The legend of the White Snake, a classic bad movie.

Why?

The score is 5.5.

The legend of the White Snake has Li Lianjie, with a score of 4.8.

Enough against the sky.

Back then, Zhao Minzhuo Dawei Tianlong's "Green Snake" had a score of 8.6, and the special effects of that era were better than the legend of the White Snake, Fang Yu once thought about what the problem was.

Later, after seeing the boss of Juli Group once, Huang Shengyi's husband Yangzi, Fang Yu understood.

In addition to the salary of nearly 100 million yuan for Li Lianjie, the remaining cost is also about 100 million yuan.

For a group with deep pockets, how to spend 100 million yuan has become a big problem.

Fang Yu has seen the director of A Chinese Ghost Story, Cheng Xiaodong filming, and asked him to spend 100 million, which is really embarrassing for him.

can only throw money on embarrassing and inexpensive special effects, resulting in the later fights all being carried out against the background of a fake green screen.

Domestic films at this stage made the biggest mistake, abandoning the foundation laid by the original Hong Kong films, and adopting Hollywood's green screen form, but the money is not as much as Hollywood's, and the special effects team is not as good as Hollywood's, so there will be ghosts if you can produce a good drama.

In addition, the original script was changed a lot by Yangzi, a local boss who didn't understand the script at all, and the movie was worse than the worst, which is not unreasonable.

Now that there is no Huang Shengyi, the heroine has been changed to Liu Yifei, Fang Yu held the script in his hand, and immediately got rid of Li Lianjie's apprentice in the plot, the monk played by heraldry.

"The king of kung fu I can only perform because the script is rotten."

"This legend of the White Snake stands on the shoulders of giants. Such a classic mythological story, if it is not filmed as everyone is familiar with, I can only say, don't destroy the things of the ancestors. ”

"In the past two days, you have to get the service of the Tao first, I will overturn the script, don't worry, it won't be long before the original story of the White Snake will be enough to support our movie."

When Fang Yu arrived on the set, he was called a vigorous and resolute crew, and the crew members who had never worked with Hollywood producers were also mobilized by Fang Yu, because don't look at the many people here who are older than Fang Yu, but no one can achieve such an achievement as Fang Yu.

In his early twenties, he became a top producer and screenwriter in Hollywood, and with such an identity to guide them, it was completely to go to the countryside to condole, and he didn't cooperate? I really don't want to get mixed up in the industry.

"Is this time in a hurry?" Cheng Xiaodong was a little difficult, the leading actors were coming, and Fang Yu temporarily changed the book.

"The people, actors, and special effects involved behind this"

"Special effects? We don't use special effects, we don't use a single one. ”

"No special effects?" Cheng Xiaodong was stunned, "How can you present the effect without special effects?" ”

"Has Ultraman seen it? Oh, Xiangjiang should read Salted Egg Superman. ”

"What do you mean in the form of a tokusatsu drama?" Cheng Xiaodong wondered.

"Director Cheng is more familiar with this aspect than me, and you don't use less props in A Chinese Ghost Story."

Some enduring Hong Kong films are filmed because of the use of physical props, so that the film does not look particularly fake.

Because after a few years, even if AI technology is used to complete Blu-ray transcoding, Wumao special effects will not become real, such as the old demon of Montenegro in A Chinese Ghost Story, Grandma Tree Spirit, and all kinds of monsters, all of which are shot with props, and this treatment is put into a horror thriller movie, which is much more realistic than worthless special effects.

"It will take a while to make props."

"Don't worry, three weeks ago, I asked Xu Guanwen to help contact a team, they are in Xiangjiang, the two big snakes I asked them to make are working overtime every day, and the rest of the small characters of the monsters involved in the film, I have already contacted people in Hollywood, and the team will be on the scene the day after tomorrow, you should have heard of this team, they have made up Star Wars."

Awesome!

Cheng Xiaodong and the two assistant directors and a cameraman on the side were all shocked by Fang Yu's arrangement.

originally felt like a film that was messing around, but it immediately became watchable.

This is much better than at the beginning, when Huang Shengyi and Yangzi were like Yangzi playing around.

Sino-US co-production, and Sino-US co-production.

Fang Yu had this advantage in his hands, so there was no need for him to lose it.

Compared with the declining Xiangjiang film industry today, the Hollywood team is much more reliable, the fairy holster that needs to be refined is handed over to Hollywood, and the two big snakes that only need to be made are handed over to Xiangjiang, and Fang Yu can be regarded as a good hand at making the best use of things.

With Fang Yu, the winner of the Oscar and the Berlin Silver Bear screenwriting award, the original three screenwriters now dare not say a word.

He really couldn't say a word, because no one here could communicate with Fang Yu about how to design the plot to be good.

In fact, Fang Yu didn't plan to have such a complicated design.

The profit point of this film is abroad, and the domestic box office prospects are very worrying, which is also because the adaptation is not caused by random editing, so everyone watched a not so white snake legend, and it is strange that they are willing to buy it.

Fang Yu knows what the movies that domestic audiences want to watch are like, and at the same time, he also understands what kind of domestic movies foreigners like.

The mystery of the East cannot be relied on by special effects technology that is inferior to the West.

According to the original way, the whole special effects film that is not in China and West is not in the West will lose the face of Chinese films and all Chinese filmmakers.

If you want to win in this environment, you have to use the form of old Hong Kong films, and you have to get closer to Fang Yu's filmed, "Painted Skin" and "A Chinese Ghost Story IV.

Fang Yu first set the tone of the story.

Eight big characters.

Horror thriller, love story.

After Fang Yu started writing the script, he found that many screenwriters didn't understand the most basic starting and ending, and the story was very plain in a straight line.

Why is A Chinese Ghost Story classic, good-looking and attractive?

The background of the story at the beginning of the story is very grotesque and weird, and the scene presented in the movie seems to be a world where people can eat people, in such a world, everyone sweats for the kind and simple male protagonist.

Later, when I went to Lanruo Temple, the story officially began, and the audience's heart did not land, but on the contrary, it hung even more.

Until the audience realized that ghosts were sometimes kinder than people, and then to the thrilling battle of wits and courage and singing and crying love, it was strange that the movie score could be poor.

Before the script was written, Fang Yu first asked the whole team to carefully watch the classic movie "Green Snake" in 93 twice.

Xu Ke, Zhang Manyu, Wang Zuxian, Zhao Minzhuo, Wu Xinguo.

If you really want to talk about this lineup, it is not necessarily as luxurious as the current "Legend of the White Snake".

Cheng Xiaodong, Fang Yu, Li Lianjie, Liu Yifei, Cai Zhuoyan, are also a little worse in the acting skills of the actresses, but they can also make up for it from Li Lianjie and Fang Yu.

The investment is more than the green snake, and the lineup is stronger than the green snake.

If they can't make a movie that surpasses the Green Snake, these filmmakers should think carefully about whether the industry they are engaged in has taken a detour.
