Chapter 1376 18 Knight Battle Duke
Jon Landau's proposal to shoot a Romance of the Three Kingdoms movie was something that Boss Jia didn't expect at all.
This matter was not in the previous life, and this generation of Boss Jia did not take the initiative to do it, but Jon Landau, a foreigner, took the initiative to do it, and it is precisely because of this that this has a very different meaning for Boss Jia.
Because this time, it was Jon Landau who took the initiative to discover the treasure of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and then offered to shoot the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which means something completely different.
This shows that Chinese culture has a different speed of transmission around the world.
Some people may think that Boss Jia is self-inflicted, Jon Landau watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms because of the influence of Boss Jia, and Boss Jia, as a Chinese, will definitely support the filming of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so Jon Landau will bring up this matter, if you change the boss, this kind of thing will never be possible, so this is not Jon Landau taking the initiative, just to please Boss Jia.
There is nothing wrong with saying that, but Jon Landau did do something that he had never done in his previous life, and Boss Jia himself is an outlier in this world, so all of this is essentially the same, which makes Boss Jia feel a trace of pleasure in his heart.
To be reasonable, after the assets have broken through the threshold of hundreds of millions of dollars, the pleasure that money can bring is actually not much for Boss Jia, after all, the life and enjoyment of one billion dollars and one hundred million dollars are actually similar.
Boss Jia began to have pursuits other than money, such as how to operate and develop a country, a civilization, and a nation, which has begun to gradually replace the pleasure brought by money for Boss Jia.
And being able to watch the gradual rise and influence of Chinese culture in the world is also an extremely pleasant thing for Boss Jia.
"How are you going to shoot" Of course, it is impossible for Boss Jia to refuse Jon Landau's suggestion, in fact, even if Jon Landau doesn't say it, in a few years, Boss Jia will put the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the big screen.
But this kind of initiative proposed by the people of the United States and proposed by Boss Jia is naturally fundamentally different.
However, Boss Jia is still a little worried, that is, how foreigners will deal with and shoot the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, on the other hand, in the world, foreigners have not had cases of putting traditional Chinese masterpieces on the big screen, the most famous of which is Mulan, but the final result is self-evident.
Although it claims to restore makeup and history, it is actually a pile of shit.
So Boss Jia also has to see what Jon Landau's plan is.
"I'm going to shoot it in a total of 3 parts!" Jon Landau spoke, and this first sentence made Boss Jia nod.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is such a huge story system, how can such a story be filmed with just one movie.
After all, stories like Lord of the Rings, which are actually very weak in comparison, have also been filmed in six parts, and Star Wars, a story that can actually be told in an hour, has also been filmed in nine parts.
Not to mention filming 3 parts of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even if you shoot 6 or 9 films, it will be enough.
Just a chibi can make a big movie.
But like John Woo in later generations, it is a bit too much to make Chibi into two movies, and Chibi's script adaptation is really indescribable, it is a complete nightmare.
Put a big war that has never been seen before in history, and the only memory left is Meng Meng, and there is no one left.
"Be specific!" Boss Jia said.
"I plan to start with the part of the 18 Han knights crusading against the Duke of Xiliang!" Jon Landau said.
"18 Han knights crusade against the Duke of Xiliang?" Jon Landau's words made Boss Jia's expression very strange, and if he said it casually to a Chinese person, it was a big joke.
However, this is the easiest to understand for Westerners, after all, Westerners do not understand the political system of the Han Dynasty, and Jon Landau read the translated version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
And this translation version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that can be found in the West is all translated by foreigners who like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms themselves, and these translators use a lot of Western culture to replace it in order to reduce the difficulty of translation and make it easier for foreign readers to understand the meaning.
For example, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road were discussing Dong Zhuo, they translated these 18 princes into 18 knights, and because Dong Zhuo was made a duke by the imperial court, he was translated as a duke.
In the eyes of Westerners, there is nothing wrong with this translation, because in the West, knights actually have their own territory, which is equivalent to the smallest level of nobles, and most of the 18 princes in history actually only have official positions, and do not have titles, and they are not even nobles.
But the problem is that in the eyes of the Chinese people, there is something wrong with such a translation, the 18 knights crusade against the Duke of Xiliang, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a boss battle of 18 people fighting the duke, or the 18 knights mowing the grass, which will make people very speechless.
Thinking of this, Boss Jia couldn't help but have the idea of translating the four famous works again and then promoting them to the world, the current translation is really too fucked.
"Why don't you start filming with the Yellow Turban Rebellion?!" Boss Jia thought about a lot of things in his head, but he didn't stop Jon Landau's words, after all, it wasn't Jon Landau's fault, but he asked rhetorically.
"Because there's nothing to shoot in this episode!" Jon Landau touched his head and said, "These plots are relatively dry, and they are too separated from the later plots, I don't think it's a good idea to shoot them, shoot them directly from the Eighteen Knights and Dukes, the war scenes will be grand, and they can directly enter the climax stage, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion only needs to be roughly described in the first few minutes!" Jon Landau.
In fact, Jon Landau's words are not unreasonable, in the eyes of many professionals, the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms is actually a part that is not worth filming.
For example, the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was filmed, there was only one episode in total, and most of it was focused on the Taoyuan Rebellion, the war scenes of the Yellow Turban were all flashed, and Zhang Jiao and others only showed up and posed for a P0SS, which is similar to the process plot.
As for Gao Xixi's later version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he didn't even bother to shoot it, and directly asked the princes of the Eighteenth Route to ask Dong Zhuo at the beginning, which is exactly the same as Jon Landau's thinking.
Therefore, there is actually no problem with Jon Landau's idea, but our boss Jia shook his head and said, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion must be filmed, and it must be filmed with great strength, and even made into the best movie in the entire series!" ”
