help but change my vision.

When looking at the rest of his life, he no longer regards this young man as an ordinary star and a young aspirant with some talents. At such an age, with such ambitions, with such a heart and courage, and with such a grandmaster's bearing, it is amazing!

Then, applause rang out, and these two comments and the rest of his life's self-defense had many twists, which were much more exciting than the movie.

*****************

Zhang Shankun also applauded with everyone, although there are many good things, but today's result still makes him feel satisfied, and the box office success of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" can be expected. At the same time, Zhang Shankun did not forget what Yu Sheng just said, as soon as the premiere ended, the four Wan brothers and Yu Sheng were invited to Xinhua Company.

In other words, although he earned the movie "The Great Wall Will Never Fall". But the next movie for the rest of my life hasn't been signed in yet. As the saying goes, eating in the bowl, looking at the pot, and thinking about the field. This vote has been earned, and Zhang Shankun's businessman's nature has attacked, and he has already begun to think about the next vote.

The four Wan brothers were a little scared, although they were negotiating a contract with Zhang Shankun. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of talk is just trying to raise their own value. Zhang Shankun's Xinhua Company originally occupied half of the film industry on the isolated island of the Shanghai Tang Concession, and after the rest of his life was made, the remaining half of the country was almost Zhang Shankun's.

If the four Wan brothers don't sign a contract with Zhang Shankun's Xinhua Company, other small companies may not even be able to afford to invest in a cartoon. Not to mention the realization of the grand ambition of the four Wan brothers.

Of course, although he is nominally negotiating a contract with Zhang Shankun, it is the rest of his life that really knows how to know cartoons. Therefore, Zhang Shankun only has to listen. He also told Yu Sheng that as long as Yu Sheng decided to shoot, then he would immediately sign a contract with the four Wan brothers, even if the pay was a little higher.

Yu Sheng was very polite to his idols in later generations, and said to Wan Laiming: "I have seen Mr. Wan's "Big Trouble Studio", which is really a very groundbreaking work. After Disney filmed "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", Yu and Boss Zhang are also interested in making a set of cartoons, I wonder if Mr. Wan is willing to cooperate with Yu? ”

The four Wan brothers glanced at each other, a little hesitant. After all, if someone intervenes in the middle of the way, it will probably hinder their plans greatly. However, compared to the rest of their lives, they are just small footsteps in the Shanghai Tang film industry. The addition of the rest of my life is still very beneficial for the smooth production of the cartoon.

Wan Laiming still asked: "I don't know what theme Mr. Yu wants to shoot?" ”

Yu Sheng smiled mysteriously: "Journey to the West!" ”

The four Wan brothers were overjoyed, and their plans for the rest of their lives coincided with theirs. Where would the four of them think that this was an operational mistake by the Time and Space Administration, and they all felt that it was very fateful.

Wan Laiming said to Yu Sheng: "Mr. Yu coincides with our plan!" The original plan of our four brothers was to make the stories in "Journey to the West" into cartoons one by one. However, now we have only written the script of "Iron Fan Princess", and the investment in making cartoons is huge, I am afraid that we can only shoot "Iron Fan Princess" first, and after earning enough money, we will consider other works! ”

"Mr. Wan, although our shooting themes are the same, Yu's shooting plan is not the same as Mr. Wan's. My plan is to shoot from the beginning of the story of "Journey to the West". The first cartoon, I plan to shoot "Havoc in Heaven"! ”

Wan Laiming showed a look of embarrassment: "We have also thought about Mr. Yu's thoughts, but if we want to shoot the story of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", then we must start from the birth of the Monkey King!" Including the apprenticeship after the birth of the Monkey King, the havoc in the Dragon Palace, the write-off of life and death and the peach will and many other plots. There are a lot of scene changes, the animation time is extended, and the production cost of the original animation will also rise on a large scale! ”

"So, a few of our brothers discussed, and first picked out a "Iron Fan Princess" with relatively few scene changes and a wonderful story for filming! Besides, a few of our brothers already have a complete idea of "Iron Fan Princess"! With a complete character image, even a part of the original painting was made. ”

The rest of my life sighed, no wonder the later generations of "Havoc in Heaven" are so wonderful and mature, it turns out that more than 20 years ago when the production began, the Wan brothers had already begun to conceive!

"Mr. Wan, since the original paintings have been made, can you show Yu?"

Zhang Shankun also smiled: "Although I signed a contract with a few people this time, it is not me who speaks, but Mr. Yu!" You might as well show your design to Mr. Yu, maybe Mr. Yu will make a decision! ”

The Wan brothers muttered for a long time, feeling that the business credit of the rest of their lives and Zhang Shankun in Shanghai was not bad, and it was worth their risk. Wan Laiming took out a small notebook from his briefcase and handed it to Yu Sheng.

The book is full of cartoon images drawn by the four Wan brothers for many characters in "Journey to the West", some of which are familiar for the rest of their lives, and some of which have not appeared in later generations. Yu Sheng looked at the familiar image of Sun Wukong, remembered his childhood in later generations, and sighed.
