Chapter 305: Demacia
The idea for the first League of Legends movie from Penguin was to be set in the context of Freljord, and the main character of the story was the 'Ice Shooter. Ash'.
Fan Zhe was not surprised by this.
Ash can be regarded as a more famous hero under the IP of "League of Legends". She was launched early, and can even be considered one of the first heroes in the league. In addition, things like her backstory and setting are also the fullest of many heroes.
Moreover, the character of Ash, from left to right, is indeed more suitable for a movie adaptation. When 'Fist' set it for her, it felt like a template for the protagonist directly.
Growing up in one of the largest clans on the Freljord Ice Field, her mother was the leader of the clan, and she was a princess herself. He experienced hardships when he was young, but eventually fused with the ancestral power contained in his bloodline, took up the longbow made by Zhen Bing, and grew into the war mother and leader of Avarosa, the largest tribe in the Northlands.
The idea of the people is also very great, in the icy world of Freljord, they want to establish an ideal country, calm the disputes between many tribes, and strive to establish a unified country. Every day they shout 'We are one nation,' 'Freljaud will be united again,' and 'Don't be kind,' ......
For such a role, it is indeed more suitable to do a movie adaptation.
But this is not quite in line with Fan Zhe's previous assumptions.
In fact, when Ye Jiayi began to contact Penguin and Fist about the film and television copyright of "League of Legends", Fan Zhe was already thinking about this series of movies.
But the first hero he wants to be is really not Ash.
This is to consider the story setting of the film itself.
'Ice Shooter. Ash's story, which takes place in Freljord, is a world of ice and snow. The structure of society is also more primitive and tribal.
This kind of theme, as the beginning of the first part, Fan Zhe doesn't think it's very suitable. The backworld is not conducive to maximizing the appeal of the audience, nor is it conducive to the development of stories in other contexts.
On the contrary, Fan Zhe himself prefers to do the story in the background of 'Demacia', and the protagonists use characters such as Galen, Jiawen IV, and Zhao Xin.
Under the IP of the game "League of Legends", the three heroes mentioned above are not bad in their own right. What's more, the so-called 'Demacia' is the most famous force in the LOL world, and it is also the most widely known.
From here, it should be a relatively good choice to start expanding the entire alliance universe.
In fact, now even the outline of the script, Fan Zhe has a rough draft in his heart.
He wrote his thoughts in an email and sent them to the penguins.
"Ice Shooter. Ash, and the story of Freljord, I don't think it's a good fit for us to be the first to unfold the Alliance universe. Of course, we will definitely develop these stories on the ice fields in the future, but for the first part, it is better for us to do the concept of 'Demacia'. ”
He first pressed down on the development of the Ice Shooter, and then wrote down some of his ideas a little.
"In my vision, I wanted the first work to be set against the backdrop of the war between Demacia and Noxus. From Galen. The growth of the crown guard and Jiawen IV is the main line, and the story of the first part is made. ”
"The film will be about war, about brotherhood, about growing up and about heroes."
"Of course, the most indispensable thing is the great visuals."
……
This is about a telling situation.
According to the agreement, the project production of the film and the specific content are all decided by Wedo Entertainment. Penguin has the right to suggest, but if you are not optimistic, you can not invest, but what to do, Wedo Entertainment has the final say.
This was the strong request of Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi at that time, and the penguin agreed.
So, at this time, Fan Zhe used their power very smoothly.
The penguins were a little skeptical.
Zhang Yanping replied to Fan Zhe's email, writing: "I can probably agree with your opinion that 'Demacia' is more suitable for the first shot, which we have considered in the past, but ...... the background of 'Freljord' is different from 'Demacia' after all, if the movie with Ash as the protagonist is not satisfactory, we can also open the 'Demacia' which is a broader and more representative background, and make another one to save the fate of the entire series." ”
After reading it, Fan Zhe smiled and replied: "We haven't considered the situation of failure. ”
Zhang Yanping was a little speechless when he saw this news.
Unconsciously, he remembered the last sentence left by Ye Jiayi when he was negotiating in Shencheng before: "This is what Dimension Entertainment has paid, and it is irreplaceable." ”
The expectations and feelings are exactly the same.
……
On the other hand, after Fan Zhe sent the email, he began to gather the screenwriter and design team.
Prior to this, Fan Zhe did not have League of Legends in the company's next project planning - after all, although he had already been in contact with Penguins in this regard at that time, he had not yet talked about it yet, and Fan Zhe naturally would not do this in the company's project planning.
But now it's different.
The project of "League of Legends" is very important, and at the same time, the agreement signed between Wedo Entertainment and Penguin also clearly stipulates that the first film work must be completed within two years.
Making a movie in two years is not a particularly tight time, but it is definitely not particularly relaxed.
You must know that Wedo Entertainment has no accumulation of the "League of Legends" project at all, from the script to the design, everything has to start from scratch.
The art aspect is where Dimension Entertainment is strongest. In addition to being the producer, Fan Zhe himself will also be the chief designer of the entire project.
A large number of artists were drawn from various project teams and began to work on a lot of content design.
On the 'Fist' side, there are actually a lot of conceptual designs about League of Legends.
But there are two problems with those designs, the first is that the amount is too small. After all, "League of Legends" is a MOBA game, and the concept of world view is actually useless for the game itself, just something that comes with it after the game becomes popular.
In addition, in addition to the small quantity, the quality is ...... Not quite really.
At least, in Fan Zhe's eyes, the current conceptual design of the 'fist' is just like that.

I'll be honest.,Although I'm a veteran LOL player.,Iron fan.,But their art level.,Except for some outsourced illustrations.,It's really not like that......
