Chapter 258: Each has a plan
Shen Lang joined the group chat because he was writing a new short comic, adapted from "Nie Xiaoqian" in the classic literary masterpiece "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
This is the name of the future release in the Mainland. After the Hong Kong and Macau version said hello to Shaw Brothers, they spent 1,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the signature rights of "A Chinese Ghost Story", so when it is released outside the Mainland in the future, it will be called "A Chinese Ghost Story"
.
As for the content, the main body is of course the 1987 version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but he added many details and supplements, such as improving the world view, combat power system, sects in the spiritual world, the underworld, the human world, etc.
At least Yan Chixia no longer goes back and forth with just one or two formulas, he even has his own origin and inheritance.
This also paved the way for the villains such as Zhiqiu Yiye in the second part, the old monk with profound magical powers in the third part, including the Black Mountain Old Demon.
Whether these characters are decent or villains, they must have their own origins, origins, and inheritances.
These details, elements, and backgrounds will construct a complete world view.
Now Shen Lang's adaptation of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has initially developed its own worldview. In the future, more branch stories can be developed based on these settings, and then the worldview and system can be further improved.
For example, the impressive Zuo Qianhu was naturally strengthened under this system.
Because in the new combat power system, martial arts can also become holy and can restrain Taoism, but they are restrained by demons. However, Taoism and Buddhism can in turn subjugate demons, and even evil spirits can restrain demons.
This can explain why Centipede Jing is unwilling to meet Zuo Qianhu, why Zhiqiu Yiye cannot defeat Zuo Qianhu, and why Yan Chixia, who is a master of martial arts, is so awesome.
These additions make the world in the comics more realistic and reasonable, and also provide a basic framework for mainland screenwriters and authors to recreate in the future.
In the future, they can create new stories based on this worldview. Characters such as Yan Chixia, Zhiqiu Yiye, and Zuo Qianhu can also develop separate works, and ultimately create an imaginary world similar to the Marvel Universe.
.
In addition, Shen Lang's comic can also be regarded as an enhanced version of the "shot script". As long as the director sets the scene and tells the story according to the content of the comic, it is enough to make a movie that surpasses the original work.
So he naturally hopes to make this comic into a movie, because even the script is omitted and he can just film it based on the comic.
This is the reason why Shen Lang joined the group chat. Luda just came over to join in. He just wanted to play a role.
But it's not that he has no ideas, he just has no interest in movies. He hopes to buy Jin Yong's copyright and make it into a TV series.
It would be best to find a way to cooperate with CCTV. How comfortable it would be if it could be broadcast directly on CCTV after filming!
"I don't think CCTV will broadcast too many martial arts dramas. This platform mainly broadcasts historical dramas, anti-Japanese and military works, and modern dramas that promote the main theme. Compared with these, martial arts dramas are not serious enough."
Wu Jie shook his head. I'm afraid Luda's proposal would not succeed.
If we only collaborate on one or two martial arts dramas, such as The Condor and Tianlong, which can promote national justice, then there would be no problem.
But if he wanted to show all Jin Yong's works on CCTV, let alone the Propaganda Department, he was not very supportive.
"I agree. We can cooperate with CCTV on at most two or three martial arts dramas. However, we can invest money in the four major classics. There are also some historical dramas and anti-Japanese dramas. We can also set up a company to co-produce with CCTV. As for martial arts dramas, let's cooperate with local TV stations.
, In the future, all provinces and cities will establish provincial satellite TV stations. We can cooperate with TV stations in Beijing, Guangdong, and Shanghai to shoot martial arts dramas, including the American Film Studio, and we can also cooperate to launch some long-form animation series."
Shen Lang also has his own suggestions, or in other words, his own ideas and plans.
"You also plan to set up a film company?"
Wu Jie asked at this time that he was just planning a development direction for these tool people, but how to do it would depend on each person's personality and tasks.
"I plan to set up animation film and television companies in Hong Kong and Shanghai respectively. The mainland side will mainly cooperate with the American Film Studio in Shanghai. This matter has actually entered the substantive negotiation stage."
Shen Lang naturally has his own plans. Although he plans to focus on the three major directions of real estate, supermarket chains, and movie theaters in the future, he also wants to promote the development of the animation industry. After all, this is the business where he made his fortune.
So he not only wants to set up an animation film and television company, but also plans to set up animation magazines in China and Hong Kong next year, with the goal of creating China's "Weekly Shonen Jump".
His "A Chinese Ghost Story" is planned to be launched as the front of the first issue of the magazine. In the future, "Little Football Captain" will also be serialized in this magazine, and a nationwide call for submissions will be issued.
"Everyone's opinions are good. I'm particularly interested in Jin Yong's drama series, but in terms of movies, we two brothers and sisters already have two scripts."
Luo Shengyang thinks it is a good idea to make Jin Yong dramas, and he also likes those. He will also make Shen Lang's "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the future, but now they have plans for the first two works.
"Yeah, let's talk about it."
Naturally, several people were very interested, including Wu Jie, who also wanted to know how the two of them chose their works.
He still left these matters under the control of the system AI, and did not interfere in the specific development of these tool people at all.
"The first movie we two brothers and sisters want to make is called "Dunhuang." The name sounds like a historical science and education film, but it is actually a story about tracking a group of cultural relic thefts."
Luo Shengyang explained the plot of the story in general, and Wu Jie understood it after listening for a while.
This theme is a combination of "Boxing Fighter" + "Tom Yum Kung". The main plot is that a group of local black sheep in Dunhuang and a cultural relics criminal group from Hong Kong use the excuse of photographing historical monuments, but in fact they cooperate inside and outside to carry out illegal activities of stealing national treasures.
.
Naturally, the British are behind this criminal group from Hong Kong, and at least the buyer is a British person.
This kind of plot involving internal corruption, theft of national treasures, and the addition of "Hong Kong" and "British" elements would not have been easy to pass the trial in the 1980s, unless there was enough backing.
The two brothers and sisters have this kind of backing, but it's not enough. Wu Jie and his second generation are still here to help. If you want to go through it, there will definitely be no problem.
The roles played by Luo Shengyang and Luo Shengnan in the plot are responsible for arresting and recovering stolen Dunhuang cultural relics. The reason why "arrest" and "recovery" are used here is naturally because a batch of cultural relics have been transferred to Hong Kong.
Therefore, this movie will be shot in a dual-main line manner. Luo Shengnan is responsible for investigating internal criminals in China and arresting gangsters from Hong Kong. He mainly faces domestic disciplinary officials, criminal police, evil forces, and gangsters from Hong Kong.
criminal gang.
In the plot, Luo Shengyang has to go to Hong Kong to recover a batch of Dunhuang cultural relics that have not been transferred to the UK. The theme is similar to the pursuit of elephants in "Tom Yum Goong".
However, the two did not learn from the plots of "Boxing Fighter" and "Tom Yum Kung" because there was really nothing to learn from those two works.
The original versions of those two movies are really unwatchable. Not only are the plots muddled and confusing, but the choreography of the action scenes is also a mess. Most of the fight scenes have no coherence or beauty at all, and they all rely on Tony Jaa's skills to support them.
place.
What's even more speechless is that almost all the characters have shown embarrassing disaster-level acting skills, including Tony Jaa's stiff face that is no less expressionless than Cao Rong.
But the most outrageous thing is that the camera use and editing are inferior to those in Hong Kong in the 1980s, giving people the illusion that they are watching a low-budget movie that cannot even afford film stock.
In Wu Jie's opinion, these two movies are really difficult to appreciate. In other words, Tony Jaa's movies are all at this level. Except for a few fighting scenes, which were shot quite well thanks to his skills, every one of them, regardless of acting, plot, or shots,
, the editing, and the soundtrack are almost all hard to swallow, including more action scenes, which are actually below the standard.
The most annoying thing is that there are many low-end plots in Tony Jaa's movies that insult China. The childish plots that vilify China are really disgusting. Who knows why the original plane is so famous in China?
The two brothers and sisters completely created their own plot, basically borrowing a theme, there are a few good fighting scenes, and the rest are all original plots.
Luo Shengnan was in charge of the domestic plot in the movie, and the filming location was mainly in Dunhuang.
What she wants to show in the movie is Baguazhang, which is her best skill. She must be gorgeous and beautiful throughout the whole process, and she must show light footsteps and dexterous avoidance. At the same time, she must also show the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of Baguazhang.
fatal.
Therefore, in addition to several fighting scenes involving one against many, Luo Shengnan also arranged a chase scene for her main plot. She wanted to show the parkour-style scene of "Violent Street" when she escaped.
In addition, during the investigation, she also had to demonstrate skills similar to flying over walls and climbing over walls.
These parts all refer to the "parkour" elements that are still new at this moment. In the future, this sport will probably be endorsed by Luo Shengnan.
Most of Luo Shengyang's plots are set in Hong Kong, but of course the actual filming location is in Guangzhou.
What he mainly shows in the movie is Bajiquan, and he must show a fierce and fierce style. The most exciting part is naturally the long shot of Tony Jaa in "Tom Yum Goong". This part is indeed worthy of praise.
, but he must fight faster, harder, and more fiercely than Tony Jaa.
The two of them even thought about it. In order to pursue the realistic and exciting fighting effects, they would transfer people from the Lanzhou Military Region during the filming.
But there is no need to actually transfer the Wolf Warriors here, as that would be a bit overkill. Just bringing in some scouts would be enough.
The newly established Wolf Warrior teams in the Lanzhou Military Region were selected from the outstanding scouts of each branch military region. Even the losers were elites who could fight ten. They randomly recruited a dozen veterans and added
The action direction of the two brothers is enough to make the action scenes of this movie surpass the level of all similar Hong Kong movies in the 1980s.
"Brother Lu, how about you play the role of a villain?"
Luo Shengyang arranged a big, super-resistant boss for his main plot. Originally, he wanted Qin Jian to play the role, but the latter firmly refused to play such a villain.
He knew that Qin Jian didn't want to be knocked down in the movie. If the two of them actually fought, Qin Jian would probably have a better chance of winning.
Wu Jie knew that this was not an "estimate". If Luo Shengyang really fought with Qin Jian at this stage, he would definitely be beaten.
Qin Jian has five-star physical talent, while Luo Shengyang has four-star talent.
At this stage, one of the two is a professional boxer who trains every day, and the other is an actor who mainly makes movies. Their fighting abilities are not at the same level at all.
Unless he upgrades Luo Shengyang to a five-star talent in the future, and then turns him into a professional mixed martial arts athlete, then there will be no chance of a fight between the two.
"No problem, just let me fight more handsomely and die more elegantly."
Luda didn't care about playing the villain, but he found it quite interesting.
Wu Jie also thinks it's quite interesting. If Ruda puts his figure in that position, the visual impact is probably no worse than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's guest appearance in "Game of Death".
"The villain of my plot is going to be played by Ji Chunhua."
Luo Shengnan chose Ji Chunhua to play the big boss in his plot. This guy just made people all over the country grind their teeth in "Shaolin Temple" and is one of the most capable professional villains in Hong Kong in the future. He is indeed very suitable for this role.
"You might as well give Lin Yaodong a role. I think that British bitch is very suitable!"
Wu Jie felt that Lam Yaodong should also play a role. The Hong Kong gang boss in the script of the two people was a gentle scum, and was set up as a loyal lackey of the British.
He felt that there were too many such characters in Hong Kong, and he could use more words to describe them.
For example, let them go into the upper class society, be polite, speak elegantly, and be fluent in English. The most important thing is that the tutor must be good. They must be the kind of being who can tell people how much higher they are than the richest people in China after a meal. Of course it can
