Chapter 698: Swords take a different approach (One update)

Just when Chen Xiaotang felt that it was a dead end again, suddenly, a game appeared in his mind.

The male protagonist of the game is wearing a white dress and a white hood, without a trace, has superb murder skills, and specializes in assassinating the brutal ruling class. The elimination of evil has also become the "Assassin's Creed" that players believe in, working hard to save innocent people.

Yes, this game is called Assassin's Creed!

Chen Xiaotang's eyes suddenly became bright.

After his previous life, he loved this game extremely well, especially "Assassin's Creed" continues all the advantages of the "Prince of Persia" series. The protagonist is not only a quick martial arts master, but also good at various assassination techniques. In addition to the medieval European town style presented on the game stage, it allows players to experience the courage of being a white-clothed assassin. In addition to performing assassin missions, players must also collect intelligence on the street or accept mission commissions. The old nostalgia created by the game screen and the bustling crowds of people really have a good visual effect.

Unfortunately, such an excellent game has not been adapted into a movie for a long time. On the contrary, Bollywood in India copied a modern version of the action movie "Ultimate Weapon", according to the character style of this game. It has almost everything in Assassin's Creed. India's Assassin's Creed. The male protagonist looks a bit sorry for the audience, but the female protagonist is very pleasing to the eye, but the action scenes are still OK. In short, after watching this play, the audience who likes this game feels like thunder and thunderbolts are rolling, which is really uneasy and painful to watch.

Now, if you write the story of this game and shoot it into a movie in advance, and if the movie is sold as a top player, and then make it into a game in turn, what's wrong?!

Chen Xiaotang was excited by his strange idea.

Next, Chen Xiaotang further considered from a personal perspective, what angle should he take, who should direct this drama, and what the filming form should be done, is it romanticism, realism, or dog-blooding, or shocking?

Chen Xiaotang himself prefers movies with content. As for the subject matter, it can be said that it is super wide, including commercial, literary, martial arts, romance, and pure entertainment films. He also likes to watch pure entertainment films. In fact, as long as there is a shot to watch in a film, it will be valuable to him.

Since you can't remember the names of foreign films, directors, and production companies, you have no impression of them. Therefore, Chen Xiaotang also knows some particularly famous and some particularly off-the-scenes films.

For example, Stallone's "The First Drop of Blood" is a good film, especially at the end. The protagonist is a guerrilla soldier who retired from the Vietnam War. After returning to the United States, he was suppressed everywhere and was finally forced to go up the mountain to engage in sabotage operations. In the end, he caused chaos in the town alone. He broke into the police station, and he cried to his former commander and told his psychological feelings. Then, it was dawn, and he calmly put on his handcuffs and walked out of the police station with a disdainful expression on his face.

Compared to "The Lights Out", "The First Drop of Blood" is too successful. However, the first part of "The Lights Out" is relatively compact and powerful. Chen Xiaotang does not regard "The Lights Out" as a military academy defense battle, but discusses it as a conflict between the adult world and the ideals of young people. Generally speaking, when ideals and reality conflict, especially when this opposition relationship is between adults and young people, it is mostly a compromise between young people, because the social hub is ultimately controlled by adults.

Young people are also promising to fight for, such as love, study, future... no one will "fight for the sake of fighting", because such people are not sure what they have won. It is like the reason why wars are not for "fighting for wars". At the end of the "lights out", it makes people feel that the ideal persistence of the Diaobaoshan Military School for many days has become a boring action.

Chinese martial arts movies and novels are the most unique themes in the world. If we cannot develop it into a similar momentum as American western films, it would be a shame.

In Chen Xiaotang's opinion, there have been two very comparable martial arts films in Hong Kong recently, one is "Famous Sword" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and the other is "Decisive Battle" starring Liu Songren.

The focus of "Famous Sword" is two games: one to save people, and one to die duel. These two games are good because of the fast pace, no unnecessary dialogue and action, and the excellent editing. Among all the movies Chen Xiaotang has watched, the editing of "Famous Sword" is definitely the first. Apart from these two games, "Famous Sword" has no other tips.

Chen Xiaotang believes that "The Decisive Battle" and "Famous Sword" are the representatives of current martial arts films. The two martial arts directing films are the same person, but "The Decisive Battle" has a play to watch and is fresher than "Famous Sword". The editing of "The Decisive Battle" is slightly inferior to "Famous Sword", but the shooting skills are not inferior to "Famous Sword".

Directors from Taiwan and Hong Kong can also study their style: Zhang Che was a martial arts film and produced six generations of martial arts stars. However, in Chen Xiaotang's opinion, his films are similar - very stable, but the characters are not obvious enough. The early films are better than the present, and most of them are very heroic. If he had to film the "The Loyal and Martyr Yang Family" in his previous life, they would definitely be super shocking.

Hu Jinquan's films have beautiful pictures and sufficient rhythm, but not good enough. Sometimes it makes people feel annoying. His films are faster than those of ordinary directors of his generation. Chen Xiaotang likes his representative work "The Drunken Hero", which has a very special expression method.

Li Hanxiang is also a director of a fixed form, but he made great breakthroughs in "Wu Song".

Although the above three directors are all martial arts films, they walk differently. Zhang Che is a bloody man and likes to spit out blood in the play. The male protagonist is often dressed in white, with a rotten stomach, bloody, and eye-catching. Hu Jinquan is a romantic. The bamboo forest war in "The Legend of the Goddess" filmed by the future "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Li Hanxiang is a realistic man. He likes to shoot Qing palace dramas, which originated from his examinations and research on history.

The above three great directors do not meet Chen Xiaotang's requirements for filming "Assassin's Creed". Although they are really great directors, they are really famous.

In contrast, among the young new directors, Chen Xiaotang admires Cheng Xiaodong the most. Others like Anh Hsu, Tan Jiaming, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, and Huang Tailai are also good. Wang Tong's films have weak scripts, but he is well filmed, like a work of art.

Generally speaking, the new director dares to shoot randomly, but the old director has a deep skill and is also visible.

Therefore, Chen Xiaotang decided that if possible, the new director Cheng Xiaodong would be directed by this drama, and the route this drama took is romantic. Don’t forget that Cheng Xiaodong’s "Oriental Unbeaten" in his previous life was romantic enough!

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaotang no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the inspiration that emerged in his mind, Chen Xiaotang picked up his pen, brushed his brush, and wrote quickly.

Time passes minute by minute.

Chen Xiaotang didn't know how long he had been writing, but he felt that inspiration emerged like a spring, making him unable to stop at all.

Under his pen, an assassin in white appeared on the paper and gradually took shape...

Just as Chen Xiaotang was busy creating his new script, the Hong Kong media, which had already calmed down, was boiling again. There was no way, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was like playing a roller coaster, with ups and downs and no limits of excitement. However, this time, what attracted everyone's attention was no longer Magic Shadow Entertainment, no longer Tseung Kwan O land that had just been put into the project, nor was it the gossip of a big star, but the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards!

Since its establishment, this award, founded in 1982, has become the goal of all Hong Kong filmmakers. It has also become a battlefield for evaluating the true strength of major film companies and the true acting skills of various actors.

As an annual event in the entire Hong Kong film industry, the Hong Kong Film Awards have become the most eye-catching festival for almost all relevant people. On this day, not only Hong Kong, but also Asia will bet on this, watching the birth of new miracles!

But what kind of miracles will be there this year?!

Recently, Hong Kong TVB has been very popular, not only because they won the highest ratings in the prime time with a martial arts TV series "Little Li Flying Knife", but also broke the record of 60 points in history and created a new history; it also because they also snatched the live broadcast rights of the Hong Kong Academy Awards this time, and they are called one of the big winners behind the Academy Awards.

You should know that as an annual event in Hong Kong, if you can obtain live broadcast rights, it is equivalent to obtaining high ratings, huge profits, and increasing the popularity of the TV station in Asia and even the world.

As the behind-the-scenes boss of the TVB, Daheng Shao has always paid great attention to brand promotion, and with the help of the Golden Horse Awards, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

However, if you want to become famous and gain popularity through this, you must make great efforts. Shao, who has been doing business for a long time, deeply understood this point, so he, who has always been stingy, directly arranged this Golden Star Award at the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium with a stroke of his pen.

Renting Hung Hom costs a lot of money, which is inevitable for Daheng Shao, who has always been accustomed to thrift and thrifty, is a bit painful. There is no way, the richer the more he is, the more stingy he will be in some aspects. So Daheng Shao was thinking about how to recover the losses. At this time, he remembered Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang held a concert in the Red Hall. If he could be invited to be a guest at the Academy Awards for this free performance, it would be better.

Daheng Shao had a good idea, and Chen Xiaotang was having a good fight with him now, so it was appropriate to ask this kid to help him. He was an old man, so it was normal for him to show his feelings of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

So, Shao Daheng didn't care whether he was busy or not, and directly called Chen Xiaotang and said on the phone, "Be sure to invite you to the Red Hall to negotiate if there is an important matter. If you don't come, I won't leave."

Choosing, Chen Xiaotang is so miserable now.

While busy managing the affairs of the Magic City Cinema, and while busy writing the script of "Assassin's Creed", we also have to be like a mistress, and we will be at our disposal as we face our sixth uncle.

With the help of this, Chen Xiaotang considered himself a polite and good young man, and not to mention that Uncle Six even played tricks, this may be absolutely rare.
