The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Yuan Zhenshan's script is roughly written according to the setting context of Fist, but it is filled with many things.

This is inevitable.

Regarding this plot, the original setting of "Fist" may add up to less than 3,000 words. With so little stuff, there's no way a film that's nearly two hours long can hold up, with a ton of detail, a ton of characters, a ton of branching stories to recreate and fill in.

In addition to the content filled in on the skeleton, there are also some changes to the original settings of the 'Fist'.

Among them, one of the more important points is that the prince was almost executed by Urgot.

This is a plot that was mentioned in an official setting a long time ago, but it seems to be deleted in the new version of the setting.

In the old version of the setting, Urgot was about to execute the prince, but was attacked by Galen and killed. After his death, his body was brought back to Noxus, stitched up by the lord of Noxus, and then resurrected through witchcraft, and later became the hero "crab" that players are more familiar with.

However, this is not the case in the new settings.

In the current official setting of "Fist", Urgot is indeed a Noxus executioner, but there is no mention of this story with the prince. The new version of Urgot was sent to an evil city called Zaun. There was a coup in Noxus. General Swain overthrew the previous ruler and came to power, and then Urgot went to purge list, was betrayed to the alchemists of Zaun. After being tortured in Zaun, Urgot was transformed into a terrifying monster.

The script written by Yuan Zhenshan is based on the older version of the plot. In this regard, Fan Zhe felt that it was nothing. Using a hero in the original setting as a villain is actually better than redesigning a villain. And after resurrecting Urgot and turning it into a real killing machine, after the 'Dreadnought Urgot', can it be pulled out to be a villain—or a protagonist?

It's time to see how to set it up.

Focusing on the current project, Fan Zhe is relatively satisfied with the outline of the script submitted by Yuan Zhenshan, but he still put forward some opinions of his own.

"The role of the general, I don't think what you are doing is your own hero in LOL."

"The setting of the fist is not..."

"We can make some changes." Fan Zhe continued, "Let's change it to 'Debang Director. Xin Zhao', this hero is also considered a popular hero in LOL, and it is more eastward, which will help us in the domestic market. score."

"But...is it appropriate? According to the plot, Xin Zhao was rescued by Jarvan II from the arena in Noxus, and then served as the king's personal bodyguard until Jarvan III...According to the setting, he is not Is he a general?"

"...Don't stick to the setting like that, it's meaningless." Fan Zhe rolled his eyes, and continued: "From the content itself, let me extend it, Xin Zhao's loyalty to Demacia is unquestionable; he is the veteran of the two dynasties , and there is a high probability that he will become the veteran of the three dynasties, and his qualifications are no problem; his ability is no problem, and he has broken records countless times in the arena of Noxus. He is a warrior with outstanding achievements. Such a person, give him Demacia What happened to the identity of the general of the guards?"

"That's true..." Yuan Zhenshan scratched his head.

"In addition..." Fan Zhe continued: "We really need to fill this movie with more heroes from the original game as much as possible. On the one hand, it can enhance the attractiveness of the movie. On the other hand, according to our relationship with Penguin Signed contracts, the more major heroes appear in the film, the better."

According to the agreement between the two parties, as long as the heroic characters appearing in the movie exceed a certain proportion, they will enter the copyright sharing pool of both parties.

Yuan Zhenshan took out a pen and paper, nodded in agreement, and wrote down Fan Zhe's opinions.

Fan Zhe continued: "The outline of the story submitted so far, I think there is no big problem in terms of the main body of the story, but it lacks emotional lines. For a commercial film, proper embellishment of emotional lines is necessary. We need to let the audience In addition to the adrenaline-fueled combat, fast-paced plot and exciting visual effects, there can be a little something to ease the mood. The emotional drama is to fill this part of the content, and I think you need to think about it.”

Yuan Zhenshan thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."

"I have an idea for the role in this emotional drama - let's use Lux."

'Brilliant Girl Lax', whose real name is Laxana Crownguard, is Galen's younger sister and a member of the most loyal Crownguard family in Demacia.

But Demacia is a country that hates magic very much. Wizards and magic are regarded as evil here. The found mages are either executed, imprisoned, or exiled...

Lux, on the other hand, is an excellent light mage.

With a dual identity, there are many things worth exploring in this character.

"Our follow-up should be an independent film of Lacus, so I hope she can appear in another part of this film."

"If it's an emotional drama..." Yuan Zhenshan said, "Is it about Lacus and Jarvan IV?"

"Why don't you write about Lacus and Galen?" Fan Zhe laughed, and continued: "You don't need to write too clearly. Anyway, it's useful to have an extra female character."

"That's okay..." Yuan Zhenshan continued to record the communication and exchange between the two on the banknotes.

This discussion about the movie script lasted for several hours, and the two chatted quite happily.

After finishing the work, Fan Zhe also made a request to Yuan Zhenshan: the screenwriting team must complete the creation of the script within half a month and come up with the final script.

Among them, it is estimated that many revisions will be required, and the task is still relatively heavy.

But script creation is a very important part of the crew's preliminary work. After all, not everyone is Wong Kar-wai, and if the film, initially titled "Demacia: Glory", is made in the style of Wong Kar-wai, it will be considered a hit.

In addition to script writing, there are two more important parts in the pre-production work of the crew.

Find directors and actors.

Fan Zhe has considered becoming a director himself. In fact, he is quite interested in filming, but... he is too busy with work and has too many projects on hand, so he feels that he may not be able to get away.

And, relatively speaking, the movie is going to be a heavy industry movie.

The so-called "heavy industry film" refers to the kind of production cost is relatively high, the production is highly professional and process-oriented, and the works are distributed to the global market.

For example, Hollywood blockbusters basically follow this model, and the most successful one is Marvel's superhero series.

Since it is a 'heavy industry', under the model, the so-called 'talent' is just a screw. Indispensable but replaceable.

So, when Fan Zhe was looking for a director, he didn't really value this so-called talent, let alone fame. What he needed was a director who had sufficient executive power and could complete the film in a professional manner in accordance with the prescribed process. shooting.

The post-production does not need the director to take care of it.
