fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 183 The Disappointing Trend of Fantasy Movies

In terms of reading, Zhang Yang thinks he still has a certain talent.

He finished reading the tens of pages of the script of the first season of "Shading the Sky" in a few hours.

The entire script was adapted without any problems, and it was completely consistent with his long-standing requirements for Li Xiaoqiang.

Drink some water, smoke a cigarette, eat something, stand up and walk around, and relax your sedentary body a little.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yang began to read the script of the movie version of "Dragon Snake".

The full name of the movie version is "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake: The Martial Arts Conference".

At this time, he has entered the supreme state of breaking the void and seeing God is not bad.

The strikes are natural, he doesn't stick to any martial art moves at all, he can hit whatever he thinks of, all the attack methods in the world, he is at his fingertips, and every attack is the best solution at the moment.

Not only that.

Wang Chao's physical fitness and strength have reached the peak of human beings.

It can easily throw the opponent up to a height of 30 to [-] meters, and hit a distance of tens of meters.

The beautiful country and the cherry blossom country sent top experts in the country to jointly assassinate him, and he beat them all to death.

Karate, Aikido, Taekwondo, Judo, Hongmen, Daquan Gang, Qing Gang, foreign special forces, and domestic martial arts schools, none of these schools is his opponent.

His men have killed countless so-called masters, and he is recognized as the strongest by all martial arts practitioners in the world!
Even though it stands alone in the small land of Tangmen in Southeast Asia, the reputation of 'No. [-] in the world' has spread all over the world, and everyone knows it.

Wang Chao at this stage must be as immovable as a mountain and as moving as a thunder.

When the whole body's energy and energy are hidden, he looks like an ordinary person. Once it breaks out, it immediately shakes the earth and shakes the world.

If you want to play Wang Chao at this time, you can't do it without Zhang Yang who has secretly improved his acting skills.

It’s okay in the TV series, the audience’s requirements are not so high.

In the movie, all kinds of details are vividly displayed on the big screen, and the audience has higher requirements for actors.

Even Fan Leizhou, who had improved his abilities at this time, could only barely perform 7 points of charm.

Besides.

The four most important characters in the whole movie, besides Wang Chao, are GOD, Ba Liming, and Tang Zichen.

If these four roles are played well, the whole movie will be brilliant.

Everyone had some experience with the previous TV series version. Now, even though it is more difficult to star in the movie version, it is still just doable.

Read the script.

Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction.

There is nothing much to say about the plot of the script of "The Legend of Dragon and Snake: Martial Arts Tournament", the most important thing is the lines.

The words spoken by each character must hide the charm of martial arts masters, instead of acting like ordinary people.

In this regard, Li Xiaoqiang carefully crafted the lines of each character in combination with the original work and with the help of other people in the screenwriting department.

Even if Zhang Yang just looked at the text, images of various masters seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

The whole script begins with the assassination of Wang Chao by the five major ninjas of the Sakura Kingdom, and he uses five punches within five seconds, killing them all one by one, and ends with the decisive battle between Wang Chao and GOD at the Olympic venue in the imperial capital.

Although this part of the plot was filmed in the TV series.

But a TV series is a TV series after all.

At that time, the system funds were also limited, and only [-] million was used for every [-] episodes.

Although it is already an unprecedented large investment, it is still a lot worse than this time.

The movie version will spend 8 million in filming funds to shoot this part of the story, and the scene must be much more shocking than the TV version.

This will test Wang Fei's ability.

but.

Zhang Yang still believed in Wang Fei, and he decided to find an opportunity to give Wang Fei a prop to improve his director ability in all aspects, so as to strengthen his director level.

I believe that Wang Fei at that time can definitely shoot the unique style of the movie version.

In addition, the most important martial arts director in the whole movie still continues to use Peng Zulong to be in charge.

He has filmed the drama version, and now he will make the movie version, it must be easy and easy to grasp.

Speaking of him, I have to mention Chen Jiaban.

Chen Zihao was originally the leader of the entire Chen family class, but with Peng Zulong's debut, his reputation has grown, and Chen Zihao is two years older, almost all of the current Chen family class is taken over by Peng Zulong.

In addition, because Xuan Yu has been filming non-stop in the past two years.

Most of the entire Chen Family Class is now serving Xuanyu, and only a small number of people, under the leadership of another disciple of Chen Zihao, provide martial arts guidance for other crews.

Thanks to the close cooperation between the two parties, Peng Zulong has recently put all his hands on standby and started designing actions for the three dramas while waiting for Zhang Yang's notification.

Putting down the script of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake: Martial Arts Conference", Zhang Yang started to read the script of "Yang Shen".

Different from the savage fantasy of "Shading the Sky", and also different from the martial arts struggle of "Dragon Snake", the fantasy style in "Sun God" is closer to the feeling of the fairy tales, heroes, monsters and strange tales of the traditional Dragon Kingdom.

Some of the scenery described in the original book and the style revealed between the lines of the whole novel also reflect this point.

Therefore, in the script of the first season of "Yang Shen", the lines of the characters will be closer to the speech of ancient people, rather than the very straightforward style of modern people's speech.

Of course, considering that it's a movie after all.

The characters' speeches will definitely not be all in the ancient Chinese way, otherwise most of the audience may not be able to understand them at all, and they may not understand what they mean, which will affect the viewing of the drama.

The lines that Li Xiaoqiang wrote for the characters in the script are probably a combination of ancient and modern, very similar to the way characters in historical novels speak.

Half text, half white, combining ancient and modern.

In this way, it feels like ancient people speaking, and the audience can hear it clearly.

The plot of the whole script is exactly the same as the original.

From the beginning of Wuwenhou Mansion, Hong Yi appeared on the stage. The ultimate goal of the first season of roll call is to be admitted to Juren, and then continue to develop.

Studying in mountain temples, obtaining Amitabha scriptures in the past, getting to know the fox family, befriending concubines of the Yuan Dynasty, making friends with Bai Ziyue, practicing martial arts, conflicting with people in the Hou family, getting to know Su Mu, the saint of the Supreme Daoist, Luo Yun, the princess of Zhennan, and participating in the development During the conspiracy to destroy Wushengdao and Vacuum Dao, he clashed with Fang Xiandao, was admitted to Juren, the article won Li Shenguang's attention as No. Finish.

The script of the first season was written in this position, it happened that Hong Yi wrote a good article, which was valued by the chief examiner Li Shenguang, but at this time, his father Hong Xuanji came out to interfere.

But Li Shenguang, as a master of etiquette, would not deal with a well-known official like Hong Xuanji.

Seeing that Hong Xuanji wanted to disregard the rules of etiquette, suppress his son, and threaten himself as a grand master, although his cultivation level was not as good, he resolutely threatened Hong Xuanji with hitting the Jingyang Bell in order to protect Hong Yi Zhongju.

The final result was naturally that Hong Yi won the election and was able to meet Emperor Qian.

The filming ended at this time, from the beginning of studying hard to the end of Zhongju exactly echoing each other.

At the same time, it was also written in the script that Hong Yi discovered that his father Hong Xuanji was very dissatisfied with him and even had the intention to kill him. However, he did not take action because of the arrival of Concubine Yuan.

And the story of Hong Yi discovering the true identity of his mother Meng Bingyun and the fact that she was killed by Hong Xuanji and Mrs. Zhao, paving the way for the enmity between father and son.

In addition, the first season also explained the cultivation system visualization, spirit, Taoism, martial arts and other settings of the whole play, as well as the huge world view.

It leads to the cultivation sects such as Fang Xiandao, Wusheng Dao, Vacuum Dao, Taishang Dao, Tao Shendao, as well as the settings of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, Xuewen Steel, Shenfeng Kingdom, and Yunmeng Kingdom.

In the last scene, Hong Yi succeeds in winning the exam, but Hong Xuanji fails to suppress it, which can also whet the appetite of the audience and prepare for the second season. It is quite like a starting point writer.

The shooting of the entire first season was actually relatively simple, and the most expensive part was the special effects.

But even the special effects scenes are not many, and the scenes are not big enough.

The biggest special effect scene is naturally to shoot the scene of the Dazen Temple being wiped out, which was only briefly mentioned in the original work.

The second is the few battles that Hong Yi practiced at the beginning.

Once, because she got to know Luo Yun, the princess of Zhennan, and invited her to the Hou Mansion to make a splash, which aroused fear in the mansion.

Then Hong Yi practiced to the realm of day travel, and found that he was being watched by Mrs. Zhao's Madam Zeng. Become a muddleheaded fool.

However, Grandma Zeng is a little bit weaker in spiritual cultivation.

Hong Yi visualized King Yaksha destroying his soul, his soul was extinguished, and he died completely.

One time, Vacuum Dao sent five masters to kill Hong Xuanji.

Four of them were discovered immediately after entering the Hou Mansion and were strangled by the guards of the Hou Mansion. The last Taoist master, seeing this situation, immediately wanted to use an 'Explosive Flame Talisman Sword' to assassinate them again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Hong Yi's soul appeared beside him to watch the battle.

The other party found Hong Yi's trace at once. In order to make a quick decision, he used the idea of ​​the sun god to roast Hong Yi. In the end, Hong Yi relied on the powerful recovery ability of the "Amitabha Sutra" to forcefully consume him to death. The 'Explosive Flame Rune Sword' made of large and small blood-patterned steel was also obtained by Hong Yi.

These three battles are the biggest special effects scenes in the first season.

In addition, "Yang Shen" is not like "Shading the Sky", which is a completely virtual scene. Many scenes in it can be found in reality.

Scenes such as Hou Mansion, Imperial Palace, ancient streets, Yujing City, Sanhualou, Fangxian Taoist Temple, and imperial examination room all have similar real scenes in Longguo.

However, these are matters for the field management and outreach teams.

After the script is released, Zhang Yang will naturally send someone to contact suitable filming locations in China.

[It would be great if I had my own film and television base. 】

Thinking of the shooting location, Zhang Yang couldn't help sighing.

Although Haihua has a large number of film and television companies, there are also people who build film and television bases around the city.

However, these film and television bases are a combination of the chaotic era decades ago and the style of Southeast Asia, and are not suitable for shooting scenes of fantasy and ancient costumes.

Most of the costume scenes are in Shudian or other cities, which are very far away from Haihua.

This also means that the transportation expenses of hundreds of people in the crew, as well as the transportation expenses of filming equipment, props, and costumes are a lot of money.

He thought it would be best if he could build a film and television base in Haihua.

To be honest, he was a little interested in Gongxing's film and television base before.

It was really that the conditions in all aspects were too poor, the transportation was poor and it was too remote. It was a bit useless, so I gave up.

If that piece of land is in Haihua, Zhang Yang will definitely take it with all his strength.

As for now, there is nothing he can do.

The next key task is definitely to shoot three major dramas, and the idea of ​​a film and television base can only be shelved for the time being and not considered.

After reading three scripts, it’s already past get off work time.

All departments of Xuanyu have been dispersed, and the entire company is empty. When Zhang Yang led Fa Cai out of the office door, he was watching cats and mice in the room, and he was surprised to find that the lights in Lin Xiaohan's office were still on.

Pushing the door open, Lin Xiaohan was staring at the computer screen intently, working hard.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhang Yang expressed concern.

Hearing his voice, Lin Xiaohan raised his head and said with a smile: "It's the first time to take over the company's affairs, I'm a little busy, I'll wait for you by the way."

Looking out the window, the bright moon hangs high, obviously it is very late.

Zhang Yang felt warm in his heart.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." He looked at the time and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

Lin Xiaohan shook his head.

"Then let's go and eat."

Zhang Yang greeted.

Helping her turn off the computer and lock the door, the two drove to a shopping mall not far from the company.

He randomly found a restaurant to eat something to fill his stomach, and when he passed by the cinema, Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat.

"Shall we watch a movie together?"

"We make movies ourselves, what kind of movie do we watch?"

Lin Xiaohan was taken aback.

"Making a movie and watching a movie are two different things." Zhang Yang squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Besides, don't couples always watch a movie after dinner? Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't watched it yet. Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yang took her hand involuntarily and walked to the cinema on the top floor of the shopping mall.

The movie theater belongs to Wanda.

It's past nine o'clock now, and there are many young couples waiting inside.

Leading Lin Xiaohan, Zhang Yang looked at the electronic screen in front of him. There were information about which movies were available during this period, what time the show was, and the ticket price.

""Blocking the Sun", "Ancient Eucharist", "Legend of the Swordsman", "Nezha Comes to the World", "The Stone Monkey Is Born", "Havoc in the Dragon Palace"."

Looking at these names, and then using his mobile phone to search for plot information online, Zhang Yang looked disappointed and helpless.

He knew that in the first half of the year, "Shading the Sky" earned more than 80 billion at the box office and won the box office championship in May and June. After shocking the whole country, there was a wave of fantasy movies in the movie circle of Longguo, but he really didn't know It's going to be so ridiculously hot.

All types of movies that were common in the past have now disappeared, replaced by various fantasy movies.

Zhang Yang was very happy when he saw this scene just now.

After all, this is what he wanted to see, but this time he went to the cinema on a whim, which was really disappointing.

He could guess one or two of the titles of these movies just by thinking about them. Obviously, they were all following the trend, and they were all out for quick money, without sincerity.

Such works as "Blocking the Sun" and "The Ancient Eucharist" are obviously based on the popularity of "Blocking the Sky", and he doesn't even need to look it up to know.

Taking a chance, Zhang Yang entered the title of the film in Qiandu.

Looking at the synopsis and trailer of the search, he was completely speechless.

really.

The thick art style of "Shading the Sky" is five levels lower than "Shading the Sky" in all aspects. Few actors are capable, and the special effects are also shoddy.

Just as he guessed, once the name is changed, the others are copied and lowered. After the changes, it will be a brand new movie.

Moreover, in this case, it is difficult for him to even sue someone for infringement, and the other party may be eager for him to sue.

Just drag it around, hype it up, and the popularity of the movie will soar.

If they lose, losing that small amount of money can't compare to the box office revenue brought by the popularity, and the other party is very happy.

Winning, Zhang Yang wasted time and energy, the gain outweighs the loss, it is better not to sue.

Then search for films such as "The Legend of Swordsman", "Nezha Comes to the World", "The Stone Monkey Is Born", and "Havoc in the Dragon Palace".

It can be seen from the name that it is a plot found in "Journey to the West", "Fengshen Bang", and "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman".

Obviously, the producer is taking advantage of the upsurge of fantasy movies, taking materials from these fantasy fairy tales that have been shot down long ago, modifying them casually, and using them to make a lot of money.

Don't think about the plot, just do the special effects casually, saving time and effort, isn't it beautiful?
Looking at the special effects that cost at most one yuan in the trailers that were searched on the mobile phone, Zhang Yang was really powerless to complain!

What the hell is this?

At least put some thought into it!

If you want to shoot, just shoot well and take it seriously. What's the matter with this perfunctory attitude?

The things produced are completely unwatchable, how can I make the audience believe in fantasy movies?

"Or... let's not read it."

Zhang Yang's disappointment was written all over his face, Lin Xiaohan was so smart, he turned his head slightly, and immediately understood what he was thinking.

I have always wanted to revitalize the fantasy films of the Dragon Kingdom. I thought it would start to be revitalized, but it turned out to be all insincere things. How can Zhang Yang accept this phenomenon?How not to be disappointed?

After thinking about it, Lin Xiaohan consoled her: "After all, not everyone has a long-term vision, and the majority of people in the world are mediocre and careless people.

They only see the short-term interests in their eyes, and they can't see the longer-term scenery. Don't take it to heart, be yourself, and one day you will see the grand occasion you want to see.

Besides, it's not that no one is serious about filming.

Isn't "The Intention of Fist" filmed by Teng Gua and "Legend of the Swordsman in Shu Mountain" filmed by Mr. He Fu and Mr. Jiang the best examples?
They are the real film and television elites with sincerity. Even these people are following us. Sooner or later, everyone will follow us and create the picture you imagined together. "

She spoke softly, but her tone was firm, she held Zhang Yang's hand, and looked into his eyes seriously.

"Believe me, this situation is only temporary, and there will be such a day in the future!"
