Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Recently, "Prehistoric World" has grabbed almost all the hot news, and it couldn't be more popular.

With the launch of the "Prehistoric World" cartoon, it once again set off a climax among fans.

"Prehistoric World" is becoming more and more popular, which is a disaster for other game companies.

Many game companies are even planning to transition to something else.

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

Zhao Ye is discussing the possibility of a film and television adaptation of "The Prehistoric World" with the employees of the studio.

Director Xu Xiangming had a wry smile on his face at this time: "Director Zhao, it's too difficult to shoot "The Wild World". Even if you intercept a story and make it into a movie, most of the scenes will still use special effects!"

After a pause, Director Xu joked: "I can already feel the funds burning like crazy!!!"

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's true that the funds are burning, but I think it should be possible to make it. Moreover, fans of "Prehistoric World" also hope to see a "Prehistoric World" movie released in theaters. .”

At this time, Zhao Ye couldn't help but think of the fantasy action film "World of Warcraft" jointly produced by Legendary Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment in his previous life. This film was adapted from the game of the same name and did not achieve much success after its release.

The game "World of Warcraft" was publicly tested in North America in 2004, and it was not until 2016 that the movie was released.

At that time, "World of Warcraft" was no longer popular.

There is a saying that "strike while the iron is hot". Now that "The Prehistoric World" is a big hit, if we don't adapt the movie and release it quickly, what's the point of waiting for the popularity of the game to subside before adapting the movie?

Tao Feihang, the person in charge of Digital Light and Magic, said: "Dr. Zhao, our Digital Light and Magic can do all the scenes in "The Prehistoric World". In addition, we can also create various race models, which can ensure that it is difficult to tell the real from the fake and lifelike! "

Digital Light and Magic has always received strong support from the Wujiang Group, and its technology has already surpassed the American Industrial Light and Magic.

The powerful "Origin Engine" software can not only speed up the production of movie special effects and reduce costs, but the "Origin Engine" is also extremely excellent in terms of movie special effects.

Therefore, Tao Feihang really wants to try and challenge the "Prehistoric World" project.

Zhao Ye looked at him and asked, "Mr. Tao, please estimate how much the production cost would be if "The Prehistoric World" was adapted into a movie!"

When Tao Feihang heard this, he thought for a while and then said: "Probably, at least 3 million US dollars..."

Zhao Ye compared "Prehistoric World" to "Avatar". However, "Prehistoric World" obviously has many more special effects scenes than "Avatar", so the production cost of "Prehistoric World" is also higher than "Avatar".

However, actors in Hollywood movies are paid very high. In this regard, "The Wilderness" has an advantage, and more funds can be used for film special effects production.

"$3 million is no problem! I think that once the movie is released, we will definitely be able to make it back! Even if the movie doesn't make money, we can still make it back from peripheral products. At least when the movie is released, "The Prehistoric World 1: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony" The game will definitely become popular all over the Internet again!”

When Xu Xiangming heard this, he couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue, thinking that the daily revenue of "The Great Desolate World 1: Three Clans Struggle for Hegemony" is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. In one day, he can earn back the money used to make a movie. If it is adapted If the box office of your movie is not ideal, that’s okay. Just spend money on advertising and make money on games.

"Director Zhao, if that's the case, then I support this project. Later I will arrange for professional screenwriters to start adapting "The Prehistoric World"." Xu Xiangming said.

Zhao Ye nodded and explained: "Yes, but the timeline of the film and television adaptation cannot exceed the game!"

"Okay, Director Zhao, I understand, and I will remind them when the time comes." After Xu Xiangming finished speaking, he already had an adaptation plan in his mind. The first movie is going to be about the early tribulation of the Dragon and Han Dynasties in the prehistoric world, and the story of three clans competing for hegemony. .

Xu Xiangming also thought about whether to film according to the timeline, and the first adapted movie was filmed "Open the Sky to Measure the Tribulation".

However, there are very few descriptions of "opening the sky and measuring the calamity" in the novel, and it is difficult to fill in the plot. It would be better to shoot the shocking scene of "opening the sky and measuring the calamity" in a few minutes at the beginning when filming the first calamity of Long Han. Come down.

The plot of the First Tribulation of the Long Han Dynasty is more ups and downs. On the surface, the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn are fighting for dominance in the wilderness and overwhelming all clans. In fact, the three clans are plotted by Luohu, the remaining demon ancestor among the three thousand chaos demon gods. He caused boundless killings in the prehistoric era, and was suppressed and quit the prehistoric continent after carrying the fruits of his karma. At the end of the movie, the demon ancestor Luohu plotted against the three tribes and built the avenue of killing. However, at this moment, the remaining space demon among the three thousand chaos demons Demon gods such as Yang Mei, Daozu Hongjun, and Qiankun Yin and Yang suddenly appeared and then besieged Luo Hu. After Luo Hu killed the demon gods such as Qian Kun Yin and Yang, he finally blew himself up and destroyed the spiritual veins of the West. At this point, the first movie ends...

The more Xu Xiangming thought about it, the more excited he became. After the meeting was over, he went to discuss it with the screenwriters.

……

Half a month later, the first draft of the script for "The Prehistoric World" has been written.

Xu Xiangming is quite satisfied with this script. As long as it is polished, it will definitely be a very good script.

At noon, after finishing his meal, he came to Zhao Ye with the movie script.

"Director Zhao, this is a script adapted by the screenwriters based on the novel "The Prehistoric World". Please read it and see if there is anything else that needs to be modified."

"it is good."

The script does not have many words, only about 3 words.

In less than ten minutes, Zhao Ye finished reading.

Zhao Ye had nothing to be picky about the script, and told Xu Xiangming to let the screenwriters polish it themselves.

"Director Zhao, in terms of directors and actors, do you have any requirements or favorite candidates?"

"It's up to you to decide, but it's best to use people from your own company. "The Wilderness" is not like any other movie project. It has a large number of fans. Therefore, it is not the star that makes the movie, but the movie that makes the star! We are fully confident to use it. Some actors with good acting skills but cheap pay!" Zhao Ye thought for a while and said.

When Xu Xiangming heard this, he immediately changed his original plan of inviting big stars to star in the movie.

……

It is said that "there is no airtight wall in the world." Sure enough, the news that Shanghai Animation Film Studio was preparing to adapt and film "The Wilderness" spread like wildfire, and then quickly set off huge waves in China and even the world.

Hundreds of media reporters from around the world came to Shanghai Art Film Studio to confirm whether the news was true.

“So many reporters!!!”

Xu Xiangming looked down through the floor-to-ceiling windows and saw that reporters were so densely packed that the studio was blocked.

At this time, he quickly called Zhao Ye to ask if the film and television adaptation project of "The Prehistoric World" was going to be revealed to the public now.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he smiled and said, "Let's announce it to the public, it will just be enough to create some hype."

"Okay, Director Zhao, I'll announce the news now!" Xu Xiangming finished, and then waited for three or four seconds. Seeing that the boss had no other instructions, he hung up the phone.

He quickly took the elevator to the first floor and then walked to the door of the building.

As soon as the reporters saw him, they immediately excitedly asked loudly: "Mr. Xu, I heard that Shanghai Animation Film Studio is preparing to adapt and film "The Prehistoric World". Is this news true?"

Xu Xiangming nodded and said calmly: "It's true. The project of "Prehistoric World" has been approved and the script is being polished. The total investment is probably no less than 3 million US dollars!!!"

The news was confirmed and reporters were excited.

He pressed the camera with a convulsive hand and took a picture of Xu Xiangming.

Not long afterward, the news that "The Prehistoric World" was to be made into a movie successfully appeared on Weibo and Twitter's hot search lists.

Suddenly, it was a global sensation!
