Chapter 179: The Disappointing Fantasy Movie Trend
In terms of reading, Zhang Yang believes that he still has a certain talent.
Dozens of pages of the script for the first season of "Covering the Sky", he finished reading it in a few hours.
There is no problem with the adaptation of the whole script, which is completely in line with his long-standing requirements for Li Xiaoqiang.
Drink some water, smoke a cigarette, eat something, stand up and walk two laps to relax your sedentary body a little.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yang began to read the script of the movie version of "Dragon and Snake".
The full name of the movie version is "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake: Martial Arts Conference", and the main content is to tell Wang Chao about how Wang Chao is preparing to hold an earth-shattering martial arts conference to kill all the martial arts masters in the world.
At this time, he had already entered the supreme realm of breaking the void and seeing that God was not bad.
It's natural between shots, not sticking to any sect moves at all, you can hit whatever you want, all the attacks in the world, he has them at his fingertips, and every attack is the best solution at the moment.
And that's not all.
Wang Chao's physical strength and strength have reached the pinnacle of human beings.
Raising your hands and feet can easily throw your opponent to a height of twenty or thirty meters, hitting a distance of tens of meters.
The beautiful country and the cherry blossom country sent the top masters in the country to assassinate him, but they were all killed by him.
Karate, Aikido, Taekwondo, Judo, Hongmen, Daquan Gang, Qinggang, foreign special forces, and various domestic martial arts schools, none of these schools is his opponent.
He doesn't know how many so-called masters he has killed, and he is recognized as the strongest by all the martial arts practitioners in the world!
Even if he is just standing alone in the small land of Tangmen in Southeast Asia, the prestige of 'No. 1 in the world' has spread all over the world, and no one knows it.
Wang Chao at this stage must be as immobile as a mountain and as thunder.
When the whole body is hidden, it is like an ordinary person, and once it bursts out, it immediately shocks the world and shocks the world.
If you want to play Wang Chao at this time, Fan Leizhou, who has secretly improved his acting skills without publicity, is definitely not good.
It's okay in the TV series, but the audience's requirements are not so high.
In the movie, all kinds of details on the big screen are vividly displayed, and the audience's requirements for the actors are also higher.
Even Fan Leizhou, who had improved his ability at this time, could only barely perform 7 points of charm.
Besides.
The four most important characters in the whole movie, in addition to Wang Chao, there are also GOD, Ba Liming, and Tang Zichen.
If these four roles are played well, the whole movie will be greatly brilliant.
In the previous version of the TV series, everyone had some experience, and now they are starring in the movie version, although the difficulty has increased, it is barely possible.
After reading the script.
Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction.
The script of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake: Martial Arts Conference", there is nothing to say about the plot, the most important thing is the lines.
The words spoken by each character must conceal the charm of a martial arts master, rather than acting like an ordinary person.
In this regard, Li Xiaoqiang combined the original work, plus the help of others in the screenwriting department, and carefully carved the lines of each character.
Even if Zhang Yang just looked at the words, the images of various masters seemed to emerge in front of him.
The whole script starts with the assassination of Wang Chao by the five ninjas of the Sakura Country, and he is killed by him with five punches in five seconds, one by one, until the final Armageddon between Wang Chao and GOD at the Imperial Capital Olympic Venues.
Although this part of the plot has been filmed in the TV series.
But a TV series is a TV series after all.
At that time, the system also had limited funds, and only 100 million was used for every 12 episodes.
Although it is an unprecedented investment, it is still a lot worse than this time.
The movie version will spend 800 million yuan on filming this part of the plot with all its might, and the scene will definitely be much more shocking than the TV series version.
This will test Wang Fei's ability.
But.
Zhang Yang still believes in Wang Fei very much, and he also decided to find an opportunity for Wang Fei to use a prop that improves his directing ability in an all-round way to strengthen his directing level.
I believe that Wang Fei at that time will definitely be able to shoot the unique style of the movie version.
In addition, the most important martial arts instructor in the whole movie, Peng Zulong is still in charge.
He has filmed the drama version, and if he makes the movie version at this time, it must be easy and easy to catch.
Speaking of him, I have to mention Chen Jiaban.
The entire Chen family class was originally Chen Zihao as the head of the class, but with Peng Zulong's debut, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and Chen Zihao is two years older, and the current Chen family class is almost all taken over by Peng Zulong.
In addition, because of the past two years, Xuanyu has been filming non-stop.
Most of the staff in the entire Chen family class are now serving Xuanyu, and only a small number of people are under the leadership of another disciple of Chen Zihao to conduct martial arts instruction for other crews.
Thanks to the close cooperation between the two parties, Peng Zulong's side has recently assembled all the manpower on standby, and while he began to design actions for the three plays, he waited for Zhang Yang's notice.
......
Putting down the script of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake: Martial Arts Conference", Zhang Yang began to read the script of "Yang God".
Different from the wild fantasy of "Covering the Sky", and also different from the national art struggle of "Dragon and Snake", the fantasy style in "Yang God" is closer to the strange feeling of the fairy gods of the traditional Dragon Kingdom.
Some of the scenery described in the original book, and the style revealed between the lines of the whole book, also reflect this.
Therefore, in the script of the first season of "Yang God", the characters' lines will be closer to the speech of ancient people, rather than the very straightforward style of modern people's speech.
Of course, considering that it is a movie after all.
The characters' speeches will definitely not be in the same way as ancient Chinese, otherwise most of the audience may not understand it at all, nor will they understand what it means, but it will affect the viewing of the drama.
The lines written by Li Xiaoqiang for the characters in the script are probably a combination of ancient and modern, much like the feeling of characters speaking in history.
Half literate and half white, a combination of ancient and modern.
In this way, there is not only the feeling of ancient people speaking, but also the audience can hear it clearly.
The plot direction of the whole script is the same as that of the original book.
From the beginning of the Wuwen Hou Mansion, Hong Yi appeared, and the ultimate goal of the first season was to be admitted to the Lifting People's Mansion, and then develop downward.
Reading in the mountain temple, obtaining the past Mida Sutra, knowing the fox clan, befriending the Yuan Concubine, befriending Bai Ziyue, cultivating the martial arts soul, conflicting with the people in the Hou Mansion, getting acquainted with Su Mu, the saint of Taishang Dao, befriending Luo Yun, the princess of Zhennan, participating in the conspiracy to exterminate the lifeless Dao and the Vacuum Dao, conflicting with Fang Xiandao, and being admitted to the lift, the article got Li Shenguang to focus on the first place, Hong Xuanji secretly put pressure, Li Shenguang threatened to suppress by hitting Jingyang Zhong, and finally Hong Yizhongju ended.
The script of the first season was written to this position, and it happened to be a good article written by Hong Yi, which was valued by the chief examiner Li Shenguang, but at this time, his father Hong Xuanji came out to make a stumbling block.
And Li Shenguang, as a master of etiquette, is not dealing with a famous minister like Hong Xuanji.
At this time, seeing that Hong Xuanji wanted to ignore the rules of etiquette, suppress his son, and threaten himself as a master, although he was not as good as his cultivation, but he resolutely threatened Hong Xuanji by hitting Jingyang Zhong in order to protect Hong Yizhong.
The final result was naturally that Hong Yi was able to meet Emperor Qian.
The filming ended at this time, and the hard reading at the beginning to the middle move at the end just echoed each other.
At the same time, it was also written in the script that Hong Yi found that his father Hong Xuanji was very unaccustomed to him, and even had murderous intent, but only because Concubine Yuan arrived, he didn't start.
and Hong Yi discovered the true identity of his mother Meng Bingyun and the plot that he was killed by Hong Xuanji and Mrs. Zhao, paving the way for the subsequent father-son enmity.
In addition, in the first season, the cultivation system visualization, divine soul, Taoism, martial arts and other settings of the whole drama were also explained, as well as the huge world view.
It led to the cultivation sects such as Fang Immortal Dao, Wusheng Dao, Vacuum Dao, Taishang Dao, and Peach Divine Dao, as well as the settings of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, Blood Wengang, Divine Wind Country, and Yunmeng Kingdom.
In the last scene, Hong Yi succeeded in the move, and Hong Xuanji failed to suppress it, which can also whet the audience's appetite and prepare for the second season, which is quite the style of a starting writer who is a master of broken chapters.
The entire first season was actually relatively simple to film, and the most expensive thing was the special effects.
But even the special effects scene is not much, and the scene is not big enough.
The biggest special effects scene is naturally to shoot the picture of the destruction of the Great Zen Temple that was only briefly brought in the original book.
The second is the few battles in which Hong Yi cultivated at the beginning.
Once because he met Luo Yun, the princess of Zhennan, and invited the other party to the Hou Mansion to be in the limelight, which caused jealousy in the mansion.
Then Hong Yi cultivated to the realm of day travel, and found that he was being monitored by Mama Zeng under Mrs. Zhao, and the other party also wanted to secretly use means to make Hong Yi unable to participate in the scientific examination, and even wanted to use the magic of the gods to destroy his mind, making him a fool.
However, Mama Zeng's soul cultivation is a little worse.
He was annihilated by the Yaksha King by Hong Yi, and his soul was extinguished and he died completely.
One time, the Vacuum Dao sent five masters to kill Hong Xuanji.
Four of them were immediately discovered when they entered the Hou Mansion and were strangled by the guards of the Hou Mansion, and the last Dao master, seeing this situation, immediately wanted to use a 'Flame Explosion Divine Rune Sword' to assassinate them again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Hong Yi's spirit came out to watch the battle.
The other party found Hong Yi's trace, in order to make a quick decision, he used the idea of the Sun God Concept to roast Hong Yi, and was finally consumed by Hong Yi by virtue of the powerful recovery ability of the "Past Mida Sutra", and finally the 'Flame Explosion Rune Sword' made of a needle-sized blood pattern steel was also obtained by Hong Yi.
These three battles are the biggest special effects scenes in the first season.
In addition, "Yang God" is not like "Covering the Sky", which is a completely virtual scene, and many scenes that appear in it can be found in reality.
For example, the Hou Mansion, the Imperial Palace, the ancient streets, the Jade Capital City, the Scattered Flower Building, the Fangxian Taoist Temple, and the Imperial Examination Room, all of which have similar scenes in the Dragon Kingdom.
However, these are the business of the field affairs and the outreach team.
After the script is sent, Zhang Yang will naturally send someone to contact those suitable filming locations in China.
[It would be nice to have your own film and television base. 】
Thinking of the filming venue, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Although Haihua film and television companies gather, there are also people who build film and television bases around the city.
But these film and television bases are all in the style of the chaotic era and Southeast Asia decades ago, and they are not suitable for filming fantasy costume scenes.
Most of the costume scenes are in Zhudian or other cities, which are very far away from Haihua.
This also means that the transportation expenses of hundreds of crew members and the transportation costs of shooting equipment, props, and costumes are a lot of money.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
He thought that it would be best if he could build a film and television base in Haihua.
Before, Gongxing's film and television base, to be honest, he was a little interested.
It's really that the conditions in all aspects are too poor, the traffic is not good and too remote, and it is a bit of a chicken rib, so I gave up.
If that piece of land was in Haihua, Zhang Yang would definitely do his best to take it down.
As for now, there is nothing he can do.
The next key work must be to shoot three major dramas, and the idea of a film and television base can only be put on hold for the time being.
......
After reading the three scripts, it was already past the end of work.
All departments of Xuanyu have dispersed, and the whole company is empty, and when Zhang Yang walked out of the office door with Zhang Yang concentrating on watching the cat and mouse in the room, he accidentally found that Lin Xiaohan's office was still lit.
Pushing the door in, Lin Xiaohan was staring intently at the computer screen, working hard.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Zhang Yang cared.
Hearing his voice, Lin Xiaohan raised his head and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've taken over the company's affairs, I'm a little busy, I'll wait for you by the way." ”
Looking out the window, the bright moon was hanging high, and it was obviously late.
Zhang Yang's heart is warm.
"Don't rush for a while, take your time." He looked at the time and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Not yet."
Lin Xiaohan shook his head.
"Let's go, let's eat."
Zhang Yang greeted.
Help her close the computer, lock the door, and the two drive to a mall not far from the company.
I casually found a restaurant to eat something, filled my stomach, passed by the cinema, and Zhang Yang's heart moved.
"Let's watch a movie together, shall we?"
"We make movies ourselves, what movies do we watch?"
Lin Xiaohan was stunned.
"Making a movie and watching a movie are two different things." Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Besides, don't couples go on a date and watch a movie after eating?" Anyway, we don't think we have seen it yet. Let's go! ”
After speaking, Zhang Yang couldn't help but take her hand and walked to the cinema on the top floor of the mall.
The cinema is Wanda's.
It's past nine o'clock, and there are a lot of young couples waiting inside.
Leading Lin Xiaohan, Zhang Yang looked at the electronic screen in front of him, which showed the movies during this time, the number of screenings, and the ticket price.
""Covering the Sun", "Ancient Holy Body", "The Legend of the Swordsman", "Nezha Descends to the World", "The Birth of the Stone Monkey", "Havoc in the Dragon Palace", ......"
Looking at these names, and then using his mobile phone to search for plot information on the Internet, Zhang Yang looked disappointed and helpless.
He knew that with the box office of "Covering the Sky" in the first half of the year, winning the box office championship in 5.6 months in one fell swoop, and shocking the whole country, the film circle of the Dragon Kingdom set off a craze for fantasy movies, but he really didn't know that it would be so outrageously hot.
The various types of movies that were common in the past have now disappeared and have been replaced by all kinds of fantasy movies.
Just saw this scene, Zhang Yang was very happy.
After all, this is what he wants to see, but this time he ran to the cinema on a whim, which was really disappointing.
The titles of these movies, just think about it, he can guess one or two, obviously all of them are works that follow the trend, all of them are out to eat quick money, and they are insincere.
Like "Covering the Sun" and "Ancient Holy Body" are obviously works that rub off on the popularity of "Covering the Sky", he doesn't need to check it to know.
With the mind of luck, Zhang Yang entered the title of the film in Qiandu.
Looking at the synopsis and trailer that came out of the search, he was completely speechless.
Really.
The strong art style of "Covering the Sky" is five levels lower than "Covering the Sky" in all aspects, few actors are powerful, and the special effects are also shoddy.
is the same as he guessed, that is, the name is changed, and the others are copied and then downgraded, and after the change, it will be a brand new movie.
And in this case, he can't even sue the person for infringement, and the other party can't wait for him to sue.
Drag it out casually, hype it up, and the popularity of the movie has soared.
If you lose, losing that little money can't compare to the box office income brought by the popularity, and the other party is happy.
If you win, Zhang Yang wastes time and energy, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it's better not to sue.
Search for "The Legend of the Swordsman", "Nezha Descends to the World", "The Birth of the Stone Monkey", and "Havoc in the Dragon Palace".
From the name, it can be seen that the plot is found from "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Bang", and "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman".
The producer obviously took advantage of the craze of fantasy films, took material from these fantasy fairies that had been shot badly for a long time, changed them casually, and took them out to make a lot of hot money.
You don't have to think about the plot, you can do the special effects casually, saving time and effort, isn't it beautiful?
Looking at the special effects of at most one dollar in the trailers searched on his mobile phone, Zhang Yang is really powerless to complain!
What the hell is this?
At the very least, you need to put some thought into it!
If you want to shoot, shoot well, shoot seriously, what's going on with this perfunctory attitude?
The things that are filmed are completely unwatchable, how can I still make the audience believe in fantasy movies?
"Or ...... Let's stop looking. ”
Zhang Yang's disappointment was all written on his face, how smart Lin Xiaohan was, his head turned slightly, and he immediately understood his thoughts.
I have always wanted to revitalize the Dragon Kingdom fantasy film, but I thought it was starting to be revitalized, but it turned out to be all insincere things, how can Zhang Yang accept this phenomenon? How not to be disappointed?
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaohan comforted: "After all, not everyone has a long-term vision, and the majority of people in the world are mediocre and doggy.
They only have immediate interests in their eyes, and they can't see the more long-term scenery, so don't take it to heart, do your best, and one day you can see the grand occasion you want to see.
Besides, it's not that no one is filming seriously.
Aren't Tenggua's "Fist Intent" and "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" filmed by Mr. He and Mr. Fu Jiang the best examples?
They are the real sincere film and television elites, even these people are following us, sooner or later, everyone will follow us and create the picture you imagined together. ”
She spoke softly, but her tone was unwavering, grasping Zhang Yang's hand and looking into his eyes seriously.
"Believe me, this situation is only temporary, and sooner or later there will be a day in the future!"
