This star is too fierce

Speaking of spring breeze, Xu Krypton is actually even more so than Lu Bu.

He is one of the directors of "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World". The movie has exploded in box office and reputation, and he is also a beneficiary.

I have made both money and fame, how can I not be happy?

Although he has been called one of the "legendary directors of Hong Kong films", with his unique talent and endless creativity, he has contributed many classic works to the Chinese film industry, such as "New Shushan Swordsman", "New Dragon Gate Inn" ", "The Swordsman 2: The Unbeaten East", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Butterfly Lovers", etc.

However, his glory seems to have been fixed in the 89s and 21s. After entering the 2st century, "The Legend of Shushan", "Dark Man [-]" and "Seven Swords" were released three times in a row. "," fried leftover rice" tags.

He doesn't care if he has these things, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to get back to the top.

After getting acquainted with Lu Bu, he first restarted the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, changed his fate against fate, and got rid of all labels, and then co-directed "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World", reaching the sky in one step and creating glory again.

It’s no exaggeration at all, I can even wake up laughing while sleeping.

"Xiao Yu contacted me the day before yesterday and said that preparations for "Three Kingdoms: Chang'an Rebellion" have begun. Has the script been completed?" After chatting for a while, Xu Krypton started talking about business. He was not here for fun this time.

"Well, the scripts for the trilogy were written together, but the second and third parts were not yet complete at the time." Lu Bu replied.

"Is the boot time also confirmed?" Xu Krypton asked.

"It is tentatively scheduled for March. The specifics will depend on the actors' schedule and the construction of the scene." Lu Bu said.

"It will take four to six months to shoot, and it will be completed in September at the latest. Have you released the schedule for the rest of the time?" Xu Krypton asked again.

"How..." When Lu Bu heard this, he smiled and asked, "Have you finished the script for the new play?"

"I've talked to you before about the new version of "Dragon Inn" and the new theme of "Di Renjie". The scripts are all written. You can take a look first." With that, Xu Krypton took out two folders from his briefcase and handed them over. In the past, he knew that when Lu Bu accepted a movie, he would only see whether the script was attractive, and he didn't want to engage in favoritism. It would be best if he could cooperate. Of course, if he couldn't cooperate, he would wait until there was a better script.

"Okay, let me take a look." Lu Bu reached out and took the folder, then opened the first one.

[Title: Dragon Gate Flying Swords
Summary of the story: Three years after the Longmen Inn was burned down, Yu Huatian, the governor of Xichang in the Ming Dynasty, came to this inn to pursue the concubine who was pregnant with a dragon fetus and Zhao Huaian, who was resisting the imperial court. The coquettish proprietress Jin Xiangyu had long since mysteriously disappeared. , only the guys who escaped the fire were left to start again, waiting for the landlady to come back. The West Factory spies, the Tatar caravan and other people from all walks of life met again. The Border Inn, which was almost forgotten by the world, once again became turbulent due to fate... …]

Lu Bu took a rough look and then said: "This background setting is quite good, but..."

Seeing that he was about to speak but stopped, Xu Krypton smiled lightly and said: "No need to give me face, if there is any problem, you can just say it."

"A Chinese Ghost Story", "Legend of Chu-Han", and "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" have proven that Lu Bu's ability to appreciate scripts and adapt stories is very good.

Of course, good things should be adopted. He is not a stubborn person or a person who is indifferent to others.

After all, only if the movie is good can you benefit from it.

Lu Bu said: "Yu Huatian showed his profound martial arts at the beginning. The governor of Dongchang threw a tea cup. He looked disdainful and knocked the cup to the floor with his kick. The aroused energy smashed the tea cup into pieces; Then he added another kick, and the splashed floor fragments flew out, heading straight towards the door in front of the Governor of the East Factory. The Governor's face suddenly turned earth-colored. Before leaving, he exerted his palm force on the chair, destroying it like a bull from across the mountain. The last chair is a glimpse of the leopard, and in addition, in the last part, I saw Yu Huatian’s line was ‘It’s a pity that none of you are my opponent’, and everyone else also acquiesced to this fact.”

"These all show that Yuhuatian's martial arts is superior to everyone else, and he is the ultimate villain who is extremely difficult to defeat with force. Unfortunately, the thunder is loud and the raindrops are small. Yuhuatian's martial arts is only powerful at the beginning. The fright of the Dongchang staff, their own rhetoric, and the approval of others are actually nothing more than exaggeration of extreme martial arts, but they have no substantive results."

"On the other hand, Cao Shaoqin in "New Dragon Gate Inn" faced one against four in the decisive battle. He still managed to take one head and seriously injured the other three. He had an absolute crushing advantage. This kind of martial arts power made the audience fearful and expectant. The protagonists defeat him in special ways, thereby gaining the pleasure of watching the movie."

This conversation lasted for half an hour.

Lu Bu talked a lot. From the villain, to the protagonist, to the supporting cast, in his eyes, almost everything has problems.Xu Krypton listened quite seriously, because he knew very well that the core of script creation is "character portrayal".

Characters are not only vehicles for expressing emotions, they are also the main factors that move the story forward.

Therefore, the ultimate purpose of all good stories is to create characters. In classic stories, you may forget many details, but the characters successfully created in the film can grow with time and remain in the hearts of the audience.

Therefore, whether the film character image is successfully created or not is often a key factor in the success of a film.

As the script serves as the basis of the entire movie story, creating a vivid and lively character image has become a fundamental task in script creation.

After thinking about Lu Bu's words for a while, Xu Krypton said: "You are right. There is room for optimization. I will talk to Ji Ping again."

He Jiping, one of the screenwriters of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", is a mainland writer, screenwriter, and producer. He graduated from the Department of Drama and Literature of the Chinese Theater Academy. He has strong professional skills as a screenwriter. His representative works include "The Legend of White Snake" and "The First Floor in the World". "," Certificate of Investment", etc.

With this screenwriter lineup, to be honest, we shouldn’t just come out with a script like this. It’s probably too late.

Of course, what Lu Bu said is only his personal opinion. Xu Krypton and the others still have to hold a meeting to discuss.

then……

Lu Bu opened the second folder.

[Title: Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire
Summary of the story: Before Wu Zetian ascended the throne, he built the three-hundred-foot-tall Tongtian Pagoda. Before it was completed, murders occurred one after another. The supervisor Shatuo said that these two people were punished by God for touching the talisman of the Tongtian Pillar. Pei Donglai, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Empress Wu's personal Shangguan Jing'er, the bodyguard, was ordered to investigate, but Lu Li, the national counselor, pointed out that the case needed Di Renjie to investigate. Empress Wu issued an order, and Di Renjie, who had been in prison for eight years, was released and appointed as an imperial envoy to take charge of the case...]

Like "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", it is not attractive enough.

It's not about the characters here, it's about the story.

Logically speaking, if "Detective Dee" is used as the protagonist, the main theme should be suspenseful and solving crimes, but "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" is more action-oriented and magical.

The screenwriter is not Xu Krypton, but Chen Guofu and Zhang Jialu. The former's masterpiece is "Two Eyes" and the latter's masterpiece is "A World Without Thieves". They are also the screenwriters of the movie script "The Wind" that Yu Feihong selected for Lu Bu.

All I can say is that it falls short of the standard.

We talked about this script for another half an hour.

Xu Krypton listened to Lu Bu's opinions and went back to refine the two scripts.

As for Lu Bu, it is currently undecided whether he will act in these two dramas. He still has to read the final version of the script.

At noon, after having a meal together, Xu Krypton said goodbye and left, while Lu Bu returned to the crew to continue filming.

"You came just in time."

"what happened?"

"Look at this for me." (End of chapter)
