Chapter 453, Lu Bu picks thorns

Speaking of the spring breeze, Xu Krypton is actually even worse than Lu Bu.

He is one of the directors of "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World", and he is also a beneficiary of the double explosion of the movie box office and word-of-mouth.

If you make money and make a name for yourself, can you not be happy?

Although, he is already known as one of the "legendary directors of Hong Kong films", with his unique talent and endless creativity, he has contributed many classic works to the Chinese film industry, such as "New Shushan Swordsman", "New Dragon Gate Inn", "Smiling Proud Jianghu 2 Undefeated in the East", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Liang Zhu" and so on.

However, his glory seems to be fixed in the eighties and nineties, and after entering the twenty-first century, "The Legend of Shushan", "Black Man 2", and "Seven Swords" knelt three times in a row, making him labeled as "Jiang Lang's talent", "eating old books", and "fried leftovers".

He doesn't care about these things, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to return to the top.

Since getting acquainted with Lu Bu, he first restarted the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, changed his life against the sky, got rid of all the labels, and then co-directed "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World", one step to the sky, and then cast brilliance.

It's not an exaggeration at all, you can wake up with a smile even when you sleep.

"Xiao Yu contacted me the day before yesterday and said that preparations for "Three Kingdoms: Chang'an Rebellion" have begun, has the script been completed?" After a few idle words, Xu Krypton began to talk about business, he was not here to play this time.

"Well, the script of the trilogy was written together, but the second and third parts were not perfected at that time." Lu Bu replied.

"The boot time has also been confirmed?" Xu Krypton asked.

"It's tentatively set for March, and it depends on the actors' schedules and the construction of the scenes." Lu Bu said.

"Shoot for four to six months, and finish in September at the latest, will you give out your schedule later?" Xu Krypton asked again.

"What's ......" Lu Bu heard it, smiled, and asked rhetorically: "The script of the new play is ready?" ”

"I talked to you before, the new version of "Dragon Gate Inn" and the new theme "Di Renjie", the scripts have all been written, you can take a look first." As he spoke, Xu Krypton took out two folders from his briefcase and handed them over, he knew that Lu Bu was now taking on the drama to see if the script was attractive, and he didn't want to engage in favors, it was best to cooperate, of course, if you can't cooperate, then wait for a better script.

"Okay, I'll see." Lu Bu reached out and took the folder, then opened the first one.

[Title: Dragon Gate Flying Armor.]

Synopsis: Three years after the Longmen Inn was burned down, Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Factory of the Ming Dynasty, chased and killed the concubine who was pregnant with the dragon fetus and Zhao Huai'an who resisted the imperial court and came to this inn......

Lu Bu looked at it roughly, and then said: "This background setting is very good, it's just ......"

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Krypton smiled lightly: "You don't need to give me face, if there is any problem, it doesn't hurt if you say anything." ”

"A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Heavenly Way", "The Legend of Chu and Han", and "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" have proved that Lu Bu's ability to appreciate the script and adapt the story is very good.

Good things are naturally to be adopted, and he is not a person who is stubborn, or a person who does not eat oil and salt.

After all, you can only benefit from a good movie if it's good.

Lu Bu said: "Yuhuatian showed profound martial arts at the beginning, Dongchang Dudu threw a teacup, he looked disdainful, and his kick shook the floor, and his stirring true qi smashed the teacup to pieces; Then add another kick, the splashed floor fragments flew out, and went straight to the door of the Dongchang Governor, the Governor suddenly looked like earth, and when he left, he exerted the force of his palm on the chair, and destroyed the last chair like a cow across the mountain, and the leopard in the tube can be seen, in addition, in the last part, I saw that Yuhuatian had a line that was 'Unfortunately, none of you are my opponents', and everyone else also acquiesced to this fact. ”

"These all show that Yuhuatian's martial arts are above everyone, and it is extremely difficult to defeat the ultimate villain by force, but unfortunately the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and Yuhuatian's martial arts are limited to the frightening of the Dongchang cadres and their own rhetoric and the recognition of others at the beginning, in fact, there is no rendering of the top martial arts, but there is no substantive result."

"On the other hand, Cao Shaoqin in "New Dragon Gate Inn", in the decisive battle, he defeated four enemies, but still received one head, seriously injured the other three, and had an absolute crushing advantage, this kind of martial arts strength makes the audience fearful, and expects the protagonists to defeat him in a special way, so as to get the pleasure of watching the movie."

This chat was gone for half an hour.

Lu Bu talked a lot, from the villain, to the protagonist, to the supporting role, in his eyes, almost all of them have problems.

Xu Krypton listened quite seriously, because he knew that the core of script creation was "character portrayal".

Characters are not only carriers of feelings, but also the main factors that drive the story forward.

Therefore, the ultimate goal of all good stories is to create characters, classic stories, you may forget a lot of details, but the successful character image in the film can grow with time and stay in the hearts of the audience for a long time.

Therefore, the success of the portrayal of the character image of the movie often becomes the key factor in the success of a film.

As the basis of the entire film story, the script has become a fundamental task of script creation to create a vivid and lively character image.

After pondering Lu Bu's words for a while, Xu Krypton spoke: "You are very right, there is room for optimization, I will talk to Ji Ping again." ”

He Jiping, one of the screenwriters of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", a mainland writer, screenwriter and producer, graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera and Drama Literature, and has strong professional ability as a screenwriter, with representative works such as "The Legend of the New White Lady", "The First Floor of the World", "Casting a Name" and so on.

With this screenwriter lineup, to be honest, there shouldn't be only such a script, it's probably too rushed.

Of course, what Lu Bu said was just his personal opinion, and Xu Krypton and the others still had to meet to discuss.

Then......

Lu Bu flipped through the second folder.

[Title: Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire.]

Synopsis: Before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he built a three-hundred-foot Tongtian floating slaughterhouse, before the completion of the project, but there were life cases, the supervisor Sha Tuo said that the two people were punished by heaven for moving the spirit talisman of the pillar of heaven, Pei Donglai, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and Shangguan Jing'er, the personal guard of the Empress Wu, were ordered to investigate, but the national teacher Lu Li pointed out that the case needed to be investigated by Di Renjie, and the Empress Wu issued an order, and Di Renjie, who had been imprisoned for eight years, was released and appointed as Qincha in charge of the case......]

Like "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", it is not attractive enough.

It's not about the characters, it's about the story.

It stands to reason that the use of "Di Renjie" as the protagonist should be based on suspense and solving cases, but "Di Renjie: The Heavenly Empire" is biased towards action and magic.

The screenwriter is not Xu Krypton, but there are Chen Guifu and Zhang Weilu, the former's masterpiece is "Double Pupil", and the latter's masterpiece is the world's no thieves, and the two are also the screenwriters of the movie script "The Wind" selected by Yu Feihong for Lu Bu.

It can only be said that it is not up to standard.

This script was chatted for another half an hour.

Xu Krypton listened to Lu Bu's opinion and went back to refine the two scripts.

As for Lu Bu, it is not yet determined whether he wants to act in these two plays, and he still has to look at the final version of the script.

At noon, after having a meal together, Xu Krypton said goodbye and left, and Lu Bu returned to the crew to continue filming.

"You're just in time."

"What's wrong?"

"Help me see this." (End of chapter)
