Fan Zhe was in the private compartment of the teahouse, and he continued to tell Du Zhengde about the content of "Martial Arts Grandmaster: War".

"At that time, we will set the story after the protagonist participates in the battle for the title of 'Grandmaster' and the eternal battle with the 'God Slasher' road."

"This part of the content is in the main drama, and when the time comes, we will cut a little bit of it and put it at the beginning of the film as a synopsis - of course, this will definitely have to be made again to make sure that it can match the movie itself."

"After the protagonist Lou Cheng finished the 'Grandmaster' title battle, he received a message that Lin Quan, who was almost one of his best friends and his girlfriend's cousin, had disappeared in the war-torn area."

"Missing in a war-torn area can most likely be equated with 'death', but the protagonist has become a master of foreign gang, and the artist is bold, so he decided to find someone."

"The so-called war-torn area, in the setting, is a collective term for many countries. East to the ocean, north to the south of China, west and Nile across the strait, the south is close to the polar region, there are dozens of countries, where the regime is unstable, after today, there may not be tomorrow, the chaos initially because of regional hegemony and resource grabbing, the strong and strong are tired, naturally will look for a peaceful solution, unfortunately, by the United States, by Europe, by the East, by the major forces to interfere, a chaos is decades. ”

"Lin Que is tracking down an international human trafficking group rooted in the war-torn area of 'Tallinn', knocking them out many times and causing great losses to the other party. But it was precisely because of this that he disappeared. ”

In fact, this human trafficking group is also doing some human modification experiments, and they use special technology to transform warriors into a state similar to artificial humans and robots, and completely control them. After Lin Que was arrested, he was preparing to transform. ”

"The protagonist came to 'Tallinn', began to investigate Lin Que's whereabouts from various clues, and traced it all the way to the past, and with Lin Que's grandparents, two top powerhouses of the older generation, found the enemy's headquarters, met many android masters, and overturned this evil group that was transforming people."

……

"That's about the plot."

After listening to Fan Zhe's introduction, Du Zhengde frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "The setting of the war-torn area is more interesting, and you can lean on a certain patriotic feeling...... It's just that, listening to what you said, including what I saw in the script, I always felt that the plot was a bit too simple. ”

"Yes." "However, it was only after our research that we decided to choose such a story. One of the most important reasons for this is that it's simple. ”

"To make commercial films and action films, we still try to pursue simple and bright stories, exciting and refreshing action fights, plus our strong technical strength to do special effects. Here, the plot needs a story that is clear and smooth enough, without doing too many strange things, and not too complicated stories, which is not good. ”

"I agree with you." It's not that Du Zhengde doesn't understand this, in various Hollywood blockbusters in the West, there are various cases of success and failure. For a movie like this, which is based on action fights and visual effects, the complexity of the story is not a good thing, on the contrary, it is likely to be a factor that drags down the quality of the film.

However, Du Zhengde obviously has some other opinions: "The plot is smooth and clear, which is inevitable, but the current script, I think it's a bit too thin." From the emotional point of view of the characters, from the beginning and end of the story, this is all the case. ”

"There's not much space written in this part of the original book." Fan Zhe said.

"It's okay." Du Zhengde said, "When we make film adaptations, it is good to follow the original book in some places, but in some places, it is inevitable to make some adaptations. ”

"We need to be cautious in this regard." Fan Zhe said, "We believe that it is important for film adaptations to follow the original work on the premise of having an excellent original work. ”

"Well, don't worry, I know this. I won't change the big story line, but some of the ups and downs and the emotions of the characters, I will have a little more polish, and then watch the rhythm of the film and add a few more battles to it. Including the plot with the 'old friend' Vega mentioned in the script, you can expand it a little. ”

Fan Zhe thought for a moment and said: "Okay, the script adaptation was written by one of our screenwriters, a screenwriter named Li Qingzhao, you should still have an impression of this girl, right?" ”

"Yes, wasn't she also the script adaptation of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" written by her?"

"Yes, you should communicate more when the time comes, but in the final script, I will definitely have to review it again."

"No problem, you're satisfied."

After solving the script problem, Fan Zhe talked about the style of the film again: "Lao Du, we haven't cooperated once or twice, the style of this film, I hope to be able to make it a little tougher." ”

"When I was filming the TV series "Martial Arts Grandmaster" at that time, the entire action design was also going this way, but mainly because there were a lot of youth campus dramas, and the main battle was still in the ring, so it was not implemented very thoroughly. But in this film, the whole of Beijing is in the so-called 'war-torn area', and we can make the film more realistic, more ferocious, and more hard-lined. ”

While talking, Fan Zhe also took out a tablet, called up some pictures, and put them in front of Du Zhengde.

Here are some concept design drawings, all of which were drawn by Fan Zhe himself.

Du Zhengde has watched the TV series "Martial Arts Master", so he can clearly realize that the style of these conceptual design drawings seen now is somewhat different from the TV series.

When he was thinking about the style of the film, Fan Zhe continued: "Also, I have a request, which is very important and important. ”

"You say."

Fan Zhedao: "It is true that "Martial Arts Master: War" is a movie derived from a TV series, but our target audience is not limited to TV series viewers or readers. If we want to achieve better results, it's not enough for us to just please fans of the original book. Keep in mind that this is a film, a complete, stand-alone work. ”

After a pause, he continued: "In other words, what we want to do is not a fan carnival, but a commercial film, and we have to consider the feelings and experiences of all moviegoers. It must be ensured that even a person who does not know anything about the story of "The Grandmaster of Martial Arts" will not be unable to understand anywhere when watching this movie. ”

"I understand, that's my goal, too."
