Chapter 486 Teng Huatao and 'Fortress of the Magic City'
Li Qian publicized the establishment of "Wandering Earth", and also spread throughout the Internet through the mouth of two or three hundred journalists at the press conference.
Although Da Liu has not won the Hugo Award, he is the most well -known science fiction writer in China. He is called the first person in the domestic science fiction.
Although "Wandering Earth" is not as famous as "Three Body", "Rural Teacher", and "Ballic Lightning", it is also a well -known mid -chapter science fiction.
Li Qian's preparation conference held in person, even if it is not a science fiction fan, I started to understand what kind of novel this is.
Just like the topic, the earth is going to wander, and at first glance, it is hard science fiction.
Whether it is science fiction or not, even ordinary fans, they are very excited to see the original work.
"Lying, Li Qian is going to adapt Da Liu's" Wandering Earth ". This is too difficult. Although the number of novels is small, the content is too wide, how can a movie say!"
"I used to make" Three Body ", I don't know how it was shooting. Now Li Qian has to make" Wandering Earth "again. We finally have our own science fiction films!"
"" Wandering Earth "is properly hard science fiction. I didn't expect to see domestic hard science fiction, and I don’t know if Guo Fan can shoot well."
"Watching the news is not to say that Guo Fan went to Hollywood to learn the industrial system of Hollywood in the past two years. Ken to calm down to study for two years, it should be sure."
"I think" Li Xian's Adventure "I think it is good, and I feel very sci -fi. I do n’t know which plot will be selected.
"That difficulty, I think there are two possibilities, one is to shoot the disaster, and make a science fiction disaster movie. Like" The Temple "," 2012 ", or shooting the rebels, it may be easy to shoot."
"It's really enjoyable," Three Body "," Wandering Earth "will be made into movies, as well as" Ghost Blowing Lantern "and" Tomb Raider ".
The picture is too exciting! "
"I just started shooting now, I don't know what to release, and I don't know when Li Qian's next movie is made."
"Yes," Wandering Earth "is not investing in four billion yuan. This kind of big production science fiction is definitely not so fast. Guo Fan is not like Li Qian's fast gunman. I still look forward to Li Qian's new film."
... ...
Li Qian's preparatory conference held in person, even if it was not his new film, it could invest in 400 million hard science fiction. In addition, there was the original book.
There is the original book, which means to know the rough story, and the earth's disaster, humans wander with the earth and finding a new homeland.
Then, then
Sporting a large production cost of 400 million production costs, the industry is also very concerned.
After all, compared to major companies with a lot of costs of hundreds of millions of costs, Li Qian and Future Film's films are basically medium -cost. The only big production "Ghost Blow Lantern" has not been released yet.
For the first time, such a big battle also made major companies look sideways.
However, the sci -fi film is not well -known at all, and people who know the way are basically not in the high position.
Compared to high -level high -level high -levels of major companies, those who are 20 or 30 years old can better understand the charm of science fiction than them.
Moreover, there is no more than a $ 100 million "Asura", which is not exaggerated compared to the 400 million costs of "Wandering Earth".
... ...
"" Wandering Earth "?"
Teng Huatao, who was holding "Dragon", was a little surprised. I did not expect Guo Fan to go to Mijian for two years, and came back to make such a science fiction production.
He has basically seen Da Liu's novels. Of course, the plot of the original "Wandering Earth" also knows.
If it wasn't for selling dog meat, it should be very eye -catching, and the scene would not be small.
Teng Huatao looked down at the book in his hand again, and there was no boring in his heart.
"Wandering Earth" has been established in two years. He didn't even think about the direction he had to shoot in the past half a year.
Originally, I planned to pick out the feelings of the bloody youth and young boys and girls in the book, and borrow a background to synthesize a movie.
But then Teng Huatao was a pity that the Three Gorges Dam and flooding the east menstrual scenes. If you think about restoring these scenes on the big screen, it will feel.
However, I think that the General Administration must have to kill this shot and stop again.
Now he is pondering that many places in "Dragon" are similar to "Harry Potter". Can they go in this direction?
However, there is still no clue.
This will see the news of "Wandering Earth", and which one hundreds of millions of dollars invested in "Ashura". Seeing this kind of heavyweight large scene, Teng Huatao's heart is a bit itchy.
Putting down the book in his hand, Teng Huatao paced back and forth in the study.
Suddenly, he stopped and turned to the bookshelf to find a few books.
All of his favorite parts in Da Liu's works, except for "Three Body".
After repeated consideration, Teng Huatao put them back again.
"Why!"
After sighing, Teng Huatao had no intention of thinking about the plot, so he put the "Dragon" back to the summer vacation.
However, when he glanced at the next door of the "Dragon" series of novels, Jiang Nan's other novel "Magic Cast Fort" suddenly stunned.
Then Teng Huatao thought about it slightly for two seconds.
After thinking about it, I called and took the novel out.
... ...
"Do you want to shoot" Magic Fortress "?"
Looking at the slightly excited Teng Huatao in front of him, Li Qian's voice unnaturally raised two tones.
"Yeah, I want to listen to Li Dao's opinion." Teng Huatao didn't know why Li Qian reacted so much, and said confusedly.
Li Qian also realized that he was too excited. He took the cup and drank hot tea, and was shocked.
He of course he has read the novel "Magic Cast Fortress", classic romance novels.
At the same time, the movie also watched it. At that time, I still pondered, which coin movie was shot by the rod.
Unexpectedly, I did n’t expect that it was taken by Teng Huatao. It is reasonable to say that he still has the level, especially the novel adaptation. As long as he gives him a good story, he can shoot well.
"Thirty -Three Days of Love" is pretty good, because of the advantages of the story itself, and "Waiting for the Wind" has no story at all, it is a travel notes. Teng Huatao himself does not tell the ability of a 90 -minute story, so
Step in the street.
But the story of "Magic Fortress" ... Okay, this story is really not good. The novel is not good for the story. It is a very successful and beautiful vulgar love novel.
However, there is no one who is so bad that the movie is rotten. Most of the places cannot blame the story itself. Li Qian once thought it was a amateur director.
"Didn't you still prepare the adaptation of" Dragon "before, how can you replace it with" Magic Cast Fort "?" Li Qian asked.
"The adaptation of" Dragon "is a big project. To do it must be a series of movies.
Of course, Teng Huatao would not say that he had no clue about the adaptation of "Dragon". He also saw that Guo Fan was about to adapt "Wandering Earth", so he temporarily thought.
"The original book" Magic Fortress "is really good. I like a romance novel that I particularly like." Li Qian did not ask how to change the target, and all came to himself. I must think about it.
"This is actually a romance novel in science fiction skin. How do you plan to adapt, is it sci -fi or a romance?"
"I think both of them are taken into account." Teng Huatao said confidently. In fact, this story is very easy to shoot and simple, that is, a love story in the background of the last days.
Then, then
Li Qian shook his head, "You should have read this book many times. The military common sense reserves weakly, and the excessive space opera elements in it make the science fiction attributes light and shallow. The so -called science fiction in it is just a background.
Create the doomsday atmosphere and enhance the entanglement of the protagonist's love and hate, and can not stand the scrutiny.
And if you have to have both science and technology and romance, first of all, you must set the science fiction worldview and background. It is fundamental that the original book alone is fundamental. You have to build a last -time background for the audience.
"This should not be difficult. I read" Wandering Earth "is almost the same, but more insight into human nature." Teng Huatao didn't care about it.
As for the latter such a long span story, a movie cannot be shot at all.
It seems that Teng Huatao didn't consider much at all. Li Qian doubted that he just wanted to shoot this.
Li Qian did not say that Guo Fan's background idea of "Wandering Earth" was a sci -fi style that is very different from Hollywood, which is in line with the science fiction style of China.
"Actually, I think this book is not suitable for adaptation at all. The whole story is too middle, that is, when you see human extinction, the heroine’s mind is still only the heroine. Jiang Nan laid a grand background, outside the outside, outside
Star civilization invasion, New York's land Shen, magic cannon, the entire human beings are living and death, but the actor is still struggling to send you text messages, whether the heroine really likes others or likes himself.
This is not a science fiction story in itself. Whoever did not like a girl in middle school, and then imagined the world destruction, and then came forward, it didn't matter if it was dead, and then the whole girl also understood your mind, and then liked you.
This story is like this.
I cooperate with Jiang Nan's writing very much to render the story of such a second two stories, but this style, junior high school students like to watch, suitable for adapting animated movies, but it is definitely not suitable for live -action movies.
In addition, the psychological contradiction that the novel is best at expressing is the most good performance of the movie. Looking at the history and movie history of human literature, I can say that the more psychological activities, the more difficult it is to adapt into a movie.
The novel is the most difficult to adapt into an excellent movie.
The original novel of "Magic Fortress" is an emotional novel described by a lot of psychological activities. It focuses on the protagonist's inner conflict, but it does not take any energy in the performance of external conflicts.
The role of the actor alone requires an actor with a sense of teenager and a film emperor -level acting in about twenty. There are few actors in such actors, and there are fewer handsome actors who are handsome enough. "
Li Qian mentioned a lot of difficulties in adaptation. He still wanted to persuade Teng Huatao not to shoot this. After all, it was really rotten.
However, Teng Huatao really refuted one by one. Although each solution is idealized and it is difficult to achieve.
, I can't persuade it anymore.
Can't persuade, Li Qian is too lazy to spend water.
Teng Huatao saw that he persuaded Li Qian, and he was very contented. After all, he could make Li Qian, a big director who could not pick up his thoughts, and said nothing. It was not easy.
He said happily, "Then I'll go back and think about the script first."
... Li Qian is really speechless.
Brother, this kind of sci -fi film must be prepared first, not the script, that thing is not in a hurry next year.
Now Li Qian really knows. Teng Huatao really doesn't know about science fiction films. If the science fiction of "Star Crossing", the script is more priority than others, but "Magic Cast Fortress", "Wandering Earth", one
The new background, all weapons, equipment, architecture, worldview ... Everything is brand new, that is different.
"Magic Fortress" is better, after all, the background of the story is in the Magic capital, but the other.
