Chapter 649 New Movie, Military Movie! (Second more please subscribe!)
After analyzing a lot of special effects, Han Sanping was also a little shaken. After all, he didn't know much about special effects. After hearing so much from Tang An, he felt quite reasonable.

Having said so much, my mouth is dry.

After taking a sip of water, Tang An continued, "Actually, special effects are not the main problem. There are very few movies in the world that can satisfy the audience with special effects alone. Whether it's actors or special effects, they are all based on the plot."

"A good story, even if it is not well-produced, can still satisfy the audience, but domestic audiences grew up watching "Journey to the West", but what about Zheng Baorui?"

The plot is rubbish, everything is in vain, no matter how good your special effects, no matter how good your acting skills are, no matter how exquisite your service is, it is useless. There are many such examples in China.

Watch and listen!

What you watch in a movie is the story, unless your special effects can make the audience ignore the pros and cons of the plot.

What's more, "Journey to the West" still uses the title of "Havoc in Heaven".

"A Chinese Journey to the West" is a big talk, as the name suggests, and according to the dictionary meaning, it is exaggerated.

"Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" is just a character name.

But using the name of "Havoc in Heaven" is tantamount to setting up a frame for yourself, and you can't help but change it a few times.

The audience has a fixed impression in their minds, and they already have a subjective impression when watching the movie.

It is an impression that has been ingrained in the mind for several years, or even more than ten years. If you want a movie to replace the impression in the audience's mind, then unless you change it is really exciting.

It doesn't matter that it is not always faithful to the original work, the TV series "Journey to the West" is not faithful to the original work.

Even "Journey to the West", which is now repeatedly replayed, has been castrated.

The 86 edition of "Journey to the West" should now have three editions. The 86 episodes of the first edition in 11 were piloted, and all 88 episodes were aired in 25. Up to now, the third edition on the Internet is regarded as the third edition, and each edition has different degrees. delete.

Part of the plot has been deleted, and there are a lot of dubbing and interludes.

The episode of "The Great Sage Troubles the Heavenly Palace" was originally "Born Without a Name, but Without a Surname", but it was changed to "The Great Sage".

The original lyrics are quite well written, simple and simple.

The episode "The Trapped Prisoner of the Five Elements Mountain" was changed to "500 Years of Vicissitudes".

These two songs are two different lyrics of the same song. From the perspective of lyrics, the lyrics of "How much he wants to be a grass" reflect Monkey King's yearning for freedom.

Although the lady's voice is a bit sweet, but the singing voice is matched with the picture, it feels nothing to say.

The lyrics of "500 Years of Vicissitudes" focus on Sun Wukong's 500 years of inner cultivation.

I don’t know if it’s because of harmony, but when you’re in jail, you should reflect on yourself and repent, instead of thinking about freedom.

In fact, there are many things in "Journey to the West" that are worth learning from today's fantasy, fairy tale, and magical film and television dramas, especially in stunts and fighting.

In TV dramas, there are not many fights in Havoc in Heaven, or basically none. Most of them are the expressions of Monkey King and the actions of gods. In a few simple actions, the audience feels not only anger, but also domineering ,arrogant.

No matter how beautiful the movements are, no matter how good the stunts are, they are only on the surface, and they play a supporting role. Too many stunts will inevitably be a "fake". If you can really do it well, it is an inner drama, which is "true".

Of course, it is icing on the cake if the surface can be done well, even better.

The problem is that it is not easy to shoot gods fighting. When it is not good, you should learn the method in "Journey to the West", and use the expressions and actions of the characters to enhance the atmosphere.

"Let's put it this way, Director Han, full CG special effects are easily distorted. I haven't seen the actors live and don't comment much, but Zheng Baorui absolutely can't understand the "Havoc in Heaven" in the minds of our mainland audiences, because he didn't watch "Havoc in Heaven" since he was a child. Journey to the West grew up."

"The special effects, characters, and plot cannot satisfy the audience, so it must be a failed work."

Tang An set the tone for the film, very firmly, and "Havoc in Heaven" is also true.

In comparison, "Three Dozens of Bones" can at least be regarded as a commercial blockbuster on the qualified line.

In terms of the plot, three fights against the Bone Demon were achieved, and some changes did not change the main line, which the audience could accept.

As for the characters, Xiao Shenyang is quite funny, and Gong Li is a bright spot.

In terms of special effects, "Havoc in Heaven" cannot be described as bad, but "distortion".

Zheng Baorui learned his lesson this time, instead of using full CG production, he used a lot of real scenes, combined with CG to make it more realistic.

Therefore, the contrast between the two films is so great.

After hearing so much, Han Sanping was persuaded by Tang An.

Although he is also a director, he has not been a director for many years. In this regard, Tang An is an expert.

But he wondered again, "If "Havoc in Heaven" can't be changed, is it possible that "The Return of the Great Sage" can be done well?"

Tang An nodded, "Of course, I'll check it out when I have time. This time will be a watershed moment for domestic animation."

"Are you really that confident?"

Han Sanping was really surprised, more than once.

In the 囧 series, Xu Zheng was replaced, and a new crew was used to shoot "Detective Chinatown", and it was also marked with the signboard of "Tai囧".

Everyone thought the series was going to be ruined like this.

As a result, not only was it not destroyed, but it broke through one billion in one fell swoop, and on the basis of the 囧 series, the "Detective Chinatown" series was separated, plus the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, sitting on three golden mountains.

I found a new director to compete with Teng Huatao's new film, but no one was optimistic about it, but I won, and it was a big victory.

There is also "Wolf Warrior", which before it was released boasted that it would surpass "Tomb Raider Notes".

As a result, Wu Jing, who became a monk on the way, really brought this modern military film to kill the popular adventure blockbuster.

It's okay to say that I have confidence in the films I made, but these films are all other people's, and they are so accurate every time.

What a monster, I don't know where Tang An got such confidence.

Tang An said with a smile, "Animated movies and live-action movies are produced in different ways, and this movie is called "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which is based on the second creation of "Journey to the West". .”

"Forget it, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much, as long as you know what's in your mind."

Han Sanping didn't say anything anymore, Tang An was not a kid in his 20s, so he naturally had a sense of proportion in what he did.

"The summer vacation is over, how about it, do you have an idea for a new movie?" Han Sanping asked with a smile.

Tang An was famous for his high yield, and some people even teased him behind his back, saying that he was a high-yield competition sow.

"Detective Chinatown 2" is tentatively scheduled for next year's New Year's Eve. Han Sanping thought, if Tang An doesn't want to release it next year, he should start preparing. It is estimated that next year's summer will be difficult, and the National Day file will be almost the same.

Tang An didn't hide anything, and nodded, "It's decided in North America to adapt a Disney animation movie."

Animated movies?

Han Sanping was a little strange, it was still a Disney animation movie.

"You really want to try all types."

"That's not the idea. I have several films released overseas, but because of skin color and culture, plus some racists, even if it sells for hundreds of millions, it will be difficult to be accepted." Tang An said with a wry smile. .

Even if Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have made their mark in Hollywood, they are considered Hollywood movies, and basically white and black actors make up the majority.

In addition, they are actors, and they all have their own characteristics. In terms of action, they can be accepted by overseas audiences.

But Tang An is the director. The core of these films is the director, and the actors can be replaced.

There is no comparison between behind the scenes and in front of the stage.

"Fantasy Forest" has only one actor, so it is not a big problem to use Chinese children, and the animals are basically more in line with the characteristics of South Asia, and the background is a little more oriental. This way, the remake is in line with oriental characteristics and has a wider acceptance overseas.

Film output does not happen overnight. Using hundreds or even thousands of films to subtly influence overseas audiences is not just for fun.

Tang An didn't bother with this issue too much, it was still early, and the artists at Tiangong Yicai were still drawing pictures.

Instead, he said, "This movie is estimated to take five years. It's too complicated. I can't rush it. I have to make at least two movies during this period. I have already confirmed one, but I need the support of the military."

"Oh, what subject matter, science fiction like "Edge of Tomorrow"? Or a military film like "Wolf Warrior"?"

The military was required to cooperate again, and Han Sanping also became interested, and stopped entangled in that Disney animation.

"Modern military films require the military to participate in investment and cooperate with filming."

"Similar to "Wolf Warrior"?"

"There is still a difference. "Wolf Warrior" emphasizes individual heroism. My idea may focus more on the team, and the background will not be outside the border, which is too restrictive." Tang Andao.

"You want to adapt "The Mekong Tragedy"?"

Han Sanping immediately remembered this movie. Ever since the success of "Wolf Warrior", Yu Dong had approached him to change this matter.

He persuaded, "I've already asked about this case. Although CCTV and the Ministry of Industry and Safety are already making TV series, the higher-ups still don't let go of the movie."

"It's only been two years. It's too sensitive for you to go to the Golden Triangle to shoot. It's not like you don't know the army on the other side of the country."

"Of course I know this. Last year Yu Dong wanted to make a film, and I advised him to wait for a while. What I want to film is not this, but a fictional story."

Tang An shook his head, of course he would not foolishly go to the Kingdom of Zhuang and the Golden Triangle to film this scene.

"Fictional story, how about you tell me?" Han Sanping asked.

"It's roughly a story of a special force of our country performing a mission overseas. When it returned home, there was turmoil in a certain African country, and the troops were ordered to rescue compatriots when they were in danger."

Tang An roughly talked about it. At this time, the conflict between them has not yet occurred. The conflict over the energy reform took place only 14 years ago, and it will be 11 months before the conflict triggers the use of force.

Anyway, this plot is not very novel and vulgar, so Tang An can't be arrested and dissected just because of a coincidence.

"This should work. It's not a big problem involving African countries." Han Sanping nodded.

The surrounding areas of Huaguo are sensitive, and the higher-ups will not open their mouths easily, let alone not a single individual, but a special force.

In Africa, there is no big problem.Many countries maintain friendly relations with China.

"But since we are going to shoot in Africa, it will take at least two years, and it will be released in the summer of 15?" Han Sanping asked again.

Tang An smiled, "About 15 years of summer vacation, but the preparation of this military film takes time, the actors need to be trained, military equipment, and the army. While preparing, I still have time to make another movie. The filming should be simpler. of."
