Chapter 1046 New Conception of the Story of "The Great Wall"
When Legendary Films is actually acquired, all the benefits will not flow to outsiders, so he and the company's screenwriter team can do their best to do a good job in this project
Regarding the "Great Wall" project, Zhou Xia had other thoughts a long time ago, but until now there is no mature idea and plan.

If the goal of acquiring Legendary Pictures cannot be achieved and the other party starts the "Great Wall" project, then Xiahua Film and Television will definitely start another plan.

Zhou Xia's current simple idea is to combine with the ancient mythology, test the waters for the follow-up company to shoot prehistoric-themed movies, and pave the way for the introduction.

There is no movie with a similar concept in the current market.

In the past, "The Love of Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Wars" and "Mythology" were more famous, but they still mainly talked about love.

Of course, "The Love of Terracotta Warriors" also incorporates blockbuster elements such as action, adventure, and fantasy. In terms of screen setting, plot setting, and rhythm control, it belongs to the best commercial films of that era.

Especially the moment when Gong Li walked towards the flames in white clothes, and smiled back, the shot was very beautiful, it is considered a classic shot.

In addition, "Mythology" is not bad, at least in terms of genre elements, it also does a good job of fantasy, action, and love elements, and has a great reputation.

These two movies are a combination of history. Although there are also some mythical parts involved in the 'undead medicine', they are nothing compared to Zhou Xia's current imagination.

Zhou Xia's main consideration is to combine prehistoric and famine myths, which basically doesn't have much to do with the main history.

There are too many people in China who talk and stand without back pain. As long as the film you shoot is really related to history, even if you declare that the story is fictitious, you will receive various comments from a lot of people.

Criticisms such as incorrect values, praising the emperor, and even engaging in regional discrimination and ethnic conflicts will be enough for you to buckle up.

Legendary Pictures' "The Great Wall" is filmed for foreigners, and the starring is also a foreigner. The story is also Hollywood's model of fighting monsters.

But because I want to please both sides, I want to take care of both domestic audiences and overseas audiences, the result is self-defeating. Not only some black technology in the script and the result of fighting monsters cannot withstand detailed scrutiny, but also the story is full of routines. So it's no surprise that the results are not good.

Zhou Xia's current Jane's idea is to combine the origin of the Great Wall with the legendary battle between Chi You and the Yellow Emperor.

After the Battle of Banquan, Chi You's body was divided into five parts and suppressed, but as time passed, in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States period, the war became fiercer and the murderous intent became more and more serious, and the places where Chi You was sealed began to be unable to resist.

Therefore, a mysterious person came out as a sorcerer and a strategist, and suggested that the princes build the Great Wall and continue to strengthen the seal. Under the operation of the mysterious person for hundreds of years, all the countries where Chi You's body was buried built the Great Wall. ,
In the end, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and connected all the Great Walls. On the surface, it was to resist the Huns, but in fact, it was also to permanently strengthen the seal on Chi You.

In addition, Qin Shihuang melted all the weapons and cast the twelve golden men to strengthen the seal against Chi You, which can also be connected with the legendary Zu Wu.

Of course, this is not a mature idea, and it is only one aspect.

In fact, even with the same idea, Zhou Xia has another idea about the origin of the Great Wall.

Chi You is the legendary god of war and war in ancient times. As the wars in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period became more and more fierce, the vassal states either wanted to become stronger and annex other countries, or they wanted to survive and continue the country, so they thought of using Chi You's power , so the Great Wall was built to revive Chiyou with the help of the dragon energy of the earth veins.

There will also be a mysterious person among them, and the true identity of the mysterious person can also be designed in two directions.

Generally speaking, no matter the direction of the two stories, Chi You is a tragic hero and will not be portrayed as a big villain. The real villain is the fairy and demon hidden behind the story.

Of course, this is just a basic idea, and a complete project copy has not yet been formed, let alone a script.

After talking with the two executives of the North American company about the relevant matters here, Zhou Xia left early and went to Yufei's home in Los Angeles.

Yu Fei was busy with the post-dubbing work of "Get Out Tumor" in China, and when she knew Zhou Xia was coming back, she came here early to read some scripts and at the same time prepare for the filming of the next American drama.

Zhou Xia didn't tell Yu Fei that she would be here today. After all, the movie will be officially released soon, and he has a lot of work to do, so this is a surprise.

In the summer of Los Angeles, before six o'clock in the evening, Yufei took a swim in the outdoor swimming pool and went out of the swimming pool wearing a sexy swimsuit. After returning to the villa, she heard the sound of the guard's report from the surveillance. .

Knowing that Zhou Xia was coming, she was overjoyed, and didn't bother to change her clothes, so she walked out with a white towel wrapped around her.

Seeing Zhou Xia stepping out of the familiar Cadillac, she also happily walked over.

"Yiyi, aren't you promoting a movie? Why are you here today?"

"Are you surprised? The publicity here is almost done. Yaya and the others have returned to China. I have something to stay here for a few days, so I came here."

Zhou Xia stepped forward and hugged Yu Fei's plump waist, looking at her elegant and beautiful face without makeup, she couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek.

"Really, then you stay for a few days." Yu Fei said happily.

"Let's stay for four days. I'm done working here, and I'm going back to start shooting a new movie."

The two walked into the villa while talking.

"Is the new movie "Detective Chinatown 2"? You said earlier that you would go to America to shoot a lot of scenes, right?"

Yu Fei asked with interest, which is why she was looking forward to it.

"Well, that's right, it's almost six o'clock. Do you have a plan where we should go for dinner tonight?" Zhou Xia nodded in agreement and continued to ask.

"No, do you have any? Do you want me to cook some dishes?" Yu Fei asked with a smile, she really wanted to show off the cooking skills she had learned.

"Since you don't have one, let me arrange it. Let's go to the restaurant of that Oscar dinner chef."

Zhou Xia hasn't been to the United States for a long time, and these few days are busy with movie promotion, so I don't have a chance to enjoy it. Today is just a chance.

"But doesn't that restaurant require reservations in advance? And how about we go out like this?" Yu Fei asked suspiciously.

Although this is in the United States, the identities of the two of them are still not suitable for appearing in public together.

"It's okay, let's go through the VIP passage and enter the box, so no one will see it." Zhou Xia immediately said proudly, which is also the reason for his proposal.

"That's good." Yu Fei nodded happily, and continued: "Then I'll go make up and change clothes."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave Zhou Xia and go upstairs.

How could Zhou Xia make her happy, grabbed her, and the princess hugged her up and said, "Don't worry, let's finish talking."

"Talk about something?" Yu Fei asked suspiciously, seeing Zhou Xia's narrow expression, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you in such a hurry, can't you come back from dinner later?"
