Chapter 307 Xin Zhao, Lux
Yuan Zhenshan's script is basically written according to the context of the fist, but it is filled with a lot of things.
This is inevitable.
Regarding this plot, the original setting of "Fist" may be less than 3,000 words. With such a little thing, there is no movie that can last for nearly two hours. There are a lot of details, a large number of characters, and a large number of branch stories that need to be recreated and filled in.
In addition to the content filled in the skeleton, there are also some changes to the original setting of "Fist".
One of the more important things is that the prince was almost executed by Urgot.
This is a plot mentioned in an official setting a long time ago, but it seems to have been deleted in the new version of the setting.
In the old version of the setting, Urgot was about to execute the prince, but was raided by Garen and killed. After his death, his body was taken back to Noxus, ordered by the lord of Noxus to be stitched, and then resurrected through witchcraft. Later, he became a hero "crab" more familiar to players.
However, this is not done in the new version of the settings.
In the current official setting of "Fist", Urgot is indeed an executioner in Noxus, but there is no mention of this story with the prince. The new version of Urgot was sent to an evil city called Zuan. There was a coup in Noxus. General Svein overthrew the former ruler and took office. Then Urgot was on the purge list and betrayed to Zuan's alchemist. After Zuan suffered all the torture, Urgot was transformed into a terrifying monster.
The script written by Yuan Zhenshan is based on the older version of the plot. Fan Zhe thinks it's nothing. It's actually better to use a hero in the original setting as a villain than to redesign a villain. And then he resurrected Urgot and turned it into a real killing machine, "Defying Chariot. Urgot", can he still be used to be a villain - or a protagonist?
Let's see how to set it up then.
Looking at this project, Fan Zhe was relatively satisfied with the story summary of the script submitted by Yuan Zhenshan, but he still put forward some of his own opinions.
"I think you are not a hero in LOL."
"The fist setting is not..."
"You can make some changes." Fan Zhe continued, "change it into 'Debang General Manager Zhao Xin'. This hero is also a popular hero in LOL, and is more east-oriented, which will help us achieve our achievements in the domestic market."
"But... is it appropriate? According to the plot, Zhao Xin was rescued by Garven II from the arena in Noxus, and then served as the king's personal guard until Garven III... According to the setting, he is not considered a general, right?"
"...Don't be so sluggish, it's meaningless." Fan Zhe rolled his eyes and continued: "From the content itself, to extend it, Zhao Xin's loyalty to Demacia is beyond doubt; he is a veteran of two dynasties, and he is likely to become a veteran of three dynasties, and his qualifications are no problem; his ability is no problem, he has set records countless times in the arena in Noxus, and he is a warrior with outstanding meritoriousness. What's wrong with such a person as Demacia's guard general?"
"That's right..." Yuan Zhenshan scratched his head.
"Also..." Fan Zhe continued: "We really need to fill in this movie with more heroes from the original game as much as possible. On the one hand, it can enhance the attractiveness of the movie. On the other hand, according to the contract we signed with Penguin, the more major hero characters appear in the movie, the better."
According to the agreement between the two parties, the heroic characters appearing in the movie will enter the copyright sharing pool of both parties as long as the scenes exceed a certain proportion.
Yuan Zhenshan took out the paper and pen, nodded in response, and wrote down the opinions that Fan Zhe said.
Fan Zhe continued: "I don't think the story summary submitted at the moment is big problem in terms of the main body of the story, but it lacks emotional lines. For a commercial movie, appropriate emotional lines are necessary. We need to let the audience have something to relieve emotions in addition to the adrenal rush battle, fast-paced plot and exciting visual effects. The emotional scene needs to fill in this part of the content, and I think you need to consider it."
Yuan Zhenshan thought and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
"I have an idea for this emotional role - use Lux."
‘Glorious Girl. Lux’, whose real name is Laxana Mian Guard, is Garen’s sister and a member of Demacia’s most loyal Mian Guard family.
But Demacia is a country that is extremely disgusted with magic. Wizards and magic are regarded as evil here, found wizards, or executed, or imprisoned, or exiled...
But Lux is an excellent light magician.
With dual identities in this character, there is a lot to be explored in this character.
"We should be doing Lux's independent movie in the future, so I hope she can appear in another part of this movie."
"If it's an emotional drama..." Yuan Zhenshan said, "Does it write about Lax and Garwen IV?"
"Or won't you write about Lux and Garen?" Fan Zhe laughed and continued, "You don't need to write it too clearly. In short, it's still useful to have an extra female character."
"That's OK..." Yuan Zhenshan continued to record the communication and exchanges between the two on the banknotes.
The discussion about the movie script lasted for several hours, and the two chatted quite happily.
After finishing the matter, Fan Zhe also made a request to Yuan Zhenshan: the screenwriter team must complete the script creation within half a month and come up with the final script.
Among them, it is estimated that it will take many modifications, and the task is still relatively heavy.
But the creation of the script is a very important part of the crew's early work. After all, not everyone is Wong Kar-wai, and if this movie, originally named "Demacia: Glory", was made into the style of Wong Kar-wai, it would be a failure.
In addition to writing the script, there are two more important parts of the crew’s preliminary construction work.
Looking for directors and actors.
Fan Zhe considered himself as a director, but in fact he was quite interested in filming, but... he was too busy with work and had too many projects on his hands, so he felt that he might not be able to get rid of himself.
Moreover, it seems that this movie will be a heavy industry movie.
The so-called "heavy industry film" refers to works that have relatively high production costs and are highly professional and process-based, and are distributed to the global market.
For example, Hollywood blockbusters are basically in this mode, and the most successful one is Marvel's superhero series.
Since it is a ‘heavy industry’, under the model, the so-called ‘talent’ is just a screw. It is indispensable, but it can be replaced.
Therefore, when Fan Zhe was looking for a director, he actually did not value this so-called talent, nor did he value fame. What he needed was that the director had enough execution ability and could complete the filming of the film with a professional attitude according to the prescribed process.
