Chapter 223: The Problem of Big Fish and Begonias

Liu Chengyin ran upstairs and pushed open the door of her dormitory.

Then I saw an unexpected scene.

Their dormitory was facing north-south, and the entrance was on the north side, and it was the time when the sun was at its strongest, and the room seemed to be dark and hazy at first glance.

And in this haze, the silhouettes of the two people came into Liu Chengyin's eyes.

The two men were close together, less than ten centimeters apart at most, and one of them had his hands around the other's neck, looking intimate.

"Sorry, I went to the wrong room!" Liu Chengyin closed the door, then blinked her eyes quickly, raised her head and looked at the dormitory number, yes, it's my dormitory number.

And there was a figure just now that was very familiar, it was his roommate Wang Xiaoxiao, yes. I didn't see who the other was, but it was also a girl.

Liu Chengyin pushed the door open again, and the movements of the two did not change much, and it was only two seconds since she pushed the door for the first time.

Squinting his eyes for a second, the situation in the dormitory became clear.

A familiar little round face, a beautiful and delicate face was looking at herself, Liu Chengyin was stunned for a moment, that beautiful face looked familiar.

Gu Cancan and Wang Xiaoxiao watched speechlessly as Liu Chengyin opened the door twice, Gu Cancan's hands were clumsy, and she was half-hearted, and the button of the necklace had not been buttoned for a long time.

"Ahem, little orange, what are you doing?" Wang Xiaoxiao somehow, suddenly felt a little weak, and had a strange feeling of being caught and raped in bed.

Liu Chengyin stared at Gu Cancan blankly for a few seconds, the expression on her face suddenly became rich, and the surprise was almost on her face.

"Close the door." Wang Xiaoxiao prompted in time.

Liu Chengyin quickly closed the door, and then said to Gu Cancan with a look of surprise: "Ah, you are Gu Cancan!" ”

"Uh, yes, hello." Gu Cancan replied with a smile, finally buckled the necklace, and naturally let go of his hand.

Liu Chengyin looked at Gu Cancan's movements, only to realize that she was wearing a necklace for Wang Xiaoxiao, and the ambiguous feeling just now was her own illusion.

"Cancan, let me introduce you, this is my roommate and good friend, Liu Cheng......"

"Ahem! Just call me Little Orange. Liu Chengyin hurriedly interrupted Wang Xiaoxiao's words.

Wang Xiaoxiao didn't do it, and said with a smile: "Her name is Liu Chengyin." ”

Liu Chengyin's face collapsed, and she slapped her forehead helplessly and sighed.

Gu Cancan looked at the two of them, remembered something, and looked at Liu Chengyin in front of him, with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, we have known for a long time that Xiaoxiao has a celebrity friend, but this is the first time we have met." Liu Chengyin is a self-cooked character, and said to Gu Cancan in a friendly manner, and at the same time wanted to change the topic.

"Hehe, although it's the first time we've met, I've already heard your name mention it." Gu Cancan said with a smile.

Liu Chengyin said with a bitter face: "Stinky smile, you must have said bad things about me." ”

"No, no, don't talk nonsense. I really didn't tell anyone that your boyfriend's name is Wu Xin. Wang Xiaoxiao defended her reputation and quickly denied it.

“……”

……

After a pleasant noon, Wang Xiaoxiao had classes in the afternoon, and Gu Cancan left Beijing University with a stroll.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, Gu Cancan suddenly found that he happened to come to the office of the other side of the Heavenly Culture.

Some time ago, Bright Times reached a cooperation agreement with Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun on the other side of the sky to jointly develop the IP of "Big Fish" and invest in "Big Fish and Begonia".

In fact, Gu Cancan was also afraid that the other party would make this movie like the original again, but she had been busy with her own affairs before, and she really didn't have time to take care of this side, so she happened to be here today, so she "raided" the other side.

The people who came to the other side of the sky were very surprised, but they still expressed a warm welcome.

Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun were both in the company's office, and the two received Gu Cancan.

With the funds of the bright era, the movie "Big Fish and Begonia" is much smoother than the production in the original time and space, at least Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun no longer have a headache for the time being.

The first investment of Bright Times is not large, but it is enough to complete the pre-planning, script and ten-minute clips of the movie.

This money temporarily solves the worries of the two, allowing them to concentrate on starting production, or rather, allowing the two to start realizing the scene of their dreams.

For Gu Cancan's arrival, Liang Xuan Zhang Chun was very surprised, but he was also very surprised, making animation is really a very money-burning thing, especially the two of them still want to make a good production, more than half of the money invested in the bright era has been spent before, Liang Xuan is considering whether to go to the bright era to discuss whether he can increase the funds, Gu Cancan came.

Maybe Gu Cancan attacked suddenly, but neither of them cared.

Liang Xuan's office is large, with paintings on three walls.

Gu Cancan looked at one of the concept paintings with great interest, this is a strange fish with wings, and its huge body contrasts with the sea, which is extremely spectacular. It is in the form of half fish and half bird, and Gu Cancan feels that the painting is a Kunpeng that is changing its form.

This image does not appear in the movie.

"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, flies angrily, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. Gu Cancan recited a few sentences of Getaway, and then said to Liang Xuan: "The idea of Big Fish also comes from Zhuangzi's "Getaway", right? ”

Liang Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "These are all coincidences. Actually, I didn't know much about traditional Chinese culture, and I didn't know much about Zhuangzi. It all started with two dreams of mine, one of which was that a fish kept getting bigger, and the other was of a group of ancient giant fish following me in a deep trench. The feelings I felt from these two dreams could not be conveyed in words, so I combined these two dreams with the content of the short film to create a worldview. Actually, I just started naming the main characters, Tsubaki and Yu, and I didn't expect them to be from "Getaway". There is also the Kun in the film, which is set to be the soul of a person, and later found out that in a witch ritual of the Guangxi Zhuang people, the soul is called Kun, and I happen to be the Zhuang people. ”

Gu Cancan knows that "Big Fish and Begonia" has a great influence in later generations, although the reputation is mixed, but the worldview of this movie is very grand, which is why she recommends investing in Bright Times.

Gu Cancan had no in-depth communication with Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun before, and now she understands Liang Xuan's thoughts, but in her opinion, the big fish and begonias can't get rid of the shadow of getaway and ancient mythology.

Gu Cancan didn't say much and continued to look at other pictures.

The characters on the pictures are strange, and the style of painting is not very uniform, some are beautiful and some are ugly, which may be an experimental draft of the character setting.

"These are all characters in Big Fish, right?"

Zhang Chun said: "Most of them are set up for big fish and begonias, and there may be some that can be put into the movie." ”

Gu Cancan pondered and said, "I feel that a lot of it is related to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. These characters are set up from ancient books such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, right? ”

"Some supporting characters, monsters, are reference to the appearance of monsters in many ancient books." Zhang Chun explained that Zhang Chun was responsible for the technical aspects such as character setting and picture design.

Liang Xuan said: "Because there are a lot of interesting things in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", such as the buttocks on both sides of the Dijiang River, with four wings and six legs, this character is directly made according to what is written in the book. But there are things that you make that are scary and not so cute. Therefore, there is a process of screening and sorting, we will get inspiration from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", some will completely follow the prototype, and some will do a new creation and supplementation. ”

Gu Cancan nodded, looked at the painting and said, "I feel that to some extent, the style is an imitation of Miyazaki." ”

This is actually a very troublesome problem, and if the movie is released in the future, there will definitely be many people who will attack the movie Big Fish and Begonia from this point.

"There are some similarities in form, or elements, because inspiration may have a common source, for example, Japanese culture and Chinese culture are the same, including Miyazaki, many of his inspirations came from Western fairy tales, and we were actually influenced by Western fairy tales. But the archetypes of the story, including the archetypes of the setting, are entirely derived from Chinese culture. And in terms of art style, it is completely different from Japanese animation, in fact, Miyazaki's picture style is flat, Japanese animation is more art-oriented, but our art requirements are to be like a dream, first of all, its color will be heavier, second, it pays more attention to light and shadow, it will make you feel that you have entered a real situation, rather than appreciating a painting. Liang Xuan did not deny that the style was indeed an imitation of Hayao Miyazaki's animation.

In fact, after the release of "Big Fish and Begonia" in the original time and space, there was indeed a large group of people who criticized that they would only imitate, but Gu Cancan thought for a long time and thought that there was no big problem in imitating Miyazaki's style, Miyazaki was a great master, and many people were imitating his style. At least the core of the big fish and begonia is completely Chinese culture.

"Actually, I think Chinese animation practitioners are very confused, if they want traditional Chinese style, it is impossible not to learn from Japanese comics and Hollywood, many creators are a little dizzy, in fact, practitioners are very young, and it is not in a hurry to create their own style, because it takes a process." Zhang Chun may have been afraid that Gu Cancan would be dissatisfied with a style similar to Miyazaki, so he explained.

"I understand," Gu Cancan said with a smile: "To be honest, if you want to form your own style, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do it, the style is similar to Miyazaki, but it's just similar, I have seen our results now, and it's still a Chinese thing inside, it doesn't matter." ”

"By the way, why begonias?" Gu Cancan asked the question that has always been asked, "Why is the heroine Tsubaki positioned as a begonia instead of other plants?" ”

"Hehe," Liang Xuan took the coffee handed over by the front desk, personally handed Gu Cancan a cup, and then said: "Begonia is the first intuition, because isn't Begonia flower language lovesick and bitter love?" If your relationship is very close, in the end you have to give him freedom and let him fly away, you will definitely miss him, so the big fish is when you are together, and the begonia is when you are not together; The big fish is a boy, and the begonia is a girl; The big fish is the tenacious pursuit of freedom, the more powerful side, and the begonia is the warm side. ”

"Does the heroine Tsubaki really like big fish kun?" This gossip was already available in the original time and space, and today he finally took the opportunity to chat and asked it.

Liang Xuan smiled and said to Gu Cancan: "Actually, everyone is like this, whether they like it or not, sometimes you can't tell why." If rescuing someone brings a lot of negative things, will you still save him? There are a lot of questions you need to choose. So, Tsubaki is a kind person, and she feels that she has to save Kun no matter what. In the face of life and death issues, other things can be put in the back row. If she wants to save Kun, she must have a deep connection with Kun, because after all, Xiaoyu will grow up, and she has to take care of it like a mother and care for it to grow, so she will have deep feelings. But raised, destined to separate. ”

"Well, that makes sense." Gu Cancan nodded, but said with some concern: "I read the synopsis of the story, to be honest, I always feel that the story is still a little problematic." ”

"What's the problem?" Liang Xuan's expression became serious.

"The pattern of the story is not worthy of such a grand big fish worldview."

Of course, Liang Xuan's intention to make the movie is not to express any green tea and spare tire love triangle.

In fact, he wants to show that people can risk not being understood by the world and pursue their dreams at all costs. Like in the movie, in the end, the big fish grows bigger and bigger, covering the sky and the sun, and crossing the gate of the sea and the sky, which also indicates the final realization of the dream.

Tsubaki wants to raise fish, but Tsubaki's mother, Feng and the tribesmen, oppose Tsubaki's fish farming because of certain rules and regulations, and do not hesitate to throw Tsubaki as a fish of life into the sewer.

Isn't this kind of plot the same as the worldly opposition to the pursuit of our dreams when we were young?

Most people give up their dreams for various reasons, go against their original intentions, are forced by all kinds of pressure, are forced to live according to the mainstream values of the world, and don't they kill their own big fish?

Liang Xuan told Gu Cancan about the storyline, and after listening to it, Gu Cancan had mixed feelings in his heart.

In this time and space, Gu Cancan originally thought that with her intervention, the big fish would change, but according to what she understands today, it seems that there is not much change from the original version.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with the theme of the movie.

Life is precious, love is more expensive, love is the eternal theme of the movie, and it is still a masterpiece when it is filmed.

But the original movie didn't even do that well.

It seems that it is really not easy to develop the IP of Big Fish.

It turned out that Gu Cancan did not intend to interfere too much in the production of Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun, but for the quality and reputation of the film, Gu Cancan wanted to make Big Fish into a series, to put it mildly, she wanted to create a Big Fish universe, so the first work must be an instant hit with the fame of Big Fish, and the reputation must be good.

Gu Cancan secretly made a decision in her heart, she decided to participate in the creation of big fish and begonias.
