Chapter 441: Martial Arts and Immortals
Song Qi was a little surprised when he heard Tu Renxiong's words.
Tu Renxiong actually had the same idea as him.
When he originally proposed the CNC Wia, one of the uses he envisioned was the filming of Xianxia movies.
Only this kind of CNC wire that simulates a vacuum level can capture the elegant and unrestrained feeling of a sword flying in the air.
"That guy of yours is really good, can you sell me one?"
Tu Renxiong spoke very directly and made his intentions clear when he opened his mouth.
If it were anyone else, Song Qi would definitely not agree.
But after Tu Renxiong brought up the relationship between him and Grandpa An Qin, Song Qi found it difficult to refuse.
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "What are you buying? If you want to lend it to me, it's over! Isn't it worthwhile to buy a set? It costs hundreds of millions, just to take pictures of a few flying around.
Lens?"
"Several hundred million?"
Tu Renxiong was surprised: "So expensive?"
Song Qi smiled and explained: "The cost is not too expensive, the main reason is that the patent is expensive."
His meaning was more obvious, and Tu Renxiong understood it as soon as he heard it.
"Ha ha!"
With a hearty laugh, Tu Renxiong waved his hand and said, "I never lend anything to anyone. You decide the price and I'll rent it to you. I'll pay you, one yard for each yard."
Favors are favors, and business is business. Since money is involved, of course, it must be calculated clearly to avoid hurting feelings.
Song Qi was not reserved and agreed directly.
After picking up the wine glass and drinking one with Tu Renxiong, Song Qicai asked, "When will you use it?"
"Maybe next year, maybe the year after."
Tu Renxiong lamented: "The main reason is that the script is not easy to write. I asked someone to write several scripts, but none of them are right. I am still polishing the script!"
"Yeah?"
Song Qi thought for a moment and then asked with a smile: "If you don't mind, send me those scrap manuscripts later and I will help you with your advice."
"Okay!"
Tu Renxiong was overjoyed and slapped his thigh: "Eh? That's right! You are also a first-rate screenwriter! No need to look back, I will give it to you now!"
As he said this, he greeted the assistant who was not drinking at the door: "Ah Sheng! Go to my office upstairs. There are a few scripts in the second drawer on the right. Go and get them for me."
"oh!"
The assistant responded, stood up and went out. After a while, he came back with a few folders and delivered them to Tu Renxiong.
After Tu Renxiong took it, he handed it to Song Qi: "I used to treat the screenwriters here to dinner, and their scripts were also placed here, but after reading it, I always felt that something was wrong, and I didn't feel anything.
, please help me find out what the problem is."
After receiving the script, Song Qi read through it leisurely.
Soon, he discovered the problem.
"I see."
He smiled slightly and closed the script.
"You know it so soon?"
Tu Renxiong was a little surprised: "Then what's the problem?"
"The problem is that these scripts are martial arts scripts, not fairy tale scripts."
Song Qi said and put the scripts on the table.
"No way? Did I get it by mistake?"
Tu Renxiong took the script and turned it over a few times, and asked in confusion: "That's right? These are the scripts. These are all fairy scripts! Why did they become martial arts scripts?"
"It's different."
Song Qi shook his head and explained: "Although there is only one word difference between martial arts and Xianxia, the difference is still very big.
The core of martial arts is not martial arts, but Xia.
There are many martial artists, but few chivalrous ones. Everyone can practice martial arts, but how many can be respected as chivalrous?
Bandits are also capable of martial arts, and they slaughter countless people when they rob homes and homes. Are they considered heroes?"
"Of course not!"
Tu Renxiong looked a little more serious: "The way of a chivalrous person is to do justice for heaven, save the dead and heal the wounded, and hoe the strong and help the weak."
"That's right."
Song Qi nodded and said: "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. The audience likes martial arts stories and also the chivalrous and righteous actions of the knights in the stories.
Even if he is an ordinary person with no power, if he dares to defy power and petition for the people, he will be loved and remembered by the audience."
"The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people..."
Tu Renxiong repeated these words, his expression gradually became excited, and his eyes looking at Song Qi became a little brighter, as if he had been greatly shocked.
"This sentence really sums up all martial arts culture, brilliantly!"
Tu Renxiong praised: "If you come to make martial arts movies, I'm afraid I can really retire."
Smiling, Song Qi changed the subject: "But Xianxia is different. The focus of Xianxia cannot be on Xia, but on immortals."
"There is an immortal!"
Tu Renxiong took the script and pointed out while reading it: "I made the background setting of this script. There are six sects in total. Each sect has a unique method of cultivating immortals, as well as sect-suppressing immortal weapons..."
Song Qi didn't even read it, shook his head and pushed the script aside, and said seriously: "The so-called immortals are not those who can become immortals by rubbing their navel in the mountains, burning thatch and making a cauldron, adding red lead, and refining autumn stones.
,Xian is a state, a concept, and a temperament.
In these scripts of yours, they all tell the story of monks doing chivalry and fighting villains. How are they different from your other martial arts movies?
It is nothing more than turning various martial arts into Taoism, and the core of the story has not changed, so it will appear nondescript."
"Aren't they all the same?"
Tu Renxiong didn't understand: "Can't a fairy be chivalrous?"
"Of course the movie must promote righteousness, and the protagonist must be heroic and righteous. There is no doubt about this. I am talking about the feeling of the entire story."
Song Qi explained: "The pursuit of immortality is immortality. They are super human beings who have a longer lifespan than ordinary people. They have seen the things they have experienced countless times in the world, so how can they do it because of those trivial things?
Are you excited?"
"If we don't arrange it this way, how can we design the plot?"
Tu Renxiong took a sip of wine worriedly and sighed: "This is the problem I'm worried about. If we follow logic, we can just let them stay in the mountains to practice all their lives. They don't have to come out at all, and the story doesn't have to happen."
“This problem is easy to solve!”
Song Qi said with a smile: "As long as they do not become immortals, those who cultivate immortality will still be mortals. Since they are mortals, they cannot escape two things, one is profit and the other is love.
Interest can cause greed, anger and desire, and emotions can lead to love and hate. As long as you write around these two points, the story will be there."
"Eh? That's interesting."
Tu Renxiong compared the script and discovered the problem: "Then can I expand the treasure-hunting scene and turn it into the main plot?"
"no."
Song Qi said solemnly: "The main line of the fairy tale must be immortality. There is no room for discussion. You can fill in other content, but if you want the story to be remembered by more people, you must be emotional.
effort."
Discussions among colleagues are often more efficient. Song Qi raised a few conceptual points, and Tu Renxiong understood them clearly by comparing them with his own.
He couldn't help but sigh: "They say that listening to you is better than ten years of studying. It's true!"
