Chapter 299 I know why Zhang Yi didn’t film "Zhu Xian" (Part 2)
Zhang Yi's version of "The Great Wilderness" was originally written for the movie. Many settings in it serve the movie, and his novel also gives people a sense of pictures. People who read the novel can't help but fantasize in their minds.
A "prehistoric" scene of your own.
The first part of "Prehistoric", "The Lich Tribulation of Prehistoric", involves many ancient Chinese myths and legends. For example: Pangu created the sky, Hongjun preached, Nuwa made humans from clay, Kuafu chased the sun, Houyi shot the sun
, Chang'e ascended to heaven, Gonggong touched Mount Buzhou in anger, Nuwa mended the sky, etc. There are even the origins of Wu Gang cutting down trees, the Jade Rabbit, Guanghan Palace, etc.
Moreover, it is said that these legends are connected to everything, forming a completed storyline. The story is logical, and after reading it, people will have an illusion of enlightenment.
So that’s what it’s like!
The entire novel focuses on the relationship between Hou Yi and Chang'e, which involves many legends. The book describes in detail the difference between the lich before and after his transformation, laying the foundation for future filming.
"Aren't you interested in Zhang Yi's novel again?" Shi Nansheng said to Xu Ke, who was working on "The Great Desolation".
"What's the point of looking at it? No one can get the copyright of this novel from Zhang Yi." Xu Ke said with a wry smile, "I know now, then why doesn't Zhang Yi make "Zhu Xian"!"
"You mean, Zhang Yi might turn this novel into a movie?" Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke and asked immediately. Although she knew that Xu Ke was interested in this novel, she didn't want to rate it so highly.
What Xu Ke meant in his words was that Zhang Yi did not film "Zhu Xian" because he wanted to film "The Great Desolation"!
"It's not a possibility. It's a certainty. The style of this novel is very similar to "Resident Evil" and "Jurassic Park", and it presents a strong visual sense. It's like a novel changed from a script." Xu Ke put down the newspaper.
, then shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about who is better or worse between this novel and "Zhu Xian". Let's not talk about who is better and who is worse when it is changed into a movie. But when this "Prehistoric" is made into a movie, it is definitely better than "Zhu Xian" visually.
"Shocking, and although it is an Eastern mythology, it is definitely more in line with Western tastes than "Zhu Xian". Especially the transformation of the lich is a highlight. In the West, there are legends of the transformation of werewolves.
If a movie is made, the transformation of the lich will definitely be understood by Westerners. But "Zhu Xian" is different."
"This is not a novel, is it just for the Western market?" Shi Nansheng said immediately after hearing Xu Kezhi's words.
"He is a genius. He presents ancient Chinese legends in a way that Westerners can understand. No wonder he has achieved such amazing box office results in the world of film. His grasp of Western audiences is feared among Chinese
No one can match it." Xu Ke said with some sigh.
"Can this novel really be compared with "Zhu Xian"? "Zhu Xian" can be hailed as a classic among Zhang Yi's novels. Especially in terms of love writing, it is even more amazing." Shi Nansheng asked curiously. She
I also watched Zhang Yi's new film, but I didn't study it as deeply as Xu Ke, nor did I follow it as much as Xu Ke did.
"Haha, the love story of "Ancient Wilderness" is definitely not inferior to "Zhu Xian". Hou Yi died in today's serialization, but he saved Chang'e by cutting down the osmanthus tree. And Chang'e spent time with him day and night, but she didn't know that Wu Gang was Hou Yi. Today's serialization
A few chapters, I don’t know how many people were moved to tears. Hehe, when Zhang Yi wrote "Zhu Xian", he wrote Baguio to death, and many book fans went to the newspaper office to make a fuss for a while. But now, I am afraid that it will happen again.
Many book fans are going to the newspaper office to cause trouble." Xu Ke said, hesitantly laughing, as if he was gloating about his misfortune.
"You have confused me." Shi Nansheng listened to Xu Ke's words and said doubtfully, "Houyi cut down the osmanthus tree to save Chang'e? Wu Gang is Houyi? What is this?"
"Hehe. There are many ancient Chinese myths and stories in this novel. Zhang Yi actually connected them to everything. The logic is very strong. It seems absurd, but there is no flaw. After reading it, you will
There is a way that things should be like this." Xu Ke said with a somewhat admiring tone.
Shi Nansheng still looked at Xu Ke doubtfully.
"Let me give you an example. In Zhang Yi's novel, the hero Hou Yi rescued the beauty and saved Chang'e. But when he rescued her, he shot Kunpeng's son to death, and Kunpeng was the demon master, that is, the son of the demon emperor.
The teacher. This teacher was unable to avenge his son, so he instigated his students, which led to the legend of ten days in the sky in Chinese myths and legends. Immediately afterwards, it naturally caused Kuafu to chase the sun. Kuafu chases the sun.
After he died, he immediately led to Hou Yi shooting at the sun, and Hou Yi shot at the sun, which led to a war between lich and demons. Then he led to Chang'e flying to the moon, Gonggong's anger touching Mount Buzhou, Nuwa patching up the sky, etc. Layers of advancement, cause and effect are connected, it's simply
It's perfect." Xu Ke said, a little excited.
"What you said has aroused my interest." Shi Nansheng smiled and said after hearing this.
"This is not a novel, it is definitely worth reading. This is the first one, and it can be seen from some of his previous descriptions that in this novel, he will sort out the entire Chinese mythology system. It is very likely that the Chinese mythology
The stories are connected together." Xuxiao smiled and said, "I'm actually very curious."
"This is not a novel. I have read some of the previous ones. It would be difficult to make it into a movie. Not to mention his special effects technology, even his investment would be an astronomical figure." Shi Nansheng thought for a while and then said, "You said Zhang Yi
Is he really going to make this novel into a movie?"
"Special effects technology is developing rapidly now. This is not a problem at all. As for the investment, do you think Zhang Yi can't afford the money now? He makes movies now, but he doesn't care about the cost at all. He just bought a movie company in the United States.
He dared to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make a movie. As a result, he made a lot of money. And now, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot "Jurassic Park". Moreover, I have some doubts whether he will make "Jurassic Park".
It will be a warm-up for "Zhu Xian"."
"Jurassic Park doesn't require his investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if that money doesn't include the money he bought for the island in the Maldives, it probably also includes the money for building a dinosaur theme park. "Jurassic Park"
The production cost of "Park" is estimated to be only fifty to sixty million US dollars," Shi Nansheng said immediately.
"A movie actually comes with travel, toys, games, etc. Maybe only Zhang Yi's movie can do that." Xu Ke said immediately.
"You seem to have a high degree of confidence in his new film. If the film is good, everything will be good. If the film fails, his incidental stuff will immediately suffer a huge loss." Shi Nansheng nodded, and then said, "Where did he come from?
This confidence?”
"Do you think his "Jurassic Park" will be a flop?" Xux Xiao smiled and said, "If it is a flop, he will no longer be Zhang Yi."
"Who can guarantee that the movies they make will always be popular?" Shi Nansheng said.
"He Zhang Yi can do it," Xu Ke said.
Shi Nansheng also had to admit that Zhang Yi has indeed not had a failed film, or in other words, a film that has lost money.
"Are you planning to find him to film "Zhu Xian"? Mr. Lin has promised to invest in this movie last time." Shi Nansheng suddenly thought of something and said immediately.
"He acquired New Art City and changed its name to Media Asia, hoping to build the reputation of the film company. But besides him, who else is willing to invest in this film?" Xu Ke said.
Xinyi City was disbanded early due to Zhang Yi's appearance, and was acquired by Lin Jianyue, who had returned from the United States after graduating from the United States, with the help of his family's strength.
"Why don't you ask Zhang Yi again? Nowadays, special effects technology may not necessarily meet the requirements he thinks, otherwise he wouldn't have filmed "Jurassic Park."" Shi Nansheng said immediately.
Xu Ke nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Yi's "Ancient Wilderness" has aroused great heated discussion since it was serialized, especially because he connected many Chinese myths and legends in a very logical way, which shocked everyone.
However, Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention to these things. He only knew that his novel had increased Mingpao's sales again. At this time, he spent his energy on "Jurassic Park"
