Xu Ke is really in pain. For a long time, as a director, the most fear is to meet those too stingy boss. It''s really painful to meet a boss who only pursues the cost, regardless of the film quality. But this time, when I met such a forthright boss as Lin Feng, the smallest detail of forthrightness was demanding. I couldn''t stand it. Although it''s good for the film, it''s not bad, but it''s not a waste!
Tsui Hark is not one of those irresponsible directors. He thinks it is necessary for him to consider the cost for Lin Feng, but also for himself. Otherwise, it will be shameful to say that the box office cost of his films is not enough. But in the face of Lin Feng''s "big hands and big feet", Tsui Hark is completely speechless.
Of course, you can understand the eight boys in front of the "Xianjian inn" and the harmony of these houses and vegetable fields. What Tsui Hark can''t understand is that Lin Feng has to let "Li Xiaoyao" run to other people''s houses to find props. You say, this play is not superfluous. What is it? Can props have anything to do with the plot of the movie? Does it matter? What''s more, it costs money to make hemostatic herbs, tea eggs and garlic. Although these things are easy to make, they cost money after all. And it''s totally unnecessary!
useless! Tsui Hark''s insistence is useless! In the face of Lin Feng''s strong, Tsui Hark finally reluctantly agreed. No way, Lin Feng is the boss, and did not interfere in his shooting, just let him add a few scenes. Tsui Hark has no reason to refuse Lin Feng.
On the screen of the movie, I see "Li Xiaoyao" rummaging in the houses. From time to time, I can see "Li Xiaoyao" take out a "tea egg" or a "salt" and put it into his arms. See this scene, all "sword fans" smile. Once upon a time, the player''s first reaction when entering the game was to search around for things to see if he could find some props to "add blood" and "mend the basket". After all, if you want to get these things in the game, you have to spend money. If you can get them out of thin air, there will always be a little pleasure.
Looking around at the audience with a knowing smile, Tsui Hark shook his head. He really can''t understand what this scene is worth to make people like Lin Feng so much, even naturally smile. It''s incredible.
Lin Feng swept an eye, one side face tangled Xu Ke, secretly smile. Only real game players can find out the meaning of this scene, and the rest of us can never understand it. Of course, as one of the "protagonists", such theft, which is unreasonable, is very easy to be resisted by the audience of non game players. In order to make this part of the audience accept this kind of "legitimate theft in the game", Lin Feng asked "Li Xiaoyao" in the movie to leave a note in each stolen item''s home, that is, great Xia Ben took one of XXX today and gave it back another day.
On the one hand, it can satisfy the game players, on the other hand, it can satisfy the audience of non game players, on the other hand, it can highlight Li Xiaoyao''s outstanding and naughty.
Fortunately, the scene ended in just over 20 seconds, and then "Li Xiaoyao" came to the market in Yuhang town.
Hiss! Take a cool breath, all the audience exclaimed. Although the market is not big, there are only seven or eight stalls, but it is lively enough. The business is constantly shouting, as if people are really in the market. And everyone keeps talking, and these words are undoubtedly the words of NPC in the game. Now they are faithfully restored in the movie.
sigh! For all the fanatical fans of "Xianjian", it''s really touching to hear these words. There is a feeling that "Legend of Xianjian" has become a reality in front of us.
"Brother Xiaoyao, brother Xiaoyao, go back quickly, your aunt is ill!" At this time, Li Xiaoyao''s admirer, Wang Xiaohu, a child in the village, ran over and cried out anxiously.
Well, it''s time to touch the story of Xianling island—— Lin Feng muttered for no reason.
"What do you say, boss?" Lin Zhiling was a little puzzled and asked softly.
Lin Feng smiles. I''m a little too involved. I think I''m playing games. However, it also shows that this novel is faithful to the original. Although the plot always seems to be a bit slow and not compact enough, for game fans, the rhythm is just right.
Then the plot of the movie is just like in the game. After Li Xiaoyao finds out that his aunt is ill, he decides to go to "Xianling island" to seek a fairy and ask for elixir to treat her. However, at the gate of the inn, I met three Miao people. When I heard that Li Xiaoyao was going to Xianling island for medical treatment, I gave Li Xiaoyao a "Heaven breaking hammer".
See this "broken day hammer", Tsui Hark egg pain again. You said, this is a one-time prop. It will never be used in the future. Just paste a piece of paper casually. As long as the appearance is more delicate, the authenticity can''t be seen in the movie screen. But Lin Feng as like as two peas, he made a man''s hammer that was exactly the same as the game. He also carved the western style of the flower and spent nearly 1000 yuan. This makes Xu Kelian a black sheep of Lin Feng''s family.
Although the film is to strive for authenticity, but sometimes the time to be sloppy or sloppy. Otherwise, the cost of making that film would be too high and too wasteful. Many disposable props, do too fine is a waste of resources.
Unfortunately, in the face of Lin Feng, who is always trying to get rid of his miseries, Tsui Hark has to give in again and again.
The following story is very simple. Li Xiaoyao goes out to sea by fishing boat and finds "Xianling island" in the sea. However, if you want to enter the "Fairy Island", you must break the first labyrinth of the "Legend of swordsmen" - the lotus pond labyrinth.
This labyrinth is the first and the most poetic one in the legend of swordsmen. In the game, Li Xiaoyao steps on the lotus leaf, and the lotus leaf will follow a fixed route. Li Xiaoyao needs to find the eye of the labyrinth - six statues of Asura, and smash them one by one with the "heaven breaking hammer" given by Miao people, Then there will be a real road to "Fairy Island.".
But before that, Li Xiaoyao will encounter the first battle in the game, the frog guarding the lotus pond maze. In the game, Li Xiaoyao will attack through the turn system. In the movie, it can''t be like this. Otherwise, the pattern of the movie will be completely destroyed, and the rhythm and pleasure of the audience will be affected. Therefore, after discussing with Tsui Hark and "Taiwan Daewoo" company, Lin Feng finally decided to directly use computer special effects to let these "frogs" attack Li Xiaoyao, while Li Xiaoyao dodges and counterattacks.
On the movie screen, Li Xiaoyao holds a wooden sword in his hand and fights with "frogs". Finally, after destroying a few frogs, Li Xiaoyao upgrades. In the game, the dialog box will appear when Li Xiaoyao upgrades, but not in the movie. Therefore, let Li Xiaoyao replace the upgrade dialog box with a sentence, I''m more proficient in swordsmanship. At the same time, let the fight below make Li Xiaoyao''s "attack" slightly higher, so as to highlight Li Xiaoyao''s upgrade through the comparison of the pictures.
Amazing—— All the fans in the cinema can only express their excitement at the moment with exclamation. They didn''t expect that the movie would be so good-looking in the case of being faithful to the original. Although these dozens of seconds of images are computer stunt processing, but it is enough exciting.
Of course, what makes all "sword fans" look forward to is the "lotus pond labyrinth", which is the first and most impressive labyrinth of "swordsman".
As soon as the movie screen flashed, the music changed from the tense music in the battle to the melodious sound of the flute, and a piece of water color of the lotus pond appeared in the eyes of all the audience. The green lake, the lotus leaves and the misty fog make this picture beautiful and refreshing. It''s no exaggeration to say that the water color of the lotus pond is by no means worse than that of the elves in Lord of the rings.
However, although the picture is beautiful, all the audience are not in the mood to appreciate it. What they care about is the next scene - the lotus pond maze. In the game, Li Xiaoyao steps on the lotus leaf and then floats lightly on the water. What about the movie? What will be done with this special effect? Is it perfunctory or dazzling?
Tsui Hark forgot Lin Feng and sighed - black sheep!
At this time, Li Xiaoyao has already stood on the lotus leaf in the picture, and then he can see that the lotus leaf begins to float slowly on the water surface. Layers of water lines ripple outward with the flow of the lotus leaf. The ripples on the water surface are really amazing. I''m afraid that the best computer special effects in the world today are also like this. You know, the flow of water in the computer stunt inside but super difficult, easy to make such a realistic stunt effect.
Can let people simply can''t distinguish the true and false special effects, conservative estimate just this water mark treatment effect will cost millions of dollars. One ripple effect costs millions of dollars? That''s exaggeration—— Maybe someone will ask.
But in fact, this is the most conservative estimate. Just in front of you, you can see the lotus pond maze. The wind blows through the water ripples, and the lotus leaves float through the water ripples. You can''t do this special effect, which is worth $18 million each. And may not be able to achieve such a realistic effect!
Exclamation repeatedly, the public in front of this special effect are bursts of exclamation.
"Boss, it''s too wasteful to spend so much money on this special effect." Wu Zhaopu came up from behind and asked quietly.
In a movie, the real special effects should be used in those big scenes. Now, it''s a bit wasteful for Wu Zhaopu to make such exquisite special effects at the beginning. And the audience may not be able to detect it.
Lin Feng smiles mysteriously. He doesn''t speak much. He continues to watch. After the fairy bath is more worth looking forward to（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
