Chapter 297: Film and Television Adaptation

Recently, "Flood World" has almost grabbed all the hot news, and it can't be more popular.

With the launch of the "Flood World" cartoon, it once again set off a climax among fans.

The popularity of "Flood World" is more and more popular, which is a disaster for other game companies.

Many game companies are even planning to switch to something else.

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

Zhao Ye is discussing with the staff of the studio the possibility of film and television adaptation of "Flood World".

Director Xu Xiangming smiled wryly at this time: "Dong Zhao, it's too difficult to shoot "Flood World", even if you intercept a story and use it to make a movie, most of the scenes will still use movie special effects!" ”

After a pause, Director Xu quipped: "I seem to be able to feel the funds burning wildly!! ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "It's true that the funds are burning, but I think it should be filmed, and besides, fans of "Flood World" also want to see a movie of "Flood World" released in theaters." ”

At this time, Zhao Ye couldn't help but think of the fantasy action film "World of Warcraft" jointly produced by Legendary Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment in his previous life, which was adapted from the game of the same name, and did not achieve much success after its release.

The game World of Warcraft was publicly tested in North America in 2004, and it wasn't until 2016 that the movie was released.

At that time, "World of Warcraft" was no longer popular.

There is a saying that "strike while the iron is hot", and now that "Flood World" is on fire, if you don't adapt the movie to release it quickly, do you have to wait for the popularity of the game to drop before adapting the movie, what is the point.

Tao Feihang, the person in charge of digital light and magic, said: "Zhao Dong, those scenes in "Flood World", we can do digital light and magic. In addition, we can also make a variety of race models, which can ensure that the real and fake are difficult to distinguish and lifelike! ”

Digital Light & Magic has always been strongly supported by the Borderless Group, and has long surpassed Industrial Light & Magic in the United States in terms of technology.

The powerful "Source Engine" software can not only speed up the production of movie special effects and reduce costs, but also the "Source Engine" is also extremely good in terms of the effect of movie special effects.

Therefore, Tao Feihang very much wanted to try and challenge the project of "Flood World".

Zhao Ye looked at him and asked, "Mr. Tao, you estimate, if "Flood World" is adapted into a movie, what will be the production cost!" ”

When Tao Feihang heard this, he thought for a while, and then said, "Probably, at least 300 million US dollars......"

Zhao Ye benchmarked "Flood World" against "Avatar", but "Flood World" obviously has many more special effects scenes than "Avatar", so the production cost of "Flood World" is also higher than that of "Avatar".

However, Hollywood movies are well paid actors, and in this regard, "Flood World" has an advantage, and more funds can be used for film special effects.

"$300 million is no problem! I think that once the movie is released, we will definitely be able to earn it back! Even if the movie doesn't make money, you can make money from peripheral products, at least when the movie is released, the game "Flood World 1: Three Clans" will definitely be popular all over the Internet again! ”

When Xu Xiangming heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, thinking to himself, the daily revenue of "Flood World 1: Three Clans" is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, and you can earn back a movie in one day.

"Dong Zhao, since this is the case, then I support this project. Later, I arranged for a professional screenwriter to start adapting "The Flood World". Xu Xiangming said.

Zhao Ye nodded and explained: "Well, but the timeline of the film and television adaptation can't exceed the game!" ”

"Okay, Dong Zhao, I understand, I'll remind them when the time comes." After Xu Xiangming finished speaking, he already had an adaptation plan in his mind, and the first movie was ready to choose the story of the first tribulation of the dragon and Han in the desolate world, and the struggle for hegemony among the three clans.

Xu Xiangming also thought about whether it was filmed smoothly according to the timeline, and the first adapted movie was filmed "Open Heaven and Measure Tribulation".

However, there are very few descriptions of "Open Heaven and Measuring Tribulation", and it is difficult to fill in the plot, so it is better to shoot the shocking scene of "Open Heaven and Measuring Tribulation" in a few minutes at the beginning of the filming of the first tribulation of Longhan.

And the plot of the first tribulation of the Dragon and Han Dynasty is more ups and downs, on the bright side, the dragon, the phoenix, and the unicorn three clans compete for hegemony in the flood famine, and overwhelm the ten thousand races, but in fact, the three clans were calculated by the remnants of the demon ancestor Rahu among the three thousand chaos demon gods, and the boundless killing was created in the flood wilderness, and the supreme karmic fruit was suppressed and withdrew from the flood desolation continent, at the end of the movie, the demon ancestor Luo Hu calculated the three clans and cultivated the killing avenue, but at this moment, the remaining space demon gods Yang Mei, Daozu Hongjun, and Qiankun Yin and Yang among the three thousand chaos demon gods suddenly appeared, and then besieged Rahu. After killing the demon gods such as Qiankun Yin and Yang, Luo Hu finally blew himself up and died, and the self-explosion destroyed the Western spiritual vein, and thus the first movie ended......

The more Xu Xiangming thought about it, the more excited he became, and when the meeting was over for a while, he went to discuss with the screenwriters.

……

Half a month later, the first draft of the script of "Flood World" has been written.

Xu Xiangming is still quite satisfied with this script, as long as it is polished well, it will definitely be a very good script.

At noon, he found Zhao Ye with this movie script after eating.

"Dong Zhao, this is the script adapted by the screenwriters from "The Flood World", please take a look at it and see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

"Okay."

The script has a small number of words, only about 30,000 words.

In less than ten minutes, Zhao Ye finished reading.

Zhao Ye didn't have anything to be picky about the script, and explained to Xu Xiangming and asked the screenwriters to polish and improve it themselves.

"Dong Zhao, in terms of directors and actors, do you have any requirements or favorite candidates?"

"It's up to you to decide, but it's better to use someone from your own company. "Flood World" is not another film project, and it has a large number of fans in itself, so it is not the star that makes the movie, but the movie that makes the star! We are fully confident to use some actors with good acting skills but cheap salaries! Zhao Ye thought for a while and said.

When Xu Xiangming heard this, he immediately changed his original plan to invite a big star to star in this movie.

……

It is said that "there is no impermeable wall in the world", and sure enough, the news that Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio was preparing to adapt and shoot "Flood World" spread far and wide, and then quickly set off huge waves in China and even the world.

Hundreds of media reporters from all over the world came to the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio to determine whether the news was true.

"So many journalists !!"

Xu Xiangming looked down through the floor-to-ceiling window and saw that the reporters were densely packed, blocking the studio with water.

At this time, he hurriedly called Zhao Ye to ask if he was going to reveal the film and television adaptation project of "Flood World" to the public now.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he smiled and said, "Let's announce it to the public, it's just enough to hype it up." ”

"Okay, Dong Zhao, then I'll announce the news now!" After Xu Xiangming finished speaking, he waited for three or four seconds, and when he saw that the boss had nothing else to say, he hung up the phone.

He quickly took the elevator to the first floor and walked to the door of the building.

As soon as the reporters saw him, they immediately asked excitedly and loudly: "Mr. Xu, I heard that Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is preparing to adapt and shoot "Flood World", I don't know if this news is true?" ”

Xu Xiangming nodded, and said unhurriedly: "It's true, the project of "Flood World" has been approved, and the script is being polished, with a total investment of about no less than 300 million US dollars!! ”

The news was confirmed, and the reporters were excited.

Press the camera like a convulsion and take a picture of Xu Xiangming.

Not long after, the news that "Flood World" was going to be made into a movie successfully appeared on the hot search list of Weibo and Twitter.

For a time, it was a global sensation!
