Chapter 298: Commercial films for the masses

Fan Zhe continued to tell Du Zhengde about the content of "Budo Master: Fire of War" in the private compartment of the tea house.

"The story will be set after the protagonist participates in the battle for the title of ‘Grandmaster’ and the eternal battle with the ‘God Sword’ Road is over.”

"This part of the content is in the main show. We will cut a little bit of it and put it at the beginning of the film as a summary of the situation. Of course, this must be produced again to ensure that it can be produced. It matches the movie itself."

"After the protagonist Lou Cheng finished the battle for the title of'Grandmaster,' he received a message that Lin Que, one of his best friends and cousin of his girlfriend, had disappeared in the war-torn area."

"If you disappear in a war-torn area, there is a high probability that it can be equated with'death', but the protagonist has become a master of Waigang, and the art master is bold, so he decided to find someone.

"The so-called war-torn area is the collective name of many countries in the setting. It extends from the ocean in the east, to the south of China in the north, and faces the Nile across the strait to the west. The south is fast approaching the polar region. There are dozens of countries. The political power there is unstable. Today, there may not be tomorrow. The chaos was initially caused by regional hegemony and resource grabbing. When the powerful countries and the powerful are tired, they will naturally find a peaceful solution. Unfortunately, the United States, Being in Europe, in the East, and in the hands of all major forces, the chaos lasted for decades."

"Lin Que is tracking down an international human trafficking group rooted in the war-torn area'Tallinn'. They have destroyed many transactions and caused great losses to the other party. But it is precisely because of this that he has disappeared."

"In fact, this human trafficking group is also doing some human body modification experiments. They use special technology to transform the martial artists into a state similar to artificial humans and robots, and completely control them. After Lin Que was arrested, It is ready to be remodeled."

"The protagonist came to'Tallinn', started investigating Lin Que’s whereabouts from various clues, and traced it all the way. With Lin Que’s grandparents, two top powerhouses of the older generation, they found the enemy’s headquarters and ran into Many masters of cyborg were overthrown this evil group that was transforming people."

...

"The plot is probably like this."

After listening to Fan Zhe’s introduction, Du Zhengde frowned and thought for a while, and then said: “The setting of war-torn areas is more interesting, and you can rely on a certain patriotic feeling...but, listen to what you said, Including what I saw in the script, I always feel that the plot is a bit too simple."

"Yes." Fan Zhe said, "However, it was only after our research that we decided to choose such a story. One of the most important reasons is that it is very simple."

"In commercial films and action films, we still try our best to pursue simple and lively stories, stimulating and refreshing action fighting, plus our strong technical strength to make special effects. Here, we need a clear and smooth story for the plot. What a weird thing, there is no need for a too complicated story, that would be bad."

"I agree with you." It's not that Du Zhengde doesn't understand these. There are various successes and failures in various Western Hollywood blockbusters. Like this kind of movie that uses action fighting and visual effects as a selling point, it is not a good thing to have a complicated story. On the contrary, it is likely to become a factor that drags down the quality of the movie.

However, Du Zhengde obviously has some other views: "The plot is smooth and clear, which is inevitable, but the current script, I think it is a bit too thin. From the emotional point of the character, from the beginning of the story, it is the same. ."

"There is not much space for this part of the original work," Fan Zhe said.

"It's okay." Du Zhengde said, "When we make film adaptations, it is good to follow the original in some places, but in some places, some adaptations are unavoidable."

"We have to be cautious in this regard." Fan Zhe said, "We believe that it is important for film adaptations to follow the original work on the premise of having excellent original works."

"Well, don't worry, I understand this. I won't change the context of the big story. It's just a little bit more polish on the beginnings and transitions and the emotions of the characters. Then watch the rhythm of the film and add a few more battles. Including the mention in the script The plot with the'old friend' Vega can be expanded a bit."

Fan Zhe thought for a while and said, "Okay, the script adaptation was written by one of our screenwriters, named Li Qingzhao. You still have an impression of this girl, don't you?"

"Yes, didn't she also write the adaptation of the script for "Fantasy Three Kingdoms"?"

"Yes, you should communicate more when the time comes, but the final script, I will definitely review it again here."

"No problem, you are satisfied."

After solving the script problem, Fan Zhe talked about the style of the film: "Lao Du, we are not working together once or twice~www.NovelMTL.com~ The style of this film, I hope to be hard-line."

"When I was filming the TV series "Budo Master", the whole action design was also going this way, but mainly because there were a lot of youth campus dramas, the main battle was still in the ring competition, so the implementation was not. Very thorough. But this movie, the whole of Beijing is in the so-called'war-torn area'. We can make the movie more realistic, fierce, and hard-line."

While talking, Fan Zhe also took out a tablet, called up some pictures, and placed them in front of Du Zhengde.

These are some conceptual design drawings, all painted by Fan Zhe himself.

Du Zhengde has watched the TV series "Budo Master", so he can clearly understand that the styles of these conceptual designs that I see right now are somewhat different from those of the TV series.

When he was thinking about the movie style, Fan Zhe continued: "Also, I have a request, which is very important and important."

"You say."

Fan Zhedao: ""Budo Master: Fire of War" is a movie derived from a novel and TV series. That's right, but our target audience is not limited to TV series audiences or novel readers. We want to achieve better results. It’s not enough for us to please the fans of the original work. Keep in mind that this is a movie, a complete and independent work."

After a pause, he continued: "In other words, what we want to do is not a fan’s carnival, but a commercial film. We have to consider the feelings and experiences of all viewers. We must make sure, even if it is A person who doesn’t know anything about the story of "Budo Master" will not be able to read this movie anywhere."

"I understand that this is also my goal."
