Chapter 1,616 The scene that gave Tsui Hark a headache

Can the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" truly restore the scenes in the game? This is probably what all "Sword and Fairy fans" are looking forward to. In fact, it's not just the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy", all games

The target market for movie adaptations is the game players. Generally speaking, a popular game has at least 10 million fans, and if a movie only charges 10 yuan for admission, its box office will also exceed 100 million.

.

Therefore, this is also the reason why many classic games have been adapted into movies. For fans of their games, the most important thing is not the gorgeous special effects, nor the handsome men and beauties. Of course, it does not mean that these are not

It's important, but for fans of the game, what's really important is that it can be faithful to the original work. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful the film is, if it's not faithful to the original work, then what kind of adaptation is it? Isn't it just fooling the enthusiasm of the fans!

In this regard, there have been too many game-adapted movies that have made fans extremely resentful and greatly damaged their vitality. So, what will happen to "Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time? Will it repeat this routine or be truly faithful to the movie?

Where’s the original work?——In this newly built cinema in Yuhang City, 1,280 audiences are waiting to watch.

Lin Feng clenched his fists slightly, feeling unusually nervous. Although this was just a movie, for Lin Feng, it was the realization of a dream in life.

As "Li Xiaoyao" opened the door of "Xianjian Inn", an empty land suddenly appeared in front of all the audience.

Yellow land, the kind of yellow land in the countryside, the empty yellow land - Lin Feng exclaimed, this is the map in front of the "Fairy Sword Inn" in Yuhang Town that first appeared in the game. The filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

The team restored it to reality. Although this piece of yellow land looks very simple, in today's era of reinforced concrete, it is not that simple to find such a piece of yellow land.

You're working hard! - Lin Feng praised. This is the crew's working hard.

And then when he looked through "Li Xiaoyao" and saw the whole picture of "Sword and Fairy Inn" behind it, all the players in the cinema who had played "Legend of Sword and Fairy" all let out an exclamation. This is not the same scene in "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

That "Fairy Sword Inn"!

Hearing the exclamations coming from the cinema, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. This "Fairy Sword Inn" was built in the "Fairy Sword Theme Park" and was built by Lin Feng's name. It is based on the "Fairy Sword Inn" in the game at a 1:1 ratio.

It was built to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" more faithful to the original work and to give all "Legend of Sword and Fairy" a surprise. Now it seems that the effect is good. When the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is actually released in the future, Lin Feng believes

Will wait for more surprises.

Of course, to get this exclamation, Lin Feng paid a full 12 million yuan for this "Fairy Sword Inn". A scene that does not appear many times in the entire game cost 12 million yuan. For director Tsui Hark,

, it’s too wasteful and too extravagant. Even if you have to spend money, you don’t have to spend it here. You can spend money on the actors’ costumes, props, and post-production.

Indeed, what Tsui Hark said is correct. However, his position is different, and what he sees is naturally different from Lin Feng. What Lin Feng focuses on is not only the series of movies "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but what Lin Feng values ​​​​is even more.

A series of business plans developed around "Legend of Sword and Fairy". "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is just the beginning, and the subsequent "Sword and Fairy Theme Park" is also its continuation. There are more in Lam Feng's plans, more

.

Therefore, in Lin Feng's view, it is completely necessary to spend 1,200 yuan to build a "Sword and Fairy Inn". After all, the beginning of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was because of this "Sword and Fairy Inn". And with the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy"

With the popularity of "Fairy Sword Theme Park", Lin Feng believes that this "Fairy Sword Inn" will become the first place that all game fans want to see with their own eyes in the future. And "Fairy Sword Inn" will also become the "Fairy Sword Theme Park"

” starting point.

"Fairy Sword Theme Park" is by no means a theme park in the ordinary sense! - Lin Feng has always had a plan in his mind.

Of course, my thoughts at this moment are back to the movie. This Yuhang town is a very important town in "Legend of Sword and Fairy". It contains Li Xiaoyao's entire childhood, and it contains many beautiful memories for game fans.

For example - when "Li Xiaoyao" just went out, he saw a group of children playing a rope skipping game. While playing, he muttered: "Little Plum, I have high ambitions, I want to learn how to be a swordsman and ascend to the sky. I don't wake up even if I stand three poles in the day, and I am happy in my dreams every day."

Taotao.

This is a ridiculing poem called "The Hero in the Dream" in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". It was used by children in Yuhang Town to tease Li Xiaoyao, who wanted to become a swordsman. All players saw this scene in the game.

Every time, they will give out a knowing smile. The reason why "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is different from other games is that it is hidden in some poems spoken by these seemingly inconspicuous and useless NPCs in the game. Some of these poems are limericks

, but many of them can really resonate with people.

At this moment, the movie "Legend of Sword and Fairy" also truly restored this scene. When "Li Xiaoyao" walked out of the inn, there was a group of children skipping rope not far ahead, muttering this.

"Hey, you brats, if you dare to make fun of me, let's see how I deal with you!" - "Li Xiaoyao" shouted, pretending to go up and get someone, and several children dispersed in a hurry.

Leaving laughing.

This scene, in Tsui Hark's opinion, is almost redundant and not needed at all. Because the focus of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is on the three protagonists - Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, and Lin Yueru, more should be spent on these three people.

Money, this makes the show good-looking. Of course, Tsui Hark doesn't mean that supporting roles are not important, but that it is not worthwhile to spend money on such a supporting role.

For example, in this scene, eight children have to skip rope and recite poems. It is quite troublesome to get them to cooperate well. After all, they are children, not adults. Including the props and other things on them, it cost more than 50,000 yuan.

Yuan. A scene of only a few seconds cost more than 50,000 yuan. To be honest, Tsui Hark felt sorry for Lam Feng.

This "Legend of Sword and Fairy" (Part 1) took a total of 180 minutes, three hours. The scene just lasted for 13 seconds and cost 50,000 yuan. After all, this movie costs more than 40 million yuan.

.This is only the most basic shooting cost, not counting other infrastructure (such as "Sword and Fairy Inn") and post-production computer special effects. It can be said that this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" cost a total of 130 million US dollars.

Because of Lin Feng’s pursuit of these details.

However, what Tsui Hark thinks is not worth it, Lin Feng thinks it is worth it. Because this short 13-second shot is enough to fascinate all "Sword and Sword fans". The filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"

, Lin Feng’s first goal is to satisfy the “Fairy Sword fans”, and the second is to make money.

As "Li Xiaoyao" moves forward, there are houses in front of them, and beside the houses are patches of fertile fields. This is also a real scene portrayal of the game, and in order to perfectly match the fertile fields with the houses, the film crew had to wait a long time

When the "Fairy Sword Theme Park" was originally built, some grass seedlings were planted together. When it was time to take the photo, the grass seedlings stood up, green and beautiful.

Of course, in order to build such an idyllic landscape with fields in front of his door, Lin Feng spent another 100,000 yuan. Although this 100,000 yuan is nothing to Lin Feng, in the eyes of director Tsui Hark, this is nothing.

What a shame.

You said, what if there is no field in front of the door? Even the most demanding "Fairy Sword fans" almost brush this scene away. If there is no field in front of the door, will they make trouble? As for that! - Xu

Ke was quite dissatisfied with Lin Feng's attitude of making every penny go.

However, Lam Feng is the big boss and belongs to the management, so Tsui Hark can only obey. Besides, this kind of care must be taken to spend every penny. For the whole movie, there are only good things and no bad things. After all, compared with having these things and not having these things,

With these fields, children, etc., the movie will appear more substantial and the whole scene more real. But in Tsui Hark's opinion, the money spent for this kind of reality is really not worth it.

"Okay, Director Xu, don't sigh. Although it was very wasteful during filming, it will be a good thing for the 'Sword and Sword Theme Park' in the future. This will attract more tourists to come and play." Lin Feng

Laugh.

Xu Ke rolled his eyes at Lin Feng. This is not just the wastefulness of Lin Feng, there are more wastes. For example, originally these houses only needed to be simply built, but Lin Feng refused to do it, and Lin Feng insisted on making them imitate.

The houses in the game are so realistically restored 1:1. Although there are not many such houses in Yuhang Town, only 12, and the money spent is not much, only more than 1 million, but tens of thousands here, tens of thousands elsewhere, all

It's a good deal, but it's a lot. Originally, according to Tsui Hark's estimate, excluding post-production computer production, the filming cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" would be at most 40 million. In the end, 40 million was still 40 million, but it was not RMB, but US dollars.

A total of 8 times higher! This does not include the additional US$30 million in infrastructure funds later.

Thinking of this, Tsui Hark's balls ache. Of course, it's not just this that makes Tsui Hark's balls ache. What makes Tsui Hark's balls ache even more is that Lin Feng insists on adding some scenes in the movie, some of which, in Tsui Hark's opinion, have nothing to do with the plot.

It doesn't matter the plot.

For example, enter a private house—find props.
