Chapter 731 The Great Director's Persistence
After hearing Zhou Xia's serious explanation, he turned to ask him what he thought, and Lao Mouzi couldn't help thinking.

Of course he understood what Zhou Xia said, and he understood it a long time ago.

But when you actually do it, sometimes the final result is not at all the same as the original idea.

Especially when shooting commercial blockbusters, various ideas from the investor, himself, and the team will always affect the final result.

The original "Three Shots" was originally a remake of "Blood Labyrinth" and wanted to be a thriller and suspense movie, but in the end it became a trifling and hilarious movie in people's eyes.

Another example is "The Golden Armor", which was originally an adaptation of "Thunderstorm", but what happened?

These not-so-successful experiences made him reflect afterwards, and felt that he really needed to be more pure, or more persistent, or even extreme.

Just like Zhou Xia and his team, they are determined to make a commercial blockbuster, to make a blockbuster of the Oriental fairy tale type, to make China's Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter...

But even if he agrees with what Zhou Xia just said, Lao Mouzi is still a little unwilling. The "Zhu Xian" that is going to be filmed now actually has a lot of creative space.

Lao Mouzi thought about it seriously, and after about 10 minutes, he looked at Zhou Xia again: "Does it mean that we don't do any digging on the original work? I already know the novel "Zhu Xian" very well. The reason why it is called Classic, more of a description of human nature in novels.

The redefinition of traditional righteous chivalry is no longer a single positive meaning before, but a secular "chivalry" that is combined with people's original desires, and even puts human instincts first.

The various descriptions of human nature, chivalry, love, good and evil in the book have a lot of room for development, and can be strengthened and perfected by the important characters in the play.

Take Taoist Cangsong, a key figure and an important role, for his various actions, cultivating evil ways, convicting Qingyun, colluding with the Wandu family, and seeming to be on the evil way, but in the end, the reason is not solved for himself, but for himself. It's for Senior Brother Wan to complain about the injustice, and to embrace his kindness back then.

If a special prop is designed, such as a bottle of life-saving medicine that Wan Jianyi gave him back then, or a magic weapon for body protection, it will be able to enrich this character and express his kind side, as well as his love for Lin Jingyu, who is close to him. Wan Jianyi is similar to the special care of his disciples, which can make this character more complete.

This arouses people's deeper thinking about this role, so that he no longer stays in the general image of personal kindness and disregarding the overall situation, showing a more complicated side of human nature.

Another example is the character Daoxuan, he is persevering, forbearing, scheming, and he always takes the overall situation of Qingyun and righteousness as the most important thing in his actions. He uses the most evil magic weapon in the world, the Zhuxian Sword, to do the so-called thing of eliminating demons and defending Taoism, but he does not believe the same. Zhang Xiaofan using the bloodthirsty stick...

There is also the character Lu Xueqi, how she chooses between right and wrong, her attitude towards personal feelings and love.Whether Zhang Xiaofan was with him in the end is hinted at the end of the novel, but it is not stated explicitly, which also represents another possibility.

There are also Linglong and the beast god who created the beast god. In addition, this fairy tale movie can also graft some traditional culture, so that some of our cultural symbols can be spread.

These can be done without affecting the plot and characters of the original work, and it can also enrich and improve this work. I think it can be done by trying.Zhou Xia, what do you think?

Do you ask me to direct this movie because you just want to use my advantages and strengths in the movie screen, then I can complete the task satisfactorily for you as an art director. "

Lao Mouzi said something from the bottom of his heart, but it was best to ask Zhou Xia as a joke with a wry smile.

"Director, I'm offended by these words. Asking you to be the director, of course, is to let you control the overall situation, but it's not just that, it would be a waste of resources."

Zhou Xia couldn't bear such words, he quickly shook his head in denial, and continued: "Director, I listened carefully to what you said just now, you really misunderstood me, I fully support what you said. "

"That's great, don't worry, I won't change the script easily." Lao Mouzi was very happy when Zhou Xia agreed, and assured him at the same time.

"Director, don't say that." Zhou Xia smiled helplessly, and continued: "It may be that we didn't have an in-depth conversation before, and we didn't clearly talk about our respective responsibilities. In addition, our young screenwriter is a bit young and energetic, so you have the opportunity I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

Now I can guarantee in front of you that on the premise of ensuring that the script is not easily modified, it is completely reasonable for you as a director to carry out secondary creation, add some details, and enrich the characters, and it is also your right and obligation.

And this is a series of movies, all the important characters do have enough descriptions.Take Cangsong as an example, your idea just now is very good, and you can handle it like this.

Other characters can also be enriched accordingly without affecting the length of the movie and making the plot lengthy.However, this will take more time for you, and the start date will be later. "

"Don't worry about this, it won't take too long. We mainly enrich a few important characters on the basis of the script, and fill some scenes with special cultural symbols.

For example, the Great Formation of the Four Spirits, these are also ancient myths and legends, which are related to totem culture, and can be more portrayed to facilitate popularization and dissemination.Isn't South Korea always stealing some of our culture now?

If each of us filmmakers and cultural people consciously spreads and publicizes our culture in our daily creation, then how can they come to snatch it? "

Lao Mouzi immediately said seriously.

Zhou Xia couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Didn't South Korea make Siling into their culture at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics?
No wonder Lao Mouzi always pays attention to form and shape, and has spread many Chinese cultural symbols in the world, such as red lanterns, big drums, Suzhou folk songs, ink culture and so on.

He also tried his best to show more Chinese culture in the Olympic Games..., his identity destined him to have this responsibility, obviously he was doing these things consciously.

At the same time, this symbol rich in Chinese culture also strengthens the influence of his films, which is indeed the best of both worlds.

"Okay, director, you are an expert in this area, you decide, but the one thing mentioned just now, the relationship between Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan, no matter what the original novel is, we finally hinted that it would be better to go together."

Zhou Xia finished speaking with a smile, and saw that Lao Mouzi was still thinking, so she had to continue: "The original book is full of tragedy. People are together.

But Baguio can't come back anymore, even if the pieces of her clothes are floating, it shows that Zhang Xiaofan has not forgotten her, but time will always heal the scars, we can't let two lovers die alone, this will make fans and movie fans very happy Big dissatisfaction. "
