Chapter 274 Return to China (4/5)
Any domestic fantasy film must be put on: Be careful! I will tell you a super, super huge, super complex, super heart-wrenching and super epic legend!
The question is, who cares how bizarre and complicated the settings you are coming up?
"Asura"...not just "Asura", which works do most of the domestic fantasy studies?
"Lord of the Rings"!
Be big, show off, be excited!
The problem is that "Lord of the Rings" itself is a reading material that has been circulated in the Western world for half a century. "Game of Thrones" has to be prepended for several seasons first and then lead to the settings.
Why is your "Asura" acceptable?
Spend 700 million...
Whether it is true or false, it is a tragedy!
In fact, when doing commercial films, you must understand the audience. If a screenwriter of a commercial film does not watch popular, does not play games, or does not watch anime...
It will be abandoned by the times!
If you don’t even understand the preferences and aesthetics of the current mainstream audience, you don’t think that such people can write popular commercial works!
The setting of "Asura" is quite complicated, such as Asura King, the three-headed Asura King, strategy, insight, **.
It also talks about Plato, saying that Plato first divided human soul into three parts: reason, passion and **, and pointed out that one of them always dominates, making people's pursuits differently.
The best soul order is to dominate rationally, assist passion, restrain yourself and obey reason...
What six realms...
Really, Lu Xiaoran specializes in filmmaking, but he has not been able to get the focus of the whole story...
...
"I originally wanted to do the theme of "Walking with God" by myself... If you want to do Chinese fantasy, this theme is very suitable, you can use it!"
Lu Xiaoran really sympathizes with Yang Zhenjian...
Regardless of whether "Asura" spends 750 million or not, it must have spent money!
Listen to the meaning of the auxiliary device, the special effects are good, and I put in a lot of effort, but unfortunately the story is broken and no one can read it...
"Walking with God" is different, a really good story!
"What is it about?"
"The setting is simple: there is a law in the underworld. All the dead must go through seven trials within 49 days of death - in the murder prison, the lazy prison, the deceit prison, the unjust prison, the betrayal prison, the violent prison, and the heavenly prison. Only when seven trials are declared innocent can the dead be reincarnated and get the opportunity to give their deceased relatives a dream to say goodbye."
After looking at Yang Zhenjian, Lu Xiaoran continued: "The first story is called "Crime and Punishment",
Firefighter Kim Zihong died in the fire for saving people. After his death, he met the hell messenger Jiang Lin to relieve his grievances and Deok-chun. They will serve as a "lawyer group" in the seven trials to defend Kim Zihong's "noble man" (the deceased of justice)!"
"The first story is that with the help of Yin Chai Li Dechun, he passed the seven hells, escaped from the crime in seven trials, and finally succeeded in reincarnation."
Yang Zhenjian hesitated for a moment: "Hell, what's wrong? You can't pass the trial like this, right?"
"…You want to make a good fantasy story and think about safety, it's too difficult!"
“The setting of “Asura” is very good…”
"Then come on!"
“…We are going to hire a professional special effects team in Hollywood and spend a lot of money to build it…”
"Can I ask, why do you have to do Asura?"
"…I want to subvert Chinese movies, not only Chinese movies, but also Hollywood!"
Yang Zhenjian continued: "Chinese films are currently facing a comprehensive upgrade process, so there is a big challenge, which is whether we Chinese filmmakers can integrate the world's materials for our films. For example, Americans shoot mummies, which is Egyptian theme and North Africa theme. The audience does not feel that it is inconsistent, because the audience has rationally accepted the practice of Hollywood filmmakers!"
"Actually becoming the mainstream of world movies is the only way for Chinese movies. In the future, the more worldly it is, the more likely it is to be Chinese. If an artist does not have the ability to bridge different cultures together to make it seamless, it means that the artist's cultivation is still shallow."
"I want to be Asura, a world-class presentation and international manufacturing, so that I can turn the huge cultural resources accumulated in the East into high-level movies that are understandable and disseminated, and that people all over the world like!"
Wow…
Teacher Lu's blood was so hot that he wanted to accept his head and bow...
Well, Teacher Lu actually has no fluctuations in his heart, and he even wants to laugh a little...
You have lofty ambitions, and Teacher Lu is far from that...
No matter how he blew, Lu Xiaoran didn't answer a word until he shut up and mentioned the fact that he was the supervisor.
"…My work plan is full, I don't have time or energy to do other things. Teacher Yang, you should find someone else!"
Yang Zhenjian sighed...
"By the way, are you really not interested in "Walking with God"?"
“…I’ll still be my Asura!”
"Then I bought it myself..."
...
There are really not many producers who know content now, too few are too few.
When most producers talk to you, they talk about frameworks, worldviews, settings, and topics...
Rarely talk about specific stories!
The subject matter like "Asura" is actually suitable for making cartoons - non-realistic works with a worldview. If it is not directed to children, no matter it is an animation or a real person, there must be only one voice. With the stereotyped positive and negative characters, there must be different values, different conflicts of interest and even dark sides.
Having said that, at present, domestic film and television works should show that this is too risky for investors.
Yang Zhenjian is gone...
Lao Yang is not the first to come to him to help him stand up.
Zhongying also found Lu Xiaoran and wanted to do "Ghost Blows Out the Light" together...
The copyright of the first four books was bought out by Zhongying, and the last four books were won...
The director they recommended was Lu Chuan. Lu Xiaoran had just talked to him for a few words and was too lazy to pay attention to him...
Director Lu Chuan's original words: I want to rewrite the script! I happened to see a movie about people from another planet invading the earth and lurking among humans.
If you want to make science fiction and disaster films in China, you must be particularly integrated with the contemporary Chinese so that the audience will feel immersive.
"Then why do you still use the IP of "Ghost Blows Out the Light"?"
Actually, I don’t think this movie has anything to do with him. When an IP enters the world of movies, it is a creation of a filmmaker. I don’t think any book can guarantee that this movie will be sold!
It's overwhelmed!
You are so awesome, you can play by yourself...
The adaptation rights of "The Tomb Raiders' Chronicles" were filmed by Huayi...
Anyway, Yang Zhenjian's arrival reminded him, and immediately called Chen Zhixi and asked her to buy the adaptation rights of "Walking with Gods" - even if it can't be made into a live-action movie, it's OK to make an anime movie!
...
On September 22, Lu Xiaoran returned to China...
The entire September movie market was very desolate. In addition to "Hunting", it barely exceeded 200 million, and there is also a second movie in the series "So Lucky" in the series "The Box Office" that barely exceeded 100 million...
No more...
The National Day holiday is coming soon, everyone is ready to fight and fight with bayonets!
The first echelon must be "Dragon King of Shendu" and "Moon";
The second echelon is Bona's "Escape from the Sky" and "Magic" in the movie...
Just these four...
Guangsheng gave up the National Day holiday this year, and "Four Famous Captains 2" has been transferred to the 3D, and is preparing to be filmed on the New Year holiday;
Leshi Film: "I Want to Be Good with You", invited Feng Teddy + Wang Luodan;
Wanda looks down on the National Day holiday, and he has brought big brothers to the New Year holiday, focusing on the New Year holiday "Police Story 2013" - Datian Tian Tian's bad movie series...
By the way, Lu Xiaoran promised to make Da Tiantian famous, and did what she said, "A Smile Is Very Beautiful", which directly promoted her to the most popular actress.
But, what happened afterwards was a bit like that...
Lu Xiaoran doesn’t really want to have connections with Xingguanglan - she is just a white glove company, specializing in helping people and so on!
Chapter completed!
