The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

The idea for the first movie of "League of Legends" sent by Penguin is to be the background of Freljord. The protagonist of the story is "Ice Archer Ashe".

Fan Zhe was not surprised by this.

Ashe can be regarded as one of the more famous heroes under the IP of "League of Legends". She was launched very early, and can even be regarded as one of the first heroes launched in the league. In addition, her background story, settings, and other things are also one of the many heroes that has done a lot more.

Moreover, the role of Ashe, left and right, looks really suitable for film adaptation. When ‘Fist’ set her up, it felt like he had directly set a protagonist template.

He grew up in one of the largest tribes on the Freljord Icefield. His mother was the leader of the tribe, and she was regarded as a princess. When he was young, he experienced hardships, but finally merged with the ancestral power contained in his bloodline, took up the longbow made by Zhenbing, and grew up as the war mother and leader of Avarosa, the largest tribe in the North.

The idea they hold is also very magnificent. In the icy and snowy world of Freljord, they want to establish an ideal country, settle disputes among many tribes, and strive to establish a unified nation. Every day they shouted ‘we are a nation’, ‘Freljord will be unified again’, ‘don’t treat kindness as weak’...

Such a role is indeed more suitable for film adaptation.

But this is not in line with Fan Zhe's previous assumptions.

In fact, when Ye Jiayi started to contact Penguin and Fist about the film and television copyright of "League of Legends", Fan Zhe was already considering this series of movies.

But the first hero he wanted to be was really not Ashe.

This is considering the story background of the movie itself.

The story of "Ice Archer Ashe" takes place in Freljord, a world of ice and snow. The structure of society is also biased towards more primitive tribal forms.

Fan Zhe felt that this kind of subject matter was not very suitable for the opening of the first book. The background world is not conducive to maximizing the attraction of the audience, nor is it conducive to unfolding stories in other contexts.

On the contrary, Fan Zhe himself prefers to do the story in the context of'De Marcia'. The protagonist uses such characters as Galen, Jarvan IV, and Xin Zhao.

Below the IP of the game "League of Legends", like the three heroes mentioned above, their popularity is not bad. What's more, the so-called'De Marcia' is the most famous force in the world of LOL, and it is also the most widely known.

From here, start to unfold the entire alliance universe, relatively speaking, it should be a better choice.

In fact, even now Fan Zhe has a rough draft of the script.

He wrote his thoughts in an email, and then sent it to Penguin.

"The story of the ice shooter Ashe and Freljord, I think it is not suitable as our first work to unfold the alliance universe. Of course, we will inevitably develop these stories on the ice in the future, but the first It’s better for us to do the concept of Demacia.”

He first pressed the development of the Ice Archer, and then wrote some of his own ideas.

"In my conception, I hope that the first work will be based on the war between Demacia and Noxus. The first story will be based on the growth of Galen Crown Guard and Jarvan IV. ."

"The movie will involve war, brotherhood, growth and heroic concepts."

"Of course, the most indispensable thing is excellent visual effects."

...

This is approximately an informative sentiment.

According to the agreement, the project production of the movie and the specific content are all determined by Dimension Entertainment. Penguin has the right to make suggestions. It's really not optimistic, and it doesn't need to invest, but Dimension Entertainment has the final say.

This was strongly requested by Fan Zhe and Ye Jiayi at the time, and Penguin agreed.

So, at this time, Fan Zhe used their power smoothly.

Penguin is a bit suspicious.

Zhang Yanping replied to Fan Zhe’s email, writing: “I can probably agree with your opinion that Demacia is more suitable for the first shot. We have also considered this in the past, but...” Freljord After all, the background of "Demacia" is different from that of "Demacia". If the performance of a movie with Ashe as the protagonist is not satisfactory, we can also open up the background of "Demacia" which is broader and more representative. Make another one to save the fate of the entire series."

After reading it, Fan Zhe smiled and said: "We have not considered failure."

Zhang Yanping was a little speechless when he saw this news.

Unconsciously, he remembered the last sentence left by Ye Jiayi during the negotiations in the Deep City: "This is what Dimension Entertainment paid for, and it is irreplaceable."

The expectations and feelings are exactly the same.

...

On the other hand, after Fan Zhe finished sending the email, he began to convene the screenwriter and design team.

Prior to this, Fan Zhe had no League of Legends in the company's next project planning ~www.NovelMTL.com~-after all, although we had been in contact with Penguin at that time, she hadn't talked about it yet. , This matter is not accurate, Fan Zhe will naturally not do this in the company's project planning.

But it's different now.

The project of "League of Legends" is very important. At the same time, the agreement signed between Dimension Entertainment and Penguin clearly stipulates that the first film work should be completed within two years.

Making a movie in two years, this time is not particularly stressful, but it is definitely not particularly relaxed.

You know, Dimension Entertainment has no accumulation of the "League of Legends" project, from the script to the design, all have to start from scratch.

The art aspect is the strongest place of Dimension Entertainment. In addition to acting as a producer, Fan Zhe himself will also act as the chief designer of the entire project.

A large number of artists were selected from various project teams and began to carry out a large number of content designs.

On the ‘fist’ side, there are actually quite a few conceptual designs about League of Legends.

However, there are two problems with those designs. The first is that the amount is too small. After all, "League of Legends" is a MOBA game. The concept of the world view is actually useless for the game itself. It is just an incidental thing after the game has become popular.

Besides, in addition to the small quantity, the quality... is not good either.

At least, in Fan Zhe's eyes, the current conceptual design of the ‘fist’ is at the same level.

——

Let me tell you the truth. Although I am an old LOL player and a fan, their art level, except for some outsourced illustrations, nothing else is really that way...
