The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 412 409. Pathfinder

  Everyone got together for dinner at noon, and then went home.

  Since several people drove the car, there was no drink during the banquet. This meal for everyone is equivalent to wishing success for the release of "Wandering Earth 2" in advance.

   "Xiaomi, come with me." Cao Yang greeted.

  Ai Xiaomi was taken aback for a moment, followed the boss Cao closely, and then returned to the company in the boss's big run.

  She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the words of Bomi Building.

  It turned out to be back to the company. Otherwise, I thought the boss would do strange things to her?

  However, Ai Xiaomi immediately slapped herself in her heart, and it is impossible for the boss to ask her to do strange things!

  ……

After the two returned to the office, Cao Yang asked about Bomi Pictures' future plans.

   "Now "Wandering Earth 2" is finished," Cao Yang said, "No matter what the result is, the new film and television will definitely be done? What are we planning?"

  Boss Cao always uses [we] instead of [you] or [you] to speak. This is actually a kind of speech technique, which can shorten the distance and reduce the sense of oppression, and make it easier for everyone to discuss.

  The most taboo thing to be a boss is to always hold the boss's airs, and make people feel that you are superior, then everything will be hidden from you, and it is very likely that the relationship between the upper and lower levels will be isolated.

  But Ai Xiaomi and him should not have this problem before.

  Ai Xiaomi thought for a while and answered truthfully, “We are preparing to make "Three-Body". Now that the two episodes of Wandering Earth have been filmed, it will be more difficult for Wandering Earth to dig deeper.

  It happens that Liu's "Three-Body" is quite popular now, and it is very popular in the science fiction circle, so we plan to use it as the second subject of shooting. "

   "Hmm." Cao Yang nodded, "This idea is correct."

  The "Three-Body" trilogy is Liu's pinnacle work. The first part was serialized in 2006. It has not been finished yet. In May of this year, the second part of the three-body series was released.

  This novel is very popular in the science fiction circle, but it is not out of the circle, so it is very suitable for film adaptation.

  In the previous life, it was very difficult to adapt the three-body system, because the worldview and related brain holes of this thing were really too big.

  So step by step, starting from the wandering earth is a better choice. After the foundation is firmly established, the "Three Body" will be more silky.

  Now Ai Xiaomi proposed to continue shooting the three bodies is actually a good idea.

However, it is really difficult to shoot the three-body, because the period involved in the first part is more sensitive, and the description of the three-body person is too abstract, and Liu likes to use the macro narrative method, and wants to make this movie land. , It's really not an easy task.

  Cao Yang and Ai Xiaomi discussed a little bit, and said, “Let’s do this slowly. It should be okay to spend more time sculpting the script.”

   "Hmm." Ai Xiaomi nodded.

   "What about the others, are there any plans?" Cao Yang continued to ask.

   "Huh?" Ai Xiaomi was taken aback for a moment and said, "Actually, I have an idea, I want to make a more unconventional love TV series."

   "Hmm..." Hearing the love drama, Cao Yang frowned involuntarily.

  Ai Xiaomi continued, “What I think is, suppose a female blood race has gone through thousands of years of sleep, and then wakes up now and meets a male protagonist. There must be a series of magical stories between them. This must be very interesting.

  The male protagonist lost too much blood in a car accident, and then met the heroine. She successfully rescued the male protagonist by feeding her blood to the male protagonist, and then the male protagonist’s body began to change.

In the TV series, the daily life is relaxed and cheerful, and there is no need for extra blood fights. At first, the male and female owners were forced to fake marriages because of mutual fetters. After they got married, they fell in love with each other through slowly getting along with each other... "

Ai Xiaomi’s idea must have been born for a long time, so I talked endlessly, and even many details are quite clear, including how the male and female leaders met, how they will develop in the future, what are the smiles and tears, and how Sugar...Wait, I'm very careful.

  Cao Yang listened, and felt something was wrong.

Huh?

  This plot is a bit familiar.

  Isn’t this a famous book written by a writer named Meng Sanwan in the previous life, called "What’s the Experience of Having a Wife of the Sand Sculpture Blood Race"?

  If you dare to love you, do you dream of thirty thousand?

  Cao Yang was taken aback, looking at Ai Xiaomi in front of him, his whole body was not good.

  But I think about it again. This is definitely a coincidence. Many people under the world have similar ideas. It is the so-called not completely new ideas.

   "Hey? What's the matter?" Ai Xiaomi asked him.

   "No," Cao Yang smiled, "It's good, you can make up your mind. Anyway, you are the CEO of Bomi Pictures, and I definitely support you if you can make your own ideas."

   "Thank you, boss." Ai Xiaomi laughed happily.

  ……

"Your ideas are very good, but I think so." Cao Yang frowned and said, "I hope that when our company is planning future movies, in addition to some more valuable themes, we can think more about it. frame."

  "Large frame?" Ai Xiaomi raised her head questioningly.

  "Have you seen "Iron Man" released in April this year?" Cao Yang asked.

"Iron Man" (IronMan) is a science fiction adventure film produced by the American Marvel Studios, adapted from the comic series of the same name, directed by Jon Feiru, Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow , Jeff Bridges and other starring roles.

  This work is also the first film in the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" series.

  The film was released in the United States on May 2, 2008, and on April 30, 2008 in mainland China.

  This is also a miracle. For the first time, Marvel attaches so much importance to the Chinese market and regards China as the premiere area.

   "Of course," Ai Xiaomi became excited as soon as he heard "Iron Man", "I went to the cinema to watch the IMAX version, which is old and shocked. Especially the steel suit, it's really cool."

"Very well, do you know the Marvel Universe?" Cao Yang explained, "There are many heroes in the Marvel Universe, the Spider-Man that was released before, the Iron Man now, the Hulk from a long time ago... these are all from In the Marvel Universe, they all seem to be independent of each other, but under the same worldview, if you want to integrate them together in the future, you can make an interconnected blockbuster.

  In Marvel’s comics, these superheroes formed "The Avengers""

  "Boss," Ai Xiaomi reminded quietly, "Spider-Man is no longer owned by Marvel. It was sold to Sony a long time ago."

   "I know." Cao Yang said badly.

  This feeling of being pierced in the bones is really uncomfortable.

   Ai Xiaomi closed her mouth immediately, "Boss, you continue."

  Cao Yang paused and continued, “The reason why the Marvel series is so successful is that in addition to the attractiveness of a single hero movie, there is also a joint Marvel universe worldview.”

  A single hero’s independent movie is equivalent to one chemical element, but when these chemical elements are added, they can combine with each other to produce many chemical reactions, which makes the value of the entire Marvel much higher.

  Now Bomi does not have such a thing.

   or "The Wandering Earth" can be regarded as part of Liu's system of past events on the earth, but it is also very far-fetched. It is more difficult to form a large network.

  If you want to expand in more dimensions in the future, it is basically impossible to form your own Bomi universe, or other larger-frame movie series.

   also means that it is impossible to produce enough influence similar to Marvel.

  This is what Cao Yang is more worried about.

  ……

  After Cao Yang’s explanation, Ai Xiaomi understood a little bit.

   "But where do we go to create so many Chinese heroes?" Ai Xiaomi is very confused.

  How many years did Marvel’s heroes be polished and settled?

  People Marvel started to build these superheroes in 195 years. Comics have been out for decades. I don’t know how many generations have been washed. Marvel’s superheroes have become household names in the country.

  Especially Spider-Man and Iron Man. How easy is it for us to recreate a Chinese heroic universe?

  Also distinguish superpowers from others.

   Ai Xiaomi feels that this is simply an impossible task.

   "You are not allowed to create a new superhero. We and Marvel feel that there is no advantage in this aspect." Cao Yang smiled and said, "I will show you a good thing."

   "Huh?" Ai Xiaomi looked confused.

  ……

  Cao Yang showed Ai Xiaomi a 7-minute animated short film made in 2004 by Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun, two college students of Tsinghua University.

  The name of the short film is "Big Fish and Begonia"

  In his previous life, in 2004, Liang Xuan had a wonderful dream, which was the original source of the creativity of "Big Fish and Begonia".

  In May of the same year, together with Zhang Chun, he put this dream into a 7-minute animated short film on the Internet, which soon attracted attention.

   Then in 2013, they launched a crowdfunding online and raised more than 1.58 million yuan from 3,996 netizens to make "Big Fish and Begonia", the most anticipated animated film in China's history.

  It's a pity to speak of it.

  The animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" can be said to be first-class in terms of picture quality, creativity, and dubbing and has reached international standards.

  Before the release, most of the domestic audience's expectations for Big Fish and Begonia were of the "Spirited Away" level.

  At that time, most people on Zhihu didn't pay much attention to domestic animation. Dayu might be the only domestic 2D animation that many people have watched in recent years. With fan publicity, naturally the expectation value is relatively high.

People who have been paying attention to domestic animation for a long time, such as many people at station B, are well aware of what domestic animation is like at present. At that time, domestic animation "Fox Fairy Little Matchmaker", "Under One" and "Soul Town Street" were already quite good. Most of the domestic animations are better than Big Fish and Begonia in the plot, because they are all adapted from popular comics, but the screen is really far behind, and it is difficult to attract the masses. The domestic animations are niche even at station B.

  At that time, the comics and novels industry was very hot. In fact, domestic animation is not short of good themes and scripts. What is missing is the pictures and dubbing.

  Many people don’t expect to see a good picture in domestic animation, as long as the story is interesting.

  At this time, a domestic animation film appeared suddenly, and the screen and dubbing reached international standards. It is conceivable how shocking it has brought many domestic animation fans.

There is no shortage of scripts, Big Fish has made up for the shortcomings of the picture and dubbing, and Big Fish Begonia has many elements of Chinese culture in it, such as the very classic Beiming Youyu, its name is Kun, and there are many mountain and sea classics. Elements, and Baihu Tujia Houses in Fujian...

  All of these let the audience at the time, especially after the Chinese animation industry lags behind the island countries for many years, see hope for the first time.

   Excitedly shouted, what happened to the rise of Guoman?

   There is nothing wrong with it!

  But the problem lies in the script.

  ……

  The animated film "Big Fish and Begonia" actually made several fatal mistakes:

First, the entire animation plot is actually relatively fragmented. It serves for creativity and insight, so there are strong traces of patchwork, but the advantage is that the various ideas in the animation are very amazing, such as Tujialou, two The links of the world, the sea of ​​clouds, and all kinds of magical creatures, although there are certain elements of mountain and sea classics, it can be seen that the main creative team has carried out a lot of detailed processing and transformation, and it is quite successful in terms of setting.

Second, the main line is too thin: Generally speaking, one sentence can finish the whole main line. The male protagonist drowned because he saved the female protagonist, so he became a small fish. A series of efforts were made.

  The line of love is too thin, and the love is too big, so that the heroine sacrifices the entire village for the hero, which is more poisonous.

  The second male has always paid for the heroine, and was not seen by her, so many netizens accused the heroine of being a green tea **** on the Internet.

  Third, the alienated feelings make the audience lack the sense of substitution, and it is destined to be a story that resonates with a few people.

In the movie, the director wanted to express that the hero and heroine is a kind of life-saving feeling, and at the same time there is a strong love in it. Unfortunately, 80% of the time in the movie, the hero is a fish, giving people a very strange sense of substitution. It's the feeling between people and pets.

  This also caused the players to be unable to understand why the heroine was able to cause the entire village to be flooded for a pet, and finally left shamelessly, leaving all the pots to the male second to deal with.

   Generally speaking, the main creative team has brains and has a fairly strong animation production level. Because of the plot, there are too many criticisms. This is actually a very regrettable thing.

   Taking advantage of the opportunity of rebirth, Cao Yang felt that he could reform.

   really opened the door of Guoman.

  After reading it, Ai Xiaomi's heart was surging.

"It's amazing. Although this animated short film is only 7 minutes long, I seem to see the shadow of Hayao Miyazaki in it," Ai Xiaomi said in admiration. "The composition is beautiful and the color scheme is quite good. The demeanor of an international master, the key is that this animation tells the story of our well-known Beiming Yuyu, whose name is Kun, which is really rare."

Okay.

  Cao Yang smiled.

  The short film at this time is still a little immature, at most it feels like a PPT, but some of the ideas and the creativity of the art structure can already be shown. When the real animation film is made, it will be amazing.

   Ai Xiaomi can see the shadow of Hayao Miyazaki from inside, there are still two brushes.

  "Huh? Boss, you are going to enter the animation industry!?" Ai Xiaomin looked surprised.

   "Otherwise?" Cao Yang said with a smile.

   "Awesome!" Ai Xiaomi gave him a thumbs up, "Mr. Cao, you are really far-sighted and ambitious. To support the rise of the domestic animation industry, you are really a living Zhuge."

  Cao Yang rolled his eyes, thinking that this person was speaking too fake.

   "You can contact this team," Cao Yang said, "We are shooting the "Big Fish and Begonia" animated film. Except for the script, everything else is controlled by them. We provide specialized technical personnel to cooperate."

   "Hey?" Ai Xiaomi's mind turned quickly, "What about the script?"

  "The script...I'll tell you, you write it."

Uh……

   "Awesome, boss, your script must be invincible," Ai Xiaomi quickly praised.

   "That's right," Cao Yang raised his head and asked, "Did I say why I wanted you to buy this team?"

   Ai Xiaomi's eyes twitched, "They did a good job."

   "System, have you forgotten what I said, big frame." Cao Yang said grimly, "I want to create an animated film series "Shan Hai Jing"."

  Now Bomi is not bad for money, or it can be said that now there is too much money to spend.

  Now Bomi’s film and television business is actually fragmented.

The   Shan Hai Jing series is a good entry point.

  This is also the direction that the previous life chasing animation has been working hard, wanting to create a new mythical cosmic story.

  The story of "Big Fish and Begonia" comes from Zhuangzi's Xiaoyaoyou, and incorporates many elements of Shanhaijing, which can be regarded as the first in the series of "Shanhaijing".

  In the future, many of the beasts in the Shanhaijing can be personified, or the elements in the Shanhaijing can be changed to form a series of movies.

  This is what Cao Yang wants.

  In the future, it will be extended from the classics of mountains and seas to make a series of Chinese mythological films. By the way, it is a dream to make up for some flaws in the previous life.

  Now Bomi’s technology is quite mature, and it is not bad for money, and it is fully capable of doing it well.

  After listening to Cao Yang's recount, Ai Xiaomi had a feeling of sudden realization.

   "Boss, Niubi! You are like Kong Ming alive, and you are very talented in your belly. I admire you too much."

  Since that's all, Cao Yang gritted his teeth and asked Ai Xiaomi to do "White Snake: Origination" as well.

   is regarded as the beginning of the mythology series.

  After he finished telling the storyline of the origin of the white snake and the basic settings, Ai Xiaomi was stunned.

   "It's amazing. It's a new story from myths and legends. The last part of the broken bridge is definitely moving."

  Now follow the three movies that the two people just discussed:

  "Three-Body" can be regarded as a continuation of the real-life 3D sci-fi movie, opening up the market.

  And "Big Fish and Begonia" is to open the door for future 2D animation movies.

  "White Snake: Origin" is a 3D animation, with different missions.

   is equivalent to several Pathfinders released by Bomi Pictures. As long as their path can be stabilized, they can stimulate a large box office and industrial chain in the future.

   "And we have a big advantage," Cao Yang said with a smile.

   "Huh?" Ai Xiaomi stared at Cao Yang with big round eyes, looking forward to the words below him.

"Our game has a very good foundation and can be used for movie and game linkage," Cao Yang said with a slight upward corner of his mouth. With a set of model resources, it can save a lot of money and sell it for two."

   "Wow!" Ai Xiaomi exclaimed, "Boss, you are really..."

   "Okay, I get it." Cao Yang waved his hand, "Xiaomi, your skill in holding people needs to be strengthened."

  "Good boss, I will continue to work harder. I will study hard after I go back."

  ……
