The days of filming in Azure Star

Chapter 83 Doubt
Ma Zhenyu couldn't figure it out, "Youth School" is obviously a very good drama, but why did Tang Bao's movie not pay attention to the plot.

If you don't pay attention to the extreme challenge of the plot, then what is the meaning of the movie itself.

Tang Bao doesn't really want to make a documentary, does he?
Ma Zhenyu's heart is still a little empty.

Documentary films these days, even with high ratings, are absolutely terrible at the box office.

Tang Bao shook his head: "What I plan to shoot is the process of the challengers challenging their limits. For this movie, I think, if possible, I will choose to shoot it all in real scenes."

Ma Zhenyu was stunned, he didn't know much about the extreme challenge.

But he has heard of projects like freehand rock climbing.When he saw this kind of news, he always felt that those who participated in the extreme challenge didn't value life very much.

Because what is reported in the news are often those who lost their lives in the process of extreme challenge sports due to accidents.

The live shooting means to be with those challengers and witness their process of challenging the limit in all directions.

Ma Zhenyu doesn't quite understand the content, but he can feel that if he wants to shoot this movie, it must be quite difficult for him to shoot.

If he wants to be with those challengers, Ma Zhenyu feels that this is more hypocritical than making a documentary.

Because in the process of filming, there are often many accidents.The horse fell, and the props got out of control. These accidents cannot be controlled.

On the set, it is impossible to guarantee that the actors are safe every minute and every second.

Like the eldest brother, he often shoots some difficult and dangerous shots in person.

For some extremely dangerous shots, no insurance company was willing to issue an insurance policy for them in the end.

It is so difficult to make ordinary movies, let alone a movie that focuses on extreme challenges.

The most important thing is that Tang Bao, who has this idea, also plans to shoot in real scenes as long as conditions permit.

This means that the difficulty of shooting movies has increased geometrically.

"Ahem, what's your other idea?" Ma Zhenyu felt that this idea really sounded unreliable.

Let's listen to Tang Bao's other idea first.

Tang Bao thought about it, and understood that what he said would make people feel unreliable.

So he said:
"The other movie, in my conception, is a fantasy movie with oriental elements."

"Oh? The fantasy genre?" Ma Zhenyu was a little curious. Regarding fantasy movies, in fact, in the past ten years in China, there have been no real fantasy movies.

The last Chinese fantasy movie was "The Legend of Shushan" more than ten years ago.

Now Tang Bao wants to make a film of this type, and Ma Zhenyu is very interested.

"What about the relevant plot? What content are you going to shoot?"

Because of the long history of Chinese civilization, the word fantasy appeared in the eyes of the mainland public very late.

After all, you are counting on a country where everything is recorded in historical materials, and you can imagine something that is unrealistic and exists in the spiritual world.

It was really difficult at first.

Although the term fantasy has become increasingly popular in recent years, it does not matter whether it is TV or movies.

In terms of photography technology and special effects production, there are always flaws.

For producers, the market for this kind of fantasy film is not huge, and the investment is larger than that of ordinary films.

With this money, wouldn't it be nice to make a few campus youth films?

It can make money, and it can be guaranteed in the market. As long as there are popular traffic niches in the film and television works, ratings and sponsorship are not a problem at all.

This is not as simple as making a fantasy film and television that is easy to be sprayed with painstaking effort.

Technology and cost are here, which is a hurdle that all film and television producers cannot cross.

"A Chinese-type fantasy movie, if this title is used, it will definitely attract the attention of a large audience. Of course, the premise is that you can show the audience something, otherwise your reputation is doomed."

Ma Zhenyu talked about the current status of this type of film and television works in the circle.

It is very simple to make a movie under the name of the name, and the promotion is also very simple, but the most important thing for this type of movie is its quality.

The storyline and most importantly the visual effects.

Tang Bao signaled that he understood: "Actually, I have basically conceived the basic framework of fantasy movies."

Tang Bao is going to reveal what he has bit by bit first.

"First of all, it is the background of this movie. Since it is an oriental fantasy, it must have oriental elements."

"For example, ancient things such as Shan Hai Jing and the Great Wall are used as background settings, which will make the audience feel more identified."

Ma Zhenyu nodded, and Tang Bao went on to say:

"Emmm, you can also add some elements that combine Chinese and Western elements. For example, international friends come to China to help? Of course, the way of this kind of assistance must first be that the other party is self-interested, and then they are influenced by the great Chinese civilization and integrated together. This Doesn’t that sound like a lot of fun?”

Ma Zhenyu was dumbfounded.

Tang Bao didn't have the time to observe Ma Zhenyu's expression. He was now thinking about how to tell Ma Zhenyu the plot of the movie, and chose some content that could make sense to tell Ma Zhenyu.

It is certainly impossible to tell Ma Zhenyu all the complete setting and world view now, after all, a complete story has been created in just a few days.

This seemed too unbelievable.

In Tang Bao's thinking, try to delay as long as possible, although the overall time is obviously not too long.

But at least it will be better than the current situation.

Tang Bao wondered in his heart whether he would always pretend to be very busy in the future to explain why his script concept came so quickly.

When the script is in hand, it will not appear abrupt when it is shown to Ma Zhenyu and other people.

Well, this requires a gradual process of getting them used to it.

These things flashed through Tang Bao's mind, but there was no delay in his conversation with Ma Zhenyu.

"Fantasy does not have an obvious reference in China, so most of the settings and plot scenes need to be conceived by ourselves."

"As far as I can think of, the main theme of this movie is resistance. Well, I think the word disaster is more appropriate to describe it."

"The background of the Great Wall in ancient times was used to resist foreign invaders, so this element can be added to the movie. We can make the Great Wall more magical, colorful and taller in the movie."
