Chapter 307: Zhao Xin, Lux
Yuan Zhenshan's script is roughly written in the context of Riot's setting, but it is filled with a lot of things.
It's a given.
Regarding this plot, the original setting of 'Fist' may add up to less than 3,000 words. With that little bit of stuff, there's nothing that can afford a nearly two-hour movie, with a lot of detail, a lot of characters, a lot of branching stories, that need to be recreated and filled in.
In addition to the content filled in the skeleton, there are also some changes to the original setting of 'Fist'.
Among them, one of the more important places is the fact that the prince was almost executed by Urgart.
This is a plot that was mentioned in an official setting a long time ago, but in the new version of the setting, it seems to have been deleted.
In the old version, Urgart was about to execute the prince, but was raided by Galen and killed. After his death, his body was brought back to Noxus, where he was ordered to be stitched up by the lord of Noxus, and then resurrected through witchcraft, and later became the hero 'Crab', which players are more familiar with.
However, this is not the case in the new version.
In the current official setting of 'Fist', Urgart is indeed a Noxus executioner, but there is no mention of this story with the prince. The new version of Urgart, when he was sent to an evil city called Zaun, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Noxus, and the general Svein overthrew the previous ruler and came to power, and then Urgart was on the purge list and was betrayed to the alchemists of Zaun. After being tortured in Zaun, Urgat was transformed into a terrifying monster.
The script written by Yuan Zhenshan is based on the older version of the plot. In this regard, Fan Zhe thinks it's nothing, it's actually better to use a hero in the original setting as a villain than to redesign a villain. And later resurrect Urgarte and turn it into a real killing machine, the 'Dreadnought. 'Ergart', can he be pulled out again to be a villain - or a protagonist?
Let's see how it is set up when the time comes.
Looking at the current project, Fan Zhe is relatively satisfied with the synopsis of the script submitted by Yuan Zhenshan, but he still put forward some of his own opinions.
"The role of the main general, I don't think you are the hero in LOL itself."
"The setting of the fist is not ......"
"You can make some changes." Fan Zhe continued, "Changed to 'Debang Governor. Zhao Xin', this hero is also a popular hero in LOL, and it is more easterly, which will help our achievements in the domestic market. β
"But...... Is it appropriate? According to the plot, Zhao Xin was rescued from the gladiatorial arena of Noxus by Jiawen II, and then served as the king's personal bodyguard until Jiawen III...... According to the setting, he is not considered a general, is he? β
ββ¦β¦ Don't be so rigid, it's pointless. Fan Zhe rolled his eyes and continued: "From the content itself, by extension, Zhao Xin's loyalty to Demacia is beyond doubt; He is a veteran of two dynasties, and there is a high probability that he will become a veteran of three dynasties, and his qualifications are no problem; His ability is no problem, he has broken numerous records in the gladiatorial arena of Noxus, and he is a warrior with outstanding achievements. What happened to such a person, giving him the status of the general of the guards of Demacia? β
"That's right......," Yuan Zhenshan scratched his head.
"In addition...... Fan Zhe continued, "we really need to fill this movie with as many heroes as possible from the original game. On the one hand, it can enhance the appeal of the movie, and on the other hand, according to the contract we signed with Penguin, the more main heroes in the movie, the better. β
According to the agreement between the two parties, as long as the heroic characters in the movie exceed a certain percentage, they will enter the copyright sharing pool of both parties.
Yuan Zhenshan took out a pen and paper, nodded his head, and wrote down the opinions that Fan Zhe said.
Fan Zhe continued: "I don't think there is much problem with the synopsis of the story submitted so far, but it lacks an emotional line. For a commercial film, proper emotional line polishing is necessary. We needed to give the audience something to soothe the emotions beyond the adrenaline-pumping battles, fast-paced story, and exciting visuals. Emotional drama is meant to fill in this part, and I think you need to think about it. β
Yuan Zhenshan thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it." β
"For the role of this emotional drama, I have an idea - use Lux."
'Radiant Girl. 'Lux', whose real name is Laxana. The Crownguard, she is Galen's sister and a member of Demacia's most loyal Crownguard family.
But Demacia is a country that is extremely disgusted with demonic law, and wizards and magicians are regarded as evil here, and mages who are found are either put to death, or imprisoned, or banished......
Lux, on the other hand, is an excellent light magician.
With a dual identity, there is a lot to discover about this character.
"In the future, we should make an independent film of Lux, so I hope she can appear in this film for another part."
"If it's an emotional drama," Yuan Zhenshan said...... "Write about Lux and Jiawen IV?" β
"Or write about Lux and Galen?" Fan Zhe laughed and continued: "You don't need to write too clearly, in short, one more female character is still useful." β
"That line ......" Yuan Zhenshan continued to record the communication and exchange between the two on the banknote.
This discussion about the movie script lasted for several hours, and the two chatted quite well.
After finishing the work, Fan Zhe also put forward a request to Yuan Zhenshan: the screenwriting team must complete the creation of the script within half a month and come up with the final script.
Among them, it is estimated that it will have to go through many revisions, and the task is still relatively heavy.
But the creation of the script is a very important part of the crew's preliminary work. After all, not everyone is Wong Kar-wai, and this movie, originally titled "Demacia: Glory", if it is made in the style of Wong Kar-wai, it will be considered a hit on the street.
In addition to writing the script, there are two more important parts of the crew's pre-construction work.
Look for directors and actors.
Fan Zhe has considered becoming a director himself, in fact, he is quite interested in filming, but ...... He was so busy with work and so many projects at hand that he felt like he might not be able to take a break.
And, it seems that this movie is going to be a heavy industry movie.
The so-called 'heavy industry films' refer to the kind of works that are relatively expensive to produce, highly specialized and processed, and distributed to the global market.
For example, Hollywood blockbusters are basically this model, and the most successful of them is Marvel's superhero series.
Since it is a 'heavy industry', under the model, the so-called 'talent' is just a screw. Indispensable, but replaceable.
Therefore, when Fan Zhe was looking for a director, he actually didn't pay much attention to this so-called talent, let alone fame, what he needed was that the director had enough execution and could complete the filming of the film in accordance with the prescribed process and with a professional attitude.
The director doesn't need to take care of the post-production.
