fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 296 "Tongtian"

"I'm playing the villain in this movie."

Next to him, Wu Lang interjected.

CG movies are different from pure animation movies and require real people to perform.

When the two said this, Zhang Yang knew why they were at Gongxing Base.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Chasing Light started making CG movies.

The main reason is that although CG movies have their advantages, such as character images and special effects scenes, they are more expressive than pure real people or pure animation, but the audience has high requirements for CG movies, and the investment is huge, and the poor quality of the movie is very easy to encounter. Waterloo.

Moreover, none of this type of movie seems to have achieved a high box office.

Therefore, most game companies use this method to make promotional videos, which is extremely rare in the film and television industry.

"Why do you think of making CG movies? Didn't you not do this before chasing light?" Zhang Yang asked curiously: "I remember that the movies you produced before were all pure animation, and now this is...?"

"The resolution of the upper management of the company, and I also think that CG animation is the trend of animation movies in the future." Yang Yu waved his hand and said: "That's why I wanted to try to challenge this movie, but I didn't expect it."

Speaking of this, Yang Yu touched his nose with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

In the field of pure animated films, the technology of chasing light has been mature, and there are representative works. However, although there are not many domestic animation companies, there are a few, so chasing light wanted to find a new way and break into the CG industry.

After all, if this kind of movie is made well, the expressiveness of the picture is much stronger than that of traditional animation.

The picture quality of a movie that is comparable to a real person, and the character image that is closer to the real world are not comparable to pure animation in many aspects.

This is also one of the reasons why many major game companies use CG to make promotional videos.

Chasing Light's decision to make a CG movie is also based on this idea. In addition to opening up a new track, it can also allow Chasing Light to break out of the circle of purely animated films and become a leader in new tracks.

After all, even in the world, there is no film company that only makes CG movies. Chasing Light wants to test the waters first. If it performs well, it can even become the number one in the country.

Since ancient times, the title 'number one' has been sought after by countless people, and Chasing Light is no exception.

It's just that the idea is good, but now there is a little problem.

The investment in CG movies is too huge. To make a movie well, the budget far exceeds the investment given by Chasing Light. Although the funds are still sufficient now, Yang Yu has already foreseen the future situation.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Yang was around, in addition to wanting to get to know him, he also wanted to see if he could make an investment in Zhang Yang.

I attracted Wu Lang because I heard the other party said that he knew Zhang Yang, and it would be easier to talk to him if he was introduced by an acquaintance.

He glanced at Wu Lang and saw that the other person was just sitting there with the old god holding a tea cup, looking into the distance and saying nothing, and the embarrassment on his face became even more serious.

When Zhang Yang saw the scene, he knew there was a problem. He didn't like hide-and-seek, so he simply asked, "What's the matter? Director Yang, tell me what you have to say."

The hesitant Riddler, he is the most annoying.

A lot of things are still waiting for me in the crew!
Yang Yu pondered for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and took a sip of tea, as if to embolden himself, he mustered up his courage and said, "That's right, the movie "Tong Tian" is short of funds now, I want to ask Director Zhang, Is Xuan Yu interested in investing in it?"

investment?

It turned out to be the case.

Zhang Yang was stunned.

He didn't know Yang Yu well, and he thought that the other party came up just to chat and have a relationship, but he didn't expect to have other ideas.

However, he also has some ideas about animation.

Xuanyu has developed to the current scale, and has a certain strength in movies, TV dramas, and variety shows, but the animation has not developed much, and it has not found suitable talents. So far, it has not filmed a single animation.

He holds the copyright of so many fantasy novels, it would be a pity not to make them into animations.

The animation technology of Chasing Light is quite good. It would be a good thing if we can negotiate a deeper cooperation through investment and make up for the missing parts of Xuanyu.

Thinking of this, he simply asked: "Is the name called "Tongtian"? What is the specific content?"

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't explicitly refuse, and felt a little relieved, Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"The name is taken from Master Tongtian. It is mainly about the story of the Master Tongtian who saw that the disciples of Jiejiao were too dead and injured during the Conferred Gods. He set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation to face the other four saints. Wu Lang played the role of Master Tongtian."

Anyone who has read the myths and novels of the Dragon Kingdom can understand the story of the Lord Tongtian.

The sage of Jiejiao advocates that there is no distinction between teaching and learning, and intercepts the secrets of heaven. He is a teacher and brother with Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang. However, he was defeated in the Battle of Conferred Gods, and the disciples of Jiejiao were also killed and injured.

Not only that, but the Master of Tongtian is also one of the Three Purities of Taoism and has a very high status.

Chasing Light is now going to make such a movie, which is still a CG movie, no wonder there is a lack of funds.

After all, the dignified sages and the four formations of Jade Immortals are fighting against other sages. If that kind of scene is to be filmed, one can imagine the speed at which funds will be burned.

"Do you have a script? Show it to me?"

Zhang Yang frowned slightly.

The subject matter is good, but this subject matter is not easy to shoot.

The main reason is that Chasing Light Company is consciously building the Conferred God Universe, but the creation is not successful.

After several years of establishment, apart from "Nezha", the other "Jiang Taigong" has not performed well, and the plot has been modified, which does not quite match the audience's traditional perception.

In addition, the protagonist of the movie has a strong personal style, and the plot is not closely connected, and the integration is not close enough.

In addition, some of the characters in it are not the same as the traditional people's cognition. It may be good to release them separately, but to create a movie universe, they must be put together, so there is a problem.

For example, Taiyi Zhenren in "Nezha" is a fat man who speaks a dialect and has a very funny image. He is very impressive in the movie alone.

But in order to create a movie universe, the real Taiyi will definitely appear in other movies, and that kind of image may not be suitable.

Here the battle of the Four Saints is fierce, and each of the Four Saints stands majestically, with an astonishing momentum, without anger and prestige.

As a result, Yuanshi Tianzun's disciples sat down with this kind of virtue, which was a bit too disobedient.

In that way, the style of the whole film is broken, and the impact is really not good.

For example, when he shot the "Shadow" series, the characters and images in the movies and TV series are all consistent. There is no need to change the style from one movie to the next, so that it can be considered to be of the same origin.

So Zhang Yang wanted to read the script of the movie before making a decision.

"Brought it."

Yang Yu was already prepared and quickly took out the script.

"Actually, I also wanted to participate in the Fantastic Award for the filming of "Tongtian". The Fantastic Award has set up an animation category. This type of animation is not outstanding in our country in the world. On the contrary, Sakura Country is even more powerful."

"Several animation directors over there have already announced that they want to take away the best animation award. I believe Mr. Zhang is not willing to let this award fall into the hands of foreigners, right?"
